Ye Yang vs. Nnoitra

Ye Yang turned to look at Nnoitra, a smile playing on his lips. "Really? I should thank you then."

"Thank me?" Now it was Nnoitra's turn to be puzzled. Ye Yang explained, "If you hadn't come here, if you hadn't used Cero to stimulate Nel would still be quite a distance from recovering to this state."

Nnoitra's face darkened. "Death, you really dare to say that! But you're lucky now, because you can live a little longer. I'll kill her first, then I'll deal with you!" Nnoitra said, pointing at Nel.

Nel's eyes also flashed with anger. "Ye Yang, you should rest for a bit. Nnoitra's opponent is me, and I'll end this soon."

Nel stood up and drew her Zanpakuto, but she sheathed it again the next moment, as Ye Yang gently pressed his hand on the hilt of Nel's Nel, slowly Zanpakuto back into place.

"You've just recovered, and your power isn't stable yet. Besides, he only suffered minor injuries from one of your Cero Doble. Even if you defeat him, it will take you quite a while. If you unleash your Zanpakuto while your power is still unstable, you might revert to your childlike form. So, let me handle this. Trust me."

Ye Yang's voice wasn't loud, but it possessed a strange charm, and what he said made sense. Ye Yang Nel and said, "Okay, be careful."

But at that moment, Nnoitra Nel. "I don't want to hear your nonsense! Who I want to kill is none of your business! Come on, Nelliel, this time I will defeat you with my own hands!"

Ye Yang blocked his attack with his Zanpakuto, and then Nel beside Ichigo, giving the two of them enough space. Nnoitra still wanted to pursue Nel, but how could Ye Yang let him have his way? He launched a fierce attack on Nnoitra, leaving him no time to attack Nel.

Nel walked over to Ichigo and Orihime with a gentle smile. Orihime then began to Ichigo Ichigo's wounds. After his battle with Grimmjow, his body was almost covered in injuries, and even more brutal battles awaited him. How could he not heal quickly?

The two were locked in fierce combat when suddenly Nnoitra revealed an opening. Ye Yang, naturally, wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass, and slashed down with his sword. However, Ye Yang's Zanpakuto only lightly grazed Nnoitra's skin, without causing any substantial wound. Just as Ye Yang was astonished, Ye Yang swung his massive weapon at him. Fortunately, Ye Yang hadn't used his full strength in this attack, leaving himself an escape route, and dodged the attack with a Shunpo.

Nnoitra chuckled and said, "That was just a warm-up. Besides, do you really think your attack can break through my Hierro? Let me tell you, my Hierro is the hardest of all the Espada. You can't possibly break through my defense!"

"Is that so?" Ye Yang suddenly appeared behind him, this was Ye Yang's Senka, the speed was astonishing. He directly pierced through Nnoitra's head with a single strike, the tip of the blade passing through the eyepatch of his left eye. No matter how amazing the defense, no one can survive a headshot!

But then he heard Nel's voice. "Watch out!" Ye Yang instinctively sensed danger, but at that moment the huge double crescent was already in front of him. Nnoitra seemed to have already seen Ye Yang being torn to pieces.

But the result disappointed him once again. What shattered before his eyes was not Ye Yang's body, but the Captain's Haori that Ye Yang was wearing. Ye Yang had already escaped his attack range.

Ye Yang stared intently at the spot on Nnoitra's head where it had been pierced and said, "What happened? It's impossible for someone to be alive after having their head pierced!"

"Of course, no one can survive with their head pierced, but what if you hadn't pierced my head?" Nnoitra retorted.

Ye Yang suddenly noticed a problem. After examining him closely for a while, Ye Yang finally realized what was wrong. As an Arrancar, there was no Hollow Hole or Arrancar part left on him. This was illogical. The only explanation was that he had covered it up.

Nnoitra gently pulled off his blindfold, and just as Ye Yang had guessed, the Hollow Hole symbolizing the Arrancar and the mask were in that place. This was why Ye Yang hadn't killed him; Ye Yang had only pierced through his Hollow Hole.

"You guessed right, your sword only passed right through my head, so if that's all you can do, you might as well die!" With that, Nnoitra brandished her weapon and continued fighting Ye Yang.

Ye Yang gently shook his head, "Actually, I didn't want it to be like this either. Since that's the case, let's break free from these constraints— Silver Rend!" Instantly, a flash of light appeared, and Ye Yang advanced instead of retreating, passing by Nnoitra at an extremely fast speed.

