Death's Hidden Mobile

Xia Yan abandoned the light form that Aizen had evolved into, but he himself was fused with his Zanpakuto and had already achieved the ability to control the amount of electrical charge.

This means that he can eliminate air resistance and generate a magnetic field to accelerate his body.

At the same time, his body transformed into a spirit form, and Xia Yan was able to approach the speed of lightning.

Even the Thunder God Tenjuro could only see the moment his figure appeared, but not the whole process.

Therefore, no physical attack can harm you.

Xia Yan looked into the distance, where the central island among the five floating islands would be the only person who could harm him during this trip to the Spirit King Palace.

The main military unit consists of one military guard.

Chapter 206: Ichibei of the Military Chief's Department

Xia Yan led Soi Fon and Aizen to the huge circular platform at the end of the Rei-o's pilgrimage route. Above them was a massive island.

This island is where Hyosube Ichibei lived, and you have to pass through here to get to the Rei-o Palace.

Xia Yan glanced at Soi Fon and Aizen and said, "The upcoming battle is dangerous. You two stay here."

Soi Fon nodded and said, "I understand, but Natsuhiko, you must be careful."

Aizen laughed and said, "You really trust me? Aren't you afraid I'll capture Soi Fon and use her to blackmail you?"

Hearing Aizen's words, Soi Fon snorted and said, "That's only if you can do it."

Xia Yan said calmly, "In that case, you will never be able to see the Spirit King."

Aizen nodded and said, "Then you better not die. I'm looking forward to you killing the Soul King."

Aizen wore a faint smile, his gaze towards Natsuhiko revealing a deep interest.

If there is anyone who makes him feel fulfilled in life and gives him a sense of meaning in living, then only Xia Yan can do that.

He made him realize that some people could be more cunning than him, and some people could be more powerful than him.

He had planned for over a hundred years, but it all ended up in his hands.

He was the first person I had ever recognized, appreciated, and felt qualified to walk alongside me in all my long history.

Aizen looked forward to Natsuhiko's future.

"Take good care of yourself."

As he spoke, Xia Yan took out a coin from his pocket, handed it to Soi Fon, and said, "Take this."

Soi Fon nodded and put the coins away.

Xia Yan lightly touched the ground with his toes and jumped onto the island above. Only one palace appeared in the center of the island.

Xia Yan looked at the deserted island, stretched out his right hand and grabbed forward, and countless bolts of lightning gathered beside the palace.

boom.

The enormous hall exploded, and a figure leaped out of it, arriving in front of Xia Yan and shouting, "Why did you destroy my residence?"

Appearing before Xia Yan was a tall, bald monk with thick eyebrows and a beard that reached his chest. He wore a wide-sleeved coat and had a deep red rosary hanging around his neck.

Hyosube Ichibei, leader of the Zero Squad.

Xia Yan saw the other party and said with a smile, "If you don't come out, I'll naturally beat you out."

Hyōsuke Ichibei glared at Natsuhiko and said, "Those guys are really incompetent, they were actually defeated by a brat like you."

Xia Yan nodded and said, "I think so too, so after I become the Soul King, I will send them to Seireitei to be captains."

"What an arrogant brat."

Hyosube Ichibei pulled a writing brush from behind his back, revealed a rugged smile, and said, "Then I have no choice but to kill you."

He held the calligraphy brush and slammed it down at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan didn't move, but raised his left hand and blocked the brush.

boom.

The brush struck Xia Yan, making a loud noise, but Xia Yan was unharmed.

Hyosube Ichibei put away his brush, looked at Xia Yan, and said with a smile, "Do you think my attacks are weak?"

Xia Yan shook his head and said, "Not weak at all."

Hyosube Ichibei raised an eyebrow and said, "Has your power reached its limit?"

Xia Yanping looked at the other person and said, "Of course not. Your power is extremely weak, like an ant. But what is powerful is your ability to sever the power of a name."

Upon hearing this, Hyōsuke Ichibei's face darkened, and he asked, "How did you know?"

Xia Yan said, "How I know is not important. What's important is why you don't ask me what the result was?"

Hyosube Ichibei snorted and said, "You know my abilities, yet you still took the initiative to contact my pen. It seems you haven't caused any trouble in Shanghai."

Xia Yan nodded and said, "Your pen severed the name of my 'arm,' leaving only the 'hand.' As a result, my power has been greatly weakened. But so what? Not to mention one hand, even two hands, three hands, or four hands, I can still appear."

As Xia Yan spoke, more arms extended from his sides, and he instantly threw several punches.

Boom boom boom.

The fist struck the air, creating ripples, but as the ripples appeared, the arm exploded one by one.

Hyosube Ichibei used his own fist to smash Natsuhiko's fist to pieces.

“I told you, I severed the name of your arm. No matter how many arms you have, it will affect you.”

Hyosube Ichibei laughed and said, "Your strength is great, but your weakened strength is nothing."

