Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 223: Steve

"So this is the effect of rapid regeneration?"

Amidst the dispersed smoke and dust, Aizen's calm voice slowly emerged. He walked out from the ruins, virtually unscathed due to his immense spiritual pressure.

"Even vital areas like the heart can regenerate," Aizen flicked off the ash on his body. "This is even more unique than Vasto Lorde-level Hollows."

"Is it polite to call someone unique upon first meeting?"

Fang Mo raised his hand and pointed forward, activating the long-unused Nine-Tails sword within him.

Tailed Beast chakra converged into a small sphere at his fingertip, then turned into a massive light cannon and fired.

"Bakud 81, Dank."

Aizen's voice came from within the smoke, followed by the sudden appearance of a semi-transparent barrier.

The Tailed Beast Cannon struck the barrier. The surging energy exploded instantly, indiscriminately destroying all surrounding buildings, including the Central 46 sleeping chambers, the court in front, and even blowing the entire palace's ceiling apart.

Of course, Aizen's Dank couldn't completely defend against the Tailed Beast Cannon, and shattered.

However, he himself had already used Flash Step to move away.

On the other side, Hitsugaya Toshiro also hastily conjured a massive ice shield to block the blast's aftermath for Hinamori Momo.

"That attack just now wasn't a Hollow Flash, was it?"

Aizen reappeared in front of Fang Mo, though now slightly disheveled, his captain's robe showing some wear and tear, and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Yet this didn't affect his composure. "Whether it's rapid regeneration or this Hollow Flash-like technique, neither has any Reiatsu fluctuations. This really makes me curious, what exactly are you?"

"To mock others with your words, is this your demeanor, Aizen Sosuke?"

Fang Mo calmly stared at Aizen, retorting.

"It seems I have been impolite," Aizen smiled and shook his head, then put his hand on his Zanpakuto. "Then... I'll start by cutting off your limbs for research."

After saying that, the opponent Flash Stepped toward him.

Seeing this, Fang Mo immediately launched a punch, and Aizen also instantly changed his attack, from a slash to a thrust.

The blade aimed straight for Fang Mo's fist, as if trying to pierce through his arm, but now Fang Mo had changed entirely. After activating the beacon energy within him, his physical abilities had been enhanced to an almost absurd level.

At this moment, he was as powerful as a deity.

Aizan's blade pierced through, but it only broke through the first layer of his skin.

Immediately after, Fang Mo forcefully resisted Aizen's Zanpakut with pure brute strength, completely shattering the opponent's attack, and then punched through the opponent's stomach.

But the very next second, the pierced Aizen suddenly turned into a captain's robe.

"Hm? An empty cicada?"

Fang Mo looked at the captain's robe in his hand. This seemed like the highest-level use of Shunpothe body escapes, leaving the clothes behind. The afterimage created by the high speed made the enemy think they hit the actual body.

"Had no Kyj, Kurohitsugi (Black Coffin)."

And just then, Aizen's voice came from behind Fang Mo.

Fang Mo turned his head and saw that Aizen had somehow produced a dark purple ball in his hand. The next second, a black cube appeared around Fang Mo, completely enveloping him.

However, before the Black Coffin could fully take effect,

Fang Mo directly inserted both hands forward and then forcefully tore it apart. His terrifying brute strength instantly shredded the opponent's Black Coffin.

""

Seeing this, Aizen couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression.

He knew that one could resist Had with spiritual pressure, but tearing apart Had with physical strength was way too outrageous. What's going on with this guy?

"You couldn't possibly think"

Fang Mo saw Aizen's expression and couldn't help but smile: "...that you could hurt me with a cubic object?"

"You seem quite confident in your own body."

Although Aizen didn't understand Fang Mo's statement, he soon showed a similar smile: "Your abilities are indeed troublesome. In terms of physical strength, I might not be your match, but if that's all you have... you are not enough to bother me."

With that, Aizen suddenly raised his Zanpakut, pointing the tip downwards, and said, "Shatter, Kyka Suigetsu."

However, just as Aizen was about to activate Shikai, Fang Mo closed his eyes.

"Hm?"

Aizen paused for a moment, but quickly reacted: "I see, so Urahara Kisuke and the others have already told you the secret of my Zanpakut. That's right, if you don't see the moment Kyka Suigetsu is released, you won't be controlled by the illusion, but"

"You've closed your eyes, how will you fight me?"

After saying these words, Aizen disappeared in an instant. The next second, Fang Mo felt a tremendous force at his neck.

Indeed, Aizen is a smart man. Although he spoke of cutting off limbs, the feedback from his blade in the brief encounter made him realize just how hard Fang Mo's skin was. Trying to cut off limbs would be nearly impossible, so he might as well focus all his strength on attacking the neck.

