Death's Hidden Mobile

Kuchiki Byakuya propped himself up and said to Kotsubaki Sentarou, who was walking over, "Don't worry about me, go help Abarai Renji."

Kuchiki Byakuya was defeated by Ichigo, but he did not completely lose his ability to move and has now recovered a lot.

According to the original story, he will also take a knife for Rukia.

Rukia Kuchiki quickly replied, "I can move too."

Rukia Kuchiki helped Byakuya Kuchiki, Sentaro Kotsubaki carried Renji Abarai on his back, and Isane Kotetsu carried Ichigo Kurosaki on his back. The nine of them left Soujigaoka and were caught by Retsu Unohana who was waiting below. They were taken back to the Fourth Division for treatment.

Now, only Yamamoto Genryusai and Ichimaru Gin remain on the entire Sokyo Hill.

Neither of them made a move; instead, they looked up at the huge, burning flame in the sky.

In the flames, Xia Yan stood before Aizen, looking at him with fury in his eyes.

Aizen was slightly surprised to see Xia Yan, then smiled and said, "Xia Yan, you're still alive. It seems I fell for your trap."

Xia Yan snorted coldly and said, "Of course you're not dead, otherwise why would I kill you?"

Aizen smiled and said, "Then come on, let's see just how much you've changed." To be continued.

Chapter 131: Swastika

"Get them treated quickly."

In the Fourth Division, Retsu Unohana asked Isane Kotetsu to take Kaien Shiba, Ichigo Kurosaki, Renji Abarai, and Chojiro Sasakibe to treat them. These three had the most serious injuries, but none of them were fatal.

Kuchiki Byakuya's injuries had mostly healed, and other team members assisted in his treatment.

In addition, Momo Hinamori and Toshiro Hitsugaya were also delivered, and both of them were seriously injured.

Retsu Unohana walked up to Rukia, looked at her, and said, "Come with me to the Abyss. Aizen's target is you."

"Captain Unohana, what exactly happened?"

Rukia asked worriedly, "How did Aizen become the murderer? And why would he target these captains and then target me?"

Most importantly, who took Aizen away from him?

Rukia was unsure, but the blue arcs of electricity that filled the sky gave her some doubts.

"Hurry up and go. Only when you reach the Abyss will you be truly safe."

Retsu Unohana took Rukia and left for the headquarters.

. . .

The flames in the air continued to burn, and no one could escape from the burning city walls, for all who approached the flames would be burned to ashes.

But in the center of the burning city, two people stood silently.

Aizen looked at Xia Yan and asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to make a move?"

Xia Yan suddenly said, "The Spirit King did not rule this world."

"What did you say?"

Aizen was slightly taken aback, his expression somewhat puzzled.

Xia Yan said, "I know your purpose. You want to obtain the complete Hogyoku, create the King Key, and go to the Spirit King's Palace. However, the Spirit King does not rule the world."

Aizen narrowed his eyes and asked, "How did you know?"

Xia Yan smiled and said, "You don't need to know how I know. You just need to know that the Spirit King is the wedge that maintains the Three Realms. Once the Spirit King dies, the Three Realms will collapse. And the Spirit King has become a puppet without hands and feet and no consciousness. Not to mention you, anyone can easily kill him as long as they get past the Zero Squad."

Aizen's face darkened. He hadn't considered this. He believed that the Soul King ruled the world and disliked beings who occupied the throne of heaven and were above everyone else.

He once told Ichigo Kurosaki that he wanted to be above everyone else and ascend to the Heavenly Throne.

But unexpectedly, the Spirit King had become the wedge.

Aizen's gaze fell on Xia Yan, but then he said, "So what? Only I can hold the throne of Heaven."

Xia Yan smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's nothing. I'm just telling you that what you've been pursuing is meaningless."

After leaving those words, Xia Yan drew his Zanpakuto.

Aizen said, "I see. You want to disturb my peace of mind."

"But he succeeded, didn't he?"

Xia Yan smiled slightly, gripped his Zanpakuto tightly, and softly called out, "Bankai, Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable."

As Xia Yan spoke, his Zanpakuto vanished without a trace. Immediately afterward, the spiritual energy within him transformed into lightning energy, which gathered behind him.

These lightning bolts slowly gathered and eventually formed a gigantic figure made of lightning.

He appeared wearing a crown and a long robe, and the surrounding flames seemed to freeze.

Legend has it that in the heavens above, there is a thunder god named the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder Sounds of the Nine Heavens.

He is the highest deity of the Thunder Department, residing in the Divine Firmament Jade Palace, and in charge of all the Thunder Gods under Heaven, the Nine Heavens Thunder General, the Eight Directions Cloud Thunder General, the Five Directions Barbarian Thunder Envoy, and the Thunder Department Commander-in-Chief.

Among the various departments, there are thirty-six Thunder Gods who act as deities to strike thunder on behalf of Heaven.

