Chapter 718 Heart
Just when Robert was afraid of being killed by Hongjiang who suddenly appeared, Hongjiang felt a little regretful in his heart that he could not kill Robert with one sword.
For him, although Robert's strength was not to be feared, relying on the extremely flexible ability of God's Step, it would take a certain amount of time to kill the opponent, and time was exactly what Hongjiang did not want to give the opponent at this moment.
So at the moment when Robert appeared, Hongjiang swung another sword, and the spiritual pressure released from the tip of the sword rushed towards Robert like a waning moon.
It was just a moment of distraction, and the waning moon-like slash was close at hand. Robert hurriedly used God's Step and disappeared on the spot, but when he appeared again, he met Hongjiang's cold eyes again, as if this person could know where he would appear from.
This time, before Hongjiang made another move, Robert disappeared again, and never appeared within a kilometer of Hongjiang again.
He understood Hongjiang's meaning. The other party did not intend to kill him, but if he wanted to entangle Hongjiang like he entangled Kashiwamura, then the other party would never be stingy with means to make him really become a corpse.
Robert fled. This time he had no other ideas at all. In his opinion, it was only a matter of time before Kashiwamura died completely. So although Kilujie died in this trip, it was not a complete gain.
As for not daring to fight Hongjiang, since the other party was one of the six special combat forces designated by His Majesty, and could even represent the highest combat force in the current Soul Society, his retreat might not be a wise choice. His Majesty would surely understand.
On the other hand, feeling the spiritual pressure belonging to Robert moving away, Hongjiang also understood that the other party would not or dared not linger around, and this was exactly what he wanted.
Hongjiang came to Kashiwamura's side with a flash step, and Kashiwamura's deputy captain, Shooba Tetsuzaemon, also rushed over. Seeing the captain struggling on the ground in pain, he, who was usually calm and strong, panicked for a while.
Shechang wanted to cover the bleeding wound of Kashiwamura, but how could the hollow wound be covered by two hands?
Suddenly Kashiwamura's body trembled violently, and the long brown hair appeared on his resolute face.
At the same time, his face shape gradually changed, and once again turned to the wolf head. Shechang, who watched all this, didn't know what to do. Finally, he looked at Hongjiang on the side, "Captain Diezhong, now..."
Shechang wanted to ask Hongjiang for help, but he lost his voice when he saw what Hongjiang was holding in his hand. It was a porcelain plate that looked a little worn, and there was a bloody heart in the plate.
Is that Captain Kashiwamura's heart? Why is it in Captain Diezhong's hand? Two questions came to Shechang's mind, but before he could ask, Hongjiang answered his first question with action.
Hongjiang took the heart out of the porcelain plate and pressed it into the hole in Baicun's left chest. As the heart was put in, the two terrible wounds on Baicun's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
No, Shechang saw it clearly. Rather than saying that Hongjiang put the heart in, it was better to say that he stuffed the heart back before Baicun's chest closed.
As the heart returned to its place, the changes in Baicun's body finally stopped, and he once again returned to the familiar wolf-headed human appearance.
However, it was not completely the same. Shechang noticed that Baicun's right hand had completely turned into a beast claw, which was something that the previous Captain Baicun did not have.
He could reasonably speculate that if Hongjiang had not stuffed the heart back into Baicun's body in time, Baicun would definitely change again, and might eventually become a complete beast.
"Thank you for saving Captain Baicun, Captain Diezhong!" Shechang expressed his gratitude to Hongjiang solemnly.
Hong Jiang ignored him, but continued to look at Kashimura, muttering softly, "It's not certain that he has been saved yet."
Yes, although Kashimura no longer showed pain and his breathing gradually stabilized, it was not guaranteed that he could speak and regain consciousness.
Five minutes, or
maybe ten minutes, it always felt that this rare tranquility passed quickly but was long and difficult to endure. Finally, after Hong Jiang and Shechang ignored the accuracy of time, Kashimura slowly opened his eyes.
"Shechang..." His voice was a little weak, and his eyes slowly moved to the other side, "Diezhong, it's you... When did you..."
Even Kashimura probably didn't understand what he was talking about, but it wasn't because he was confused, but because there were too many questions lingering in his mind, and he didn't know which answer to hear first.
However, Hongjiang could understand what Kashiwamura meant. "Of course, I followed you secretly after you left the Soul Society after you recovered from your injury. If you hadn't led me, no one would have been able to find such a remote place."
"Why, why did you notice me?"
Kashiwamura and Hongjiang didn't have a personal relationship. The number of times they had communicated could probably be counted on one hand. Kashiwamura didn't think that any of his actions could attract the other's attention, especially at such a busy time not long after the Quincy attacked the Soul Society last time.
"Because you are really easy to see through. Although you are trying your best to endure, you are definitely one of the people who blames yourself the most for the last failure, aren't you?"
Hongjiang asked back, and Kashiwamura just nodded, and continued: "So whether you want to wash away the shame or protect the Seireitei, you will try your best to enhance your strength. Although you are a stubborn guy, but Not conceited.”
"so what?"
Hongjiang smiled softly, "I told you that you are a stubborn guy. The Quincy has trampled on the things you cherish and even your beliefs. Then you will not be satisfied with just being able to 'fight' against them, but to 'crush' them." 'They, it's not easy, so I'm always curious about what you would do, or who you would ask for help."
"But there is no one in Seireitei who can help me." Kashiwamura said, with a relieved expression on his face. He probably understood why Hongjiang followed him to that place without knowing it, and at the same time, he felt sorry for the person in front of him. Smart and emotional.
"Yes, no one in the Seireitei can help a captain transform in a short time, but you need another transformation. You are not a person who waits to die, so in the end you will either find me, Urahara or anyone else, or in your heart There is an answer to the question of how to transform.”
Hongjiang continued: "I am a fairly curious person, so I paid attention to you for a while. Until you left the Seireitei alone with the shooting range, I understood that the answer has always been in your heart, or in other words It’s on you. After all, beings like you are extremely special in Seireitei and even Soul Society.”
"I believe you will lead me to explore a secret hidden in the world. From this point of view, I want to thank you, Bai Cun."
