Chapter 277 Nothing Special

In the sky above Karakura Town, blue flames were spreading, as if they were burning on the ground, evaporating the air around them.

Many humans heard the deafening explosion, but since they couldn't see the Shinigami, the spirits, or the Hollows, they had no idea that a fierce battle was going on in the sky above Karakura Town.

Only Ichigo Kurosaki and the sturdy man who was beating him noticed the movement here.

"That's... the guy from the third squad...?!"

Ichigo Kurosaki was breathing heavily and looking at Aize who appeared out of nowhere with scars all over his face, feeling both surprised and happy.

"Another Grim Reaper?"

The sturdy man didn't care much about it.

The Grim Reapers that had been staying in Karakura Town before also came here because of the commotion here, but they were all so weak that they were either knocked away by themselves or swallowed up by themselves with their bones intact. Now there's just one more one coming, so what's the big deal?
The sturdy man was thinking this when he suddenly discovered that Grimmjow had disappeared.

No, that's not right...

He was attacked!

"What are you doing? Grimmjow!" The sturdy man was not worried about his companions. Instead, he said with some disdain: "Can't you even deal with a Grim Reaper? Do you want me to help you?"

The sturdy man had just finished speaking when Grimmjow responded with a somewhat aggressive tone.

"There's no need for you to meddle."

Grimmjow slowly walked out of the pale flames, completely unharmed.

"But you, a mere deputy god of death who changed careers halfway through, are you that hard to deal with?" Grimmjow looked down at the burly man and said, "If you can't solve it, leave it to me. I'll kill him in an instant!"

It seemed that these words were not just casually said, because Grimmjow really released a murderous aura that made people doubt that he would do such a thing.

The murderous aura was so strong that even Aize was amazed.

"You are a beast that will bite anyone you catch before you break through."

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a strong murderous aura, which would be released at any time and was more intimidating than spiritual pressure.

"Don't brag, Grimmjow." The sturdy man snorted heavily and said, "This guy looks weak, but he's actually hard to deal with."

"Hmm... I always feel that this guy is so weird. When I look at him, I actually feel like I'm looking at the same kind of person."

"What the hell!"

As he spoke, the burly man raised his chin, looked at Kurosaki Ichigo disdainfully, and said something.

"Hey, Death, what the hell are you?"

Hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo simply ignored him.

He just felt very painful now. A very violent consciousness was awakening in his body, fighting with him for control of his body. He felt that if he was not careful, he would lose himself and no longer be himself.

“What on earth is wrong with me…?”

Ichigo Kurosaki had no idea what was happening to him, and he felt inexplicably panicked.

The sturdy man thought that Ichigo Kurosaki was deliberately hiding, and an unhappy expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"Forget it. No matter what you are, as long as you are the God of Death, what I am going to do will not change."

The burly man walked towards Kurosaki Ichigo with heavy steps, making a deafening sound.

"Let me tell you who is going to kill you."

"I am Yammy, the tenth Espada, Yammy Rialgo."

"Remember this, Death."

The iron fist as big as a sandbag smashed out with a surging momentum, attacking Ichigo Kurosaki.

"hateful!"

Ichigo Kurosaki could only curse inwardly, raised the black knife in his hand, and started to fight with Yami again.

Looking at this scene, Aize frowned at first, then suddenly noticed something and his frown relaxed.

He had discovered that his lieutenant had arrived at the scene while hiding his spiritual pressure.

She didn't show up, probably observing the situation.

She must have realized that Grimmjow and Yammy's spiritual pressure was far superior to hers, so she was waiting for the permission to lift the restrictions so that she could give it her all.

It seems that there is danger everywhere on Ichigo Kurosaki's side, so she should be paying close attention to the battlefield over there.

As for myself...

There is no need for anyone's support.

"That was a pretty good move just now, Death."

Grimmjow, who was unharmed, sneered in front of Aize.

"Unfortunately, it's of no use to me."

Grimmjow activated the Xiangshen, leaving a puff of white smoke on the spot, and instantly appeared in front of Aize and slashed him with a knife.

"Qiang!"

Aize suddenly drew his sword and deflected the oncoming blow, causing sparks to fly.

"Hahaha!"

Grimmjow seemed to be in a state of excitement, or a state of killing. He laughed and kept swinging his sword. His moves were chaotic and his strikes were without any technique. He used such great force that bricks flew flying. It was more like swinging a stick than a knife.

But his strength was indeed amazing, and each of his strikes carried amazing power, and when he struck Aize's Zanpakutō, he always produced fierce sparks, and the air was constantly vibrating. If it were someone else, with his spiritual pressure restricted by 80%, it would be really difficult for him to deal with Grimmjow's attack.

