Blood splattered on the ground, and a bloody mist filled the air with a nauseating stench.
Valentino had two of his ribs broken, and his internal organs were in excruciating pain from the shock. As soon as he landed, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Aizen's sudden sword strike had completely caught him off guard, especially with that overwhelming internal energy that was shockingly powerful.
If not for the inner armor he was wearing, and if Aizen's Blade had not used the back of the blade to strike, that blow would have left him completely incapacitated.
Even so,Valentino was already terrified.
He never expected Aizento have hidden his strength so deeply.
That fierce strike had clearly been held back by Aizen; otherwise,Valentino would have already been cut into pieces.
"Brother Valentino."
