Chapter 240 239: Second Battle
There are only two people who can stand on the top of the Shinigami.
One of them.
Aizen Sosuke once made a violent statement.
The battle between Shinigami is a battle between spiritual pressure.
In other words... the strength at the soul level creates an impeccable attack and defense.
Elephants will not be hurt by hounds, but every move can easily crush the opponent.
From a theoretical point of view, there is nothing wrong with this statement.
The other one.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni holds a different opinion.
The battle between Shinigami...
'It is a fight for life after using all your skills. '
Cut, punch, walk, ghost.
The classification of the four major systems all have traces of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's participation, design, and research.
Therefore.
The battle of the old man has a sense of elegance that is completely different from his appearance.
The ability of the Zanpakutō cannot be used.
That is to adjust the strategy as quickly as possible... and use other means of attack.
Fake fight.
At this moment, the old man Shan did not hold back.
Instead, he took a half step closer and smashed his left hand down from top to bottom!
This is a double bone.
Huh...
In the echo of the wind-breaking and bone-breaking sound, Arima Shizuya hastily responded to the attack, and the whole person was immediately knocked out.
Not given the slightest chance to breathe.
The figure of the old man Shan was like a bright rocket, and at this moment he began to flash and rush forward continuously, rushing towards the figure in the air at the speed of the last to arrive first.
Instant step!
It was even a very advanced skill.
The killer with a ghost-like face rushed forward again, accompanied by a powerful and heavy whip kick, directly facing Arima Shizuya's face!
Such momentum and strength.
If he hit him, it would be up to the Dusi whether he would survive or not.
Arima Shizuya turned his head and parried... The forearm was hit in the middle, and the whole person's expression became extremely painful.
"Gu..."
"Is this the only thing I taught you?"
Before he could respond, he attacked again.
Twisting around, punching!
This attack came straight at his jaw, but Arima Shizuya gritted his teeth and dodged it sideways.
Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's old strength had just gone and the new strength had not yet been generated, Arima Shizuya took a breath and clenched his fist, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The attack and defense changed in an instant, and this was the right time...
Before his thoughts could settle, the old man in the mountain snorted coldly.
"A trifling trick."
He grabbed Arima Shizuya's arm, and the seemingly skinny body, the power he burst out made it impossible for him to break free.
He was pressed close to his body.
But it was not to the point where he was completely helpless.
"The eighty-eighth broken way..."
"The ninety-sixth broken way..."
The two voices almost overlapped, which also meant that the strategic intentions of both sides were quite obvious.
Close to his body, and then use the unavoidable ghost way to further suppress the opponent!
It's just that the number used by the old man Shan was too exaggerated, so that the former couldn't help showing a rather surprised expression.
The moment when his thoughts were misplaced, he didn't wait to speak.
Crack... snap!
The process of chanting was omitted.
Just at the moment when the voice fell, the old man Shan's body revealed a black and red background.
Like a burning charcoal block, it contained a daunting temperature, accompanied by the movement of breathing...
At this moment, a milky white turbulence was spewed out.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, with a serious face, looked calmly at the former disciple in front of him and said in a sonorous voice.
"One knife cremation."
Between Arima Shizuya's suddenly contracted pupils, the figures of the two were completely engulfed by the bright red flames that soared into the sky.
Like a sharp knife standing in place, such a powerful and terrifying spiritual power swallowing and spitting out has burned everything around at this moment.
A series of dazzling offensive and defensive battles.
In the eyes of some soldiers, it was completely impossible to catch their movements and whereabouts.
The big dog with an iron bucket on his head even said uneasily.
"Now, now... are they evenly matched?"
Only a few decent people can see the essence at this time.
"Ahem, ahem... No. It's the teacher who has the upper hand."
Ukitake Jushiro's tone was a little subtle, and even Kyoraku Shunsui beside him had a solemn expression at this moment.
The expressions of the two were too difficult to understand, so that Soi-Fong beside him couldn't help but say.
"Since you have the upper hand, why do you still show such an expression?"
Yes.
Why?