But this person is none other than Aize, who can compete with ordinary captain-level reapers just by relying on his physical strength. This means that Grimmjow is destined to be unable to suppress him.

The limited spiritual seal will not affect the strength of the physical body.

Therefore, even if his spiritual pressure was restricted by 80%, the remaining one-fifth of the power combined with the strength of his physical body was enough for Aize to deal with an Arrancar at the level of the Ten Espada.

As a result, not only were Grimmjow's incredibly powerful slashes accurately deflected by Azer, but Azer was even able to rush forward from time to time and swing his sword at Grimmjow.

"Pfft!"

The gorgeous and noble Zanpakuto cut through the air, flashing like a cold arc of light, slashing across Grimmjow's face, leaving a wound on his cheek.

Grimmjow's laughter stopped abruptly, his eyes widened slightly, and then he slashed with a murderous knife, also towards Aize's face.

"Qiang!"

Amid the sound of metal clashing, Aize flicked Grimmjow's sword away with a flick of his hand, then took a step forward and swung again, slashing at Grimmjow from another direction.

"Pfft!"

Instantly, a wound was also cut on Grimmjow's chest.

The steel skin that the Arrancars were so proud of could be hindered by Azer's slash, but it could not leave them unscathed.

“You bastard…!”

Grimmjow was furious, clenching his free hand.

"Om..."

Astonishing spiritual pressure immediately gathered in Grimmjow's empty hands, and in an instant it condensed into a high-density spiritual power ball, flashing a dangerous red light and vibrating the atmosphere.

"Virtual flash!"

Grimmjow stretched out his hand with force, and the red flash immediately turned into a stream of light, as if it could evaporate everything, flatten everything, and destroy everything, and shot towards Aize.

"The 81st Way of Binding: Cutting the Void."

Aize did not retreat or dodge. Instead, he advanced and chanted a defensive binding technique.

"boom!!!"

The red flash immediately hit the transparent protective wall that appeared out of thin air in front of Aize and exploded on it, causing a dazzling light explosion to appear in mid-air. The shock wave it created was so huge that it flattened all the flowers, plants and trees on the ground.

"Shh!"

However, Aize rushed out with a flash step, and in a flash came in front of Grimmjow who had just released the Hollow Flash. Under the gaze of Grimmjow's suddenly shrinking pupils, he silently and indifferently raised his Zanpakutō and slashed at him.

"Pfft!"

As the sharp blade dragged from Grimmjow's shoulder to his side, blood suddenly appeared in front of Grimmjow.

A knife wound deeper than any previous one appeared on Grimmjow's body, running diagonally in front of him.

With this strike of the sword, Aize injected all the spiritual pressure that he could currently mobilize, plus his own physical strength, creating a double force that was quite powerful.

Grimmjow's steel skin had no defensive effect at all and was directly broken, causing him to suffer serious injuries instantly.

“Gahhhh…!”

Suddenly, Grimmjow let out a sound that was either a scream or a roar, and regardless of his bleeding body, he slashed at Aize who was close at hand.

"Shh!"

Aize dodged with a flash step, and when he reappeared, he was already at a high place some distance away from Grimmjow, looking down at him and laughing out loud.

"It seems that you are right. I am indeed not that great. It is not worth your extra caution at all." Aize said helplessly, "Otherwise, that blow should have been able to cut you in half."

"Well……"

Grimmjow was unable to respond to Aize's words. He covered his chest with his hands, his palms stained with blood, and his body couldn't help but bend down.

"Grimmjow!"

Yami noticed this situation and stopped attacking Kurosaki Ichigo, looking up at the air in surprise.

"Chance!"

Hinamori Momo seized this opportunity and dodged without thinking.

"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!"

Hinamori Momo finished the chant in less than a second and reached out her hand to Yami.

On the position of his collarbone, a mark shaped like a marigold was disappearing, allowing his spiritual pressure to bloom with full force.

"Broken Dao No. 73: Double Lotus Blue Fire Pendant!"

With a delicate cry, Hinamori Momo released the fully chanted No. 73 Hado, causing the blue fire lotus to slam into Yami's body.

At the same time, Ichigo Kurosaki, who had been enduring, actually seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and swung his sword.

"Crescent Moon Chong!"

The pitch-black crescent was like a knife, breaking through the atmosphere and slamming towards Ya Mi. Together with the pale fire lotus, it hit the sturdy man directly.

"boom!!!"

An astonishing explosion suddenly occurred on the ground, shattering the ground.
