"Bankai! Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!!"
Upon hearing Fang Mo's words, Hitsugaya Tōshirō instantly activated his Bankai, and his spiritual pressure began to surge wildly.
Quickly, a pair of icy wings sprouted from Hitsugaya Tōshirō's back, and his limbs were also covered with ice dragon-style armor. An ice dragon tail extended from his back, making it look as if he was possessed by an ice dragon. At the same time, three enormous ice flowers materialized behind him.
This is Hitsugaya Tōshirō's Zanpakutō, Hyōrinmaru's Bankai, Daiguren Hyōrinmaru, capable of manipulating cold air and ice on a large scale, said to be the strongest ice-element Zanpakutō in the Soul Society.
"On God, Ice Dragon Skasa!"
Fang Mo, upon seeing this scene, couldn't help but shout out.
"Gin Ichimaru! I'll kill you!!"
With a ferocious expression, Hitsugaya Tōshirō charged at Gin Ichimaru, brandishing his Zanpakutō. In an instant, the atmosphere changed, frost and snow howled, and the moisture in the air condensed into a giant ice dragon, crashing toward Gin Ichimaru.
"…"
Gin Ichimaru, now having to guard against Fang Mo while also confronting Hitsugaya Tōshirō, was not in a laughing mood. His eyes narrowed, quickly gathering his spiritual pressure and activating Shikai.
His short Zanpakutō suddenly began to extend rapidly, instantly piercing through the opponent's ice dragon.
Hitsugaya Tōshirō was in his Bankai state, going all out. At that moment, he raised his blade to block the incoming tip of Gin Ichimaru's sword. Then with a flick of his blade, a section of chain flew out, wrapping around Gin Ichimaru's blade. Seeing this, Gin Ichimaru frowned, raising his other hand, preparing to activate Kido.
"Hadō number…"
"Ice Dragon Tail Whip!"
Before Gin Ichimaru could release his Kido, Hitsugaya Tōshirō immediately struck with his blade.
A surge of spiritual pressure rapidly erupted from the tip of his sword, freezing everything in front of him indiscriminately.
Gin Ichimaru didn't want to take it head-on, so he hastily unleashed his spiritual pressure to shake off the chain wrapped around his blade, then used Flash Step to move away. The next second, the spot where he stood was engulfed in ice.
After taking multiple hits, Gin Ichimaru was visibly angered.
A faint killing intent began to emanate from him as he stared at Hitsugaya Tōshirō in mid-air, seemingly weighing something in his mind.
However, during their battle,
Fang Mo, who was watching from the side, still thought the situation wasn't exciting enough.
"Fighting! Fighting!" Fang Mo pulled out a box of popcorn from somewhere, munching and cheering on, "Gin-san, get him! Fuck him up!"
"You bastard…"
Hitsugaya Tōshirō turned his head toward Fang Mo, roaring angrily, "You think I'll let you leave here alive!?"
In Hitsugaya Toshiro's view, although Gin Ichimaru was the one who ordered Ryoko to kill Hinamori Momo and deserves to die, Ryoko, who actually committed the murder, also deserves to die. Seeing the other side even daring to watch the show, he was truly furious. He swung his sword and instantly shot out countless ice blades.
However, what Hitsugaya Toshiro didn't expect was that after seeing these ice blades, Fang Mo actually drew out a very beautiful crystal sword. He then raised his hand and swung, sending out ice blades just like Hitsugaya's, filling the sky.
Both sides' ice blades collided in mid-air, bursting into pieces and turning into countless ice shards.
"Hmm... it seems that your Zanpakuto is of the same type as my Snow Queen Sword," Fang Mo said, holding his crystal sword with a smile.
"What!?" Seeing this, Hitsugaya Toshiro widened his eyes in shock: "A Zanpakuto? How is that possible?"
"Is it hard to believe?" Fang Mo smiled at Hitsugaya Toshiro: "Do you still think you can kill us? My sword is the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto, and it can even change the weather..."
"You say..."
Hitsugaya Toshiro was about to say something when suddenly he felt a sense of impending danger all over his body.
"Shoot him, Divine Gun!"
Accompanying Gin Ichimaru's initial release, a white sword light shot at Hitsugaya Toshiro, piercing through his chest. But the next second, his figure suddenly turned into a piece of ice and shattered, revealing his true body not far behind.
"Gin Ichimaru..."
