Death's Hidden Mobile

. . . .

Outside Hueco Mundo, Xia Yan stood in the vast desert, surrounded by a group of people: Ulquiorra, Halibel, Nelieel, Ginjou Kugo, and Tsukishima Shukuro.

"Why did you call us all this way?" Nelliel yawned, looking at Xia Yan with some confusion.

Xia Yan looked at them and said, "Next, I hope you can launch an attack on me."

Ginjou Kugo frowned and asked, "Attack you?"

Xia Yan nodded and said, "I need your power to improve, so you must attack me with all your might."

"Using all your strength?"

Harribel looked at Xia Yan and said softly, "Are you sure? The strength of those four is no less than mine. If I were to use my second-stage Resurrection Blade five times, Aizen could kill them as long as he doesn't fall for Kyoka Suigetsu.

A Super Captain-level fighter is already at the peak of eighth-grade spiritual pressure. Five Super Captain-level powerhouses could kill Shiranui.

Aizen's strength is mostly reflected in his spiritual power and the diversity of his abilities, but his individual combat strength is limited by the fact that he does not have a Zanpakuto, so he is weaker than Yamamoto Genryusai and Natsuhiko when they are at their full strength.

In the recent Seireitei War, Aizen only managed to fight Natsuhiko to a draw after he had completely Hollowfied.

Xia Yan nodded emphatically and said, "I'm sure."

Ginjou Kugo said, "What if I kill you?"

Xia Yan smiled and retorted, "Then can't you take revenge?"

"revenge?"

Ginjou Kūgo shook his head and chuckled, saying, "Actually, I don't hate you. You killed me because I planned to kill you. The last bit of hatred disappeared because you increased our strength. To be honest, I don't want you to die."

Xia Yan said with a smile, "Don't worry, you can't kill me. Just go straight to the second stage of Resurrection and complete Hollowfication."

"Ok."

Ginjou Kūgo took a deep breath and gripped the cross around his neck tightly. "Trample on, Ox-King!"

As he spoke, his figure slowly grew larger, transforming into a gigantic bull-shaped phantom about four meters tall, emanating a black aura.

The instant after Ginjo Kugo transformed, several figures appeared beside Natsuhiko.

Queen Mermaid, Antelope Knight, Black-winged Demon, Red-eyed King Serpent.

Xia Yan looked at these people and softly called out, "Bankai, Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable."

Chapter 172.5: The Limit

Xia Yan did not choose the full Bankai state, but only used the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable, because what he needed was stimulation for his body, not to defeat his opponent.

As Xia Yan shouted, a colossal thunder god rose up behind him, then stepped forward and entered Xia Yan's body.

boom.

Arcs of electricity crackled from Xia Yan's eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears.

Xia Yan was wearing a deep blue lightning robe, and six six-tomoe jade symbols appeared on his back.

"This is too powerful!"

Ginjou narrowed his eyes, sensing danger approaching.

"We just need to do it the way the plan says."

"Heribel said coldly. The moment she left those words, a towering wave rose behind her, engulfing her in a splash, and at the same time, the wave swept towards Xia Yan.

Whoosh.

Xia Yan's figure vanished instantly, then reappeared, creating distance between them, and appeared in mid-air.

But before he could regain his footing, a figure appeared behind Xia Yan in an instant, its two horns striking Xia Yan's back.

Nelielu, the Antelope Knight.

But just as she arrived, Xia Yan disappeared again. However, at the very moment Nelieel missed her target, a ripple spread outwards.

"Bull Demon Tramples".

The air trembled, and the electric current in Xia Yan's body dissipated in an instant, causing him to stop moving.

At that instant, two figures appeared above and below Xia Yan.

Ulquiorra appeared above Xia Yan's head, wielding a spear formed of spiritual energy, which he thrust towards Xia Yan's head.

Appearing beneath Xia Yan's feet was Tsukishima Hidekuro, who had transformed into a red-eyed king serpent, opening his blood-red maw to bite at Xia Yan's legs.

Faced with the two attacks, Xia Yan stretched out his left hand and grabbed upwards, crushing the spear that Ulquiorra thrust at him. Then, he gently pressed down with his right hand, holding down the huge snake head. Arcs of electricity flashed, and lightning spread throughout the snake's body.

The red-eyed king cobra trembled, but with a sway of its body, it created some distance. Its head was charred, but it was not seriously injured.

However, Xia Yan's figure was halted by this series of attacks. The ocean swept in again, and a figure leaped out of the seawater, grabbing at Xia Yan's back with his right hand.

Xia Yan tried to dodge, but a hand grabbed his arm; it was Ulquiorra.

Xia Yan froze, and Herribel's hand was already on his back.

But in that brief moment of hesitation, Xia Yan had already turned around and used his left arm to block Heribel's right hand that was reaching for him.

However, Halibel immediately grabbed Xia Yan's fingers and, together with Ulquiorra, grabbed Xia Yan's arms from the front and back, fixing Xia Yan's body in place.

