Chapter 179

The flow characteristics given by the clear spring not only greatly enhance the control ability of the lock, but also give it a powerful cutting effect:

If it were the Achucas from a few months ago, this move would be able to completely divide it into pieces of meat that would not stick back together!

If it weren't for the speed of Tsuna Yashiro Hoshi Phosphorus, Haruto could also use the "reformed" version of Chain Binding: given the thick characteristic opposite to the flow, the suppressing effect of Chain Binding can make the target feel like it is carrying a mountain on its back. It is difficult to move even an inch.

"Hey!!"

Tsunayoshi Hoshino had no time to swing her sword, and being able to block the shrinking water whip with her blade was already a sign of her quick reaction.

"Are you sure that the slash just now was based on your own strength?"

"!?"

The characteristics of the clear spring do not only give Haruto the flowing property.

In the process of the collision of two Zanpakutō, it can also be applied to Tsunayoshi Hoshito, giving her the illusion that she is getting faster and faster——

By this time, if there is a sudden increase in speed that exceeds the expected...

There are bound to be flaws in the posture of holding the knife.

What Haruto wants is this momentary gap!

"walk back and forth......"

However!

This flaw goes both ways unexpectedly.

While Haruto was preparing to join forces, the bright side of the blade suddenly burst out with dazzling light, instantly whipping the water that bound Tsunayoshi Hoshito into a spirit child state!

"!!"

"Buzz——"

"puff!!!"

————

The right arm is broken.

The clear spring slid to a dozen meters away with a clanging sound.

"..."

The bleeding stopped immediately, but Qigen's broken arm really reduced Haruto's combat effectiveness by more than 30%——

For other Shinigami, it would be nice to be able to retain two or three points of strength.

"I see."

There is no need for Tsunayoshi Hoshito to explain.

The scene just before his eyes made him instantly understand the ability of Star Devour:

Use the bright side of the blade to crush the external spiritual pressure structure, and then use the opposite dark side of the moon to absorb spiritual energy to replenish itself.

The absorbed souls can in turn maintain the extreme edge of the normalized star bite.

This is the Zanpakutō that combines attack and defense with Tsunayashiro Hoshiphosphorus.

"What a sophisticated interpretation of swastika. He is indeed the genius of the Kidō of the Tsunayashiro family."

"Thank you..."

"Uh-huh!"

The conversation is not complete yet.

The two figures have appeared at the same time at the broken arm holding Qingquan.

"!!"

There was no unnecessary nonsense in the fierce confrontation, and all the words had their purpose: as long as Tsunayoshi Seiko said two more words, Haruto would have a chance to reattach his broken arm.

but.

Tsunayoshi Hoshito apparently also saw through his purpose.

"...praise."

The pleasant chat did not delay her knife action.

The moment Haruto rushed over, the bright star bite also followed closely, and the sharp blade cut close to the center of the neck.

"Bang!"

But what she cut off was still the fake body.

"You're welcome."

Using Thunder Powder and Curved Light, Haruto successfully created the illusion of seizing his arm!

"——"

The intact left arm stretched straight out towards Tsunayoshi Hoshi, with fierce light and water mist rising between the open fingers.

A combination of flowing water and thunder and lightning.

Hydroelectric cannon?

No, that is a powerful gas that explodes on touch!

"Qing Zheng!"

"Chi!"

The rushing high-pressure air column instantly arrived in front of Tsunayoshi Hoshi.

Then--

"Bang!"

The sword blade turned sideways and was slapped hard, and the air column was instantly reduced to scattered spirits!

"It doesn't even use gas..."

The flowing flying ghost path, which is just a pre-skill and not very lethal, is also restrained by the power of Star Devour.

Immediately afterwards.

The spirit children that make up Kidō are once again absorbed by the Zanpakutō.

"You don't seem to have learned your lesson?"

The whole process was so smooth that it didn't take even half a second - Tsunayoshi Hoshiki gently waved the blade from bottom to top, and the invisible slash struck through the air again!

