Death's Hidden Mobile

But no matter what Xia Yan thought, he couldn't change the outcome.

Because in this world, what matters is not whether their thoughts are right or wrong, but how they actually think.

They thought that way, and that's why the world became what it is.

Simply because they have the power to change the world.

Xia Yan smiled and said, "Since that's what you think, then let's do it your way."

Hyosube Ichibei squinted and said, "I'll give you one more chance. Leave here, and I'll spare your life."

Xia Yan shook his head and said, "I don't need your opportunity, and no one can kill me."

"Then die."

Hyosube Ichibei gripped his brush tightly and shouted, "Dye it black, Ichimonji!"

The tip of the brush in his hand transformed into a blade, and then he flashed into Xia Yan's presence, unleashing a slash.

But Xia Yan's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, appearing in the distance.

"Don't run."

Hyobu Ichibei's figure flashed as he chased after Natsuhiko, but he was never able to catch up.

"You're too slow. No matter what you do, you won't be able to touch me."

Xia Yan smiled and said to Heiji Ichibei.

"Really? But how far can you go now?"

As Hyosube Ichibei spoke, he leaped toward Natsuhiko once more. Natsuhiko tried to retreat, but a barrier appeared behind him.

"seal up."

Xia Yan found himself unable to retreat even a step.

Xia Yan leaped to the other side, but a similar barrier appeared in that location.

"I know I'm not as fast as you, so I used a barrier when I was chasing you."

Hyōsuke Ichibei appeared before Natsuhiko, slashing out with his pen-sword.

Xia Yan raised his right hand, lightning flashed, and a lightning blade formed, blocking the blade.

But the next moment, the Thunder Blade shattered with a crash, and the Ichimonji cleaved down again.

This time, Xia Yan tried to gather electrical energy, but found that Lei's ability was ineffective.

"It's very simple. My Ichimonji can erase the name of anything it strikes. Once the erased name disappears, the power dissipates. Can you still remember the name of your Zanpakuto now?"

Hyosube Ichibei asked with a smile, brandishing the Ichimonji in his hand once again.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan imagined the name of his Zanpakuto, but found himself unable to utter it.

I can't remember, I can't say it, it's completely unusable.

This is the ability of Hyosube Ichibei's Zanpakuto after its Shikai release. It is different from when it is not in Shikai. When it is not in Shikai, it can only cut off names, but after Shikai, it can take away the name of the thing it cuts, rendering it ineffective.

Facing the downward swing of Ichimonji by Hyosube Ichibei, Natsuhiko raised his right hand to block in front of him.

The sword struck Xia Yan's body, instantly stripping him of his name.

"Power is disappearing, ability is vanishing without a trace."

Xia Yan was instantly plunged into complete darkness. Without his name, he lost all his abilities.

"Right now, you are nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter."

Hyosube Ichibei gripped the Ichimonji and shouted again, "Aren't you terrified without a name? But I will give you a new name."

"Really fight, one word with a white pen."

Hyosube Ichibei's brush suddenly changed, the tip turning white. "The new name seems to be Bankai? But many years before Bankai was born, there were only evolving Zanpakuto. A Zanpakuto kept evolving until it became a Shin-uchi. And my Shin-uchi can add a new name to the matter that has been erased by Ichimonji."

As Hyosube Ichibei spoke, he instantly left white words on Natsuhiko's body.

Black ants.

"Right now, you are as weak as a black ant."

Hyosube Ichibei said, clasping his hands together.

Two enormous hands attacked from the left and right, bringing Xia Yan's palms together and pressing them into the middle, crushing him.

Splash!

Xia Yan's body shattered and was crushed bit by bit.

"You seemed to have said you couldn't die? But black ants can be killed, so I can kill you."

Hyosube Ichibei said with a smile.

Aizen, standing on the outer entrance of the Soul King Palace, sighed upon seeing this scene and said, "He was too careless, and the opponent's strength was far too overwhelming."

Hyosube Ichibei's strength was beyond Aizen's imagination, especially his Shikai and True Fighting abilities, which were incredibly powerful.

Cut off the name, give it a name.

Such strength is astonishing.

"Hey?"

Soi Fon stared blankly at the empty space in front of her and asked, "You're saying Natsuhiko is dead?"

