Hisagi Shuhei stood on the outside of the battlefield, his expression full of confusion.
Following Captain Duan Mu's order, he tried to walk towards the perimeter, but no matter how he walked, he could not leave this area and would eventually come back here again.
When he found that he could not leave, Hisagi Shuhei gave up his plan to ask for support, and instead began to seriously watch the battle between Captain Danki and Aizen.
On the battlefield, Captain Duan Mu still gritted his teeth and persisted. Although he was not injured, Captain Duan Mu's face turned pale every time he received Aizen's sword.
The captain was obviously at a disadvantage at this time. As an assistant to the adjutant, he should step forward to provide support.
But what Captain Duanki said to him before the battle started made Hisagi Shuhei feel extremely confused.
Regarding Aizen Kyoka Suigetsu's ability, it is no longer a secret between the captain and the vice-captain. If there was no intuitive feeling before, then after the scene when they first arrived here, it was enough for Hisagi Shuhei to understand Aizen.
The horror of ability.
It is not impossible for Hisagi Shuhei to understand that Captain Duanmu did not allow him to interfere at will.
But can I just stand here, do nothing, and watch the captain being suppressed by the enemy, or even... is it possible that he will be defeated?
…
Pa~~
The Kidō Blade was shattered once again, and Kyouka Suigetsu, who was no longer in the way, was in front of Duan Mu in an instant.
Phew——!
The sound of blood spurting out was heard, and Duan Mu's whole body was shot out backwards.
Aizen, on the other hand, stood where he was before, frowning slightly.
Averted.
His sword was originally intended to severely damage him, but at the moment when Kidou's blade shattered, Duan Mu suddenly twisted his body at an almost impossible angle, causing the blow that was supposed to cut it in half.
It only left a slight stab wound on his waist.
His body is really weird, and his ability to control his body is extremely terrifying.
Aizen shook his head slightly, not too entangled.
As soon as his toes touched the ground, his whole body suddenly disappeared.
On the other side, when Duan Mu stood up, the wound on his waist had healed due to his self-healing ability. Almost at the same time as he stood up, the acupuncture points in his hands began to send spiritual pressure outward crazily, re-condensing the Kidō Blade.
Before the condensation was completed, Duan Mu had already slashed out with his sword.
摪——!
The crisp sound of the blades colliding was heard. Duan Mu looked at Aizen who appeared in front of him, his whole body trembled greatly, and his muscles seemed to have countless little mice running under his skin.
The ground under Duan Mu's feet shook violently after Duan Mu blocked Aizen's knife, and then collapsed with a loud rumbling sound.
Take off the load!
Aizen's spiritual pressure is really too strong. Duan Mu's ability to sustain it is not relying on his spiritual pressure, but his physical strength!
Every time Aizen takes a knife, all the muscles in Duan Mu's body will start to squirm crazily, sending the blade back with terrifying force, which will be transmitted quickly through muscle squirming, and then most of the force will be released into the ground under his feet.
But even so...
Duan Mu's hands still felt as if they were broken, and he had almost lost consciousness.
The spiritual pressure carried by the sword was strong and heavy, and each sword was like a mountain falling from the sky!
At this moment, Duan Mu deeply realized the gap between spiritual pressure!
But Duan Mu didn't know that while he was shocked by Aizen's spiritual pressure, Aizen's heart was also filled with surprise.
because……
Nearly three minutes have passed since the war started.
Once upon a time, Duan Mu was completely vulnerable to him, and three minutes was enough to kill him countless times.
But now, Duan Mu has grown to the point where he can take his own attack.
His strength...
It has become stronger than the last time it was besieged by the Ten Blades.
Not only the spiritual pressure and the steel-like defense, but the biggest change in Duanmu is his own skills.
Although he looked shaky and could retreat at any time, three minutes passed and he still failed to cause fatal damage to him.
The arc of the blade's attack, the timing of releasing force, the control of the combat distance...
Everything Duan Mu showed surprised Aizen.
It was as if Duan Mu had experienced countless life and death battles in this short period of time, allowing him to deeply engrave these skills that few people paid attention to into his body. Often before his brain could react, his body
He reacted instinctively.
Bang~~!
Duanmu shot backwards again, but this time Aizen did not continue to pursue, but stopped in place.
