Looking towards the direction of the roaring sound, in mid-air, Jingraku Shunsui held a knife in his left hand, with a leisurely look on his face, "Haha, the fighting over there seems to be very fierce, how about it, Mr. 'Ten Blades'? We are
Isn’t it time for a good fight?”
As he spoke, he looked at Stark who was silent across from him.
"I reject."
What is unexpected is that Stark rejected Jingraku Shunsui's suggestion without hesitation.
"How could you just refuse? You're so indifferent~" Kyōraku Shunsui's tone was full of helplessness.
"Are you not sincere enough?"
Stark pointed the knife at him, "You clearly said you wanted to have a good fight, but I don't think you are serious about it at all. You haven't even pulled out the second knife yet."
That's right, although there were a few moves in the brief exchange of opinions, Kyoraku Shunsui was obviously wearing two swords, but he had not drawn one of them until now. It was obvious that he still had some strength left.
"No, you must have misunderstood, right?" Jingraku Shunsui explained with a smile, "The remaining one is a short sword. The short sword is not suitable for use in combat against long swords. I only choose based on the weapon used by the opponent.
It just depends on which knife you use, the two knives are not used together."
"Really?" Stark's face was full of doubts, "Then why did you always alternate the knife between your left and right hands when you were fighting with me just now? And... I don't know if you realized it, but you wielded it with your left hand.
When you wield the sword, you are closer to me than when you swing the sword with your right hand. The subconscious distance between the left and right hands is different, and there is a short sword at the waist. If you say that you are not a double-sword style, do you believe it? Subliminal actions cannot deceive others.
grim Reaper."
"..."
Kyōraku Shunsui smiled and remained silent for a while.
"It's really troublesome... I have obviously adjusted the distance between my left and right hands deliberately. It's amazing that you can even see such a small gap..."
As he spoke, Jingraku Shunsui's gaze became dangerous, "It's so scary, so scary... This keen observation really scares me."
Buzz——
The sound of swords sounded as he spoke.
Kyōraku Shunsui drew his sword again and approached Stark, slashing at him.
"..."
Stark silently turned his head slightly, as if he had calculated the distance, and moved his head just out of reach of the tip of the knife.
"Wow, it's really amazing. This control of distance is simply chilling."
Seeing that the sword missed, Jingraku Shunsui sighed with emotion, a faint smile appeared on his face.
His left hand holding the knife gently released, and the long knife was thrown from his left hand to his right hand.
Buzz——
There was another sound of knife sound, and the long knife slashed at Stark on the opposite side again.
"You're not bad either..."
Stark looked at the distance at which Jingraku Shunsui swung his sword across from him with some surprise in his eyes, "The distance was adjusted to the same distance in one fell swoop. If you were like this from the beginning, I'm afraid I really can't see what you're doing.
reserve."
"Thank you for the compliment. I just realized my mistake and corrected it."
Jingraku Shunsui chuckled, but the offensive in his hands did not stop.
Compared with several other fierce battles, the battle between these two people looked like they were strolling in a garden, and seemed extremely leisurely.’
"By the way, Mr. Ten Blades, I have a question I would like to ask." Kyoryaku Shunsui suddenly asked.
"What's the matter?" Stark asked calmly.
"If I pull out two swords at the same time...will you use all your strength to deal with it?" As he spoke, Kyōraku Shunsui's gaze became dangerous.
"Spare me..." Stark's face was full of decadence, "You are strong enough now. If you use two knives at the same time, it will be very troublesome..."
"I see. I just think you are complimenting me?"
Jingraku Shunsui smiled and slowly touched the other knife at his waist with his free left hand.
"Then...since I've been praised like this, I have to perform well..."
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Stark's expression also became serious.
He was answered by two piercing sounds.
Two Zanpakutō, one long and one short, approached instantly.
Dang——dang——
The sound of the knife suddenly became intense, and the leisurely warm-up exercise seemed to be over.
"..."
On the roof below, Ukitake Jushiro sat upright and raised his head, smiling at the other Arrancar who also did not intervene in the battle between the two.
"Hey...don't you...don't plan to join the battle?" Lilinite felt a little confused about this guy with a gentle smile on his face. This leisurely sitting posture and smile...this is the demeanor that should be shown on the battlefield.
