Alchemist in Death

Chapter 174 The death of the first Kenpachi!

While Ichiro and the others were talking, Yachiru jumped up to Kenpachi who was half kneeling on the ground, stretched out his little hand and touched Kenpachi's head.

"Xiao Jian, you finally succeeded, you can't do this again in the future."

"Yachiru?" Kenpachi raised his eyelids with difficulty and looked at Yachiru in confusion.

"Well, it's me, but Xiaojian, you seem to be losing."

"...Yeah, I'm going to lose. I'm sorry, I failed to live up to your expectations."

"Hmm~" Yaqianliu shook his head, "Xiaojian didn't lose! You haven't used me well yet. Together, we are invincible."

Just when Kenpachi was confused, Yachiru smiled, and his whole body turned into a stream of light and merged into Kenpachi's body.

"The power...is back? This is..."

'This is called the swastika sword...enjoy this battle and go for victory...'

"Swastika? What about you? Baqianliu? Baqianliu?"

However, before Yachiru could respond, Kenpachi's body changed. The power that had been sealed by him completely returned and improved to a higher level, allowing him to successfully use the extremely loaded swastika!
Swastika Yesha also attacked directly, but his power was several times higher than before.The biggest change was not the sword, but the user Kenpachi Zaraki.

There were marks on his face that were completely blurred. There were two black lines from the forehead to the bottom of the eyes. Two horns grew out of the forehead. His face became like an evil spirit, and his whole body was red and dark.

The state of Nosha after the swastika is similar to the state of the original, but the blade of the Nosha will break from the middle. However, this does not affect the power of the Zanpakutō. On the contrary, it is stronger!
After activating the swastika, Kenpachi not only looks close to an evil beast in appearance, but also in spirit. The rationality is almost wiped out, leaving only an almost instinctive wildness!
Of course, this does not mean that he is weak. The difference between people is greater than the difference between people and pigs. This move is useless to others, but to Kenpachi...

It was a match made in heaven!
The crazy wildness, coupled with the sadness in his heart after Yachiru's inexplicable disappearance, all these combined with the previous fighting spirit made Kenpachi even more crazy!
"Roar!!"

A beast-like roar came from Kenpachi's mouth. The beast-like Kenpachi lay on the ground and killed the captain like a beast.

He was running on all fours on the ground holding a huge Zanpakutō that looked like a kitchen knife on a door panel. This should have been a somewhat funny scene, but when it appeared on Kenpachi, it abnormally added a bit of horror to it!

But this did not scare the captain. On the contrary, she laughed happily because she saw a being who was even stronger than the boy from hundreds of years ago!

What else could be more joyful than this?

Perhaps Ichiro's mastery of swordsmanship can be compared to it?

However, she had long given up hope.

Therefore, when he saw such a powerful Kenpachi, the smile on the captain's face was as bright as a flower in spring, even though this flower is the flower of the other side that symbolizes death, the Manjushuahua that is said to grow in hell...

Facing the oncoming Kenpachi, the captain raised the Zanpakutō slightly, his heart moved, and he followed it!

The gorgeous sword light is like a silver moon, suddenly falling from the sky!
"when!"

Although the extreme pure wildness drove Kenpachi into a state of madness, from another perspective, it also allowed Kenpachi to reach the state of "following him" in an alternative way.

What is a carry-on?
The high degree of integration of the spirit and the body, the unity of form and spirit, the movement follows the soul, and there will be no delay. Kenpachi is definitely still far from the realm of swordsmanship.

Not only him, but the captain is also far behind, because the stronger the person, the harder it is to reach this state. Most of the Shinigami have thinking speeds higher than the body's reaction speed.

Therefore, to reach this state, we can only find another strange way. The captain uses the power of the ghost to integrate the spirit and body to achieve the state of body following.

And Kenpachi... achieved it by abandoning his brain...

Although it is a bit low, it is still a method. After all, the secret of body movement is to shorten the time for the spirit to transmit commands to the body. Now I have no brain, the body will move by itself, and there is no distance!

