It was Abarai Renji who took action, even though he used the joints of Shebimaru to block the piercing of the sharp horn, but Shebimaru also had two joints broken.
"Hmph! Do you think this can block my corner?"
Ilfert snorted disdainfully, raised his head and twisted suddenly, the sharp horn instantly destroyed all the broken joints, and pierced towards Renji Abarai himself.
puff--
Renji Abarai's abdomen was instantly pierced, and blood continued to gush out from the punctured wound.
"Finally... let me let you know who killed you!?" Ilvert sneered as he watched Abarai Renji's figure fall from the air, "Arrancar No. 15 Ilvert
·Granz!"
············
It seems that Renji Abarai is not the only one who is in crisis, but also the other battlefield where Toshiro Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto are.
Matsumoto Rangiku had been knocked to the ground at this moment, and Hitsugaya Toshiro was also panting heavily with many wounds on his body, and seemed to be struggling.
"Hmph...it turns out that the captain's swastika is nothing more than this..." Xiaolong laughed at the young man in front of him with some disappointment, "What a pity. It seems that you are the unluckiest one."
"Um?"
As he said that, Xiaolong turned his head with some doubts and felt the breath coming from the distance. Some of them disappeared, and some of them got stronger.
"Waste... Has Eldorado been killed after Dee Roy? Even that guy Ilfert actually released his power? It's really disappointing... It seems like you are the same as those who met this group of losers.
Compared with my companions, you are really the unluckiest one."
"snort……"
Faced with Takayū'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 clashing sounded, and the Zanpakutos in Hyōrinmaru and Takaryū's hands collided again, but it still seemed to have no effect.
"It's really ridiculous. Does such a weak attack hurt me?"
Takayū used his disdainful hand to deflect Hitsugaya Toushiro's slash, seemingly without using all his strength, "How on earth did you become the captain?"
"It's not over yet."
Two figures passed each other and a calm voice sounded.
Hitsugaya Toshiro seemed to completely ignore Takayū's provocation and just carried out the steps he had to do step by step.
After being liberated from the swastika, almost his entire body was covered in frost, as if possessed by an ice dragon. In addition to his wings, he even had a tail condensed with ice. Neither the frost wings nor the tail were decorations.
call--
"!!"
Takayū's attention was all on Hitsugaya Toshiro, and only at this moment did he feel the whistling sound coming from behind.
That was the sound of the long frost dragon's tail streaking across the sky.
boom--
With a violent roar, Hitsugaya Toshiro's attack seemed to have finally worked.
Xiaolong was hit by the dragon's tail, and the sky was filled with ice, and no one could be seen for a while.
However, after the smoke dissipated, Xiaolong's figure still stood in mid-air unscathed.
He just put the sword behind his back to block the unexpected blow. The only change from before the attack was probably that the hand holding the sword was frozen under the influence of Hitsugaya Toushiro's spiritual power.
But this level of freezing is not even control for him.
"Click——"
Xiaolong slightly stretched the fingers holding the knife, and the ice attached to it shattered with almost no resistance, "Well... it's a pity that you even used your tail... It seems like you are at your wits' end?"
As he spoke, his eyes moved to the top of Hitsugaya Toshiro's head, where the frost flower was suspended from the moment the swastika was activated.
Click——
There was another small cracking sound, and a petal shattered.
"The number of petals is starting to decrease."
Xiaolong murmured, he had been paying attention to this flower since the battle just now, "I think... the flower floating behind you... should be a countdown, right?"
"What?" Hitsugaya Toshiro asked with a slight frown.
"I mean...this is the countdown until your swastika state ends, right?"
Xiaolong said confidently, as if he thought he had seen through Hitsugaya Toshiro's swastika, "It's probably a miracle that you can master swastika at your age, right? You're really too young, if I'm not wrong.
...Isn't it that your current swastika has not been completely completed? Because the spiritual power required for swastika is too huge, even a captain-level person cannot maintain the state of swastika for too long, and with your level of swastika
This is even more obvious for the unfinished swastika. As time goes by, the petals of that flower will wither piece by piece... When they completely wither, that's when your swastika is lifted!"
