Chapter 280: Use this trick to return the favor
Unlike the Shinigami, the Arrancar's Zanpakutō are all cores sealed from their original power.
When an Arrancar releases his Zanpakutō, he is actually releasing the seal on the core, restoring himself to his original appearance.
This process is called the Return to the Blade. Although it is performed by calling the name of the Zanpakutō just like the Shinigami's Shikai, the improvement obtained after the Arrancar's Return to the Blade is much greater than the ordinary Shikai, especially the improvement in strength, which can be completely called the Hollow's Bankai.
At this time, Grimmjow performed the Return to Blade, freed his Zanpakutō, restored it to its original appearance, and burst out with astonishing power.
At this moment, the spiritual pressure that erupted from his body even exceeded that of Ulquiorra, who had not yet released his Zanpakutō.
The flow of power brought about a storm and endless dust, causing the strong wind to hit Aize, causing Aize's death suit and captain's feather ornament to fluctuate violently.
Feeling Grimmjow's power, Aize looked calm and even smiled.
"Saber Blade Matrix!"
The phantoms of countless swords and knives surrounding the Sky Crown King suddenly flew to Aize's body, hovering back and forth around him, rising and falling.
"Leopard hook!"
At the same time, Grimmjow raised his arm and bent his elbow, allowing five emerald green scaly spikes to pop out from his elbow. He fired them out like a bullet, causing the spikes to cut through the air and whizzed towards Aize.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
The next second, the scaly spikes hit the Zanpakutō hovering around Aize one by one, piercing, cutting, and shattering each Zanpakutō.
At first glance, these few small things seemed insignificant, but they actually exploded with enough power to shatter a Zanpakuto. If someone else saw this scene, they would be shocked.
Unfortunately, the five emerald green scales were clearly not enough to break through the Arrow Blade Matrix. Even if they could shatter a few Zanpakutō, there were still thousands of Zanpakutō waiting for them to break through.
Without a single strike to destroy all the power of the Zanpakutō, there would be no way to break through the protection of the Arrow Matrix and hurt Aize, allowing Aize to withstand this wave of attacks unscathed.
"boom!"
Just as Grimmjow's attack ended, Aize suddenly swung his sword and slashed at the ground, releasing an astonishing wave of power, hitting the area where Grimmjow and the others were.
The white sand and gravel were immediately blown into the sky by the powerful torrent of force, and that area exploded with a roar, turning into a deep pit.
"Claw of the Leopard King!"
Grimmjow rushed out with an agile figure and an astonishing speed, like a cheetah running in the air. He flew towards Azer while raising his claws. Two huge blue claw lights as transparent as glass opened at the tips of his claws. As Grimmjow swung them, he slashed at Azer violently.
"boom!"
The claw light fell fiercely on the countless Zanpakuto that were hovering around Aize, causing a loud roar, as if to knock Aize away and cut him into pieces, bursting out with terrible sharpness and power.
Aize took the attack without dodging, and even rushed forward against the huge blue claw light, shattering it like real glass.
"What?"
Grimmjow was so shocked by this scene that his figure, which was charging forward, froze for a moment and stopped in mid-air.
In this situation, Aize rushed in front of Grimmjow.
“Puff!”
The gorgeous and noble Zanpakuto flashed, and Aize's Heavenly Crown King instantly cut through Grimmjow's tight armor, cutting a hideous wound on his body.
"asshole!"
Grimmjow was furious. He stretched out his hands and slashed with both claws, drawing out long streaks of light and grabbing Aize's body.
“Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang…!”
Long rays of light fell on the arrow blade matrix, creating sparks in the fierce collision.
Grimmjow's angry claw attacks were all blocked by the Arrow Blade Matrix.
On the other hand, Aize completely gave up on defense, or rather, he completely relied on the defensive power of the Arrow Blade Matrix. He ignored Grimmjow's attacks and slashed dozens of times when the opponent attacked him, hitting Grimmjow's body one by one.
“Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!”…
Suddenly, Grimmjow's leopard-like body was easily torn apart by the blows, leaving wounds and splashing a lot of blood.
“Gahhh…!”
Grimmjow couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, and the frequency of his attacks suddenly slowed down.
"Trade your injuries with me? Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your brain?"
Aize laughed, then slashed Grimmjow's abdomen with a knife. The knife burst out with amazing power, knocking Grimmjow away.
Grimmjow, who was knocked flying, crashed into a huge dead tree. The dead tree was as big as a mountain. After being hit by Grimmjow, it shattered on the spot and turned into countless fragments that scattered on the white ground.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
At this moment, with two strange noises in the space, Ulquiorra and Yammy appeared on the left and right sides of Aize respectively.
