Chapter 624 - 624 Overwhelming Suppression

On the battlefield of Toshiro and Aizen.

Crack, crack, crack...

Before the clash of Reiatsu and momentum between Toshiro and Aizen could be decided, the cracks in the void grew more and more numerous. Even the barrier enveloping the entire replica of Karakura Town showed signs of collapsing.

'At this rate... I'm afraid the barrier won't hold until a victor is decided...'

Toshiro sighed helplessly in his heart and was the first to withdraw his Reiatsu, no longer contending with Aizen.

Seeing this, Aizen did not continue to press the matter either and also withdrew his Reiatsu. Through the earlier probing, Aizen already had a good idea and knew that even in his strongest area, he could not overwhelm Toshiro.

'Since I can't overwhelm Aizen with Reiatsu and momentum... I'll just have to defeat him in a direct head-on fight!' Toshiro thought to himself.

Then Toshiro shouted, used Shunkuho, and charged at Aizen with both hands on his sword.

"Ice Dragon Flash!"

Toshiro compressed and gathered his immensely powerful Reiatsu into his Zanpakuto. The blade instantly shone brightly, but Toshiro held the power of Ice Dragon Flash, ready to strike, and slashed at Aizen.

On the other side, Aizen also rarely held his sword with both hands, his expression grave, and swung to meet Toshiro's attack.

Clang!

Their Zanpakuto collided and then deadlocked. But the ice-cold power contained in Toshiro's Hyorinmaru spread along the clashing blades towards Aizen's Zanpakuto.

Sensing this, Aizen quickly withdrew, no longer contesting with Toshiro.

Whoosh!

Seeing Aizen retreat, Toshiro swung his Zanpakuto. The power of Ice Dragon Flash contained within the blade was released as a blue sword light that flew towards Aizen.

"Danku!"

A transparent, glass-like shield instantly appeared before the retreating Aizen.

Boom!

Toshiro's Ice Dragon Flash struck Aizen's transparent shield, causing a huge boom. The two forces then deadlocked.

Crack, crack, crack...

After a while, Toshiro's Ice Dragon Flash gradually froze and cracked Aizen's transparent shield.

Bang!!!

Aizen's transparent shield finally couldn't withstand the freezing power and shattered with a bang. But Toshiro's Ice Dragon Flash had also exhausted its power and disappeared. Aizen had also retreated to a safe distance.

Hum—!

Aizen's Zanpakuto blade vibrated, directly shattering the ice layer that had frozen onto it during the clash with Toshiro.

But before Aizen could catch his breath, Toshiro shouted again and charged forward.

This time, however, Aizen did not block directly. He pushed off lightly, his figure darting into the air, avoiding Toshiro's attack.

But a blue light flashed on Toshiro's back, and a pair of huge ice-frost wings appeared. Then, with a flap of his wings, he relentlessly pursued Aizen into the air.

For the current Toshiro, he could control the ice wings at will. When he needed them, with a thought, the huge ice-frost wings would appear. When he didn't need them, the ice wings would disappear with his will.

Once in the air, Toshiro was even more in his element, with unparalleled speed. Aizen could not dodge and had to swing his sword to block.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

For a moment, sword light filled the sky, sparks flew, and the sound of metal clashing was endless.

Finally, Toshiro shouted again and with a full-powered slash repelled Aizen.

"Ryusenka!"

Toshiro stomped hard on the void, fully executing Shunkuho. At the same time, the huge ice-frost wings on his back flapped violently. His figure flashed like lightning, disappearing from Aizen's sight.

The unparalleled speed of Shunkuho, combined with the enhancement of the ice-frost wings, further increased Toshiro's already unmatched speed. By the time Aizen reacted, Toshiro had already closed in and thrust his sword.

Whoosh!

The two figures passed each other. Toshiro stood proudly, while Aizen behind him was frozen in a cross-shaped block of ice.

But obviously, Aizen would not be defeated so easily.

Crack, crack, crack...

No sooner had Aizen been frozen than cracks appeared on the cross-shaped ice block, as if he was about to break free.

Whoosh!

Toshiro's figure flashed, appearing diagonally above the cross-shaped ice block, and slashed down with the force of thunder, as if to split both Aizen and the ice in two.

Boom!

Before Toshiro's blade could fall, the cross-shaped ice block exploded, and Aizen's figure reappeared.

But no sooner had Aizen broken free than he saw Toshiro's blade slashing diagonally down, about to reach his neck.

At this critical moment, Aizen had no time to dodge. He could only instinctively lean his body back, avoiding being decapitated by Toshiro.

Stab!

Blood bloomed, blood rain fell. A huge wound appeared on Aizen's body, from his left shoulder to his right waist, deep enough to see bone. Moreover, under the erosion of the ice-cold power, even though the Hogyoku was instinctively protecting its master, the wound could not completely heal for a while.

Severely injured and unsteady, Aizen fell straight towards the ground below.

"Sennen Hyoro!"

Aizen's body was still falling rapidly when Toshiro's voice sounded in his ears like the whisper of death.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

One after another, towering ice pillars rose from the ground, nearly piercing the heavens, surrounding the still-falling Aizen.

Then, with a thought from Toshiro, the towering ice pillars suddenly closed in, forming a huge, magnificent ice crystal prison, directly freezing Aizen inside.

And Aizen, less than two meters tall, was like a tiny insect trapped within the crystal clear amber of the [Sennen Hyoro], which was dozens of meters in diameter and hundreds of meters high.

Sennen Hyoro was one of Toshiro's few extremely powerful techniques. Executed with Toshiro's current strength, even Aizen could not break free immediately, unlike earlier.

But even so, Toshiro did not relax at all, as if afraid Aizen might break free again, and continued to execute techniques.

"Ninety-Nine Dragon Dance!"

Toshiro shouted. The chilling white mist, centered on his Zanpakuto, instantly swept in all directions, freezing the abundant water vapor in the air.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The ninety-nine ice-frost dragons, each dozens of meters long, emitted roars. Then, under Toshiro's control, they charged from the sky and ground, up, down, left, right, east, south, west, north, towards the Sennen Hyoro that imprisoned Aizen.

However, the ninety-nine ice-frost dragons did not directly attack the Sennen Hyoro. Instead, like birds returning to their nests, they flew to the towering ice pillar formed by the Sennen Hyoro, coiled their huge bodies around it, like divine dragons on a dragon-coiled pillar.

The towering ice pillar, dozens of meters in diameter and hundreds of meters high, with ninety-nine ice-frost dragons coiled and entwined around it… this magnificent and majestic sight was like the seals in ancient myths and legends, suppressing Aizen within.
