Chapter 694 The Quincy's Fighting Style
In the center of the battlefield, Aizen Sousuke wore his usual gentle smile, as if the current situation was nothing more than this.
Kaname Tosen stood calmly beside Aizen, with Rukia in one arm, his eyes wrapped in bandages, making his expression unreadable.
"Yes, you've done a good job. You may leave." Aizen said softly without turning his head.
Everyone frowned slightly. Was he really planning to face all five of them alone?
"Yes, Lord Aizen." Without a hint of doubt, Tosen Kaname nodded slightly and then tried to leave.
"Who gave you permission to leave!"
Soi Fon let out a cold shout, and the encirclement suddenly tightened, sealing off all of Tosen Kaname's escape routes.
Aizen's gaze swept calmly around the group, a hint of amusement in his voice, "So, how do you intend to keep us here?"
"Why don't we try and see?" Ye Yi's eyes were low and he snorted coldly. His body sank slightly, and his golden pupils were as sharp as an eagle's.
She didn't waste any more words; before she finished speaking, she had already disappeared!
Almost at the same time, the petite Soi Fon also swiftly cut in from the other side, attacking Aizen from both the left and right.
Both of them are among the best in the captain-level in terms of their Shunpo skills, and they are extremely fast.
Faced with an extremely fast pincer attack from two directions, Aizen didn't even move an inch.
"too slow."
Aizen said softly.
The moment the words left his mouth, Yoruichi's seemingly inevitable strike was effortlessly parried by him with the blade of his sword. On the other side, Soi Fon's Zanpakuto was even more astonishing; it was held firmly in his hand and couldn't advance an inch.
“What…” Soi Fon’s pupils contracted slightly.
Aizen forced Yoruichi back with a single strike, and with a flick of his wrist, his Zanpakuto slashed towards Soi Fon beside him.
boom!
Just as the Zanpakuto was about to fall, Kyoraku Shunsui descended from the sky and blocked Aizen's Zanpakuto with a single strike.
His eyes were obscured by the brim of his hat, making them impossible to see: "Aizen, surrender now. You have already failed."
Aizen smiled faintly: "Is that so?"
"That's not possible."
"All flowing waves become my shield, all lightning becomes my blade, Pisces's Principle!"
Jushiro Ukitake released his Zanpakuto, which then split into two.
Kyoraku Shunsui remained expressionless, holding Aizen's sword at bay with one hand, while casually unleashing a spiritual energy slash behind him with the other.
With a flick of his left hand, Jushiro Ukitake absorbed the spiritual pressure slashed by Shunsui Kyoraku, while releasing it with his Zanpakuto in his right hand.
Jushiro Ukitake's Zanpakuto abilities are such that one can absorb attacks, while the other can release the absorbed energy.
This is the tacit understanding they've built up over hundreds of years.
"Oh? That's interesting." Aizen finally showed a hint of approval, and his spiritual pressure level rose again.
boom! ! !
A terrifying spiritual pressure pressed down on everyone's heads, almost materializing.
"Varied……"
Kyoraku Shunsui's eyes widened slightly. He knew that Aizen's spiritual pressure was no weaker than his own, because Kyoka Suigetsu's Zanpakuto ability could even obscure Yama-no-Toki's senses, but he never expected it to be this strong.
This spiritual pressure is already approaching that of the old man of the mountain.
Are you kidding me? How old is this guy?
He's at most three or four hundred years old.
That must be an incredibly extraordinary talent.
Or is it through some other method...?
Without time to think, Aizen first forced Kyoraku Shunsui back with a single slash, then unleashed a second strike, severing Ukitake Jushiro's attack.
"Sting and kill all enemies, sparrow bee!"
Soi Fon was thus saved. She lowered her body, released her Zanpakuto, and the long-handled Zanpakuto transformed into a sharp assassination weapon resembling a fingernail, which she then placed on her middle finger and thrust towards Aizen's waist.
the first time!
Soi Fon narrowed her eyes slightly.
However, Aizen's lips curled up slightly, and that smile gave Soi Fon a bad feeling.
The next moment, Soi Fon's pupils contracted sharply.
Before anyone knew it, Kyoka Suigetsu's Zanpakuto was already close to his neck, and it seemed that his head and body would be separated in the next second.
boom!
A streak of blue light shot out from nowhere. Aizen instantly turned around, leaving only Soi Fon in place. The blue light grazed Soi Fon's cheek and shot off into the distance.
