"An execution drill?"
Aizen turned to look around. Almost at the same moment Soi Fon drew and released her Zanpakuto, black-clad, masked figures suddenly appeared all around them.
Some stood atop Sōkyoku Hill, some on the chains of the suspension bridge, and others on the surrounding buildings... The densely packed Punishment Force surrounded Aizen.
Looking at Aizen standing among the Punishment Force, Soi Fon did not relax.
Although Aizen's slash just now had been brief, Soi Fon could feel that without Lady Yoruichi, she would very likely have been cut in half by that strike!
Moreover, as a captain of the same era, she remembered clearly...
Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu was a water-type Zanpakuto. It could use the reflection of mist and flowing water to interfere with its enemies, causing them to slaughter one another.
In other words, it would be very difficult for the surrounding Punishment Force to injure Aizen.
However, her original purpose had never been to have the surrounding Punishment Force execute Aizen. She wanted to use them to force Aizen to reveal an opening, allowing her Suzumebachi to strike him twice in rapid succession!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Without waiting for Soi Fon's order, the surrounding Punishment Force launched their attacks on Aizen almost simultaneously.
Seeing this, Yoruichi reminded him without even turning her head, "You there, the boy from the Fourth Division. Heal Ichigo and Iwao while you still can."
"Huh?"
Hanatarou had been stunned by the successive upheavals. He blanked for a moment before remembering Ichigo Kurosaki and Iwao lying in pools of blood, then hurriedly crouched down to examine them.
When he saw the extent of their injuries, Hanatarou's expression changed.
Both of them were gravely injured. Iwao had suffered only one slash, but that single slash had nearly destroyed most of his spirit body.