Hitsugaya Toshiro looked solemnly at Gin Ichimaru.
After the initial impulse, he had also come to his senses by now. It seems that the strength of these two people is indeed very strong, and fighting them two against one would be very troublesome. However, the Seireitei is currently under martial law. As long as he continues to exert his spiritual pressure, other captains should come to support him soon.
So as long as he can hold on, these two will be taken down by the other captains, avenging Hinamori Momo.
"What's wrong, young man? Why did you stop attacking us?" Unlike Hitsugaya Toshiro's solemnity, Fang Mo was very happy at this moment. He hoisted the Snow Queen Sword onto his shoulder and said with a smile, "Really not going to continue? Actually... hell is also a beautiful sight."
"Do you think you can trick me like this?" Hitsugaya Toshiro snorted. He had already changed his battle plan from taking down both of them alone to stalling them until other captains arrive: "You won't get a chance to defeat me."
"Oh, is that so?" Fang Mo smiled, then spoke again: "I think I forgot to tell you something. Captain Hitsugaya, when I came here, I not only took care of that woman named Hinamori... but also another woman."
"What did you say!?" Hitsugaya Toshiro was immediately startled.
"I don't know who she is, but she was walking with Hinamori, seeming to persuade her about something. I didn't bother and killed her too. She seemed to be calling your name before she died, that blonde woman... she should be your lieutenant, right?"
Fang Mo deliberately put on a smiling face: "She was very unwilling before she died, her eyes were open, muttering something. How about it? Is this news enough to make you despair?"
"You…"
Upon hearing this, Hitsugaya Toshiro was stunned.
Yes, the news was truly devastating. In an instant, the two people closest to him were killed by the Ryoko in front of him. This surreal feeling even made Hitsugaya Toshiro somewhat bewildered. Deep down, he almost wished the other person would say, "I'm just kidding, haha." However, he knew that was impossible. He felt as if he had lost his soul.
Before Hitsugaya Toshiro could recover, there was a sudden loud noise, and a shocking spiritual pressure burst out.
The next second, a chilling voice rang out.
"Bankai! Divine Killing Spear!"
Accompanying this voice, Hitsugaya Toshiro hadn't even reacted when a white light was already shot towards Fang Mo, who quickly raised his broadsword to block it.
"What?"
Seeing this scene, Hitsugaya Toshiro was stunned again. Why had they started fighting among themselves?
"Hey, hey, Gin-san, what are you doing?"
After blocking the divine spear, Fang Mo looked at Gin Ichimaru with a 'puzzled face' and couldn't help but ask, "I just killed a lieutenant, why are you going nuts?"
"Dance of Linked Blades!"
Gin Ichimaru had no intention of explaining or stopping. His usually smiling face now showed almost a rage-like expression, even his eyes were wide open.
As for the Zanpakuto in his hand, it extended and contracted multiple times in an instant, looking as if he was endlessly launching the Divine Killing Spear. The silver chains turned into a huge silver light curtain, enveloping Fang Mo.
"Damn it! My defenses are broken!"
Within the silver light, Fang Mo's surprised voice came out, "Hey, Gin-san, stop it, my defenses are broken, I'm poisoned… Where is my antidote?"
"Just die!"
Gin Ichimaru had no intention of stopping. He was almost exhausting himself, furiously activating his Bankai ability. The ground, walls, and the entire street were sliced and shattered, but he still had no intention of stopping.
"???"
As for Hitsugaya Toshiro, standing to the side.
He was completely dumbfounded.
Seeing Gin Ichimaru's frenzied attack on the Ryoko, a ludicrous idea suddenly came to Hitsugaya Toshiro's mind. Did Gin Ichimaru actually like Rangiku?
Otherwise, why did he start attacking his teammates like a madman after hearing the news?
Nevertheless, Hitsugaya Toshiro decided to deal with one problem at a time. Right now, this Ryoko had killed two of the people closest to him; this was already a blood feud. So, he raised his Zanpakuto, preparing to unleash his most powerful technique.
"Ice Heaven Hundred Flower Burial…"
However, just as Hitsugaya Toshiro was about to release his ultimate technique, a figure suddenly jumped out from not far away.
"I've finally found you…"
Hearing this familiar voice, Hitsugaya Toshiro trembled all over, then incredulously turned his head to look at the top of the courtyard wall.
At this moment, a very much alive Hinamori Momo was standing there.
