He originally intended to increase the power slightly by using two fingers, but as Bakotsu drew closer, the bone-chilling cold grew stronger, finally causing Bazz-B to set aside some of his contempt.
Three fingers!
Pressing his index, middle, and ring fingers together, he swiped through the air. In the next instant, it was as if a flame slash had formed, blasting directly toward Bakotsu!
Bakotsu swung his blade once more, instantly colliding with the flames!
Boom!
The flame, which appeared to be merely an air blade, exploded immediately upon contact with Kitetsu. With a roar, a burst of fire surged upward, yet it still could not block Bakotsu's path!
"Tch!"
Seeing this, Bazz-B hurriedly took a step back. At this moment, he no longer dared to be careless and stomped his foot onto the ground!
Boom!
A wall of fire rose from the ground, blocking the space between him and Bakotsu like a shield!
Boom!
This was the true collision between the two. Facing the scorching flames, Bakotsu finally came to a halt!
The clash of their two powers sent up two pillars of Reiatsu, one blue and one red. A powerful force erupted and scattered!
Several surrounding houses collapsed directly under the blast of these two forces!
!
Transformed into his Bakotsu Hybrid Form, Saint Nusjuro was somewhat surprised. He seemingly hadn't expected this mohawk-headed man to be able to block his charge.
"It seems you people have accumulated quite a bit of strength during these centuries of hiding."
Saint Nusjuro said in a deep voice.
"Ha!" Bazz-B thought Saint Nusjuro was referring to the Quincy desperately hiding in the shadows of the Seireitei after their past defeat by the Shinigami. To a Quincy, this was undoubtedly a blatant mockery.
After all, he was one of the Quincies who had gone into hiding back then.
He sneered, "If the time hadn't come yet, I would have come out and killed you all long ago!"
Bazz-B didn't think much of it, simply treating the monster before him as a Shinigami.
After all, Shinigami all carry swords.
Saint Nusjuro's posture was somewhat similar to a Shinigami's. Although he was in a monster form now, it could very well be the ability of a Zanpakuto.
Bazz-B was never a strategic commander to begin with, and he was even less inclined to overthink. Anyway... in battle, you either kill the opponent or get killed by them!
No matter how much is said, in the end, it comes down to a bloody fight!
"Burner Finger 4!"
Boom!
Bazz-B extended his hand. In the next moment, a massive amount of fire extended from his palm, transforming into a giant flaming blade!
Saint Nusjuro's gaze sharpened. He gripped his sword with both hands, the blade emitting a dense, freezing chill.
Bakotsu, a yokai transformed from a horse burned to death in a fire—its ability is not to control fire, but ice, the opposite of fire!
Now, facing off against the fire-controlling Bazz-B, it was like a duel of destiny!
Boom!
Ice and fire erupted with immense power at this moment!
"Hmm?"
Transformed into an Itsumade and flying in the sky, Saint Marcus Mars noticed the clash of ice and fire below. He immediately opened his mouth, and flames began to condense within.
He prepared to destroy the brat fighting Saint Nusjuro!
But an arrow suddenly shot directly into his mouth, detonating the energy that was accumulating inside!
With a boom, the massive energy exploded within the Itsumade's giant beak!
Itsumade, one of the yokai from the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, is a giant monstrous bird!
An explosion had occurred in his mouth, yet he suffered no damage. No, it would be more accurate to say that the damage caused by the explosion was recovering at a rapid pace!
"To think someone would dare to break into the Empire! So it's the evil Hollows; you truly are a group that should be eliminated!"
Standing on a distant rooftop was a Quincy wearing glasses. Like the others, he wore a military cap, had a thin face, and possessed slanted eyebrows. Beltz recognized this man, for he was Beltz' former Combat Instructor!
Quilge Opie! The 'J' of the Sternritter!
Seeing the evil Reiatsu of the Itsumade and its body undergoing High-Speed Regeneration, he naturally took it for a Hollow.
"Insects that should have been destroyed long ago actually established an Empire after fleeing. How utterly ridiculous."
Saint Mars's demonic eyes stared at Gremmy Thoumeaux in front of him, his words filled with contempt: "Let us send you to the hell you failed to fall into back then."
"It seems Saint Nusjuro and Saint Mars are both tied up by enemies!"
On the other side, the three Gorosei continued their advance.
Transformed into giant monsters, no one could block their path forward.
The Knights of God also charged behind them. Occasionally, those missed and not killed by the Gorosei were finished off by them.
"I didn't expect them to accumulate such formidable strength over these hundreds of years. We were careless."
Sensing the Haki all around, Saint Saturn said in a deep voice: "Clearing out these insects won't be a simple task."
Now... whether this place is the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom is no longer that important.
Because they felt the presence of a large number of powerful individuals here!
They had just finished cleaning up the Rocks Pirates, even requiring Lord Imu to personally take action. Yet now, they had discovered another "Rocks Pirates"?
What a joke!
Regardless of who these people were, to accumulate such a powerful military force during their reign meant that even if they weren't descendants of the Ancient Kingdom, they must certainly intend to be enemies of the World Government!
Moreover, these people truly were survivors of the Great War from hundreds of years ago. This much could be confirmed from the conversation with them.
Although some words were incomprehensible, the fact that they had been hiding here for hundreds of years was indeed beyond doubt.
In that case, they must be wiped out!
"Let me!"
St. Shepherd Ju Peter said in a deep voice: "I can swallow them all in one breath!"
He transformed into a giant sandworm.
Much like the legendary Mongolian Death Worm, in his sandworm form, he could devour everything into his body!
He opened his giant mouth, and an infinite suction force was instantly released. A large number of buildings in front were uprooted and flew toward his mouth!
Even the giant palace in the center seemed as if it were about to be sucked in at this moment. Massive stones broke off from the structure and flew out!
"Stop him!"
Haschwalth, stationed in the center, commanded the Sternritter: "You must not let them disturb His Majesty!"
"Is it a full mobilization?"
Cang Du of the Sternritter also arrived at the central palace. Hearing Haschwalth's words, he said calmly:
"What if assassins come?"
"I will stay with the Royal Guard," Haschwalth said in a deep voice. "Everyone else, full-scale attack!"