Kyoraku Shunsui pursed his lips slightly, as if he hesitated for a while, and then sighed lightly.
"Because it's too unexpected."
A simple and clear reason.
"Arima Shizuya's age... should not be a hundred years old, right?"
What are the results of other people of the same age now?
You have to know that Soi-Fong, who is of the same age, was unable to put up any resistance at this moment and became a complete spectator.
Even the rising star Hitsugaya Toushirou, who is known for his unique talent and has attracted much attention.
The opponent would definitely not be able to withstand such an attack.
Already, they are completely different people... Arima Shizuka has also reached the peak of the strong with her own strength.
"In time, even if Arima Shizuka wants to become the captain, it won't be a fantasy, right?"
"Thinking about it this way, I can't help but feel sad. After all..."
"With such talent, he can only be our enemy."
In time, his achievements will definitely be far more than just a captain.
It's a pity.
And it's scary.
Some people sighed, and naturally some people felt disdain.
Sui Feng, who had completely recovered her mentality, stood up and turned her eyes to the figure farther away.
"Since I can't help, at least I have to stop the bastards here..."
Just as she stood up, Kyoraku Shunsui, who was not far away, reached out and pressed her to the spot.
"It's better not to act rashly."
The captain of the second team couldn't understand this behavior at all, stepped back, and shook his hand.
The face of such a petite person was unusually firm.
"Why?!"
Kyoraku Shunsui didn't feel offended at all, but just said calmly.
"Of course it's because of Aizen Sosuke, this guy's troublesome ability."
Mirror flower and water moon
I can't be sure when I was deceived, and I can't be sure when I got out of the illusion.
Without knowing the other party's ability, such a rash action... is likely to lead to a result that people will regret.
"You don't want to stab your Zanpakutō into the body of other companions, right?"
Just stating this fact.
Saifeng's expression flickered pale for a while, and finally retreated to her original position in silence.
The tragic situation of Omaeda is still vivid in my mind.
If I have to experience it myself...Saifeng is not sure if I can still stay calm.
"Then can we just watch like this?"
Komamura Sajin's voice was hoarse, and his right hand holding the Zanpakutō clenched.
Kyoraku Shunsui was also very disappointed, and he was obviously helpless and unwilling to accept the current situation.
"There is no way... After all, the so-called intelligence war is also part of the confrontation between the two sides."
Although the person who said this may not have this intention.
But the fact is that this sentence runs through the entire plot of Bleach, and almost summarizes all the current situations of the battle.
This is the case with the betrayal war at this moment.
This is also the case with the future battle of Karakura Town.
Even in the more distant future... the chapter of the thousand-year blood war is the same.
The advantage of hiding in the dark side is that you can attack the enemy by surprise and hurt their vital points.
Aizen has been lurking for many years, and it is even more unlikely that he will choose to attack when he is not sure.
Therefore.
"Although it may sound very aggrieved, for us... there is no other solution for the time being except to wait and see."
Reluctance, humiliation, anger...
All kinds of emotions are rolling and brewing in their chests, but they have not made these captains lose their most basic rationality.
Not far away, Ichimaru Gin looked at the people behind him and couldn't help but sigh.
"Really no one moved."
Tosen Kaname remained silent, only Aizen showed an extremely bland smile.
"Nothing to be surprised, Gin."
People will have awe of the unknown.
They will show a more cautious attitude towards things that they only know a little about.
"I missed the best opportunity between hesitation and indecision."
"I didn't realize it until everything was settled..."
"So-called humans are like this. Although they can summarize, they are not used to learning from experience and lessons."
The so-called disguise has been torn off.
Aizen, who was looking down from above, stared at the people not far away, but only for a moment, and then he moved his eyes to the side.
There is no need to pay attention to one or two, because the existence of these people... has no threat at all.
The focus is still on the two parties who are confronting each other under their feet.
"I want..."
"I'm here, sir."
"The data you need to obtain is almost the same. Don't waste the time that Shizuya-kun has bought. Go and bring that person here."
"Chengzhi."
