Batsu'unsai Katori landed not far from Yamabuki, watching him warily. Why wasn't this kid running anymore? Was there an ambush nearby?
Yamabuki said indifferently: "You should know that a Shinigami's Zanpakuto has two forms. One is Shikai, which grants various powerful abilities. The other is Bankai, which increases power five to ten times beyond Shikai."
Batsu'unsai Katori didn't understand why the man in front of her was telling her these things. Yamabuki continued, as if no one else was there: "As the strongest Vice Captain in the history of the Gotei 13, I have perfectly mastered Bankai. Young lady, if you remain stubborn, I will have to use Bankai against you!"
A sense of caution arose in Batsu'unsai Katori's heart. Yamabuki's strength was definitely not weak, but he had only encountered monster-level opponents. If his strength increased fivefold on top of that, he would indeed be quite difficult to deal with.
"To avoid people saying I'm bullying a young lady, let's have a fair duel. I will release a Kido, Crimson Smoke Escape! Once the dense smoke clears, we'll fight to the death." Yamabuki looked at Batsu'unsai Katori with an arrogant attitude: "Young lady, it's still not too late to back out. Once my Bankai is unleashed, it will definitely draw blood!"
"Bring it on!" Batsu'unsai Katori was not afraid; her eyes even gleamed with excitement. Killing ordinary people indeed had a certain aesthetic, but killing strong opponents brought even greater satisfaction. Batsu'unsai Katori was ready; even if the opponent used Bankai, it didn't necessarily mean he could defeat her.
"Good! Crimson Smoke Escape!" Yamabuki placed his hand on the ground, and a large amount of red smoke obscured both their visions.
Yamabuki's voice came from within the Crimson Smoke Escape: "Later, when the smoke clears, we'll make our moves simultaneously. Don't you dare say I bullied you. I absolutely will not launch a sneak attack, listen closely, I absolutely will not launch a sneak attack!"
Batsu'unsai Katori was on full alert. Was the opponent planning a sneak attack? She then retreated two steps, surveying her surroundings. Time passed second by second, and the smoke from the Crimson Smoke Escape gradually dispersed!
When Batsu'unsai Katori saw what was inside...
"Hmm? Where is he? Where did he go?" Batsu'unsai Katori tilted her head slightly. How did he disappear?
Where did Yamabuki go? He ran, of course. Charging foolishly when you know you can't win means you're either an idiot or the protagonist.
"I didn't expect this demoness to be so easy to fool. All her nutrition must have gone to her development, huh!" Yamabuki chuckled as he headed towards Seireitei.
At this distance, the opponent shouldn't be able to catch up...
Suddenly, a sonic boom came from behind Yamabuki, followed by a sharp gust of wind. Yamabuki, startled, quickly ducked his head. A naginata grazed his scalp, shaving off a tuft of hair from the top of his head!
My hairstyle!!!
He looked back to see Batsu'unsai Katori standing behind him, panting, gripping her naginata, approaching step by step.
"Thanks to you, my Shunpo has improved again after reaching its limit!" Batsu'unsai Katori panted, her magnificent chest heaving with each breath, a truly spectacular sight.
Yamabuki, with a 'one more glance won't hurt' attitude, stared intently at her chest.
Another on-the-spot evolution. I'm clearly the Child of Destiny, so why isn't it me who evolves on the spot? It's unscientific!
And my hairstyle, my hairstyle that's been with me for eighteen years! It died today! I will definitely avenge you when I get the chance!
"A dignified Gotei 13 Vice Captain, yet you deceive people." Batsu'unsai Katori approached step by step, Yamabuki's eyebrow twitching. Even a cornered rabbit bites, let alone a sick cat like me!
Since you're forcing my hand, don't blame me for being impolite.
"Bakudo No. 66, Six Rod Light Prison!"
"Bakudo No. 77, Gochūtekkan!"
"Bakudo No. 79, Kuyō Shibari!"
Batsu'unsai Katori probably didn't expect the opponent to be so proficient with Bakudo. First, her body was restrained by six blades of light, then five iron pillars descended from the sky, pressing down on her body, and finally, nine black spiritual energy spheres appeared, controlling her body's movements.
This series of attacks caught Batsu'unsai Katori, the young lady, somewhat off guard, but only somewhat. She predicted that Yamabuki would attack in the next second.
At that time, she would instantly break through these Bakudo and counter-kill!
The power of Kido is directly proportional to the spiritual pressure of the user. Similarly, the Goryutenmetsu released by Urahara Kisuke is completely different from the one released by Blood Blue.
Although the Bakudo released by Yamabuki caused Batsu'unsai Katori a little trouble, it was only a little trouble.
As long as she unleashed her full spiritual pressure, she could break all the Bakudo.
How could Yamabuki not know the disparity in strength between himself and the opponent? He casually released a Crimson Smoke Escape to obscure the opponent's vision, then turned and ran.
Fight head-on? Impossible, never in this life.
Batsu'unsai Katori casually shattered the Bakudo and charged towards Yamabuki again. Her Shunpo had leveled up again in her social death, and her speed had clearly surpassed Yamabuki's. The distance between them was continuously closing.
At the critical moment, Yamabuki saw Seireitei ahead and was invigorated. Batsu'unsai Katori's hand was about to touch Yamabuki, but then his speed suddenly increased by a notch.
Under the demoness's relentless pursuit, Yamabuki finally broke through his limits as well, improving both his spiritual pressure and Shunpo.
The Gotei 13 members on patrol saw their Chief of Staff running towards them desperately from afar!
"Look, the Chief of Staff seems very disheveled. Is an enemy coming?" a squad member asked in surprise, and called over a few others to watch.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What enemy? I think it's clearly a young couple flirting. Look how beautiful the girl behind the Chief of Staff is!"
"Yeah, yeah! The Chief of Staff hides things well; we didn't even know he had such a cute girlfriend!"
"But listen, isn't the Chief of Staff yelling for help?"
"That kind of thing is common. Between men and women, there's always someone calling for help. You're just a young lady, you don't understand!" The old drivers all revealed mysterious smiles.
At this moment, Yamabuki was disheveled, his clothes tattered, looking more pathetic than a Hanako, and behind him, a madwoman wielding a large sword was desperately chasing him.
If only I had known, I shouldn't have gone to watch the commotion. If I hadn't watched the commotion, I wouldn't have ended up in this state!
And those bastards who were watching the commotion, didn't you see your Chief of Staff being hunted down by a demoness? How could you stand there laughing non-stop? Just wait until I'm free, and then you'll see what I do to you!
Let you laugh!
However, his spiritual pressure and stamina were completely exhausted. In contrast, Batsu'unsai Katori was like a monster with infinite energy.
Fortunately, he still had one last move!
"Captain Commander!!! Help!!!"
