Chapter 575: Quincy Overcoming Weaknesses

Haiyan was a little annoyed by the unknown enemy who suddenly appeared in front of him. This was partly because of his superior attitude, but more because of the other party's attitude.

In Haiyan's mind, the word "prey" should not appear between the Shinigami and the Quincy. Although he had not experienced the war with the Quincy, he still felt from the bottom of his heart that the two sides had other ways of coexisting besides war.

In fact, it was not just him. There were also many Shinigami in the Soul Society who held this attitude. Even some other people only knew that the hostility between the two sides was inevitable, instead of calling the Quincy "prey" like livestock.

Of course, just a name cannot fully represent a person's attitude. For example, battle fanatics like Kenpachi Zaraki would also regard the target as prey, but in their eyes, they might just be a beast to be hunted. Haiyan could feel more of their yearning and enthusiasm for fighting.

But the person in front of him was not like that. He spoke with a playful tone, as if he was looking at a bird in a cage flapping its wings but unable to fly out with joy. All of this showed how bad his attitude towards death was.

And if this attitude was not an isolated case, I am afraid Hongjiang was right again this time. A threatening existence is not necessarily an enemy, but a guy with a hostile attitude is definitely an enemy!

"Who are you?"

"Objection." These two words seemed to be the man's catchphrase. He pointed at Haiyan and said slowly: "You are not qualified to know my name. Besides, I asked you first."

"No, I am not interested in knowing your meaningless name. For me, whether you are the vice-captain is more important."

"No, no!" The man shook his head and grinned like a madman. "It doesn't matter whether you are the vice-captain or not. It's enough that you are not the captain!"

"Enough to disappoint people!!"

It's disappointing, but it gives people an extremely excited feeling. The sharp knife light flashed, and the next moment the man suddenly jumped up. The ecstatic face bloomed in front of Haiyan in an instant. A knight's sword pierced straight over with the momentum of breaking the wind, almost touching Haiyan's chest.

When the man appeared, Haiyan held the hilt with his right hand after he distanced himself from him, but the opponent's attack was sudden and fast, which made Haiyan unable to pull out his Zanpakuto in time.

In the crisis, Haiyan held the scabbard with his left hand and lifted it up, just blocking the tip of the opponent's sword.

Bang! The wooden scabbard was shattered by the stab. Haiyan changed his left hand to a palm and pressed it against the blade. He held the handle tightly with his right hand and pushed it hard towards the opponent. Unfortunately, such a hasty counterattack did not work. Although he was not injured by the stab, he was still stabbed and flew away.

The man did not stop after the attack was effective. He stepped on his right foot and continued to chase after him. The knight sword in his hand swept across the opponent's neck.

"Let the water and sky roll back, twist the flower!"

Haiyan roared, and the Zanpakuto in his hand turned into a three-pronged spear. The spear shaft just blocked the long sword that was slashing horizontally.

Although he was not stable, the opponent's horizontal slash this time also did not have the momentum of the previous stab. It was a bit reluctant, but he still took the slash steadily.

Then Haiyan lowered his body, and the long spear was pointed at the knight sword, and the tip of the spear hit the opponent firmly with the water waves.

The man looked down as if he was a little surprised. He did not choose to take the attack head-on. He stepped back with his heels and reached for the package on his waist with his left hand. He took out a crossbow from the package and pulled the trigger. Three arrows shot at the opponent's head and two knees.

The water waves swung by Haiyan's spear pushed forward like a wall, and hit the three arrows in the blink of an eye.

However, the arrows shot were not only fast, but also had strong penetration. The thick water wall almost did not cause any obstacles to them and opened three big holes. It continued to attack Haiyan at the same speed.

Haiyan had no choice but to stab three times quickly to dissolve the three arrows. However, his body would tremble slightly every time he took an arrow. After the third stab, his hands holding the spear shaft were slightly painful.

To be honest, just these few times, the somewhat crazy Quincy in front of him gave him a big shock.

Before the action, Hong Jiang said that this group of hidden Quincies were different from the past, and they could not be compared with the old impressions of the past.

It was easy to say this, but how could it be easy to completely abandon the impression in one's heart.

In Haiyan's current life, he had no experience of fighting against Quincies, but whether it was the appearance of Ishida Uryu or the long history of the Shiba family, he had a certain understanding of Quincies.

As far as he knew, the fighting style of Quincies was very different from that of Shinigami. Unlike Shinigami who mainly fought with their own spiritual power, Quincies used their ability to attract spirit particles from the outside world to fight.

This to a certain extent led to the fact that most of the spirit bodies of Quincies were not as good as Shinigami, and also determined that their fighting style was mainly based on long-range means, or more accurately, fighting with spirit particle arrows.

But the unknown Quincy in front of him almost fundamentally reversed this impression. The first stab and slash were fast and powerful, and the movements were clean and neat, not inferior to any vice-captain of the Gotei 13. It was more than enough to call him a close combat expert.

You know, most Quincy would try their best to avoid close combat. Haiyan also thought that the one in front of him might be one of them.

But the next three arrows completely dispelled his idea. The speed was so fast and the spirit arrows had excellent penetrating ability. This was what the Quincy was best at.

And no matter how you look at it, the other party shot these three arrows in a very casual state. Haiyan had no doubt that he could shoot stronger arrows than just now. Even as a Quincy, it was normal for him to be able to shoot stronger arrows than just now.

To summarize the existing information, the Quincy in front of him had excellent long-range means and good melee ability. It can be said that he had overcome the biggest flaw of the Quincy itself.

And the question now is, is such a Quincy an exception or can it represent the whole?

At the same time, what level is his existence in the Invisible Empire? Taking the Gotei 13 as an example, is he the captain or the vice-captain?

Even the other party's status may not have reached that level, but just equivalent to the third seat, fourth seat or other officers in the 13th team?

If this is the case, it will be troublesome. Haiyan knows that the other party did not try his best just now. If there are many people like this, the Invisible Empire will be terrible and unimaginable in terms of overall and cutting-edge combat power.

At the same time, everyone, including Hong Jiang, is probably in an extremely dangerous situation.

This is a more dangerous place than Seireitei.
