I Am a Heroic Spirit

Mako Hirako staggered forward, with deep knife marks on his back and blood still splattering in the air.

Behind Makoto Hirako was Aizen, who also had his back to him.

Aizen turned his head slightly, blood dripping from the Soul Zanthō in his hand. However, the upper half of the Soul Zanthō was wrapped in a golden rope. At the other end of the rope was Fengqiao Loujuro, who had already released the Soul Zanthō.

It was because of this that Mako Hirako was not seriously injured by the blow.

"Your abilities are still far from mine, who can control all five senses. This is child's play, Hirako Mako."

Aizen paid no attention to the chains wrapped around his Soul Zanken. He turned to look at Makoto Hirako and spoke in a matter-of-fact yet sarcastic tone.

On the side of the Shinigami captain, the first to rush over was Hitsugaya Toshiro, wielding the Soul-Zanking Sword, and together with Hirako Mako, launched a quick slash at Aizen.

However, even with Houqiao Loujuro restraining Aizen's Zanhuntō from a distance, preventing Aizen from extending his attack, even with his attack range reduced to less than half a meter, Aizen was still able to block the attacks of Hitsugaya Toushirou and Hirako Mako one by one.

He didn't even need to swing the Soul-Slaying Sword. Aizen, who completely saw through the attack trajectories of the two people, only needed to shift his body slightly to avoid their attacks.

"Cut him off and kill the snake!"

Sarugaki Hisyori also released the Soul-Zanking Sword and appeared in the air behind Aizen, using the huge blade to chop down at the center of Aizen's head.

Aizen calmly grabbed the Soul-Zanping Sword, pulled it upwards and turned it, using Kinsara to entangle Hyorinmaru and Nifu while blocking the Orochi that was chopped down from above his head.

"It's not over yet! Defeat him, Iron Dragonfly!"

Lisa Yadomaru rushed from the front, holding a spear-shaped flat blade, and inserted herself between Toushirou Hitsugaya and Mako Hirako.

Fengqiao Rojuro, Hitsugaya Toshiro, Hirako Mako, and Sarugaki Hisyori tacitly used all their strength to pull or press down to restrain Aizen's soul-zanking sword.

"The sixty-third way to bind! Bind with the chains!"

Arishoda Bokugen also launched the Binding Technique from a distance, binding Aizen's body with several chains.

"Twenty-one dragonflies drooping!"

Yadomaru Lisa knew Aizen's strength, so she used her strongest move right at the start. Aizen, who was restrained by Fengqiao Rojuro, Hitsugaya Toushiro, Hirako Mako, Sarugaki Hisyori, and Arishoda Bokugen, was obviously unable to use his Soul Zanto to block.

"Oh!"

However, the chains imposed on Aizen's body by Akitakata Bokugen were broken by Aizen in the blink of an eye. Facing the attack of Yadomaru Lisa, Aizen simply stretched out the other hand that was not holding the Soul-Zanking Sword and casually grabbed the blade of the Iron Dragonfly.

"How can it be!?"

Lisa Yadomaru's body floated in front of Aizen in a flying posture, and the Soul-Zanking Sword in her hand had been fixed by Aizen's power.

Aizen smiled slightly, exerted force in his hands, and with a crisp sound, the front end of the iron dragonfly was pinched into a ball of scrap iron by Aizen.

Aizen then launched a kick, hitting Yadomaru Lisa in the abdomen. The powerful impact caused Yadomaru Lisa's eyes to widen, her back arched high, and her body was kicked powerlessly high into the air.

Aizen swung his sword and chopped it down with force. The powerful spiritual pressure of the sword instantly broke Kinsara's restraints and repelled Hitsugaya Toshiro, Hirako Mako, and Sarugaki Hisori.

"What a weak attack. Where does your hatred for me come from? Or do you think that a fight of this level can defeat me?" Aizen did not pursue, but said disappointedly.