Fang Mo's physical strength was indeed astonishing, but to prevent himself from seeing Aizen's initial release of "Kyka Suigetsu," he deliberately closed his eyes. This provided Aizen with the perfect opportunity.

Aizen didn't even have to reserve some of his strength for a change in technique. He applied all his strength to his Zanpakut.

The power of this strike was indeed amazing.

Even though Fang Mo had activated the internal beacon to its limit, he still lost two hearts. Aizen's Zanpakut broke through the lower realm's energy shield and cut into Fang Mo's neck by about half an inch.

Frowning, Fang Mo immediately wanted to open his eyes. However, it seemed Aizen had anticipated this. He withdrew his Zanpakut and said, "Shatter, Kyka Suigetsu."

"..."

Fang Mo helplessly closed his eyes again.

As a result, Aizen swung his sword again the next second.

"How pitiful," Aizen said while chopping, not forgetting to sneer. "This life force that's disproportionate to your power may also be a form of pain for you."

Just as Aizen swung his sword for the third time, Fang Mo, although his eyes were still closed, accurately caught the blade of Kyka Suigetsu.

"Hmm?"

Even Aizen paused at this sight.

"When did you get the impression..." Fang Mo continued to speak calmly, his eyes still closed.

"That you could beat me just by having me close my eyes?"

After that, Fang Mo threw a punch directly forward.

Aizen quickly dodged it by tilting his head, but in the next second, Fang Mo suddenly moved closer and hit Aizen's chest with his elbow like a bolt of lightning. The strength of Fang Mo's attack was so great that even the ground of Central 46 felt a severe shock.

Even Hitsugaya Toshiro, who was guarding Hinamori Momo nearby, felt a sense of oppression in his chest, as if he was struck by a heavy hammer.

To be honest, he didn't even clearly see how the two were fighting.

These two monsters were too fast, leaving afterimages all over the place. It was like a battle of gods.

He could only hear their conversation.

But in the midst of their conversation, Aizen inexplicably grunted and then flew out like an arrow, shattering countless walls along the way.

As for Fang Mo, his eyes were still closed, standing in his attack posture.

"How... how did you manage to do that?"

Hitsugaya Toshiro looked a bit stunned at Fang Mo in front of him. He had just personally witnessed the true strength of Aizen, and if he were to fight, he would undoubtedly be killed instantly. One has to say that this guy had hidden himself really well.

But it's this powerful Aizen who was sent flying by the Ryoka with his eyes closed?

"What kind of expression is that?"

Although Fang Mo had his eyes closed, he still turned his head to look at Hitsugaya Toshiro and said calmly, "You've already experienced the gap between us, haven't you?"

"You..."

Hitsugaya Toshiro gritted his teeth; he was angry but he knew he could not defeat the person in front of him. "Are you really not with Aizen? What is going on with his Zanpakuto? Why are you fighting with your eyes closed?"

"As long as you see his Shikai, you will be forever controlled by his Zanpakuto's five senses. A perfect hypnosis," Fang Mo explained simply. "The Zanpakuto ability he introduced to you all before is fake, with the purpose only to let the Shinigami of Seireitei watch his Shikai."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Hitsugaya Toshiro was extremely shocked. It was a hundred years ago that Aizen had displayed his Shikai, and he hadn't expected that the other party had been planning this all along.

"Is that why you're fighting with your eyes closed?" Hitsugaya Toshiro couldn't help but ask. "But how can you still attack him with your eyes closed?"

"Fluctuations are my heart, my heart is my eye," Fang Mo said pretentiously. "When you observe your surroundings with your heart, you can see through everything."

"Huh?"

Hitsugaya Toshiro was puzzled after hearing this; what was all this nonsense? However, upon thinking about it, it seemed to make some sense. The captain of the 9th Division, Tosen Kaname, was blind, but that did not affect him being a captain.

So, did Fang Mo really learn to use his "heart eye" and master the power of fluctuation?

It's quite obvious he's bragging.

In reality, Fang Mo's real countermeasure was... letting Steve secretly drink an invisibility potion and then hide and watch the battle.

Fang Mo has two perspectives.

In addition to what he himself can see with his own eyes, there is also the view observed by his stand Steve.

For some reason, the Shinigami of Seireitei can see Steve, so Fang Mo had already secretly hidden Steve nearby before making his appearance.

He didn't originally intend to rely on a stand, but Aizen's move was too tricky. If you open your eyes, he unleashes his Zanpakuto; if you close them, he will simply cut you down. Since the opponent is exploiting bugs, Fang Mo felt there was no need to act like a gentleman anymore. Let's just cheat against each other.

As everyone knows, Steve has no spiritual pressure. After drinking the invisibility potion, even Aizen couldn't locate him. This is like turning on a wall-hack.

And so, there was the previous scene of their divine fight.
