Chapter 566

Ban truly was like an undying body, no matter how much fresh blood flowed from his wounds.

No matter how many wounds appeared on his chest or abdomen, they could all return to their original state in the blink of an eye.

"It's fine, Ban has drunk the Spring of Life from the Fairy Forest."

"In this world, no attack of any kind can take his life."

"Not even suicide could manage it."

The gold floating in the air shook its head, a hint of tension appearing in its expression.

Even though everyone knew Ban wouldn't die, that volume of blood, those terrifying wounds—

Anyone who saw it would feel their heart tighten, and even find themselves unable to stop worrying about him.

"Gin, stop playing around, it's about time we left."

Aizen Sosuke sensed something seemed off, his brow furrowing slightly.

He immediately opened his mouth to stop Gin, having just patted Gin's shoulder and prepared to leave.

"Alright, Aizen-taisho..."

Gin Ichimaru smiled faintly, a cold glint flashing through his eyes, and the Zanpakuto gripped in his right hand was hidden beneath his cloak.

But the sound of a blade being sheathed was not heard; instead, a streak of Bai Guang that pierced the heavens flashed past in an instant.

Aizen Sosuke's lower back was pierced straight through by that very streak of Bai Guang.

Everyone's expression began to turn to surprise and confusion.

No one knew why the Gin Ichimaru before them would suddenly attack Aizen Sosuke.

And it was so sudden, giving no one the slightest bit of preparation.

"Bankai: Shinso!"

"Mu-tai Ren-ren!"

Gin Ichimaru's eyes opened fully, and within those snake-like pupils, a trace of hatred began to surface.

Within that hateful gaze, there was even more of a sense of release.

"Bastard! Gin! Do you know what you're doing?"

Tosen Kaname nearby, though blind and unable to see, could still clearly sense what had happened from the spiritual pressure of the two.

He drew the Zanpakuto at his waist and was about to charge at Gin Ichimaru.

But Gin Ichimaru, who had prepared in advance, had already vanished in an instant the moment Shunpo activated.

All that Tosen Kaname's blade pierced was Gin Ichimaru's white coat.

"Why... how did you know..."

Aizen Sosuke looked at Gin Ichimaru with a hint of surprise in his expression.

Aizen Sosuke, who had always been calm and composed, as if he controlled everything in the world—

For the first time, he felt a sense of helplessness. Every time he recruited a subordinate, he would use Kyoka Suigetsu to plant a suggestion in them.

And to remove that suggestion, one had to find the flaw in his Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu.

But this flaw and weakness, he had never told anyone, nor explained it to anyone else.

"I was merely guessing, after all Aizen-taisho never explained the specific ability of Kyoka Suigetsu to me."

"And the most important point is, I knew about the psychological suggestion you planted in me beforehand."

"My approaching you was nothing more than for the sake of revenge."

The corner of Gin Ichimaru's mouth lifted slightly, his expression growing extremely arrogant, his slightly raised head paired with those slightly opened eyes.

It made Aizen Sosuke's face turn pale.

Countless waves of pain began to spread from the wound across his abdomen.

"Right, the ability of Shinso isn't just about making speed faster."

"I know ordinary injuries absolutely cannot kill Aizen-taisho, so the Bankai of Shinso leaves a poison within the blade sufficient to destroy every single one of your cells."

"I think, in that case, even Aizen-taisho might not necessarily be able to resist it."

Gin Ichimaru let out a soft sigh, his palm lightly resting against his forehead.

This feeling of revenge caused the sensation in his heart to instantly rise to another level.

"Aizen-taisho!"

"Damned bastard!"

Tosen Kaname supported Aizen Sosuke, his expression already turning somewhat ferocious.

Toward Aizen Sosuke, he was absolutely a man of unwavering loyalty, without a single second thought.

He would probably even be willing to die for Aizen Sosuke.

At this moment, upon sensing that Aizen Sosuke's spiritual pressure had become wavering and unstable—

His figure instantly shot forward, charging at Gin Ichimaru.