Hitsugaya Toushirou stood right in front of Aizen, pointed Hyorinmaru at him, and said righteously, "Aizen, you've said it before. A fighting spirit without hatred is like a bird without wings. A knife wielded purely out of responsibility can't cut you. I see you don't seem to know, so I'll tell you, a so-called captain only places responsibility on the blade and swings it for it. Fighting only out of hatred is nothing but despicable violence. A captain wouldn't call it fighting. Lanqi, you really aren't cut out to be a captain."

"How interesting... This doesn't sound like something you would say, the one who hates me the most among the Gotei 13. Do you dare to say that there is no trace of hatred on the sword you hold? Or... when Hinamori-kun's body recovered and came to the human world, your hatred completely disappeared..." Aizen laughed, as if in a provocation, pointing directly to the pain in Hitsugaya Toshiro's heart.

Almost everyone knows that the incident with Hinamori Momo is the most unspeakable thing in Hitsugaya Toshiro's life.

Just as Aizen finished his words, Kyoraku Shunsui suddenly appeared behind Aizen, swung his sword at him, and interrupted him.

Aizen moved and appeared dozens of meters away in the next moment.

"What a pity, you were just a little bit short. Be so calm, Captain Kyoraku." Aizen greeted Kyoraku Shunsui calmly.

"If you think so, it seems I can go further. Thank you for the compliment. But I still have to rely on sneak attacks." Kyoraku Shunsui responded provocatively.

"Then I will continue our conversation while being your opponent." Aizen still maintained that calm and composed posture, and his mood was not affected by Kyoraku Shunsui.

"There's no need to waste time talking to you, Aizen."

Hitsugaya Toushirou lowered his head and spoke in a deep voice.

Although the previous conversation was interrupted by Kyoraku Shunsui's interruption, Aizen's goal had been achieved. When it comes to stirring up emotions, Aizen is the best.

"Bankai, Daiganren Hyorinmaru!"

The temperature dropped suddenly, and a large area of ​​cold air spread. An ice dragon condensed and took shape. Its huge ice wings extended from Hitsugaya Toshiro's sword-holding wrist, and three ice crystals shaped like huge petals emerged on its back. A huge spiritual pressure rose from his body.

"You're right, Lan Qi. My sword carries hatred. I'm not here to fight, I'm here to crush you with violence! Scorching heat! Frozen rage burns throughout my body! Even if it means sacrificing the title of captain, I will defeat you with my own strength. Ice Dragon's Tail: Absolute Sky!"

Hitsugaya Toshiro roared, raised the Soul-Zanping Sword and swung it towards Aizen. All the directions where the tip of the sword passed turned into frozen areas. An ice dragon flew out from the frozen area and rushed towards Aizen with a roar.

Aizen stepped forward and flew backwards.

"Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King Ming!"

"Break it, Tengumaru!"

A huge mace and a huge machete fell from a high place, coordinating with Hitsugaya Toshiro's attack, attacking Aizen's body.

Aizen frowned slightly, but it was not because the enemy was too strong, but because the enemy was too weak. It was just to this extent that it had no effect on him at all.

Aizen slashed with his sword casually, and the bright sword light split the siege of the three people, Tengumaru and Tenken were separated, and the ice dragon also collapsed into a piece of ice debris.

"Too weak. Fighting with numbers, sneak attacks, disrupting the opponent, using bait. If you don't combine all the fighting methods you can think of, even if you want to catch me, it will be impossible."

Aizen's earnest advice made the Shinigami and the masked army very angry.

This didn't need Aizen to say it, the others understood it, but tactics were difficult to work for Aizen, whose soul-slaying sword was like a mirror flower and a moon in the water. No one knew whether the enemy defeated by the tactics that were finally completed was Aizen.

"If you are concerned about Kyoka Suigetsu, then don't worry, I won't use Kyoka Suigetsu's ability." Aizen also knew their concerns and said directly.

Everyone was shocked, not only the Shinigami, but also the Arrancar. Everyone knew that Aizen's most terrifying ability was Mirror Flower and Water Moon. Without Mirror Flower and Water Moon, even if Aizen's strength could still crush ordinary captains, his actual combat power would have dropped by more than half.

