Infinite: Start as a ghost

Faced with this situation, Jiang Jiu could not allow the other party to control her.

Four against one is indeed impossible to fight head-on, but he has speed.

This is his inner world, his realm, his domain; no one knows this world better than him.

With a series of rapid movements, he switched between teleportation and instantaneous movement, adapting to different terrains with each step.

With overwhelming speed, Jiang Jiu left the four far behind and chased after Kushanata.

He understood that as long as he was dealt with and his control over the four was broken, the situation would collapse immediately.

Kushanata stopped in his tracks when he saw Jiang Jiu chasing after him.

While being chased, he had no chance to cause much damage, so it was better to keep Jiang Jiu here and let the other four catch up.

He himself was also a captain-level fighter, and with the will of the golden skull armor supporting him, even without controlling the others, how could he possibly think he would lose, especially in just one or two short moves?

"Beginning Breathing O First Form O Thunder" In the rush, Jiang Jiu didn't have time to use the most powerful breathing technique, so he used the fastest ancestral-level move.

"What?" Kushanata was immediately shocked.

Because the moment Jiang Jiu used his move, Kushanata lost sight of him.

Then, a crack appeared on his golden skull armor.

Immediately afterwards, fragments fell off layer by layer, peeling away his original body.

"This...this...how is this possible!" Kushanata then realized that he had underestimated Jiang Jiu all along, but he had not really underestimated him.

Controlling Aizen was enough to show Kushanata's importance, but even so, he still underestimated Jiang Jiu.

He never imagined that Jiang Jiu possessed such offensive power, capable of shattering the golden skull armor representing the will of hell in a single blow.

Just... one strike.

"Are you surprised?" Jiang Jiu said, "You overestimate the will of hell. The so-called hell is just a product guarded by the Soul Society. Strong beings only emerge within the three realms."

"Without the supplement of the Hollow Realm, Soul Society, and the Real World, the strongest in Hell would only be at the Guardian level, not even as strong as Biachukas."

"As the gatekeeper of hell, you couldn't even foresee this?"

Chapter 234 Aizen Awakens

No sooner had he finished speaking than the other four arrived.

This time, Kushanata did not allow them to attack Jiang Jiu, but instead controlled them to form a square formation, with himself in the middle.

He didn't plan to go out alone again because he had witnessed Jiang Jiu's true strength.

He planned to use himself as the center, with the five of them attacking and defending together, and to use the battle with Jiang Jiu to cause disruption.

Kushanata's face was extremely pale. This was his last resort, a desperate measure he had no other choice.

Using this formation indicates that he genuinely believes Jiang Jiu alone poses a threat comparable to the five of them present.

"You think you're safe just because you're hiding in the middle?" Jiang Jiu's lips curled up slightly, and without changing his pace, he immediately came in front of Toshiro and Sojiro.

The two zombies, who had lost their Zanpakuto and their original consciousness, were immediately beheaded by Jiang Jiu.

Aizen thrust his sword at Jiang Jiu, but Jiang Jiu easily dodged it.

“A captain-level officer without a Zanpakuto can’t really be considered a captain-level officer.” Jiang Jiu sneered as he wandered around. “If you summoned other captains, like the previous Kenpachi, I might have given you some consideration. Unfortunately, you won’t have that chance.”

"In my inner world, can you still summon others?"

"Your actions have ruined your last chance."

"Aizen, release your Bankai!" Kushanata shouted. He realized that Jiang Jiu was right, but Aizen remained unmoved.

"Aizen?" Kushanata called out again, puzzled.

"Don't bother." Jiang Jiu seized the opportunity to kill Kuchiki Hibiki. "He can't do it."

“What do you mean?” Kushanata asked.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Jiu laughed loudly, "You've intruded into my inner world, understand?"

"This is my inner world!"

“Exposing one’s inner world is dangerous, but it also means handing over autonomy to me.”

"Entering another's inner world means that the reversal can only be completed when one of them dies."

Why does Aizen never use Bankai?

"Because his Bankai has this drawback!"

Jiang Jiu laughed loudly: "Look at this wind, this water, this mountain, this rain, these rivers, these plants, these animals, and the sun, moon and stars."

"These are my breathing techniques, my state of mind."

How do you eliminate wind, rain, thunder, and lightning?

"How will you destroy the sun, moon, and stars?"

How will you destroy the mountains and rivers?

"You cannot weaken me if you cannot completely eliminate these phenomena."

