Hitsugaya Toshiro is indeed a prodigy, but due to his young age, he hasn't been able to fully realize his potential. So whether it's spiritual pressure, Zanpakuto, Kido, or combat experience, he's far from matching Gin Ichimaru, let alone Fang Mo who is standing by.
So if he really dares to step forward, he will undoubtedly be double-teamed by these two smiling monsters.
Just as Hitsugaya Toshiro was about to charge forward, suddenly a woman with long orange hair ran over from a distance and also shouted, "Captain! Hinamori!"
Seeing this woman with long orange hair, the killing intent on Gin Ichimaru disappeared instantly.
Hitsugaya Toshiro, who was about to charge forward, also hesitated. So not only Hinamori was not killed by the Ryoko, even Rangiku Matsumoto is fine? Damn that Ryoko, it turns out he was lying to himself all along.
However, he quickly reacted and shouted, "Don't come over! Rangiku!"
Hitsugaya Toshiro, holding his Zanpakuto, warned, "That Ryoko is very dangerous! Quickly notify others!"
"What? He is that Ryoko…"
Rangiku Matsumoto also hesitated, but her gaze quickly moved to Gin Ichimaru beside Fang Mo. She seemed to not believe that Gin would actually be working with the Ryoko.
Of course, even Gin is a bit uncertain now.
Though he's still smiling, his smile has become a bit stiff, as if he's hiding his true thoughts behind that smile.
"What? Falling in love again?"
Fang Mo, seeing this, directly ridiculed him, "Look at Hinamori on the ground. You wouldn't want to lie there like a lap dog too, would you?"
"…"
Gin Ichimaru didn't speak.
But his silence doesn't mean Fang Mo won't act.
Suddenly, he swung his sword forward, the power of the Snow Queen began to fluctuate, sending a swirl of snowflakes and ice shards indiscriminately freezing everything in its path.
"Be careful! Rangiku!"
Seeing this, Hitsugaya Toshiro immediately used Flash Step to charge over, then raised his long sword, and a huge ice wall emerged from the ground, attempting to block Fang Mo's attack.
"Hey, you…"
Upon seeing that Rangiku Matsumoto had even attacked, Gin Ichimaru furrowed his brow momentarily.
"Don't worry, someone will help block it."
Fang Mo smiled at Gin Ichimaru, "As for you, you haven't finished explaining yet."
"Then get to the point," Gin Ichimaru hurriedly said.
"You just continue to follow Aizen. Pretend nothing has happened. The Hogyoku is still incomplete. I'll act after Aizen goes to Hueco Mundo. For now, continue being a mole," Fang Mo told Gin Ichimaru, "You don't have to worry about me. I just want to have some more fun."
"Mm, I understand."
Gin Ichimaru simply nodded his head, then said, "So... should you hit me now?"
"No, why does everyone here like getting hit?" Upon hearing this, Fang Mo could hardly hold back his laughter and rubbed his forehead, "Tosen Kaname was the same before, and so are you. Before coming to Soul Society, I'd never heard of such a request. Do you get addicted to punches? Are you also a masochist?"
"I have no choice; it's better than being suspected by Aizen..."
Saying this, Gin Ichimaru once again mustered his spiritual pressure, then launched an attack on Fang Mo, "Shoot to kill him, Shinso."
A flash of silver light shot out instantly.
However, this time, Fang Mo directly caught the blade with one hand and pushed it aside.
The extended Shinso directly pierced through a building, then made a swipe to the side, cutting the top half of the building into two sections. Accompanied by intense shaking, the upper half of the building slowly slid to the side and then crashed onto the ground, gradually collapsing amid a tremendous rumble.
Before Gin Ichimaru could react,
Fang Mo had already stepped towards him. He followed up with a punch to the abdomen, and with a 'plop' sound, the punch pierced right through his abdomen, causing blood to spurt wildly.
After suffering such a heavy blow, Gin Ichimaru immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
To be honest, that punch felt like it shattered his intestines. He didn't expect the opponent to be so strong that he couldn't even block a single punch. In pain, he couldn't help but slowly raise his head: "You... are... too cruel..."
Just then,
The ice wall not far away also disappeared.
Rangiku Matsumoto happened to see the moment where Gin Ichimaru was punched through by Fang Mo.
"Gin!!"
This time, she couldn't care less and rushed up without thinking. At the same time, two enormous spiritual pressures were rapidly closing in.
Fang Mo glanced at the mini-map in Steve's field of vision and roughly confirmed the identities of the opponents.
The next second, a petite figure rushed over, golden spikes at her fingertips aiming straight for Fang Mo's chest. Simultaneously, another flashy figure appeared in mid-air.
"Cutting Ghost!"
The figure in the air shouted, then descended wielding two large swords.
"Oh, two more delivery boys," Fang Mo chuckled and activated the teleportation feature of his Void Ring. The weapon of the second squad captain, Soifon, brushed past his afterimage, and the eighth squad captain, Kyōraku Shunsui, looked startled for a moment.
Then he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding and instinctively looked up.
