Before the people in black could react, Lin Nan shouted loudly for no reason, "Ukitake!"
In everyone's astonished look, he disappeared again, leaving only an afterimage standing there. Everyone subconsciously paid attention to their own backs.
And more than ten meters away, Ukitake's firm voice sounded from the darkness:
"All the waves are my shield; all the lightnings are my blades--Sōgyo no Kotowari!"
A beam of spiritual pressure that was almost visible to the naked eye rose from the ground, illuminating the dark wilderness for a moment.
In the light, Ukitake Jushiro held two swords, facing the man in black, ready to fight.
The attention of the people in black was drawn to Ukitake again, and they were all surprised when they saw Shikai from Ukitake.
"Can you actually know Shikai? Or is it a double sword?" The leader of the men in black was a little surprised. He always thought that Ukitake hiding in the dark was just an ordinary college student who was unable to fight. As a result, the other party was actually able to liberate Zanpakuto?
Could it be another Seated Officer-level student?
In the midst of lightning and flint, a shout came from above everyone's heads, "Ukitake, get ready!"
Lin Nan's figure soared into the air, and the man in black appeared directly above him. He put away Asauchi, stood his left hand in front of him, and aimed his palm at the target in a circle below:
"Scattered animal bones, spiers, red crystals, and steel wheels; moving is the wind, stopping is the air, the sound of spears hitting each other fills the virtual city--Hadō #63: Raikōhō·Thunder Roar Cannon!"
The fully chanted Thunder Roar Cannon emitted golden thunder, carrying a desperate aura of destruction as it shot down through the air and headed straight for the dazed men in black below.
The leader of the men in black was the first to react and shouted, "Defense!"
The other men in black reacted immediately, and in an instant, twelve various defenses Bakudō blocked the sky above them.
There was a loud noise and violent fire swept around, engulfing the tree crown not far away. Although the fully chanted Thunder Roar Cannon was extremely destructive, under the joint defense of twelve Bakudō, it still failed to cause any harm to the people below.
Although the people in black were shocked by Lin Nan's Kido talent and combat awareness, they could not help but feel a little proud at this moment.
Even though this white-haired college student is a genius, but limited by his spiritual pressure, this fully chanted No. 63 Hadō is his limit.
But the light and aftermath from the explosion above had not dissipated yet, and the people in black noticed another equally dazzling golden light from the corners of their eyes:
Another golden thunderbolt with exactly the same power as before shot out at an almost horizontal angle, and the aura of destruction was about to engulf the nearest person!
In mid-air, Lin Nan's eyes were as cold as the moonlight. "Double-shot Thunder Roar Cannon!"
Lin Nan used the fully chanted dual-shot Kido. The one that shot directly at the man in black was just a deception. The real target he was aiming at was actually Ukitake in the distance.
The second Thunder Roar Cannon, which is enhanced and absorbed by Ukitake's Sōgyo no Kotowari and bounces out, is the real killer move!
At this time, the people in black had no time to use Bakudō for the second time.
The Thunder Roar Cannon, which was fused with the spiritual pressure of two people, caused an explosion that illuminated the entire Stronghold No. 39. A huge fireball rose into the sky, and a monstrous fire swept up.
Lin Nan's figure turned lightly in mid-air, avoiding the rising fireball, and landed steadily.
"Did we win?" Ukitake walked over from a distance, panting.
"How are you?" Lin Nan didn't answer the question, but asked Ukitake. He already felt that Ukitake's spiritual pressure was a little unstable.
Shikai will increase the efficiency of its own spiritual pressure release, thus enhancing its attack power.
But for Ukitake, whose spiritual pressure is still weak, it is still very difficult to use Shikai for the first time.
Moreover, he also deliberately used his spiritual pressure to strengthen Lin Nan's thunder cannon, which was tantamount to an overdraft. At this moment, the spiritual pressure could no longer be maintained, so he had to withdraw Shikai.
Ukitake coughed a few times and shook his head. "It doesn't matter... we won, right?"
Lin Nan looked at the place where the man in black stood just now, and there was already smoke everywhere. "That should be so. They had no chance to defend against the move just now, so they had to force it. Even if they didn't die, they would have lost their combat effectiveness."
Ukitake took a breath and put Asauchi back into the scabbard. "Then shall we rush to the next stronghold immediately or..."
A handful of Asauchi suddenly passed through the black smoke and flew straight to Ukitake's chest!
Lin Nan, with quick eyes and quick hands, pulled Ukitake aside and already swung out Asauchi with his right hand.
"Bang!" There was a crisp sound, and the flying Asauchi was stopped by Lin Nan. It spun several times in mid-air and was stuck straight on the ground.
