"Click—"

The sound of bones shattering sounded.

"Little devil! Take someone to escape!"

It was Ashani Renji who acted in action, even though he used the joints of the Snake Ou Wan to block the puncture of the sharp horns, the Snake Ou Wan also shattered the two joints.

"Hmph! Do you think this will block my horn?"

Ilfet snorted disdainfully, his raised head twisted suddenly, and his sharp horns instantly destroyed the broken joints and pierced towards Ashanjing Renji himself.

puff--

Ashani Renji's abdomen was instantly pierced, and blood kept gushing out along the penetrating wounds.

"Finally... let you know who killed you!?" Ilfet sneered and watched Ashani Renji's figure fall from mid-air, "Broken face NO.15 Ilfet Glens!"

···········

It seems that it is not only Amami Ai's side, but also the same is true for another battlefield where Hitsugaya Toshiro and Matsumoto Ranki are located.

Matsumoto Rankuki was knocked down to the ground at this moment, and Hitsugaya Toshiro was also wearing many colors on his body, constantly gasping for breath, as if he was struggling.

"Hmph... It turns out that the captain's Bankai is just like this..." Xiaolong mocked the young man in front of him with some disappointment, "What a pity, it seems that you are the most unfortunate one."

"Um?"

As he said that, Xiaolong turned his head in confusion and felt the aura coming from afar, some of which disappeared, some of which became stronger.

"Baste... Has Edorado been killed after Di Loy? Even that guy Ilfate has liberated his power? It's really disappointing... It seems that you are the most unfortunate one compared to your companions who have met this group of trash."

"snort……"

Faced with Takanori's disdainful words, Hitsugaya Toshiro just snorted and continued to attack.

Frost left traces in the sky with his movements, which were frozen water vapor.

clang--

The sound of swords and swords clashed, and Iynn Maru collided with the Zanpakura in Takaraku's hand again, but it still seemed to have no effect.

"It's ridiculous. Does such a weak attack seem to hurt me?"

Takanori used his disdainful force to bounce off Hitsugaya Toshiro's slash, and seemed to have not used all his strength at all. "How did you... become the captain?"

"It's not over yet."

Two figures intersected, and a calm voice sounded.

Hitsugaya Toshiro seemed to ignore Takaraku's provocation completely and just followed the steps he should do.

After Bankai, he was almost covered with frost, like an ice dragon possessed. In addition to his wings, he even had a tail condensed by ice. Whether it was the wings of frost or the tail, it was not a decoration.

call--

“!!”

Takaratsuki's attention was all on Hitsugaya Toshiro, and at this moment he felt the whistling sound coming from behind.

It was the sound of the long frost dragon tail crossing the sky.

Bang--

With a violent roar, Hitsugaya Toshiro's attack seemed to have finally worked.

Xiaolong was pulled by the dragon's tail, and the ice in the sky was filled with ice, and no one could be seen for a moment.

However, after the smoke dissipated, Xiaolong's figure still stood in the air without any damage.

He just carried the knife behind his back and blocked the unexpected attack. The only change he had before being attacked was probably that the hand holding the knife was frozen by Hitsugaya Toshiro's spiritual power.

However, this level of freezing is not even control for him.

"Click—"

Xiaolong stretched out his fingers holding the knife slightly, and the ice attached to it broke almost without any resistance. "Well... I even used my tail, what a pity... It seems like you have no choice but to do anything?"

As he said that, his eyes moved toward Hitsugaya Toshiro's head, where the frost flower was suspended from the start of Bankai.

Click—

Another shattered sound of rupture sounded, and a petal shattered.

“The number of petals is starting to decrease.”

Xiaolong murmured. He had been paying attention to this flower since he was fighting just now. "I think... the flower floating behind you... should be counting down, right?"

"What?" Hitsugaya Toshiro asked with a frown slightly.

"I mean...this is the countdown until your Bankai state ends, right?"

Kolong said confidently, as if he had seen through Hitsugaya Toshiro's Bankai. "It's probably a miracle to be able to master Bankai at your age? It's too tender. If I guess correctly... Your Bankai is probably not fully completed yet, right? Because the spiritual power required for Bankai is too huge, even if you are a captain-level person, it is difficult to maintain the Bankai state for too long. For your unfinished Bankai, this is even more obvious. As time goes by, the petals of the flower will wither one after another... When it is completely withered, it is time for your Bankai to be lifted!"

“…”

Hitsugaya Toshiro listened to the other party's speculation silently, and the expression on his face did not change much, neither admitting nor refuting.

This seemed to make Xiaolong more sure that he must have made the decision, so he said with some disappointment: "There were twelve petals, but now there are only three left. Although it will be easy to deal with you after Bankai is lifted, it will be too rude... Although you did disappoint me, I still have to do the etiquette you deserve... Let me completely defeat you at least when you are still maintaining Bankai! Use my...the strongest power."

"Truncate him! Five insects!"

As he spoke, a huge spiritual power surged out from the Zanpakura in Koulong's hand. The almost strong and substantial spiritual power instantly forced Hitsugaya Toshiro, who was suspended not far from the air, and his vision was also blocked.

