Hueco Mundo.
Forest of Menos.
Ichimaru Gin, who had just escaped danger, had a strange expression.
Who would have thought that Sosuke Aizen's most loyal subordinate, Tosen Kaname, was actually Tobirama's spy? This was really unexpected...
After all...
Tosen Kaname looked like an honest man!
The power of the Uehara clan was really amazing in Soul Society, even the 9th Division Captain Tosen Kaname was also the Uehara clan's pawn!
"There's no other way..."
Ichimaru Gin glanced at Arrancar and Menos who were chasing after him. He pulled out his Zanpakuto and whispered, "Although Dean Kabuto does not like the Senju Brothers, we are still loyal to Lord Naraku after all..."
After thinking for a while...
Ichimaru Gin finally made up his mind. If he made a move, it was very likely to arouse Sosuke Aizen's suspicions. Aizen would even suspect that he and Tosen Kaname were in the same camp.
Even if the possibility of exposing himself was small...
Ichimaru Gin would rather sacrifice Tosen Kaname.
Except for Ichimaru Gin, there were other people on the battlefield that can act. Ichimaru Gin immediately contacted Coyote Starrk and Ulquiorra, asking them to find a way to save Tosen Kaname.
This small matter was simply too simple.
It was just that when Ulquiorra got the news, he was a little confused. Where did their boss reach out? How could Tosen Kaname be their spy?
In the entire Hueco Mundo...
Wasn't there only Sosuke Aizen left?
Originally, Hueco Mundo had a Vasto Lorde-class Menos called Baraggan, but a long time ago, Baraggan tried to stop Madara from wreaking havoc on Hueco Mundo...
In the end, Baraggan was chopped into pieces by Madara.
Now, in the entire Hueco Mundo, all the remaining Arrancar, Menos, as well as Ichimaru Gin, and Tosen Kaname who came to assist Aizen were all Uehara Naraku's subordinates...
This situation...
Ulquiorra did not dare to think about it.
Fortunately, Sosuke Aizen never believed in his subordinates. He had always relied on his own strength and treated them as decorations of his own power...
Otherwise, if Sosuke Aizen was replaced by a boss who believed in his subordinates, he would probably go crazy after knowing the truth.
Just when Ulquiorra risked his life to stop Grimmjow and save Tosen Kaname, Sosuke Aizen, who was standing on the high platform and in a stalemate with Orochimaru, still had a calm face...
To him...
It didn't matter if Tosen Kaname died.
It didn't matter if Tosen Kaname was alive.
This was the coldness of Sosuke Aizen.
Although the battle between Ulquiorra, Nelliel, Grimmjow, and the group of Arrancar and Menos was extremely intense, the lights of Cero were flashing everywhere, and the entire venue had long been turned into ruins because of their battle...
However...
In Sosuke Aizen's eyes, it was still not enough.
In comparison, Sosuke Aizen was more concerned about Orochimaru in front of him!
Sosuke Aizen stroked Kyouka Suigetsu in his hand and said slowly, "I have been waiting for this day ever since I slowly realized that someone was watching me. I also want to know if I can satisfy Mr. Orochimaru now."
Two rays of light flashed on Sosuke Aizen's lens, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile, "After all... there doesn't seem to be anyone in the world who is more suitable for me to test my strength than Mr. Orochimaru, right?"
"Hehehehe..."
The corners of Orochimaru's mouth couldn't help but curl up into a soft chuckle. In the next moment, his face suddenly turned grim and sinister. His teeth clenched slightly as he mocked, "What a sharp-tongued little brat... Right now, your subordinates are at a disadvantage!"
"It's just some trash used to decorate Las Noches."
Sosuke Aizen didn't care about his subordinates' situation. He continued lightly, "When I defeat Mr. Orochimaru, I will naturally have more accessories for Las Noches..."
Yes.
Just this group of Arrancar, who were like chickens and dogs in Sosuke Aizen's eyes, could not stop Sosuke Aizen from unifying Hueco Mundo!
"How arrogant..."
Orochimaru's fingers trembled slightly. His Zanpakuto, Kusanagi no Tsurugi, landed in his hands, and in an instant, a sinister smile flashed across his face, "Hmph, then let me test you brat... I hope you won't disappoint me!"
After all...
You are the person that Uehara Naraku has high hopes for!
If Aizen can't even get past here, then it would be too disappointing for Orochimaru.
