Hand Union Headquarters.
Located in a secret room underground.
Five slender figures swayed in the dim candlelight.
"Someone broke in..."
"It's that blind man and the woman who came last time, and someone we don't recognize."
"What do we do?"
"The ritual is underway, it absolutely cannot be interrupted!"
"Send everyone to stop them!"
As the discussion ended, the candlelight gradually dimmed and went out, and the five figures disappeared back into the darkness.
...
"Something's not right."
The moment he stepped into the Hand Union, Matt, with his exceptionally keen senses, immediately noticed something was wrong, and warned, "Lord Haschwalth, please be careful, this place gives me a very bad feeling!"
Ever since stepping into the Hand Union headquarters, a familiar darkness enveloped him, allowing Matt's other senses to reach their limit!
But because of his developed senses, Matt felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, as if a pair of eyes were secretly observing them in the dark!
Jessica nodded with a solemn expression, she also felt an ominous aura.
Just then!
A sharp katana suddenly pierced out from the darkness.
Clang!
Matt reacted quickly, raising his arm and holding his cane horizontally in front of his chest, blocking the deadly blow!
But the next second!
Several katanas formed an encircling formation, piercing towards him with unparalleled sharpness!
There was no panic on Matt's face, the surrounding darkness did not affect his movements, instead, it made him feel like he had returned to a familiar environment, narrowly dodging the katanas.
Click!
With a crisp sound, Matt's cane suddenly broke in half from the middle, and holding one section of the cane in each hand, he thrust them out like lightning!
Bang! Bang!
The smooth tip of the cane pierced directly into the ninja's throat.
Two streams of blood immediately gushed out like fountains, the two people covered their throats in horror, trying to stop the blood from flowing out, but their eyes gradually dimmed, and finally they fell down.
"Ah..."
Matt's expression changed slightly, a trace of intolerance flashed in his eyes, and finally it could only be turned into a sigh.
Jessica on the other side also encountered an attack!
Seven or eight ninjas wearing black tights, as if fused with the surrounding darkness, launched an attack from the shadows!
Their target was Lord!
Perhaps because Jessica and Matt unconsciously protected him, these ninjas subconsciously felt that Lord was the easiest to bully!
Seven or eight cold and gleaming sword tips pierced towards Lord, only a few centimeters away, in the eyes of those ninjas, he was already a dead man!
"How dare you!"
Jessica's pupils suddenly shrank, erupting with terrifying killing intent, and punched the ground with all her strength!
Boom!
The huge force instantly shattered the ground within a three-meter radius, and pieces of broken tiles, like hidden weapons, were wrapped in the bursting gale and shot accurately at the ninjas!
Puff puff puff...
The ninjas were instantly pierced by the bullet-like gravel, their bodies were covered with holes like a rag, and blood splattered like it was free!
During this time, the expression on Lord's face did not change in the slightest, as if he had expected this scene long ago.
The next moment.
Jessica quickly took off her coat, shook it vigorously to unfold it, and covered Lord's head like a curtain.
Whoosh whoosh ~
All the falling blood was blocked by Jessica's clothes, not a single drop of blood fell on him.
Jessica lowered her head, her tone mixed with a trace of anger: "I almost let those dirty blood stain you, Lord.
It's my fault."
Lord: "..."
Hey hey hey!
This act is a bit too much, he is not Aizen!
Jessica didn't care about these, in her eyes, Haschwalth was the 'sun', and anyone who dared to defile him would die!
"Roar——"
Suddenly, a roar like a beast came from the darkness!
Then the next second, a small figure rushed out like a swift cannonball, and the pair of blood-red pupils, clearly visible in the darkness, exuded a strong and terrifying killing intent!
"Careful!"
Black Sky's speed was extremely fast, instantly crossing Jessica and Matt's defense line, and then punched Lord!
Bang!
After a muffled loud noise, Black Sky's tyrannical eyes froze slightly.
That person.....
Actually blocked his fist with one finger!
"You... you actually hurt him!"
Jessica's eyes turned blood red, "I'll kill you, I'll kill you!!!"
With an angry roar, Jessica suddenly felt as if some kind of shackle in her body had been opened. An unprecedented force emerged from the depths of her soul!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
The spirit particles wandering in the atmosphere instantly gathered at a speed visible to the naked eye, setting off a miniature tornado around Jessica!
"You... dare to defile Lord with your dirty hands!"
Jessica was furious, her spiritual power frantically gathering in her hands, gradually condensing into shape, and turning into a huge crossbow!
"This is... a spirit bow?"
Lord's eyes lit up, this was an unexpected surprise.
He didn't expect that Jessica would actually comprehend the high-level combat technique of Quincy manipulating spirit particles to condense into weapons under the blessing of anger!
Zheng——
Jessica pulled the huge spirit crossbow with both hands, her killing intent in her eyes seemed to materialize.
Buzz!
Although Black Sky was not very intelligent, he could clearly feel the great threat that the woman posed to him!
Thump!
Black Sky suddenly stomped on the ground, his whole body curled up and jumped back, trying to escape back into the darkness.
"Die, trash!"
Sacred Destruction Arrow!
Countless arrows condensed from spiritual power were shot out like a rainstorm, covering the entire hall in an instant!
Puff puff puff...
Those ninjas hiding in the dark had never seen such a terrifying scene, and they didn't even have room to dodge, they were shot into sieves!
Under the Sacred Destruction Arrow, even though Black Sky had a 'beast' possessing him, he couldn't help but scream repeatedly, his body was pierced with several holes, and he staggered back into the shadows.
Blood spread and flowed on the ground like a river, making this place look as terrifying as a purgatory.
"Hoo..."
Jessica breathed out, the killing intent in her eyes slightly diminished.
"Jessica... you're being too ruthless." Matt's eyelids twitched wildly, and he couldn't help but scold in a low voice.
"Is that so?."
Jessica turned around, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at Matt, and said word by word: "I don't think I'm being too heavy-handed, blame them for being blind and attacking Lord Haschwalth!"
"But..."
Matt was about to retort a few words when he saw the spirit bow in Jessica's hand was already aimed at him!
"You, are not loyal!"
Jessica said word by word.
Her eyes... were serious!
A chill instantly invaded his whole body, and Matt's heart suddenly stopped.
If he continued to speak, then the next second he would be shot into a hornet's nest by Jessica without mercy, just like those ninjas!
This scene!
Lord felt that if he didn't come out again, I'm afraid that the newly recruited Stern Ritter would only have one person left!
"Alright, Jessica."
Lord came out to smooth things over in a timely manner, and said gently: "Matt doesn't mean anything else, you don't need to be serious."
"Yes, Lord Haschwalth."
Jessica put down the spirit bow, her eyes still cold, as if warning Matt.
"What's going on..."
A bitter look appeared on Matt's face, he was just a little bit unbearable, and he was almost shot into a hornet's nest, who could stand this!
Here you can see a little difference.
Jessica regards Haschwalth as the 'sun' and can execute orders without hesitation, and can even abandon moral principles for him!
But on the other hand, Matt's belief in Haschwalth is based on his own cognition and principles, and he will first consider whether it violates his own heart.
Therefore.
Jessica, who was wholeheartedly protecting Lord just now, is more likely to accept Haschwalth, thus awakening the true power of the Quincy.
But Matt is slightly worse, he has not yet realized the true power of the Quincy, and is still fighting with his previous experience.
Lord doesn't want to comment too much on the two, but if Matt doesn't grow to his satisfaction in the long run, then he can only recycle the soul fragments in Matt's body.
The Stern Ritter doesn't need people without ability!
