Chapter 193: The Battle of Reiatsu

Although today is not the day for a war, Aizen still doesn't mind fighting with Natsuki.

After all, a hundred years have passed since the last fight.

During this period, although he and Xia Mu met several times, they never fought each other, and they were more of a tit-for-tat relationship.

Swish!
Aizen's body flashed and in an instant, he came in front of Xia Mu and swung out another slash.

When Xia Mu swung his sword to attack.

Aizen's body moved again.

Almost in an instant, he slashed out several times with the sword.

Maybe Xia Mu's slash is very powerful and can destroy his sword pressure, but how can you deal with multiple attacks at the same time?

Xia Mu's way of dealing with it is to not deal with it.

His body suddenly disappeared.

The several swords slashed out by Aizen were pressed in the middle, intersecting and colliding, making a dull roar.

The spirit particle turned into a storm and spread out in the surroundings, dispersing some of the red fog around, but it was ultimately unable to sweep away the world and clear all the red fog.

The existence of the red mist means that Natsuki is still in the state of releasing his Zanpakutō.

Aizen is actually very curious about Natsuki Dao's abilities.

Back then, Natsuki had caused him to suffer a loss, forcing him to leave Soul Society. However, even in that battle, Natsuki did not use his Bankai.

Natsuki's Shikai is already very powerful.

So what about Bankai?
What kind of power is it?
Of course he also understood why Natsuki did not use Bankai.

Or is it because the opponents it faces are not strong enough.

For ordinary enemies, Natsuki doesn't even need to release his Zanpakutō. He can defeat the enemy with just a slash. He doesn't even need to use Bankai.

"So, what about me?"

Aizen thought in his heart.

He looked forward.

As the spirit particle storm raged, Xia Mu's figure appeared in front.

"This shouldn't be a flash step."

"Similar to the transfer in space?"

Aizen had seen this method once before.

At that time in Soul Society, Xia Mu was fighting with him. Suddenly, his internal organs seemed to be torn by a sharp blade, suffering severe damage. Afterwards, Xia Mu showed a speed far beyond instant step, came to his side, and dealt him a heavy blow.

Xia Mu did not answer Aizen's question, but instead talked about the issue of Shunpo, "It seems that what you used before was not Shunpo."

Aizen was stunned, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile.

"Do you know? Death has its limits."

When this sentence was said.

A little further away from where Natsuki and Aizen were fighting.

Two powerful spiritual pressures erupted one after another.

The red fog did not spread here.

However, the fighting here is much more intense than anywhere else.

The fighters were Byakuya Kuchiki and Ichigo Kurosaki.

After seeing Ichigo rescue Rukia in public, Byakuya Kuchiki felt that the Kuchiki family's reputation was trampled upon. In order to maintain the honor of the family, he chose to stand up and stop Ichigo Kurosaki.

Of course Ichigo would not allow Rukia to be taken away by Byakuya Kuchiki.

After leaving Rukia to Shiba Issei, the newest acquaintance and a very nice uncle who came to pick him up, he started fighting with Kuchiki Byakuya.

Several days have passed since the last time we met in the Palace of Confession.

Although the time interval is not long, there are always some people in this world who can break the rules, and their existence itself is a miracle.

Ichigo is such a person.

In order to completely crush Byakuya Kuchiki's arrogance, Ichigo decisively used his Bankai after the battle began.

Under the gaze of Byakuya Kuchiki who was full of "Are you kidding me?" and "There is no such a small Bankai", Ichigo used reality to give Byakuya Kuchiki a heavy blow. He used his own strength to tell Byakuya Kuchiki that such a small Bankai does exist in this world.

He has completely mastered the power of Bankai.

During the battle, Byakuya Kuchiki gradually came to accept Ichigo Kurosaki.

But he could not accept just letting Kurosaki Ichigo trample on the glory of the Kuchiki family.

He also decisively used the power of Bankai.

"Let this one blow end it!"

"Final Scene - White Emperor Sword!"

The cherry blossoms gathered behind Byakuya Kuchiki and formed a pair of wings. He took the opportunity to fly in the air. In his hand, he swung out the Zanpakuto emitting white light, and an all-destructive slash burst out, submerging Ichigo's body in an instant.

Kuchiki Byakuya thought the battle was over.

However, at the critical moment.

Ichigo stood up once again.

Unlike before, Ichigo now has a white mask on his face. This is... the mask of a Hollow.

A violent aura burst out from Ichigo's body, but then it was suppressed by Ichigo.

"This must be resolved quickly."

Ichigo said in a deep voice to Byakuya Kuchiki.

After all, he couldn't maintain this state for long.

……

"Is this your handwriting?"

While fighting with Aizen, Natsuki was also paying close attention to everything around him.

