Near Soul Society, Seireitei, Ninth Division.
"Ah!!!"
Black covered the sky and the earth, and densely packed sharp Shade fell at a super fast speed. Roaring to the sky, Shadow waved the Zanpakutō in his hand. In the sound of "ding, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong!", two spikes penetrated the shoulders, and one spike penetrated the left waist of Shadow. The blood flowed out again, dyeing his body red again.
"Shadow-sama!"
"Ah!"
Shadow the Roar, now he couldn't hear Soi Fon's cry at all. The sharp point inserted into his body once again turned into tangible but insubstantial Shade, tightly wrapping his body. Reiatsu spurted out again, breaking through the restraint at the moment of contact. With a wild roar, Shadow rushed forward with the knife.
He knew that after fighting for so long with a seriously injured body, he had really reached his limit, both physically and mentally. If it weren't for the strong willpower of a beast supporting him, he would have collapsed long ago.
However, before falling down, Shadow had only one purpose, which was to defeat the guy in front of him.
Just like what he warned Kenpachi Zaraki before, as long as the will does not fail and the heart is still beating, the knife will never rust. The existence of the knife itself is for killing and being killed. It is the most cruel weapon in the world!
Waving the Zanpakutō in your hand, you have no regard for your own body. When fighting, you must have an evenly matched opponent and be completely immersed in it. Also, you must throw life and death out of your mind and ignore some attacks. Only in this way can you enjoy the fun of fighting and the thrill of fighting.
When was the last time that I had such a feeling? Shadow suddenly remembered that it was the battle with Sakumo Hatake in his previous life. It was the battle closest to death and the most selfless one. Similarly, it was also the time when he could best experience the extreme pleasure. The most satisfying time was also the one he missed the most, because since Sakumo Hatake died, no one could force him to this point. Not even Might Guy, a cultivator, nor the man who claimed to be a god who was his opponent could make him do this.
However, when I think of Sakumo Hatake, I think of Might Guy, I think of Pain, and Shadow who raised his knife to block, my mind is suddenly in a trance, and those scenes that have long been forgotten in the depths of my memory reappear.
"You bastard!"
Discovering Shadow's trance, Eroding Wolf roared, his scarlet eyes became more angry than ever before, and he slashed hard with the black Shade with a knife in one hand.
"Clang!"
It was like the sound of the blades hitting each other. The knife in Shadow's hand seemed to have eyes. It came forward at an incredible angle. Its power suddenly doubled. Not only that, it was like it was reborn. As if his bones had changed, as if he had returned to his peak, Zanpakutō scattered Shade, and then struck at Eroding Wolf with lightning speed.
"Stab it!"
The blade cut down, leaving a deep scar on the shoulder, and the blood dyed Eroding Wolf's black tights red.
"Damn it!"
Roaring, Eroding Wolf said the Roar, and the Shade that were scattered suddenly gathered in front of him at an extremely fast speed. The deep black seemed to absorb all the light. It was launched again at a faster speed. It was obviously the same attack method as the last time. However, visible to the naked eye, both the strength and speed were at least doubled. The space seemed to be affected, trembling and shattering...
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Holding Zanpakutō with both hands, Shadow roared wildly. Fang Path was the strongest and last move. Blade Severance launched it with all his strength. He rushed forward suddenly and faced Eroding Wolf without avoiding it. The fierce attack of and Reiatsu collided, and the explosive force swept across all directions, destroying everything more than fifty meters away in an instant, and the place where they intersected was blasted with a hole more than twenty meters deep, and smoke and dust enveloped the sky.
"Shadow-sama!"
Soi Fon yelled sternly, and the figure from Shunpo jumped into the deep pit filled with smoke and dust.
"Luo······Luoshan!"
Opening his mouth, Eroding Wolf looked in the direction of the pit. The anger in his eyes disappeared instantly. He raised his trembling hands, unable to believe that the attack just now came from these hands.
Even though I had said it countless times in my heart before, if it really couldn't be changed, then the only option would be to kill him, but when all this happened, Eroding Wolf's mind was filled with confusion.
His plan was originally well executed and had successfully aroused Shadow's fighting instinct. However, Soi Fon came and Eroding Wolf didn't want anyone to disturb Shadow, he wanted to kill Soi Fon, but Shadow's move completely angered Eroding Wolf, King, the aloof king does not need emotions, the beast just needs to be loyal to fight, right?
Eroding Wolf has always thought this way, so for Shadow's behavior, he only felt that his anger was rising, so...
Why, Eroding Wolf doesn't know. The attack just now was a blow with all his strength. Will Shadow, who was hit from the front and seriously injured, survive such an attack? Eroding Wolf also doesn't know.
Before the smoke and dust in the sky had completely dissipated, a figure jumped out from the deep pit, it was Soi Fon. In her arms, Shadow, whose whole body was stained red with blood, could no longer recognize his original appearance. His eyes were closed, and the slight rise and fall of his chest still proved the fact that he was still alive for the time being.
"Luoshan!"
Eroding Wolf was stunned for a moment, a faint joy flashed through his scarlet eyes, and he quickly ran over.
"You guy... don't come here!"
Holding the man in his arms tightly with one hand, he pulled out Zanpakutō with the other hand and raised it in front of him. Soi Fon looked at Eroding Wolf coldly, with that hateful look. If looks could kill, Eroding Wolf would have died countless times. But, unfortunately, this is impossible.
"Put him down!" Scarlet eyes narrowed dangerously, Eroding Wolf stood in front of Soi Fon and snorted coldly.
