Chapter 498
Kaien Shiba and the others' expressions changed. They raised their Zanpakuto and stood back to back. The sudden appearance of so many Hollows was alarming, even for the vice-captain, as he sensed the danger emanating from the four Hollows' spiritual pressure.
"Adjuchas?" Kaien Shiba asked.
Miako Shiba's expression changed as well. She recalled the Hollow she had encountered fifty years ago, which was also of the Adjuchas level. That Hollow had almost wiped out her and her four teammates. If Chen Fan hadn't arrived in time, she would definitely be dead by now.
Over the years, both she and Kaien Shiba's spiritual pressure have increased. If they were in good condition, it would be fine, but now they have experienced too many battles, and their bodies are somewhat injured, resulting in a significant depletion of their spiritual pressure.
"No, no, no! That's not the whole story. We are Arrancar!" One of them had already taken on a human-like form, and in many ways resembled a human. They were just scraps created by Aizen over the years using the incomplete Hogyoku, but their strength should not be underestimated. Arrancar- level Adjuchas possessed strength quite close to that of Captain-level, and the top Adjuchas were even slightly stronger than Captains.
"Arrancar?" Kaien Shiba's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he didn't know what the Hollow meant, judging from its arrogant demeanor, it seemed to think that Adjuchas wasn't its full strength, and that the Arrancar were its true power, making it stronger than Adjuchas. Damn it, his spiritual pressure was already insufficient.
"Shinigami?! I've been in Hueco Mundo for so many years and I've never tasted the flavor of Shinigami before!" The Arrancar stuck out his tongue and licked it, looking at Kaien Shiba and the others with cruel and bloodthirsty eyes;
"Charge!" With an Arrancar, the Menos behind the Arrancar and several others charged towards Kaien Shiba and his companions.
"Let the Water Sky Reversal, Nirege!"
"Narcissus Slash!" Kaien Shiba shouted, unleashing a water blade that sliced one of the Menos half.
"Sigh...! Not bad, this Shinigami!" the Arrancar remarked.
"You'll find out soon enough!" With that, she charged towards the Arrancar, but behind her came Miako Shiba's scream.
Kaien Shiba turned around and saw Miako Shiba being knocked to the ground by a Menos, and immediately prepared to go and rescue her;
"Do you still have the leisure to look at others?" The voice of the Arrancar rang out behind Kaien Shiba, and the sound of weapons being swung filled his ears. He quickly turned around and used his Zanpakuto to block it.
A large axe struck his Zanpakuto, the powerful force causing Kaien Shiba's body to sink slightly.
Miako Shiba was grabbed by the tentacles of a Menos and shoved into its mouth, seemingly about to be devoured.
"Damn it! Stop!" Kaien Shiba shouted, trying to rush over, but was blocked by the other three Arrancar. If they hadn't Isshin waiting for the rescue team, they wouldn't have wasted so much time here. These Arrancar arrived just in time, when their spiritual pressure was completely exhausted. Now, watching his wife being eaten by a Hollow, he was helpless and extremely unwilling.

(Chapter 74 Spiritual Pressure)
Just as Miako was about to be eaten, "Sizzle...! Boom...!" A bolt of blue-white lightning ripped a hole in the Menos Hollow's body, causing it to slowly dissipate. As Miako fell, a Miako. All the Hollows were startled and cautiously watched the newcomer.
"Who is it?" the Arrancar man asked.
Before Chen Fan could speak, the other Shinigami shouted excitedly, "Captain Chen Fan!"
Everyone gathered behind Chen Fan. Chen Fan put Miako Shiba down, and Kaien Shiba smiled when she saw Chen Fan appear.
He said to Chen Fan, "I owe you a favor again!"
"Do you still want me to say I owe you a favor? Your scheme finally succeeded! You're the one who drugged Kukaku, aren't you!" Chen Fan said to Kaien Shiba. There was no way he could get that drug from Rukongai; Kaien Shiba probably got it from the Technical Development Bureau.
Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, Kaien Shiba scratched his cheek, looked to the side, and said, "Well... who knows?"
"It must be you, right! Otherwise, Kukaku wouldn't have been prepared so early!" Chen Fan said;
"What are you talking about?" Miako Shiba asked.
"N-nothing... it's nothing," Kaien Shiba quickly waved his hand, thinking it best not to mention it.
"Whoosh...!" A sharp white thorn pierced through the middle of the three people, and they all turned their gazes in that direction;
