Chapter 264 The attacker that day
Of course, Aize and the others were unaware of what happened to Aizen Sosuke.
Not only did they not know, but after Hu Che Yongyin exposed all the truth, Aize and others suddenly encountered an accident.
“Bankai…”
Just as Kotetsu Yuyin's Tianting Kongluo ended, such a low voice immediately rang out.
"Clearing Insects Final Style: Yanma Cricket."
When this voice was rang out, among the crowd of Shinigami who were watching, the Zanpakutō in the hands of some of them released astonishing spiritual pressure.
The spiritual pressure turned black almost instantly and expanded to the surroundings.
And the ring-shaped decoration on the Zanpakuto Kiyomushi in the hand of that man - Tosen Kaname - separated from the blade, and rotated and expanded, splitting into several pieces and then expanding in all directions along with the black spiritual pressure, eventually forming a huge ellipsoidal barrier that enveloped all the people at the scene.
“————”
At this moment, everything disappeared from the eyes of the people within the barrier.
The immediate vision disappeared.
The voice in my ears disappeared.
Even the faint smell of burning and blood floating in the air disappeared at this moment, leaving no trace.
"————!————!"
The Grim Reapers within the barrier suddenly fell into a state of panic. Some shouted, some rushed around in chaos.
Aize stood there without moving, but his eyes could no longer see, his ears could not hear any sound, and he could not even sense the spiritual pressure that filled the surroundings. He became completely blind and lost all knowledge of the outside world. It was like falling into an abyss or a swamp. He felt himself being swallowed up by the endless darkness.
"Tosen is... Bankai!"
Aize did not lose his composure and took control of the situation.
Being familiar with the original work, he naturally knew that this was Enma Cricket, the Bankai of Tosen Kaname's Zanpakutō Kiyomushu, whose ability was to completely eliminate the hearing, vision, smell and sense of spiritual pressure of all people within the range of the barrier, leaving only the sense of touch, so that they could feel the pain of allowing themselves to be slaughtered by Tosen Kaname.
In this barrier, only those who touch the handle of the Qingchong Sword can avoid being affected by the power of the Yanma Cricket.
And he, of course, is not among them.
It was not only Aize who figured this out. Everyone else who knew about Tosen Kaname's Bankai ability, and everyone else who had seen Tosen Kaname's Bankai, all knew what was going on.
"Tosen! What are you doing...?!"
Komamura Sajin roared angrily towards the people around him, but unfortunately no one could hear him, including himself.
"Why does Captain Tosen need Bankai?"
"What is he going to do?"
"Captain Dongxian!"
The others also spoke up, especially the vice-captain of the 9th Division, Hisagi Shuhei. As Tosen Kaname's adjutant, he was desperately calling out to Tosen Kaname.
But they didn't know that Dong Xianyao didn't have them in his eyes.
No, Tosen Kaname couldn't see, he had no vision, so he couldn't see the panic and questioning of others at all.
There was only one person who was holding the hilt of Qingchong's sword in Tosen Yao's hand and moving freely in the barrier of Yanma Cricket.
“Bankai…”
Ichimaru Gin narrowed his eyes and smiled, holding the hilt of the sword Kiyomuseum in Tosen Kaname's hand with one hand, and the other hand had already grasped his own Zanpakutō.
Like Tosen Kaname, he performed Bankai without hesitation, making the blade of the Zanpakutō in his hand instantly become as short as a dagger.
But this short dagger has a power that even Aize is impressed by.
Now, Gin Ichimaru aimed the dangerous knife at Aize.
"God-killing gun."
The ultimate sword light burst out in the hands of Gin Ichimaru.
"Zheng!"
The clear sound of the sword echoed without anyone being able to hear it, and the bright and dazzling sword light instantly pierced through the space and hit Aize at an astonishing speed.
“Buzz!”
Aize did not react to this, but the Zanpakutō surrounding him suddenly became solid.
"Bang!"
A Zanpakutō was hit by the sword light and shattered instantly.
However, more Zanpakutō stood in front of the sword light and were attacked by the God Killing Spear.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”…
The sounds of shattering were heard one after another, and the Zanpakutō that blocked the God-Slaying Spear were shattered one after another.