"..." Grinding his teeth, Soi Fon also said in a cold voice without showing any weakness; "If you want to kill Mr. Shadow, just kill me first, otherwise, you can never even think about it..."
"Tch!" he raised his lips with disdain, and Eroding Wolf said mockingly, "Do you think you can stop me!"
"How will you know if you don't try!"
Even so, Soi Fon knew very well that she was definitely no match for the man in front of her. She could not leave Shadow and run away alone. So, she had to try her best to delay time, hoping that Yoruichi Shihōin and others could arrive quickly. Other than that, there was no other way.
"Why!" After a while of silence, Eroding Wolf stared at Soi Fon and suddenly said, "I don't hesitate to sacrifice myself to protect him!"
"Does this need a reason?" Soi Fon gritted his teeth; "You ask why, guys like you will never understand!"
"You are looking for death!" Eroding Wolf lowered his scarlet eyes, murderous intent flashing across his face.
"You have no chance!"
Raising the corner of his mouth slightly, Soi Fon sneered. The moment he finished speaking, a sound broke through the air, and Daodao's figure instantly appeared beside him.
Yoruichi Shihōin, Jūshirō Ukitake, Shunsui Kyōraku, Retsu Unohana, Toshiro Hitsugaya, Rangiku Matsumoto, Ikkaku Madarame, Yumichika Ayase, Renji Abarai, Ōmaeda Marechiyo, Kiyone Kotetsu, Sentarō Kotsubaki and Izuru Kira who met on the way, and Nanao Ise who came to find their captain.
"Shadow!"
At a glance, he saw Shadow motionless in Soi Fon's arms. Yoruichi Shihōin quickly ran over and carefully took the man whose face could no longer be seen clearly from Soi Fon's arms.
"Captain Unohana!"
"The situation is very bad!" His face turned solemn for a moment, and Retsu Unohana said in a deep voice; "The cardiopulmonary function is about to stop, and rescue must be carried out immediately. During this period, we must not be disturbed. I leave the escort to you!"
"Okay!" Jūshirō Ukitake nodded; "Captain Unohana don't worry, the rest will be left to us!"
"Although it's troublesome!" Shunsui Kyōraku pressed the bamboo hat on his head and said, "But we can't let anything happen to that guy Shadow!"
"No problem!" Ikkaku Madarame, Renji Abarai and others also said in response.
"Lady Yoruichi!" Soi Fon lowered his head; "Sorry, I didn't protect Mr. Shadow!"
"I don't blame you, Soi Fon, you've done a great job!" Yoruichi Shihōin stretched out his wheat-colored palm and gently rubbed Shadow's blood-covered face. After hearing this, he said, "Shadow doesn't need anyone to protect him. If he hears you say that, he will definitely get into trouble again!"
"·······" Soi Fon was silent, raised his head, and looked at Eroding Wolf who was standing not far away. His hand tightened on the handle of the knife, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
"That's it!"
Without even looking at Renji Abarai, Ikkaku Madarame, Yumichika Ayase, Rangiku Matsumoto, Izuru Kira, Eroding Wolf looked at Soi Fon and smiled contemptuously; "You just said there is no chance, are you referring to them!"
"Do you think you can escape!" Soi Fon gritted his teeth and was instantly angered by Eroding Wolf's expression. He said in a cold voice full of displeasure.
"Run away!" Eroding Wolf grinned wildly; "Are you kidding me? It's just you ants!"
"The tone is really unpleasant to the extreme!" Ikkaku Madarame said loudly with veins popping out; "Who do you think you are! Bastard!"
"Madarame!" Ikkaku Madarame stopped and Jūshirō Ukitake said, "Who are you?"
"..." However, Eroding Wolf seemed not to have heard what Jūshirō Ukitake said. He turned to look at Yoruichi Shihōin who was holding Shadow, and said coldly, "I'll say it one last time, give him to me!"
"Dream!"
Looking up at Eroding Wolf, Yoruichi Shihōin said coldly, with deep hatred and murderous intent in his golden eyes. Is this the guy who hurt Shadow like this!
"That's it!" Ikkaku Madarame, who has always had a bad temper, shouted loudly; "You must have used some despicable means to hurt Mr. Shadow!"
"You said... despicable means!" His palms clenched suddenly, and Eroding Wolf's tone became gloomy; "You... all deserve to die!"
"This is exactly what we want to say!" Renji Abarai raised Zanpakutō, smiling openly, his eyes full of provocation.
"That's right! Then go die!"
Eroding Wolf laughed crazily, his scarlet eyes filled with ferocity and violence.
"Cut!"
Curling his lips, the bellicose Ikkaku Madarame and Renji Abarai immediately launched an attack, but...
"What!" Ikkaku Madarame's horrified voice.
"How could this happen!" Renji Abarai's eyes widened.
"I can't move my body! It's because of it..."
Izuru Kira frowned deeply and looked down. He saw that his Shade under his feet was tightly wrapped around his body and spreading upwards. A strong sense of oppression came over him. It felt like he was being continuously compressed and everything was out of control.
"It's black!" Yumichika Ayase turned away in disgust; "It's really not beautiful!"
"Why are you still talking like this at this time! Ayase River!" Rangiku Matsumoto said, turning to look at Toshiro Hitsugaya; "Captain..."
"Is this the so-called ability to control Shade!" Toshiro Hitsugaya gritted his teeth; "No, I can't break free at all, Ukitake, Kyōraku..."
"Yeah!" Jūshirō Ukitake responded, took out Zanpakutō with his backhand and chopped it up.
"Ah!"