No one expected Aizen to say such a thing. In this life-and-death battle, he proposed not to use the Soul-Zanpakuto.

However, no one believes Aizen is lying. If he were still lurking in Soul Society, it would have been perfectly acceptable for him to deceive everyone. But now that they've become sworn enemies, if Aizen truly wanted to abandon his dignity and lie to his enemies, he could have gone even further, like using Kyoka Suigetsu's ability to assassinate all the captains before the battle. Aizen has the ability to do that.

"I'm on first, meow!"

While others were still hesitating, Arisawa Ryuki rushed out first, shouting strange words, stepping on the air, then approaching Aizen with vibrations, and then punched him hard.

Aizen raised the corner of his mouth, casually turned his body to the side, and dodged Arisawa Ryuki's fist.

However, Arisawa Ryuki's attack is a combo.

"Go to hell, meow!"

Arisawa Ryuki shouted and kicked towards Aizen from the side. The heavy kick made a sonic boom through the air.

Aizen stretched out his left hand and pressed down Arisawa Ryuki's knee, but he himself couldn't help but take a step back because of the huge force coming from his legs.

"watch out!"

Arisawa Soraki glared and used a move called "True Hero Kills with His Eyes". Two beams of light shot out from his eyes towards Aizen who was nearby.

"The Thirty-Nineth Path of Binding! Round Gate Fan!"

Aizen could no longer avoid this move, so he released the Binding Technique, forming a circular protective shield in front of his eyes. He loosened Arisawa Ryuki's knee with his left hand and stepped back.

"Bankai! Kinsara Dance Troupe!"

In the distance, Fengqiao Loujuro performed Bankai with the Zanhuntō, and the baton used to direct the dance troupe appeared in his hand.

"First sound: ocean current!"

Lou Juro waved the baton in his hand, causing the dancers of the Kinsara Dance Troupe to perform a dance around Aizen, creating a strong whirlpool of water to trap Aizen's movements.

Although it was an illusion, the auditory illusion that was used for the first time, which was different from the visual illusion, was still able to delay Aizen's actions for a certain period of time.

"Bankai: Iron Fist Cuts the Wind!"

At this time, Rokuguruma Kensei appeared behind Aizen, holding a toothed sword in each hand. He swung both swords at Aizen from above, and the explosive force turned into a whirlwind and swept towards Aizen.

"Super Kick!"

Kunan Bai jumped high into the air at some point, forming a straight line with Aizen from top to bottom. At the same time that Rokuguruma Kensei attacked Aizen, the whole person suddenly fell down, and a strong pressure formed under his feet.

"Chocolate bar curveball!"

Arishoda Boxuan created several three-dimensional square columnar barriers, which shot towards Aizen from the side in a vertical line.

"Ahh! Cut it in two!"

Kenpachi Zaraki leaped up from the other side of Aizen, gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands, concentrated all his strength and swung the sword towards Aizen, slashing at him with a huge slash of golden spiritual pressure.

"Black Flow Fangs!"

Ichigo Kurosaki, wearing a third-stage mask, instantly appeared in front of Aizen. Zangetsu, wrapped in powerful black spiritual pressure, slashed towards Aizen's shoulder like lightning.

The round gate fan was not an advanced binding technique. It was destroyed by Arisawa Ryuki's eye cannon in less than a second. The light beam shot towards Aizen who was suspended in mid-air without reservation.

The siege from six sides, coupled with Fengqiao Loujuro using Bankai to distract the enemy from afar, is a dead end for any captain.

"Good, but not enough!"

Aizen smiled. He had already broken free from Fengqiao Rojuro's illusion. In fact, he had already broken free from Fengqiao Rojuro's illusion when all parties launched the attack together. He did not dodge just to put pressure on himself.

Without using any fancy moves, Aizen still slashed the Soul-Zanking Sword horizontally, from front to back and then upwards, but in an instant, Aizen's Soul-Zanking Sword collided with Rokufang's attack.

Arisawa Ryuki's beam was cut, and Arisawa Bokugen's three-dimensional square columnar barrier was broken.

