Chapter 810: Chapter 635: Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water, Aizen’s Bankai
This scene is truly spine-chilling!
The Hollow World has never witnessed a duel of this level!
Everyone present thought that Orochimaru and Aizen Sousuke should be evenly matched; at the very least, this battle shouldn’t end so quickly...
However, Aizen Sousuke, with his overwhelming power, made everyone realize he could effortlessly defeat Orochimaru. Everyone knew Aizen Sousuke might be very strong...
But unexpectedly...
Aizen Sousuke, even in the Shikai state, sliced Orochimaru, the guide of the Hollow World, in half with one stroke. Generally speaking, this would already be a fatal injury!
Aizen Sousuke seemingly didn’t believe Orochimaru would be killed by him.
Perhaps because Orochimaru is too bizarre, Aizen Sousuke didn’t think that his full spiritual pressure blow would completely kill Orochimaru.
Indeed.
Whether it’s Hollows or Soul Reapers...
Anyone could perish under Aizen Sousuke’s blade...
Yet Orochimaru survived; his body, split in two, instantly transformed into countless small white snakes scattering and escaping, quickly regrouping into a Giant White Snake!
"Hehehehe..."
A sinister, indifferent face emerged on the Giant White Snake’s head, the mouth slowly opened, emitting Orochimaru’s raspy voice: "What a terrifying little brat... could push me to such a degree..."
The next moment, countless purple mists erupted from the Giant White Snake!
All these purple mists carried the paralyzing poison inherent in the Giant White Snake, yet as they landed on Aizen Sousuke, they had no effect whatsoever.
Under the assault of spiritual pressure...
The purple mist was entirely obliterated!
"Useless trickery."
Aizen Sousuke slowly shook his head, murmuring softly, "Orochimaru-san, no matter how many bizarre abilities you hide, in the face of absolute power, they cannot contend..."
Aizen Sousuke lifted his gaze to the Giant White Snake in the sky, speaking leisurely: "From the moment I knew someone was spying on me, I had prepared for today...
From that day on, I ceased to release my spiritual pressure, stopped using any excessive jutsu, stopped employing any power that might alert you, making you subconsciously believe that everything I did relied on Kyoka Suigetsu and hidden intrigues..."
Aizen Sousuke’s lips curled slightly, smiling as he continued: "Only then would Orochimaru-san think that he had everything under control, luring you to focus all possibilities on how to break through Kyoka Suigetsu..."
"..."
Orochimaru’s expression stiffened slightly.
Because at this moment, behind Aizen Sousuke, there was a faint shadow of Uehara Naraku, no, Aizen Sousuke was increasingly resembling that guy Uehara Naraku!
Even with Black Zetsu’s assistance...
No, or rather, even without Black Zetsu’s assistance, Aizen Sousuke might have been able to turn the tide with his own cunning!
Aizen Sousuke almost entirely relied on his own stealth and strategy to achieve the reversal; he had begun planning since he detected someone monitoring him!
A cold sweat involuntarily appeared on Orochimaru’s forehead; Aizen Sousuke wasn’t wrong, for the ability of Kyoka Suigetsu to manipulate the five senses was too powerful, causing even Orochimaru to believe Aizen Sousuke would certainly use Kyoka Suigetsu in battle...
Who would abandon such a bizarre Zanpakuto ability?
Thus...
Orochimaru’s attention was constantly focused on Kyoka Suigetsu.
Even though Orochimaru knew very well that Aizen Sousuke’s spiritual pressure was extremely strong, he had no idea that it had reached this degree...
Furthermore, Aizen Sousuke never exposed his true power, making Orochimaru subconsciously overlook him; in fact, this guy was already terrifyingly strong!
Even if he didn’t reach the level of Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni from a thousand years ago that made many tremble in fear, he had long surpassed characters like Kyoraku Shunsui...
"You brat..."
The mouth beneath the Giant White Snake slowly opened, revealing a set of menacing fangs: "You are truly adept at hiding yourself..."
"That’s also an unavoidable matter."
Aizen Sousuke looked up at the Giant White Snake, continuing calmly: "Because from the moment I couldn’t determine when Orochimaru-san started monitoring me, no matter how I hid, it was impossible to escape Orochimaru-san’s established impression..."
Aizen Sousuke’s face bore a faint, indifferent smile as he slowly withdrew his Kyoka Suigetsu Zanpakuto, continuing: "At this point, employing wisdom for layout becomes futile; only by relying on one’s own power can the situation be broken..."
At this moment, Aizen Sousuke’s spiritual pressure erupted once more, like a tangible force sweeping across the entire venue, forcing all present Arrancar Hollows to withdraw embarrassingly from the battlefield!
At this moment...
Even one known as the most powerful spiritual pressure, Coyote Starrk, couldn’t help but take notice!
"Although I dislike using absolute power..."
Aizen Sousuke clenched his fist, his expression gradually showing discontent, seemingly genuinely unpleased by his formidable power: "But in situations controlled by others, there are no better options..."
Indeed.
There are no better options.
If one’s life is forcibly controlled by others, apart from relying on one’s unwavering will to unleash powerful strength to alter circumstances, there seems to be no other way...
