It was not only the collision of swords but also the confrontation of spiritual pressure, Kurosaki Ichigo held the hilt in both hands, and the silver blade that formed an exaggerated arc of the slashing moon was stubbornly against the blade of the slashing knife in Bai Lan's hand, and the two captain-level spiritual pressure had not been suppressed once since the beginning of this battle, and it was raging violently in this secret base with only hard soil and yellow stone, causing one stirring after another.

The size of the sword has nothing to do with thickness and spiritual pressure, and Ichigo knows that.

The moon slashing in his hand is different from the original one, and it is already the posture of Reiko after condensation, which Ichigo also knows.

However, seeing that Bai Lan used the slender sword to block his repeated attacks, Ichigo's heart was still a little impatient—it was not impatience that could not leave the slightest wound on the enemy, but from the deeper depths of his body and heart, as if something was criing in his soul.

clamoring to break free, clamoring to take his place.

Shouting, to tear apart the man in front of him.

“…… Tsk, it's noisy," forced himself to ignore the irritability that was inexplicable and didn't know if it was his own delusion, and focused his attention on the battlefield Ichigo once again distanced himself from Bailan, and the other party's comfortable appearance made him more and more unhappy.

It's better to say that he didn't like this man who talked to himself from the beginning, but he didn't expect it......

"You're pretty good."

- I didn't expect this man who can only be described as subtle and eccentric to be so powerful.

This man named Bai Lan not only made him think that he had grown a lot in these days, but also made him embarrassed, as if he had just rolled down the knife mountain. As the two sides of the battle, one is spotless and the other is scarred, and the comparison between the two makes Ichigo a little impressed by the white-haired man in front of him.

Of course, while admiring, he also recognized the gap between himself and the so-called captain level.

Bai Lan immediately laughed when she heard this, and of course the previous seriousness suddenly disappeared. Of course, the most direct destruction of his image is actually the next sentence: "Actually, it's okay, it's just a little more powerful than you." ”

Ichigo: "............"

How is it that as soon as this man opens his mouth, people have the urge to sew his mouth shut!

"Anyway, isn't there really a problem if you don't release the sword of the sword," Ichigo, who forced himself to ignore Bai Lan's words as if he ignored the clamor in his heart before, and Ichigo, who felt that he might be angry if he had to fight with the other party, decided to go straight to the anus, "Mr. Captain." ”

The light-colored spiritual pressure spilled from the spiritual pressure vents on the two wrists that every Grim Reaper possessed, and the light-colored spiritual pressure spread from Ichigo's hands to the surrounding body, but more of it was still attached to the slashing moon in his hand.

"If you're not serious, then I'll ...... next."

- Boom!

Ichigo's provocative and proclamatory words were forcibly interrupted before he could finish it, and the sound of metal hitting replaced the boy's voice, echoing through the confined space again.

Hakuran, who forcibly interrupted Ichigo's reading, didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her behavior at all, and while waving the slashing knife in her hand to press Ichigo a little confused step by step, she didn't forget to educate and guide her mouth: "Didn't Miss Akagi over there teach you?" ”

Ichigo, who had previously received a lot of Akagi's teachings, subconsciously frowned, "What? ”

"What?" Bai Lan chuckled, "Of course, it's the truth that 'the villain dies from talking too much'." ”

Akagi: "............" ????

Ichigo: "............ don't you dare to make it clear, who is the villain!"

Although it was a trip to break into the Soul Garden, Ichigo, whose purpose was only to rescue Rukia from the "impersonal corpse soul world" from beginning to end, felt that compared to him, an "ordinary high school student" who only looked vicious in appearance, but actually got into the top 100 of his grade in every exam, these strong and unspoken personalities were more like villains than a quirky captain, okay!

"And haven't you noticed it, I'm gambling with my life to fight you, since it's a battle with my life, I naturally have to go all out from the beginning. Unless you think you're much stronger than me, you can get away with it without trying your best. ”

Bai Lan said, but the movements in his hands did not pause at all, the battle situation was more and more stalemate than before, he didn't even give Ichigo a chance to distance himself, he was as sticky as a piece of kraft candy, "But I still can't feel that Ichigo-kun is stronger than me, in fact, judging from the current situation, ......"

His gaze quickly swept over the tattered Death Lord's suit, and then a contemptuous smile.

"You're not strong enough to be able to get out of the way even if you hide your strength."

“…… It's noisy! After enduring it for a long time, Ichigo still couldn't hold it back, he rolled his eyes at Bai Lan, who was committed to guiding his battle view, and hit Bai Lan's slashing knife with a force in his hand, "I didn't open my mouth and chattered for a long time, who is talking a lot!" ”

"All out? Of course, I'm going all out to deal with monsters like you! ”

Ichigo saw that Bailan didn't mean to interrupt him, so he simply yelled out all the irritability he had suppressed just now, "If you don't use a trick at the beginning, you don't do your best?" Have you ever seen anyone who plays cards and loses the first to blow up||Bounce it! ”

Before Bai Lan could react to Ichigo's apparently unexpected complaint, Akagi on the side had silently turned his face away.