Those captains and vice-captains who were thrown into chaos by the Mirror Flowers and Water Moon were temporarily exiled by Tosen Kaname with the help of Bankai, avoiding the influence of the Mirror Flowers and Water Moon. They can be ignored for the time being, but there are still many people who have not been affected by the Mirror Flowers and Water Moon, and they can still be paid attention to.

Ichigo is one of Natsuki's main focus.

Why did he give Ichigo special training during this time?
Isn't it just that you hope to use pressure to make Ichigo grow?

It is not surprising that Ichigo learned Bankai within three days and replicated the miracle of Urahara Kisuke in the past. After all, he did such a thing in the original work.

But this kind of growth is too much at the moment.

He even mastered the virtualization?
Moreover, the duration of the blurring is not short.

Obviously, this couldn't be a power that Ichigo cultivated on his own.

Considering Ichigo's power as a god of death, it was Aizen who brought it out. It was also Aizen who enabled Ichigo to come to Soul Society this time. Ichigo's mastery of the power of hollowification was obviously also related to Aizen.

Aizen knew what Natsuki was asking.

Although the red mist blocked his vision, he could feel the change in Ichigo's spiritual pressure at this moment.

On that day, after Ichigo's latent power of the Shinigami was brought out, the power of the Hollow within his body was also released.

Aizen studied Arrancar in Karakura for many years. Arrancar are the incarnation of Hollows.

Turning it around and teaching Ichigo to use the power of the God of Death to control the power of the Hollow would not be a difficult task for him.

Originally, he taught Ichigo the Hollowification with the intention of letting him use it as a trump card.

Unexpectedly, Ichigo's power as a Shinigami increased while in Soul Society. Just as Natsuki lamented that Ichigo's growth was a bit too much, Aizen also had the same feeling.

But he didn't show it.

Instead, he continued to talk to Xia Mu, "When you reach a certain limit, even punching and running away from ghosts cannot bring the god of death any further. Many years ago, I felt the existence of this limit. In order to break this limit, I did a lot of things."

"In the end, you deemed it a crime, and I became a sinner, and had to leave Soul Society."

"In the years since I left Soul Society, I have continued to search for ways to break through its boundaries."

Aizen's tone changed.

“Finally, I succeeded.”

As he spoke, powerful spiritual pressure burst out from Aizen's body. He pressed one hand on his cheek, and a white mask instantly appeared, covering his black-framed glasses.

Masked Aizen, here we go!
He flashed and came to Xia Mu's side.

Just as Xia Mu said, what he used was not Shunpo, but... Xiangzhuan.

This is a move that only Arrancar can use.

Quincy always say that Hikama Kage is a more advanced footwork than Shunpo.

Aizen wanted to say that Hibikigan was the most powerful footwork.

Some Voids have the ability to open black chambers.

This ability itself is a spatial ability, but apart from the black cavity, it is difficult for Xu to use this power. Xiang Zhuan is the use of this innate spatial ability after Xu has evolved again.

Its movement technique is the transfer at the spatial level.

It is faster than instant step and more mysterious. It can even avoid all means of detection. When it is performed, there is no spiritual pressure reaction, so it is naturally impossible to detect its movement trajectory.

However, even in Hueco Mundo, the only Hollows who have truly mastered the Hibiki are the top-ranked Arrancars, and even they are not very proficient in this power.

This is not the case with Aizen.

After he introduced the power of the void into his body and mastered the rotation, he quickly cultivated it to the pinnacle.

The moment he reached Natsuki's side, Aizen raised his empty hand.

An extremely terrifying spiritual pressure condensed in the palm of his hand, and then released.

boom! !

The beam of light formed by the spirit particles engulfed Xia Mu's body, but in an instant, a red stream of light emerged from it and swallowed up the spirit particle beam in turn. Then, the red stream of light flowed towards Aizen like a long river.

Aizen used Hibiki to dodge.

But Xia Mu always appears by his side like a shadow the moment he appears.

This allowed Aizen to gain a better understanding of Natsuki's Zanpakuto's abilities.

In addition to the ability to transfer across space similar to Xiang Zhuan, it also seems to possess extremely powerful detection capabilities.

Although Xiang Zhuan can avoid detection at the spiritual pressure level, Xia Mu can always find his location.

This means that Xia Mu has mastered another unique detection ability.

"Is it related to this red fog?"

Aizen guessed.

It looked like just a strange red mist, similar to the environmental changes brought about when Captain Yamamoto released his Zanpakutō, but in fact, it was not the case.

Xia Mu can manipulate the red mist at will, gather it with the spirit particles, and transform it into all kinds of incredible attacks.

This was Aizen's personal experience during this short battle.

First, the red light swallowed up the virtual flash he released, and rushed towards him like a big river.

There were also red threads crisscrossing in the air, restricting his body shape and movements. Xia Mu was even more elusive, always appearing beside him and launching a fierce attack on him.

