Chapter 248 Why don’t you try again?
Of course, it was impossible for Shihouin Yoruichi to know about Aize's situation.
Not to mention her who is not in Soul Society, even others in Soul Society don’t know how Aize’s abilities in various aspects are progressing.
But Aize's words still caused a small critical blow to Shifengyuan Yoruichi.
After decades of practice, if I didn't achieve this level of results, I would be disappointed in myself... ?
No... How could a Shinigami who has practiced Shunpo for decades be able to dominate the entire Soul Society with his Shunpo skills?
Aize's words were simply Versailles to Yoruichi Shihouin, who had practiced for hundreds of years to get the title of "Instant God", but was now completely surpassed by someone else in only about one-tenth of the time, and by a large margin!
This is just comparing myself. If I compare myself with those Death Gods who have practiced Flash Step for hundreds of years but still can't use it very well, wouldn't they be ashamed to death?
Oh no, the gods of death are all souls, they are all people who have died...
That's okay!
"You are worthy of being the most outstanding genius in the past thousand years. No wonder even Lord Yamamoto Genryusai couldn't help but want to promote you."
The scorn on Shihouin Yoruichi's face had disappeared, replaced by a hint of solemnity.
"Since I'm your senior, can you let me go and take that kid away?"
Once these words were uttered, it meant that Shihouin Yoruichi admitted that she could not easily take Kurosaki Ichigo away from under Aize's nose.
Aize didn't mind letting the two go, but he felt that the stimulation he gave was not enough.
"Don't be so quick to admit defeat, senior." Aize suggested very modestly: "Why don't you try again? Maybe you will succeed next time?"
Try it... what the hell!
This kid is simply pretending to be ignorant even though he knows the truth, and is trying to make fun of us!
"call……"
Realizing that there was no way to fool her, Shihouin Yoruichi slowly let out a breath and relaxed his limbs.
“Swish!”
The next second, Shihouin Yoruichi suddenly disappeared and lost any trace.
And at the moment when Shifengyuan Yoruichi disappeared, Aize also disappeared.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound was heard, and the two figures suddenly appeared in another direction, where they collided violently.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”…
The figures of Aize and Shifengyuan Yoruichi turned into countless afterimages, each of which was in a different position. Each afterimage was attacking and defending each other, making the sound of fierce collision resound.
Aize and Shifengyuan Yoruichi both entered a state of high-speed movement, fighting fiercely at a speed that others could not catch up with and a frequency that they could not even see.
“Bang, bang, bang…!”
While moving at high speed, Yoruichi Shifengin, who used the flash step to the extreme, flashed his body and kicked continuously at Aize who suddenly appeared in front of him. Several leg shadows flashed by and landed on Aize's raised arm, causing a dull sound and knocking him back.
“Swish!”
After repelling Aize, Shihouin Yoruichi used flash step again and rushed towards Kurosaki Ichigo, but suddenly she felt a warning and threw several kunai behind her.
“Clang, clang, clang…!”
Aize appeared behind Shihouin Yoruichi, holding a sheathed Zanpakutō in his hand. Without even drawing the sword, he swung it together with the sheath, deflecting the attacking kunai one by one.
However, the kunai that was deflected by Aize started flying around him, as if surrounding him, making Aize feel that his hands and feet were restrained.
"This is……?"
Only then did Aize see clearly that at the end of those kunai, there were actually thin ropes like piano strings connected to them.
My body was unknowingly entangled by these thin ropes, making me unable to move.
"I advise you not to move around."
Shifengyuan Yoruichi's triumphant laughter reached Aize's ears.
"This is a kunai rope specially made by the Shifengyuan family. Not only can it be stretched and retracted to change its length at will according to my ideas, and it can be moved freely, but its attack performance is also not bad, and its cutting power is extremely strong. Even the spiritual pressure of the captain level can be easily broken and torn."
As the head of the Shihouin family in the "Ten-given Weaponry Band", although Shihouin Yoruichi has defected from Soul Society, he still has a lot of various magical weapons and gadgets on him.
These numerous magical weapons and props, combined with his superb skills, can often produce miraculous effects.
In terms of strength, although Yoruichi Shihouin is not bad among the captains, she is not extraordinary. However, with the combination of various armed props with magical effects, this former commander-in-chief of the secret mobile force dared to jump openly in front of the big Boss even at the end of the original work, and could even do something tricky to the opponent from time to time. It can be seen that as a surprise soldier, his role is far greater than his own combat power.
