I'm really not the number one slacker in Soul Society.

Instead of engaging in a direct confrontation, he retreated directly.

Taking advantage of the broken bone, he narrowly escaped the attack—at the same time, a hexagonal spiritual pressure shield, more than half a meter wide, appeared in front of him.

A pure black spiritual pressure storm condensed into a single line, suddenly spreading out along the trajectory of Honebami's slash—

The shield Aizen released was only swept by this spiritual pressure storm before large cracks appeared. The portion that passed through him seemed to spread out endlessly, the sound of tearing the air became a deafening roar, the jungle and hills on the ground were easily overturned, and the land, measured in square kilometers, was plowed into a plain in an instant. The animals living in it did not even have time to utter a cry before turning into blood mist.

After traversing more than ten kilometers, the pure black spiritual pressure storm slammed heavily onto the ground—and immediately blasted a deep ravine, almost like a canyon, into the hilly mountain area.

The moment she swung her sword, Mima realized something was wrong and had already leaped into the air, unlike Aizen who took the brunt of the attack head-on.

But the exaggerated destructive power still made Mima almost think she was hallucinating.

This power... it's comparable to Old Man Shan's Rising Sun Blade, isn't it?

Is the Soul King's torrent really that outrageous? Visually speaking, she looks even stronger than Yhwach's royal guard!

"Aizen Sousuke, step back."

Taking advantage of the moment when Shihōin Hyakugetsu swung his sword, Mima immediately raised his hand and threw out 260 Flying Dragon Strike Thief Thunder Cannon talismans.

Two hundred and sixty layers of lightning overlapped, changing from light blue to a deep blue that was almost black, and its size increased dramatically to a diameter of five meters. Released at high speed without chanting, this lightning bolt immediately blasted towards Shihouin Hyakugetsu at an unavoidable and terrifying speed.

But she simply raised her twisted black left hand to shield herself.

Aizen withdrew, and the lightning struck Hyakugetsu Shihouin's left hand in the next instant.

There was no explosion or roaring sound.

The lightning stopped, then shrank at a visible speed, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Meanwhile, all the fingers on Shihouin Hyakugetsu's left hand were broken off, leaving only a bare palm—but that was no use. A surge of black shadow appeared, and the five missing fingers grew back.

Mima: "???"

What the heck?! It's not Imagine Breaker, is it?!

Hedgehog hair! You've wandered onto the wrong set!

If you have something this awesome, why didn't you use it when you were surrounded by the black coffin?

This ability to break through the demonic path seems to be Shihouin Hyakugetsu's own ability. Mima didn't want to say much, but the power shown in that strike just now... Didn't the Spirit King say that the Raging Torrent only has a three-fold amplification? How can it be so outrageous?

Although Aizen withstood the attack, his spiritual pressure shield shattered and broke, and he was also slashed in the chest with a deep wound.

As for Mi Zhen's fragile body...

Let alone withstanding it head-on, even being swept by the aftershock would probably kill them on the spot.

He hissed and pulled out more than three hundred sets of the Void-Severing Armor that had been pre-installed in the Ghost Path warehouse, then put them on his body.

As long as you don't get touched by that left hand, this defense should be reliable.

Then, he used Tenten Kongra and opened a private chat channel with Aizen so they could exchange information while fighting.

"This is a bit troublesome."

Mima's lips twitched twice as he said to Aizen, "A direct confrontation isn't the solution; we need to come up with some new tactics."

"Normally, in this situation, you should turn around and run."

Aizen adjusted his glasses: "But the situation is different now—have you noticed her body?"

“Of course,” Mima nodded, “but who can say that isn’t an even worse omen?”

What Aizen said was quite obvious—

Hyakugetsu Shihōin's body is gradually "disappearing".

The torrent of anger filled her abdomen, plugging all the wounds—but this method of "treatment" did not seem to come without a price.

As time goes by, Shihouin Hyakugetsu's body is being gradually "replaced" by the surging anger.

Below the chest and above the hip bones, the entire area had turned into a surging black shadow.

The hole in her chest was gradually widening—if this continued, it wouldn't be long before her body completely transformed into a torrent of rage.

Not only the physical body, but also spiritual pressure.

After being slashed by Aizen, Hyakugetsu Shihouin's spiritual pressure had weakened to its limit, with the missing portion being completely replaced by a torrent of anger.

Add to that her now mechanical tone.

Mima couldn't even be sure if Shihouin Hyakugetsu was still mentally sound.

Are he and Aizen fighting the sixth head of the Shihōin family from two thousand years ago, or the raging torrent itself?

What will happen after she is completely replaced?

"Running early or running late makes no difference, doesn't it?"

Aizen watched intently as Shihouin Hyakugetsu changed, and smiled slightly, saying, "Neither of us has the means to kill her, but we've already incurred her wrath. If we don't come up with a solution, even if we run away now, we'll just be waiting to be hunted down."