He understood that with the current intensity of his attack, as long as Duan Mu didn't make any mistakes, it would be difficult to pose much of a threat to him before his terrifying self-healing power.
Even if you continue, you will still be the one who wins in the end.
but……
If he continues to drag it on, he will most likely be noticed by other captains in Soul Society, especially those he doesn't want to contact yet.
Now is not the best time to contact them.
"I admit, I underestimated you a little."
Aizen frankly admitted the mistakes he had made, and the smile on his face gradually faded: "I'm very happy about your growth, but that's it for now."
As he spoke, Aizen held the mirror in his hand across his chest.
In the distance, Duan Mu had a stern look on his face. His detection and reflex nerves were stimulated to the extreme, and he immediately noticed the changes in Aizen's body.
That's...
The power of Bengyu!
Light green energy gradually emerged from Aizen's chest, and his whole person gave Duan Mu the feeling of being a different person.
If we say that when he fought with himself before, most of the power Aizen used was the ability when he was a Shinigami, and then he used Bengyu's ability as a supplement.
But now Aizen has truly unleashed Bengyu's power.
Duan Mu's eyes turned and landed on Aizen's chest.
If nothing unexpected happens, Bengyoku should have been integrated into Aizen's body by now, but the degree of integration is definitely not deep.
Because he still hasn't completely given up his ability to die.
Even though Bengyu is the main focus now, this has not changed.
But it's still extremely scary.
The only thing that makes Duan Mu happy is...
Now, he has not yet reached the point in his memory where he can match the sum of the Ten Blades and can single-handedly fight against the entire Gotei Thirteenth Division and the Masked Legion. Otherwise, there is no chance that he will still be alive.
Stand here.
If the degree of integration is not deep...
Duan Mu looked at Aizen's chest, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
"Huh~~"
With a soft breath, visible mist was exhaled from Duan Mu's mouth. His body slowly straightened up. At this moment, the muscles of his strong upper body were reduced little by little like a deflated balloon.
Fight!
When Aizen makes changes, he himself will naturally change accordingly.
Previously, Duanmu did not use his body in battle, but used it as a transmission channel to remove Aizen's power to ensure that he could persist longer.
Facing Aizen at this moment, Duan Mu could feel it even without contact...
The same method no longer works.
If that's the case, then give it your all!
Although Duan Mu rarely fights hard, he definitely does not lack the courage to fight hard.
Sweat slid down along the streamlined muscles and dripped into the soil under his feet. Duan Mu's expression became extremely calm at this moment, even calm to the point of being a little indifferent, which was heart-stopping!
"Suck~~"
In the blink of an eye, the spirit seeds in the entire area formed a funnel-like vortex on top of Duan Mu's head. The manic spirit spirits crazily poured into Duan Mu's body.
In a pair of eyes, the azure light shines brightly.
Aizen noticed something and looked up at Duan Mu.
And at this moment, Duan Mu took a step forward.
With one step, he disappeared from the spot very abruptly. At the same time as he disappeared, the place where his feet stepped collapsed, and countless spider web-like cracks spread along the ground in all directions.
Aizen smiled nonchalantly, flipped his wrist, and suddenly slashed the mirror across his chest.
Light green light bloomed, and the knife cut through the air. The powerful power contained in the knife shattered the air wherever it passed, and a vacuum area was formed in front of him for a moment.
This blow, if it hits the ground, is enough to form a small canyon!
Almost at the same time that the sword was swung to its extreme, Duan Mu's figure appeared on the track where the sword was swung.
Duan Mu who appeared in the vacuum area, even if he had not yet come into contact with the long knife, his whole body was already distorted, and his strong body defense was like paper, with dense wounds torn out.
He can't take this knife!
If you try hard, you will die here, and you may not even have a chance to use experience points for treatment.
Will die!
The body is constantly sending signals to the brain, and the shadow of death surges into my mind like a dark cloud.
but……
disperse!
Duanmu directly dispelled this signal. He did not retreat or defend, but directly stabbed Aizen with the Kidou blade in his hand.
This scene made Aizen frown.
But then, Aizen felt that his feet were empty, and everything he stepped on suddenly disappeared at this moment!
This is?
