Infinite: Start as a ghost

"Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderclap Flash, Divine Flash..."

"Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderclap Flash, Divine Thunder..."

These are all Zenitsu Agatsuma's techniques, which can be said to have brought the word "speed" to its extreme.

The loud commotion caused by their rapid approach caught the attention of Gin Ichimaru and Umeha.

Jiang Jiu wasn't afraid of being discovered and continued to use these same techniques to quickly approach the two.

Chapter 174 The Initial Thunder

Facing the two, Jiang Jiu still had no intention of changing his mind and continued to use the breathing technique while maintaining the power of the Grim Reaper.

"This is troublesome," said Gin Ichimaru. "I didn't expect that even my poison couldn't kill him."

“That’s even better.” Mei Zhen laughed loudly, “I can finally take revenge myself, hahaha.”

"I will kill him until he can no longer recover!"

“This is no easy task,” Gin Ichimaru said. “Let’s join forces.”

Although Mei Zhen is arrogant, she is not a fool who only knows how to fight.

Although he was somewhat unwilling, he understood that he was alone and indeed had no way to do anything to the other party.

"Okay." Mei Zhen considered for a while and reluctantly agreed.

Gin Ichimaru concealed his hands in his sleeves, making it impossible to tell whether he was holding the knife in his left or right hand: "Look closely, his speed has slowed down. It seems my poison is still affecting him."

Mei Zhen said, "I'll deal with him head-on. You're ready to make your move at any time."

The condition for cooperation is understanding the other party's background.

Gin Ichimaru had peeked into Mei Zhen's memories and knew of Jiang Jiu's existence, but that was all he knew.

He had long forgotten what happened in the Soul Society. All he knew now was that Jiang Jiu killed Mei Zhen and some of his abilities; he knew nothing else.

Gin Ichimaru didn't know Jiang Jiu's background, so he couldn't approach him, and he didn't dare to approach him under Aizen's surveillance either.

Gin Ichimaru revealed his abilities to Umeha, but only Umeha knew about them.

It's unclear what methods were used, but Aronia did something to block Aronia's access.

Even the fact that Mei-needle's consciousness could dominate Aronia was partly due to Ichigami's intervention.

Therefore, Meizhen knew how to cooperate with Ichimaru Gin.

To be honest, Mei Zhen didn't expect that Ichimaru Gin's poison wouldn't work on Jiang Jiu. This is the most potent poison in the world, almost the most poisonous of all.

In any case, in the concept of Plum Needle, no other poison can surpass the toxicity of Gin Ichimaru's Zanpakuto.

Just as the two finished their discussion, Jiang Jiu's knife arrived.

"Iron Shield!" Mei Zhen shouted, and a piece of iron blocked Jiang Jiu's attack.

As Gin Ichimaru assumed a sword-drawing stance, Jiang Jiu immediately used a breathing technique to jump to the side.

"Iron needle flying blade".

Jiang Jiu carefully dodged the attacks, keeping an eye on Ichimaru Gin while searching for weaknesses in the plum needles.

"Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderclap Flash..."

"Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderclap Flash, Six-Strike Combo..."

"Thunder Breathing, First Form, Lightning Flash, Divine Speed..."

"Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderclap Flash, Divine Flash..."

"Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderclap Flash, Divine Thunder..."

Jiang Jiu kept using breathing techniques, not only to evade, but also to try to fight back.

Although each attack was blocked, the speed of the attack made Mei Zhen unable to be careless.

Jiang can afford to save others from injury, but he can't afford to be injured.

"Faster, faster, faster!" Jiang Jiu shouted incessantly, "It's not fast enough, I need to be even faster!"

"Divine Sniper..."

Just as Jiang Jiu was focusing all her attention on increasing her speed, Ichimaru Gin seized the opportunity and launched an attack.

"Shunpo o Kongchan..."

Jiang instinctively used a skill other than breathing techniques to dodge the attack.

"Damn it, I've gotten into the habit of using Instant Step to dodge lately!" Jiang Jiu said in frustration.

"Wow..." Gin Ichimaru exclaimed, "This guy's reaction speed is incredible! He actually managed to dodge the sharpshooter without even realizing it!"