When it collided with Kurosaki Ichigo's Black Flow Fang, it knocked him away in one fell swoop, and was also pressed down several meters by the power erupted from Zangetsu.

When Aizen's movements collided with Kenpachi Zaraki's giant spiritual pressure slash, he paused for a second. This was the time necessary to repel Kenpachi Zaraki.

The attacks of Rokuguruma Kensei and Kunan Bai arrived at the same time. After paying the price of having his sleeves shredded by the whirlwind, Aizen's sword pressure made the exploding whirlwind disappear. The empty head was raised to the top of the head, but was knocked down by Kunan Bai's continuous kicks.

However, after defeating Kensei Muguruma's whirlwind, Aizen accurately grabbed Kunami Haku's ankle, threw him out, and crashed into a building.

"It's not over yet! Second shot, Volcano Messenger!"

Fengqiao Loujuro waved the baton in his hand, making the music echo in Aizen's ears, dragging Aizen into the hallucination again.

"Brand ghost!"

Kyoraku Shunsui's figure appeared above Aizen, and his two swords carried heavy spiritual pressure and slashed towards Aizen quickly.

When Aizen broke free from the illusion, Kyoraku Shunsui's heavy attack had already arrived. He hurriedly drew his sword and slashed it up, but how could his impromptu counterattack be able to block Kyoraku Shunsui's attack? His body fell down under Kyoraku Shunsui's attack.

"Thousand-year Ice Prison!"

Hitsugaya Toshiro had already prepared his moves. The moment Aizen was knocked down, he condensed the water vapor into more than ten icicles, trapping Aizen in the center.

"Ok?"

Aizen also saw the intention of Hitsugaya Toshiro and Kyoraku Shunsui to join forces. He stepped on the air with his legs, stood firm, pushed Kyoraku Shunsui away, and leaped up, trying to rush out from the gap between the icicles.

"Don't even think about escaping! Baboon cannon!"

"Go back! Dragon Pattern Ghost Pill!"

Abarai Renji appeared diagonally above Aizen, poured all his strength into the Soul-Slaying Sword, aimed at Aizen and shot forward, his snake mouth swooping down at him at the speed of a cannon.

Madarame Ikkaku held a huge machete in each hand, leaped up, and attacked Aizen together with the baboon bone cannon.

Both of their Soul-Zanking Swords were direct attack types, focusing on strength. The powerful impact knocked Aizen back into the ice pillar.

The icicles began to spin rapidly, one after another solidifying and freezing Aizen.

"Is this okay?"

Rangiku Matsumoto stood on the top of a building, looking up at the huge icicle in the distance, muttering to herself.

"Of course it's more than that."

Kyoraku Shunsui said this and inserted the black soul-slaying sword into the ground. A black shadow could be seen flashing in the thousand-year-old ice prison.

"Aizen's abilities are very strong in all aspects. If we don't trap him, even if he has a fatal attack, he will be able to dodge it. Their plan is for Captain Hitsugaya to trap Aizen in an ice prison, and then I will use my shadow ghost ability to see through Aizen's shadow on the inner wall of the ice prison and deal a fatal blow to Aizen."

When Kyoraku Shunsui told Matsumoto Rangiku their plan, the black shadow sword had already passed through the ice prison and appeared silently behind Aizen.

"Captain Hitsugaya's Millennium Ice Prison is a trapping tactic. After trapping me, they won't be able to attack me. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to finally trap me and then break the ice prison. So..."

Aizen, who was trapped in the ice prison, muttered to himself calmly, and slashed behind him with a spinning sword, breaking the ice wall behind him, and Hanaten Kyoukotsu was also blocked behind him.

"...It can only be Captain Kyoraku's shadow ghost, right? Captain Kyoraku."

Aizen slowly turned around and asked towards the hole in the ice wall behind him.

"Ah, you actually saw through me."

Kyoraku Shunsui's voice rang out, but it was behind Aizen. Two black scimitars had already passed through the shadows on the ice wall and slashed towards Aizen.