"..."
Hitsugaya Toshiro listened silently to the other party's speculation, the expression on his face did not change much, he neither admitted nor refuted.
This seemed to make Xiaolong more certain that he must be right, so he said with some disappointment: "There were originally twelve petals, but now there are only three left. Although it will be very difficult to deal with you after the swastika is lifted.
It's easy, but that's too rude... Although you did disappoint me, I still have to perform the due etiquette... Just let me completely defeat you at least while you still maintain your swastika.
Go ahead! Use my... strongest power."
"Intercept him! Five-chamber bug!"
As he spoke, huge spiritual power surged out from the Zanpakutō in Takayū's hand. The spiritual power, which was almost rich enough to be substantial, instantly forced Hitsugaya Toshiro, who was suspended in mid-air not far away, back, and his sight was also obscured.
When the fluctuations in spiritual power subsided, Xiaolong had returned to the sword. The knife in his hand had turned into an insect-like outer skin armor covering his upper body. The braids hanging behind his back were also wrapped in hard steel and turned into sharp blades.
The Scissor Worm's tail, arms and fingers became long, narrow and ferocious, and the sharp bone blade looked strong enough to cut off everything.
Seeing the sudden gesture shown by the other party, Hitsugaya Toshiro's pupils shrank sharply and his body subconsciously retreated.
However, it seems it is still a step too late.
Xiaolong, who returned to the sword, was very fast. He was in front of him in an instant and raised his hand in his somewhat surprised eyes.
The sharp claws drew down slowly as if in slow motion, but in fact the speed was so fast that it exceeded Hitsugaya Toshiro's physical reaction.
"Remember my name...NO.11, Xiaolong Kufang...is the one who killed you."
puff--
Blood bloomed in mid-air, and five ferocious marks appeared on Hitsugaya Toshiro's chest. Fortunately, the ice wings spread out behind him dragged him backwards in a small translation. Otherwise, this claw might be able to kill him.
The entire body is completely cut open.
"Hmph, it's useless. In the face of absolute strength, any struggle is in vain."
Takaryu saw Hitsugaya Toshiro barely dodging the fatal blow, and he raised his sharp claw again without any haste.
But this time he still failed to hit.
Hitsugaya Toshiro has already reacted to the unprecedented return state of Takaryu. After knowing the gap, he immediately judged that the opponent's posture was definitely not something he could face head-on in his current state, so
Retreat without hesitation.
Xiaolong, who did not pursue with all his strength, obviously did not expect Toshiro Hitsugaya to retreat so decisively. After all, his speed was a little slower. The sharp claws in his hands only chopped into pieces the pair of people guarding Toshiro Hitsugaya.
Ice Wings.
"Are you still struggling..."
Xiaolong was not in a hurry. He looked at Toshiro Hitsugaya who had pulled some distance away and chuckled, "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?
, still didn’t give up. Such fighting spirit is awesome! 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 to ask you."
"Oh? After all, you are also about to die, so I will fulfill your wish. Any questions? Ask." Xiaolong had a faint smile on his face, and his strong strength made him extremely confident and calm.
"You call yourself the No. 11 Arrancar...does that mean your strength ranks eleventh among the Arrancars?" Hitsugaya Toshiro asked the question he was most concerned about. The Arrancar in front of him is indeed very strong, although the current one
His condition is not at his full strength, but if the eleventh-ranked Arrancar is so difficult to deal with, even if he puts out all his strength, it will be difficult to deal with the Arrancar that is higher up, right?
"No...our numbers are not ranked in order of strength, but in the order of birth."
However, when faced with Hitsugaya Toshiro's question, Takayū shook his head slightly and answered with a smile, "But... only starting from me."
"!?" Hitsugaya Toshiro frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
"You are going to die anyway, so let me make it more clear..." Xiaolong smiled helplessly, "We will give numbers below the eleventh in the order of birth, and the particularly outstanding killers among them will be promoted.
