Chapter 196 194 I Really Like It, Xiuyi
Chapter 196 194. I really like it, Xiuyi
In the sea of blood, a white figure shuttled freely in it.
"Just as I thought, the sea of blood can't restrict Xiang Zhuan~"
With the advantage of speed, the previous situation immediately reversed, and it became that Higashino Xiuyi and Unohana Retsu kept the collision of swords and knives.
Although Unohana Retsu's Bankai ability can force all non-physical attack spiritual pressure to be transformed into nutrients for the sea of blood, the hollow Xiang Zhuan is not among them.
This footwork that uses spatial ability to teleport obviously exceeds the concept of the rules of the sea of blood.
However, Xiang Zhuan only allows Higashino Xiuyi to have a one-sided crushing of Unohana Retsu in terms of speed.
But in that purest kendo duel, it is obvious that Higashino Xiuyi still did not take any advantage.
In the past, it was not only Higashino Hideichi who absorbed and learned Unohana Retsu's swordsmanship, but Unohana Retsu also maintained a heart of learning and absorbed his excellent fighting skills from Higashino Hideichi.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to defeat Unohana Retsu, who is supported by an almost endless sea of blood, just by relying on swordsmanship.
Unless Higashino Hideichi has the talent of being more courageous with more setbacks like Kenpachi Zaraki, and can also be treated as a protagonist like Kenpachi Zaraki, he can get the selfless help of Unohana Retsu every time he is on the verge of death.
In that way, while he is being promoted, he can also consume the potential of the sea of blood. As long as the time is long enough, there will always be a moment to defeat Unohana Retsu, who is almost invincible in this sea of blood.
But Higashino Hideichi knew that he could not have that kind of treatment. In this all-out battle initiated by him, I am afraid that in Unohana Retsu's heart, he has already made psychological preparations for one of the two people to die.
For someone like Unohana Retsu, death is never something to be feared. As long as she can die in a battle she enjoys, she will feel happy.
But Higashino Hideichi is not like that.
So, he must win.
He also has to put an end to this battle between him and Unohana Retsu, which has lasted for who knows how many years.
Blood blades fell from the sky. Higashino Hideichi moved his body to the side and avoided Unohana Retsu's attack, but the splashing blood beads also turned into sharp blades at this moment and hit Higashino Hideichi's skeleton armor, leaving traces on it one after another.
Accumulated, until the water drips through the stone!
Looking down at the bloody hole on his arm, Higashino Hideichi smiled and said, "Even though all special abilities have been banned, you are cheating by playing this way, right?"
In the distance, Unohana Retsu, holding a blood blade in one hand, looked at Higashino Hideichi with the only pair of eyes exposed in the hair. Under the sharp eyes, there was a very gentle tone,
"No, Hideichi, this move is called Whale Fall, which is also a branch of the Ten Thousand Swords~"
Yes, yes, after all, you are the only one who has seen the Ten Thousand Swords, right?
What to say, it all depends on your words?
Higashino Hideichi looked at Unohana Retsu in the distance helplessly, thinking in his heart with a little helplessness.
Why does he feel that Unohana Retsu has become much worse than in the original plot?
In the original plot, when Unohana Retsu was fighting against Kenpachi Zaraki, he used the purest kendo, and the two of them fought hand-to-hand, but why did he use all kinds of tricks?
(Unohana Retsu: What kind of fool is Kenpachi Zaraki? What else can he do besides slashing people by instinct? And look at what dirty things you can do with Higashino Hideichi? Can you two really compete with each other?)
However, facing such a progressive Unohana Retsu, it may not be a bad thing. At least, if Higashino Hideichi doesn't play tricks with Unohana Retsu in the future and doesn't compete with Unohana Retsu in kendo, he won't have any psychological burden in his heart.
After all, if it really comes to playing tricks, Higashino Hideichi can only hum at Unohana Retsu twice, you are still far behind!
"So, Captain, have you ever seen the Hollow's Return Blade?"
Higashino Hideichi said to Unohana Retsu, while holding the Zanpakutō in front of him. In the latter's eyes that didn't take it seriously at all, he sang in a low voice,
"Nowhere to hide, the evil sentence is determined!"