Tosen was about to leave the place. Ichimaru Gin stood side by side with Aizen, looking down...
Until he frowned unconsciously.
"What do you think, Gin."
Although the sudden question was unexpected, it was not to the point of being speechless.
After a short silence, Ichimaru Gin responded.
"Sure enough...very strong."
There is no doubt about Arima Shizuya's strength.
The experience of learning under him made Ichimaru Gin believe that the other party's level was high.
But even so.
At this moment...the other party is still no match for Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
"Indeed."
Aizen's eyes flickered, and then he pursed his lips and couldn't help but sigh.
There is also a gap between the first-class spiritual power.
As an old strong man, he is also a figure at the top of the Soul Society.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's level has already touched the ceiling called the limit.
And Arima Shizuya, although equally powerful at this moment...he has just passed the threshold and can compete with the other party on the same stage.
-Before leaving, he took the initiative to provoke the other party and strive to fight with Yamamoto.
Although this is also a manifestation of the will of the person involved, it seems a bit "reckless" at this moment.
After all, the difference in strength between the two sides is visible to the naked eye.
Even more...
Before Aizen's thoughts settled down.
A certain embarrassed figure rushed out from the raging fire.
The other party was surrounded by raging flames, but he rolled on the ground twice to put them out.
Then he stood up.
Arima Shizuya's slightly embarrassed, but slightly panting posture was reflected in everyone's eyes.
The right arm drooped down somewhat weakly, because there was a big cut at the corner of the eyebrow on the right face, so that the left eye could only be slightly closed at this moment.
In comparison.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who walked out slowly from the fire, seemed much calmer.
Of course, this does not mean that the other party was unharmed.
On the left hand, the little finger was severely charred and fell off.
It was floating in the wind, turning into bits and pieces of debris and disappearing...
At the same time.
A small dent on the chest was the mark left by Arima Jing in the fight just now.
Not only was he beaten and ravaged unilaterally... Arima Jing also put up his own resistance.
However, even so, it seemed that it was not enough to affect Yamamoto's fighting ability.
He gently waved the blade in his hand and extinguished the flames that were wrapped around his mountain. The captain approached step by step, his eyes were like substance... deep and solemn.
He pursed his lips and placed his left hand on his right shoulder.
His five fingers suddenly exerted force, and the force that came out straightened the dislocated muscles and bones, and at this moment, a pain that was enough to make people sweat profusely broke out.
After dealing with these things, Arima Jing also wiped the cold sweat from his face,
"It's a headache~ I thought I could toss with you, old man."
"With your ability, it's far from enough."
As the other party said.
The old man's judgment of the situation is far better than his own.
While thinking, Arima Shizuya's eyes swept over the other party, and the sigh in his eyes was more than three times stronger.
One knife cremation...
The reason why it was listed as a forbidden technique is that it will backfire on the user, so it is not taught.
This not only means that this ghost art is powerful, but also means that it needs to pay a price.
"By the way, it is indeed a headache that I can't absorb the flames of other systems in time..."
After releasing Garuda's ability, Arima Shizuya can also absorb the flames of the flowing blade Jakka.
But it is impossible to deal with the fierce attack of the old man while taking the time to deal with the other part of the 'flame'.
The terrifying battle intuition.
It can analyze the current situation almost in an instant, and gain the upper hand in an instant through a decisive and adventurous style of action.
So.
Is this the horror of the thousand-year-old war ghost?
It is really amazing.
Even if he has been mentally prepared, and through Garuda's ability, he barely makes up for the gap between the two sides.
But now it seems that wanting to be "on par" with him is just wishful thinking.
Therefore.
"Let's stop here, Mr. San."
Because.
"The next period of time will not be a simple contest."
Zanpakuto, release.
Without the protection of Garuda, it means that Arima Shizuka will also be attacked by Ryujin Jakka directly.
So what kind of confidence did he have to do this?
Under the gaze of everyone, Arima Shizuka also smiled and raised his Zanpakuto above his head, until he whispered another name.
"Bankai·Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils·Gandharva."
Come on.
This is the second battle.