What?
"Of course, two against one is unfair." Faced with Lilynit's question, Ukitake Jushiro replied as if it was a matter of course.
"Fair? Now is not the time to say something like this, right? Stark is very powerful. If you don't help... that uncle will die." Lilinite reminded.
"Don't worry, Kyoraku is also very powerful." Ukitake Jushiro was still smiling.
"Then I don't care. He will really be dead by then, so don't regret it." Seeing that her reminder had no effect, Lilynite curled her lips and looked unhappy.
"Thank you, you are so kind. I will pray that something like that doesn't happen." As he spoke, Ukitake Jushiro's expression became a little relieved, "I didn't expect that there would be a kind-hearted child like you among the Arrancars."
"Tsk. Kindhearted?"
Lilinite scratched her head and looked impatient when she heard this, "Forget it, how about we have a fight?"
"How can this be done?" Suddenly, the look on Ukitake Jushiro's face became serious.
"Ha!? Why can't it work?" Blue veins popped up on Lilinette's face.
"You're just a child! You shouldn't have appeared on such a battlefield." Jushiro Ukitake explained seriously.
"I'm a child!? Are you an idiot? How can Arrancar judge age by appearance?" The expression on Lilynette's face twitched, and she seemed like she could no longer control her emotions.
"I know, but if it doesn't work, it won't work." Jushiro Ukitake shook his head slightly, "No matter what you say, to me, in my eyes you are just a child, a girl, so I can't fight you.
If you insist on insisting...I will have no choice but to try my best to drive you home."
"Ha..." The smile on Lilinite's face was a little ferocious, "I've really been completely underestimated by you, huh? God of Death!"
In anger, she raised her hand and grasped the horns of the bone helmet-like mask on her head.
bass--
With a fierce friction sound, a knife was pulled out of her head.
"Forget it, I will make you take back what you just said."
"Well...this is really..."
Ukitake Jushiro looked a little embarrassed when he saw Lilynette seeming angry, "It's really nerve-wracking..."
············
After the violent explosion, the "ash" of the "grey cat" protecting Rangiku Matsumoto and Momo Hinamori at the center of the explosion gradually dispersed, and the figures of the two people emerged.
"Are you okay? Hinamori..." Matsumoto Rangiku asked worriedly as Hinamori Momo seemed to be panting for a lot of energy.
"I'm fine..."
Hinamori Momo shook her head apologetically, and then explained with a smile, "This is my first time using a combination of spells, so I didn't expect that it would consume so much spiritual power..."
"It's really amazing. That was No. 12's 'Fuhuo' just now, right? This is the first time I've seen someone weave it into such a complicated web." Matsumoto Rangiku admired.
"Yes, but it is not a simple 'Ambush Fire', but a composite of the 'Red Fire Cannon', and then covered with the 'curved light' of Binding Dao 26 to make it invisible. It can not only be used to control the enemy, but also
It can also detonate at the same time. The most important thing is that it cannot be noticed by the other party, so I was very careful just now... It is not easy to concentrate in this situation..."
Hinamori Momo was filled with emotion when she recalled the operation just now. It was also the first time for her to use such a complex combination technique in actual combat, so it was a surprise to have such a result. "Fortunately, it was successful. But in the end it was still
Thanks to Miss Rangiku's 'grey cat' for protecting us, after all, it was my first time... so I couldn't control the scope of the explosion."
"It's under good control," Rangiku Matsumoto shook his head slightly. Compared to the three Arrancars who were blown away and were rendered motionless, the aftermath they suffered was completely negligible.
"!!"
Just when the two thought the battle was over, terrifying spiritual pressure enveloped them from the dust.
"Throw her away! Bilu Dou Nu!"
"Bite her to pieces! Golden Lion General!"
"Hang her! White Snake Princess!"
Three angry roars came from the smoke of the explosion, and the spiritual pressure rising into the sky instantly dispersed the smoke. The three Arrancars behind the sword emerged in the air, seemingly unscathed!
"how come?"
Hinamori Momo looked at the three Arrancars across from her in surprise, "Why are they unscathed?"
"As long as you use the Return Blade, most of the injuries will be restored... This is where these guys are in trouble..." Rangiku Matsumoto explained on the side, his forehead covered with sweat.