"No."

Haruto held up with one hand, and the empty defense wall instantly isolated the inside and outside.

"You're the one who didn't learn your lesson."

at the same time.

"Snapped!"

Haruto stepped on the ground hard.

With little scarlet splashes, Tsunayashiro finally understood the full picture of Haruto's tactics: no matter the fake body or the air pillar, this series of confusing attacks are all to make Haruto's blood flow across more than ten meters. The distance allows the body and the broken arm to be connected together.

The spiritual pressure contained in it can be used to repair the body through bone beating and "random pretending to be a puppet", and control the broken arm to return to Haruto's body!

"Whoosh!"

The broken arm slid quickly close to the ground.

As for Tsunayoshi Hoshino, who had just struck out with the sword just now, he would have no chance to pursue him even if he could react.

As for the attack itself on Haruto...

"Boom!!"

After bursting out with intense fire, it dissipated together with Duan Kong.

"Maintain normal sharpness."

Haruto thrust his arm hard into the fracture.

"It requires a considerable amount of your own spiritual pressure. This is an extremely cost-effective option for you who are already in a state of accelerated swastika."

Fine granulations that are difficult to discern with the naked eye connect the arms that are still active. They are being connected and reorganized from the inside out from the bones to the muscles.

"so."

"You must constantly absorb spirit particles from the opponent's attack to maintain the extraordinary destructive power of the slash."

Haruto shook his arm.

Although it was definitely not as flexible as at the beginning, Haruto did not intend to use this arm to fight head-on, and it was enough to make do with a few ghost arts.

"But..."

Haruto pointed at the little bit of water vapor that had not yet dissipated around Tsunayashiro Seirin.

"Compared to the four high-level ghost arts, the thunder roar cannon with only the blessing of "flowing water" obviously cannot allow you to obtain enough spirit particles from it."

Haruto's words made Tsunayashiro Seirin's face change slightly.

"This is also the reason why I can block the slash with a broken air..."

"Am I right, Miss Tsunayashiro?"

"..."

"You guessed well."

Tsunayashiro Seirin quickly regained his initial composure, as if the change in expression just now was just an illusion.

"Although it is very effective against enemies, Star Devourer is still too greedy... It is also a troublesome thing for me as a master."

Tsunayashiro Seirin lowered the tip of the knife to the ground.

"But."

"Even if you guess right, what can you do?"

Tsunayashiro Seirin tilted his head, and one of his round vermilion earrings swayed on the side of his cheek.

"Although your body is a little weird, as long as you can't resist the slashing with your body, there will be a moment when your spiritual pressure will be devoured."

"As for the collision of Zanpakutō..."

The gradually raised tip of the knife was aimed at the Qingquan in Haruto's hand.

"Although your knife is not blunt, your level is just so-so."

"..."

"Just so-so?"

Haruto smiled and raised Qingquan.

"Miss Tsunayashiro."

"I don't have the ability of Bankai. If you want to open your Zanpakutō, the release language is an indispensable part."

"!!"

The relaxed demeanor that Tsunayashiro Seirin had just found did not last long.

"You understood it very quickly."

"You..."

"Have you heard my liberation words?"

That's right.

Haruto only called out Qingquan's name, but didn't use any liberation words. In this state, although he could still give the target the attribute of flowing water and the effect of flow, the effect was far less powerful than the true first release.

The most important thing is that Qingquan itself has not been strengthened; it is the "strength" of the blade that directly resists the sharpness of the star-devouring... This is also the reason why Tsunayashiro Seirin failed to expand the advantage during the iron-making process.

"You...!!"

The plan of a quick battle failed halfway. The rest can only show Qingquan's true power after finding out all the abilities of the opponent's Zanpakutō; before that, even the broken arm did not make him change his mind... Otherwise, if his own abilities are understood by the opponent, then he will die here.

The two fingers together gently stroked the sides of the blade.
