Death's Hidden Mobile

. . .

As soon as Aizen finished speaking, Xia Yan activated Shunpo Zan, his figure suddenly disappearing and appearing behind Ramirez.

But at that very moment, a cloud of purple smoke filled the surroundings. As soon as Xia Yan appeared, he was enveloped by the purple smoke, and the next moment, all the lightning energy around his body disappeared without a trace.

What happened? The lightning energy I generated has also vanished without a trace?

boom.

Xia Yan was hit by Ramirez's fist. He only had time to raise his arms in front of his body before he was hit and slammed to the ground.

Aizen smiled and said, "This is Ramirez's second ability. The purple smoke can neutralize the electric field and make the lightning energy disappear, so he can't use his lightning energy either."

Gin Ichimaru asked curiously, "These two abilities completely counter Natsuhiko. In the past few years, Captain Aizen has only been thinking about how to deal with him?"

Aizen smiled and said, "Of course not. He was just a test subject. The person I really want to deal with is someone else. I must find a way to restrain his abilities, otherwise my plan will never be completed."

Gin Ichimaru raised an eyebrow and asked, "Captain-Commander Yamamoto?"

Aizen nodded and said, "In the entire Seireitei, besides him, who else can pose a threat to me? Of course, it's good to be more prepared."

Xia Yan had no idea that he had become a test subject. He fell to the ground, feeling excruciating pain in both arms, making it difficult to move them again; they were at least broken.

Unable to use his Zanpakuto or Shunpo Zanpakuto, and injured, his combat power was reduced several times over. Meanwhile, his opponent's close combat ability was no weaker than that of the vice-captain. Although he didn't have Metastacia's hair, he was faster and stronger.

I have no way to deal with him.

Then we have no choice but to run.

Xia Yan knew he couldn't defeat his opponent, so he decided to retreat for the time being.

But just as this thought crossed his mind, a figure soared into the sky and landed beside Xia Yan.

Xia Yan dodged with a somersault, and boom, Ramirez slammed heavily next to Xia Yan, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Xia Yan had just straightened up and was about to run away when a fist struck him in the back.

Wow, that was fast.

This speed is already comparable to his own Instant Step.

boom.

Xia Yan was sent flying backward, crashing into the opposite wall before slowly sliding down.

"Jie Jie Jie."

Ramirez let out a strange laugh and slowly walked over, but at that moment, a circle of fire exploded.

The three demonic arts—Hidden Fire, Curved Light, and Crimson Fire Cannon—combined, engulfing Ramirez in an explosion.

"Oh?"

Aizen raised an eyebrow, clearly not expecting this, while Gintoki smiled and said, "This kid is really surprising, his talent in Kido is so outstanding."

The combined power of the three types of demonic arts is immense, far surpassing the power of the Crimson Fire Cannon.

However, he did not kill Ramirez. He emerged from the massive artillery barrage, his body somewhat blackened, but he was not seriously injured, only suffering some minor wounds.

It's worth noting that even a giant Hollow could withstand the Red Cannon without taking any damage, and Ramirez, after being modified by Aizen, had skin that was just as tough as a giant Hollow's.

However, when Ramirez emerged from the explosion, he found himself alone; Xia Yan had vanished.

Where did he go?

Chapter 71: Crisis

At this moment, Xia Yan was hiding below the rock wall. He first used the combination of Kido to attract Ramirez's attraction, while sliding down the cliff. When the explosion attracted Aizen, he took the opportunity to use Stone Wave to make a hole during the fall, hid inside, and then used Curved Light to cover himself.

Xia Yan could ensure he evaded Ramirez's detection, but whether he could evade Aizen, who might be watching from the sky, was another matter entirely.

All we can do is pray.

Despite the pain in his body, Xia Yan felt that this medium-sized Hollow was too targeted at him. It could render his Zanpakuto ineffective and neutralize lightning energy, preventing him from using Rai Shun'ou.

Even disregarding these factors, he still possesses considerable combat strength and spiritual pressure approaching level seven. However, all the advanced Kido techniques he has mastered are lightning-attribute Kido, while the intermediate Kido techniques are relatively weak.

Furthermore, its strength and speed surpassed his own, making it impossible for Xia Yan to fight.

Xia Yan hid in the cave entrance, praying that Aizen wouldn't find him.

Above the clouds, Gin Ichimaru suddenly laughed and said, "Captain Aizen, he got away. What are you planning to do?"

Aizen shook his head and said, "He didn't run away; he's hiding there."

Aizen pointed to a spot not far away, indicating that he had spotted Xia Yan's trail.

Gin Ichimaru asked, "What? Are you going to have Ramirez kill him?"

Aizen smiled and said, "Of course we should kill him. After all, Ramirez's two abilities are aimed at him. If we report it, it will probably make Seireitei wary."

After Aizen left those words behind, Ramirez swayed, suddenly looked towards the cliff, and said with a smile, "So you were there."

Ramirez flew off the cliff and into the cave. With a loud bang, the cave collapsed, burying Ramirez inside.

Xia Yan flew out of the cave and disappeared into the distance.

Xia Yan hid on one side of the cave entrance. The moment Ramirez entered, he rushed out of the cave, used Stone Wave to turn the rock wall above into sand, and took the opportunity to escape.