"A Zanpakuto with rule-based abilities, so it's about who's higher up, huh?" Fang Mo laughed and slashed at Kyōraku Shunsui below.
Due to his own Zanpakuto's rule-based abilities, Kyōraku Shunsui was at a disadvantage. Even though he raised his sword in defense, he felt an overwhelming force coming at him. His defensive stance instantly broke, and he was slashed on his scapula, plummeting to the ground, blood spewing out.
After defeating Kyōraku Shunsui with one slash, Fang Mo hovered in mid-air and intentionally switched to taunt mode.
"Weak, weak, weak!"
Fang Mo looked at the Shinigami below and channeled his inner Oscar actor: "Is this all the captains of Seireitei have got? At this rate, I don't even need to wait for His Majesty to recover his power; I alone can flatten the entire Soul Society!"
"When the time comes, I'll turn your heads into fireworks as tribute to the rebirth of the Quincy King!"
"Who the hell are you?!"
Soifon from below looked at Fang Mo and couldn't help but shout.
"I am the Vanguard Grand Commander of the Wandenreich, Lan Lan Lu! My Schrift is 'M', the embodiment of the Soul King's testicles!" Fang Mo deliberately spread his arms and shouted, "The glory of the Quincies shall be restored! God Emperor above!"
"Mere Quincies..."
Second Squad Captain Soifon gritted his teeth: "The guy who killed the fifth squad captain, you think Seireitei will let you go?"
"Sorry, which fifth squad are we talking about?"
Fang Mo looked down and asked, "I've killed too many captains, can't remember them all."
"It's Captain Aizen! Captain Aizen!" Hinamori Momo, who had been unconscious, woke up at some point. Hearing Fang Mo's words, she somehow found the strength to shout, "Brown hair, wearing glasses, killed... killed by his own Zanpakuto pinned to a high wall... was it you?!"
"..."
Fang Mo looked at Hinamori Momo speechlessly, sighing in his heart that she truly lived up to her reputation as the strongest shield in the Soul Society. Perhaps she was so afraid of pain that she invested all her attributes in defense, leaving no points for intelligence. She was still thinking about Aizen at a time like this. He didn't know whether to call her pitiful or foolish.
"Sorry, I didn't pin any captains to the wall."
Shaking his head, Fang Mo spoke directly: "As far as I remember, I've only killed a blind man, a dog, a madman, a poser, and this squinty guy in front of you. As for Aizen... I really have no recollection."
"What?!"
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
Yes, aside from Hinamori Momo, everyone thought this was the work of the villain. However, now the person in question is denying it.
And it's not like he has any reason to lie. According to his logic, he is the vanguard of Quincy, aiming to kill the Shinigami of Gotei 13. If he did kill Aizen, he would consider it an honor and admit it.
Although... None of the captains he mentioned actually died; they were mostly saved by Squad 4 and Squad 12, and some have even fully recovered.
"What...what?!"
Upon hearing this, all of Hinamori Momo's hopes collapsed again. It seems that the letter from Aizen was indeed true, and the one who killed him was not the villain but Hitsugaya Toshiro.
But Hitsugaya is her childhood friend; they grew up together.
Torn between the dying wishes of the man she admired and her own childhood friend, Hinamori felt as if her heart was bleeding. She collapsed again and fainted.
"Hinamori!"
Hitsugaya quickly shouted and wanted to rush over, but at that moment, SoiFon suddenly yelled out.
"Captain Hitsugaya!"
SoiFon stared intently at Fang Mo but sternly said, "This is not the time for anything else; he has already defeated several captains. Do you want to turn your back on the enemy at this moment?!"
"..."
Hearing this, Hitsugaya shook and halted, turning to face Fang Mo in mid-air.
"We don't have to fight him directly; we just need to hold him off."
SoiFon spoke calmly, "The Head Captain is already on his way, along with several other captains. We will surely resolve this evil tonight!"
"Yes, I understand."
Hitsugaya nodded gravely.
"Shunpo!" Soi Fon didn't hesitate and activated her special skill, a combination of Kido and Hakuda. It was somewhat similar to the Body Flicker Technique in Naruto and complemented her Zanpakuto abilities.
"Captain Hitsugaya, please support me with your abilities; I'll try to hold him off as much as I can..."
Soi Fon's entire body was filled with an astonishing flow of energy, and her back, arms, and shoulders were tightly wrapped in concentrated Kido. Her body tensed up, seemingly ready to burst at any moment.
Soi Fon was very confident in her speed. With Hitsugaya's Bankai, the strongest ice Zanpakuto Bankai, to assist her, they should be able to delay the enemy until the Head Captain and other captains arrive.
However, reality was harsh. Before she could engage Fang Mo, the sound of ice shattering came from behind her.
Without thinking, she glanced back, only to see the last ice flower behind Hitsugaya had completely shattered.
Yes, the duration of his Bankai had run out; the ice wings, tail, and armor all broke at the same time, and his spiritual pressure decreased sharply.
"..."
Seeing this, Soi Fon was immediately stunned.
