Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

As a guardian of the Soul Society's order, Yamamoto is unable to directly attack nobles due to established rules.

But this did not prevent him from intervening in the struggles among the nobility.

Taking Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro, both nobles, as his disciples was also a means of restraint.

His friendship with Kuchiki Ginrei, the head of the Kuchiki family, was also based on this.

Yamamoto has done the best he could within the existing constraints.

Upon hearing this, Naraku Sora showed a look of disgust:

"If you ask me, it's the easiest way to cut them down one by one."

"Sousuke, do you have a better idea?"

After thinking for a moment, Aizen nodded:

"Of course, it will take a little time."

"As for now, we can just continue with our previous lifestyle as usual."

Naraku raised an eyebrow.

Trusting Aizen, he didn't press further. If this guy said he had a way, then he must have one.

"By the way, I recently learned a new demonic technique."

Suddenly, Naraku Sora thought of something, raised his hand, and softly chanted a demonic incantation.

"The ruler is a mask of flesh and blood, all things, soaring with wings, and bearing the name of humanity!"

"Amidst the scorching heat and turmoil, we surge southward across the sea, forging ahead with each step!"

Aizen watched with curiosity as Naraku Sora raised his palm. As the chanting continued, wisps of Kido spiritual pressure continuously condensed and rapidly drew in his palm.

As the last incantation of the Ghost Path was completed, a complex and fragile pattern simultaneously formed and fell.

Although nothing seemed to have happened, Aizen could clearly sense a trace of destructive power contained within the pattern.

When he extended his finger and touched Naraku's palm, an intense heat instantly swept out, and a fireball the size of a palm appeared out of thin air and suddenly exploded.

Its power is not great, and there is no need to defend against it.

The spiritual pressure swept through, instantly extinguishing the Crimson Fire Cannon.

"This is a triggered ghost path."

Naraku Sora grinned and explained, "I learned some Kido techniques from the old man in the mountains. They don't quite fit my fighting style, but I think you might be able to use them."

The triggered Kido is actually a reward for defeating Ishikawa Sosuke.

This guy set up an ambush at Mount Koibu, hiding multiple high-sequence multiple breakthroughs underground, and then triggered a terrifying scene that resembled a natural disaster.

However, in several attempts, Naraku found that achieving that effect would require a lot of effort and time.

Perhaps he could shorten this process with his perfect understanding of the ways of the demons, but in the end, it is still not as satisfying as drawing a sword and slashing.

Aizen gave Naraku a deep look.

Given his expertise in the art of demonic arts, he could naturally appreciate the value of this technique.

Although it's unclear whether Yamamoto is actually affiliated with this guy, this unwavering trust is enough to move anyone.

But if I really want to learn, won't I end up owing more and more?

Aizen recalled the fusion technique of swordsmanship and demonic arts that he had learned from Naraku Sora. That incredibly destructive attack method did indeed make up for his shortcomings to some extent.

"Hey, what are you still standing there like an idiot for?"

Naraku Sora turned around and urged, "You're not planning to learn this in the executive office, are you? If you blow this up later, Hirako Shinji will complain to the old man again."

Aizen looked up at the innocent face bathed in sunlight, sighed helplessly, and a smile crept onto his lips:

"They're here..."

Chapter 69 Is the Way of the Ghosts Such an Inconvenient Thing?

"First like this, then like this, and finally like that."

Inside the newly renovated dojo, Naraku Sora earnestly described the specific details of the trigger-based Kido and gave another demonstration.

This encrypted language, which most people couldn't understand, made Aizen's face show a thoughtful expression.

As a Shinigami with considerable talent in the path of Kido, he had mastered high-sequence Kido at a very early age, including powerful Hakudo of number ninety and above.

In addition, he has mastered the demonic arts techniques that can be learned at the Spiritual Arts Academy.

For example, double chanting, abandoned chanting, and chanting described later.

Triggered Ghost Path is clearly beyond the scope of the Spirit Arts Academy, mainly due to its difficulty in learning.

Simply understanding the construction of the ritual is no less challenging than relearning a high-sequence ghost path.

Mastering it is even more difficult.

Fortunately, Naraku Sora's explanations are easy to understand and often get straight to the core of the corresponding techniques, so learning them is not as troublesome as one might imagine.