While Higashino Hideichi was singing, Unohana Retsu's new attack had already arrived in front of Higashino Hideichi. The bright red blood blade wanted to cut Higashino Hideichi's throat, but just before it was about to touch Higashino Hideichi's body, the rules appeared.
"How is this possible?!"
This was the first time that Unohana Retsu felt shocked after fighting to this point after unfolding her Bankai.
Because no one knows her Bankai ability better than herself. Except for herself, no one can use power other than pure physical attack in the sea of blood, even if that power is the rules.
In the past, she had tested this with one of the two most proud disciples of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the current captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui.
Even a Zanpakutō power as strong as Kyoraku Shunsui could not be formed in her Bankai Jinjin.
Before this, Unohana Retsu had only seen one person who could break her blood sea rule, and that was Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni. However, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni also broke the blood sea by force with his spiritual pressure far exceeding his own.
But now, Higashino Hideichi's spiritual pressure strength has obviously not reached the level of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni. Unohana Retsu estimated that he was at most comparable to himself.
Logically speaking, Higashino Hideichi used the ringing rotation with the hollow transformation to forcibly create a speed advantage, which was enough to make Unohana Retsu feel surprised. As a result, she did not expect that Higashino Hideichi actually had a surprise.
"Nothing is impossible, Captain. The power of the god of death is a rule in itself.
You know, I read a literary work in the present world. One of the plots in it inspired me deeply. That is, what will happen if two conflicting rules collide with each other?
Normally, the strong rule will suppress the weak rule, but what if there is no difference between the two rules?"
Higashino Hideichi patiently explained to Unohana Retsu, who could not even condense the shape of his Zanpakutō because the sea of blood around him was dispersed.
"What will happen?"
The answer is obvious, but Unohana Retsu still said these words subconsciously.
"Of course, it will crash. The two rules will fall into a situation where neither of them can take effect at the same time because of the conflict."
Higashino Hideichi said with a smile.
This is the first big gift he prepared for Unohana Retsu.
And this idea was actually conceived as early as when Higashino Hideichi mastered his own ability to return to the blade.
Because of his ability to return to the blade, the crime law and the criminal tools required by the crime law are not mandatory, and must belong to him.
The fundamental reason why Higashino Hideichi used to prefer to use his own items as the main body is that if this tool is made by the enemy, if the enemy cancels this tool in advance or destroys it when all the conditions for Higashino Hideichi's Return to Blade ability are met, then his Return to Blade ability cannot be activated.
But now, Higashino Hideichi looked around. Is there any other criminal tool that can be more suitable as a carrier for the ability to be activated than the endless sea of blood around him?
When the conditions for Higashino Hideichi's Return to Blade ability are met, the mechanism of the sea of blood will be triggered at the same time. According to the rules of the sea of blood, all the special abilities activated by Higashino Hideichi, an outsider, will be swallowed by the sea of blood.
However, this conflicts with Higashino Hideichi's Return to Blade ability.
Because after Higashino Hideichi's Return to Blade is activated, the ownership of this sea of blood will temporarily belong to Higashino Hideichi, and he will launch a fatal attack preset by Higashino Hideichi towards Unohana Retsu.
The contradiction between these two forces is almost completely irreconcilable.
Originally, for the god of death, there is a very simple way to deal with this situation, that is, to compare the spiritual pressure of the two people. However, the embarrassment is that the spiritual pressure of Higashino Shuichi and Unohana Retsu is almost the same.
Therefore, when the two rules are deadlocked, the only result left is the downtime.
"Hehe. As expected of you, Shuichi, you can always bring me surprises~"
After listening to Higashino Shuichi's explanation, Unohana Retsu stood there and smiled.
If it weren't for the scary hair, Unohana Retsu at this moment would probably not be much different from the usual captain of the fourth team.
"Thank you, captain, now that the restrictions of the blood sea have been removed, our battle will have more tricks~"
Higashino Shuichi jumped high from the blood sea, used his spiritual pressure to hold his body in the air, and then lifted his own virtual state.
