Chapter 168: Defeated Mayuri

"If I say yes, what can you do?"

Mazuru met Mayuri's eyes and said calmly.

Mayuri was taken aback for a moment, and then anger flashed in his eyes, but he restrained himself. He glanced at Uryuu and Orihime, then he seemed to think of something, "You want to help this group of Ryoka?"

Mazuru did not responded to Mayuri's question.

Mayuri didn't care, "Whether it's true or not, I have decided that I'm going to make this two my test subjects. Even if you are the captain of the Third Division, you can't stop me!"

Mayuri immediately used Shunpo and used Ashisogi Jizō to attack Mazuru.

"Your Shunpo..."

Mazuru's figure flashed away and appeared next to Mayuri. He waved the crimson Zanpakuto in his hand, and the arm holding Ashisogi Jizō flew out along with it. With Mayuri's scream, Mazuru's follow-up of the previous sentence continued, "Is… too slow."

Mayuri was horrified, he didn't expect Mazuru's speed to be so fast and one of his arms would be cut off in one encounter. Moreover his Zanpakuto fell off along with the severed arm.

…

Uryuu and Orihime, who were watching from the sidelines, were also surprised.

They were surprised that Mazuru chose to help them at first, although the previous time, according to Yoruichi, he helped them because of his old relationship with the Thirteenth division, but that was already benevolent enough. They didn't expect him to continue to help them.

Moreover, the battle between Mazuru and Mayuri was beyond their expectations.

When they were at the Shiba house, Kaein specially trained them and they had seen Kaein's power. In Kaein's words, he was just a vice-captain, and above him were the captains.

The captains of Gotei 13 are the thirteen strongest shinigami among all the shinigamis in the entire Soul Society.

Mayuri, the captain of the Twelfth Division, has shown his strong powers since he appeared on the stage, but in front of Mazuru, his arm was cut off in an instant.

…

Because his arm was cut off, Mayuri was inevitably a little angry, but he didn't continued to scream hoarsely, but looked at Mazuru and said, "As expected of the captain of the Third Division, the strength is indeed not weak."

Then, he took out a reagent from his body, and immediately punched himself down. The original severed arm squirmed, and immediately, a new arm was born in its place.

When the severed arm flew out, the vice-captain of the Twelfth Division who followed Mayuri to the vicinity, the artificial shinigami, Nemu created by Mayuri, had already came to the severed arm which was holding the Zanpakuto. She picked up the severed arm and then threw it towards Mayuri.

Mayuri held the severed arm and took the Zanpakuto from it.

Knowing that he was more of a scientist rather than fighter, it was impossible for him to hold back when facing Mazuru, so after he got back his Zanpakuto, Mayuri didn't hesitate to go all out.

"Bankai"

"Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō"

In an instant, Mayuri's reiatsu began to soar, and at the same time the Zanpakuto in his hand turned into a giant golden worm, looking like a giant silkworm baby.

"Bankai? How could his power…?"

Uryuu was about to rush to Orihime's side, but when he heard Mayuri's words, he couldn't help but pause and his face became horrified.

As if hearing Uryuu's doubts, Mayuri explained, "The so-called bankai is Zanpakuto's second-stage liberation, which is its ultimate liberation. To become a captain of Gotei 13, there is a prerequisite, which is to master bankai."

"Zanpakuto has a second-stage release?"

Uryuu was startled by what Mayuri said, but then he saw the huge golden worm baby that appeared after Mayuri's activation of bankai opened its mouth, and spewed poisonous mist, spreading everywhere, instantly overwhelming the surrounding environment and shrouding it.

"Not good!"

Uryuu came back to his senses and realized that the poisonous fog was extremely dangerous.

Just when he was thinking about how to avoid the poisonous mist. He saw a layer of crimson shield floating in front of him, and then covering his body, Uryuu was startled, and then he found that it not only appeared around his body, but also appeared around Orihime, and the incapacitated shinigami of the Eleventh Division whose name was still unknown.

The crimson shield looked thin, but it was proved extremely reliable, as it blocked all the poisonous fog from harming them.

The crimson shield also appeared around Mazuru's body, blocking the poisonous mist.

Mayuri was surprised, he didn't expect Mazuru to be able to easily break his poisonous mist without using bankai. Apart from surprise, it was annoyed him a little.

He looked at Nemu near Mazuru, and immediately ordered, "Hold him!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Nemu rushed to Mazuru, intending to restrict his movements.

Mazuru on the other side, perhaps he had lost his mind, as he really let Nemu restrict him.

Then dozens of giant blades stained with venom appeared from the chest of the golden Ashisogi Jizō, and it quickly came to Mazuru's side, and attacked him mercilessly. Even though its attack will hurt Nemu, Mayuri didn't cared at all.

In an instant, the huge poisonous blade pierced through Nemu, and stabbed at the crimson shield in front of Mazuru, the fragile mask instantly shattered, and the poisonous blade pierced Mazuru's body.

"Hehehe... I still won in the end."

Mayuri laughed out loud.

Uryuu and Orihime, who were shrouded in the crimson shield, had bad expressions. They didn't expect Mazuru to lose so soon. Uryuu was about to remove the Sanrei Glove left by his grandfather to use the Letzt Stil, which will allow him to enter the ultimate form of quincy for a short time at the cost of losing all his quincy powers after that 

But then he saw Mazuru's body fading suddenly.

'Afterimage?!'

Then, Mazuru's body emerged beside Mayuri.

"Although she was created by you and you gave her life, but you don't take her life seriously at all."

Mazuru's calm voice sounded.

Mayuri's pupils froze.

Mazuru swung his Zanpakuto, and then a sword pressure flew out, destroying half of Mayuri's body.

With the destruction of this half of his body, Mayuri gave Mazuru a bitter look, and then took the initiative to release the bankai, and stabbed his own Zanpakuto on his body. Then his body turned into a mass of liquid which seemed to want to escape.

Mazuru was just about to intercept Mayuri, but after thinking about it, they all belonged to Gotei 13 after all, so he simply let him go.

Thus, Mayuri was able to escape.

Mazuru ignored Mayuri's departure, turned his head, and glanced at Nemu, who was seriously injured. Because Nemu was an artificially-made shinigami made by Mayuri, and god knows how many things are stored in her body, so she was not afraid of Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō's poison, but the injuries on her body were real.

Mazuru swung his sword, and the crimson threads wrapped around Nemu's body, healing her injuries.

Then, the crimson shield covering Uryuu and Orihime, helping them to block the poisonous mist spit also disappeared under Mazuru's control.

Immediately, Uryuu couldn't help but ask Mazuru, "Why do you help us?"

"I was entrusted by someone." Mazuru glanced at Uryuu, "Someone asked me to take care of you."
