Chapter Ninety-Six: The Betrayal of the Soul-Slaying Blade Takes Material Form (Seeking Flowers and Monthly Tickets)
Gin Ichimaru still had a smiling expression.
But when he looked at Tosen's Zanpakuto, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He also knew the owner of this Zanpakuto, named Kuchiki Kyoga, who was the son-in-law of the Kuchiki family and had served as the third seat of the sixth division of the Gotei 13.
In terms of background and relationship.
Kuchiki Byakuya still had to call the other party "uncle".
However, three hundred years ago, Kuchiki Kyouga was sealed away by Captain-Commander Yamamoto and Kuchiki Ginryu, the head of the Kuchiki family, for the serious crime of rebelling against Soul Society.
To this day, no one knows where he was sealed.
Moreover, according to intelligence, even if the opponent was not sealed, their strength was only at the level of an ordinary captain.
What's so special about a guy like that?
It's even more absurd to say that this is just a Soul-Slaying Blade.
While pondering, Gin Ichimaru smiled and said, "Captain Aizen, this is just a Zanpakuto. Do you really think it can talk back?"
Aizen Sousuke said calmly, "Gin, don't underestimate this Zanpakuto. It was quite terrifying in Soul Society back then, and almost brought irreparable destruction to Soul Society."
Gin Ichimaru frowned slightly, somewhat regretting that he hadn't investigated more thoroughly.
But you can't blame him for that.
Kuchiki Hibiki was, after all, a member of the Kuchiki family, and in order to cover up the scandal, the Kuchiki family deliberately buried all information about Kuchiki Hibiki.
There is no information about Kuchiki Kyouga in the entire Soul Society.
It is only recorded in the Great Spirit Book Corridor, but he only went there twice with Aizen Sousuke.
Seeing that the Zanpakuto did not respond, Aizen Sousuke was not surprised and smiled:
"Mr. Muramasa, don't you want to talk to me!?"
As he spoke, he tapped the table and said calmly, "What if I told you I could help you rescue your master, Kuchiki Hibiki?"
Upon hearing this, Gin Ichimaru, Kaname Tosen, and Szayelaporro all changed their expressions.
It wasn't because of Aizen Sousuke's words.
Instead, they sensed a strange spiritual pressure.
The three of them suddenly turned their heads to look at the distance not far away.
There, a figure appeared out of nowhere.
He was a very sinister-looking man, tall and thin, with pale skin, fluffy dark brown hair, and two strands of hair hanging across his nose.
He was wearing a long, white, robe-like coat.
The collar of the robe was covered with thick fur, and a purple scarf was fastened with a ruby brooch.
She wore a wide belt with a purple stripe around her waist, pointed boots, and purple handcuffs on her wrists.
The first impression he gives is that he is sinister and gloomy.
What made Gin Ichimaru and the others uneasy was that they were completely unaware of the other party's arrival.
It was as if the other party had appeared out of thin air.
Under the gazes of the group, the alluring man looked at Aizen Sousuke and said calmly:
"Aizen Sousuke, you said you could help me rescue my master, but as far as I know, you don't seem to know where my master is either, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Gin Ichimaru's pupils dilated in shock.
"This thing... is a Zanpakuto..."
He stared incredulously at the demon sword Muramasa.
Although Shinigami often say that Zanpakuto should be regarded as companions, that is only a form of respect; no one believes that Zanpakuto can take the initiative to fight.
The man before him was undoubtedly the Zanpakuto that stood before Aizen Sousuke.
He not only possessed physical form.
It even looks like it could be lethal.
What kind of Soul-Slaying Blade is this?
Aizen Sousuke was not surprised by the man's appearance and laughed, "You're right. I really don't know where your master was sealed away. After all, your master is a disgrace to the Kuchiki family. They would rather your master be completely sealed away until he dies."
"Then why did you invite me here?"
Muramasa's eyes turned cold: "Do you want me to kill you, a traitor to the Seireitei as well?"
