As her words fell, several white beams of light instantly shot down from above.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Those were feathers, but like explosive arrows, they created whistling sounds as they cut through the air.
Shigure glanced up slightly without making any unnecessary movements, continuing forward.
Just as the feathers were about to touch Shigure, at a position about ten centimeters away from him, they were immediately deflected by an invisible force.
Bang!
All the feathers changed direction, striking the surrounding walls and floor.
"Huh?!"
A surprised cry came from atop the stone pillar.
Then, spiritual pressure rapidly descended as she leaped directly down from the pillar, landing on the ground and blocking Shigure's path.
She stood straight, squinting as she looked over, saying in a low voice:
"To directly deflect my Cirucci's feathers... what kind of technique was that... Soul Reaper?"
Clearly, she couldn't understand that strange phenomenon.
Hearing this, Shigure remained expressionless, continuing to walk forward.
Cirucci Sanderwicci's face immediately grew darker as she raised the braid in her hand.
"What kind of look is that...?!"
"It seems I must show you my power..."
"Tear him apart... Golondrina!"
As her words fell, Cirucci's spiritual pressure began surging, and the wings on her back started expanding instantly.
She knew that since her opponent had the ability to reach this place alone, plus that strange technique just now, he certainly wouldn't be weak.
So from the start, she decided to display her full power.
This was her Resurrección, an absolute all-around enhancement.
Her body began changing dramatically, and the whip blade in her hand started slowly disappearing.
But just then, something changed. A spiritual pressure countless times stronger than hers suddenly burst from Shigure's body.
Boom!
Massive oppressive force instantly descended upon her, directly interrupting her release!
"Wha... what?! This... this is...?!"
Cirucci tried to look up at Shigure, but found she simply couldn't!
Bang!
Under this immense pressure, her body was directly slammed to the ground. Even the simplest act of lifting her eyelids seemed to become the most difficult thing.
Her heartbeat began racing violently, yet felt extraordinarily heavy!
It seemed each beat might cause it to collapse entirely!
She wanted to gasp for relief, to cry for help, even... to beg this Soul Reaper for mercy.
But she could do nothing.
"Mmm... mm..."
Watching the figure continuously approaching her, she made meaningless sounds.
But from beginning to end, she could only see his feet and the hem of his haori, unable to look any higher.
In this moment, she began experiencing boundless fear and despair.
Cold sweat slid down her face, mixing with scalding tears, blurring all her senses.
Suddenly, she couldn't feel anything anymore.
Only emptiness remained.
Her Chain of Fate and Soul Sleep shattered directly under this pressure, marking her complete death.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry."
Shigure lowered his gaze slightly, speaking flatly as he stepped past her corpse without joy or sorrow, his pace unchanged.
Before Shigure's Annihilation Reiatsu, not everyone could maintain the integrity of their souls.
At least, three-digit Arrancar couldn't manage it.
After continuing to walk for a while, the closer he got to the front, the more Shigure could sense the chaotic spiritual pressure.
Simultaneously, through Resonance Vision, he could clearly see Las Noches' structure becoming increasingly complex.
This forced Shigure to slow his pace slightly to determine direction.
But just then, he suddenly saw a figure rapidly passing overhead.
The moment he saw him, Shigure's gaze moved.
Sky-blue short hair, remnants of tooth-like white bone mask on his cheek, a hollow hole in his abdomen...
With such obvious characteristics, Shigure naturally recognized him instantly.
The 6th Espada, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez.
The moment he saw him, Shigure's heart stirred, then he suddenly leaped upward, charging directly toward the ceiling above.
As he approached the ceiling, Shigure extended his hand and waved lightly.
Boom!
Spiritual pressure struck the ceiling, directly breaking through it.
Just then, Grimmjow, who had been running ahead, naturally noticed and instantly stopped, quickly turning to look over.
He saw dust swirling around the hole in the ground.
Within moments, a person wearing a white captain's haori leaped up from within.
Without any pause, he walked directly toward him.
The moment he saw him, Grimmjow first froze, then excitement suddenly surged in his eyes as he grinned.
His hands still tucked in his uniform pockets, he slightly raised his chin and smiled:
"Just got word about an intruder, so I came out to check... tsk tsk..."
"Didn't expect it to be you..."
"Looks like my luck is the best... Soul Reaper!"
Grimmjow's eyes flickered with high fighting spirit.
He clearly remembered when Aizen had shown them images of six Soul Reapers during the Espada meeting.
And among them, the one he especially emphasized was this person before him.
So Grimmjow naturally knew he must be the strongest of the group.
He had wanted to be the first to go out and fight then, but since Aizen had already made his decision, he couldn't disobey.
However, now that he had still come here, this meant—
"Hey, Soul Reaper... since you successfully made it here, does that mean those wastes like Nnoitra have already been killed?"
Grimmjow curved his lips, speaking with some disdain.
Shigure didn't answer, walking to about two zhang away from him before stopping, then raising his eyes to look over with a light smile:
"It's not that your luck is good, I just deliberately came up to find you..."
"Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez."
