In the dimly lit room, the light flickered, and the shadows on the walls distorted and swayed with the changing light.

"This feeling is even more exciting than when I got a pentakill back then!" Long Wu rubbed his hands together, making a soft rustling sound as his adrenaline surged and his heartbeat became exceptionally clear in the silence.

The shocking revelation that Miss Chu Yao just dropped made him feel even more exhilarated than if he had eaten ten pounds of spicy crayfish; the burning sensation of the spiciness still lingered in his stomach.

Whitebeard stroked his signature long white beard, the whiskers making a soft sound as he rubbed them between his fingers. A hint of worry flashed in his deep eyes: "Things are probably not that simple... This Night Owl is colluding with Xuan Mingzi; there might be an even bigger conspiracy behind it all..."

Aizen remained enigmatic, a cold glint flashing in his glasses, like a icy lightning bolt in the dim light.

"What's there to be afraid of? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. They're just two leaders, let's just fight them!" Aizen waved his hand nonchalantly, a breeze rising from his sleeves, displaying an attitude of "I'm not afraid of death, I'll fight if you're not convinced."

Chu Yao held the data tablet, her brows furrowed. Her slender fingers flew across the screen, making crisp clicking sounds. Lines of code cascaded down like a waterfall, the light from the screen illuminating her tense face.

She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. A strange unease spread through her, making her back feel slightly cold.

Lin Yi rubbed his temples, feeling like his head was about to explode, with the veins in his temples throbbing.

This situation is even more tense than his college entrance exam back then; it's like a hellish level of difficulty!

Suddenly, Su Qing's body trembled violently, as if she had been struck by an electric current, and there seemed to be a slight crackling sound of electricity in the air.

Her once clear eyes were instantly engulfed by an eerie red light, which was as dazzling as a burning flame. A suffocating pressure emanated from her, and the surrounding air seemed to be squeezed by this pressure, making a "whooshing" sound.

"Long time no see, Lin Yi." A hoarse and chilling voice came from Su Qing's mouth. The tone was like a demon whispering from the abyss of hell. The voice echoed in the room, making people's scalps tingle.

The owl is here!

Lin Yi's heart tightened, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, as if his feet were on ice.

He subconsciously tightened his grip on the Time-Space Blade, the metal scraping against his palm with a soft sound. His gaze was fixed intently on Su Qing, or rather, on the Night Owl that had taken over Su Qing's body.

"Release Dark Blade." Night Owl's voice was cold and ruthless, carrying an unquestionable tone of command, its sound as crisp as ice shattering.

Lin Yi sneered: "Do you think I'm stupid? If you let him go, I'll be the next one you control!"

A cruel smile curled at the corner of Night Owl's lips: "Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin..."

Before she finished speaking, a powerful extradimensional energy erupted from Su Qing's body, sweeping over like a flood bursting its banks. Accompanied by deafening roars, this energy carried a nauseating, rotten stench, like the stench of a decaying corpse. Wherever it passed, space began to distort and deform, and the surrounding objects creaked and crunched in the distorted space.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this thing?" Long Wu was shocked and quickly hid behind the white-bearded man, his footsteps making a rustling sound on the ground.

Although Whitebeard was very experienced, he was caught off guard by this sudden attack.

He quickly released a shield, which emitted a soft light and protected Long Wu and Chu Yao. The shield made a "buzzing" sound as it collided with energy.

"Aizen, go!" Lin Yi shouted, his voice echoing in the room. At the same time, he activated the [Time and Space Domination] skill, and the surrounding space began to tremble slightly, making a hissing sound.

Aizen's lips curled up slightly; he had long wanted to spar with this legendary leader from another dimension!

"Swastika!"

With a low shout from Aizen, the Zanpakuto in his hand instantly transformed into a massive blade of light, radiating a dazzling brilliance that illuminated the entire room. The blade hummed, as if expressing its thirst for battle.

His figure flashed, appearing before Night Owl like a ghost. His fierce slashes poured down like a storm, the wind whistling and making a "whooshing" sound.

Lin Yi then used the [Time and Space Domination] skill to distort and fold the surrounding space, interfering with the Night Owl's attack trajectory, and making a "crackling" sound when the space was distorted.

The owl's attack was like hitting cotton; it couldn't cause any damage to Lin Yi at all.

“Interesting…” Night Owl snorted coldly, his hands forming a hand seal, and an even more powerful energy wave surged from his body, the energy wave like a surging sea, making a “whooshing” sound.

Lin Yi and Aizen dared not be careless, and the two went all out, engaging in a thrilling battle with Night Owl.

The roar of battle and the clashing of swords mingled together, making one's ears ache.

Chu Yao nervously observed the battle from the side, her eyes fixed on the data panel, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

She continuously analyzed the energy fluctuations of the night owl and passed on crucial information to Lin Yi and Aizen.

She discovered that the frequency of the owl's energy fluctuations would sometimes suddenly increase, and the intensity would fluctuate irregularly. Moreover, the energy fluctuations were interspersed with some weak and unstable fluctuations, like small whirlpools mixed in with surging waves.

“Night Owl’s energy fluctuations are very unstable. It seems… he hasn’t fully taken control of Su Qing’s body!” Chu Yao’s voice trembled slightly, but she was unusually firm.

Lin Yi's heart stirred; he knew this was an opportunity!

He took a deep breath and pushed the power of spacetime within his body to its limit. He could feel the power of spacetime surging through his body like a galloping horse, making a "clattering" sound.

"Time and space freeze!"

With Lin Yi's low shout, the surrounding space instantly froze, as if time had stopped. Night Owl's movements also stopped, and the whole world became unusually quiet.

"Now!" Lin Yi roared.

Aizen understood immediately. The light blade in his hand erupted with an even more dazzling light, so bright it hurt the eyes, and he slashed fiercely at Night Owl...

However, a strange smile crept onto the corner of Night Owl's mouth.

"You think..." "You think... that's all?" Night Owl's voice echoed in everyone's ears like a ghost, carrying a hint of mockery and sarcasm, and the voice was particularly clear in the silent space.

The smile that Aizen had forced into a corner by his Bankai now seemed strangely magnified, as if mocking their overestimation of their abilities.

This guy has been hiding his true intentions well!

Lin Yi cursed inwardly, "That old fox, he actually had a backup plan!"

A strange energy fluctuation emanated from the Night Owl, causing space to distort and creak.

"Spatial transfer? Trying to escape?" Aizen frowned; this skill was a bit tricky!

Unfortunately, the Night Owl was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared, leaving only a lingering chill in the air, like a cold mist that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Holy crap, where is everyone?!" Long Wu's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes dry with fear.

The next second, something terrifying happened—Night Owl appeared behind Su Qing!

He gripped Su Qing's shoulder with one hand, his scarlet eyes, like those of a venomous snake eyeing its prey, radiating a chilling light, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through one's soul.

"Su Qing!" Lin Yi's heart sank, and a strong sense of unease welled up inside him.

This guy wants to take Su Qing away!

A chilling smile curled at the corner of Night Owl's lips, his voice like it came from the depths of hell: "Lin Yi, the game has only just begun..."