"What did you say!?"
Kaname Tosen glared angrily at the "Soul-Slaying Blade" and drew his Kiyomori without hesitation:
"Mind your place. You're just a Zanpakuto without a master. What right do you have to disrespect Lord Aizen?"
Gintoki Ichimaru smiled and raised his Zanpakuto:
"This is truly rare; a materialized Zanpakuto."
Both of them were ready to make a move.
The former intended to teach the Zanpakuto a lesson, while the latter wanted to test the Zanpakuto.
In this regard.
Muramasa merely glanced at them indifferently.
next second.
The two men's expressions changed drastically the moment they swung their knives.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Blood suddenly appeared.
A bloody gash appeared on Tosen Kaname's shoulder.
Gin Ichimaru cut a gash on his arm.
Blood seeped out like water, staining half of their bodies red.
But the two of them paid no attention to any of that. They lowered their heads and looked at their Zanpakuto in disbelief.
Qingchong and Shenqiang.
Blood was clearly flowing down the blade.
What had just injured them was not the demon sword Muramasa, but their own Zanpakuto.
The demon sword Muramasa calmly said, "Ichimaru Gin, your Zanpakuto Shinsou is quite dissatisfied with you. It craves killing and bloodshed, no longer wants to suppress its desires, and wants to unleash a devastating strike."
As he spoke, he looked at Tousen Kaname again and said calmly:
"Your Soul-Slaying Blade is filled with sorrow for you. It used all its power to try to help you, but now you want to abandon it."
Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tosen were shocked.
The power of this Soul-Slaying Blade before them was so great that it could cause their own Soul-Slaying Blade to betray them.
You can even hear the inner voice of their Soul-Slaying Blades.
Aizen Sousuke explained with a smile, "Gin, Kaname, you two may not know, but Muramasa's power is very strong. Back in Seireitei, he was even hailed as the strongest Zanpakuto."
"There was once a Shinigami who fought Kuchiki Kyouga, but before the battle even began, he was severely injured by his own Zanpakuto."
"This is why, even though Kuchiki Kyouga is not yet a captain, it takes the Captain-Commander and Kuchiki Ginryu working together to seal him."
Upon hearing this, Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen no longer dared to underestimate this unowned Zanpakutō.
It can make the Soul-Slaying Blade betray its master.
What a terrifying ability that is.
Think about what it's like in battle.
The Grim Reaper's most trusted Zanpakuto suddenly slashed back.
The consequences would be absolutely catastrophic.
At this point, Aizen Sousuke suddenly became curious and asked, "Mr. Muramasa, I wonder what you heard was the inner voice of my Zanpakuto?"
When this question was raised, Muramasa frowned slightly and said:
"Your Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu, he asked me to tell you that he wants to materialize it to help you achieve your goal, to go to the Soul Society to buy you time to completely complete the Hogyoku..."
Aizen Sousuke chuckled, drew his Zanpakuto, and said with interest:
"Is this really what you think!?"
The Mirror Flower Water Moon trembled slightly, as if expressing its loyalty to Aizen Sousuke.
Aizen Sousuke shook his head: "Mr. Muramasa, this is not his true thought. He must have deceived you in some way."
Muramasa, however, remained unconvinced and said calmly, "Aizen, I'm not even interested in your Zanpakuto. You say you want to save my master, so what is your method?"
Aizen Sousuke smiled and casually took out a damaged Hogyoku:
"This is a broken Hogyoku. It can grant you the power of Hollows and greatly enhance your abilities, allowing you to completely turn a Shinigami's Zanpakuto against him."
"With your abilities, you could easily win over the Grim Reaper's Zanpakuto and thus obtain the location where Kuchiki Hibiki is sealed."
"That's why I'm here to collaborate with you."
Muramasa, the demon sword, glared at the Hogyoku with disgust and said, "Aizen, do you think I would accept such disgusting power!?"
No matter what, he is the Grim Reaper's sword.