"Flash."
Ulquiorra stretched out his fingers, and a high concentration of spiritual pressure gathered at his fingertips, which emitted an emerald green light while transforming into an emerald green flash, engulfing Aize like a torrent.
"Take this move of mine! Fake bullet!"
Ya Mi roared angrily, and red electric currents burst out from both of his hands. He fired out virtual bullets as if they were free, and they turned into red shells that were enough to evaporate the atmosphere, covering Aize like an overwhelming force.
However, no matter whether it was Ulquiorra's Hollow Flash or Yami's continuous Hollow Bullets, when they hit Azer, they were all blocked by the countless Zanpakutō around him, causing the Hollow Flash to splash away like waves hitting reefs, and the Hollow Bullets exploded one after another, and none of them could touch Azer in the Arrow Blade Matrix.
"The blade kills!"
After enduring the attacks from the two Espadas, Aize raised his head and raised the Heavenly Crown King in his hand. The Zanpakutō around him immediately moved as if they had become substance, shooting around like arrows, and in an instant arrived in front of the two Espadas.
“……!”
Ulquiorra's expression changed slightly, and his figure disappeared through space, avoiding the countless swords that were attacking him.
But Ya Mi was not so lucky.
“Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!”…
As the sound of flesh being torn rang out, Yami's sturdy body was instantly pierced by countless Zanpakutō.
His steel skin and his physical defense did not seem to be very strong in front of the attacking Zanpakutō and were easily pierced through.
"hateful……"
Yami, whose body was pierced by Zanpakuto, fell to the ground while blood spurted out and he spat out bloody words.
"boom!"
Aize released a sword pressure attack like a crescent moon rushing into the sky towards Yami who was falling to the ground. The golden sword pressure fell from the sky, hitting Yami and completely shattering Yami's body.
The tenth Blade, Yami Rialgo, died here.
“Buzz——”
Suddenly, from the other end of the white desert, a violent vibration of spiritual pressure was transmitted, causing Aize, who had killed Yami with one sword, to turn his head and look over.
There, Grimmjow knelt on one knee on the ground, one hand stretched out in his direction, while the other hand firmly grasped the outstretched hand, allowing an astonishing spiritual pressure to gather in front of the outstretched hand.
The blood gushing out of Grimmjow's body actually mixed into the spiritual pressure, turning it into a blue-green color.
The blue-green spiritual pressure finally transformed into a sphere with jagged light, aiming at Aize and illuminating Grimmjow's face with blood at the corner of his mouth.
"This is a special Void Flash that only the Ten Espada can use! Its power is several times or even dozens of times higher than that of ordinary Void Flashes!"
Grimmjow roared fiercely.
"With just this one strike, even time and space can be distorted, so it is absolutely forbidden to use under normal circumstances!"
However, Grimmjow obviously no longer cared about such a ban.
"Take this power mixed with the blood of the Espada and enjoy it!"
Grimmjow roared.
"Take it! Wang Xu's Flash!"
The ball of spiritual pressure with jagged light gathered in Grimmjow's palm suddenly shot out, causing a violent airflow and roar.
Wherever it passed, the space was actually distorted just as Grimmjow said.
Aize could feel the horror of this attack.
If we only talk about the power of this attack, Wang Xu's flash has surpassed the torch released by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni with his Ryujin Jakka.
Aize has been in this world for decades, and the strongest attack he has encountered in these decades is the one he is facing at this moment.
so……
"Although I don't think this attack can break through the defense of the Arrow Blade Matrix, but as a token of respect, let me return the favor with this move."
The countless Zanpakutō hovering around Aize shattered.
The broken Zanpakutō turned into pure spiritual pressure and gathered on the Heavenly Crown King in Aize's hand.
"The arrow blade destroys!"
The power of all Zanpakutō in this world was transformed into pure spiritual pressure, and the sword was swung out, blooming again at this moment.
"boom!!!"
When the golden slash came out like splitting mountains and cutting seas, the white desert was cut in half.
White sand and gravel surged into the sky like a tsunami.
Wang Xu's flash, which was powerful enough to distort space, was instantly cut off and annihilated into nothingness.
Grimmjow didn't even have time to react, still kneeling on one knee with his hands outstretched, before he was pierced by the golden slash, cutting through the desert in front of and behind him.
“————”
Grimmjow's body froze there, not moving again.
"puff!"
After a while, a large amount of blood spurted out from the center of Grimmjow's body, and it split neatly into two halves, falling to the left and right.
The sixtieth blade, Grimmjow Jagajek, died here.