"That makes sense, although it's not that we 'can't come up with any solutions'."

Mima sighed, "Then let's struggle a little longer."

"Have you... finished talking?"

It's not just Mima and Aizen who need time; the same goes for Shihouin Hyakugetsu.

The torrent of anger finally stopped all her wounds during this time, and the "threads" that resembled the Quincy's chaotic puppet formations finally dissipated. Shihouin Hyakugetsu was finally able to behave like a normal person again.

"of course."

Mima raised a finger and densely stacked various types of breaching techniques on it, then launched it out in one go.

Although it can't deal any damage.

But at least it can serve as a restraint, creating opportunities for Aizen to make his move and also concealing his underhanded actions.

While Shihōin Hyakugetsu was busy dealing with these four or five hundred Hado techniques.

Mizhen quietly pressed the black crystal hanging on her chest, causing it to flash a few times with three short flashes followed by one long flash.

This is a small prop specially made by Anise to contact Shikato Hakunsai.

Before setting off, he and Shikaku Hakunsai agreed on some secret codes—a frequency of three short and one long signal meant "be prepared to go all out."

Let's test the waters a few more times, and once we seize an opportunity, we should invite the veterans to join the battle.

After Aizen and Shihouin Hyakugetsu clashed, Mima breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the power of that outrageous slash just now was not a normal attack, otherwise Aizen, without the Hogyoku, would not have been able to hold his own against her in close combat.

"I have a suggestion."

After casually firing five hundred Azure Fire Drops, Mi Zhen said softly, "I don't know if this senior can become stronger, but in any case, a protracted battle is probably not in our favor—why not just unleash a burst of power and see if we can annihilate her?"

Chapter 125: Soaring Strength

"Agreed." Aizen took another hit from Shihouin Hyakugetsu, then stepped back and exchanged a glance with Yama. In perfect unison, they raised their hands and began chanting.

The surging ghost energy suddenly intensified.

A deep blue, flame-like spiritual pressure emanated from Aizen and Yama's bodies, spreading in all directions and gradually forming a blurry dragon-shaped shadow.

"Ninety-nine of the Way of Destruction: The Five Dragons are Destroyed."

The two shouted this in unison, except that Mima added two more words at the end.

"Fifth Company—"

Accompanied by an immense spiritual pressure that seemed to crush space, ten illusory and majestic dragon bodies suddenly appeared in all directions in mid-air.

In terms of single-shot power, Aizen undoubtedly has the advantage, but what Yama releases is a stack of stored Kido items taken from the Kido warehouse. With the five Kido combined, it is even stronger than Aizen's single shot.

The pinnacle of the Outer Path possesses power worthy of its title as the strongest; even Yama's Kido Warehouse can only unleash five of them simultaneously.

Ten giant, azure dragons lunged at Shihōin Hyakugetsu with bared fangs and claws, engulfing her in the blink of an eye.

Faced with the ultimate destructive art in the Ghost Path, even if she blocked it with her left hand, she could only eliminate two or three tenths of it, and the subsequent dragon shadows hit her one by one!

The silent explosion was born in mid-air.

Just as the concept of "great sound is silent" is proved, the explosion was silent, but the huge ball of light with a radius of hundreds of meters and the aftershocks that shattered the clouds and the earth at the same time proved its power.

If a weakling below the third level of spiritual power were standing here, they would probably be easily blasted into a bloody mist by the overflowing impact!

Shihōin Hyakugetsu was engulfed in the explosion, and most of his remaining flesh and blood were once again annihilated.

However, the torrent of anger persists.

It's time to escalate the pressure.

It's now!

Mizhen activated the black cavity crystal hanging on her chest, creating a black cavity around herself.

Seeing the dark chamber that appeared in front of him, Shiroto Hakunsai immediately stepped inside.

Using Hueco Mundo as a transit point, she arrived in Soul Society in a second.

But something seems off?

Inside the dark chamber, she sensed that things weren't so simple.

Why is the exit so bright?

—What's with that outrageous spiritual pressure?

While it's true that you should keep your promises, Watanabe Yama didn't seem to have mentioned such a strange scene.

With mixed feelings, she stepped out of the dark cavity and saw a gigantic fireball that blotted out the sky.

The fireball, which was turning from blue to white, was entering a period of diminishing power, but its power was still terrifying. It could probably swallow two or three captains without even burping.

Lu Qu Baiyunzhai: "?"

What happened?

She quickly looked around at the exit of the dark cavity.

What they saw was just an honest-looking man in a black cloak and a woman in white shrouded in mosaic.

That kid Watanabe Yama did say that the one in charge of the fight wasn't him, but a woman whose face couldn't be seen...