For this reason, as the former captain of the 2nd Division, Yoruichi Shihouin, who should have mastered Bankai, has never used her Zanpakutō in the original work, and there is not even a shadow of Zanpakutō on her body.
For her, who possesses all kinds of wonderful weapons and gadgets, if the power of her Zanpakutō is not outstanding enough, it would be better to just abandon it.
Under such circumstances, Aize inevitably fell into Shihouin Yoruichi's trap.
But he was not panicked at all.
"boom!"
An astonishingly high temperature erupted from his body, as if a purple-black magic sword suddenly appeared around him and slashed through him.
“Puff!”
The kunai rope that could tear even a captain-level Shinigami apart was easily cut in half by the purple-black slashing light.
"What?"
Shifengyuan Yami's expression changed slightly.
That kunai rope was a magic weapon specially made by the Shihouin family. It was so tough that even a captain-level Shinigami could only produce sparks when he chopped it with his Zanpakutō. How could it be burned off now?
Even the captain-general's Ryujin Jakka wouldn't be able to do something like this so easily, right?
"What did you do?"
Shifengyuan Ye took back the kunai with broken ropes one by one with one hand, looked at Aize with surprise and asked.
"you guess?"
Aize asked instead of answering.
The power that just appeared on him was naturally the power of the Black Furnace Demon Sword.
During these decades, although Aize has been practicing instant movement and ghost movement, he has not forgotten his own exclusive weapons.
Although he has completely mastered the power of these special weapons and no longer needs to spend time honing them, as his own strength grows day by day, the power of those special weapons is also slowly increasing, so Aize sometimes still takes them out to play with them and familiarize himself with them again.
Then, one day, Aize suddenly discovered that he could use part of his special weapon's power without summoning it.
Just now, Aize used the power of the Black Furnace Demon Sword to cut and burn the kunai rope of Shifengyuan Yoruichi.
Of course, Aize would not reveal such things.
"It's my turn next."
Aize didn't give Shifengyuan Yoruichi the chance to continue asking questions and directly stretched out his hand.
"The Thirty-second Way of Binding: Mouth Flashes Three Times."
Suddenly, three huge pointed beams of light appeared in a triangle in front of Aize's moving palm, and shot towards Shifengyuan Yoruichi like three light cones.
The pointed light beam targets Shihouin Yoruichi's hands and waist. Once hit, it will lock her directly and block her movements. Its nature is similar to the Six-Staff Light Prison, and it can be regarded as a lower-level version of the Six-Staff Light Prison.
Shifengyuan Yoruichi naturally did not dare to underestimate Aize's binding skills.
The information she had showed that among the four skills of Zhan Quan Zou Gui, Aize was least good at Pao Da, and was best at Shunpo and Kidou.
As for the slashing technique, because Aize rarely fights with others and has never even unleashed his Zanpakutō, decades have passed and no one knows how powerful his slashing technique is.
When performing the duties of the Third Division and capturing and defeating various beings, Aize basically only used Shunpo and Kidō. There were very few people who could force him to draw his sword, resulting in a lack of information in this regard.
Now, seeing Aize raise his hand and release the level 30 binding technique, even though the level of that binding technique was not high, Shifengyuan Yoruichi still didn't dare to take it head-on, and directly disappeared on the spot with a flash step.
"The Seventy-Three Ways of Binding: Inverted Mountain Crystal."
Just a second before Shifengyuan Yoruichi disappeared, Aize activated a new binding technique, causing spiritual power to gush out like a spring.
The gushing spiritual power formed an inverted triangular cone-shaped defensive barrier around Aize, like a blue barrier, separating the inner and outer spaces.
"Varied……!?"
The figure of Yoruichi Shihouin appeared within the barrier, and her expression suddenly changed as she looked at the sealed surroundings.
The Mountain-Reversing Crystal was originally used to resist external enemies and allow friendly forces to enter for repair or treatment.
However, Aize used it as a prison and directly trapped Shifengin Yorufu inside, preventing her from performing her instant step.
"The Sixty-One of Binding Methods: Six-Staff Light Prison."
"The Sixty-Two Ways of Binding: The Hundred-Step Railing."
"The Sixty-Three Ways of Binding: Binding with Chain Bars."
After blocking Shihouin Yoruichi's action, Aize, who was standing outside the Mountain-Reversing Crystal, immediately activated three more binding techniques, and each of them was an advanced binding technique, allowing six flat pieces of light to form from inside the barrier, suddenly shooting out, landing on Shihouin Yoruichi's waist and locking her.
