Chapter 631

Listening to Hyōsube Ichibē's words, Aizen's face took on a solemn look—this was also the first time he had learned of the abilities of that group of old-timers from the Zero Division, Hyōsube Ichibē and the rest.

But for Aizen, this no longer mattered. Even if the Zero Division possessed an undying ability, that was only an undying concept on paper.

In battle, Hyōsube Ichibē and the others of the Zero Division could still have a chance of being cut down outright.

"So what? You've said that as long as someone remembers you, you won't die—but that 'undying' just means resurrection, right?"

"If that's the case, then I'll just kill you right here, and then kill every single person who knows your identity—won't that be the end of it?"

Although Aizen's body was now covered in wounds, Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto's body was likewise riddled with injuries.

If not for Hyōsube Ichibē, perhaps even if Aizen wanted to keep fighting Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto, Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto would no longer be able to hold on.

Looking at Aizen, Hyōsube Ichibē said nothing more—he too knew that continuing to talk with Aizen would serve no purpose.

Rather than that, it was better to have one last exhilarating battle; for him, that was still the more fitting choice.

Watching the figures of Hyōsube Ichibē and Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto, the people of Ishugar were also extremely anxious—they did not know whether Hyōsube Ichibē plus a heavily wounded Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto could hold Aizen back.

But they had no other choice. Aizen's constant transformations had already shocked them greatly, and combined with strength that slightly surpassed the strongest Shiniguchi, Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto—such an Aizen was simply not something they could deal with.

But now they could only rely on Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto and Hyōsube Ichibē. As for Natsu, he had not yet fully absorbed Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto's power.

Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto had long understood the thoughts of the people of Ishugar; faced with his gradually dwindling strength, Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto said nothing more.

Looking toward the place where the barrier concealing the people of Ishugar lay, Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto also shook his head.

"If it's like that, leave it to me, you little Yamamoto brat—you can't retire as head captain just yet!"

Looking at the heavily wounded Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto, Hyōsube Ichibē directly signaled him to head into the barrier and pass his power to Natsu as quickly as possible.

After all, only by doing so could they make the sealing of Aizen properly justified.

Watching Aizen and Hyōsube Ichibē face off, Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto ultimately picked up his Zanpakutō and did not head into the barrier.

"Say no more. Neither this old man nor Aizen can easily leave this battlefield, so I hope to stay and lend you a hand."

In truth, Hyōsube Ichibē's words had a serious flaw—if Aizen were not a puppet, he would have long since seen through their scheme. But there was nothing to be done; the harvest of emotion points was already sufficient. If Aizen were not made to exit the stage now, Lin Cheng himself did not know what mission could be used to legitimately defeat Aizen.

Looking at Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto's state, Hyōsube Ichibē said nothing more either. He picked up Ichimonji, and a fierce sword technique surged forth like an avalanche, attacking Aizen directly.

And Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto, too, drew out the last of his body's strength and struck at Aizen. Even without the power of Ryūjin Jakka, Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto's swordsmanship was still one of the foremost among Shiniguchi. So no matter what, what Aizen now faced were the two most top-tier Shiniguchi.

Watching the two men's movements, a faint inexplicable smile appeared on Aizen's face—in truth, Aizen still had a very large portion of his power unused.

For Aizen, it was already enough now. Showing any more overwhelming strength would serve no purpose; it was better to continue like this and wait for Natsu's arrival.

And within the barrier, Natsu's absorption of Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto's flames was nearing its end, and Natsu's appearance began to become wavering and indistinct.

At one moment flames on his body formed the shape of a fire dragon, at another his body carried an aura as cold as ice.

What remained was the endless power of Lei Ting; these three powers kept manifesting around Natsu, as if heralding Natsu's success.

And the people of Ishugar were watching Natsu tensely—both strongest fighters, Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto and Hyōsube Ichibē, had gone to battle Aizen.

Now the only one who could be called combat power was Natsu, who was about to complete her transformation. So no matter what, for the people of Ishugar, their only hope now was still Natsu—only Natsu's success was the symbol of hope for the people of Ishugar.

Otherwise, even if Aizen could be held back by Genryūsai's burden Yamamoto and Hyōsube Ichibē, that was not a solution.