Hyosube Ichibei has great physical strength and can use his arms to resist Yhwach's Blood Armor attack.

"so what?"

Xia Yan snorted coldly, looked at Hyōjubu Ichibei, raised his right hand, and lightning flashed.

The next moment, a huge pillar of lightning pierced through the space in front of him.

But the moment the lightning bolt shot out, Hyōsuke Ichibei slashed at Natsuhiko again.

puff.

The brush stroked across Xia Yan's body, but did not cause him any harm.

Hyosube Ichibei looked at Xia Yan and said, "Now that you only have half a name left, what can you do?"

Xia Yan frowned slightly, but the next moment, a huge hand descended from the sky, striking Xia Yan's body and slamming him into the ground.

"Thousand-Mile Sky-Piercing Palm".

The enormous hand slowly dissipated, leaving only a pool of flesh in its place.

Hyosube Ichibei sighed and said, "Your biggest flaw is that you are too arrogant. You could have become the strongest Shinigami."

"The strongest Grim Reaper? Sorry, I'm not interested."

A figure slowly walked out from a distance.

Upon seeing the other person, Hyosube Ichibei frowned and asked, "You're not injured?"

Xia Yan shrugged and said, "Of course not. If it were really me, how could you have run into me?"

Given Xia Yan's speed, how could he allow Hyosube Ichibei to touch him so easily?

Hyosube Ichibei frowned and asked, "Then who did I just kill?"

"It's just a copy I imagined."

Xia Yan waved his hand, and a figure appeared in the distance, exactly like Xia Yan now. Xia Yan explained, "However, this figure only has half of my power and cannot use my abilities."

Hyosube Ichibei snorted and said, "Unable to use your abilities? I watched you use lightning right before my eyes."

You've misunderstood.

Xia Yan said with a smile, "Now, I no longer need to transform my own spiritual power into lightning. Instead, I extract the charge of all spiritual particles and gather them together."

As Xia Yan spoke, all the surrounding lightning converged, transforming into a gigantic thunder god that enveloped Hyosube Ichibei.

"Ten billion volts, Thor."

Xia Yan slowly uttered six words: Thor exploded, and the island shattered instantly, falling from the sky.

Chapter 307: The Power of Names

The enormous island slowly descended, and many people appeared in the Lingwang Palace district below, scattering and fleeing.

Seeing this, Xia Yan waved his hand, and countless currents converged again, forming a network that then became a magnetic field, controlling each stone to fall smoothly.

After Xia Yan finished doing this, a figure appeared in the distance, looked at Xia Yan, and asked, "Since you didn't want to kill anyone, why did you insist on killing the Spirit King?"

"You are indeed not so easy to kill."

Xia Yan narrowed his eyes, looking at the figure in the distance.

The Thunder God with 10 billion volts is even more powerful than the Thunder King Spider with 1 billion volts that once severely injured Aizen, yet he seems to have suffered no injuries at all.

"I simply cut off the name of the move, removing the 'hundred' from 'hundred billion,' leaving only 'hundred billion volts.' The power after that is relatively weak." Hyosube Ichibei looked at Xia Yan and said, "I originally planned to ambush you, but I found you saving the people below. I'm curious, if you don't want to kill people, why did you kill the Spirit King?"

This is what puzzled him. Not only the people below, but even those who attacked him, such as Hikifune Kiryu, were spared by Natsuhiko.

Xia Yan said, "I can't stand that the Soul King is protected by everyone, yet he can't make any contribution to this world. When Aizen attacked Seireitei, he didn't intervene, and when Yhwach fought against the Shinigami, he didn't intervene either."

Hyosube Ichibei asked with a smile, "Don't you think that treating all things equally is true mercy? Aizen is a Shinigami, and even if he possesses the power of a Hollow, Hollows are still part of the Three Realms. Shinigami, Quincy, Hollows, humans—everything is just part of the cycle of the Three Realms. How can a world without danger be exciting?"

Xia Yan said coldly, "But among these people who are being threatened are my loved ones, my friends, and my colleagues. The life of the Grim Reaper is long, and it is precisely because of this long life that the emotions it bestows are even more unforgettable. I cannot stand by and watch them be threatened, nor can I bear to see the Spirit King stand idly by."

Hyosube Ichibei then said, "But King Kerei is the wedge of the Three Realms. If we kill him, the Three Realms will collapse."

"I will become the Spirit King and protect everyone."

Xia Yan said softly, "And this is what I have been doing all along: protecting Seireitei, protecting Soul Society, and protecting all Shinigami. It is I who am protecting them."

Hyosube Ichibei said, "It seems that because you have done so much, you want to gain more power, and that's why you want to kill the Spirit King. You're just looking for a suitable reason for your rebellious act."

maybe.

Xia Yan did not believe that his conscience was necessarily fair, nor did he believe that he killed the Spirit King simply because the Spirit King had failed in his duty.