Aizen's pupils shrank, looking at Duan Mu who was so close, his mind immediately recalled the kick that Duan Mu kicked hard on the ground when he rushed towards him. Originally, he thought that the kick was just Duan Mu's attempt to increase his speed.
It's faster, but now it seems...
When he rushed over, he was obviously ready to fight desperately, and even anticipated the response he might make!
Fighting consciousness!
The sudden appearance of a large hole caused Aizen's figure to sway slightly, and the blade in his hand was also unbalanced at this moment.
Boom~~
And at this moment, Duan Mu's body suddenly burst out with flames. The flames revealed an extremely burning and sharp aura, and the terrifying scorching aura rushed towards his face.
Ninety-six of the Broken Dao: Cremation with one sword!
Duan Mu integrated this ghost technique into his body for the first time, and mixed it with the thunder in his body.
Bang~
An explosive sound came from Duan Mu's body, and the skin on his body exploded violently at the moment the flames appeared, but no blood flowed out.
because……
Duan Mu could clearly feel that the moment he integrated Yi Dao Cremation into his body, his blood was instantly evaporated, and his internal organs became charred black in an instant, like charcoal!
death~
Within reach!
Life force is passing away very fast.
Duan Mu's whole body became extremely charred. If his body was not strong enough and the thunder in his body barely played some protective role, Duan Mu might have turned into charcoal the moment he was integrated into Yidao's cremation.
But even so, he still couldn't hold on for long!
Therefore, this knife must be thrust out in the shortest possible time, otherwise...
Maybe before he can hit Aizen, Duanmu will be killed by his own moves!!
The knife stabbed straight towards Aizen's chest. At the same time, thunder and fire burst out, and the muscle strength of the whole body and the spiritual pressure in the body were concentrated on his hands.
This blow is Duan Mu's strongest blow!
Once it is pierced, it will span the sky!
Thunder and flames soared into the sky, breaking through the barrier covering the area and illuminating the entire Seireitei.
The terrifying power even made everyone's hearts sink, and they subconsciously turned their attention to the area where the Thirteenth Division was located.
Aizen looked at Duan Mu in front of him with admiration in his eyes, even he had to admit it.
Duan Mu's attack was indeed a threat to himself.
You may even kill yourself!
pity……
Still useless!
The light green light on Aizen's chest was strong, and his eyes were filled with white light.
boom--!
A deafening roar came out, and a terrifying shock wave centered on the two people and spread crazily in all directions.
Wherever the impact passed, the building instantly turned into ashes, the ground bulged, and then tens of thousands of tons of soil rose into the sky, forming an extremely huge basin with the two people at the center.
And the very center of the impact,
The Zanpakuto made of thunder and fire in Duan Mu's hand stopped in front of Aizen's chest. More strictly speaking...
It stopped in front of that layer of super spiritual pressure wall.
This is a barrier that is enough to crush the high-density spiritual pressure entity ‘Jutu’ in the broken world!
"it's useless."
Aizen looked at Duan Mu who was close at hand and said: "This is the gap between you and me!"
"Yeah?"
Duan Mu's voice reached Aizen's ears, and Aizen instinctively felt something was wrong.
because……
There was no despair in that voice, there was just murderous intent!
After spitting out two words, flames came out of Duan Mu's mouth like breathing, causing his body to be further damaged, as if he might be burned to death by the flames all over his body at any time.
but……
Laughing!
A curve appeared on his charred face, and his charred cheeks were torn apart by this slight movement.
What is he laughing at?
The bad feeling in Aizen's heart became more and more intense, and at this moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
How is that possible!?
Aizen's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he realized that the blade mixed with thunder and fire had actually broken through the super spiritual pressure wall and stabbed into his chest.
wrong!
Not a breakthrough, but an integration?
It was as if two energies of the same nature were fused together.
Could it be...
Aizen suddenly raised his head and looked at Duan Mu.
"伱......"
At this moment, he suddenly understood that he had been fooled!
The power of the knife did not fully explode, but a part of it was released to disguise it.
And actually...
Duan Mu compressed the power contained in this sword, and then broke through his own super spiritual pressure wall by integrating it.
This made Aizen realize that the Duanmu in front of him was walking on the same path as himself, otherwise he would not have been able to break through the dimensional gap so easily!
