"Why don't you stab me from behind? Maybe you can succeed!"
Xu Bai laughed coldly: "Tsk, who would believe that!"
The white mask gradually covered Ichigo's face until it was completely covered. On half of the mask, several red diagonal lines were pulled down, making it particularly eye-catching.
Unlike the Hollows of the Masked Corps, Ichigo is now completely taken over by the Hollow. When the mask spreads all over his body, Ichigo will become a Hollow. In theory, this is true, but Duke knows the significance of the Hollow's existence. He is loyal to Ichigo, and this appearance is mostly to protect his king.
He thought the battle was over, but a tough Byakuya appeared. Duke immediately became very excited and gave up the idea of shooting Byakuya in the head and started fighting with Byakuya. It was a rare opportunity to release the Moon, and if he didn't find a good opponent, it would be hard to suppress his boiling blood.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding————
A series of sword-knife collisions sounded, leaving countless afterimages in the air and sparks flying. Duke wanted to test Xu Bai's bottom line, so he didn't use swordsmanship to suppress him. Each sword strike was a collision of speed and power.
"don't want----"

Kyobaku also realized that his master was in trouble. While he was trying to fight back, he was looking for an escape route out of the corner of his eye. He was determined to keep Ichigo away from Duke even at the risk of his life.
"You guy, you actually hurt my body like this..." Xu Bai raised his head viciously, his unruly eyes full of murderous intent.
…
The crowd watching Ichigo fell to the ground with serious injuries, and their faces changed drastically. When Kyobaku and Duke were evenly matched before, they expected to defeat Duke, but they never thought that they would be defeated without any chance to fight back in the blink of an eye. The huge gap was hard for them to accept.
Duke sneered and disappeared in front of Xu Bai in an instant. Just as Xu Bai was about to raise his knife, a big hand covered him. Huge pressure came from his face, and before he could react, he was pressed to the ground, with the back of his head hitting the ground. He felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out blood.
Snap!
The worst one is not Kyobaku, but Ichigo, whose body is almost broken.
Xu Bai groaned, and after a long time he stood up with the help of his sword. The wounds across his chest and abdomen were very horrifying, with large amounts of blood dripping from them. It seemed that he was about to die.
It was just a pity that after being trapped in Duke's sword circle, he couldn't just retreat if he wanted to. Xu Bai wanted to leave, but was circled back by the sword again. The seemingly ordinary sword, but it hid countless changes, the sword moves were untraceable, and no matter how fast Xu Bai increased his speed, he couldn't avoid it.
Brains, means, perseverance, and luck are all indispensable. Not everyone can become a pioneer! The White Cloud disappeared, and Ichigo's mind took over his body. He was seriously injured and gasped. He opened his eyes tiredly, and his pupils were a little dilated. When Duke saw that the male lead was about to kneel, he immediately wanted to use the New Moon to save his life, but he never thought that his action would be mistaken for killing Ichigo.
"Brother-in-law..." Rukia stared at Byakuya in a trance. She didn't expect him to apologize to her. In her impression, Byakuya was the epitome of strictness and coldness. Except for his sister, Hisa, it was difficult for others to see his gentle side.
Click, click, click————
Clang! The sharp long sword tore through the air, leaving a residual image in the air. Xu Bai took a step back, narrowly avoiding the white silk that passed close to his chest. The cold sword intent cut through the bone armor and once again opened a bloody wound on Ichigo. In less than a minute, the situation that had been a back-and-forth fight with no clear winner was completely changed. Anyone could see that Xu Bai, who was covered in blood and panting, was already at the end of his strength.
The swordplay was so swift that it made no sense at all.
As the person involved, Byakuya knows better than Rukia what the consequences of his words and actions will be, but he cannot remain indifferent to his wife's plea. In addition, Byakuya is also dissatisfied with the judgment of the Forty-Sixth Chamber. Rukia selfishly lent the power of the god of death to humans, which is indeed a taboo, but after all, she is also a member of the Kuchiki family. The death penalty of the double-death spear clearly shows that she does not take the Kuchiki family seriously.
Rukia was right. As the captain of the 6th Division, representing the nobility, Byakuya Kuchiki was also the head of the Kuchiki family, one of the four great noble families. His status and position were extremely prominent. He shouldered the honor of all the nobles in Seireitei and could not be easily moved. This time, he openly disobeyed the orders of the Central 46th Chamber and would definitely be criticized by the entire noble group. If he was not careful, he might even lose his position as captain.
So he never considered accepting the power of the Hollow to break the boundaries of the God of Death!