However, the sword light transformed from the God-Killing Spear ultimately failed to break through the protection of the Arrow Blade Matrix and hit Aize in the sword formation.
“It failed.”
Ichimaru Gin did not feel any regret about this. Instead, he squinted his eyes and smiled, and in less than one thousandth of a second he retracted the blade of the God-killing Spear.
"The Heavenly Crown King... the power of that Zanpakutō is too exaggerated. It is even more exaggerated than the Captain-General's Ryujin Jakka. We can't do anything to him."
Ichimaru Gin admitted this fact frankly.
"…Just as Master Aizen said, Aize, this man may be a greater threat than anyone in the Gotei 13."
Dong Xian said this calmly, his previous hatred of evil had not changed, as if what he was doing at this moment was still a just judgment, but it was chilling.
"We can't help it. Captain Ai is a genius. Even Captain Aizen has to admit his talent. People like us definitely can't do anything to him." Ichimaru Gin said with a smile: "This person can only be dealt with by Captain Aizen himself, otherwise no one can handle it."
"Let's go, Captain Aizen should be done with his job."
"It's time for us to leave Soul Society."
Hearing this, Tosen nodded silently and was about to leave with Ichimaru Gin.
Just then——
"boom!"
Aize, who had been standing there motionless, suddenly burst out with golden spiritual pressure all over his body, and swung a powerful, overwhelming blow towards the direction where the two were.
The slash instantly flew towards Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname, and its true form was a sword pressure that gathered most of Aize's spiritual pressure.
The sword pressure pushed forward like a torrent, shattering the earth and burning the atmosphere along the way, causing Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname's faces to change suddenly.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Without even having time to greet each other, the two of them instantly left their position and avoided the incredibly powerful sword pressure.
"boom!!!"
The sword's pressure continued to hit the Yama Cricket's barrier, causing the dark oval barrier to tremble violently. Not long after, it was easily torn apart and shattered on the spot.
“Recovered!”
"Yanma Cricket has been defeated!"
“I can see it!”
The Grim Reapers breathed a sigh of relief when they discovered that their vision, hearing, and sense of smell had returned to them.
"Want to escape?" Aize moved his gaze and turned in one direction, saying, "Do you think you can escape?"
As he spoke, Aize took a flash step and flashed forward. In a few flashes, he caught up with Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname.
"boom!"
The Heavenly Crown King, who had gathered the power of all the Zanpakutō in the world, slashed down violently, releasing a terrifying torrent of power, which blew away Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname, who had raised their swords to block. The two of them were thrown backwards as if they were hit by a hurricane, and hit the ground, raising a huge cloud of dust.
“Cough cough cough…”
"What a strong force..."
Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tosen were suddenly covered in tatters, with blood oozing from the corner of their mouths. They stood up shakily from the deep pit on the ground, looking seriously injured.
"Why... do you know our location?"
Dong Xianyao couldn't understand why Aize could accurately slash at them with his sword in the barrier of Yanma Cricket.
In response, Aize, who fell from mid-air, said only one sentence.
"I can neither see nor hear, but the Sky Crown King will tell me where the enemy is."
Relying on the armed use instinct brought by his own authority, Aize had long learned to close his five senses and let his instincts drive his body to fight on its own.
The Yama Cricket that Tosen wanted was a big threat to others, but it was of no use to him at all.
“You haven’t forgotten, have you?” Aize narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile: “Back then, in the Fifth Division’s barracks, even though I couldn’t see you, I could still handle your attacks.”
Hearing this, Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname's faces darkened.
"...So you knew it was us who attacked you?"
Ichimaru Gin's smile remained on his face, but his tone was full of meaning.
Previously, in the 5th Division's barracks, Aize had encountered a mysterious attack while confronting Aizen Sosuke.
Although Aizen Sosuke did not take any action at that time, Aize was slashed twice.
The first time, Aize blocked it with his Zanpakutō.
The second time, Aize dodged it with instant movement.
The people who attacked Aize at that time were Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tosen.
The two men hid themselves with the power of Aizen Sosuke's Zanpakutō and seemed not to be at the scene, but in fact they were there from beginning to end and heard the entire conversation between Aize and Aizen Sosuke.