Because when the Return Blade ability and the restricted power of the blood sea were both down, it was meaningless for him to maintain the hollowness.
Of course, with the release of the Return Blade, the restricted power of the blood sea that was down would gradually recover.
However, it was enough for Higashino Hideichi to buy some time. Anyway, as long as the restricted power of the blood sea was fully restored, Higashino Hideichi would use the Return Blade again and start over.
Therefore, the next moment, Unohana Retsu saw a large number of white spirits appearing above his blood sea.
"Captain, feel the baptism of the ghost way!"
Higashino Hideichi's voice came from above.
At this moment, Unohana Retsu smiled again. She knew why Higashino Hideichi had deliberately taken off just now.
In the originally dim blood sea, for the first time in its long history of birth, "light" was ushered in.
It was the daytime produced by countless explosions.
The light was better than the sun!
Even Harribel and the others who were watching the battle outside the blood sea were shocked by this scene.
"Lord Harribel, is that the sun?"
Harribel's grandson was blinded by the dazzling light and asked Harribel beside him with some discomfort.
"No, grandson, that is..." Harribel paused for a moment, and suddenly thought of a sentence that Higashino Hideichi had said to her in the past, so she changed the two words that were about to come out to another word,
"Art!"
In the sea of blood, in the air, even Higashino Hideichi felt a little painful, because some things looked very shocking, but you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are if you don't manage the family.
The attack just now almost exhausted all his accumulation in the past ten years.
In other words, after this battle, Higashino Hideichi will start accumulating his own spirit sons from scratch.
However, the results are also remarkable.
The huge sea of blood under his feet, after this round of ghost washing, the color is visibly brighter.
There is no longer the gloomy depression before.
However, the blood sea is still there, which means
"Hahaha, Xiuyi, how many skills do you have left? Show them all!
You don't need to show any mercy to me!"
The light faded, and what came into view was Unohana Retsu who rushed to Higashino Xiuyi with a blood blade.
The blood sea is equivalent to a small hell for Unohana Retsu.
Unohana Retsu will not die until the blood sea is cleared!
Higashino Xiuyi took Unohana Retsu's attack with one sword.
The two people started a new round of confrontation in the air again.
Caressing, round moon, whale fall, moon splitting, blood slash, moon picking, cross cut
If you learn one of the countless ordinary death gods, you can be proud of the sword art for decades, and in the hands of the two people, it is like throwing beans.
The two people who know each other very well can't break each other's moves at all.
But, Higashino Xiuyi obviously won't let this situation last too long.
After finding another opportunity to launch the Return Blade and shut down the sea of blood again, Higashino Hideichi raised his Zanpakutō above his head.
"Can you use the same kind of Kido Washing just now again?"
Unohana Retsu said words of disbelief, but her feet did not stop at all. She jumped directly from the ground and rushed to Higashino Hideichi's position.
Having suffered a loss once, she would not allow herself to suffer a second loss in the same place.
This time, even if she could not stop the Kido Washing of that scale, she could not let Higashino Hideichi have an easy time.
However, Higashino Hideichi's mouth corners slightly raised. He could not do the same Kido Washing for the second time, but he could prepare a second gift.
Just when Unohana Retsu's fist was about to collide with Higashino Hideichi's Zanpakutō, a spirit bow arrow that was completely unexpected by Unohana Retsu almost brushed past her neck.
"Why, there is a Quincy here?!"
Unohana Retsu widened his eyes.
Because she looked along the trajectory of the arrow and found that there were several Quincy standing on the sea of blood.
The holy arrow just now came from one of the Quincy.
At this moment, several other Quincy were also drawing their bows and shooting arrows.
Even at such a long distance, Unohana Retsu could feel the murderous aura coming from it.
"Do you like it? Captain, this is the second gift I prepared for you~"
Higashino Hideichi stood proudly in the air, looking down at Unohana Retsu and said with a smile.
And Unohana Retsu did not disappoint Higashino Hideichi's "kindness".
With the help of the blood sea power that was gradually recovering, she re-condensed her blood blade, and did not look at the Quincy below, but looked up at Higashino Hideichi, licking her dry lips,
"I like it, I really like it, Hideichi~"