"Aizen, you have fallen."

"As a god of death, you have accepted the power of the Hollow. However, even so, your power does not seem to be strong enough for me to value it."

The Zanpakutō swung, and it was like a red sky covering Aizen.

Aizen frowned beneath his mask, and was originally preparing to dodge.

But Xia Mu's words seemed to irritate him a little.

Fall?

No, he is progressing and evolving. In order to break boundaries and climb upward, he accepts diverse powers.

The power of the god of death alone is not perfect at all.

Only when multiple forces blend together at the same time can one truly reach the top.

"You have no idea how strong I am now."

There was a hint of coldness in Aizen's words.

Fortunately, he had thought highly of Xia Mu before, but now it seems that Xia Mu is just a pedantic frog in the well.

What a waste of such an incredibly powerful talent.

In Aizen's opinion, Natsuki has cultivated to this level relying solely on the power of the God of Death. If he could accept the power of the Hollow, he would definitely be able to go a hundred steps further and step into an unprecedented realm. However, Natsuki did not seek to make progress and actually looked down on the power of the Hollow.

Let me show you how powerful I am.

boom!
In an instant, spiritual pressure burst out from Aizen's body. The red threads that originally enveloped his body, as well as Natsuki's subsequent attacks, were all dispersed by this terrifying spiritual pressure.

The red mist that appeared when Natsuki released his Zanpakuto was also completely swept away at this moment.

There is no excessive movement.

Just the explosion of spiritual pressure can cause destructive power that shakes the heavens and the earth.

The real feeling of oppression continued to spread around.

It first came to Hitsugaya Toushirou and others.

Because he is a new generation of Shinigami, Hitsugaya Toshiro and others had never come into contact with Aizen before, and had no chance of seeing Kyoka Suigetsu's liberation.

When the Double Killing Hill fell into chaos.

Hitsugaya Toushirou was once conflicted about who to help in the past.

Help Byakuya Kuchiki?

Well, to be fair, he didn't want Rukia Kuchiki to be executed.

So, help Kurosaki Ichigo?
The answer is no. I'm not familiar with him. Besides, the battle between Byakuya Kuchiki and Ichigo Kurosaki involves the honor of the Kuchiki family, so it's not a good idea to interfere.

He doesn't need to worry about the other captains and deputy captains who are affected by the mirror flowers and water moons for the time being.

He actually wanted to go over to support Natsuki and fight against Aizen.

But as these two people displayed their exquisite body skills during the battle.

Hitsugaya Toushirou finally gave up.

I can’t keep up!

There was no way to track the movements of these two people.

Therefore, he could only watch from the sidelines with Hinamori Momo and Kira Izuru.

"This spiritual pressure!"

Hitsugaya Toushirou felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

Fortunately, he is a captain-level Shinigami and the master of Hyourinmaru, and his natural spiritual pressure is also quite good, so he can barely keep himself steady. At this moment, he suddenly found that Hinamori Momo and Kira Izuru beside him tilted their bodies and fell to the ground.

"Hinamori, Kira!"

Hitsugaya Toushirou exclaimed.

Even a vice-captain-level Shinigami couldn't withstand the horror of this spiritual pressure.

The destructive power of the spiritual pressure continued to spread in all directions, and then fell on the black barrier formed after Tosen Kaname's Bankai.

Although Tosen Kaname's Bankai can restrain Kyoka Suigetsu, the barrier is very fragile.

Click!

The barrier was broken, and the captains and vice-captains who were once influenced by Aizen's Mirror Flowers and Water Moon saw the light of day again.

At this moment, Aizen did not continue to maintain the illusion, so when they appeared, they were directly subjected to the oppressive feeling of spiritual pressure.

Like Hinamori Momo and Kira Izuru, some vice-captains were forced to fall to the ground because they could not bear the pressure. Of course, those who could not bear the pressure were all weak vice-captains. Vice-captains like Chojiro Suzuki who had already reached the captain level were not affected much.

"What a terrifying spiritual pressure!"

"Is this Aizen's strength?"

Kyoraku Shunsui's nerves were tense and his expression was solemn.

Captain Yamamoto's eyes were fixed, he said nothing, and naturally did not take any action.

The impact of the previous illusions is still fresh in my mind.

Therefore, before he is absolutely sure, he doesn't mind waiting and watching, and then waiting for the perfect opportunity.

"It's true that Aizen is very strong, but Natsuki is not necessarily weaker than Aizen."

Yoruichi replied to Kyoraku Shunsui's words with deep trust in her tone.

Kyoraku Shunsui was about to say something.

Suddenly, another spiritual pressure erupted that was powerful enough to rival Aizen's.

In front of Aizen, Natsuki looked at Aizen who suddenly burst out with powerful spiritual pressure and dispelled the red mist, and he was not surprised.

