At this moment, all the Espada panicked. Was this the power of the Captain-Commander of the Shinigami, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni? With a single strike, five Espada were annihilated, and the other five were severely wounded. Even Aizen spat blood.
"Sinner Aizen, die!" Before Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni could even finish speaking, he appeared beside Aizen and swung Ryujin Jakka.
Li Er, watching from above, couldn't help but click his tongue. This old man Yamamoto was quite cunning, and he knew the principle that villains die from talking too much. Therefore, he attacked first and then shouted, which was somewhat unsportsmanlike.
In fact, it was also related to Aizen's Zanpakuto. After all, Aizen's Zanpakuto had a very powerful hypnotic effect. Old man Yamamoto didn't want Aizen to activate Kyoka Suigetsu's ability.
Aizen, spitting blood at this moment, never expected that after the barrier shattered, old man Yamamoto would strike immediately. There was no way; he could only rely on the Hougyoku now.
Aizen directly swallowed the Hougyoku. His body was instantly enveloped by something unknown. Yamamoto's sword had already struck Aizen, sending him flying and simultaneously burning half of Aizen's body to ashes.
Just then, Aizen's spiritual pressure surged, and the half of his body quickly regenerated.
Old man Yamamoto frowned. This was super regeneration, an ability of the Arrancar.
"It seems, Aizen, you have indeed defiled the honor of a Shinigami," old man Yamamoto said coldly.
This time, he didn't attack rashly. Since the previous two strikes hadn't killed Aizen, another one wouldn't help. It was better to see what kind of monster Aizen had become.
Of course, his peripheral vision also swept towards Li Er, his expression grave. This Li Er gave him a very strong feeling of power, so Yamamoto, with the current situation unclear, chose to stand his ground for the time being.
At this moment, Aizen was completely unharmed, except for the Hougyoku that appeared on his chest. Aizen, still in his Shinigami form, felt the power within him and laughed up at the sky. This power was right.
Yamamoto felt it and secretly sneered. If this was all, he, Yamamoto, would be disappointed.
Aizen clearly wanted to test if he could now contend with the Captain-Commander.
Then, Aizen raised his long sword and, without using Kyoka Suigetsu, said, "Captain-Commander, I shall learn from you."
Old man Yamamoto's aura changed again. He flicked his long sword and snorted, "Ryujin Jakka, West - Raging Sun Prison Garb!"
Then, old man Yamamoto appeared in front of Aizen using Shunpo. He swung his sword, and Aizen raised his sword to block. The powerful spiritual pressure collided, and Aizen was immediately sent flying. At the same time, a burnt smell wafted through the air. It was clear that old man Yamamoto had once again severely wounded Aizen with a single blow.
At this moment, old man Yamamoto was no longer holding back. He used Shunpo again, intending to completely eliminate Aizen.
However, Aizen unleashed an even more powerful spiritual pressure, and a white, cocoon-like structure, similar to that of an insect, appeared on his body, completely enveloping him.
Even so, Aizen was still being suppressed by old man Yamamoto. At this moment, old man Yamamoto's expression became serious because he felt that Aizen could still become stronger, which was truly outrageous.
Therefore, Yamamoto's attacks were all fatal, and he spoke no further.
Aizen fought somewhat dejectedly. Was this Yamamoto's power? It was truly terrifying.
"Hougyoku, give me strength!" Aizen roared.
As expected, the white cocoon-like structure outside shattered. Aizen in this stage was still enveloped by milky white solid spiritual pressure, but his head and face were exposed. At this moment, Aizen had reached the pinnacle of Shinigami power and was on par with old man Yamamoto.
This was because Aizen had managed to block Yamamoto's slashes.
Furthermore, Aizen could counterattack from time to time. Yamamoto's expression had become quite grim because this was not Aizen's final form.
Just then, Aizen erupted, sending Yamamoto flying. Aizen let out a long roar at the sky. At this moment, even though the Hougyoku was no longer within the host, it called out to the host and attempted to return.
At this moment, a slit resembling an eye appeared on Aizen's forehead, his eyebrows disappeared, and three pairs of giant butterfly wings grew from his back. A hole with the Hougyoku embedded in the center appeared on his chest, and his right hand fused with his Zanpakuto. At this moment, Aizen was no longer a Shinigami.
He had transformed from the pupa form of the second stage to the butterfly form of this stage.
Looking at the drastically transformed Aizen, all the Captains were shocked. Not only that, they also gathered beside old man Yamamoto and began to attack Aizen.
However, they were quickly blocked by the remaining Espada. Still, quite a few attacks reached Aizen. Aizen didn't dodge at all, dusted himself off, and sneered disdainfully, "Is this all the power you have, floating bamboo Fourteen Lang!"
Indeed, among the attackers just now was an veteran powerhouse like Ukitake Jushiro, but the attack on Aizen caused him no harm whatsoever.
Yamamoto's expression was heavy and unsightly because the current Aizen was very, very strong.
"Ryujin Jakka, North - Heaven and Earth Ash Farewell!" At this moment, old man Yamamoto unleashed his strongest attack!
The colossal spiritual pressure directly blew away everything around them. At this moment, old man Yamamoto's aura gradually weakened. After all, he was getting old, and his stamina couldn't remain at its peak forever.
However, Aizen waved his hand, unleashing a massive spiritual pressure. The two clashed in mid-air and exploded. Yamamoto's ultimate move was also reduced to nothingness at this moment.
"Haha, I was right after all. This me is the strongest!" Aizen laughed up at the sky. At this moment, Aizen saw Li Er, his laughter stopped, and he instantly appeared beside Li Er, throwing a punch.
Li Er smiled and shook his head. This Aizen was actually trying to test him.
Raising his hand, Li Er had already caught Aizen's fist. Aizen struggled his body, but he couldn't break free. At this moment, Aizen's expression slightly changed. With his current strength, he still couldn't defeat Li Er?
"Mr. Li Er, as expected, you are powerful!" Aizen said without any embarrassment.
Li Er released Aizen's fist. Aizen's spiritual pressure surged again. Yamamoto below's expression changed. It could still increase? And that Li Er, was he that strong? Who was he? Where did he come from!
At this moment, Yamamoto's heart was filled with doubts and deep confusion. He knew the origin of Yhwach from a thousand years ago, and there were no unknown powerful beings. However, he had no impression of this Li Er at all. Moreover, the fact that he could block Aizen's attack with a raised hand made him very surprised, because it seemed like not a trace of energy leaked out.
