"I was wrong. That guy is a kendo expert."

"Hiyori became a hollow so quickly..."

"I have a bad feeling!"

Although Hirako and the other seven were surprised by Duke's swordsmanship, they were not too worried. Hiyori was covered in blood, which was quite miserable, but it was just miserable. The wound was not deep and did not hurt any bones. The battle of the Shinigami was a battle of spiritual pressure. In their perception, Duke's spiritual pressure was only at the level of a vice-captain, and the hollowed-out Hiyori was many times stronger than him. The gap in level was too big, and it could not be made up by exquisite swordsmanship alone.

“Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell——”

Hiyori wielded the Snake Orochi and chopped down one after another. After becoming a virtual being, her speed and strength increased greatly, and each of her slashes was accompanied by a heavy sound of breaking wind.

The soft moon, like water, was completely different from the giant snake. It gracefully danced with a clear silver hook, not hurriedly or slowly, always blocking the attack at the last moment, giving people the feeling that they would be defeated in the next move. But in fact, this feeling lasted for a long time, and the expected ending did not come as expected.

After Lisa Yadomaru snorted coldly, the iron paddle drew a semicircle and slashed towards Duke's back.

Yadomaru Lisa almost lost her hand, but she was not panicked at all. Just as she expected, her teammates were there to help her. This was a tacit understanding and a tactic that had been practiced many times. Although she induced Duke to reveal a flaw in the tactic, and then others seized the flaw to give a fatal blow, she also had to bear the risk of the main attack. But the petty woman didn't care about these things. She only remembered Duke's kindness in losing his hand.

He is hiding his strength, why is he doing this? Is there another conspirator in Soul Society? Or is he in cahoots with Aizen?

That was Hiyori's only thought.

"It's not just pure swordsmanship, there's also the suppression of spiritual pressure..." Hirako's face was more solemn than ever. The moment he cut through the Void, Duke's spiritual pressure soared rapidly, and its peak even exceeded his spiritual pressure during Bankai.

Aikawa Ratake: "Smash him, Tengumaru!"

"Is this an illusion? What's wrong with this guy..."

In the field, Hiyori swung her sword, then took two steps at a time and retreated more than ten meters before stopping. Her eyes flashed with a strong sense of vigilance under the mask. As the person involved, no one could understand the weirdness of this short battle better than her. The Duke on the other side was like a dark abyss. Even if she pushed herself to the limit, she could not figure out the opponent's bottom line.

Fengqiao Loujuro pulled Jinshaluo tight and entangled Duke's right hand holding the knife. Jiunanbai twisted his legs behind his back and clasped Duke's right hand. In front of him, Liuche Quanxi held Duandifeng and pressed his head against it, making him unable to move.

A violent flash of light shot out into the air, and the scarlet light emanated a sinister evil intent. The long chain created by the shock wave dyed the entire warehouse red.

boom----

"The Void was actually deflected... with a Zanpakutō!?" Arisada Bokugen is an expert in the Kidō, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to slash. Among the four major skills of the Shinigami, slashing is ranked first and is the most important skill of all Shinigami. As a former deputy head of the Kidō clan, he knows very well how difficult it is to deflect a Void with a blade.

There was a sudden explosion at an angle behind him, causing the barrier to become unstable. The old warehouse could not withstand such a torrent of damage, and bricks and rubble fell from the ceiling.

Duke was speechless when he saw this strange weapon. What should he say? She was really a slut who always held an adult magazine in her hands. Even her weapon was big, thick, black and hard.

First, Yadomaru Lisa appeared in an instant, and the huge iron paddle broke through the air, making a loud noise! ​​The appearance of the Zanpakuto after the Shikai is a long spear-shaped flat blade, with the front end similar to the shape of an oar, and the blade is wide and cold. In ancient times, there was a cold weapon called "iron paddle", which was ranked in the weapon list. However, Yadomaru Lisa is more like a horse lance than an iron paddle.

Duke squinted and raised his head. In the storm, he could vaguely see the green spiritual pressure gathering. In addition to the kick, there was also a flash. The flash was the axe blade, and the slash was the axe handle. This was a beautiful two-hit combo.

Jiunanbai's ankle was grabbed. She twisted twice but failed to break free. Instead, the big hand kept tightening its grip, making her grimace in pain and she felt like her bones were about to be broken.

Duke let out a muffled groan, and a huge force flowed through his limbs and was injected into all directions along the traction of his feet. The cracked ground was covered like a spider web and spread to the entire abandoned warehouse.

boom----

Are the current Gotei 13 so strong? The seven people had mixed feelings. It felt like seeing their ex-girlfriend hooking up with a tall, rich and handsome man, living a happy life without shame or impatience... Very disappointed.

"Prepare to support Hiyori... Kobata, and strengthen the barrier."

"Hiyori, come back! That guy is not simple, let me take over." Hirako's face was solemn. How could he not see how terrifying the other party was?

"My Hollow Flash... was..." The Hollow time was over, and the mask on Hiyori's face disappeared, revealing a panicked face. Because she was too surprised, her mind went blank, and she couldn't continue her words halfway.

After the Shinigami became a Hollow, they gained Hollow abilities, and Hiyori used one of them - Hollow Flash! "Go to hell!"

"Damn it, how can I swallow this?" Hiyori said angrily, the bone mask opened its mouth, and the evil spiritual pressure quickly compressed into a violent red energy ball.

Muguruma Kensei held the dagger-like Shikai and stabbed Duke's head. Although the knife was short, it had tiny invisible wind blades surrounding it. No one would doubt the cutting power of this knife.

