Death's Hidden Mobile

Aizen asked, "With such powerful abilities, how long can you maintain them?"

Xia Yan said with a smile, "That's enough to kill you."

With those words, Xia Yan vanished and reappeared behind Aizen, a lightning-struck longsword appearing in his right hand as he slashed at Aizen.

Aizen tried to block, but the next moment, one of Aizen's legs disappeared without a trace, and Natsuhiko appeared behind Aizen, saying, "Give up, you are no match for me."

Xia Yan spoke softly, but at that moment, Aizen smiled and said, "Is that so? Do you really think you've already surpassed me?"

As Aizen spoke, he waved his hand, and a mask appeared on his face, completely covering his face except for his eyes.

"This is?"

Xia Yan looked at Aizen and said, "You used Hollowfication on yourself."

Aizen nodded and said, "That's right. Although I didn't obtain Kisuke Urahara's Hogyoku and thus fail to develop the Perfect Hogyoku, my Hogyoku is enough for me to break the boundary between Shinigami and Hollows, allowing me to master the abilities of Hollows."

"So what? You've already lost a leg and an arm. How can you fight me?"

Xia Yan asked coldly.

Aizen chuckled and said, "Is that so? Resurrección, Skull Butterfly."

As he spoke, Aizen's body was enveloped in a white substance, his eyes turned into black spheres, two tentacles appeared on his head, and his legs transformed into arthropods.

Two bulges appeared on Aizen's back, which burst open and turned into a pair of butterfly wings.

And on the butterfly's wings, there are four skulls.

With the birth of this form, his arms and legs all grew out.

"Resurrected blade?"

Xia Yan was somewhat surprised to see this scene. This form of Aizen combined the forms of the future Butterfly Aizen and Skull Aizen.

However, it's only in its Resurrection state, somewhat like Kaname Tosen's Enma Cricket.

"How did you completely break the boundary between Shinigami and Hollows with just an imperfect Hogyoku?" Xia Yan frowned.

Kaname Tosen's Resurrection Blade is a higher level of evolution than Hollowfication. It completely breaks down the boundary between Shinigami and Hollows, giving Shinigami the power of Hollows.

This requires a perfect Hogyoku to achieve, so why was Aizen able to do it?

Aizen smiled and said, "I did not completely break the boundary between Shinigami and Hollows. I only failed in the process of mastering Hollowfication, and then used the broken Hogyoku to erase my Hollowfied self, which gave me the power of Resurrection."

"So that's how it is."

Xia Yan seemed to be deep in thought. When everyone is mastering the ability to become ethereal, they need to overcome the etherealness within themselves. At the same time, they also need external help to suppress it.

In this process, the external self will continuously transform into the virtual self.

The longer the delay, the more the external self appears as an illusion, until it becomes completely illusory.

In other words, Aizen did not stop it, allowing himself to become a Hollow completely, and also used the incomplete Hogyoku to erase the Hollow's consciousness.

"I see."

Xia Yan fired his Thunder Spear, striking Aizen. A violent explosion rang out, and lightning filled the air.

When the lightning disappeared, Aizen was covered by the butterfly wings behind him, completely unharmed.

"Powerful defensive capabilities."

Xia Yan waved his hand, and streaks of lightning rose from the lightning pool, flying towards Aizen.

However, Aizen gripped his Zanpakuto in his right hand and slashed at the lightning dragon.

A sword strike flew out, shattering the thunder dragon in two. Then, a flash of light appeared, and all the thunder dragons vanished without a trace.

“Great power.”

Xia Yan's body crackled with lightning as he appeared behind Aizen, his right hand enveloped in lightning, and thrust it towards Aizen's back.

boom.

Aizen turned and threw a punch. The two fists collided, and Xia Yan's body froze for a moment.

Boom, boom, boom.

The two exchanged a hundred blows in an instant, leaving only afterimages in the air before separating.

Aizen's left cheek armor shattered, but it instantly healed. He said, "Right now, I'm only a fraction slower than you. I can't defeat you, but how long can your Bankai last?"

Xia Yan's face turned ugly upon hearing this. Aizen, now completely ethereal, had increased his strength by a level, with his speed, defense, power, and recovery all greatly improved.

Xia Yan's Bankai can only last for half a minute at most before he exhausts his spiritual power.

What should I do?

Chapter 156: The Dust Settles (Fifth Update)

sizzle.

As Xia Yan waved his arm, bolts of lightning shot out from the Thunder Pool and flew towards Aizen in the air.

Aizen's figure flickered, constantly dodging the lightning attacks, but in just a moment, Natsuhiko appeared behind Aizen, a lightning spear in his hand, and thrust it towards Aizen's back.

Aizen turned around and slashed out with his sword, which struck the Thunder Spear precisely.

boom.

