Chapter 276: Ten Blades

"How do you want to die?"

When these words came out of the mouth of the unruly man, astonishing spiritual pressure also surged out like an overwhelming force, covering Aize.

It was a very chaotic, disordered, and mixed spiritual pressure, which was extremely different from the spiritual pressure of the god of death.

This is definitely not the spiritual pressure of a god of death, nor even the spiritual pressure of an ordinary spirit, but the spiritual pressure of a hollow.

Only Hollow could have such a chaotic, mixed, and turbid spiritual pressure, which could make people realize the ominousness and evil of the other party the first time they felt it.

“Arrancar…”

Bathed in that ominous spiritual pressure, Aize looked normal, but his eyes were flickering slightly.

Arrancar, this is the name given to a special group of Hollows.

When a Hollow possesses the power of the god of death under certain circumstances and comprehends the ability of the god of death, the phenomenon of broken masks will appear on its body, that is, the mask that was originally a common feature of the Hollow will be shattered, causing it to evolve into a form similar to that of the god of death.

This kind of Hollow is the so-called Arrancar, that is, the Hollow that has become a god of death.

The man in front of him was an Arrancar, a Hollow who had gained the power of a Shinigami and assumed the form of a Shinigami.

The tattered mask on his face and the holes on his body proved his hollow identity, while his human male appearance and the knife on his waist proved that he had become the god of death.

These are the symbols of being an Arrancar.

Aize glanced at the opponent's waist again and saw the number "6".

in this case……

"Are you the sixtieth Espada, the sixth-ranked member of the Arrancar Corps under Aizen Sosuke?"

Aize's calm words made the other party slightly stunned.

"You actually know me? And you know I'm the Espada?"

The rebellious man seemed a little surprised.

"Of course I know."

Aize spoke lightly.

"In order to study the power of Hollows and transform them into Death God-like Hollows, Aizen Sosuke set foot in Hueco Mundo a long time ago and conquered many Hollows there."

"He united a large group of powerful Hollows and used the power of the Hogyoku to make them Arrancars, giving them the power and form of Death Gods."

"These Arrancars who have acquired the power and form of the Shinigami now serve under him and are called the Arrancar Corps."

The Hollows in the Arrancar Corps basically have numbers engraved somewhere on their bodies.

This number represents the order of their Arrancar, at least in general.

There are only the top ten Arrancars, and their numbers are arranged according to the level of their killing ability.

In other words, the Arrancar who can have numbers before "10" engraved on their bodies are among the top ten in terms of strength among the Arrancar Corps.

These ten people are called the Ten Espada. Their strength is on another level compared to other Arrancar. They also have the power to dominate Arrancar below No. 10. They have subordinate officers following them, and their status in the Arrancar Corps is equivalent to the captains of each division in the Gotei .

The man in front of him had the number "6" engraved on his body, proving that he was the sixtieth Espada, the sixth strongest in the Arrancar Corps.

As for the man who was fighting with Ichigo Kurosaki, there was a number "10" carved on his arm, and he was undoubtedly the tenth Espada.

"Aizen actually sent you to the human world?"

Aize looked at the unruly man and said something.

"Isn't he afraid that you will die here, causing him to lose two fairly good subordinates?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the unruly man immediately opened his eyes wide and released a terrifying murderous aura.

"Can you kill us?" The man grinned. "Just you?"

"Just me." Aize nodded and said, "Come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself yet, right?"

"I'm the captain of the Gotei 13's third division, Aize."

"Please give me your guidance, Arrancar."

Hearing this, the smile on the man's face froze and his pupils shrank.

"...I see, you are Aize?"

The man's attitude suddenly changed drastically.

If the way he looked at Aize before was as if he was looking at delicious food, like looking at prey that had walked into a trap, then the way he looked at Aize now was as if he was looking at him as a real enemy.

"You actually know me?"

Aize showed a somewhat surprised expression, just like his opponent before.

However, his expression looked like it was deliberately fake.

This made the man furious, and he released a strong murderous aura once again.

"Of course I know you. After all, you are the person that Master Aizen specifically told us to be careful of." The man looked at Aize and then sneered disdainfully: "Now it seems that you are not that great."

"The spiritual pressure is indeed very strong, but compared to the little ghost below, it doesn't seem to be much stronger."

"With you being like this, I really don't know why Lord Aizen specifically told us to be careful of you."

He wasn't deliberately showing disdain, but he really didn't think Aize was a threat.

Compared to the Shinigami who was stationed in Karakura Town before, the Shinigami in white feather robe in front of him was indeed much stronger, even stronger than the spiritual pressure of the Arrancar below the Espada. However, compared to an Espada like himself, he was still far behind.

