When Tenth Division and Eleventh Division arrived, Hollow Disaster had passed a day and a night, but there were still enough traces on the battlefield for people to judge the severity of the tragedy. According to Reiatsu's perception, the two squads followed the traces of the battle and tracked the core virtual group.
As we get closer to the core group of voids, occasionally voids will rush towards us from behind the ruins.
Eleventh Division's Squad Members didn't wait for orders. They drew their swords, chopped, sheathed their swords, and kept walking. Their movements were clean and neat.
Soon after, they encountered a branch of the core virtual group.
Eleventh Division Lieutenant led the assault team at the front. He was a tall, middle-aged Soul Reaper. Eleventh Division's Squad Member followed him and poured into the virtual group like a tide.
Tenth Division is responsible for the flanks. Their fighting style is different from Eleventh Division. They do not pursue killing speed. What they pursue is to prevent a virtual one from flanking them. The ten Squad Members move, change positions, and fill positions.
The cooperation between the two squads was not a tacit understanding. After all, they rarely fought together, but they did their best within their respective functions: Eleventh Division killed Xu, and Tenth Division prevented Xu from attacking from the flank.
The two captains sensed Gillian and Reiatsu almost at the same time.
The direction is due north and west, the distance is not too far, but it is not close either.
three
There was no expression on Unohana's face. She didn't wait for Ichisegawa to answer. She didn't need to explain anything to Ichisegawa, she just needed to walk in that direction.
Her speed was faster than anyone else. It was useless for Xuqun to block her. There was no roar, only the light of swords and shadows. Yachiru Unohana disappeared into the depths of Xuqun, and was eventually swallowed up by the black tide of Xuqun.
Ichisegawa stood on the ruins, watching the white streak disappear into the depths of the virtual group. He put his hand down from the hilt of the knife, turned around, and faced the virtual groups that were still coming from all directions. Eleventh Division's Squad Members, led by Lieutenant, had advanced far, and Tenth Division's flank defenses were also moving forward steadily.
"Tenth Division, move forward." Ichisegawa's voice was not loud, but every Squad Member heard it. "Don't let Eleventh Division's people turn back to meet us."
Ichisegawa He looked at the direction in which Unohana disappeared. He knew that she did not need support, but he needed to support those Squad Members who were being overwhelmed by the virtual swarm.
He pulled out Zanpakutō and shouted the liberation language
"When the rain falls into the mist, look forward to the rain Linyue."
The blade changed from an ordinary standard width to a long and slender knife. The blade was nearly half longer than before it was drawn. The color of the blade changed from silver to moon white, starting from the handle and getting lighter towards the tip. The end was almost transparent, like moonlight condensed on the blade.
Linyue
Tenth Division Captain Shiba Ichisegawa's Zanpakutō
Whichever direction appears on the battlefield that "Squad Member can't kill the virtual ones in a short time", his sword will point in that direction.
The first was a Steel-Skinned Hollow, which was nearly twice the size of an ordinary Steel-Skinned Hollow. The bone armor on its body was as thick as a city wall. Several Eleventh Division Squad Member surrounded it and chopped it several times., the blade only left a few white marks on the bone armor, Steel-Skinned Hollow slapped one Squad Member away with one claw, and that Squad Member rolled on the ground several times before stopping, covering his shoulders, unable to stand up for a while.
Water Blade is his most commonly used
Ichisegawa's knife pointed in that direction, water flowed out silently from the blade, and then turned into Water Blade and slashed out, Steel-Skinned Hollow was cut in two parts
The second one is a Carapace Hollow. This kind of virtual is characterized by strong defense and weak attack power, but its attack method is very annoying. It spits out corrosive liquid from its mouth, which will burn when it touches the skin. Several Tenth Division and Squad Member were suppressed by it behind the ruins and did not dare to show up.
Water Whip is another usage
This time Ichisegawa Shunpo reached the top of Carapace Hollow. The water condensed on the blade and grew into a Water Whip. A whip cracked Carapace Hollow's carapace. Then Ichisegawa whipped it again and successfully killed the Carapace Hollow.
The third one, the fourth one, the fifth one, Ichisegawa's knife pointed in different directions again and again, and the water flowed out from the blade again and again, killing those virtual ones that Squad Member couldn't kill in a short time.
In addition, Linyue has another use, which is masking.
A layer of light mist appeared on the surface of the blade, spreading outward from the blade. The mist was not thick, just a thin layer, but in the process of spreading, it changed something on the battlefield.
Reiatsu
Xu's perception became blurry, because Xu's perception ability relied on Reiatsu. Mist Cloud of Ichisegawa did not block his sight, but interfered with Reiatsu's perception. Within the range covered by the fog, his Reiatsu was like crushed paper, scattered into countless pieces. The tiny fragments were mixed among the hundreds of Reiatsu signals on the battlefield, and it was hard to tell which one was him. Xu was still rushing toward him, but the direction was off, not a little off, but off by a lot. The Steel-Skinned Hollow rushed past him from his right and hit a collapsed wall. The wall collapsed and dust rose. It shook its head and spun around in confusion.
Ichisegawa didn't look at it and turned to face another direction. There was an area there with a much higher virtual density than other places. Several Ordinary Hollow were besieging two injured Tenth Division. Squad Member, Squad Member are standing back to back. The knife is still in their hands, but their movements have obviously slowed down. The wounds are bleeding. Reiatsu is falling. They can't hold on for much longer. Ichisegawa's knife is pointed at that area.
The mist on the blade condensed instantly, and Water Blade silently cut into the group of virtual beings, passing through the waist of the first virtual one and slicing its body open.
One knife, two knives, three knives, four knives
Four voids fell down almost at the same time
But there are always attacks on the battlefield that are too late to dodge. An insect Void sprayed a corrosive liquid from a distance. The target was the three Squad Member who were fighting against the large Void. They did not notice the insect Void.
Ichisegawa saw it
His knife points in that direction
A wall of water rose behind them
Water-Mirror Shield
The surface of the water shield is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the sky and the chaotic scene of the surrounding battlefield. The corrosive liquid sprayed on Water-Mirror Shield without penetrating or splashing.
The four types of Water Aspects are used alternately on the battlefield, without any fixed order. Wherever the battle line needs to be opened, Water Blade will fly over; wherever the hard shell needs to be broken, Water Whip will be drawn; wherever long-range attacks need to be blocked, Water-Mirror Shield rises; wherever the virtual formation needs to be disrupted, Mist Cloud spreads. He is not fighting, he is dispatching, using his knife to regulate the water on the entire battlefield, and using that water to regulate the position of the virtual group and the safety of the Squad Members.
The Squad Members of Tenth Division gradually adapted to his rhythm. When Mist Cloud rose in a certain area, the Squad Members knew that it was a signal. The virtual ones in that area had lost their sense of direction and could take the opportunity to break in. When When Water-Mirror Shield rose behind someone, the Squad Members knew that someone was being targeted, and immediately adjusted their positions. When Water Blade flew continuously in the same direction, the Squad Members knew that there was a threat that needed to be eliminated first, and immediately focused their firepower to follow it.
The virtual swarm began to loosen up. Ichisegawa continued to use Water Aspects to support every place that needed support on the battlefield. The number of virtual swarms was decreasing. The roar of Gillian came from a distance, with some kind of anxious and uncontrollable madness.
