Two consecutive attacks, both as if striking on air.
Nnoitra's mind raced, trying to guess what Hui's ability was.
Logically speaking, Hui was a human, and he was a Hollow. Hui shouldn't be able to touch him.
But the reality was exactly the opposite. Neither of his attacks could touch Hui.
Therefore, Nnoitra had a guess in his heart.
This human boy before him might possess... the power related to space!
This speculation shocked Nnoitra. His expression turned serious.
Then, with extreme speed, he condensed a Cero on the tip of his tongue and suddenly launched an attack at Hui.
However, Hui still didn't dodge or evade, just watched Nnoitra with an amused expression, letting the Cero pass through his body.
"What kind of power is this?"
Nnoitra couldn't help but ask, but what he received was Hui's mocking reply.
"Do you think I'll tell you? If you want to know what this power is, then feel it for yourself."
Nnoitra was instantly enraged upon hearing this. He looked at Hui with a gloomy face, then muttered in a low voice.
"Pray, Santa Teresa!"
As his words fell, a crescent-shaped horn appeared on Nnoitra's head, and cross-shaped yellow markings appeared on his face.
A tooth-like eye mask appeared around his Hollow hole. He now had four segmented arms, each wielding a double-bladed scythe.
In this state, Nnoitra's appearance gave a strong visual impact, visibly feeling powerful.
This made the corner of Hui's mouth curl up slightly, and Zhi Yi appeared in his hand.
He was a person who loved to fight.
Before, in order to enjoy himself to the fullest, he could single-handedly fight against the powerful Shinigami of the entire Gotei 13 in Soul Society.
Now seeing Nnoitra release his Resurrección, although Nnoitra's strength was not enough to make him serious, it could still arouse Hui's interest a little.
"You use a sword? A coward who only knows how to hide can actually use a sword, it's really hilarious." Nnoitra habitually started to taunt.
Hearing this, Hui simply said: "I hope you are worthy of me using my sword. Don't end things too early."
These words were arrogant, but with Hui's strength, for him, the fact that Nnoitra could make him draw Zhi yi was already an honor for the man.
After all, although Nnoitra was one of the Espada, in the original story, he was killed by Kenpachi Zaraki.
And Hui could easily defeat a stronger, awakened Kenpachi.
The gap in strength between the two was truly immense.
"What a big-mouthed brat! Even if I stand here and let you hack at me, you won't be able to cut me!"
Nnoitra taunted, not taking Hui seriously at all.
"Really?"
Hui looked at Nnoitra.
"Then let me see if you are really that tough!"
As his voice fell, Hui shot out, his speed so fast that in Nnoitra's eyes, he could only see a stream of light.
Puchi!
The sound of a sharp blade tearing through flesh, even though Nnoitra was a Hollow, Hui had long mastered the source of energy in this world and could inflict damage on Hollows.
"Compared to your body, it seems your mouth is tougher."
Hui's words echoed out.
Looking at the dumbfounded Nnoitra, he lost interest.
This Espada, officially defined as having the strongest Hierro, was ultimately nothing more than this.
And Nnoitra seemed as if he hadn't heard Hui's mockery. He was completely stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror.
That speed just now was simply too terrifying; he couldn't react at all.
And that sword strike...
Stiffly turning his head, he looked at his slashed arm. Even though the wound was rapidly healing at this moment, Nnoitra still felt a chill.
Looking at Hui again, Nnoitra's gaze was completely different now.
If he still regarded Hui as an ordinary human now, then he really had a problem with his brain.
This wasn't an ordinary human; this was simply a powerful monster.
But soon, Nnoitra became excited.
He was also a person who loved battles, often engaging in unreasonable fights.
At this moment, having encountered a strong opponent, how could he not be excited?
"You have some tricks, kid, but don't get too excited. I'll get serious and let you feel despair!"
Nnoitra was still arrogant.
Even though he already knew in his heart that Hui was very powerful, since the two sides hadn't fully fought yet, he didn't think he would lose.
"Really? Then I'll wait and see."
Hui spoke in a casual tone.
That sword strike just now had already made him understand the Espada's strength.
Such strength was not enough to excite him, and even not enough to pique his interest in making a move.
Nnoitra heard the perfunctory tone in Hui's voice and immediately understood that he had been looked down upon.
Anger surged in his heart again, and then he snarled.
"..."
"Don't underestimate me! Since you want to die so much, then let me fulfill your wish!"
As his voice fell, Nnoitra charged towards Hui.
His speed was very fast, but it was only relative.
Such speed, in Hui's eyes, was no different from a snail.
Hui swayed left and right amidst Nnoitra's furious attacks, his movements graceful, like a leaf dancing in the wind.
He easily dodged all of Nnoitra's attacks.
"Is this all you've got? It's truly disappointing."
While dodging, Hui spoke, making Nnoitra burn with rage, his attack speed increasing even more.
However, the gap between the two was simply too great.
No matter how Nnoitra attacked, he still couldn't touch Hui at all.
Finally, Nnoitra stopped his attack.
He looked at Hui, whose expression remained unchanged. His heart was heavy, but his mouth was still tough.
"Are you only going to dodge? Like a coward? Are you a porcelain doll that will shatter at a touch? Or are you a little kid afraid of pain? Don't worry, I'll be gentle. I won't smash you to pieces in one go."
Nnoitra frantically taunted.
This was his habit, and also his nature. Even when facing someone stronger than him, he couldn't change this nature.
Hearing this, Hui just spoke in a disappointed tone: "It seems that this is all you've got. You can't please me. In that case, then you can just die."
After saying that, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