She doesn't care about anything else, but she loses the explosion first when she plays cardsBullet man...... She's actually seen it.

If you want to ask who it is, of course, it is the commander of their family who has mature thinking, sharp tactics, and most importantly, good luck that makes people wonder if it is the commander who is open.

"So you're trying to show that you have a trick but haven't had time to use it, right?" When Bai Lan heard this, she gave up her defensive posture, and even lowered her right hand, which was still holding the knife, "Interesting, then here, use it on me, Ichigo-kun." ”

Ever since Ichigo had the ability to see spirits, he hadn't met a breed like Shiran.

One moment is so serious that people feel that he is the villain who is about to destroy the world, and the next moment he is so serious that people hate him but are helpless against him. At this time, it was hard to make people think that he could probably communicate, but it turned out that he was even sicker than expected.

He also thought that the captains of the thirteenth team of the court were all existences like Kuchigi Hakuya, but he didn't expect that there would be such a person.

Wait, is it really okay for such a person to be the captain?

Is the Thirteenth Team really okay???

"What are you kidding, how can I use ...... on someone who has no resistance"

"What to use? A trick? Shiran's hands spread out and he shook his head and sighed exaggeratedly—this kind of pompous behavior Ichigo had only seen in TV dramas before, "Whenever I think you're interesting, your naivety always pushes my imagination, Ichigo-kun." ”

Ichigo frowned, "What exactly do you mean?" ”

"Since your enemies have given you this opportunity, you should take advantage of it, and the phrase 'kill you while you are sick' is not something you can just hear," said Bai Lan, who even withdrew the knife into its scabbard, "and how do you know that your trick will really work against me?" ”

…… How do you know my tricks won't work for you?

Ichigo subconsciously wanted to ask a rhetorical question, but looking at Bailan's appearance, he felt that even if he really asked that, the other party might be able to pull out some other big truths.

Then the only way is to ......

Chop!

The previously interrupted reading began again, and the light cyan spiritual power once again attached to the young man's body, and then gradually condensed towards the slashing knife in the young man's hand. Kurosaki Ichigo glanced at Bai Lan, who had no defense in front of him, thinking that his purpose was not really to kill the other party, but he still slightly restrained the output of spiritual pressure.

Then, swing the knife and slash down—

After absorbing Ichigo's own spiritual pressure, the move released by the giant slash contained a high density of spiritual pressure, and this one, called Crescent Sky Chong's attack on Akagi, had seen it and knew what kind of power it had, so she also wanted to see how Bai Lan, who rarely used real power in front of them, could carry this move head-on.

As a result, she saw Bai Lan, who was not afraid of danger, show a familiar bright smile, and then in a flash, she moved about half a meter to the right.

Akagi: "............"

Ichigo: "............"

I just said it so majestic, as if I could take this move head-on without a slashing knife, but in the end, do you still have to dodge?! Since you want to hide, then you provoked a hair at the beginning! The captain's face is about to be lost by you, okay?

Ichigo and Akagi stared at someone who didn't seem to feel ashamed of his actions, and they didn't quite understand what kind of trouble he was making with this kind of behavior of pretending to be coerced.

"Is this your trick? Well, it seems to be pretty good, and it's not in vain that she's put a lot of effort into you," he said, glancing at Akagi, who hadn't spoken much since the beginning of the battle.

Because of his action, Ichigo also defaulted to Akagi in Shiran's mouth.

Hakuran didn't give Ichigo time to think about it, and then continued to talk about matters other than the battle, "Ah, by the way, there is still some time before Rukia's execution, so you might as well take advantage of this time to hone yourself again." ”

"Although this trick of yours looks pretty good, it's still far from going head-to-head with the captain of the Thirteenth Team of the Guardian Court, such as Bai Jae-kun."

"You're ......"

Ichigo was about to continue questioning, but Shiran apparently didn't want to explain to him. He glanced at the extra abyss in the dusty secret base, then nodded in satisfaction, and finally stretched out his hands to the sky, and after a lazy back, he put on a posture ready to die.

"Since I've seen everything I want to see, and I've finished saying everything I want to say, then I won't bother," Bai Lan said and turned around and left directly, muttering in her mouth and began to chatter, "Oh, it's all this time, if you don't go back, I'm afraid Ranju and Winter Shilang will be worried." ”

Ichigo: "............"

Feed!!! What's going on!!

He finished his ultimate move and was about to force Bai Lan to move seriously, but who knew that he didn't say anything, this guy was already ready to run.

- Even the captain is like this, is this corpse soul realm really good!!

"Wait!" Although he didn't plan to go head-to-head with Bai Lan from the beginning - it is better to say that this captain-level character took the initiative to come and give him experience. But the other side starts the battle when he talks to himself, and ends the battle when he talks to himself...... It still makes Ichigo feel very unpleasant, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”

"What do I want to do, you ask?"

Bairan's footsteps didn't pause in the slightest, and he didn't even look back at Ichigo, just waved at them in a whimsical manner, his tone full of pleasure and cheerfulness that sounded slightly strange at this time and occasion.

"You'll find out soon, Ichigo-kun." 166 Reading Network
