You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

Yuki's expression changed slightly, and Iori's eyes became sharp.

"This spiritual pressure is..."

boom! ! !

A deep red beam of energy rose from one side of the camp and rushed up into the eternal night sky of Hueco Mundo, causing even the moon to lose its luster.

"It's a Void Flash, and this power..." Iori's face darkened, "It's definitely not an ordinary Achukas!"

-

On the outskirts of the camp, a group of Grim Reapers gritted their teeth and guarded the line, while their opponents were various types of Voids that were as numerous as a tide, as well as monsters that were much larger in size and had animal appearances.

Yachucas!

And there are five of them!

Although it was a good thing that Killian was not around, these five Achucas alone were more than they could handle.

What's more, this is not the most threatening target...

At the forefront of the group of death gods, the blindfolded Saito Fuuma was carrying a katana, slightly raising her head and looking down at the Hollow Tide with a disdainful attitude. At her feet was the skeleton of a gigantic Achukas.

Instant kill!

The five Achukas felt a chill in their hearts. Although they had tried their best to overestimate this enemy, they did not expect to lose a companion right at the beginning... and they did it right in front of their own eyes.

The information that bastard gave was wrong. How can this be "slightly better than Yachucas"? !

If we act alone, our safety cannot be guaranteed!

"Why, you're not going to continue?"

Saito glanced around with his eyes half lowered, then pointed back and pursed his lips.

"Don't just stand there, continue to perform your tasks, I'll take care of these small fry!"

"Saito-sama!?"

The leading Grim Reaper was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became anxious.

On a mission?

The original mission has been suspended. The current mission is to open the [Gate] and return to Soul Society... But if Saito stays here to resist the Hollow Tide, won't she be unable to go back?

"This is an order, hurry up and go!"

Without waiting for the people below to speak, Saito scolded them coldly, causing them to subconsciously step back.

"I'll be able to handle these ghosts after I deal with them. If you still can't open the door successfully before then... wait and see how I deal with you!"

"As you command, Lord Saito!"

As a veteran captain, the immortal has a very high prestige. Although the team members are worried, they have to carry out the mission.

At the same time, they also believed that with Saito's strength, even if he couldn't defeat these monsters, he could still escape successfully, and if they stayed here, they might even be held back...

And when these people disappeared under the cover of the night and the buildings, Saito Bulaobushi's forehead veins suddenly bulged, and she half-knelt down involuntarily. The captain's haori on her body fluttered, revealing her waist, and only then could people see an extremely hideous wound on her waist!

It was strange, the wound was obviously very deep, but no blood was flowing out... What was even more terrifying was that there was a trace of ominous black air lingering around the wound, which seemed to be spreading around, making the skin around the waist gradually turn pale.

"Damn it...it can't be cured..."

Saito frowned. She had decisively cut off the flesh around the wound, but she didn't expect that the faint remaining breath could still have such a bad effect.

However, those Yachukas were surprisingly quiet and did not launch a surprise attack on Saito. They seemed to be waiting for something.

After a moment, the answer was revealed:

Regardless of whether it was a miscellaneous void or a large void, all the beasts at this moment followed their instinctive reverence, and they all moved away and lowered their heads, and the entire void tide was divided into a large road in the middle!

In the avenue where the group of Voids were avoiding, several tall and strong Voids were carrying a simple but very heavy rock throne. And sitting on the throne that symbolized power was actually just a human-sized skeleton Void!

"Tsk!" Saito smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, "It really haunts me!"

Because of the previous attack on her camp, she suspected that there were more advanced Hollows in the depths of Hueco Mundo. Being so skilled and courageous, she chose to track them down alone...but she didn't expect that she would be tricked in return.

She was careless in this matter, but it was indeed beyond common sense:

In the beast-like void, there are actually individuals who can use spiritual technology!

Saito took into account the perception ability of the Hollow and used a special Kidō technique to hide his spiritual pressure, but he never expected that it would be detected by "technological means".

Then she was led to the great Hollow's lair called "Hollow Night Palace"...

