Torrent penetrated the remaining energy cloud, and the moon-white torrent drew a twisted arc in the twilight, heading straight for the three of them.
"Bankai! Shiranui: Flame Patrol!"
Among the five fireballs surrounding Qianri, one suddenly expanded and turned into flowing flames that adhered to his body. The other four gathered behind him and condensed into a pair of huge flame wings. The moment the wings were unfolded, heat waves swept around him. His wings fluttered slightly, and a sea of fire spurted out from under the wings, hitting Torrent head-on. The moon-white torrent collided with the sea of fire in mid-air, and a harsh scream erupted on the contact surface.
The flames and Torrent swallowed each other, canceled each other out, and eventually dissipated at the same time.
The remaining energy cloud covering its body was torn apart by the shock wave, revealing its true body. The coat condensed by Reishi on its body was in tatters and was slowly repairing itself. It could be seen that it was not feeling well.
Saito didn't give it time to breathe. She used the last flame before the sea of fire dissipated as cover, and drew a zigzag purple shadow between the remaining clouds. After the curve accelerated, she cut in from its visual blind spot Shunpo
Zanpakutō slashed out horizontally, the blade tore through the air and went straight to its neck.
It raised its arm and stabbed Saito with the outside of its arm.
The blade collided with its arm, emitting a harsh scream of metal rubbing against metal. Saito's knife was bounced away. Her wrist was slightly numb from the impact, but she did not retreat. She adjusted her posture in the air with the force of the rebound, and Reishi concentrated on the soles of her feet to stabilize her figure.
At the same moment when it blocked Saito's horizontal slash, Qianri came out of the sea of fire.
The flame wings spread out behind him, and every time they flapped, sparks spread all over the sky. An explosive punch came down from above. Before the punch came, the flame shock wave had already suppressed it, compressing the air tens of meters around it into transparent ripples visible to the naked eye. It raised its arms to block, and the flames exploded on its arms, pushing it down several meters.
Qianri did not pursue, but retreated with one strike, leaving the main attacking position back to Saito.
He and Saito took turns to attack. When Saito was attacking, Qianri was at the side using fire shock waves to contain the movement of the humanoid. When Qianri was attacking, Saito was approaching Shunpo from the side, using slashes to force it to distract, and the two men took turns covering it.
Shuichi did not join the close combat, but his attacks never stopped
"Bankai! Higan Ten·Yomi Bloom!"
The blade turned into translucent glazed crystal. With him as the center, red, blue, yellow, and white Red Spider Lily spread out layer by layer in the twilight, extending from the feet of Shuichi to the edge of the battlefield, laying out a suspended sea of flowers in the air.
Yes, the sea of flowers does not need land as a carrier. They are the sea of flowers generated by Reishi. They can also be laid in the air, and the sea of flowers produced in the air is even more magnificent.
Shuichi Lift Zanpakutō, countless red Red Spider Lily flowers in the sea light up at the same time, the petals break away from the stems and turn into golden chains in the air
Chains shot out from all directions, winding and twisting like countless golden snakes swimming in the air.
Their goal is not to restrain its whole body, but to precisely wrap around its wrists, ankles, neck, every joint, and every power point.
The moment the chain tightened, there was an imperceptible pause in its movements. Saito caught the pause and slashed across its chest with a knife; Qianri caught the pause and punched it on the shoulder. The two attacks hit it at the same moment when the chain tightened, one left and one right, sandwiching it in the middle.
Shuichi didn't stop, he raised his left hand, palm forward, Reiatsu condensed in his throat.
"The turbid heraldry is faintly revealed, the unruly and arrogant talent; the surge, denial, paralysis, and moment, hindering eternal sleep! The crawling Iron Princess, the clay doll that constantly mutilates itself, combines, rebounds, and extends to the ground, know your own powerlessness! Hado #90! Kurohitsugi!"
Kurohitsugi, chant, release
Kurohitsugi's black rectangular shape formed in the air again and again, wrapping the human figure inside again and again, and being shattered by it from the inside again and again, but it was obvious that the speed at which it shattered Kurohitsugi was getting slower and slower.
The red sword energy never stopped. Every time Shuichi swung the sword, a red sword energy came out from the blade and slashed towards the limbs, torso, and head of the humanoid.
It's starting to show flaws. It's not that its attacks are getting weaker, it's that its defense is getting slower.
But what really makes it exposed is not the physical damage, but the things brought by the chains.