The Ten Espada are the strongest Arrancar, and even before they have an Arrancar, they are extremely powerful Hollows. Like him, before they have an Arrancar, they are at the top of the Achukas-class Hollows, second only to the highest-level Hollow, Vastold.

With this kind of person, even before the Arrancar he had strength comparable to that of a captain, not to mention that he later obtained the power of the god of death and became even more powerful than before the Arrancar.

In his eyes, ordinary captain-level Shinigami are nothing, such as Kurosaki Ichigo.

The spiritual pressure of the Grim Reaper in front of him was not much stronger than that of the little devil who was beaten up below, so how could he possibly pose a threat to him?
For a person who could even be beaten up by the 10th Espada, it was natural for him, the 60th Espada, to deal with him easily.

The man who thought this didn't know that the reason why Kurosaki Ichigo behaved so badly was because he had some problems with himself.

However, the spiritual pressure of the god of death in front of him, whose spiritual pressure was similar to that of Kurosaki Ichigo, was restricted by 80%.

"You're quite arrogant." Aize said with a half-smile, "It's hard to imagine that such an arrogant tone came from a guy ranked sixth."

"If you don't know, you would think you are the one ranked first."

"Don't you think so? Lao Liu?"

The unruly man's eyes twitched suddenly.

"Then let's see if I, the sixth-ranked guy, am qualified to say this!"

The rebellious man took his hands out of his pockets and spoke.

"Remember my name, Death."

"I'm Grimmjow."

"The sixtieth blade, Grimmjow Jagajek."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man named Grimmjow suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Boom!"

With a sound as if the space was pierced, the figure left a puff of white smoke on the spot and suddenly appeared in front of Aize.

"Oh!"

A dull impact occurred in the next second, causing a circle of shock waves to explode in the air.

Grimmjow suddenly appeared in front of Aze and stretched out his hand at an extremely fast speed, aiming at Aze's chest, but was blocked by Aze's sudden punch, causing his fists to collide violently.

The two of them were pushed back by the impact and slid backwards for a distance in the air as if they were walking on flat ground.

"Ha! You're quite capable!"

Grimmjow failed to hit the target, but instead he laughed happily.

"He actually caught my claw with his bare hands. This kind of physical strength doesn't seem like that of a god of death!"

Hearing this, Aize was unmoved and glanced at the hand that Grimmjow had just pierced into him.

When his fist collided with the hand, Aize felt as if he had hit steel, not flesh and blood. If it weren't for his excellent physical strength, his fist would have probably cracked directly.

"That's the Arrancar's steel skin, right?"

The surface skin of the broken face is very hard and is called steel skin.

Steel skin is the equivalent of the Arrancar's armor. If you want to break through that layer of armor, an ordinary Shinigami cannot do it even if he releases his Zanpakutō.

"So the footwork he used to suddenly move in front of me just now is called a ring turn?"

Hibiki, a teleportation technique that only Hollows can use, is somewhat similar to the Shinigami's Instant Move, but the principles are completely different.

The Shinigami's Flash Step is just a high-speed moving footwork, while the Hollow's Hibiki is an ability to move in space. It is generally superior to the Shinigami's Flash Step in terms of instantaneous explosive power and movement speed, and is very difficult to capture.

Generally speaking, only higher-level virtual beings can use Xiang Zhuan, and even some high-level virtual beings are unable to use it proficiently.

Judging from Grimmjow's actions just now, he must be quite adept at using the ringing skill.

"Boom!"

While Aize was thinking about this, Grimmjow disappeared again as if he had penetrated space, and appeared in front of Aize in an instant.

"This time I'll let you taste my sword! Death!"

Grimmjow drew the knife at his waist.

There was no doubt that it was a Zanpakutō.

The Arrancars who have obtained the power of the Shinigami can seal their own power into a core, transform it into a Zanpakutō, and use slashing techniques like the Shinigami.

Grimmjow's slashing skills weren't the most sophisticated type, but his strength was so great that when he swung the sword, the tip of the blade even broke through the layers of atmosphere, causing the air currents to rise and fall on the blade, making a sharp sound.

"Thirty-nine of the Binding Dao: Round Gate Fan."

Aize stretched out his hand, released the binding technique, and allowed a spiritual power shield to form in front of him.

"Qiang!"

Grimmjow's slash hit the circular shield, immediately creating intense sparks.

"The Thirty-three of the Broken Paths: Blue Fire Falling."

Aize stretched out his palm again, pointed it at Grimmjow, and spiritual power gushed out.

"boom!"

A pale flame suddenly erupted, shattering the circular shield and exploding on Grimmjow's body at close range, completely engulfing him.

The temperature in the air suddenly rose, like rising smoke that lingered for a long time.
