Aikawa Rabu roared, advancing instead of retreating, drawing his sword and channeling his spiritual pressure: "Shatter him, Tengumaru!"
With a flash of light, the slender blade transformed into a massive, dark spiked club under the glow, the icy weapon hurtling towards the twin swords.
The boy calmly commented, "Overestimating yourself."
His hands never stopped moving.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The next second, a figure was seen flying backward, and a cracked ground and thick dust witnessed the entire collision.
"Luo Wu!"
Fengqiao Lou Shilang's expression changed drastically, and everyone looked at the boy with even greater vigilance.
Aikawa Rao is a true Captain-level Shinigami; they never even dared to imagine being so easily overwhelmed and sent flying, even with his Shikai activated.
This isn't to say that Aikawa Luowu is particularly strong, but rather that Luowu is an extremely powerful type of person, and it's simply unimaginable that he would be so easily defeated in a head-on confrontation.
In particular, their Visored Army doesn't have any spiritual pressure limits; every spiritual pressure is undiminished.
"I'm fine."
Under the worried gazes of the group, a rough voice calmed their minds. Immediately afterwards, a figure leaped high into the air, piercing through the dust, and appeared wearing a pure white bone mask.
"A blazing little hammer!"
With a loud shout, the figure, exuding astonishing spiritual pressure, plummeted downwards at breakneck speed.
The firelight above illuminated the boy's face.
Daniela, who arrived late following behind the boy, understood the situation and her expression changed slightly: "And people! Damn it, may they die!"
"No need to interfere."
A calm voice stopped Daniela's movements; it was named "Kiritani Kazuto".
The young man raised his head, his expression utterly calm, only the faint sound of his hands gripping his twin swords audible: "Dual-wielding."
Sword marks flashed across the ground, one after another.
No one could escape the cage formed by more than a dozen sword shadows; the perfect sixteen-hit combo suddenly unleashed the brilliance of the dual-wielding style.
"Starburst! Air Stream! Slash!"
Swish, swish, swish!
The sound of breaking came from somewhere unknown.
The next second, the spiked club carrying the power of flames suddenly solidified. The power of the flames had somehow turned into fragments, leaving only a middle-aged man with a shattered mask, his pupils wide, helplessly dissolving from the air.
*Pfft!* Fresh blood suddenly splattered all over his body.
"Luo Wu!"
"That bastard!"
"How could this be? Just who is this guy?"
"Binding Spell Number Seventy-Three: Mountain-Reversing Crystal"
With a barrier erected by Hōda Hachigen, Aikawa Raibu, who was instantly defeated, was caught immediately.
Treatment is performed using the return channel.
Seeing the masked army's shock and anger, the boy calmly asked, "Take care of one, who's next?"
These words instantly enraged the members of the Masked Legion.
The former captains and vice-captains were all truly outstanding individuals, yet they are now being looked down upon and despised. Coupled with the fact that their comrades were injured, this was enough to enrage them.
"real or fake"
"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?"
"Why are you fighting with these Grim Reapers?!"
Seeing that Aizen was alright, Daniela breathed a sigh of relief and then took a look at the situation, her heart sinking.
Having witnessed the power of the Grim Reaper firsthand, he wouldn't underestimate these powerful individuals with terrifying spiritual pressure, especially when outnumbered.
The situation became even worse.
She, who considered herself a friend, couldn't possibly do it immediately.
As she fled, her slender, delicate hand unconsciously rested on the crossbow at her waist.
"These are some of my private matters; you don't need to interfere."
"Aizen glanced at it and said."
"But"
Upon hearing this, Dani hesitated slightly, tightening her grip on the crossbow, but ultimately chose to respect the order: "I understand, but I will definitely intervene if there is any danger."
The main reason was that Aizen's instant kill of a captain-level powerhouse gave her some confidence.
"Who exactly are you and what are your goals?"
Shinji Hirako, having drawn his Zanpakuto, had a somber look in his eyes and chose not to act rashly.
Aikawa Raiyu did not have time to use his D-release, but with Aikawa Raiyu's power, even his Shikai + Hollowfication would not be weaker than his original D-release.
The fact that he was able to defeat Aikawa Rao so cleanly and decisively meant that the opponent was more troublesome than he had imagined.
Despite being ostracized by everyone, Aizen remained calm and unperturbed.
"Kirigaya Kazuto, a former professional gamer, is now a wandering swordsman."
"I don't want to harm you; I just hope you can stay for a while."
"As for the purpose, it was nothing more than a trade to obtain information that would allow me to return home."
the other side.
Having received the same news, Nura Rihan, who was leading several cadres, was also stopped by a burly man wielding two axes.
"Lord Rexxar doesn't seem like a bad person, so why are you helping those demons?"
Rihan Nura, whose arm was slightly sore, developed a sense of interest and approval towards the person who had stopped him after the direct collision.
"It was simply a matter of fulfilling a trustee's request."
Chapter 425 The power surged up after eating it 3/3
"This is really confusing."
Hirako Shinji, who could understand some of what was being said, smiled with a headache, then suddenly leaned in and grinned: "However, we can't just stop like this no matter what."
You have your own purposes, and we also have our debts of gratitude to repay.
No need to hold back, let's fight it out and decide the outcome!
Is war absolutely necessary?
"Watch out, I won't hold back from now on."
Aizen sighed, his deep eyes flickering with a hint of sadness.
"I couldn't ask for more!"
Hirako Shinji's voice rang out several octaves, and as the ethereal mask suddenly appeared, it became heavy and tyrannical.
"Eclipse, the ultimate dual-wielding sword technique!"
Both groups were intercepted, and even with the combined efforts of Urahara Kisuke and his two companions, they were unable to subdue the dangerous boy in front of them for a long time.