"Mr. Orochimaru is worrying too much..."
Sosuke Aizen slowly adjusted his glasses, and a powerful reiatsu suddenly condensed on his fingertips, "Maybe Mr. Orochimaru should consider whether I will be disappointed in you... If I am too disappointed, our relationship in the future might be very unpleasant!"
The next moment...
Sosuke Aizen's eyes were full of laziness as he slowly read out the ability he used, "Hado #63 Raikoho(Fiery Lightning Howl)..."
The moment the reiatsu left Sosuke Aizen's fingertips, it turned into a roaring thunderbolt, flying toward Orochimaru with an aura of destroying everything!
Hado #63 Raikoho(Fiery Lightning Howl)!
There was no need to chant at all. He released this powerful Kido spell the moment his reiatsu condensed!
Even if it was the former Kido Corps Commander and Grand Kido Chief in Seireitei, could not be as casual as Sosuke Aizen!
The speed of this thunderbolt was extremely fast!
It was impossible for anyone present to withstand this attack without suffering any injuries!
However, this move was only Sosuke Aizen's preliminary test for Orochimaru. He was using the high speed and explosive force of Raikoho(Fiery Lightning Howl) to test Orochimaru's speed...
"Bakudo #81 Danku(Airtight)!"
Orochimaru suddenly stretched out his palm and erected a transparent reiatsu shield wall in front of him. The endless amount of Menos' spiritual power on his body was enough for him to use this move without chanting. In fact, this was also approaching Orochimaru's limit!
This Kido spell Danku(Airtight)...
It was enough to resist any Kido-based attacks with power up to level 89!
As expected, Raikoho(Fiery Lightning Howl), which was ranked 63rd, was easily blocked by the Danku(Airtight). It didn't even cause a ripple...
However...
In the next moment, the barrier instantly shattered!
In Orochimaru's slightly surprised eyes, he saw the shining Zanpakuto in Sosuke Aizen's hand as if it had fallen on a glass...
It easily shattered the barrier!
Danku(Airtight), who could easily block Raikoho(Fiery Lightning Howl)...
However, it was simply unable to resist Sosuke Aizen's slash!
Just one slash had directly shattered Danku(Airtight)'s defense!
This slash was so beautiful and elegant that even Orochimaru couldn't help but be a little dazed. Did Sosuke Aizen use Kyouka Suigetsu?
No...
It was not Kyouka Suigetsu!
It was just that Sosuke Aizen was extremely skilled in swordsmanship!
Whether it was Zanpakuto, Shunpo, Hakuda, or Kido's abilities, there was almost no one that Sosuke Aizen was not proficient in. The swordsmanship that he had learned casually could also make him stand at the peak of this world!
Even when fighting characters like Orochimaru...
Sosuke Aizen's battle posture was still as elegant as ever!
From this aspect, it also demonstrated this guy's confidence!
Clang!
Kusanagi no Tsurugi hurriedly blocked Orochimaru's front!
Orochimaru, who had been hiding in Hueco Mundo for thousands of years, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Separated by their sword, he looked at Sosuke Aizen who was facing him, and grinned in praise, "What a genius swordsman... I clearly haven't seen you seriously practice swordsmanship before..."
If he remembers correctly...
In the study room in his base, Sosuke Aizen's sword training information was actually very short. He seemed to have given up on sword training after obtaining Kyouka Suigetsu.
This was also very normal.
Because what Shinigami needed more was reiatsu to release more of Zanpakuto's abilities.
Now it seemed that...
That was not giving up on sword training at all!
Rather, Sosuke Aizen had already familiarized himself with the sword at that time. There was no need for him to waste too much time in this aspect!
Just the gorgeous swordsmanship that was about to kill Orochimaru in a split second was enough to prove Sosuke Aizen's attainments in swordsmanship...
"Swordsmanship?"
Sosuke Aizen chuckled and slowly waved the Kyouka Suigetsu in his hand as he continued to slash at Orochimaru, "When I came into contact with swordsmanship, I already knew how far I could go to the end by relying on swordsmanship alone..."
Sosuke Aizen continued to slash at Orochimaru. The corners of his lips curled into a smile, "In my opinion, I have already invested enough time in swordsmanship..."
Sosuke Aizen's sword light flashed!
At this moment, Aizen was like a sword master who had been tempered for many years. No, he originally relied on his talent to pass the tempering stage!