Of course, this is from Aizen's perspective.

People at different levels will have different insights when learning the same thing.

"Hado No. 4: White Lightning".

Aizen raised his right hand, and spiritual particles spontaneously gathered in his palm. With near-perfect control, a relatively rudimentary mark gradually appeared.

With the injection of a trace of spiritual pressure, a thunderous roar suddenly resounded throughout the dojo, and a burst of dazzling lightning erupted, instantly blasting the target in front into dust.

When Aizen is alone with Naraku, he doesn't deliberately hide his strength.

Having gone through life and death together, Naraku Sora no longer had many secrets from him.

Putting friendship aside, it seems he has already sided with this guy.

"The destructive power has decreased, but not by much."

Aizen calmly replied, "However, the preparation time required is too long, making it unsuitable for combat."

Naraku Sora waved his hand dismissively and said:

"Sousuke, your thinking is still too conservative."

"Why build a trigger-based Ghost Path in front of the enemy? Can't you learn to be a little more 'upright'?"

"Besides hands, don't you also have feet?"

"Releasing two types of demonic arts simultaneously should be considered basic skill for you, right?"

Aizen: "?"

Seeing the puzzled look on everyone's faces, Nairoku had no choice but to demonstrate it himself, supporting his body with his hands behind his back and standing upright:

"You'll understand once you have a match between two mages."

"Apart from Kido and Shunpo, don't use anything else. You will personally experience the true wonder of trigger-based Kido."

Aizen nodded happily.

Although in terms of raw strength, Naraku is slightly inferior to him.

However, among the students of the same year, there was no one stronger than him.

Moreover, their speed of progress is so fast that it even surpasses his.

He was only a level 12 Spirit Might when he graduated, but now, in the blink of an eye, he's almost caught up with him.

Especially when he learned that Naraku had successfully broken through to the fourth level of spiritual power, even a genius like him felt a sense of urgency.

The exaggerated speed of his advancement led Aizen to suspect that Naraku Sora had taken some kind of forbidden drug developed by Shutara Senjumaru.

"Self-destruction, Rondanini's black hound, leap down, burn to ashes, and slit your own throat!"

"Binding Spell Number Nine: Strike!"

As the finger traced the outline, red patterns appeared in the air, instantly transforming into beams of light that fell upon the indigo dye.

"...Written, burned out, committed suicide and overflowed."

"Hado #14: Iron Slicer!"

Immediately following was a sword-like strike that shattered the air; a crescent-shaped demonic slash swept across the dojo, producing a sound like tearing silk.

Cracks appeared on the ground, and a sharp, menacing aura swept over us.

As Aizen dodged to the side, a circular fan that had been broken by incantation appeared out of thin air, firmly blocking the incoming Kido slash and producing a sound of metal clashing.

"Hado No. 31: Red Fire Cannon".

He didn't really like this broken path because it was too grand and would easily attract the attention of others.

But right now, it's the most suitable option.

It will not cause too much damage to the dojo, and it can control the rhythm of the entire ghost way competition.

Aizen was also curious about how Naraku Sora would use trigger-based Kido in battle.

"...Truth and temperance, unaware of the wall of sinful dreams, merely stand upon it!"

"Hado #33: Azure Flame Fall!"

One after another, the incantations of the Kido were chanted, and the surging Kido spiritual pressure intertwined, weaving an invisible net that covered Aizen within it.

A dazzling light burst forth, and a deafening explosion resounded throughout the training ground. Blazing flames, mixed with leaping lightning, indiscriminately attacked everything within range.

This kind of direct release of Kido is difficult to hit Aizen. Since it is ineffective, the attack range will be expanded.

By taking advantage of the limitations of the dojo space, you can force your opponent to take damage.

Aizen's expression remained unchanged throughout, and his Shunpo technique allowed him to easily dodge the surging Kido attacks.

Even if you encounter a Kido that you can't dodge, at most you can release a defensive Binding Path or other Destruction Path to counter it.

Similar to the technique of fighting against ghosts.

To Aizen's surprise, Naraku's mastery of Kido seemed to be no less than his own.

Some demonic paths are even stronger in practice.
