Nexia firmly believed it, and she never suspected that no matter what kind of predicament and enemy they were facing, her father, would definitely cut off all obstacles.
This was not blind confidence.
She had seen countless similar scenes in the air in the future, and those powerful enemies that made people feel desperate were defeated by her father in the end.
Lod did not respond to her, but silently took a step forward, blocking in front of the fake, using practical actions to express his thoughts.
Go ahead. Leave this place to me!
Constantine understood what Lod meant. The last hesitation in his heart was completely dispelled. He took a deep breath and said, "We'll wait for you on the ninth floor. Take care."
"We're leaving, father."
Nexia was reluctant to part with him. She took a deep look at Lod's back and firmly imprinted it in her heart. Then, she turned around and walked to the back.
After the wall of relief that was embedded with the bell was smashed by sword, a dark path was revealed. It was the road leading to the ninth floor.
It was still a spiral staircase, but it was even narrower and more cramped. It could only accommodate one person at the same time. Moreover, there was no end to it. It was like a huge mouth that had been opened from the abyss, extending all the way to the depths of the earth.
When the two of them were about to step into the road, the fake Lod who had been motionless all this time seemed to have been stimulated by something. He suddenly rushed over and let out a roar like a beast.
The fake Lod was extremely fast, but he was not using Hoho. Instead, he was using his physical ability to move at an astonishing speed.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The moment it disappeared, the marble floor in the banquet hall cracked, as if it had been trampled by a mammoth. It directly shattered into countless pieces of stone, and the violent wind that rose up in all directions made a whistling sound like a bullet.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A fishy wind mixed with thick blood energy, accompanied by the roar of a terrifying beast, pounced towards Nexia and Constantine.
The five fingers were like sharp blades of sword, making an ear-piercing sound as they cut through the air, aiming straight for the necks of the two people.
Constantine felt a chill on his back. Goosebumps immediately rose all over his body. His exposed skin was brushed by the strong wind, and it split open a fine bloody wound. The feeling of battle deep into his bones surged into his heart and brain.
Subconsciously, Constantine turned around and saw that the roaring beast figure was stretching out its two pale arms. Its five fingers were like the blades of sword, and at this moment, it was less than a meter away from Nexia's neck!
The girl's clean and slender neck seemed to be going to be beheaded in the next second in front of those sharp claws that had distinct joints and were as white as a corpse.
"Be careful!"
Constantine immediately turned pale with fright and hurriedly reached out to grab Nexia, saving the girl from this danger.
But before he could do anything, he caught a glimpse of another figure from the corner of his eye. It suddenly appeared like a ghost, and a short sword with a cold and gloomy light directly pressed against the palm of the sharp claws.
Clang
The sharp claws collided with sword's sword. In the dark ring, a dazzling fire splashed. The loud and clear sound of metal hitting metal echoed in the empty banquet hall.
The short fire reflected Lod's cold face and eyes that were suffused with cold killing intent.
Only then did Constantine react. At the same time as he breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately glanced at Nexia. He found that the girl was still walking forward without any hesitation, as if she had already expected it.
"Don't worry about what's behind you."
Nexia walked all the way to the stairs. Only then did she slowly turn around and say, "With father here, it is impossible for that guy to break through, so we just need to move forward."
"You are right. I was too careful. Even an angel could not kill your father, let alone a monster." Constantine was stunned for a moment and then laughed at himself.
"..."
Lod's eyes were a little unhappy. He felt that Constantine was talking too much, so he turned around and kicked him hard in the chest, kicking him directly into the stairs.
"'-You f**king sneaky bastard!"
Constantine had no time to react. He was kicked several meters away by Lod. He almost flew into the stairs upside down. Then, like a wind and fire wheel, he rolled down the stairs.
The spiral staircase was very narrow, and the angle of each level was very high. Therefore, Constantine could not stand up at all. He was forced to form a human ball. He cursed loudly and screamed as he rolled down. He gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Nexia was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she looked at Lod with a strange expression. It seemed that she had met her father again.
Lod pointed to the passage with his chin and then gave the girl a look, indicating that she should leave here quickly. Otherwise, she could not let go of her hands.
"Yes, I will leave now!"
Nexia's delicate body shook. As if she had been frightened, she quickly turned around and walked into the passage. Looking at her panicked little steps, she was probably afraid that she would be kicked.
"Roar --"
When the fake Lod saw someone break into the passage, he immediately let out a sharp howl. His face was covered with black blood vessels, and his muscles were twisted and terrifying. His entire body was suffused with a dense and violent aura!
The strength of the sword suddenly increased several times. The fake Lod relied on brute force to press his palm against the tip of Shinso's sword and slowly advanced forward step by step.
What a strong strength.
Lod's expression changed slightly and he was secretly shocked. He did not expect the power of this ghost thing to even make him feel a little strained.
Bang -
The fake Lod's eyes flashed with red light. He roared and took half a step forward. The ground was cracked by the stomp. The huge force passed along the ground and shook the entire banquet hall violently. His fist, which was much tougher than steel, broke through the air. Along with the powerful force that was like a mountain collapsing, it smashed toward Lod's face.
The force of this punch made hollow tremble in the air!
The explosive wind was pulled by the fist. It roared like a wind dragon and rushed over. Lod couldn't help but narrow his eyes into a slit. The tip of his foot tapped the ground and jumped back. In the air, he turned over and pulled away from it.
The punch missed, causing a thousand ripples of air.
The power that was released from the fist directly plowed a deep gully on the marble floor in front of him.
Dong!
Seeing that the punch did not hit its target, it was like a monster that did not know exhaustion. It did not give Lod any chance to catch his breath. It ran over like a wild beast on all fours. Its scarlet eyes that were filled with ruthlessness and killing intent, in this dark environment where it could not see its fingers, pulled out a thin line that was as red as blood, floating in the dark like a terrifying ghost.
It had to be said that the monster had a strong ability to grasp the timing.
It grabbed Lod and jumped into the air. Then, when it just landed, it could not adjust its posture in time. It planned to use a storm of attacks to tear this enemy in front of it to pieces!
However, how could Lod do as it wished?
If he talked about the battlefield experience and the temporary reaction when fighting against enemies, he boasted that he would not lose to anyone. Don't forget that he inherited the title [Kenpachi] from the hands of Unohana Yachiru!
He had already seen through the thoughts of a mere monster.
The monster rushed forward confidently and was about to punch at Lod when he saw that under the wide black robe, there was a sudden burst of dazzling light, like the first ray of dawn that cut through the night, and suddenly lit up the dark environment as if it was daytime!
Bankai... Kamishini no Yari!