However, the sand clearly couldn't hurt Ramirez, who quickly rushed out of the cave and chased after Xia Yan.

Ramirez was incredibly fast, almost comparable to Xia Yan's Instant Step. With a slight flap of his wings, he closed the distance between the two.

Ramirez and Metastacia, although medium-sized Hollows, are not as good as giant Hollows, much less so as large Hollows.

However, it is extremely powerful, possessing not only special abilities but also an even more powerful form.

Metastasia has long hair that can entangle and destroy enemies. Ramirez, on the other hand, possesses incredible speed and strength.

His combat skills alone are comparable to those of a vice-captain in terms of unarmed combat ability.

Xia Yan looked at Ramirez, who was rapidly chasing after him. His back injury was causing him great pain. Just as Ramirez was about to catch up, Xia Yan suddenly stopped.

"Breaking the Path Thirty-Three, Azure Fire Falls."

Blue flames instantly engulfed Ramirez, but only for a moment before Ramirez burst out of the flames.

The Azure Firefall has a wide attack range, but its damage is not much greater than that of the Crimson Fire Cannon, and it cannot cause any damage to Ramirez at all.

But the next moment, six beams of light appeared in Xia Yan's right hand and flew towards the opponent, fixing Ramirez's figure in mid-air.

The sixty-first of the bondage paths, the six-staff light prison.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xia Yan turned around and left, but he hadn't gone far when, bang, Ramirez broke free of the light shard.

Although the Six Staffs Light Prison is a high-level binding technique, its power is greatly reduced after the incantation is abandoned. I can fix the power of intermediate binding techniques and intermediate breaking techniques at about 40% after abandoning the incantation, but the power of high-level binding techniques and demonic techniques is at most 30%, less than one-third.

Even Aizen, when using a high-level Destruction, can only retain one-third of its power.

So it was completely useless. As for the advanced binding spell that required full chanting, it had a total of eighteen characters, which Xia Yan didn't have time to chant at all.

Xia Yan felt the figure rapidly closing in behind him, and once again waved his arm. Bang bang bang, several light rods flew out, restricting Ramirez's figure.

The sixty-second binding path, a hundred-step railing.

Because it's an area-of-effect attack, its single-target crowd control is actually weaker. In addition, the weakening effect after abandoning the casting time meant that Ramirez only paused slightly before smashing the light rod and charging forward again.

Xia Yan was pulled closer by Ramirez again. Just as he was about to turn around and use Six Staffs of Light Prison again, Ramirez disappeared without a trace.

"Hehehe, I've got you."

A voice came from beneath Xia Yan. Ramirez had appeared beneath Xia Yan and threw a punch.

boom.

Xia Yan's right leg was hit by Ramirez and broke with a crack, causing his body to crash rapidly to the ground.

Damn.

Xia Yan crashed heavily to the ground; his right leg was shattered, rendering him unable to move again.

At that moment, Ramirez flapped his wings and appeared in front of Xia Yan, laughing as he said, "Hehehe, you can't run away now."

As he spoke, he walked towards Xia Yan step by step.

Xia Yan gritted his teeth, looking at Ramirez. Was he really going to die here?

But just as Ramirez reached Xia Yan and was about to strike, a voice rang out, "Let the water and sky reverse, Tsubaki."

With a soft murmur, a wave of water rose and swirled around Xia Yan. Boom! The fist struck the water, shattering the outermost wave, but the force was gradually eroded by the constantly replenishing waves. In the end, the fist was blocked by the waves and could not touch Xia Yan at all.

Ramirez looked up and saw a man holding the Trident of Poseidon standing not far away, walking towards him step by step.

Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Shiba Kaien had arrived, though later than usual, but at least she had come.

Ramirez can seal lightning-type Zanpakuto, but he cannot seal water-type Zanpakuto. With the help of the Zanpakuto's power, Shiba Kaien can easily kill him.

"Are you going to stop Ramirez?"

Ramirez looked at Shiba Kaien, tilted his head slightly, and the next moment, he suddenly appeared in front of Shiba Kaien and threw a punch.

"So fast."

Shiba Kaien was caught off guard as he suddenly appeared in front of him, but compared to Natsuhiko's instantaneous attack, this speed was far too slow.

It should be noted that Shiba Kaien had already gained experience in dealing with speed-type enemies during his sparring sessions with Natsuhiko.

boom.

Shiba Kaien's trident easily blocked Ramirez's fist. The next moment, a towering wave rose up, forming a vortex that enveloped Ramirez layer by layer, slowly crushing his body.

"Roar."

Ramirez's wings were torn off first, and it went berserk, raising its huge fists to attack the surrounding water curtain.

Boom, boom, boom.

Ramirez actually managed to withstand the pressure from the water curtain with his own fists.

"It is also very powerful."

Shiba Kaien was somewhat surprised, but then said, "But that's all there is to it."

With a swing of his trident, Shiba Kaien caused the waves to suddenly contract rapidly, transforming into a water sphere that enveloped Ramirez.

Ramirez inside the water sphere was still waving his fist, but the force was dissipated by the water flow, and he was unable to break out of the water sphere at all.