“Your inner worlds are all singular images, while mine is a complete ecosystem. How can you compare to me?”

"It's natural that we can't get out."

As Jiang Jiu spoke, Kushanata's expression grew increasingly grim.

Then, something happened that made his face even uglier.

Suddenly, Aizen's eyes lit up. Then, an overwhelming rage surged from him.

"You dare to control me?" Aizen's eyes flashed with killing intent, but he managed to suppress it: "After you kill him, it will be your turn."

Kushanata was shocked: "Impossible! How could such a thing happen?"

How did you break free from my control?

"Do you think I'm nothing just because I've lost the Hogyoku?" Aizen roared. "Don't forget, I am Aizen Sousuke!"

"You made me lose myself for a full half hour, you deserve to die!"

"Are you done talking?" Jiang Jiu said coldly. "I don't have time to wait for you to finish talking."

Aizen didn't even glance at Jiang Jiu, but kept his eyes fixed on Kushanata, pointing his finger at Jiang Jiu: "Double Binding Spell Ninth - Strike-Shattering Wheel..."

Jiang Jiu didn't even use his breathing technique, and casually slashed a few times: "Using a binding spell of number ten or lower to deal with me, and even abandoning the incantation, are you looking down on me?"

Kushanata was completely unable to move; a feeling called fear had quietly taken over all his emotions.

His Bankai was not actually released, meaning that Aizen forcibly released control while Aizen was in Bankai, and he was unable to control Aizen again.

Moreover, he's doomed.

Whether Aizen, after regaining his senses, becomes stronger, or Jiang Jiu gains the upper hand, he will ultimately die.

They are certain to die; there is absolutely no chance of survival!

"What are you going to do next, Aizen?" Jiang Jiu chuckled. "Based on my deduction, your Bankai cannot be unleashed until one of us dies."

“You’re right.” Aizen touched his slightly disheveled hair. “So you can die now.”

"To celebrate my return, to celebrate my renewed journey to godhood, please die."

An elegant and domineering aura has returned to this man.

Aizen now seems to have returned to the period when he was lying low in Soul Society.

"You can't kill me, Aizen." Jiang Jiu shook his head with a smile and said, "The only one who will die is you."

"Binding Spell Number Thirty: Mouth Thrust Three Flashes..."

Aizen suddenly used Kido to imprison Kushanata on the ground.

“If you run away, I’ll have a real headache,” Aizen said with a smile, then turned to Jiang Jiu and said, “It’s a pity I used Bankai unconsciously.”

“I really value your abilities and wisdom. If I had your assistance, I believe my plans before I died would have succeeded. It’s such a pity.”

Chapter 235 Aizen's Trump Card

"Why are you talking so much and not making a move yet?" Jiang Jiu said expressionlessly.

"Excuse me." Aizen smiled gently. "Please allow me to say it again: please die for my return."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Aizen suddenly closed in on Jiang Jiu and slashed down with his sword.

Jiang Jiu immediately felt a powerful pressure.

The "puppet" Aizen is vastly different from the conscious Aizen.

"Puppet" Aizen possesses everything the original Aizen had, including swordsmanship, spiritual pressure, Kido skills, combat experience, and so on.

However, he lacked two of the original's abilities.

That is wisdom and courage.

The oppressive aura that Jiang Jiu felt was Aizen's power.

When Aizen regained consciousness, his spiritual pressure was even lower than when he was controlled. During his puppet period, his potential was squeezed out, and when he was conscious, he would subconsciously protect himself and could not unleash his full spiritual pressure.

In fact, this applies to all living things.

When Aizen was lucid, his spiritual pressure was slightly inferior to Jiang Jiu's, but his swordsmanship became more than twice as agile.

The "slash" in "slashing fist and walking ghost" refers to the way of the sword.

Although their sword skills were almost basic compared to Jiang Jiu's, they were still skills honed over thousands of years.

In terms of foundation, breathing techniques cannot compare to the swordsmanship of the Grim Reaper.

The breathing technique of swordsmanship benefits from superior swordsmanship and a wide variety of moves.

Therefore, once Aizen began to use his skills flexibly, Jiang Jiu's pressure increased dramatically.

However, it only increases the pressure; the threat remains completely absent.

"If that's all you've got, how could you possibly kill me, Aizen?" Jiang Jiu's expression remained unchanged: "If this is all you've got, then your era is over."