But it's too late!
It should be said that when Duan Mu used the 'soul combination exchange' to allow himself to enter the same dimension as Aizen in an instant, this blow was destined to hit, even if Duan Mu can maintain this state for only
Just a moment!
At this moment, the two of them unleashed their strongest power without hesitation!
Can be blocked!!
For the first time, a look of panic appeared on Aizen's face, and his spiritual pressure and the power of Bengyu were stimulated to the extreme at this moment.
As for the tip of Duan Mu's blade that had sunk into the super-spiritual pressure wall, countless thunder and flames gathered crazily and vented them towards Aizen's chest.
This collision was like the calm before the storm, without making any sound.
However, the area around the two people was distorted, making the two of them seem like a mirage. It seems simple, but if anyone enters this twisted area, they will be instantly turned into blood.
Stalemate!!
Once one party cannot hold on, the battle will come to an end.
And just then...
"嘤~!"
The weird sound reappeared, and this time not only reached Duan Mu's ears, but Aizen also heard the scream!
At the same time as the whistling sound came out, the blade in Duan Mu's hand that was originally condensed by thunder and fire actually formed a solid body at this moment. The pitch-black blade wrapped all the fire and thunder in it, and the white handle glowed brightly.
The next moment, the nearly 1.6 meter long knife reached forward again about a centimeter.
Pa~~
The moment it appeared, the solid blade shattered and turned back into the original Kidō Blade, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
But~~
The stalemate is broken!
Rumble——!
A loud noise resounded throughout Soul Society, and thunder and flames enveloped both Duanmu and Aizen.
Looking down from a high altitude, countless dust smoke covered the sky and covered the entire area.
Hisagi Shuhei, who was far outside the battlefield, changed his expression, and his whole body was thrown away by the impact again.
This impact lasted for nearly half a minute. When Hisagi Shuhei steadied his body and looked towards the center of the battlefield, his face was completely filled with shock and horror.
Looking around, the entire area near the 13th Division team building has been razed to the ground, and even the ground has been reduced by one level.
Where is Captain Duan Mu?
Hisagi Shuhei's expression changed, he ignored the shock and hurriedly looked towards the center of the battlefield.
The scene that caught his eye made his expression change.
Looking around, he saw Duan Mu, who was like charcoal, lying on the ground, and the breath around him was coming and going.
It was obvious that he was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
And opposite him...
Aizen was standing there, the expression on his face was a little distorted, and the most important thing was... his entire right half of his body, including his chest, was reduced to nothing, and there was an extremely huge gap in his body!
Did Captain Duan Mu win?
Did you win?
The experience points that he had never stopped adding since integrating into the One-Sword Cremation were exhausted. After Duan Mu maintained his life, he immediately looked at Aizen.
"This is impossible!?"
Aizen was not dead. He looked at Duan Mu with murderous intent. Even now, he still couldn't believe... that he would actually be defeated by Duan Mu.
Looking at Aizen who was no longer calm as before, Duan Mu curled up his lips.
"You... are too arrogant... too slow, Aizen!"
Whether it's spiritual pressure or strength, Aizen is far above him.
But he was so arrogant that he didn't think anyone else could walk on the same path as him.
From the beginning, he placed himself in a superior position and treated Duan Mu as an ant.
If he had placed himself in the same position as him from the beginning, he would have had no chance of defeating Aizen.
Although Aizen's strength after merging with Bengyoku is terrifying, in a way, being overconfident has weakened his most terrifying wisdom, calmness, and caution!
I won!
To be honest, even now, Duan Mu still felt a little unbelievable in his heart, and even doubted whether Jinghua Shuiyue had evolved to the point where he could deceive his own eye skills.
But I did win!!
Although the price paid is also extremely painful.
However……
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
A diamond-like transparent sphere suddenly flew up from the ground, and then headed towards Aizen's disappeared chest.
This scene made Duan Mu's expression change drastically.
However……
But there is no way to stop it!
This is……
evolution?
Has Bengyu already recognized Aizen to this extent?
The glow instantly formed a cocoon, wrapping the almost dead Aizen in it.
Seeing this, Duan Mu couldn't help but feel despair in his heart.