Immediately afterwards, a light stick and a thick snake-like chain appeared out of thin air. The former split into countless light sticks when it was shot out, and held up Yoruichi Shihouin's hands and feet like a crossbow. The latter directly wrapped around Yoruichi Shihouin's body, binding her tightly.
"O Lord! The mask of flesh and blood, the one who has the wings of all things and the name of man! Carve the twin lotuses on the wall of blue fire, and wait for the abyss of fire in the distant sky!"
After completely restraining Shihouin Yoruichi, Aize chanted the spell of breaking the way, causing astonishing spiritual power to erupt like a volcano.
"The Seventy-Three of the Broken Path: The Twin Lotuses and the Blue Fire Falling."
Astonishing spiritual power gathered in his palms, and in an instant it condensed into a blue lotus that slowly bloomed.
A temperature even more terrifying than before suddenly appeared, causing the blue flame to fluctuate on the lotus.
“…Are you serious?”
Shifengyuan Yoruichi, who was tied up tightly, had a twitching face and sweat was flowing from his forehead.
"Don't worry, this is just a broken path. With Miss Ye Yi's ability, she shouldn't die."
Holding the pale fire lotus, Aize's face blossomed into a harmless smile, which made Shifengyuan Yoruichi's heart twitch.
"Wait, wait! I think we should just have a good chat first!"
Shihouin Yoruichi spoke loudly.
"Eat my dick first, then we can talk!"
However, Aize was as ruthless as an executioner. Regardless of Shifengyuan Yoruichi's shouting, he raised his hand and was about to throw the blue fire lotus in his hand into the Inverted Mountain Crystal.
If this shot really hits, it may not be able to kill a captain-level Grim Reaper directly, but it is more than enough to make the opponent lose a layer of skin.
Shihouin Yoruichi could already foresee her own fate.
Even Aize didn't think that Shihouin Yoruichi could avoid this attack and escape from the predicament unscathed.
There was only one person who couldn't just sit back and watch.
At the moment before Aize was about to throw the blue fire lotus in his hand, this person suddenly opened his eyes.
The blue spiritual pressure in his eyes flashed extremely brightly, as if it had become a tangible light.
"boom!"
With a roar, a terrifying spiritual pressure rushed up into the sky, like a pillar of light or a wave of light, evaporating countless rubble.
“————!”
At this moment, in the Soul Society, countless Shinigami with outstanding spiritual pressure perception abilities all looked over here with expressions of surprise.
Even Aize and Shifengyuan Yoruichi were shocked by the sudden and astonishing spiritual pressure. They turned their heads abruptly and looked over.
"Ichigo!"
Shihouin Yoruichi cried out in surprise.
Aize's eyes also lit up and he laughed.
Amid the blue spiritual pressure rising into the sky, the orange-haired Shinigami holding an exaggerated broadsword slowly stood up from the rubble.
There was blood all over his body.
His body was covered with scars.
But his eyes were extremely determined, with a blue light flashing in them, and his Death Armor suit was fluttering under the effect of the astonishing spiritual pressure.
That spiritual pressure was no longer at the level of a third or fourth seat, nor was it at the vice-captain level. Instead, it was genuine captain-level spiritual pressure, vast and terrifying!
“Bang!”
With materialized blue spiritual pressure surging throughout his body, Ichigo Kurosaki crushed the ground beneath his feet and rushed towards Aize.
He did not use Shunpo, or rather, he did not know how to use it at all, but the speed he displayed was in no way inferior to that of a captain-level Shinigami who used Shunpo, so fast that even the air made a sharp sound.
Aize no longer paid attention to Shihouin Yoruichi, and looked in the direction of Kurosaki Ichigo with sharp eyes. The blue fire lotus in his hand dissipated, and he spread out his palm and grasped the hilt of the Zanpakuto that was tied to his waist again.
"clang!!!"
Not long after, Ichigo Kurosaki rushed in front of Aze and slashed down like a meteorite, hitting the Zanpakuto that Aze pulled out at a very fast speed, causing a loud sound like ringing a bell.
Instantly, the force generated by the violent collision between the blades stirred the atmosphere, forming a shock wave that exploded in mid-air.
With blue light flashing in his eyes, Ichigo Kurosaki stared straight at Aize and without saying a word, he swung out the exaggerated sword again.
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding—”
Aize bounced off the exaggerated-looking broadsword, but the broadsword soon chopped down again straight ahead, without any fancy moves, with great force and power, as if it were a light lift, and it chopped down Aize's raised Zanpakutō again and again, forcing him to retreat again and again.
Ichigo Kurosaki displayed enough strength to force Aize to retreat.
That power is heavy and huge.