After all, in the original work, Aizen is famous for his powerful spiritual pressure.

Apart from Kyoka and Shuiyue, Aizen has no other strange abilities, and he doesn't need those strange abilities at all. His powerful spiritual pressure makes his every move have extremely destructive power.

When the Soul King died, the torrent of power poured down towards the Soul Society. Ordinary Shinigami were simply unable to cope with this power.

Aizen was able to completely disperse the mighty rushing force simply by relying on his spiritual pressure, which shows how terrifying his spiritual pressure was.

The current Aizen may not have reached that level, but from the hollowness he revealed, it is clear that he has embarked on another path without fusing with the Hogyoku. Maybe the process is different, but the purpose is the same, which is for his own evolution.

"Do you think that you are the only one with strong spiritual pressure?"

Natsuki's voice reached Aizen's ears.

The next moment, Xia Mu's spiritual pressure also exploded.

After the crimson spiritual pressure erupted, everyone felt as if a sea of ​​corpses and blood was surging towards them.

terror!
Extremely terrifying!
The intimidating feeling brought by Aizen's spiritual pressure suddenly disappeared, but the sense of oppression in the air became even stronger.

Originally, only Aizen released the spiritual pressure, but now, Natsuki also released his terrifying spiritual pressure. For a moment, it was like two huge mountains, pressing down heavily on the captains' heads.

The shock brought by this scene surged heavily into the hearts of the captains.

Everyone knows that Natsuki is very powerful, after all, he is the modern-day Kenpachi, but few people have seen Natsuki's limits. Even more, few people know what Natsuki's Bankai is.

It was not until this moment that they began to understand how powerful Xia Mu was.

"Is this your true strength?"

"With this kind of spiritual pressure, if I perform Bankai again..."

I don’t dare to think about what happens next.

No one would doubt that Natsuki did not master Bankai.

After all, Natsuki's Shikai ability is so strange, which shows that Natsuki has developed his Zanpakuto to a pinnacle level.

The shocking spiritual pressure is colliding.

There is no need for excessive means.

The pure spiritual pressure alone is enough to overwhelm everything.

Aizen still had the hollow mask on his face. Because of the mask, his true expression could not be seen clearly, but if you took off the mask, you would find that his expression was very solemn.

The original intention was to let Xia Mu feel his current power, let Xia Mu retract his so-called prejudice, and experience a whole new world, but he suddenly discovered that Xia Mu did not need that kind of power at all, and had already reached that state by himself.

Aizen is not a jealous person, and generally speaking, he doesn't envy others.

Even if someone is born a noble, and he is born a commoner, he firmly believes that as long as he finds the right way and through acquired efforts, he can catch up with his innate talent.

But this idea was rewritten in front of Xia Mu.

Why?
Xia Mu is just a commoner.

He is not like Ichigo Kurosaki, who has a strange background and is born with extremely powerful power.

Why can Xia Mu reach this point relying solely on the power of the god of death?

Although I have long known that this world is unfair.

A person with mediocre talent may spend his entire life working as hard as a genius for just a few months.

However, when he truly felt the unfairness in this way, Aizen still felt jealous.

"How unfair this is!"

He couldn't help but sigh.

As negative emotions grew in his heart, Aizen's spiritual pressure continued to explode.

Correspondingly, in order to compete with Aizen, Natsuki continued to burst out his spiritual pressure.

Until the third burst of spiritual pressure.

This situation just came to an abrupt end.

"Although I know you are fighting, a simple spiritual pressure confrontation will not kill anyone."

An extremely hot spiritual pressure exploded.

Captain Yamamoto also released his own spiritual pressure without hesitation.

He did not attack Aizen directly, as the lesson from Kyoka Suigetsu was still fresh in his mind.

But he didn't mind using his own extremely powerful spiritual pressure to eliminate the influence of Aizen's spiritual pressure.

Three powerful spiritual pressures clashed invisibly, and the physical forces collided with each other. At this moment, the space seemed to be distorted.

Let’s not talk about Squad Zero for now.

At present, Captain Yamamoto, Aizen, and Natsuki are definitely the ones with the most powerful spiritual pressure among the Shinigami.

According to the twenty levels of spiritual power, they are all well-deserved first-class.

It's not that they can only reach this level, but because the first level is the upper limit of the spiritual power classification.

The three spiritual pressures merged, and the originally tit-for-tat formation became a three-legged tripod. Xia Mu replied to Captain Yamamoto's words with great approval, "Captain is right, this way you can't kill anyone."

“So, I have to try another approach.”

The scarlet knife was swung, and in an instant, all the spiritual particles around were plundered by Xia Mu using strange means, and the spiritual pressure wall surrounding Aizen's body was cut open by the more condensed spiritual pressure attack.
