Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

Their intelligence was similar; the only difference was their attitude towards the world.

"Then, let me train Ichigo properly for the next few days!" Yoruichi said with a smile.

Ichigo, however, showed no interest whatsoever in this effeminate older woman. He looked at Zhang Shan and asked, "Why do you know so much about my situation?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Zhang Shan pretended not to know, his face full of innocence.

"..."

Seeing that Zhang Shan didn't want to tell him the reason, Ichigo didn't press him and said to Zhang Shan, "Never mind, anyway, thank you for telling me those things."

After saying that, Ichigo went to train with Yoruichi.

In the following days, Seireitei was still in chaos because of Aizen. The Gotei 13 were completely outmaneuvered by Aizen, especially the young Haku, who was completely manipulated by Aizen.

Today is the day Rukia will be executed.

Early in the morning, Ichigo was all ready to go and, with Yoruichi's help, arrived at the execution platform.

At this moment, Rukia was about to be pierced through the chest by two blades, resulting in her soul being scattered.

"Rukia!"

Ichigo roared, unleashing his full spiritual pressure. He charged forward instantly, standing in front of Rukia without hesitation, facing both of them head-on!

Zhang Shan observed from afar, and seeing Ichigo use the power of his Shikai to directly repel the legendary Twin Blades, which were said to be composed of the combined power of a million Zanpakuto, he was honestly speechless for a moment.

"This million-strong Zanpakuto... is a bit weak..."

As Ichigo deflected the greatsword and rescued Rukia, the captains who had been carrying out the executions in the distance came to their senses.

All eyes turned to Ichigo. Before the captains could even make a move, the numerous vice-captains behind him swarmed forward and unleashed their full power on Ichigo!

"Travel disaster! Watch the knife!"

"Breaking Path One! Charge!"

They came up with their swords and started slashing, some even using powerful demonic arts, which showed how angry they were!

Ichigo is no pushover either. After a week of training, he has now mastered Bankai and is the brightest star on the field!

With a leap, he instantly appeared behind these vice-captains. Several sword flashes passed by, and the many vice-captains behind him fell to the ground!

At this moment, Ichigo had not yet used his Bankai, and he was still holding that huge watermelon knife!

Rukia was being held in Ichigo's arms with one hand, and she was still in a daze.

"Ichigo?" Rukia's tone was full of uncertainty, because Ichigo had changed so much.

Whether in terms of temperament or spiritual pressure, Ichigo has undergone a complete transformation at this moment.

Previously, Ichigo was just a rebellious high school kid, but now he appears very composed and gives off a mature vibe.

During this time, Ichigo faced White Ichigo every day. Facing such a real version of himself, Ichigo had a direct control group, and in a short period of time, he got rid of most of his bad habits.

Moreover, and most importantly, Ichigo has already learned a bit of the essence of White Ichigo!

brush!

Whoosh~~

A sword flashed, instantly cleaving the ground where Ichigo stood, leaving a sword mark beneath his feet.

Ichigo looked up and saw Byakuya standing coldly behind him.

The sword pressure just now was unleashed by Byakuya.

"It's you again!" Ichigo frowned. He disliked Rukia's older brother to no end.

Because in his eyes, the older brother should protect his younger sister, but Byakuya personally sent his sister to the execution platform!

This is completely contrary to Ichigo's beliefs.

As the two locked eyes, a commotion arose again in the distance.

Renji charged forward, swinging his snake tail.

Seeing that Ichigo had rescued Rukia, Renji was overjoyed. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease, and he focused on dealing with the enemies around him.

Ichigo placed Rukia on the ground, but his gaze never left Byakuya, staring intently at him.

Only after Rukia ran away did Ichigo speak, "I won't lose this time!"

"Arrogant!" Byakuya said coldly.

"Bang! Open! Heavenly Lock Moon Slayer!"

Rumble!

The black spiritual pressure shot straight into the sky, forming a terrifying spiritual pressure storm.

Byakuya put his arms in front of him, staring wide-eyed at Ichigo in disbelief.

"How is this possible?! He learned Bankai in just one week!"

When the black spiritual pressure storm dissipated, Ichigo, dressed in a black tuxedo, appeared before everyone.

There were no grand scenes, nor was the terrain altered.

Only the clothes on his body and the knife in his hand changed, becoming more refined.

When faced with Ichigo's Bankai, Byakuya scoffed, "Can something so small really be called Bankai?"

