Sonorous collisions continued to sound in the air.
Zhibo frowned slightly as he looked at the weird monster in front of him, who seemed to be just an ordinary Hollow, but could use the Hollow Flash and had a captain-level strength.
"Oh...it's impossible for a monster like you not to attract the attention of Soul Society! Someone must have concealed your existence...who instructed it?" He asked tentatively, as if he wanted to see the other person.
Will you answer?
And the answer is obvious.
"As expected, it's impossible to answer me... It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter whether you say it or not! I just need to deal with you here and then hand over the collected soul data to the Technology Development Bureau for analysis!"
The monster in front of him showed no signs except that it kept roaring at him and attacking.
In desperation, Shiba could only give up his plan to figure out this problem temporarily and deal with this monster first. After all, if he continued to drag it out, he would be unable to hold on.
"Burn! Yanyue!"
As Shiha focused on freeing his Zanpakutō, flaming spiritual pressure suddenly rose from the blade.
He waved his Zanpakutō and mercilessly headed towards the strange Hollow in front of him.
However, at the next moment, his pupils shrank sharply.
puff--
"What!?"
Under Zhibo's confused gaze, blood burst out from behind him.
He did feel an attack from behind just now, but when he felt the attack coming, he was already so close that he couldn't dodge it.
But it seems that now is not the time to be doubtful, because the oncoming Xu has no intention of showing mercy because of his injury, and the sharp claws are still swiping towards this direction mercilessly.
"hateful……"
Zhiba Yishin had no choice but to grit his teeth and retreat quickly, temporarily keeping a safe distance.
After pulling away, Shiba Isshin quickly realized the seriousness of the problem. The attack that injured him just now was obviously not a Hollow attack, but a Zanpakutō!
In other words, someone is hiding the fact of such a strange virtual existence behind the scenes, and that person is also a god of death.
There is actually a God of Death who is shielding such a monster from killing his companions, and even attacks his companions himself. Such a problem is not a serious one.
But who on earth would do this?
At that time, Shiba Isshin naturally didn't know who it was, and when he found out that this person was Aizen, he had no way to return to Soul Society.
"It's really useful. That guy Kisuke Urahara left something great."
In the darkness, Aizen and others looked down with disdain on the injured Shiba Isshin, who was gradually losing ground in the pursuit of their experimental subjects.
The blow just now was done behind their backs.
Among the inventions left behind by Kisuke Urahara after he defected from Soul Society is a coat that can completely isolate spiritual pressure.
Then they only need to add a little bit of ghost tunnel for hiding, so that the figure can be completely integrated into the surrounding environment, making it almost undetectable.
Especially on a rainy day like this, and in a battle where Shiba Isshin had to be distracted to deal with a powerful enemy, it was even more impossible to be discovered.
"Damn it! Who is it!?"
"Where are you hiding!? Get out of here!!"
Shiba Isshin's angry roars kept coming from below.
In response, Aizen and others' faces were full of contempt.
"Oh, he seems to have realized that the blow just now was not a false one. He is really sharp." Ichimaru Gin praised.
"Indeed, it's a pity that's all."
Aizen sneered and turned around to leave, "Let's go."
"Is that enough?"
Ichimaru Gin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "No need to..."
"No, his swastika will put a great burden on the body, and it can no longer be used after suffering such a degree of injury." Aizen explained calmly without looking back, "If it will be used by Haikou.
If you kill the captain who is in an unsolved state, then such an experimental subject is just a failed work."
"Really?" Ichimaru Gin chuckled and did not continue to say anything.
But Dong Xianyao on the side seemed very confident in the results of this experiment: "Please don't call it 'experimental body', please call it 'White'. It is different from the Kyūdu we have created so far! Because...
It is the first Hollow created from the 'soul of the God of Death'."
"Ah...Yes, I'm sorry." Aizen chuckled after hearing this, not intending to argue, "But...the whole body is wrapped in black armor, but the inside is 'white', so it is called 'White'
'? It's really ironic..."
boom--
He waved his arms like sharp blades and struck Shiba Isshin from top to bottom.
The terrifying impact caused the roof under Shiba Isshin's feet to instantly collapse. Not only that, the impact also caused his already injured back to bear pressure and blood spurted out again.
