"Your Majesty, that shinigami is too arrogant. He doesn't take you seriously at all. He is not hitting my butt. He is clearly hitting your face!" The two people returned to Baraggan's throne room and began to cry and complain. On the throne sat a sturdy skeleton, emitting an ominous spiritual pressure. It was the Skeleton Emperor Baraggan.
"You still have the nerve to come back!" Baraggan waved his hand, and immediately the "guards" took the two humanoids away and executed them.
Baraggan gazed at the empire he had built. The biggest difference between him and the ordinary Hollow was that Baraggan had huge ambitions.
This kind of ambition is not only reflected in the desire for strength but also in the desire for power! This is quite rare in the Hollow World.
In fact, he discovered it the first time that Yamabuki and others arrived at Las Noches. However, in order to demonstrate his power, he did not go to see Yamabuki directly. Instead, he wanted Yamabuki, the shinigami, to meet him to satisfy his vanity. However, Yamabuki did not buy it.
"Humph! You dare to resist my orders? You are seeking death." Baraggan said as a cold light flashed through his hollow eyes.
Yamabuki 's disregard made him lose face, and Baraggan decided to humiliate this shinigami after catching him.
I heard that this shinigami has two companions. Let him and his companions kill each other, and say that only one person can leave alive!
Let me, the King of Hueco Mundo, take action myself. Is that considered giving you face?
As soon as Baraggan stood up, a large group of people followed him. He really enjoyed the feeling of being above everyone else.
On the other side, Yamabuki was ready to move from his position. Although he was arrogant just now, he knew in his heart that if he really alarmed Baraggan, it would be another tough battle.
"Brother Yamabuki, is the King of Hueco Mundo really that powerful? Even you have to run away?" asked Chōjirō.
"What do you know, kid? This is called a strategic shift, understand? Anyway, in two hours, victory will be ours."
It was the first time that Chōjirō saw someone boast about running away so openly, and he couldn't help but admire Yamabuki 's shamelessness.
However, the spiritual pressure of the shinigami is too obvious in Hueco Mundo, like a bright light in the darkness. Unless the opponent is blind, it is impossible not to feel it.
The three of them ran around Las Noches, but before they had gone far, two big Hollows blocked their way.
"Stop! His Majesty wants to see you!"
"I'm going to see your head!" Yamabuki drew his sword and stabbed it through the hollow's head. He then used a thunder cannon to kill another hollow and continued to run forward.
Just as the three were about to move forward, a corrupt and violent spiritual pressure descended from the sky, and the three stopped at the same time. Chōjirō and Yuan-Feng could not stand normally under this spiritual pressure and almost fainted. Yamabuki 's expression was also very solemn. There was probably only one person in Las Noches who could have this spiritual pressure, the Skeleton Emperor Baraggan.
This guy actually came here himself!
"Brother Yamabuki, this spiritual pressure... makes me feel so uncomfortable!" Chōjirō, he said with great difficulty.
Yamabuki didn't say anything, but his forehead was covered with sweat. Something was wrong! When he watched the anime before, Aizen led two people to break through the Hueco Mundo easily without any effort.
Why is it so difficult for me?
Suddenly, the spiritual pressure with the smell of decay became even more violent, and Chōjirō and Yuan-Feng, who were only at the level of team soldiers, almost collapsed to the ground and could not move.
A skeleton with a crown appeared in the sky, followed by countless ghosts in strange shapes and sizes, like a group of demons dancing wildly.
This is a big deal.
The reason why Yamabuki chose to stay in Hueco Mundo temporarily was that he bet that Baraggan would not care about him as a vice-captain, but he never expected that the king of Hueco Mundo would come in person.
Fight him? No way, you can't win!
Escape? In this situation... there is no escape, right?
"Shinigami, why don't you kneel down when you see me?" Baraggan asked harshly while sitting on the throne in midair. He was enjoying this.
"If I kneel down, will you let me live?"
"Of course not!" Baraggan looked at Yamabuki as if he were a bug. This shinigami did have some strength, and an ordinary Adjuchas might not be his opponent. However, as the pinnacle of the entire Hueco Mundo, he didn't need to take this little strength seriously. What he wanted was to play with the shinigami in front of him, and after playing with him enough, he would kill him bit by bit. This should be able to kill some time.
"That's it. You're not going to let us go anyway." Yamabuki smiled helplessly, then drew his sword and pointed it at Baraggan: "Come on, there's no point in talking anymore; let's fight!"
Huh,
Baraggan was stunned. Doesn't this guy know what fear is? Can't he feel the gap between the two sides? He actually wants to fight with him?
"Hahahaha!" Baraggan laughed loudly. "How dare you! Any of my men can easily slaughter you."
Yamabuki ignored the other party's ridicule and said calmly, "I heard that the position of the King of Hueco Mundo can only be occupied by someone strong. How about this: let's fight, and if I lose, the three of us will naturally stay here with you. If you lose, why don't you let me take the position of the King of Hueco Mundo!"
"Arrogant!!!" Baraggan roared; someone actually dared to take away the power in his hands!
"Why are you shouting so much. Just tell me in front of so many people, do you dare to accept my challenge? Of course, if you don't dare, just ignore what I said!" Yamabuki said with a mocking smile.
Barragan stared at the kid in front of him. He didn't look like a strong man at all. Moreover, it would be too embarrassing for him to refuse his challenge.
The battle against this little devil can be over in just one second.
"Hehehe! Well, since you're determined to die, just come over here!" Baraggan came down from the throne and landed about ten meters in front of Yamabuki.
' Good, this idiot took the bait. I will be able to leave Hueco Mundo in two hours. Of course, Baraggan doesn't know about this. I will win as long as I can hold it off for two hours'. Yamabuki thought with a smirk.
"I will try my best to delay time. There is one more thing. I will use some strange power in a while. You just pretend you didn't see it. After we return to Soul Society, you are not allowed to mention a word about it. Do you understand?" Yamabuki shouted in a low voice.
Chōjirō wanted to ask more, but Yuan-Feng held his head down and said, "Yes, Chief of Staff, we understand. No matter where we go, we won't ask a single question. Just treat us as blind."
As expected of someone who is in the aristocratic circle, he understands things so quickly.
"Come on! Little Death!" Baraggan took out his big axe and prepared to start fighting.
"Wait a minute!" Yamabuki said, "Give me 20 minutes to warm up. You don't want to be accused of winning unfairly, do you? I'll do a set of radio gymnastics! One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four..."