Chapter 167: The Four Heavenly Kings Return for a Limited Time

"Hmph~

Even after being injured by me, it was able to escape from the Xuye Palace. Although it is an annoying rat, I have to say it is quite tenacious. "

He wore an old and gorgeous crown on his head, a golden badge that looked like an eye on his chest, and a graceful black robe. Although he was just a skeleton, he did not look skinny and fragile at all. Instead, he looked sturdy and majestic.

Soul Society and Hueco Mundo are both the "afterlife" in the secular sense. In a sense, the God of Death and Hollows can also be considered as "ghosts" and "evil spirits", but neither of them is more in line with the image of the "God of Death" than the King of Hollows in front of him.

The only difference between him and the Hades messenger in Western legends is a huge sickle.

Judging from the body size, not to mention compared with Yachukas, he is far inferior to even the ordinary Zaxu. At most, his skeleton is taller and stronger than that of ordinary people.

However, the strength of a Hollow is not determined by its size. In fact, the lowest-level Hollow, Killian, is the largest. When it evolves into Achukas, it will shrink in size and change into a beast form.

Then, a very small number of Achucas have the potential to evolve a second time. If the conditions are met, they will shrink again and transform into a "human form", leaving only some of the hollow characteristics.

In other words, the closer the Hollow's appearance is to that of a human, the stronger its strength (realm) will be!

Beyond the Achucas, humanoids like the Crowned Skull are generally called—

[Vastod]!

"You too, too persistent, biting like a wild dog~"

Despite being in an absolutely unfavorable situation, Saito Furuobushi mocked without hesitation: "You are putting on such a show... Do you feel a sense of accomplishment ruling a group of beasts?"

"How dare you! Watch your tone, Death!"

A beast-shaped Achucas said angrily: "Don't be rude in front of His Majesty Bylergan!"

As it said this, it took a step forward, and Saito's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Stop, Slimar."

At this time, Bylergan on the throne laughed and said, "If you move forward another ten meters, you will die under this man's sword, and even I can't stop him."

"Wha--your majesty?"

Yachukas was startled, then turned his head and looked at Saito deeply.

It instinctively thought that the seriously injured Grim Reaper in front of it posed no threat, but when it thought about it carefully, this woman was able to escape after fighting with the "King" in Xuyaku Palace, and many of her compatriots died at her hands. She was definitely not a simple person.

In addition, Bylergan has always been revered as a god in the hearts of these great voids, so this Yachukas subconsciously believed the judgment of the "king".

Seeing that Yachukas was no longer approaching, Saito made an unhappy "tsk".

Bylergan seemed to be in a good mood. He did not let the thousands of Hollows under his command rush forward to overwhelm Saito, but instead chatted leisurely.

“I haven’t seen Death for a while.

The scenery of this world remains unchanged, and it always looks like this. There are too few things to have fun with. I haven't left Xuye Palace for almost a hundred years... Feel honored, right? This time, we have mobilized a large force just for you, God of Death."

Actually, this was all thanks to Sal Apollo, the great hollow that Saito Fuuma was tracking before.

Like Bylergan, Sal Apollo is also a highest-level Hollow at the level of [Vastod], but the main direction of his evolution is not combat power, and he himself does not have a strong desire to fight. Instead, he is very interested in studying things such as "perfect life" and "the essence of the world". He is a rare scholar in the Hueco Mundo.

As a king, Bylergan has absolute confidence in his own strength. Even individuals who are also [Vastod] are included in his recruitment, and he will not suppress them even if they are rejected.

Sar Apollo did not have the potential and ambition to become a "king", so he accepted Bylergan's invitation without any psychological burden and used the resources of the Kyon Palace to advance his research.

Previously, he had driven a group of Hollows to attack the expeditionary camp with the aim of obtaining the body of the God of Death and studying this spirit that was completely different from the Hollow.

But he didn't expect Saito to see through the clues and track him down... If he acted alone, he would be in real trouble.

Fortunately, he discovered it in advance with some small props, and easily lured it into the trap - Xuye Palace.

That is the palace of Bylergan. Although the palace is not very magnificent, it does gather countless creatures of all kinds, as well as more than ten-digit Yachukas!

If Soul Society knew about this force and wanted to conquer it, they would have to send out at least four or five divisions to have enough confidence. From this point of view, Bylergan can indeed be called the "King of Hueco Mundo".

