Chapter 455 - SNS Chapter 453 Bad Luck

In that instant, countless sparks seemed to fly, dazzling brightly.

The newcomer's eyes, originally as sharp as a hawk's, widened in shock, staring in disbelief at the man who had suddenly raised his hand to block the attack.

"What fast reflexes! Any other Captain, except for the very top ones, would absolutely not have been able to avoid this strike of mine."

The newcomer marveled inwardly, but his hand movements showed no pause.

He retreated several steps without hesitation, quickly creating a safe distance between himself and his opponent.

As if fearing the opponent would cleave his head off with a single sword stroke, he distorted his wrist to raise his long sword above his head, then raised his left hand, gripping the sword hilt with both hands.

The attacker trembled all over, as if consumed by fear, his face ashen, his eyes revealing an unspeakable panic.

However, facing such a display, Aozaki found it somewhat amusing, but his smile still felt cold.

"Captain Isshin, what are you doing?"

Although he asked this question, Aozaki's thoughts were already racing.

He secretly pondered how he would display his extraordinary strength and shine in front of the two girls later.

Unexpectedly, Shiba Isshin suddenly grinned, a chilling smile like an evil villain's.

He burst out laughing:

"Captain-Commander, at this point, there's no need for such words, is there?"

"You can only blame your bad luck; both the people we need happen to be with you."

"Today is your death day!"

As soon as his voice fell, without Aozaki needing to consciously sense them, several powerful spiritual pressures suddenly emerged from all directions.

In the blink of an eye, a sound like a sudden gust of wind and rain came—

Swish swish swish!!!

Immediately after, agile figures like phantoms gradually solidified, appearing all around with Flash Steps.

Upon closer inspection, they were a group of old acquaintances.

Captain of the 2nd Division, Yushirou.

Sixth Division Captain, Kuchiki Byakuya.

Eighth Division Captain, Shunsui.

Eleventh Division Captain, Zaraki.

And, Thirteenth Division Captain, Ukitake.

Each of them exuded a majestic aura, radiating suffocating pressure, clearly indicating their hostile intentions.

The five Captains appeared suddenly like divine soldiers descending from the sky, their powerful auras seemingly solidifying the surrounding air, making the previously flowing air exceptionally heavy and viscous.

Facing such a grand scene, the two inexperienced girls couldn't help but feel timid, their gazes involuntarily turning to Aozaki, seeking comfort and reliance.

"Protect them; I'm going to stretch my muscles!"

Aozaki instructed softly, his voice light yet containing a reassuring power.

Senna and Kujō Nozomi, hearing this, were full of confusion, but two women dressed in kimonos, with extraordinary and ethereal temperaments, descended before them without warning.

Immediately after, Aozaki swept his gaze around, his eyes as sharp as blades:

"Leave these imposters to me. Don't get close later, and the patrol Squad remember to evacuate the crowd."

"Yes, sir!"

Upon receiving the order, the members of the Tenth Division's patrol security Squad immediately sprang into action, swiftly commencing the clearing work.

Regardless of which side was real or fake, as ordinary Shinigami, it was common sense to stay away from Captain-class battles.

Just then, an invisible barrier rose from the ground, like an impenetrable wall, spanning the air.

Super Pressure Barrier!

The five Captains felt the might of the transparent wall, each of their faces growing solemn.

Clearly, someone had unleashed an extremely powerful defensive skill.

Aozaki narrowed his eyes slightly, then clenched his right fist and swung it forward fiercely.

In that instant, an immense and unparalleled force surged forth, rushing straight ahead with the might of a thunderbolt.

With a "bang" sound.

Spiritual pressures collided, and an earth-shattering roar ensued.

Aozaki's fist landed squarely on the sole of Yushirou's foot as he came flying with a kick.

Two immense forces instantly collided, unleashing a tempestuous shockwave that swept in all directions...

In that instant, pillars of burning fire suddenly erupted from Yushirou's shoulders, that powerful force seeming to want to pierce the clouds.

This force was in no way inferior to the original, even stronger than the real Yushirou.

At the same time, Aozaki exerted force with his arm, and with a loud bang, Yushirou's body instantly exploded, flesh and blood splattering, turning into countless pieces of minced meat flying everywhere.

Seeing this scene, the other four Captains all showed expressions of horror.

He just used one punch to blow up a Captain; is this guy even human?

"Scatter, Shinra Bansho!"

As Kuchiki Byakuya's low cry sounded, his Zanpakuto instantly transformed into thousands of sharp blades.

Reflected in the light, they resembled countless falling cherry blossoms dancing in the air.

"Devour, Nozarashi!"

On the other side, Zaraki, wielding a massive cleaver, chopped down fiercely at Aozaki from above with the force of a collapsing mountain.

However, facing such a ferocious attack, Aozaki merely swayed slightly.

Then he extended two fingers together, seemingly casually tapping the side of the cleaver.

The destructive Zanpakuto just cracked open!

How is that possible!?

Looking at the shattered Zanpakuto in his hand, Zaraki was completely stunned, utterly unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.

Aozaki completely ignored the thousands of flower petals that rained down on him, only causing a slight itch.

He casually threw another punch.

Zaraki's massive head exploded like a ripe watermelon.

"When the flower wind rages, the flower god weeps. When the heavenly wind rages, the heavenly demon sneers, Katen Kyōkotsu."

"All waves, become my shield. All lightning, become my blade, Tiburón!"

Shunsui and Ukitake finally finished reciting the terrifying Zanpakuto release phrases, inherited from Genryūsai's lineage.

At this moment, Ukitake stood silently in the distance, holding his twin blades, his gaze fixed on the developing situation ahead.

And Shunsui was even more decisive; he leaped into his own shadow without hesitation.

In that instant, a section of pitch-black shadow blade shot out from beneath Aozaki's feet, piercing forward with a sharp momentum.

Facing this sudden attack, Aozaki reacted swiftly.

He flickered and leaped up suddenly.

At the same time, Shunsui followed like a shadow, also flying out of the shadow, and in mid-air, he leveled with the descending Aozaki.

In the Soul Society, Shunsui could not soar freely in the sky like a bird.

Therefore, at this critical moment, he made a decisive choice.

He shouted loudly:

"White!"

The moment he called out the color, Shunsui swung his blade, cutting without hesitation at the white haori on Aozaki.

One of Katen Kyōkotsu's Shikai abilities, Irooni!

If both sides call out a specific color, then an attack will only be effective if it targets the area covered by that color.

Furthermore, if the named color covers a larger proportion of the caller's body surface, then the attack unleashed by the caller will be more powerful.

But at the same time, this also means that the range available for the enemy to attack oneself becomes wider.

And vice-versa.