"Hado no 88 Flying Dragons"
"Too slow, no one will wait for you to unleash your ultimate move."
The cold voice had barely finished speaking when a fist, shrouded in shadow, slammed into Tetsuzai's head, causing the latter's pupils to shrink and forcing him to raise his hand to block.
Bang! Just as the punch sent the former powerful Taoist priest flying, a sharp crimson light and a fierce fist followed.
"ha!"
With a loud bang, smoke and dust enveloped Aizen and Yoruichi's figures.
But Kisuke Urahara, who launched the attack from afar, remained unfazed. His hand movements shifted, and a net-like spiritual pressure emanated from the sword: "Bind, Benihime!"
"uh-huh"
A muffled groan of pain escaped her lips, and Yoruichi's figure was sent flying backward through the dust and smoke.
Before Aizen could even escape the smoke and dust, he was already being suppressed by the intense contraction of crimson and black spiritual pressure. Urahara continued his actions, plunging his sword into the ground with a backhand motion, and coldly said, "Playing with fire, Benihime!"
"Hado no Shijo 91: Senju Kyoten Taiho!"
"Hado #73: Twin Lotus Azure Flame Fall!"
At the same time, Yoruichi and Yoruichi, having regained their footing, finished their incantations and unleashed two high-level Hado techniques on each other without mercy.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The violent explosions stirred up a gale, and even the Devimon, who had retreated far away, felt a stinging pain on its skin from the scorching flames. While shocked, it couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.
Even though he trusted that man completely, he couldn't suppress the fear in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't understand the man's strength and was worried that something bad would happen.
What he was truly worried about was himself! That man hadn't even used his true form to test him, so his strength was definitely no match for his true form. If he were truly defeated, Aizen would be fine, but his own safety would be uncertain.
Look at the ruthless "brutality" these people show to their subordinates.
This truly terrified the demon.
Has it been resolved?
Having channeled most of her spiritual power to unleash Number 73's Hado, Yoruichi, slightly weakened, only had time to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.
Neither Tessai nor Kisuke Urahara answered her.
Logically speaking, even an average captain would be seriously injured if he took a head-on attack, and it would be normal for him to finish off the enemy in one go.
However, the enemy's unpredictability and the unknown nature of the situation led them to accept this outcome, and they could only wait quietly for the enemy's reaction, not daring to approach rashly to investigate and launch a sneak attack to inflict heavy damage.
The sound of slightly unsteady footsteps struck his heart, causing him to furrow his brow.
Although the footsteps suggested that the other party was not in good condition either, and that none of them, except for Urahara, were unharmed.
"Phew, not bad, not bad."
A staggering figure slowly emerged from the dust, his black cloak stained with fresh blood.
Seeing the other person's disheveled appearance, Kisuke Urahara felt no joy. Instead, he frowned and stared at the dark substance clutched in the other person's right hand: "You're already injured like this, and you still won't give up? After all, we don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other, do we? And judging from your appearance, you don't seem to be an ally of that demon. Why are you helping them?"
"A boring question."
Aizen chuckled without any attempt to hide his laughter.
Kisuke Urahara is a hypocrite; no matter how capable he is, he can't change that nature.
So it turns out they weren't the ones who went for the kill just now; they only considered using words to persuade others because they thought they had an absolute advantage. Their sincerity was probably less than their intention to gather intelligence.
This guy didn't hesitate to use Ichigo Kurosaki's... old friend's son in the future. It can't be said that he was using him entirely, but a large part of the reason he helped Kurosaki and his group was actually to clean up his own mess.
Aside from his superhuman abilities and strength, who is Ichigo Kurosaki? In terms of personality, he's just an ordinary person content with his lot in the world.
Compared to the other two protagonists of the three major manga, Ichigo Kurosaki is an outlier as the protagonist of a shonen manga.
Luffy's path is simpler; he's pursuing his dreams and freedom. Naruto's ambition to become Hokage stems more from his childhood experiences and his desire for recognition; his growth is more about self-redemption. Ichigo, on the other hand, was forced into it.
He initially became a Grim Reaper to protect his family, but never intended to take on the responsibilities of a Grim Reaper. He only intervened again because he couldn't bear to watch misfortune happen before his eyes. This is a person's most basic humanity.
The reasons for becoming a substitute Shinigami are also complex. Rukia temporarily lost her Shinigami powers as a result, and he felt indebted to Rukia. The two gradually became friends, and their friendship developed. Protecting Karakura Town was also indirectly protecting his family. The third and most important reason is that he felt indebted to Rukia.
In the Soul Society arc, he did it to save people, for his friends. In the Aizen arc, he did it to protect Karakura Town. In the Fullbring arc, he was the prey he was targeted for, something he couldn't escape. In the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, he did it to protect the world.
In fact, the core reasons for all these things can be categorized into one type.
For friends and family.
If something happens in Karakura Town, something will happen to his family too.
If the Spirit King is in trouble, the world will end, and his family and friends will also be in trouble.
As the protagonist's father, the fact that he never revealed anything about Shinigami and Quincy to his children, nor did he ever train them in Shinigami powers, shows that Kurosaki Isshin didn't want his children to get involved in these conflicts.
However, it wasn't just Aizen, the mastermind, who dragged Ichigo Kurosaki into all of this; Kisuke Urahara also played a significant role in orchestrating it.
The simplest.
Kisuke Urahara, who had long planned to trap Rukia and cause her to perish together with the Hogyoku, wouldn't constantly monitor Rukia's condition. This means that if he wanted to, he could have taken action and killed the Hollow at the beginning. The fact that he didn't do so means that he had been using the premise that Rukia had lost her Shinigami powers and was forced to enter a Gikai to recover from her injuries, thus leading her into his trap.