Duke picked up the mask in his hand, looked at it, frowned, and threw it aside. Hollowing can break the boundaries of the god of death, and it is the best choice to improve one's own strength in a short period of time, but he doesn't think highly of it.
Shuowangyue slashed down with an indomitable momentum. The blade cut through the bone armor and cut through the skin and flesh. The hot blood from the chest splashed high. Xubai groaned, was cut in half by the knife, and flew backwards to the ground.
"It was your sister who asked me to come. She was very worried about you." Baiya appears cold on the outside but warm on the inside. It's not easy for him to say touching words.
Xu Bai hurriedly turned around to parry, but timing is a thing, and a step too slow means every step is too slow. Before he could set up the Tiansuo Zhan Yue, he saw a flash of cold light falling.
Moreover, being within the range of Duke's sword, he realized that if he continued, there seemed to be no other way out except to be crushed by the endless killing moves.
Byakuya was at the edge of the battlefield, his spiritual pressure exhausted and he didn't dare to stay for long, so he left in an instant and came to Rukia's side.
On the battlefield, Duke has already figured out the background of the White Hollow. He is not as strong as he thought. Not to mention Aizen, even the current captains of the Soul Society can defeat him. Of course, it may also be related to the White Hollow not fully releasing its power. The Bull Head Hollow easily killed the second stage Ulquiorra, and it can easily destroy the Soul Society in that form.
Rukia clasped her hands tightly and said faintly: "Sister doesn't have to do so much for me. I have never blamed her."
Duke swept his sword across the ground, cutting a straight horizontal line: "Don't disturb my fight. I warn you. If you cross the line, I will decide your life or death."
The bone armor covering his right shoulder collapsed, revealing a hideous wound, with blood splattered all over the place. Xu Bai let out a strange cry and retreated repeatedly.
After figuring out the route, Duke stopped defending himself, and the Moon Danced into a phantom. After three moves, Xu Bai was forced to retreat. Then, three more moves followed, and the Sky Locking Moon in Xu Bai's hand was picked apart, and the blade slashed across and slashed heavily on his right shoulder.
"Besides your sister, I also have my own personal wish to save you. I'm sorry, when I brought you back to Soul Society, I didn't expect the 46th Chamber to punish you so severely." Byakuya said quietly: "I am largely responsible for making you worry and fear these days."
There was a harsh sound of grinding teeth, accompanied by the layer-by-layer peeling off of the Hollow mask. With a curse, Kyobaku returned to Ichigo's body.
Moreover, Duke knew that none of the smart people who mastered virtualization chose to virtualize themselves. There is a saying that goes, money follows smart people. If you don't want to go astray, be honest.
Rukia and Inoue were about to rush forward, but were stopped by Byakuya Kuchiki. Ishida, Chad and Ganju were not so lucky. They had just taken two steps when they were swept away by the oncoming sword pressure and fell to the ground.
The unconscious Renci trembled slightly, his neck was stiff and his head felt a little heavy.
Rukia never hated Hime for abandoning her, and even when she entered the Kuchiki family, she was glad that she met Renji and his friends because of this experience. It might be her smile from the heart that made Hime feel more guilty, and the elder sister always felt that she was sorry for her younger sister.
"How dare you have random thoughts during a fight?" Duke's voice sounded from behind. His pupils shrank into needle points and his blood turned cold.
The blade swung down, blood splashed! Xu Bai's fight became more and more chaotic, and the wounds on his body increased. Duke's moves were as fast as a ghost, and no matter how he dodged, Duke could always change his moves at the most appropriate time.
With each new member added to the traversal team, his spiritual pressure would be enhanced, and as everyone's strength grew stronger, his progress became more and more obvious. There was no trend of being as hard as iron in the early stage and becoming weak in the later stage.
Looking at the dusty Byakuya, Rukia said with emotion: "Brother-in-law, you are the head of the Kuchiki family. Your words and deeds represent the honor of the Kuchiki family. You should not come to save me."
"Ichigo!"
On the Double Killing Hill, roars rang out one after another, with the two girls being the most shrill. Duke covered his ears and looked at Rukia and Inoue, speechless. He didn't mean to explain, and the tip of the Moon Blade was pointed at Ichigo's heart, just waiting to poke it gently.
Swish——————
A swift shadow rushed over at high speed, and the blade of the Moon and Moon was wrapped with circles of bandages. Shifengyuan Yoruichi pulled the other end of the bandage to stop the blade from stabbing. At the same time, Soi Fong arrived in an instant, her petite figure closely following Duke's back, and the Shikai Sparrow Bee on her fingertips touched the aorta in Duke's neck.
"Shihouin Yoruichi... so fast! But, Captain Soi-Fong, what do you mean by this?"