Now, the king has become interested in Saito who escaped from his hands. He rarely left the Xuye Palace and came to the expeditionary camp with some of his men... It is obvious what he wants to do.

The relationship between the Hollow and the God of Death is nothing more than killing and being killed.

“After being wounded by my weapon, even if I cut off the infected part in time, it is impossible for me to escape from you again.

You are destined to fall into the abyss of death, which is as irreversible as the flow of time. "

Bylergan knew that Saito was the last one to leave, and there was a group of Grim Reapers in the camp who were preparing to evacuate, but he didn't care about those small characters. From beginning to end, the only one who could attract his attention was a captain-level strongman like Saito.

He held his head and said calmly: "With your strength, you should be able to do that, right? That's the God of Death's...um, is it called Bankai?

Yes! Bankai!

Well, show it to me, this may be your last chance."

Swastika?

Saito gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold murderous intent.

Seeing this, Byakugan said unhappily, "Why, is your injury so serious that you can't even use your Bankai?"

"Pretending!"

Saito took a deep breath, stood up with the help of his sword, then drew the blade and pointed it at the other party like a ronin.

"My head is right here, come and take it if you can!"

"Ah!"

Bylergan waved his hands indifferently. Since Saito didn't use his Bankai, he had no interest in finishing off a seriously injured soldier.

"Hoohoho!"

"hold head high--!"

The virtual tide suddenly surged, and the virtual creatures of various shapes and sizes roared together, attacking Saito in the noisy waves.

At the same time, the ground cracked and tens of thousands of tons of yellow sand fell like a waterfall. Tall Killians emerged from the sand, opened the big mouths on their bone masks, and let out extremely penetrating roars.

It is worth mentioning that the Yachukas stayed beside Bylergan and had no intention of attacking together.

This is because Bylergan, as a king, values ​​the lives of his subordinates more. The number of Achukas in the entire Hueco Mundo is not large, so he naturally cannot throw them away at will. As for Killian and Miscellaneous Hollows, he has as many as he wants, but they are not even qualified to be his subjects. At most, they are just cannon fodder.

Saito is almost dead, but he will still fight like a trapped beast. Maybe he will unleash some amazing moves before his death. It would be too not worth it if he were to take away a few Yachukas.

The most reliable solution is to use an endless number of Voids and Killians to consume her as much as possible.

Saito saw through Bylergan's plan, but she was indeed unable to challenge the entire group of Hollows under such circumstances, which included a Vastod that was as powerful as her, and several Achukas...not to mention the mysterious Vashu (Saar Apollo) who was plotting against her, who might also be hiding in the dark.

Am I going to die? Saito looked up at the Hollows that were rushing towards him like a swarm of ants, with neither joy nor sadness in his eyes.

"Then I'll show you... Collapse, [Fei Lian Huang]!"

With a low roar, the reserved spiritual pressure was finally released, and the hexagonal-hilted Zanpakutō in Saito's hand turned into a wild sword between purple and white, and its length even exceeded Saito's own height.

Zheng!

It was like a thin silk thread passing by, and Xu, who was quietly approaching from behind, was suddenly stunned.

Zheng!

Zheng!

Zheng!

The body flashed continuously, and the wild sword of astonishing length turned into an uncatchable thin line that kept jumping, crossing a distance of nearly 100 meters in a breath. Dozens of virtual swords of different shapes were frozen in place.

As the purple-white blade reflected the waning moon in the sky, Saito used instant step again to disappear after accumulating spiritual pressure a little, and the miscellaneous hollows behind him were either cut in half or cut in half at the same time!

Her instant step was already extremely fast, and it became even more amazing after her initial release. Not only could the Voids just wait to be killed, even the Killians and Achukas could not catch sight of her.

call!

Passing these Hollows, Saito had no other target in his eyes and went straight to the only Vastod at the scene - Bylergan.

"hateful!"

Some speed-type Achukas wanted to intercept, but they were easily broken through by Saito. The two sides didn't even have any contact. The One-eyed Grim Reaper just played with them and left them behind, driving straight into the group of Hollows.

"Interesting... No shots allowed."
