Smack!
Just as the fist was about to smash into Soi Fon's head, a fair hand appeared out of nowhere beneath Wu Biao's punch. The blow, swift as lightning, landed on the hand without making it tremble in the slightest!
Even Wu Biao couldn't help but freeze at the sight. Then, instinctively, he tried to pull back!
But...
"Human boy, don't move around!" a gentle voice sounded by Wu Biao's ear, making him stop in his tracks.
Of course, he wouldn't stop moving just because a voice told him to. He stopped because... a blade glinting with cold light had appeared at his throat at some point. Its razor-sharp edge made his hair stand on end!
How was that possible?
Wu Biao's pupils contracted, and boundless shock filled his eyes. He hadn't known when the owner of that voice had appeared. He hadn't even sensed her before the Zanpakuto was laid against his neck...
How could he not be shaken... not horrified?
He turned his head slightly. A woman with narrowed eyes and a gentle smile came into view. Her braided hair fell in front of her chest, and she wore a spotless Captain's Haori!
Clearly, she was another Shinigami of Captain rank!
"Who... are you?"
The woman's face hovered beside Wu Biao's shoulder. She met his gaze and smiled faintly. The smile was beautiful and gentle, but...
He would die!
If he dodged, he would die!
If he fought back, he would die!
Wu Biao's instincts were roaring. The overwhelming murderous intent beneath that gentle smile... made him tremble deep inside and filled his instincts with fear. It was a kind of murderous intent he had never felt before, not even from Kenpachi!
Unseen before! Unheard of!
It was hard to imagine... that this could be a woman...
