Chapter 1070 Your Sword Is Still in Its Sheath, Who Else Can You Kill?
"What are you talking about?"
Kenpachi Zaraki's brows furrowed. He could not understand the profound words about "cells" and "power transmission" spoken by Kurosaki Ichigo.
For him, battle is a collision of forces, a contest between blood and flesh. Those elaborate theories are like fantasy, which makes him feel strange and irritated.
For Kenpachi Zaraki, it is more than just a weapon, it is an extension of his soul and a way for him to communicate with the world.
"That means we don't have to worry about hacking you to death, right?"
Zaraki Kenpachi's voice was deep and powerful. He swung his sword again. This time, he tried to prove his strength with a more ferocious attack, allowing Kurosaki Ichigo to see how cruel real battles are.
However, Kurosaki Ichigo put one hand in his pocket in an almost joking manner, and easily blocked the fatal blow with the other hand, as if Zaraki Kenpachi's full blow was just a breeze.
"You damn thing, haven't you eaten yet? Use your mouth and teeth harder. Don't worry about me getting hurt, and don't worry about hacking me to death."
A faint smile appeared on Kurosaki Ichigo's lips. His tone was both provocative and encouraging, as if he was guiding Zaraki Kenpachi to release the power hidden deep in his heart.
"Because you're still far behind!"
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Kenpachi Zaraki's heart hard, arousing his unprecedented anger and fighting spirit.
In anger, Zaraki Kenpachi finally exploded. The muscles in his body seemed to swell instantly, and his eyes were red, like an enraged beast.
He swung the sword again. This time, he no longer slashed randomly, but concentrated all his strength and will on the blade, slashing towards Kurosaki Ichigo.
However, even such a blow was still easily resolved by Ichigo Kurosaki, as if there was an insurmountable gap between them.
"Mr. Zaraki Kenpachi, your strength is indeed awesome, but your fighting method makes me feel a little regretful."
Kurosaki Ichigo said slowly.
"You have such amazing power, but you don't seem to really understand the true meaning of fighting. Fighting is not only a battle of bodies, but also a battle of will and wisdom. The knife in your hand should be an extension of your power and your A transmitter of will, but now it seems more like an iron bar that you wield at will."
Kurosaki Ichigo's words were like sharp blades, piercing Zaraki Kenpachi's heart.
He has never thought about his relationship with the knife so deeply. All this time, he has only relied on instinct and strength to fight, and has never truly felt the soul of the knife and understood the meaning behind it.
At this moment, awakened by Kurosaki Ichigo's words, Zaraki Kenpachi seemed to be touched by a powerful force deep in his heart, and he began to re-examine his relationship with the sword.
"Even if you are afraid of cutting someone to death, what's the use of such a knife? You might as well use your nails. At least, as a part of your body, even if it's just instinct, you won't waste so much power! "
"Even when I chop people, I'm afraid that I'll chop them to death..."
Zaraki Kenpachi repeated these words in a low voice, with mixed feelings in his heart. Indeed, he has never really regarded the knife in his hand as a part of himself. More often than not, it is just a tool for releasing his power, rather than a medium that carries will and wisdom.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to hear the knife calling silently, longing to establish a deeper connection with him and become his true soul mate.
"Kid, your name is Kurosaki Ichigo, right?"
Zaraki Kenpachi laughed ferociously.
"That's right."
Kurosaki Ichigo nodded. Although he had introduced himself before, he knew that Zaraki Kenpachi didn't take it to heart at that time because he felt that he was not worthy of being remembered by him. It was different now.
The beast remembered his name.
"Hey, if that's the case, then use all your strength. I don't believe I can't hurt you!"
Kenpachi Zaraki took off the black eyepatch on his other eye. Inside the eyepatch was a densely packed small mouth, the kind full of teeth.
"This is something made for me by the Technology Development Bureau. It is used to swallow and break down my overly powerful spiritual pressure. Now, it is no longer needed."
He threw it on the ground casually, and golden spiritual pressure shot up into the sky like a volcanic eruption, instantly igniting the surrounding air and forming a dazzling light.
This power is the release of Zaraki Kenpachi's long-term suppression and accumulation.
Kurosaki Ichigo looked indifferent, as if he had expected all this.
He was not swayed by Kenpachi Zaraki's changes.
The true strength does not lie in the strength of strength, but in the ability to continuously grow and surpass oneself in battle.
"Mr. Zaraki Kenpachi, your strength is too low. If I guess correctly, the bell on your head is also to alert the enemy, right?"
Kurosaki Ichigo said casually.
He had already seen through Zaraki Kenpachi's weakness, which was not only in strength, but also in mind.
The bell on his head may have been originally intended to remind enemies or warn, but in Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes, it has become a constraint, a limitation of self-understanding.
"Oh, have you been seen through?"
Zaraki Kenpachi was a little surprised.
"The intention is too obvious. Come on, let me see your strength."
Kurosaki Ichigo waved to Zaraki Kenpachi.
"Come on, Kurosaki Ichigo! Let me see if your strength is worthy of your words!"
Zaraki Kenpachi shouted and rushed towards Kurosaki Ichigo like an arrow from a string.
His knife drew a brilliant trajectory in the air, with a sound of breaking through the air, and went straight to Kurosaki Ichigo's vitals.
However, Kurosaki Ichigo did not choose to dodge, but also rushed forward at an astonishing speed. He clenched his fist, as if he had gathered all the strength and will in his body, and punched out, colliding head-on with the blade of Zaraki Kenpachi.
"Bang!"
With a deafening sound, the knife in Zaraki Kenpachi's hand was actually knocked away by Kurosaki Ichigo's punch. After spinning several times in the air, the blade was deeply embedded in the stone wall in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, Zaraki Kenpachi was hit by a heavy punch in the face.
Kurosaki Ichigo's fist fell like a meteorite, smashing him to the ground. With a roar, the ground instantly broke into pieces, forming a huge spider web-like crack.
In the flying dust, Zaraki Kenpachi's figure was buried in it.
"Mr. Zaraki Kenpachi, who else can you kill with your sword tip sheathed?"
"You swing your sword at me with murderous intent, you bastard!"
Ichigo Kurosaki was very disappointed, very disappointed.
Kenpachi Zaraki's strength was shockingly low. He could feel Kenpachi Zaraki's power, which was a perception of the power of others by absolute power. Ichigo Kurosaki was very happy because he felt that Kenpachi Zaraki was very strong.