"hateful……"
Shiba Isshin felt more and more that something was wrong.
The sneak attack just now caused him a lot of injuries, which made him unable to continue using Swastika.
Once a Shinigami loses his swastika, it is equivalent to having his arm cut off and his strength is greatly reduced. Facing a weird Hollow with such terrifying strength, he is completely at a disadvantage and is in danger.
clang--
After trying his best to deflect the pressure from his Zanpakutō, Isshin Shiba once again closed the distance.
And the virtual image was tireless and immediately followed him again, seemingly determined to tear him into pieces.
"Damn it...you are so underestimated!"
Seeing this, Zhibo gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to pick up a wisp of blood from the wound on his body, and then wiped it on his mouth.
He took a deep breath and sprayed out his spiritual pressure from his mouth, using the blood as a medium to create a blazing flame.
At the same time, he swung the knife fiercely with the other hand holding the knife, and the flame was immediately drawn to the blade. It seemed that it barely made up for the power gap caused by the incomprehensible swastika, and he struck again with a fierce blow.
boom--
This blow struck the incoming virtual body mercilessly, and accompanied by a violent roar, smoke suddenly filled the air.
However, the next moment, the black shadow rushed out of the smoke again and continued to attack him.
It was not uninjured, it just raised its arm to block when facing this slash, and at the expense of sacrificing one arm, the rhythm of the attack was not affected to the greatest extent.
It is hard to imagine that this was a judgment made in an instant by an irrational virtual energy.
This kind of monster is completely born for fighting!
Below, Kurosaki Masaki, who left Ishida's house, finally arrived at the scene after pursuing the spiritual pressure.
However, when she raised her head, a shadow was falling at an extremely fast speed, falling straight to a position not far from her side.
"Ahem——"
A soft cough sounded from the falling smoke screen.
Kurosaki stood up in embarrassment: "Damn, even if one arm is cut off, he is still alive and kicking... What a troublesome guy."
Whoosh——
Before he could finish complaining, the black shadow pursued him again.
"cut……"
Shiba Isshin clenched his teeth and raised his Zanpakutō to block in embarrassment.
boom--
Another roar sounded, and the ground beneath his feet was once again shattered by the terrifying impact.
The pressure coming from above became stronger and stronger. Zhibo's arm, which he raised to block with his sword, gradually bent due to the terrifying force, and seemed to be almost unable to support it.
However, at this moment, a spiritual arrow struck suddenly, and Xu, who was pressing above him, seemed to instinctively dodge the arrow.
"What?"
Zhiba turned around in confusion.
Not far away, I saw a human girl wearing a school uniform holding a bow made of spirit seeds and pointing an arrow in this direction.
Obviously, it was this girl who saved him.
"Oh? Quincy?"
Aizen, who was about to leave, seemed to feel the spiritual pressure coming from below, and scratched his head, with an excited smile on his face.
"It's an unplanned target, eliminate it immediately!" Dongxian was ready to take action when he saw this.
However, Bi Aizen stopped him: "Wait, let's observe and mix for a while."
below.
Even with the help of this Quincy girl, Isshin Shiba still seemed to be at a disadvantage when facing this Hollow named "White" by Tosen Kaname.
Although the girl's appearance did help him a lot, the speed of this Hollow was so fast that none of the spiritual arrows shot by the girl actually hit it accurately.
Kurosaki Masaki seems to be aware of this as well.
The god of death who was currently entangled with the Hollow seemed to be unable to hold on any longer soon, and she had no way to defeat the Hollow in front of her on her own. It seemed that she could only try other methods.
Thinking of this, Kurosaki Masaki's expression became serious.
Whoosh——
She bent her bow again, nocked an arrow, and shot the spiritual arrow towards the void in front of her.
The arrow still missed, but fortunately her purpose was not to hit, but to attract the opponent's attention.
Sure enough, the virtual creature's attention was quickly attracted to her, and it pounced towards her without hesitation.
"!! Idiot! What are you doing!?"
What's surprising is... Facing the oncoming Hollow, Kurosaki Masaki was completely defenseless.
Seeing this scene, Shiba Yishin roared in surprise.
But it's too late.
Roar--
puff--
With a roar, Xu pounced on Masaki Kurosaki without mercy, and bit her shoulder with a big mouth, as if he was ready to eat her alive.
