Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

"Are you... are you kidding me?"

Ginjou's expression shifted between light and dark as he clutched his chest, his face filled with disbelief.

The Queen Shark easily shattered his slash wave with a single strike, and then broke through his spiritual pressure defense with another strike, directly injuring him.

This is simply unbelievable!

It should be noted that after absorbing hundreds of "Fullbringer powers", he also successfully broke through the limits of the Grim Reaper.

The immense power contained in the greatsword in his hand is the most powerful proof!

However, at this very moment, despite possessing the power of Fullbring and breaking through the limits of Shinigami, his defenses were easily breached in the intense clash of spiritual pressure.

"That damn woman, her slashes are just too powerful."

"I am," said Ginjo Kūgo in a deep voice, his tone revealing a hint of seriousness.

He secretly rejoiced that his caution was correct; this broken mask was far stronger than he had expected and was definitely a formidable enemy.

He thought that with his superior spiritual pressure, he could overwhelm it with his power and then quickly kill it.

But now it seems...

This woman's strength is no less than his.

"Because that's what Lady Shingetsu taught me."

"Herribel spoke calmly."

Chapter 405 Wang Xu's Flash of Brilliance

Upon hearing this, Ginjo Kūgo's pupils constricted sharply, but then a flash of anger appeared in his eyes:

"Stop joking! Aozaki Mayuki? It's Aozaki Mayuki again!! What are you guys thinking?"

His voice was filled with undisguised anger and disgust, as if he harbored deep resentment towards the name.

Then, his emotions became increasingly agitated, and he continued to roar:

"It's infuriating! They're all like this, disgusting! Just die, you bastards!"

In his furious, scarlet gaze, Ginjo Kugo suddenly pointed the blade of his sword at Harribel.

A wisp of dark purple light rapidly condensed within the radiance, instantly coalescing into a powerful sphere of light.

Next second,

A purple beam of light flashed by, leaving a long afterimage, and disappeared in an instant, striking Heribel with astonishing speed.

Immediately afterwards, a loud bang was heard.

Rumble!!

The purple spiritual pressure burned like flames, and terrifying power erupted instantly.

The aftershocks alone caused waves to rise across the ground, and everything around was destroyed.

Harribel frowned, watching everything unfold before her with a serious expression.

"This is... a Cero?!?"

She murmured in surprise.

As Aozaki Mayuki's lover whom she knows intimately, she knows that Hollowfied Shinigami can unleash Cero.

However, to her surprise, Ginjo Kugo was not wearing a mask, yet he was still able to use Hollow abilities.

"go to hell!"

A ferocious smile appeared on Ginjou Kugo's face as he spread his arms wide, as if to display his victory.

However, at that moment, he suddenly realized that a figure had appeared not far away—

Nelieel stood there quietly.

Her expression was unusually calm, as if she were not nervous at all about what was happening before her eyes.

Given their previous sisterly relationship, shouldn't she have rushed over immediately if she saw the blonde woman get hit by his Cero?

But why is she so calm?

Nelielu didn't even glance at him, coldly saying:

“Heribel’s power is far more than that.”

Then she said:

"Your power is not even on the same level as hers, you just haven't realized it yet."

"To be more precise, your trembling body has already revealed your inner fears to me, but you are unwilling to face reality."

"Trembling?"

Upon hearing this, Ginjo Kūgo slowly raised one hand, and sure enough, that hand was trembling slightly.

Ginjo Kūgo took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He turned his gaze back to Halibel, then burst into maniacal laughter, his voice filled with madness and triumph.

"Hahahaha... I think you've misunderstood. It's not fear, but rather an immense excitement at being able to wield such power."

His expression grew increasingly distorted, his eyes revealing a hint of ferocity and cruelty:

"Haven't you realized? Your foolish companion has already failed!"

"It's such a pity. If we had been able to seize your power back then, perhaps things would be different now."

“The possibility of powerful individuals like you possessing fragments of the Spirit King is extremely high.”

"If I can absorb your power, I will definitely become even stronger."

"However, none of that matters anymore."

"Next, I will travel to another city to find more people with 'extraordinary power' and seize their Spirit King fragments."

However, at that moment, his laughter suddenly stopped.

As the light faded, Heribel stood there quietly.

Standing tall and motionless, it resembled an indestructible mountain.

Before her, the purple holographic flash was caught by a jade hand, as if it had hit an impenetrable wall, and gradually dissipated.

That jade hand seemed to contain boundless power, gradually dissolving the energy of the illusory flash.

In the blink of an eye, this Cero, which was almost entirely unleashed by Ginjo Kūgo, was completely annihilated, as if it had never existed.

"This is impossible! How did you do that!?"

Ginjou's eyes widened, and he questioned incredulously.

He couldn't understand what was happening before his eyes; his powerful attack had been so easily blocked and neutralized.

This woman, who remained calm throughout, not only survived his feint, but was also completely unharmed!

Even the clothes he was wearing weren't damaged at all!

This left him speechless with horror.

I knew the Arrancar's steel armor was very strong, but this is way too strong!?

Ginjou Kugo was secretly amazed.

He realized he might have underestimated Halibel's strength; the woman was far more powerful than he had imagined.

Faced with such an opponent, he couldn't help but worry about his own safety.

Harribel walked step by step toward Ginjou, wearing a white glove on her left hand and carrying a greatsword with a shark pattern in her right.

Her steps were steady and powerful, each step carrying an invisible pressure, as if stepping on Ginjou's heart.

"Why? Why isn't it working? Why are you still alive?"

Ginjou took a step back, his eyes wide with astonishment and a hint of fear as he asked.

His voice trembled slightly, barely concealing his fear of Herribel.

At this moment, he had lost his confidence and did not know how to deal with such a powerful enemy.

"Cero is the instinct of Hollows, just like a wild beast instinctively showing its claws and teeth when facing its prey."

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Ginjo Kūgo's eyes.

Haribel continued:

"It is merely a seemingly powerful but actually very primitive and inefficient way of using spiritual pressure."

Under Ginjou Kūgo's gaze, Haribel seemed to have thought of something, her eyes softened, and she slowly spoke:

"Do you want to see it? The real Cero, that's what Shingetsu taught me."

With a gentle swing of her Zanpakuto, golden spiritual pressure slowly gathered at the tip of the sword.

The speed at which the spiritual pressure condensed appeared slow, but in reality it was astonishingly fast, as if it had been completed in the blink of an eye.

Before Ginjou could even react, the spiritual pressure had already been fully gathered, and even the surrounding space began to distort.

"Wang Xu's Flash!"

Harribel gave a soft shout and swung her Zanpakuto out fiercely.

next second.

Accompanied by a dazzling flash, a powerful Cero shot towards Ginjou Kugo's chest like lightning.

Rumble!!

Wherever the Cero passed, space shattered, producing a deafening roar.

Almost instantly, the spiritual pressure that Ginjo Kūgo was so proud of was directly pierced through by the Cero and slammed into his body.

His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, as if he were witnessing the end of the world.

He stared blankly ahead, unable to believe that his spiritual pressure was so fragile, so easily shattered by the opponent's Cero.

The Cero, like an indestructible arrow, pierced through his body without any hindrance.