However, the greatest power of the Thunder God Puhua Tianzun is to govern the birth, death, decay, prosperity, good and evil, reward and punishment of all things.

He slowly stood up behind Xia Yan, but in an instant, he took another step forward, his figure merging with Xia Yan's.

All the lightning could vanish without a trace in an instant, disappearing completely into nothingness.

But the next moment, Xia Yan's eyes flashed with white lightning, and his mouth, nostrils, and ears all shot out arcs of electricity.

His clothes disappeared, turning into lightning armor formed from solidified lightning.

A ring of lightning appeared behind him, radiating destructive lightning.

Around him, lightning appeared and disappeared, constantly giving rise to and destroying itself.

In Xia Yan's right hand, a long spear formed of condensed lightning appeared, the white lightning crackling.

However, at the same time, bloody cuts appeared on Xia Yan's body. From the moment Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun merged with him, it had already begun to destroy his body.

"This is?"

Aizen narrowed his eyes as he saw the enormous energy emanating from not far away. The next moment, a plume of crimson smoke rose into the air.

Binding Path Thirty-One, Crimson Smoke Escape.

Do you think you can stop me?

Xia Yan suddenly spat out a burst of endless lightning, which pierced through the smoke. Aizen had no choice but to flee the area of ​​the red smoke and appeared to the side.

"You ran away, which proves you were scared."

Xia Yan looked at Aizen, but dared not delay any longer. He only had five seconds, and he could not afford to waste a single second.

The treasure wheel behind Xia Yan suddenly shattered, and the next moment, Xia Yan transformed into a bolt of lightning and pounced towards Aizen.

At this moment, Xia Yan's speed was approaching that of thunder.

This speed is several times faster than the ethereal form of the Twin Thunder Wings; nothing in the world can keep up with his speed.

Aizen instinctively tried to unleash his Danku, but just as he raised his arm, Xia Yan appeared in front of him, his lightning spear piercing through Aizen's heart.

"this?"

Aizen looked at Xia Yan, blood flowing from his mouth.

Xia Yan looked at Aizen and said, "Die."

As he spoke, the lightning spear in Xia Yan's hand exploded with a bang, radiating from Aizen's heart, and Aizen's body was torn to pieces.

Seeing this, Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief. The lightning on his body slowly disappeared, and his body was covered in wounds. He was weak and had lost most of his fighting power.

Xia Yan's fused state lasted for four seconds.

In his Shikai and Bankai states, lightning energy cannot harm his body. However, this move is a complete fusion of lightning energy and his body, breaking the boundaries between his body tissues and lightning energy, allowing every bolt of lightning to enter his cells, giving him absolute speed.

Therefore, even Xia Yan could not last more than five seconds.

After five seconds, the body will begin to completely collapse, and after six seconds, one will be destroyed by extremely powerful energy.

Killing Aizen in four seconds was enough.

All the lightning in Xia Yan's body disappeared, and he transformed back into his Zanpakuto. He let out a long breath and waited for the appointed time to arrive, when Yamamoto Genryusai would extinguish the flames that burned the city.

But just then, a voice rang out from behind, "A very powerful move, but it's still a little lacking."

As the sound rang out, Xia Yan looked horrified and turned around to look.

But the next moment, a flash of sword light appeared, and Xia Yan was struck by the longsword, blood splattering from his back. However, because he instinctively dodged and possessed steel skin, he only suffered cuts to his skin and muscles.

Then he created some distance, gripped his long sword, and looked at Aizen who appeared behind him with a face full of surprise.

How could that be?

Why didn't Aizen die? What did he just kill?

His self-destructed body possesses Aizen's spiritual pressure.

But why is he still alive?

Could it be that I've already been hypnotized?

Is everything under Aizen's control?

Aizen looked at Xia Yan and said softly, "You weren't hypnotized, which is your greatest advantage, and your strength did indeed surpass that at that moment. However, you seem to have forgotten something."

As soon as Aizen finished speaking, he appeared beside Xia Yan and, before Xia Yan could react, pierced his heart with the sword in his hand.

"Sorry, I can also use Bankai. My Bankai ability is to create a replica of myself in another person's perception, identical in appearance, smell, touch, sound, taste, and even spiritual pressure. This replica can move and speak, and apart from not being able to convert spiritual energy into power, it is no different from me. When this replica appears, my true self disappears from the other person's perception. Of course, after this replica is killed, my true self will also appear. I released the Crimson Smoke Shield not to escape, but to activate my Bankai."

Aizen left those words behind, drew his sword, and Natsuhiko's eyes were filled with regret.

Yes, Aizen can use Bankai.

I hadn't paid attention to this matter at all, and I simply couldn't have.

Because he had no idea what Aizen's Bankai was, he never used Bankai in the original work.

But how could Aizen, who had reached the pinnacle of Shinigami, not know how to use Bankai?

Xia Yan's body slowly fell, his eyes filled with resentment and helplessness.