At that time, both Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname were surprised that Aize could deal with their attacks.
However, due to the circumstances at the time, neither of them took the matter to the next step.
Until today, the two were inexplicably discovered by Aize...
"That's right. Even Captain Aizen's Zanpakutō couldn't completely confuse you. Captain Tosen's Enma Cricket is indeed difficult to affect you. We didn't think it through."
Gin Ichimaru reflected on his actions obediently, but he was not forgiven by everyone present.
"Can I ask what you are doing right now, Captain Ichimaru?"
Hitsugaya Toushirou asked calmly.
"silver……"
In the distance, Matsumoto Rangiku was watching this scene, her eyes trembling slightly.
"Tosen!" Komamura Satsuki shouted at Tosen, asking loudly, "Why did you suddenly use your Bankai? What are you planning to do to us?"
All the captains looked at Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname with serious expressions.
Perhaps they had already vaguely sensed something, but Ichigo Kurosaki was the only one who looked like an outsider who could not fit into the group, with a confused look on his face.
The captains instantly turned their attention to Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tosen, and some were even ready to release their Zanpakuto to attack them.
Until a voice came...
“You ask them why they do this?”
“The reason is actually very simple.”
"Because they are both mine."
It was a familiar gentle voice.
That was someone who was supposed to be dead.
Wearing the captain's haori of the 5th Division and black-framed glasses, that person appeared just like Aize who first broke into the Double Death Hill, ordinary and calm.
"Aizen!"
"Captain Aizen!"
"Aizen! You...!?"
Looking at the slowly approaching figure of Aizen Sosuke, many people clenched their Zanpakuto.
If there were still people who had doubts and were unwilling to believe what Kotetsu Yuune had just said, now that they saw Aizen Sosuke appear unharmed, they would have to believe this fact.
Aizen Sosuke, this person is indeed not dead.
He faked his death and threw dirty water on Aize, causing Aize to be targeted by almost all members of the Gotei 13.
He was the one who arranged the execution of Rukia Kuchiki.
He was also the mastermind behind this incident.
He also killed all members of the Central 46th Room, committing a heinous crime.
"Blue! Stain!"
Abarai Renji, who had already learned from Aize what he had done and who wanted to harm Rukia, shouted at Aizen Sosuke with anger and hatred on his face.
"Are you finally willing to show up, Aizen?"
Only Aize was there, looking at Aizen Sosuke who was slowly approaching, his face full of calmness.
"Have I disappointed you, Captain Ai?" Aizen Sosuke ignored the others and the anger on their faces. He just looked at Aize and smiled gently as always: "Is there a moment when you wanted me to really die on that day?"
"I think I'm not the only one who wants you dead." Aize said calmly, "The person who wants you dead the most should be alive now, right?"
These words made Aizen Sosuke glance at something not far away.
"Aizen..."
There, Yoruichi Shihouin, her body covered with strange butterfly patterns, stood side by side with Soi-Fong, looking at Aizen Sosuke with murderous intent in her eyes.
If we were to say who were the people most persecuted by Aizen Sosuke, it was undoubtedly those people who were wronged more than a hundred years ago and had to escape from Soul Society.
Whether it is Urahara Kisuke or the captains and vice-captains who were once subjected to Hollowification experiments by Aizen Sosuke, they all want to kill Aizen Sosuke the most.
Shihouin Yoruichi was not persecuted by Aizen Sosuke, but in order to save Urahara Kisuke and others who were persecuted by him, she was forced to defect.
So, if we talk about grudges, among all the people present, she, Shihouin Yoruichi, is definitely one of the people who has the biggest grudge with Aizen Sosuke.
Unfortunately, Aizen Sosuke didn't even see her in his eyes, or rather, he didn't consider her a threat at all.
"Shifengyuan Yoruichi, I didn't expect it would be you this time." Aizen Sosuke said with a smile: "I thought that the person who was most anxious about me taking the Hogyoku should be Urahara Kisuke."
"In the end, he didn't come?"
“It’s really… so regrettable.”
Aizen Sosuke's arrogant words filled the entire scene with murderous intent.