When the spiritual power fluctuation subsided, Xiaolong had already returned to the blade. The knife in his hand had turned into an insect-like outer armor covering his upper body. The braids scattered behind him were also wrapped in hard steel skin and turned into a sharp scissors-worm tail. His arms and fingers became narrow and ferocious, and the bone-like blade looked enough to cut off everything.

Looking at the posture that the other party suddenly showed, Hitsugaya Toshiro's pupils shrank and his body subconsciously retreated.

However, it seems to be one step late.

Xiaolong, who was behind the sword, was extremely fast and came to him in an instant and raised his hand in his somewhat surprised gaze.

The claws slowly drew down like slow motion, but in fact the speed was faster than Hitsugaya Toshiro's physical reaction.

"Remember my name...NO.11, Xiaolong Kufang...is the one who killed you."

puff--

Blood bloomed in the air, and five hideous traces appeared on Hitsugaya Toshiro's chest. Fortunately, the ice wings unfolded behind him dragged him back and moved him back slightly. Otherwise, this claw might have completely cut his entire body.

"Hmph, it's useless. In the face of absolute strength, any struggle is in vain."

Seeing that Hitsugaya Toshiro barely dodged the fatal blow, Takaraki raised his claws again without any haste.

But this time I still failed to hit it.

Hitsugaya Toshiro had already reacted from the unprecedented state of Guibing that Takaraku showed. After knowing the gap, he immediately determined that the other party's posture was definitely not something he could face in his current state, so he retreated without hesitation.

Takanori, who did not pursue his full strength, obviously did not expect Hitsugaya Toshiro to retreat so decisively, and his speed was slower after all. The sharp claws in his hand only cut off the ice wings guarding Hitsugaya Toshiro.

"Do you still have to struggle..."

Takaratsu was not in a hurry, looking at Hitsugaya Tomoshiro who had been a distance and laughed, "Or do you think you still have the possibility of winning? Should you say you are worthy of being the captain... Even in the face of such a huge gap in strength, you still haven't given up. Such fighting spirit is really great! Really!"

"Xiaolong Kufang, right?"

Hitsugaya Toshiro suddenly spoke.

This was probably the first time he communicated with the other party after the war started, "I have something I want to ask you."

"Oh? After all, you are dying, so I will satisfy your wish. What's the problem? Ask." Xiaolong had a faint smile on his face. His powerful strength made him extremely confident and calm.

"You claim to be a breaking face NO.11... means that your strength ranks 11th among the breaking face?" Hitsugaya Toshiro asked his most concerned question. The breaking face in front of him is indeed very strong. Although his current state is not his full strength, if it is so difficult to deal with just the breaking face ranked 11th, even if it is difficult to deal with even the full strength, it will be difficult to deal with the breaking face that goes upwards, right?

"No...our numbers are not ranked in order of strength, but in order of birth."

However, facing Hitsugaya Tomoshiro's question, Takaraku shook his head slightly and replied with a smile, "But... it's only limited to starting from me."

"!?" Hitsugaya Toshiro frowned slightly, "What does it mean?"

"Anyway, you're going to die, so I'll make it clearer..." Xiaolong smiled helplessly, "Give numbers below No. 11 in the order of birth, and the particularly outstanding killers will be promoted, and numbers from 1 to 10 in the order of strength and weakness. The ten selected people are called "Ten Blades". There are numbers given somewhere on them, and they have the full strength to control our broken faces below No. 11..."

"In other words... are the top ten broken faces really better than you?" Hitsugaya Toshiro seemed to understand.

"No...not just strong...it should be said to be completely different levels." Xiaolong shook his head with regret, "I'll just say it more clearly... If a guy like you who even fights us so hard to meet us is one of the strongest combat powers in the corpse soul world, then you can't be their opponent at all. Oh...right... what I said before seems to be a bit wrong. You should not be the most unfortunate among you, because among the people who come to this world with us, there is an existence belonging to the "Ten Blades". The sixth "Ten Blades", Grimjo Jakajak. The person who ran into him was probably the most unlucky one."

“…”

Hitsugaya Toshiro's pupils shrank violently when he heard this.

The sixth "Ten Blades", according to the guy in front of you, even the tenth "Ten Blades" should be more than one or a little stronger than it. Then the sixth "Ten Blades" should be the stronger combat power among the tenth "Ten Blades". It is hard to imagine how terrifying it is.

If such a guy is really in the world at this moment, wouldn’t they all be finished?

···········

However, in fact, things were not as bad as Hitsugaya Toshiro imagined.

Just like at this moment, Ichigo Kurosaki faced Grimmjo, who was the sixth "Ten Blade", he was not instantly killed.

Because Grimmjoy's personality is like this, he is naturally warlike, and he can't be interested in the guy who is too weak.

The sword light kept flashing, and the clanging sound was endless.

Kurosaki Ichigo's slashes again and again failed to even move Grimmjo's foot one step.