There was no exchange or communication, the battle just started!

Duke neither dodged nor defended. He held the sword in front of him, and the blade cut into the momentum of the virtual charge, flipping the blade and sending it flying.

Fengqiao Loujuro was shocked and transformed into an eagle-like mask, which stopped his defeat. Even though the transformation greatly increased his physical fitness and made him stronger than ever before, he still felt powerless, as if he was wrestling with a giant beast.

Duke dodged the spear tip sideways, and the Moon slid down the iron paddle spear body, sparks flew everywhere, and slashed at Yadomaru Lisa's hands holding the spear body. Seeing that Yadomaru Lisa's hands were about to be cut off, a golden long whip sprang out from the shadows, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, and flexibly wrapped around Duke's right hand holding the Moon. The tight long whip was made of unknown material, soft but tough, and it actually pulled the sharp knife that was about to chop down.

"Is it the ability of your Zanpakutō?"

At the critical moment, Duke burst out with a huge spiritual pressure, broke through the sharp wind blade, opened his mouth and bit the short blade, and actually used the teeth of his upper and lower jaws to capture the Broken Wind of Liuche Quanxi.

Yadomaru Lisa: "Defeat him, Iron Dragonfly!"

Fengqiao Loujuro: "Play it, Kinsara!"

The blade was so close at hand, and the tacit cooperation left Duke no room to dodge. The shadow of the blade grew bigger and bigger in his pupils.

"Idiot Quanxi, hurry up, my bones are going to break." Jiunanbai screamed in pain, and Duke grabbed his ankle and slammed him to the ground. The mask on his face shattered and he exited his virtual state.

At the beginning, Hiyori didn't go all out, and after suffering a loss, she increased the battle rhythm to the limit, but even so, Duke was still strolling leisurely, keeping a smile on his face throughout the whole process. It seemed that to him, Hiyori who went all out was the same as ordinary Hiyori, and could not pose a threat.

Judging from Duke's armband, he is the vice-captain of the 4th Division... But why is he so strong? The medical division is so strong, what about the combat division? Isn't it going to be amazing?

Duke seemed to have eyes on his back, and he stepped back in the direction of the iron paddle, kicked Yadomaru Lisa sideways, and pulled Kinsara with his right hand, bursting out with terrifying strength, and directly pulled Fengqiao Loujuro into the air.

Liu Che Quan Xi: "Destroy everything, and the wind will break the earth!"

"This kind of swordsmanship is a joke... I don't know how to describe it!" Fengqiao Loujuro was shocked. He felt that he would never be able to do it in his lifetime.

"..." None of the remaining people answered, they were still in shock and hadn't woken up.

"Asshole, take my knife!"

"Could it be that his Zanpakutō can instantly increase his spiritual pressure?" Yadomaru Lisa turned to ask Arishoda Bokugen. She also felt the spiritual pressure surge at that moment. Her Zanpakutō was a direct attack type, and she didn't know much about Kidō type Zanpakutō. Coincidentally, there was a Kidō master among her teammates.

Apart from Hiyori who was temporarily unable to hollow out due to exhaustion, four of the remaining seven members of the Masked Group had their Zanpakuto released. Hirako had no Shikai, and Aizen was in the dark, so he didn't want to expose his Zanpakuto too early. As for the remaining two, Kunan Shira and Arishoda Bokugen, perhaps they were also trying to hide, but it was more likely that they were not good at using Zanpakuto in combat, after all, one of them was a master of Kidō, and the other was proficient in close combat.

Pingzi's face was solemn, but his heart was filled with endless waves. Terrible thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, and soon his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Swish! Swish! Swish————The seven of them didn't say anything extra. They instantly came in front of Hiyori and surrounded Duke. Years of getting along with each other made them absolutely compatible. They could understand each other's intentions with just a glance. Duke broke into their lair alone, and he was a conspirator with ulterior motives. At this time, they no longer cared about the Soul Society's thoughts and planned to kill him with all their strength.

"Something's wrong. There's something wrong with that guy." Pingzi, who was watching the whole process, frowned.

It’s Fengqiao Rojuro’s Zanpakuto—Kinsara!

Before Fengqiao Loujuro finished speaking, a white shadow instantly appeared above Duke's head. After being transformed, Jiunanbai spun in the air, twisted his waist, gathered all the strength of his body into his legs, and chopped down with his right leg like a battle axe. Before the kick arrived, the roaring sonic boom suddenly rolled up countless dust.

Hiyori was restless after being unable to defeat him for a long time. She was a weakling who could be defeated with just a little more effort, but she was unexpectedly resilient. She tried to increase her strength and speed, but to no avail. The Moon was like a tortoise shell, blocking all her attacks.

"Hurry, his power is too strong."

The Moon and his right hand were imprisoned and unable to move, leaving Duke with only his empty left hand. However, he did not choose to dodge, and clenched his left fist to meet the opponent head-on. With the sound of grinding teeth, Xu Shan was blown up by a punch, and the charred fist broke through the dust, with five fingers opened like a clamp to clasp the powerful kick.

"White Super Flying Kick——"

Unfathomable!

"Now!"

Hirako Mako appeared behind Duke at some point, and the Zanpakutō in her hand stabbed Duke's back. The ruthless blade cut through the skin, muscle tissue, pierced through the heart, and finally pierced through the Death Hagi, piercing out half of the tip of the blade.

The bright red blood in my heart flowed along the tip of the knife...