"This guy's talent..."
Orochimaru's expression was a bit ugly.
Now, Orochimaru could only hold the Kusanagi no Tsurugi in his hand and continuously block Sosuke Aizen's sword. Occasionally, he would stab out like a poisonous snake!
Originally, Orochimaru had been thinking about whether Uehara Naraku had praised Sosuke Aizen too much. Now that he thought about it, it was too funny...
This was not too much!
It should still be greatly underestimated!
Now, when Orochimaru and Sosuke Aizen really fought, he finally realized why Uehara Naraku had high hopes for Sosuke Aizen. This guy's talent was too terrifying...
It was clearly just a swordsmanship confrontation...
However, Kyouka Suigetsu was like a part of his arms in Sosuke Aizen's hands, occasionally slashing out a half moon, and sometimes stabbing out!
This guy was so good at swordsmanship!
Even Orochimaru can still see the shadow of Orochi-style swordsmanship!
Just relying solely on swordsmanship, Sosuke Aizen was able to deal with any sword arts, and in an instant, Aizen has seen through the weakness of Orochi-style swordsmanship with his own eyesight!
In this world, this was the first time Orochimaru had used the Orochi-style swordsmanship he had created in front of Sosuke Aizen. However, not long after they fought, Sosuke Aizen had seen through it and used it on Orochimaru!
The sinister Orochi-style swordsmanship was just like a snake...
It was possible to protrude out and bite the enemy!
Just as he had said, Sosuke Aizen had already reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, no, it should be said that he has cultivated any ability to the extreme!
Shunpo!
Sosuke Aizen disappeared in an instant!
In the instant that he disappeared, Sosuke Aizen had already moved to Orochimaru's side and the Zanpakuto in their hands clashed one after another!
This attack did not succeed!
Shunpo's speed was indeed not enough in front of Orochimaru!
Even if Sosuke Aizen's shunpo was extremely fast, it was not enough for Orochimaru who had experienced the baptism of space-time technique!
"This is really troublesome..."
Sosuke Aizen raised the Kyouka Suigetsu in his hand!
A bright sword light slashed out, and Kyouka Suigetsu's sword light was covered with a layer of invisible reiatsu. The Crescent Moon Slash instantly forced Orochimaru back!
Even Orochimaru did not think that he could resist this sword slash...
This Crescent Moon Slash was so strong that it almost split the entire venue in half in an instant. The Arrancar and Menos dodged in panic!
However...
This move was just bait.
In the next moment, Sosuke Aizen's figure appeared behind Orochimaru. He waved the Kyouka Suigetsu in his hand and drew a beautiful arc!
The Zanpakuto Kyouka Suigetsu...
It stabbed into Orochimaru's body!
Even Orochimaru couldn't help but be amazed. This was one of Orochi-style swordsmanship moves. He didn't even use it himself. He didn't expect that Sosuke Aizen would deduce it in battle!
Sosuke Aizen did not look at Orochimaru. He only chuckled and praised softly, "It really makes people can't help but praise... Even I have never seen such exquisite swordsmanship before..."
Indeed.
Soul Society's research on swordsmanship was slightly lower.
After graduating from the Spiritual Arts Academy, Shinigami was more willing to focus on communicating with their Zanpakuto to awaken the Shikai and Bankai, because this can make their spiritual power stronger...
And after Shikai and Bankai...
Training's swordsmanship seemed to be useless.
After all, the enemy that could be dealt with by Bankai's moves did not need special swordsmanship at all. If Bankai could not deal with the enemy, it seemed that they had no way to deal with it themselves...
Drip...
Drip...
Blood dripped down Kyouka Suigetsu.
Sosuke Aizen tilted his head slightly and glanced at Orochimaru, who was injured. He whispered, "If Mr. Orochimaru were to end like this, wouldn't it be a little disappointing for both of us?"
"Hehehehe... it can't even be considered a warm-up..."
The corners of Orochimaru's mouth curled into a strange smile. The injuries on his body recovered in an instant. This was Hollow's ability High-Speed Regeneration...
No...
This healing speed was even more terrifying than the High-Speed Regeneration!
While Orochimaru was recovering from his injuries, the Kusanagi no Tsurugi slowly merged into his body. This scene was especially strange...
Kusanagi no Tsurugi...
It was originally a part of Yamata no Orochi's body!
