Bleach: The Invincible Slacker from Rukongai

Chapter 160: Chapter 160



At this moment, Aizen looked towards the direction of Uehara Shiroha.

Just then, an Arrancar from the Exequias came over and reported, "Master Aizen, Dordoni encountered the invader Ichigo Kurosaki and unfortunately died in battle. Cirucci Sanderwicci and Gantenbainne are in a tough fight!"

"I understand!" Aizen looked at the half-kneeling Arrancar with an indifferent look. "However, you should have something else to report to me, right? Who ordered the Exequias to pursue Kurosaki Ichigo without authorization?"

He had previously ordered each of the Espada to stay at Las Noches and not to act without authorization. But it was obvious that a few of the Espada had thoughts they shouldn't have and took action secretly.

He had anticipated this. The actions and thoughts of these Espada were also part of the plan.

Facing Aizen's questioning, the Arrancar on the ground felt like he was falling into an ice cellar, and cold sweat instantly flowed down. At this moment, he was under unimaginable pressure. Just a simple question made his whole body numb and unable to move.

Just when this Arrancar was about to collapse mentally, Szayelaporro Granz, the Octava Espada, walked in. He was still the same, with pink hair, golden pupils, and glasses, looking like a decent person.

It was he who ordered the Exequias to deal with the injured Ichigo Kurosaki. Even Uehara Shiroha.

Seeing that things could not be concealed, he showed up. This was not the first time he had done such a thing.

A long time ago, Szayelaporro became interested in Uehara Shiroha's power. At that time, he was still a Cero Espada, and used the former Segunda Espada Barragan and others to test Uehara Shiroha.

After that, he personally tried to take down Uehara Shiroha, but was beaten so badly that his mother could not recognize him, and his body was torn apart. It was also because of that battle that the severely injured Szayelaporro was forced to split himself and became the current Octava Espada.

After the matter was exposed, he was still thinking about being clever to hide it from Aizen. But he was completely seen through.

So this time, Szayelaporro learned his lesson and told his inner thoughts in detail: "Lord Aizen, I am doing this to defeat that Uehara Shiroha. And Uehara Shiroha alone is difficult enough to deal with, and with the addition of Ichigo Kurosaki who has amazing potential, I am worried that things will get out of control. That's why I thought of letting the Exequias deal with the injured Ichigo Kurosaki, so as not to affect your plan. Of course, this is also for my research."

He was not lying, but the former was secondary and the latter was the key. For him, it didn't matter who won or lost, as long as he could perfect his research. The experimental materials this time were especially important to him.

After all, the power of Ichigo Kurosaki and Uehara Shiroha really attracted him. In particular, Uehara Shiroha's power of time and space was like a black hole, extremely mysterious, which fascinated him very much.

"So, I see. You can go now!" Aizen had a calm face. He knew that what Szayelaporro said was true, but not entirely true. He was too lazy to make an extra expression.

Aizen had no expectations for the other party's research. In his opinion, Szayelaporro was already a dead man. There would be no results for a dead man.

He was already a dead man since the day this guy set his sights on Uehara Shiroha. The reason why he was able to survive until now was not because of his cleverness or the protection of Las Noches, but because Uehara Shiroha felt that this guy was still useful.

Aizen had no intention of reminding or saving the other party. If he could use an Espada to hold back Uehara Shiroha, even for a short time, that would be great. It was a very good deal.

Szayelaporro regarded others as chess pieces and research materials, but in the eyes of Aizen, the other party was the chess piece and experimental subject.

After Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia, Uryū Ishida and Yasutora Sado also defeated their enemies respectively.

Even though they were trapped in the enemy's base camp and knew the horror of the Arrancar and the Espada, the four of them chose to move on without hesitation.

In addition to rescuing Orihime Inoue, they all had reasons not to give up. Needless to say, Ichigo Kurosaki and the other two needed to prevent Aizen from sacrificing Karakura Town and the 100,000 souls there to create the Ōken.

If they didn't fight hard, they would lose their hometown. As a Shinigami, Rukia had the responsibility to protect the Soul King and the residents of Karakura Town.

Here, Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryū Ishida, and Rukia continued to move forward. Yasutora Sado followed the blasted wall and came to the desert again.

In the white desert, he saw an Arrancar walking towards him. This man was tall, wearing a white coat, with long black hair parted in the middle, an eye patch on his left eye, and a strange weapon in the shape of a huge crescent scythe in his hand.

The opponent's weapon was very long, with two huge crescent-shaped curved blades, and a long black chain on the handle. The most important thing is that Sado felt a heavy pressure from this Arrancar.

