The opening in attack lasted only a moment
The speed of condensation is faster than before, allowing the new herd to take shape again in just a few breaths.
The offensive resumed, and it was more fierce than before. It was not only an increase in quantity, but also in quality.
Death-Omen Bird's body size has obviously increased, and its wingspan has expanded from five meters to nearly seven meters. The sharp edges on the edge of the wing membrane glow with a cold white light in the twilight. The wind pressure caused by the dive blows the gravel on the high ground and scatters it in all directions.
Land Beast has irregular bone spurs growing on its back, extending from the cervical vertebrae to the tail vertebrae. The tips of the bone spurs are also sharp. When they run, they will deliberately lower their bodies and use the bone spurs on their backs to collide with any targets in front of them.
Saito still attracts most of the Reishi creatures, and her Bankai "Dairitsu Eighty Wrongs" will taunt and spread irregularly with Misfortune Aura
The Reishi creatures were forcibly pulled towards her by this force. Death-Omen Bird's dive trajectory was distorted, and Land Beast's charge direction was deflected. They had only one target, the female Soul Reaper holding Zanpakutō with four-armed ghosts and gods floating behind her.
She moved in a curve in the sea of beasts, Zanpakutō flying around, and every time she swung the sword, a Reishi creature was chopped into pieces.
Shuichi gave up large-scale clearing and defensive line defense, and chose a more flexible tactic.
His Reiatsu perception covers the entire surrounding area of the highlands. Wherever Sixth Division and Squad Member are suppressed, there is his presence.
His Zanpakutō slashes out red sword energy to accurately cut off those Death-Omen Bird that are about to break through the defense line; or he can use Kidō Shakkahō or Ōkasen without chanting to help Saito clear a small space where he can breathe.
His Shunpo formed an invisible net around the high ground, intercepting the Reishi creatures that leaked out of the Saito's taunting range one by one.
Sixth Division's Squad Member felt the power of this support, and the defense line began to stabilize again.
Noble Armed Forces's wounded were dragged behind the sedan, and those who could still fight took up their weapons again to fill the gaps in the defense line.
Suddenly, the attack on the left flank slowed down
It's not that Reishi creatures are decreasing, it's that someone is coming
A figure cuts into the battlefield at a speed that cannot be caught by the naked eye, so fast that his movement trajectory leaves afterimages in the air. Those afterimages are not blurry traces of light, but clear movements.
An afterimage was slashing the head of a Land Beast with a knife, and another afterimage had appeared three steps away and struck the neck of another Death-Omen Bird in the posture of Hakuda.
The disappearance of the afterimage and the death of the Reishi creature
Shihōin Qianri landed in the center of a small cleared space. He maintained a knife-drag posture, with the blade standing at his side and the tip slightly touching the ground.
"Chaotic Calamity Flames! Shiranui!"
Qianri stood in the small open space, dragging the knife, Zanpakutō followed by the words of liberation
Then Zanpakutō turned into five fireballs that surrounded Qianri and then automatically attacked the approaching Reishi creatures.
Reishi creatures attacked by fireballs will burn out quickly, and then the flames will turn back into fireballs to find the next target.
"Hey, hey, hey, it seems you need help."
Qianri's eyes swept over Saito and Shuichi
Shuichi's eyes were immediately attracted to him
The duties of Second Division Captain do not include patrols of Rukongai, nor do they include supporting non-urgent tasks of other divisions.
"Why are you here?" Shuichi asked, there was no surprise in his tone, only a kind of doubt that arose when assessing the battlefield situation.
Qianri just smiled and did not answer
His figure once again turned into countless afterimages. This time, the afterimages did not hold knives. They were all Hakuda's starting moves.
But after Hakuda was struck, the fist, palm soles and kicks were all accompanied by explosive flames. The flames exploded the moment they hit the target, engulfing Death-Omen Bird and Land Beast.
The afterimage disappeared together with the explosive flames, and the embers of the explosive flames were scattered in the air. The Reishi creatures that were hit had turned into charred remains, and then began to disintegrate into Reishi light points, returning to the Reishi atmosphere.
With the addition of Qianri
The situation on the battlefield has undergone a fundamental reversal. The generation speed of Reishi creatures has begun to fail to keep up with the killing speed of the three people.
Death-Omen Bird was crushed by the fireball when it was halfway condensed in the air. Land Beast was smashed into black coal by the explosive flames before running a few steps.
Shuichi no longer needs to keep putting out fires everywhere in the red. He has free hands to help Sixth Division rebuild the defense line and kill the scattered creatures that are lucky enough to cross the line of fire one by one.
In this way, the generation speed and the killing speed are not directly proportional.
On the high ground, the Squad Members of Sixth Division have stopped killing and have begun to regroup and rest. The addition of captain Qianri has made their morale high again.
Not because Qianri is stronger than Saito or Shuichi, but because the appearance of the third captain means one thing: Seireitei will not lose this battle.
Noble Armed Forces Although there have been casualties, their faces have blood again. Some people are bandaging the wounds of their companions with the hems of their torn clothes. Some people are picking up the scattered spears and handing them back to their teammates. Some people are standing at the front of the defense line, their hands are still shaking, but their feet have not taken half a step back.
Shuichi suddenly felt something. His Reiatsu perception captured a signal that something was moving in this direction, not fast, but the texture of Reiatsu was completely different from those Reishi creatures
Qianri also felt it. He did not hesitate, crossed his hands in front of him, Reiatsu concentrated on the edge of the fist to the extreme, and then pushed hard outwards, a super explosive flame centered on him and spread in all directions. Wherever the flame passed, all Reishi creatures were instantly evaporated, and a charred black void with a radius of nearly a hundred meters appeared in the wilderness below the highland.
Shuichi did not waste this opportunity. He raised his right hand, palm forward, Reiatsu condensed. "Danku!"
A transparent Reishi barrier unfolded in front of him, blocking the direction of the thing. Almost at the same moment, a Torrent hit it.
The transparent Torrent collided with the transparent Danku and exploded on the contact surface. The entity of Torrent appeared under the obstruction of Danku.
It kept impacting, spreading, and trying to bypass the edge of the barrier on Danku. Under the continuous impact of Torrent, cracks began to appear on the surface of Danku. The cracks spread from the impact point to the surroundings, becoming denser and larger.
"Danku" Qianri's voice sounded from behind Shuichi
The second line of Danku unfolds behind the first line, with a larger range, and the Reishi is arranged more densely and has higher strength.
With a bang, Shuichi's Danku shattered
Torrent collided with Danku of Qianri and was blocked again. Danku of Qianri was thicker than Shuichi. Reishi was denser. The speed is even higher. After Torrent hits it, it no longer spreads around like before, but is firmly imprisoned on a fixed impact surface. Torrent continues, but it is still unable to break Qianri's Danku.
Shuichi has no extra time to lament that his Danku was crushed
He turned around and rejoined the battle. He rushed into the remaining Reishi creatures. The red sword energy crisscrossed and killed those Death-Omen Bird and Land Beast who had lost their charge targets one by one.
Qianri's fireballs surround him, automatically intercepting creatures that try to sneak attack from the side.
Torrent continues and Danku cannot defeat Qianri
Gradually Torrent stopped