Where the blue light passed, a thin line swept across the ground, stirring up a strong wind.
Aizen's figure appeared not far away, and he looked in surprise along with the others in the direction from which the blue streak of light had come.
"What a quick response."
Yuko held the snow-white blade in one hand, the tip pointing at the spot where Aizen had just stood. She muttered something and slowly put Shura down.
Aizen held his Zanpakuto in one hand and pushed up his glasses with the other: "It's truly astonishing that after fighting the Captain-Commander to this extent, he can still retain so much..."
Aizen paused, his eyes narrowing slightly: "No, it's spiritual particles obtained from the outside world..."
"You got it right, but there's no reward."
Blue flames erupted from the Shura Blade in Yuko's hand, a manifestation of spiritual energy gathering within the weapon. Her entire body also began to emit a faint blue light.
Yoruichi looked surprised: "That's... the Quincy's fighting style?"
Kyoraku Shunsui glanced at her: "Oh? Even you don't know?"
“It’s not just Quincy who can draw spiritual energy from the outside world to fight; it’s just that Quincy are more compatible.” Yuko slowly stepped forward. “As long as you have enough spiritual power, even humans can fight by using their own spiritual power or by manipulating spiritual energy from the outside world.”
"That's right..."
But most of them are only at the level of forming a ball of spiritual energy; there really aren't any who can do this much.
The spiritual energy attached to Yu Zi's body became more and more abundant and dense, almost materializing into a scene resembling a burst of spiritual energy, burning fiercely on her body.
The gathered spiritual particles already possessed spiritual power that was in no way inferior to that of a captain-level individual.
Yuko raised her eyes, her golden eyes flashing with a blue light: "The second round, Aizen."
"It's quite surprising, Miss Yuko." Aizen smiled slightly. "It seems that every time you bring me something unimaginable."
Aizen said, extending his hand again: "I never invite someone a second time."
Yu Zi snorted coldly: "You said the same thing to the last one, didn't you?"
Aizen paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "What a pity."
"Maybe you can try a third time."
Yoruichi couldn't help but retort, "Are you really that eager to reject him?"
Yu Zi said calmly, "Actually, I wanted to learn from Zhuge Liang's three visits to the thatched cottage. I agreed on the third visit, but he had no patience and gave up after only two visits."
"..."
Damn, you're so cute.
Kyoraku Shunsui realized that this girl was a natural-born abstract artist, so he decided to ignore her and turned to look at Aizen.
"Aizen, do you really think you can escape now?"
Aizen's spiritual pressure did indeed surprise him, but that was not enough.
They're not exactly weaklings either.
Huh? Why would he call them "small fish"?
“How interesting, Captain Kyoraku.” Aizen pushed up his glasses, a slight smile playing on his lips. “What makes you mistakenly believe that you are the ones with the advantage?”
"What?" Kyoraku Shunsui frowned.
As Aizen finished speaking, he vanished once more. This time, his target was...
Jushiro Ukitake!
Jushiro Ukitake has always been frail and sickly. Although he is quite capable, close combat is ultimately his weakness. He is far inferior in both stamina and endurance.
"Don't even think about it!" Kyoraku Shunsui moved swiftly, instantly blocking in front of Ukitake, his twin swords crossed, attempting to block the attack.
"Innocent."
Aizen's voice rang in his ears, and Kyoraku's pupils contracted sharply. He saw that Aizen had somehow bypassed him and cleanly slashed at Ukitake Jushiro with a single sword strike.
Jushiro Ukitake raised his left hand, attempting to absorb Aizen's attack by blocking it.
However, the slash passed right through Aizen's body without any hindrance.
That was an afterimage.
"Watch out!" Yoruichi's voice came from the other side.
The real Aizen has already appeared behind Soi Fon.
Soi Fon's pupils contracted, and she quickly turned around, thrusting the swan-bumblebee in her hand behind her.
But it was too late.
"Kosho Aya, it seems you've been used as a weakness."
Yuko used her Instant Step to leap forward and slashed at Aizen... Soi Fon in front of him.
Before anyone could show any surprise, Soi Fon's figure materialized, revealing Aizen's appearance.
Aizen showed no surprise on his face and calmly said, "So, it really is those eyes?"
He did not use a Zanpakuto, nor did he have the ability to unleash it.
He originally thought it was the power of the Zanpakuto, because Yuuko's Zanpakuto power was quite special.
Yuko showed no intention of responding, her body wreathed in blue spiritual energy as she slashed at Aizen with each strike.