There was such an oppressive force without an outburst of Reiatsu. The person who came must be one of the Espada.

Fortunately, after coming to Hueco Mundo, he had awakened the attack form of his left arm, "The Left Arm of the Devil [Brazo Izquierda del Diablo]," which had amazing power. Now both of his arms had powerful abilities, so he would definitely win.

Just like Kensei Muguruma doesn't like to waste time in battle, Sado would only fight with all his strength. This time was no exception—he decided to finish off the enemy with one punch.

So, Sado swung Brazo Izquierda del Diablo and launched the strongest attack on the guy with a weird smile on his face, who looked like a praying mantis.

His punch hit the opponent's stomach hard, and shock waves spread out like a hurricane, blowing away a lot of sand. Wild sand flew around, filling the air, and then bursts of roars sounded.

However, after one punch, the opponent's feet were only slightly off the ground, and his skin was not even broken.

"This is your greatest strength? Is that all?" Nnoitra Gilga, the Quinto Espada, had a look of disdain on his face, and his smile became more and more mysterious.

Next, he swung the huge scythe-like Zanpakutō in his hand without hesitation and chopped Sado to the ground.

Unlike the Noveno Espada Aaroniero, Nnoitra was the Quinto Espada, and he had a unique skill. His hierro was extremely strong, the strongest among the Espada.

For the truly strong, Nnoitra was just a target with thicker skin, and it was a little more difficult to cut through at most. But for opponents of the same level or weaker, facing such an enemy that could not be broken through, there was only despair in their hearts.

This ability belongs to the category of "bullying invincibility." When the weak encounter such an enemy, there is no possibility of turning the tables. No matter how careless the opponent is, it is meaningless if you cannot hurt them.

And Sado was so "lucky."

In the Soul Society arc, he had just cleared the minor opponents when he met the elite captain Shunsui Kyōraku, which was equivalent to meeting the ultimate BOSS just after leaving the Novice Village. Without any suspense, he was knocked to the ground by Shunsui Kyōraku.

After coming to Hueco Mundo, Sado met another person whose ability was naturally his counter: Nnoitra. During the Thousand-Year Blood War, he had to face Yhwach and the Sternritter who were strengthened by Auswählen.

You know, Ichigo Kurosaki was born at the maximum level, Uryū Ishida unlocked the Antithesis cheat, and the ability of Orihime Inoue was praised by the big guys. Only Yasutora Sado was like his skin color—plain and unpretentious—and had hardly been strengthened before and after.

Even so, he had to encounter high-level opponents one after another. If life was a game, then he was playing on hell difficulty. His adventure was really something. And his deep skin color and unfortunate experiences also vividly interpreted what it meant to have bad luck.

However, the strong never complain about the environment. So after the Thousand-Year Blood War, Yasutora Sado, who was at the captain level, chose to become an ordinary boxer. Since you can't beat the big guys, choose the right opponents.

After knocking down Yasutora Sado, Nnoitra did not choose to finish him off, and even ignored the opponent's desperate attack.

His Fracción, Tesra Lindocruz, was very puzzled by this. "Lord Nnoitra, this is too dangerous. What if..."

"There is no such thing as a chance of disaster!" Nnoitra ruthlessly interrupted the other party's kind reminder and said confidently, "My body is the strongest. No matter whether it is a Shinigami or an Arrancar, it is impossible to hurt me. I will kill all those invaders. This will prove that I am the strongest Espada!"

At this moment, although Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryū Ishida, and Rukia noticed that there was a problem with Sado's Reiatsu, it was too late for them to rescue him. Because they all encountered extremely difficult Espada.

At this time, they could only trust in Sado.

Uryū Ishida encountered the Octava Espada Szayelaporro. The enemy was the former Cero Espada, a senior Vasto Lorde-level Arrancar, who was both intellectual and powerful, and had an absolute home advantage.

And Uryū was accompanied by only two "generals," Pesche and Dondochakka. The extremely unfavorable situation and the two comedic teammates who were holding him back, Uryū Ishida wanted to play "Twenty Questions" with fate.

Rukia was not much better. After defeating Aaroniero, her physical strength and Reiatsu had been consumed. Then, a more sinister Arrancar appeared again.

Séptima Espada Zommari Rureaux was not a fake like Aaroniero. This guy's transformation to Arrancar was the fastest, and he also had a strange cursed eye ability. He could stare at the enemy with his strange eyes and control them. If he stared at the brain, he could control the enemy's entire body.

All the parts that were stared at would be marked with strange patterns. Facing such an enemy with control, output, and speed, Rukia had no chance of winning and fell into a difficult battle.