Aizen was about to answer the question when a voice rang out, "Thank you for calling my name."

As the sound rang out, darkness filled the sky, gathering together, and finally a figure leaped out.

He emerged from the black shadows, stood there, and said, "I told you, I will not die."

Hyosube Ichibei said in disbelief, "Impossible! You couldn't possibly have escaped my power. I erased your Zanpakuto, erased your name, turned you into an ant, and utterly destroyed you. I should have killed you."

"You did kill me."

Xia Yan looked at Hyosugi Ichibei and asked, "But I want to ask you a question: will you be killed?"

Upon hearing this, Hyosube Ichibei narrowed his eyes and said, "You actually..."

Chapter 308: Despair

Hyosube Ichibei looked at Xia Yan with a serious expression and asked, "You copied my ability?"

Xia Yan said with a smile, "You cannot be killed. As long as your name is called, you can be summoned back. So, before I fought you, I poured everything into my name. After I die, as long as you call my name, I can be resurrected and return to the state before I fought you."

Hyosube Ichibei frowned and said, "But I erased your name, so your name should be invalid."

Xia Yan nodded and said with a smile, "You only erased the connection between me and my name. By stripping me of my name, you stripped me of my existence, but you cannot make the name disappear."

Hyosube Ichibei had erased Yhwach's name, but he could still call out Yhwach's name, and the person he was referring to was still Yhwach.

As long as one has a name, and that name refers to oneself, then one can be resurrected.

Xia Yan infused himself into his name before it was erased. After being killed by Hyosube Ichibei, he used the name to restore himself to his original state before it was taken away.

“Your abilities are very strong; you can make someone lose their original abilities by giving them a new name. So you can kill me, but can you still kill me, who can be resurrected with just a name?” Xia Yan asked softly.

"Then I will not kill you, but turn you into an ant and seal you here."

"Ichibei Hyobu said coldly, and charged toward Xia Yan again."

Xia Yanfei stepped back, but a "sealed" sign appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

"It's no use, you can't escape."

Hyosube Ichibei snorted coldly, but the next moment, Xia Yan passed directly through the barrier.

"how is this possible?"

Hyōsuke Ichibei's expression changed drastically; his seal had failed.

Xia Yan smiled slightly, waved his right hand, and a streak of ink flew through the air, writing a single character: "Sealed".

"Look, I can do it too." Xia Yan's expression was full of mockery.

"How is this possible? How can you use my abilities?"

Hyobu Ichibei looked at Natsuhiko in disbelief.

Xia Yan said, "When you struck me and touched my Zanpakuto, I read your Shikai information and thus created another Ichimonji."

"Your Shikai Ichimonji can erase all names, and each Shikai allows you to control the darkness of the world. It's a truly powerful ability."

Hyosube Ichibei had his power stolen by Yhwach using the Seize Altar technique, but thanks to Ichimonji's ability, the stolen power returned to him.

Once you decipher a single character, you can control all the darkness in the world; and now, Xia Yan can do the same.

Xia Yan looked at Hyosube Ichibei and said with a smile, "My ability is to make dreams come true. As long as I want it, it can become reality. Thank you, I can finally truly master my ability."

Xia Yan extended his right hand and said, "I bestow upon you the power of etherealization."

As Xia Yan spoke, Hyosube Ichibei's soul suddenly changed, and an invisible force invaded his body.

His soul was collapsing, and without a potion to stop the limitless destruction, he could not control the etherealization.

But at that moment, Hyōsuke Ichibei's brush slashed at himself, erasing the illusory character and sparing him from the invasion of the illusory form.

"The reaction was very quick."

Xia Yan looked at Hyosube Ichibei and said, "However, this is just to show you and me our strength. If you don't have any other means, I will have no choice but to kill you."

As Xia Yan spoke, the lightning on his body surged again and merged into his body.

"Humph."

Hyōsuke Ichibei snorted coldly, and with a grab of his left hand, a giant hand appeared and slashed towards Natsuhiko.

Xia Yan neither dodged nor evaded, but threw out his right fist, which struck the giant hand.

boom.

The giant hand shattered instantly, turning into countless streams of spiritual energy that scattered and fled.

But behind the giant hand, a huge dragon head appeared, pointing at Xia Yan.

"The third of the three broken paths, Iron Wind Kill."