Higan Ten's blue butterflies, those butterflies flying around it, landing on it, those forgotten images buried under madness are being forcibly awakened
Those voices that once prayed to it, those figures kneeling in front of it, those faces that it thought it had completely forgotten, are rising up from the depths of its consciousness.
It began to see some pictures that did not belong to this wasteland, an abandoned shrine, an old man kneeling in front of Torii to pray, a child holding wild fruits, and a woman's voice repeating the same sentence in its ears. It could not hear the content clearly, but the tone was so gentle that it made its eyes sore.
It doesn't know what these are, it doesn't even know what the feeling of "sore eyes" means, but it knows that these things are shaking it, making it unable to concentrate on fighting anymore.
Qianri's fire wings spread out in the air, and the flames burned out a field of orange-red light in the night sky. His Hakuda changed from continuous attacks to burst attacks. One punch, then another, each punch was a long-range attack with bursts of flames. Each punch should be chosen between Saito's attacks, at the moment after Shuichi's Kurohitsugi or after the chain is shattered and before it regroups, when its defense is weakest and its attention is most distracted.
Its eyes began to become clear. Instead of regaining its sanity, it was swinging violently between madness and sobriety. At this moment, it didn't know who to hate, or even who it was. It just instinctively felt that those Soul Reaper it was fighting were not "mobs" as it had always believed.
Qianri saw this opportunity. He spread out his fire wings with all his strength, and the flames burned out a field of light in the night sky, turning the entire sea of flowers into golden red.
His Hakuda changed from a burst attack to a continuous burst. One punch, then another. Each punch was wrapped in a fire shock wave, hitting it from different angles at the moment when its defense was weakest. Each punch was chosen between Saito's attacks, and Shuichi The gap between 's chains after it collapsed and before it regrouped was chosen at the moment when its consciousness was shaken and its reaction was sluggish. The flames exploded on it with increasing frequency. Each explosion made it take half a step back, and each step back caused bigger cracks in its defense rhythm.
Saito and Qianri don't need words, just one look and one movement, and they can understand each other. When Qianri's flame shock wave is suppressed from the front, Saito has already cut in from the flank, and the angle of the slash is getting more and more tricky every time. The landing point became more precise each time, and her four-arm ghost shadow flashed brighter and brighter behind her. Taunting Aura locked all its strength on it, making it unable to turn its attention to Shuichi or Qianri. It could only be forced to constantly block her slashes and be led by her rhythm.
Just when Saito forced it back with a knife and Qianri took the opportunity to distance itself and prepare for the next explosion, the three of them sensed a change at the same time.
Its Reiatsu showed unexpected fluctuations, and its body shook violently in the air.
Shuichi did not miss this sign
Kurohitsugi is released again. This time the black cuboid condenses faster than before. The arrangement path of Reishi has been opened up repeatedly by the previous releases. There is no need to rebuild all links.
Kurohitsugi sealed it inside, lasting longer than every time before. Shuichi could feel the internal impact weakening. It was not that Kurohitsugi was getting stronger, but that its power was declining. The cracks that appeared on the surface of Kurohitsugi were no longer evenly distributed spider webs, but concentrated in a few limited points. Its resistance had lost its structure, and it was just blindly bombarding with its remaining power.
I thought it would be over without any sacrifices
But soon, cracks appeared in Kurohitsugi, and the crushing process lasted longer than every time before. Shuichi saw it, Qianri saw it, and Saito also saw it. The three of them began to adjust their breath and prepare to attack again.
Kurohitsugi broken
It stood quietly in the air, and the chains on its body began to fall together with the Kurohitsugi fragments and then turned into Reishi and dissipated.
Its face looks very bad, and some black energy can be vaguely seen on its body.
Qianri took the lead in launching a new round of attacks. Fire Wings unfolded with full force. He crossed his hands in front of him. Reiatsu compressed the fist to the extreme, and then pushed outwards. A large sea of fire surged forward like a tsunami, completely engulfing its figure.
Saito moved at the same moment as the sea of fire poured out. She rushed into the sea of fire, cutting from the flank and slashing at its neck.
Shuichi's chains condense again
Triple attack, three directions
Then it raised its hand and held the Zanpakutō blade of Saito in its palm. This time, the strength prevented Saito from pulling out Zanpakutō immediately.
The translucent blue Torrent burst out from where it was holding the knife, erupting within a very short distance. Saito had no time to dodge, so she could only loosen the grip and let Torrent wash her away, using the impact to consume some of its power.
Shuichi's chains entangled it
Red sword energy and flame fists struck one after another.
It directly chooses to attack hard
Then the Zanpakutō of Saito was broken by it