The Thunder Spear exploded, and enormous energy scattered in all directions. Once the blue energy had completely disappeared, Aizen slowly opened his butterfly wings, his body completely unharmed.

"It's no use, you can't hurt me."

Aizen's figure flashed, instantly creating distance between them.

But suddenly, his body stopped. From some unknown time, endless currents appeared in the space between Lei Tianqiong and Lei Chi, and these currents intertwined into a large net.

Aizen's body touched a thread in the net, and the surrounding electricity immediately surged forth, enveloping Aizen's body layer by layer.

Do you think you can hurt me?

Aizen waved his hand, and the threads shattered layer by layer, but more and more current surged in, binding Aizen.

The next moment, a giant lightning spider leaped out of the lightning pool and swallowed Aizen whole.

"Ten Billion Volts, Thunder King Spider".

Xia Yan used most of the lightning energy in the Thunder Pool to condense into a giant spider. This spider was huge and imposing, even larger than Yami after his Resurrection Blade was activated.

call.

Aizen, once swallowed, went directly into the abdomen of the Raiou Spider, a place filled with endless lightning energy.

The next moment, the giant Thunder King Spider suddenly contracted, instantly turning into a ball of lightning, and then exploded.

boom.

A tremendous explosion rang out, the Thunder Pool beneath their feet shattered into pieces, and the Thunder Dome in the sky cracked open with a deafening roar, the massive explosion permeating every part of their vision.

. . .

"What incredible power."

Kyoraku Shunsui wiped the sweat from his forehead, then looked to his side and said, "Thank you, Captain Hirako Shinji, Captain Luo Wu."

Shinji Hirako waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, we're just here to help Natsuhiko."

In the distance, Stark's body lay on the ground.

. . .

In the distance, Harribel glanced at the explosion; such an explosion would kill even Aizen.

She looked at the three Arrancar surrounding her, the tip of her sword pressed against the unconscious Shiba Kaien's neck, and said, "I want to use him to exchange for my three subordinates."

"Want to replace your own subordinate? You're dreaming. You're Aizen's subordinate, and we'll kill you."

Sarugaki Hiyori, carrying his Zanpakuto, spoke in a very red voice.

However, Kensei Muguruma said, "Sure, as long as you are willing to release him, we are willing to release our three subordinates."

"Why? Death's life is worthless."

Hiyori Sarugaki immediately turned to look at Kensei Rokusha.

"Because he is Xia Yan's older brother."

Lisa Yadomaru stood beside her and spoke softly.

"Xia Yan?"

Hiyori Sarugaki sighed and said, "Then there's no other way, let's make an exchange."

. . .

Xia Yan's figure slowly appeared from a distance. He carried Yamamoto Genryusai and flew to a distance. After putting Yamamoto Genryusai down, he looked into the distance. At the site of the Thunder King Spider's explosion, a large crater with a diameter of one kilometer and a depth of over a hundred meters had been formed, and the entire ground had been destroyed.

Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This time, we should win."

Yamamoto Genryusai said with a smile, "It's a very powerful ability. If it were me, I'm afraid I would also be seriously injured."

But at that moment, a figure emerged from the large crater in the distance. His butterfly wings on his back were tattered, all four skulls were broken, and Aizen's body also had some holes. However, as he took off, the holes on his body continued to heal, and finally his body was restored, but the butterfly wings on his back were still tattered.

Seeing this, Xia Yan looked surprised. "How is this possible?"

Such an explosion is more than ten times stronger than the Floater's Thunder Whip, and its power is highly concentrated, capable of destroying a city.

However, Aizen was not killed.

Aizen looked at Xia Yan and said, "I can modify Arrancar, so naturally I can modify myself. The skulls on these butterfly wings can absorb heat energy. The reason I chose heat energy is because whether it's a lightning burst or the Captain-Commander's flames, they will kill the enemy with heat energy at the last moment. Of course, the heat energy absorbed by my butterfly wings is limited. Your move was very powerful, directly destroying all the skulls on my back. However, your Lightning Pool was destroyed, and your Bankai is almost at its limit. You have lost."

After Aizen finished healing his injuries, his white armor slowly crumbled. He gripped his Zanpakuto tightly and asked, "What can you still do now?"

Leaving those words behind, Aizen slowly flew towards Natsuhiko.

Xia Yan gripped his Zanpakuto tightly, slowly took flight, and felt the spiritual power within his body. He couldn't use Bankai, but he could use Twin Lightning Wings for about ten seconds.

That's not enough; I can't kill him with just the Twin Thunder Wings.

Just then, a voice rang out, "Let him come closer to me."

"Commander-in-Chief?"

Xia Yan realized that it was the Captain-Commander lying next to him who spoke, so he gripped his long sword tightly and did not rush to use Shikai.