"Damn it!" Apache looked down at them angrily, "It's really troublesome."
"Yes, it seems that the longer the time goes on, the easier it will be for them to take advantage of it... Why not just kill them in one go?" Mira Rhodes suggested.
"That's all we have to do..." Sun Sun covered his mouth, his eyes looking a little gloomy.
puff--
Three sounds of flesh being torn apart sounded almost simultaneously.
Under the surprised eyes of Matsumoto Rangiku and Hinamori Momo, the Arrancar trio ruthlessly tore off their left arms from their bodies as if they were committing suicide.
"Hybrid Beast God! Ya Weng!"
The blood of torn flesh and blood flew in the air, and the three falling arms were entangled together and began to fuse and expand.
Finally, a huge body appeared in front of everyone, and terrifying spiritual pressure rose.
Hybrid beast god·Yu Weng.
This is a humanoid hybrid beast weapon summoned by Apache, Mira Rhodes and Sun Sun Shi by fusing their own arms.
It has antlers and feet, long black hair, and a thick snake head and tail on its back.
"What is this?"
Looking at the weird-looking monster in front of them, fear arose in the hearts of both Matsumoto Rangiku and Hinamori Momo.
The terrifying spiritual pressure brought them an unprecedented sense of oppression, making them feel like they were peering into a bottomless abyss.
"Huh...huh..."
The monster's breathing can be clearly heard.
It was looking around, as if looking for something.
Soon, Matsumoto Rangiku's eyes met it.
In just a moment, an electric shock-like feeling spread throughout Matsumoto Rangiku's body.
"!!"
She realized something was wrong, and raised the 'grey cat' in her hand to prepare for the attack.
But before she had time to call out the name of 'grey cat'.
That huge figure had already appeared behind her.
Such a huge figure possesses such terrifying speed.
"puff--"
Matsumoto Rangiku seemed to be slow to react before a mouthful of blood spurted out from her mouth.
She looked down at her abdomen blankly. Almost half of her abdomen, including her internal organs, had been torn off by the monster.
"Well--"
A strange sound came from Ya Weng's mouth.
It raised its head and looked at its fingertips with some confusion. It released its pinched index finger and thumb, and a ball of flesh and blood wrapped in its internal organs fell from the air.
"ah……"
Seeing this scene, Apache on the opposite side seemed to have remembered something and said, "I forgot to remind you...Ya Weng is much more powerful and cruel than us...be careful."
"..."
Matsumoto Rangiku was silent.
She was now unable to refute, her eyes began to become blurry, and she could not even stabilize her body and began to fall from the air.
"Miss Rangiku!"
Hinamori Momo shouted.
The anxious voice resounded throughout the entire Karakura Town and reached everyone's ears.
"Thirty-Seven of the Binding Dao - Hanging Star!"
She quickly caught up with Rangiku Matsumoto's falling figure and caught the falling body with the binding rope.
"Hoo! Ha! Hoo!"
Rapid and weak breathing came, and the expression on Matsumoto Rangiku's face was distorted with pain as he was seriously injured.
"Miss Rangiku! Hold on! I'll treat you right away!"
Not caring about everything around her, Hinamori Momo panicked and wanted to treat her.
The area below the ribs and the intestines were hollowed out. In this state, Rangiku Matsumoto couldn't even breathe. She knew she had to hurry up.
but……
boom--
The sound of heavy footsteps came, and a huge shadow enveloped her and Matsumoto Rangiku.
"!!!"
Hinamori Momo raised her head blankly.
She saw the monster-like figure and raised the fist in his hand.
Click——
The short time allowed her to pull out her Zanpakutō and protect it in front of her.
But under such a swift and violent fist, the Zanpakutō shattered into pieces, and then the fist struck her mercilessly.
puff--
Blood spurted out from the mouth.
Hinamori Momo's body flew upside down like a kite with its string broken.
In a brief confrontation, with just two blows, the two vice-captain-level Shinigami were easily defeated.
Hinamori Momo looked at the terrifying huge figure with distracted eyes. In her eyes at this moment, this shadow represented 'despair'.
This is no longer the strength that ordinary Arrancar or even Arrancar subordinate officers should have. Such a powerful monster...with their strength...how can they defeat it? Even if the captain comes...I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it, right?