Then numbers from 1 to 10 are given in order of strength. The ten selected people are called the 'Ten Blades'. There are numbers assigned to them somewhere on their bodies. They have the power to control us NO.11
The full power of the following Arrancar..."
"That is to say...are the top ten Arrancars really stronger than you?" Hitsugaya Toshiro seemed to understand.
"No...not just strong...it should be said to be a completely different level." Xiaolong shook his head with regret, "Let me put it more clearly...people like you have such a hard time even meeting us.
If guys of that level are one of the strongest combat powers in Soul Society, then you can't possibly be their opponent. Oh... By the way... What I said before seems to be a bit wrong. You should not be the unluckiest among you.
Yes, because among the people who came to this world with us, there is one who belongs to the 'Ten Blades'. The sixth 'Ten Blades', Grimmjow Jakarjak. The person who bumps into him is probably the most unlucky.
of."
"..."
Hitsugaya Toshiro's pupils shrank sharply when he heard this.
The sixth 'Ten Blades', according to the guy in front of me, even the tenth 'Ten Blades' should be more than a star and a half stronger than it, so the sixth 'Ten Blades' should be the one with the strongest combat power among the Ten Blades.
It's so strong, it's hard to imagine how terrifying it is.
If a guy like that is really alive right now, wouldn't they all be doomed?
············
However, in fact, things were not as bad as Toshiro Hitsugaya imagined.
Just like at this moment, even though Ichigo Kurosaki was facing Grimmjow, the sixth 'Ten Blades', he was not killed instantly.
Because Grimmjow's character is like this, he is warlike by nature, and he has no interest in guys who are too weak.
The light of the sword flashed continuously, and the clanging sound was endless.
Kurosaki Ichigo's slashes again and again could not even make Grimmjow move a step.
He stood there with one hand in his pocket, and raised the other hand to block Kurosaki Ichigo's slash with his bare hands. From the look on his face, it could be seen that he was not interested in winning at this moment.
"clang--"
There was another crisp clang, and Kurosaki Ichigo and his men were completely bounced away.
Grimmjow seemed to have finally lost his patience and asked: "Hey...you look down on me too much, God of Death. With you acting like this, I can't even get the interest to kill you. Before I use my full strength,
Use your swastika quickly!"
As he spoke, the expression on Grimmjow's face became excited, "Otherwise you will be like the Death God lying in the narrator's body, with a big hole in your body!"
"hateful!"
The expression on Kurosaki Ichigo's face became angry when faced with such provocation.
This guy knocked Lucia to the ground in one glance, and could take his continuous attacks so lightly. His strength was terrifying.
Although I am a little reluctant, it seems that only using Swastika will have a chance of winning.
So, he raised Zangetsu in his hand, and the spiritual pressure on his body began to rise continuously.
"卍·solution!"
"Ah? Is this it?"
Feeling the increased spiritual pressure on the yellow-haired boy in front of him, Gridome's tone was a little disappointed, and it seemed that he still lacked any interest.
············
"Tsk..."
Hitsugaya Toshiro's face looked extremely ugly at this moment.
Now is not the time to worry about an enemy you haven't even seen yet, you must first solve the dilemma in front of you.
"It's not healed yet...it's too slow..."
Thinking like this, Hitsugaya Toshiro's eyes couldn't help but move down, looking at Matsumoto Rangiku who was lying on the ground.
The communicator is on Matsumoto Rangiku, and he can't get any news from Soul Society at all. He doesn't know what the situation is, and... can he use his full strength now?
That's right, except for Kurosaki Ichigo, all the 'Death Gods' who came to this world are not fighting with all their strength at this moment. In order not to affect their souls in this world, they will seal part of their spiritual pressure before they come to this world.
This is not just because of the rules of Soul Society. Their mission is not to destroy. The reason why they choose to become 'Death Gods' is to protect something. No matter when, they cannot forget what they are protecting, and they cannot
Forget about your responsibilities as a 'god of death'!