However, this seems to be exactly what Kurosaki Masaki wants.
"Okay... I caught you."
Her forehead was covered with cold sweat due to pain, but her eyes were extremely determined.
The same goes for actions.
The spiritual bow in her hand was gathered into a pistol-like shape, she pointed it at Xu who was jumping on her, and then she continued to pull the trigger at zero distance.
Click——
With a crisp cracking sound, the mask on the virtual face shattered.
However, things don't seem to be over yet.
After the mask was broken, the place where the virtual body was hit began to expand continuously.
"!!"
Seeing this, Shiba Isshin's pupils shrank sharply. He knew that this was a sign of self-destruction. So he rushed over mercilessly and pushed the Hollow who fell on Masaki Kurosaki away and pinned him to the ground, using himself as a barrier to block Kurosaki Masaki and Masaki Kurosaki.
This is the position between the void.
boom--
Smoke from the explosion rose into the sky.
"Self-destruction... how is it possible?"
Seeing that the experimental subject would choose the attack method of self-destruction, Tosen Kaname next to Aizen was full of surprise.
"Haha... Do you know that you are hopeless, so you are dragging people into the water?" Ichimaru Gin joked, "There are obviously no settings, but this guy seems to be a monster born entirely for fighting."
The smoke from the explosion below quickly dissipated.
"!!"
"Are you okay!?"
Kurosaki Masaki quickly stepped forward to check on the man who was trying to resist the blow directly with his body, with a look of worry on his face.
Due to her lack of combat experience, she was completely unaware that the other party was about to choose to self-destruct. If she had been aware, there would be no need for this man to protect herself in this way.
Therefore, she couldn't help but feel guilty.
Fortunately, Shiba Isshin's vitality seems to be extremely tenacious.
"Ahem...it hurts..."
Shiba Yishin lay on the ground and sighed helplessly. This battle was indeed won, but it was a miserable victory at the expense of two team members.
Moreover, he himself was seriously injured. If this girl hadn't come to help him, he might have been in trouble.
"I'm sorry, I was saved... It's really embarrassing... As a captain, I still need a girl to rescue me."
"No... I was the one who was rescued..." Masaki Kurosaki seemed to still be blaming himself, "If it weren't for protecting me, you wouldn't have gotten more injured..."
"Ahaha..." Isshin Shiba smiled awkwardly, "To each other, didn't you get hurt trying to save me? Then let's just settle it! How about that?"
"..."
Masaki Kurosaki felt a little complicated when he saw that the man in front of him could still laugh under such circumstances, and the most important thing was... he was a god of death, but he could communicate like this with himself as a Quincy.
"Don't move, I'll treat you..."
"Ah... it hurts! But thank you!" Shiba Isshin chuckled, "Speaking of which, you actually used that method to lure Xu into taking the bait and defeated it. How courageous! Who are you, Miss?"
"..."
Hearing this, Kurosaki Masaki fell silent.
She hesitated whether to tell the man in front of her.
After all, the other party can communicate with me normally at this moment, probably because he doesn't know that he is a Quincy.
Quincy and Death... have always been mortal enemies.
If you know the truth, maybe tensions will rise soon, right?
"What should I do? How should I answer?
What will happen to the God of Death once he finds out that I am a Quincy?"
While thinking this, and looking at the sincere smile on the face of the man in front of him, Kurosaki Masaki pursed his lips slightly, seemingly deciding to take a gamble.
"My name is Masaki Kurosaki.
It's a Quincy."
"Forehead……"
Hearing this, the expression on Shiba Isshin's face froze for a while, and his eyes became surprised.
But soon the look in his eyes softened again, and instead of turning his face away as Kurosaki Masaki thought, he showed a hearty smile again.
"Really - it's a Quincy! How amazing! This is the first time I've seen a real person! Wow! I can actually see a living Quincy! It really feels like I've earned it!"
"Forehead……"
This time it was Masaki Kurosaki's turn to be stunned.
What's going on with this person?
Is this the God of Death?
Are all other Shinigami like this?
Can hatred be resolved?
It would be great if so!
In this case... Xiaolong, Auntie, and everyone...
For some reason, Kurosaki Masaki's face was filled with tears, but no one could see it because of the rain.