"Don't joke around, Silver," Plum Needle roared, "Do you still want to kill him?"

"Of course, don't rush me." Gin Ichimaru sheathed his Zanpakuto and hid it under his robes again.

This scene caught Jiang Jiu's attention.

"If my burst speed were as fast as his divine spear..."

"That's right, instant burst, instantaneous..." Jiang Jiu suddenly thought of something: "The advantage of lightning is its instantaneous burst!"

"I see. I need to think about it from that perspective."

"Let's try again."

Jiang Jiu continued to use Thunder Breathing, but his speed actually slowed down.

He paid the price for this by being hit several times.

"No...that's not how it works."

"No... that would make it more like the Breath of the Wind, preventing me from 'avoiding' it."

Seeing Jiang Jiu jumping around, Mei Zhen immediately roared, "What exactly do you want? Why don't you fight me head-on? All you know is how to run away?"

"That's it, that's it!" Jiang Jiu's eyes lit up: "So that's how it is!"

"No step..."

Ichimaru Gin seized the opportunity again and attacked Jiang Jiu.

"Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderclap Flash, Divine Spear..."

"What?" they both exclaimed at the same time.

In that instant, both of them lost sight of Jiang Jiu.

"It can be even faster, even faster!" Jiang Jiu laughed heartily. "So, this is the real 'thunder'?"

"Plum Needles, defend quickly!" Gin Ichimaru's face vanished for the first time: "Gun Veil Rain..."

"Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderclap Flash, Divine Spear..."

Jiang Jiu used her newly mastered techniques again to dodge Ichimaru Gin's wide-range attacks.

Gin Ichimaru's "Unleashed Bladeless Strike" technique has changed once again.

"Let me show you the fastest speed I've ever mastered." Jiang Jiu changed his footing and his breathing.

"The Beginning Breath, the First Form, Thunder..."

Chapter 175 Return to Base

Now, the two of them completely lost track of Jiang Jiu and were utterly unable to catch a glimpse of him.

Mei Zhen acted decisively, curling herself into a ball, allowing all the iron pieces to surround her, forming an iron sphere.

"Heh..." Jiang Jiu laughed, completely ignoring Ichigami's "Unleashed Bladeless Strike" and dodging it directly.

The blade struck the "iron ball" with a heavy blow.

However, without the Blood Demon Art, Jiang Jiu was still unable to break through Mei Zhen's defenses.

After completing "Beginning Breathing O First Form O Thunder", Jiang Jiu completely let go of his obsession.

He knew that Mei Zhen was no longer his match and could never keep up with him.

Reactivate all Blood Demon Arts.

The power of the markings was activated without hesitation.

"Hmph, I had an obsession before, so I let you live until now. Don't think I can't kill you."

Jiang Jiu said, "Thank you for helping me grow once again. This time, I will personally send you to hell and will not give you any chance to turn the tables."

Although Ichigami is strong, he is only ranked in the upper echelon among captains, even inferior to Kyoraku and Ukitake. Jiang Jiu naturally wouldn't take him seriously.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he simply dropped the plum needle and fled.

“Your companion has escaped. What are you going to do?” Jiang Jiu asked.

The plum needle remained silent.

"Beginning with breath, ending with form, the sun, moon, earth..."

Mei Zhen dared not move, while Jiang Jiu effortlessly charged up his attack to its strongest state, and then shattered the iron ball with a single blow.

As the iron ball shattered, the head of the plum needle flew high into the air.

Mei Zhen once again met her end at Jiang Jiu's hands.

"I'll gladly accept it..."

"Devouring God!"

Although she used the power she had in life, Mei Zhen's body was full of void power, with only a tenth of the power of the Grim Reaper remaining.

After this battle, Jiang Jiu's Hollow power surpassed that of the Shinigami and even the Fullbringer.

After silently sensing the power within his body, Jiang Jiu clearly felt that he had become stronger once again.

"It's time to leave."

"I understand both the power of the Visored and the power of the Arrancar, so there's no need for me to stay in Hueco Mundo any longer."
