Twelfth Division, front.
The fighting here is much more brutal than the shouting and cursing in Noble District area.
A Gillian brought a massive virtual swarm and swept not far from the Twelfth Division team building. It opened its huge jaws, and a bit of scarlet light was condensing crazily in its mouth, distorting the surrounding space.
Cero
"Cero is coming! Get out of here!"
"It's too late! It can't be stopped!"
Twelfth Division's and Squad Member's faces were pale, and some people's legs had begun to weaken uncontrollably, and they slowly collapsed on the scorched earth.
They were originally a technical team, not a combat team. They had been fighting with the virtual group so far, and their hands were still shaking uncontrollably. The fear in their bones could not be suppressed at all. Facing this level of Menos Grande, they knew clearly that there was nothing they could do.
"Hey, that one over there! Run! That's Cero from Gillian!"
A Squad Member shouted forward at the top of his lungs.
Ahead, Isshin Shiba raised his head and looked at the condensing scarlet light spots, then lowered his head and rolled his eyes.
"Run?"
He bent down, holding the knife in both hands, with the blade standing horizontally in front of him, and spoke in an understatement.
"I have never learned this word."
After the words fell, he paused, and the blade began to move horizontally in a sharp and smooth arc. Wherever the blade passed, the air was torn, leaving a blazing blue sword mark, hanging in the air, twisting the surrounding Reishi. When the blade reached the middle of the arc, he stopped suddenly.
"Crescent Moon!"
Isshin Shiba tried his best to instill Reiatsu, and connected the remaining paths in one go.
"Tian Chong!"
The blue sword mark turned into a surging cold crescent moon, rising into the sky, carrying a sharp whistling sound, and headed straight for Gillian, which was still condensing Cero!
Isshin Shiba originally wanted to interrupt Cero before it was completed, but Gillian still completed Cero's condensation and launch. Two destructive forces collided in mid-air, and the scarlet Cero was cut in half with a knife from the middle.
The two forces collided in mid-air, erupting with an ear-splitting noise. The scarlet Cero was cut in the middle by the blue crescent moon, split into two pieces, and collapsed to both sides.
But the blue crescent moon in the center is also gradually struggling in the head-on collision with Cero, and there are faint signs of being completely swallowed.
At this moment, a golden stream of light came from a very far distance.
Without any warning or any pause, it hit Gillian's huge head directly.
The mountain-like head exploded violently in an instant, and Cero was interrupted instantly. The golden figure, Shunpo, had already left the place. The blue crescent moon, which had lost control of Cero, moved forward and cut the huge Gillian body cleanly in two.
Gillian's body collapsed suddenly, and the moment it hit the ground, it turned into Reishi that spread all over the sky and dissipated in the wind.
Yoruichi Shihōin.
Her whole body was wrapped with hot golden lightning, Shunkō was fully opened, her toes landed lightly on a broken stone pillar, she turned her head, and raised her right hand to Isshin Shiba casually.
"Hey, little Isshin, I'm here to save you."
Isshin Shiba curled his lips and put the knife on his shoulder.
"Miss Yoruichi, you came here just in time. I almost killed Gillian himself."
"Huh? Really?" Yoruichi raised his eyebrows and spoke in a light tone, but his eyes had already moved away and fell on the pale yellow light pillar still hanging high above the battlefield.
Her eyes suddenly darkened.
"Negación"
"Look, what's over there!" A Squad Member of Twelfth Division pointed in one direction. A large number of Squad Member's eyes were attracted to the Squad Member who were not involved in the battle. They saw a yellow light beam shooting out from a Garganta.
When Negación took off, the entire Seireitei was visible.
The light yellow beam of light rose from the center of the battlefield and shot straight into the sky, like a nail piercing the sky.
Countless Squad Member who were fighting almost instinctively raised their heads and looked at the gradually dissipating light.
"What is that..."
A Fourth Division Squad Member who was carrying the wounded stopped, looked up at the beam of light, and almost slipped the bandage roll in his hand.
The Seated Officer beside him also stopped moving, and the expression on his face changed from tiredness to confusion, and then from confusion to an indescribable solemnity. The Reiatsu emitted by the light beam was not violent, but its texture was so ancient that everyone who perceived it instinctively felt a chill from the depths of their souls.
"Negación... that's Negación!"
A senior Eighth Division Seated Officer suddenly spoke up, his voice trembling with disbelief. "Menos Grande is used to rescue the same kind of light. Once deployed, no attack can penetrate it."
"It... it's retreating? That monster is running away?"
"Otherwise? Commander-in-Chief has already taken action. If it doesn't run away, is it waiting to be burned to ashes?"
Through the urgent communication between Hell Butterfly and Inner Court Corps, the news spread to every corner of Seireitei in a very short period of time.
Those Squad Members who were still fighting against the virtual group, after hearing the news of Vasto Lorde's retreat, some breathed a sigh of relief, some tightened their grip on the hilt of their swords, and some just continued to swing their swords in silence. They had no time to celebrate, because the virtual group was still raging, Gillian was still the Roar, and someone fell every second on the battlefield.
Noble District zone.
Snap!
A fine celadon tea cup was hit hard on the floor tiles, breaking into several pieces, and the tea spilled far away.
"Run so fast!"
A white-haired old nobleman blushed and poked the vanished light in the sky with his trembling fingers. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking. "Dignified Vasto Lorde, you just said you're going to leave?! Aren't you going to destroy me Seireitei?! Don't run away if you have the guts!"
"That's right! The weak is the weak, bully the weak and fear the strong!"
"Commander-in-Chief ran away with his tail between his legs as soon as he took action!"
For a time, the Noble District area was filled with curses, one wave after another.
Those hurried expressions of crying for their fathers and mothers, and those embarrassed figures running around with their heads in their hands seemed to have never happened at this moment. Everyone straightened their backs and cursed at the top of their lungs, as if the louder the curses, the dignity and integrity that had been lost before could be regained bit by bit.
The door of someone's mansion is still crooked, with three deep claw marks on the door panel, and the wood on the edges of the claw marks is charred and rolled; most of the courtyard wall of someone has collapsed, and the corpses of several servants are buried in the rubble before they can be buried; the tea set in someone's reception room is shattered on the floor, the window paper is riddled with holes in the window paper from the hollow roar, and the wind pours in through the holes and rolls up the mess all over the floor.
However, those collapsed pillars, broken courtyard walls, and the wet blood stains on the floor tiles cannot lie.