Aizen continued to parry and counterattack with his sword.
Yuko frowned slightly; something... wasn't right.
Aizen smiled and said, "A very nice reaction, but it's a pity."
He jumped backward, dodging Yuko's attack.
"You seem to have misunderstood something," Aizen said gently, though his voice came from a distance.
"When did you begin to have the misconception that I didn't use the 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon' technique?"
Aizen's mouth continued to open and close, but his voice came from a distance.
The moment the words left his mouth, the world seemed to distort in everyone's eyes.
The Aizen who was surrounded in everyone's eyes had now become Tosen Kaname. The real Aizen was standing unharmed a dozen meters away.
Aizen was holding Rukia in one hand, while in the other hand he was holding a purple cube that emitted an eerie light.
Collapse of jade!
He has removed the Hogyoku from Rukia's body!
Aizen's hand, which was holding the Hogyoku, seemed to be attached to something, with some green stuff attached to the front half of his arm, as if his arm had turned green.
Although she didn't know what it was, Yuko knew that he must have removed the Hogyoku that had fused with Rukia's soul through the mutation of that arm.
"Rukia!"
Ichigo, who had been sitting still, finally couldn't sit still any longer and rushed forward with his Zanpakuto in hand.
"Let her go!"
"Idiot! Calm down!" Yoruichi, who was closest to him, kicked him to the ground and shouted coldly.
Rukia is alright for now.
"Wha, what?"
Rukia had a large hole in her chest, but no blood flowed out. And as the Hogyoku was removed, the hole slowly closed, and her soul was soon whole again.
"Oh? The soul itself is intact?" Aizen put away the Hogyoku and looked at Rukia with some surprise. "But unfortunately, you are now..."
"Stop!" Ichigo shouted in despair.
Yuko reached for the hilt of her Zanpakuto at her waist. If it were only in Shikai form, she could release the spiritual pressure she was absorbing.
The process of absorbing external spiritual particles and making them completely usable is quite complicated.
Just like how humans absorb the effects of medicine by taking it, this is a relatively slow process.
It's not that you can manipulate external spiritual particles and absorb them instantly.
Aizen lifted Rukia with one hand and picked up his Zanpakuto with the other. Just as he was about to pierce Rukia, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the solemn-faced crowd.
To be precise, it's Yuko.
"Let's make a deal, Miss Yuko."
Yuko's gaze swept over Aizen and Tosen Kaname for a moment before she asked, "What do you want?"
"You seem surprised that I was able to deceive you." Aizen's lips curled up slightly, as if he had found a sense of superiority. "A hundred years ago, when you discovered Gin's identity, I was wondering how you did it."
"The battle just now has made me even more certain of one thing."
"You didn't lock onto me through direct judgment, but through the amount of spiritual pressure."
"right?"
“Each soul possesses different spiritual power, and you determine my location by judging the spiritual power within a soul.”
"Indeed, I have no way of knowing the spiritual power of other people accurately."
"But you've overlooked one thing: I can completely simulate the spiritual pressure you need."
"As long as I can completely simulate my and Kaname's spiritual pressure under the effect of Mirror Flower Water Moon, I can fool your eyes."
Yu Zi smiled and said, "You're the kind of villain who will proactively explain your skills? That's great."
Ignoring Yuuko's words, Aizen suggested, "You probably don't want this little girl to die by my hand, so take your blood... no, I want one of your arms."
"How about it? This deal is pretty good, isn't it?"
"After all, with your abilities, you'll recover quickly."
"Auntie's hands..."
Ichigo suddenly remembered Ikuko's exaggerated recovery ability.
Yu Zi narrowed her eyes slightly: "You perverted four-eyed bastard, what do you want my arm for?"
"It's a serious research matter."
Yoruichi stood in front of Ikuko and said coldly, "What? You think this guy can escape safely?"
She was naturally referring to Tosen Kaname, who was surrounded by the crowd.
"She certainly can't compete with your power, but she will definitely..."
Before Aizen could finish speaking, Yuko picked up her Zanpakuto and cleanly severed her right hand, leaving no blood flowing from the cut.
Yuko remained calm, as if she wasn't the one whose arm had been severed. The moment her right arm broke off, before it even hit the ground, it was caught in her rapidly regenerating right hand.
So fast.
Aizen narrowed his eyes slightly.
It's comparable to the regeneration of the Hollows... no, it's even stronger.
"Release them." Yuko casually tossed her arm to Aizen.