Fortunately, she had experienced special training from Uehara Shiroha and was used to unfavorable situations. It must be said that anyone who had been specially trained by Uehara Shiroha, apart from anything else, had the ability to withstand pressure.

Therefore, even if she was at an absolute disadvantage, Rukia could still make the most reasonable and quickest decisions. It was just that the gap in strength could not be offset, and it was only a matter of time before she lost.

The sinister Zommari was not in a hurry to kill. He wanted to play the long game and catch the big fish. In his opinion, killing Rukia was nothing. Only by killing a strong man like Ichigo Kurosaki could he be considered loyal to Aizen.

And now Ichigo Kurosaki didn't need Zommari to take action; he was almost dying. Because he met the Cuarto Espada Ulquiorra, the Arrancar he had encountered in the human world.

After undergoing Hollow training, Ichigo thought he had shortened the distance between himself and the Espada. However, he did not have much hostility towards Ulquiorra. He came to Hueco Mundo just to rescue his companions, and before, Ulquiorra did not kill his friends.

The main reason was that the absolute calmness of the other party without a trace of murderous intent was too confusing. Therefore, he wanted to bypass the other party and move on.

After listening to what Ichigo Kurosaki said, Ulquiorra made a judgment in his heart: "This Shinigami has not made any progress not only in strength, but also in character. At this time, he is still so naive. The potential that Lord Aizen has high hopes for is only at this level. It is a bit disappointing!"

Thinking of this, he said calmly, "If it was me who brought Orihime Inoue to Hueco Mundo, would you still remain indifferent?"

Upon hearing this, Ichigo became angry, turned around and slashed at Ulquiorra, shouting, "Inoue didn't come to Hueco Mundo of her own accord. She's not a traitor. Do you know how much trouble this will cause her?"

According to the investigation of the Gotei 13, Orihime Inoue took the initiative to leave the human world and go to Hueco Mundo. No one forced her during the process. Ichigo strongly disagreed with the judgment of the Gotei 13. He absolutely did not believe that Orihime Inoue would betray them and take the initiative to join Aizen.

It's just that before, he had no evidence.

"You have wavered and doubted before, right?" Ulquiorra easily blocked the attack of Shikai Zangetsu with his arm and said calmly, "In the final analysis, it is because you lack trust in each other. She doesn't believe in your power. Otherwise, she wouldn't have made such a choice."

"You..." Ichigo Kurosaki was furious after his mind was "critically hit." He first used Shunpo to distance himself and activated his Bankai, then slashed forward with a fierce blow.

The extremely powerful Reiatsu gathered on the black blade, and finally formed a powerful slash like a flash. Facing the powerful red and black slash, Ulquiorra put one hand in his pocket and raised the other hand in a defensive posture.

There was no fluctuation in his emerald pupils, and he obviously did not take Ichigo Kurosaki's attack seriously. As soon as he came into contact with this Reiatsu, he frowned and thought to himself:

"The force is a little stronger than I thought. Is it Bankai? Strange slash, strange Reiatsu, even a bit like our Cero. Is it the unique ability of Zanpakutō? This Reiatsu is just like ours..."

As he was thinking, he saw the Hollow Mask covering Ichigo Kurosaki's face. He was slightly shocked.

But even so, Ulquiorra still blocked Ichigo Kurosaki's slash without any injury. It was just that because the impact was too strong, his body was forced to fly backwards, breaking several stone pillars. But that was all. Soon, Ulquiorra stabilized his body, stepped on a stone pillar, and flew back to the ground again.

"Getsuga Tenshō!" Ichigo Kurosaki, who was in the Hollow state, slashed out a black Getsuga Tenshō at Ulquiorra and said confidently, "It's over!"

The black Getsuga Tenshō in the Hollow state of Bankai had amazing power. In fact, this move was the ultimate move of his inner Hollow. Although Ichigo Kurosaki could not recognize the Hollow's style of behavior, he was very sure of the opponent's strength. Therefore, he was very confident about this move.

Just like before, Ulquiorra still raised his arm confidently and blocked the powerful slash like a black dragon with one hand. But this time the slash was much stronger than he expected. He immediately switched to defending with both hands, but was still knocked back.

Ichigo Kurosaki breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. The opponent's strength was unfathomable, which made him feel a lot of pressure. The key was that he couldn't maintain the Hollow form for a long time. So the battle had to be quick and decisive.

Ichigo Kurosaki had many doubts and concerns about the power of the Hollow in his body. Therefore, he couldn't fight with all his strength, and he even felt restrained and powerless when fighting.