Chapter 167 I will stand in the heavens!

In the distance, Zhang Shan also heard Byakuya's voice; or rather, he came here specifically to hear those words!

"Tsk tsk tsk, isn't Da Bai's remark going to offend people?"

On the cliff, Byakuya held his Zanpakuto with the tip pointing downwards. The next moment, the sword slipped from his palm, but instead of sticking into the ground, it disappeared instantly as if it had fallen into the water.

"Swastika: Senbonzakura Kageyan! Act 1, annihilate Kage!"

In an instant, the scenery around Ichigo changed drastically, as if shrouded in a black curtain.

Around the two of them were three layers of pink samurai swords.

Byakuya opened his hand, and a pink sword immediately appeared in his palm.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, you have repeatedly broken the rules of Soul Society. Today, I will execute you!"

Byakuya's tone was very calm. Although he said he wanted to execute Ichigo, his actions showed no sign of his determination.

Clang!

A spark flashed, and the two switched positions. Ichigo taunted, "If that's all you've got, you can't do anything to me!"

Byakuya did not answer him. The pink Zanpakuto in his hand vanished like cherry blossoms, and the next moment, a perfectly intact sword appeared.

Without exchanging a word, the two gripped their knives tightly and clashed once more!

At the same time, the outside world has also undergone tremendous changes.

Just after Ichigo and Byakuya entered Senbonzakura's territory, Rukia, who was supposed to be taken away by Renji, was intercepted halfway.

Rukia was lying on the ground with a blue hole in her chest, and a diamond-shaped transparent box was floating in the hole.

Inside the box, a mysterious little ball was emitting a faint glow.

One hand gently picked up the box and removed it from Rukia's body.

Only at this moment did Aizen finally expose himself to everyone's view.

At this moment, both the captain and the vice-captain stared at Aizen in shock.

"Captain Aizen, what are you doing?" Renji's mind went blank. He couldn't comprehend what he was seeing.

Aizen, who was always known as a kind-hearted person, actually destroyed Rukia's soul!

With a gaping hole in her chest, Renji couldn't imagine how Rukia could possibly survive.

So, at that moment, Renji felt as if everything went black before his eyes, as if the sky had collapsed!

Aizen ignored Renji, the little pushover, and smiled at everyone, saying, "Sorry, I'm not planning to continue playing this game."

After saying that, he turned around and said to the people behind him, "Aren't you two planning to leave together?"

Zhang Shan and Lilynet appeared instantly, each carrying a large bundle on their backs, which, to be honest, somewhat ruined the cool image that Aizen had worked so hard to create.

However, Aizen didn't care about these things at the time.

Once everyone on their side had arrived, a rift suddenly appeared in the sky, and countless Hollow figures appeared before them.

Then, beams of light descended, enveloping Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, Kaname Tosen, Zhang Shan, and Lilynet.

From this moment on, although the five of them could still be seen, they were now in a different space from these people.

It was at this moment that Hakumura Sajin finally realized the situation and questioned his friend Tosen Kaname in disbelief, "Kaname! What exactly is going on? Why are you standing with Aizen?"

However, Tosen Kaname did not seem inclined to answer.

His goals and those of Hakumura Sajin were different from the beginning, and their so-called friendship was nothing more than a passing fancy.

As the five people slowly ascended into the air, the other team leaders also rushed over.

Looking at Aizen, who was colluding with Hollows, Ukitake, the captain of the 13th Division, coldly said, "To actually associate with Hollows, Aizen, have you fallen?"

Aizen simply looked down at Ukitake and uttered that famous line.

“Captain Ukitake, you are too arrogant. No one was born into the heavens, you are, I am, and even the gods are no exception.”

"However, this unbearable period of inactivity will come to an end."

As he spoke, Aizen took off his glasses, gently ran his hand through his hair, and his bangs instantly turned into a slicked-back hairstyle!

"From this day forward, I will stand in the heavens!"

With the five people taken away by the reverse membrane, Seireitei returned to its usual tranquility.

Just as the captains and vice-captains were still processing Aizen's parting words, Ichigo and Byakuya's battle came to an end.

There was a loud bang.

Byakuya's Bankai disappeared, and Ichigo, covered in blood, appeared before everyone's eyes. On the ground, Byakuya appeared to have lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss.

When Ichigo turned around, he saw all the captains and vice-captains.