Just then, a figure flashed past and appeared behind Xia Yan; it was Nelliel.

A spear formed of spiritual energy appeared in her hand, spinning and emitting a hissing sound, before striking Xia Yan in the back.

Not far away, Ginjo Kūgo opened his mouth wide, and a crimson beam of light shot out from his mouth, heading straight for Natsuhiko's chest.

Faced with the two attacks, Xia Yan's body crackled with electricity, which converged to form a blue circular shield.

The Cero struck the shield, but instead of dissipating, it deflected and shot towards Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra quickly retracted his bat wings and used them to shield himself, forming a protective barrier.

The Cero released by Ginjo Kugo hit the bat wing, but did not cause him the slightest damage.

On the other side, Nelielu's spear struck the blue shield, shattering it into a massive explosion that sent Heribel flying.

Xia Yan leaped into the air, trying to create distance, but a wave crashed down from below, as complex as the ocean.

Xia Yan retreated rapidly, and Nelliel followed again, conjuring a spear in her hand once more, and thrusting out four or five times in an instant.

As Nelliel moved, Xia Yan's right hand conjured a lightning blade, which instantly unleashed four or five slashes.

With each slash, several arcs of electricity shot out. In the blink of an eye, four or five slashes had passed, and Neliel was already covered by the electric grid.

Nelliel lunged forward, causing layers of electricity to explode, but Xia Yan had already flown out again.

But then Ulquiorra flew over again, his right hand forming a spear of spiritual energy that pierced towards Xia Yan.

The two exchanged seven or eight blows in an instant, but just as quickly, Nelliel flew in again.

The two surrounded Xia Yan, launching continuous attacks. Despite being outnumbered, Xia Yan maintained a significant advantage.

But at this moment, the seawater surged in again, about to cover Xia Yan, when Xia Yan's lightning armor suddenly burst forth with endless lightning. The lightning spread in the seawater, and a figure jumped out of the sea, smashing his hands toward Xia Yan's head.

The six-tomoe jade on Xia Yan's back suddenly started spinning and struck Heribel, who was lunging at him.

boom.

A massive explosion rang out, and Harribel was blasted away.

Ulquiorra and Nellyel charged into the explosion from the left and right, attacking Xia Yan. The two exchanged more than a dozen blows in an instant, so fast that only afterimages remained.

In the sky, black, blue, and pale yellow figures transformed into arcs, flashing in the air.

However, after the arc circled around, two figures descended from the sky. It was Ulquiorra and Nereil, who were struck by Xia Yan and fell from the sky.

The two were extremely fast, but even with two against one, they were much slower than Xia Yan in his Thor form.

But at that moment, Ulquiorra and Nereil suddenly threw their weapons away.

"Thunder Spear"

"Emerald Spear".

Two spears shot towards him instantly, but they missed their mark, as Xia Yan had already dodged them.

But the two spears collided in mid-air.

boom.

A tremendous explosion, no less powerful than the Suzumebachi Raikoubu, rang out. The six-tomoe jade pendant behind Xia Yan spun, forming a lightning shield, but he was still blasted away.

However, thanks to the lightning shield, Xia Yan was not harmed.

But just after Xia Yan rushed out of the explosion, a blur swept over.

The afterimage was the red-eyed king cobra that Tsukishima had transformed into. Its huge tail lashed out, and Xia Yan touched the ground with his toes and disappeared from the spot.

But just as he dodged the red-eyed king cobra's tail, his body suddenly stopped, as if a pause button had been pressed, and he staggered.

"This is?"

Purple smoke swirled around Xia Yan, and this smoke was emanating from Tsukishima Hidekuro's snake mouth.

poison gas.

Xia Yan felt his movements slow down considerably, and then Tsukishima Shukuro's voice appeared, "The poison gas I emit can corrode a person's muscle cells little by little. If you go all out, you can use your spiritual pressure to force out the poison gas, but in this state, your cells are already at their maximum capacity. Can you still force out the poison gas?"

"So that's how it is."

Xia Yan's Thor state was already pushing his body to its limits, and the venom caused purple spots to slowly appear on his body.

hum.

At this moment, the air suddenly vibrated, and ripples spread towards Xia Yan. In the distance, Yin Cheng Kong Wu once again trampled the space, causing a huge shock.

"puff."

Xia Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling that the lightning in his body was out of control, and arcs of electricity began to spread.

Shocks, poisonous gas, and the power of thunder.

Xia Yan's body was gradually unable to withstand the pressure, and his skin began to peel off little by little, revealing the blue arcs of electricity inside.

Seeing this, Kyugo Ginjo stopped what he was doing and looked at Natsuhiko, shouting, "Stop! As long as you release your Bankai, the poison gas on Tsukishima can be easily dispelled."

But Xia Yan smiled and said, "Stop? No, I have finally reached my limit, and He has finally responded to me."

With Xia Yan's words, Xia Yan's body slowly healed, the purple spots disappeared without a trace, the blue electric arcs gradually subsided, and all the injuries on his body were healed.