The next moment, Nnoitra stared in astonishment at her chest and said in disbelief, "How is this possible..." As blood splattered, Nnoitra clutched the deep wound on her chest and backed away.

He had clearly blocked Ye Yang's attack, but his attempt to parry with his weapon seemed completely ineffective; Ye Yang's Zanpakuto through his weapon and slashed a wound in his chest.

But the next moment he learned the reason. His weapon broke off where Ye Yang's Zanpakuto had pierced through, and the cut was very clean. Ye Yang's Silver Rend could even cut through space, let alone Nnoitra's weapon and Hierro. So far, the only thing Silver Rend could not cut through was the Hōgyoku.

"What's wrong? Are you surprised? There's no defense in this world that Silver Rend can't break through!" Ye Yang gently flicked Silver Rend, and then the Silver Rend brought out wisps of spatial fluctuations wherever it passed, as if this space was about to be cut off.

Nnoitra laughed in fury, "So you're happy that you broke through my defenses? Hahaha, in that case, let me show you the Espada's sword release! Pray— Santa Teresa!"

Suddenly, a golden beam of Spiritual Pressure erupted from his body, even stronger than when Grimmjow had unleashed his Spiritual Pressure!

However, Ye Yang was not afraid at all. After the liberation, it was discovered that he had two more arms, each holding a weapon. Ye Yang asked in confusion, "Four arms? Shouldn't it be six? At this point, there's no need to hide anything, is there?"

This time it was Nnoitra's turn to be surprised. "How did you know there were six?"

"You yourself said that your release phrase is 'Santa Teresa,' which means your true form is a mantis. Mantises should have six legs, right? So you've exposed yourself."

Nnoitra that Ye Yang had already guessed, Neutra simply stopped hiding it. Two more arms grew from his back, each holding a huge scythe. Originally, these two arms were meant for sneak attacks, but since Ye Yang already knew, there was no need for such attacks.

Nnoitra lunged forward, his six arms making him incredibly fast, but none of that mattered against Ye Yang. His weapon would be severed in a single exchange. When facing an opponent who only attacked with direct force, Silver Rend's domineering nature was on full display!

Ye Yang's Zanpakuto slashed upwards, instantly severing Nnoitra's arm. Ye Yang chuckled, "Tch, I thought you'd have some skills after your release? Nothing special."

Nnoitra's face was grim. He spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground. "Such a sharp blade, but I am the strongest!" As he spoke, the wound on his severed arm writhed, and then a new arm grew out.

"High-Speed Regeneration?" Ye Yang wasn't surprised. After all, his prototype was a mantis, so the ability to High-Speed Regeneration wasn't unusual. Besides, High-Speed Regeneration also had its limits. Speaking of High-Speed Regeneration, Ulquiorra's High-Speed Regeneration was much stronger than his.

"You can't cut off any one of my arms, but you will be chopped to pieces by my six arms!" Nnoitra once again swung his six arms and charged into battle.

"Is that so? But you won't have that chance, because you'll die here in the next move. I advise you to use your strongest move next time! You don't want to die with your eyes open, do you?" Ye Yang said softly, his words filled with confidence, as if Nnoitra was already a dead man.

Ye Yang pointed his sword at the sky with one hand, and all the Reishi around him were converging towards him. Gradually, a sword made of Reishi formed above Ye Yang, carrying an oppressive Spiritual Pressure. Nnoitra's expression finally became serious, because he sensed a dangerous aura from it, and a threat of death!

Then the enormous Reishi sword began to shrink, eventually shrinking from a hundred feet in size to less than a foot. However, at this point, the Reishi's power was even more terrifying, as if it could tear space apart with the slightest movement.

Nnoitra knew how dangerous it was, and he sensed that the sword had locked onto him. Escape would only mean death, and his pride told him that he absolutely could not back down!

He stretched out his six arms in front of him, the six hands overlapping in different directions, leaving a gap in the middle. Cero began to condense there. This Cero was different from the previous Cero. Although it was also a golden Cero, the energy it contained was vastly different. The two were not even in the same league.

At this moment, Ye Yang shouted, "Go, Sky-Rending Sword!" The silver light sword fell, and the space collapsed where the sword passed, determined to kill all the enemies in front of it.

Nnoitra's Cero was fully formed, and with a roar, it shot out, quickly colliding with the Cero Sky-Rending Sword, resulting in a violent explosion!

The Sky-Rending Sword is invincible, its sharpness capable of cutting through anything. The Cero, formed from almost all of Nnoitra's Spiritual Pressure, also possesses considerable power. When two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured. Who will ultimately prevail?