"I didn't expect that you really had a moment..." The voice of the leader of the men in black came out from the thick smoke.
Several figures covered in blood and smoke stood up from the ground, kicked away the bloody bodies of their companions, and walked out of the scope of the explosion.
At the first moment of the explosion, these six people chose to use their companions to block themselves in front of them and escaped the impact of the fatal explosion. Although their injuries were serious, they were at least still capable of fighting.
Ukitake frowned slightly and whispered, "I didn't expect that I could survive such an attack. It's really scary."
"You guys really have a way of using your own people as backers." Lin Nan took one look and immediately understood what had just happened, and said with a strange look on his face.
"This is our realization. Death is a normal thing." The leader of the men in black wiped a handful on his face. After mixing the blood and dust, his face looked even more ferocious.
Lin Nan ignored the other party and focused his attention on the Zanpakuto stuck on the ground in front of him.
"The khaki handle is indeed the stolen Asauchi. Did you massacre Soul Reaper in the stronghold because your whereabouts were discovered?" Lin Nan asked coldly,
"Fourteen, seventeen, nineteen, twenty-one, thirty-nine... there are five strongholds in total. This track is your route? Where are you planning to escape to? Where are the other Asauchis hidden by you?"
The leader of the men in black laughed ferociously, "Do you think I will answer you?"
At this time, he looked intently at Lin Nan and Ukitake, who were standing side by side. Their pure white hair was particularly conspicuous in the moonlight.
"You guys..." His pupils shrank slightly, "I see, no wonder, I was really careless just now."
Lin Nan frowned. "What did you say?"
Although it was dark and he couldn't see his expression clearly, his hunch told him that the other party's reaction was very problematic.
"Haha, you have too many questions. I will tell you slowly before you die!"
The remaining six men in black raised their Zanpakuto again.
Lin Nan It's no surprise, I didn't expect the enemy to tell the truth on his own initiative. Who would tell the enemy all their trump cards during a battle?
Unless your last name is Hirako or Ōtoribashi.
"I admire you for having the nerve to speak harsh words here after we killed a dozen of you and left six defeated generals." Lin Nan gently shook Asauchi in his hand, showing a joking expression, "But here, all the Riddlers deserve to die. I'll kill a few of you first, and then find the answer myself."
Just now, he completely chanted Kido unexpectedly, reducing the opponent's number by half. The remaining six people were all injured, and the injuries were not serious.
Lin Nan made a simple calculation in his mind. Even if Ukitake cannot Shikai again now, he is not incapable of dealing with it on his own.
After all, when the disparity was fifteen to one just now, he could still defeat three people with a sneak attack. Now, could the six people on the opposite side be more difficult to deal with than fifteen people?
Without warning, a gust of wind suddenly blew.
"Soul Art·Bone Erosion!"
"Soul Art·Cherry Blossom Shadow!"
The six people chanted at the same time, and a clear wave of spiritual pressure swept around. At the same time, the Asauchi in the hands of the six people changed at the same time.
Along the blade, spiritual pressure shimmers of slightly different colors swirled up, like weak phosphorus fire, burning quietly against the blade. The hands of the men in black holding the sword were also shrouded in this phosphorus fire-like spiritual pressure shimmer.
Seeing this scene, Lin Nan and Ukitake couldn't help but look serious.
What tricks did these people use? Shikai?
No, this is not Shikai, Zanpakuto itself has not changed. What has changed is only the enemy's spiritual pressure itself.
Moreover, Lin Nan feels that the word "Soul Art" is a bit familiar. It seems that Iwamoto Raizo mentioned this word before? Now that I think about it, it is the secret technique of the rebels?
He didn't dare to be careless, he raised Asauchi lightly in his hand and stood ready:
"Ukitake Be careful. The method they used seems a bit evil."
Ukitake calmed down his panting breathing slightly, held Zanpakuto tightly with both hands, and nodded.
But before he could speak, his whole body suddenly shook. Immediately afterwards, a hole seemed to be suddenly torn open in his chest, and a column of blood spurted directly into the air!
Ukitake lowered his head in disbelief, looking at the wound on his chest and the blood that kept splattering, he felt his legs weakened, and he fell directly to the ground and lost consciousness.
At some point, a faint, hard-to-discern gray light had clung to the ground and wrapped around Ukitake's feet like a poisonous snake. The other end of the gray light was connected to the tip of Zanpakuto's knife belonging to the leader of the man in black.
And another gray shimmer spread from the tip of the knife, which was already close to the ground and wrapped around Lin Nan's right foot.
The leader of the men in black looked in the direction of the two men, his eyes full of fierceness, and he spoke in a low voice:
"Bone Erosion one type: Bloodfall!"