In a sense, Jianba should be regarded as the highest level of body, although it can only be used by himself...

After all, other people's physical instincts are not as strong as his.

Therefore, the captain's swift attack was not unstoppable to Kenpachi.

If the captain's sword is like the silver moon above the nine heavens, then Kenpachi is like the Asura who will try to devour the sun and moon in revenge!

One high and one low, one god and one demon, the dazzling silver blade finally collided with the bloody broken blade, causing strong fluctuations!
The violent air flow rustled the clothes of Ichiro and the others.

The two people who had reached their strongest posture at present, in the small space of Wujian, each turned into a line of light and shadow, one silver and one red, colorful and intertwined, and the fight was extremely fierce.

The duel between the two people at the peak of their skills dazzled everyone watching. This kind of duel between skills is the most exciting, especially when both of them have temporarily reached the realm of body-following. Watching their battle, it is incredible, Everyone felt that they had a new understanding of swordsmanship.Even Ichiro has a new idea for the next stage of the development of Yachiryu Sword, although the development direction has already begun to deviate from the sword method...

Captain Zheng Huan, who was fighting Kenpachi in the field, didn't know that Ichiro had once again extended his magic hand on her Yachi-ryu sword...

But I guess I won’t care if I know it. What else can a dying person have that is worth caring about?

At this time, in her eyes, only Jianba!
Different from Ichiro's Yachiru no Sword, the Yachiru no Sword, which is based on the realm of "body following", controls the power of ghosts in a much more refined way than Ichiro's. At a level that is invisible to everyone, every trace of ghosts is revealed. Strength flows through the blood vessels, meridians, and bones in the captain's body.

Not only does it increase her physical fitness, but it also greatly strengthens her defensive capabilities. This is another big difference from Ichiro's Yachiru no Sword. It is also the existence of this that allows the captain to use it far beyond her own ability. Performing sword skills at random speeds.

In this state, the captain's swordsmanship is so weird, complicated, and brilliant that no one in the entire Soul Society can match him!
But swordsmanship is not the only factor that determines the outcome of a battle.

It is true that Kenpachi is not as good as the captain in terms of swordsmanship, but his excellent fighting instincts make up for this shortcoming very well. He seems to be born for fighting.

No matter how the captain's swordsmanship changes, Kenpachi can respond immediately, and can even predict the captain's next change in advance by relying on instinct!
It is terrifying!
Soon, due to the super-speed battle between the two, two hundred rounds passed by in an instant. The captain understood that he could not defeat Kenpachi by relying on the changes in his sword skills. His fighting instinct was already very terrifying, but now it has been further strengthened by the swastika. , even better, so if you want to win, you can only fight head-on!

With this thought, the swordsmanship in the captain's hand suddenly changed. The swordsmanship was no longer dazzling, but full of murderous intent!
Every movement of your hands and feet can give people the feeling of being on your back!

The soft moonlight faded away, and what emerged instead was a bloodthirsty Shura!
Looking at the two Shura who were fighting desperately in the field, Chun Shui was secretly speechless and said in amazement: "I didn't expect that after hundreds of years, Senior Uozhihua has made so much progress. It's really incredible."

Ukitake and Kirinji nodded in agreement. Only at this level did they realize how difficult it was to take a step forward.

Of course, while marveling, there was also some regret in his heart. Ukitake sighed, looked at the two people fighting together in the field with complicated eyes, and said: "It's a pity that one of them is destined to die today."

Hearing this, everyone was silent. They felt bad about who these two people had lost.
This is also true for Shun Shui who asked the captain to die in the original work, Chen Quan Kenpachi. In the original work, Shun Shui asked the captain to do that mainly due to two considerations. One is that Kenpachi’s combat power is really needed now, and the other is slightly dark. , the captain is dead. As the new captain, he must ensure his absolute authority in the team.

Therefore, Sister Hua, who followed the captain at the beginning of the establishment, became his biggest obstacle, because Sister Hua followed his teacher, not Team [-] or Jinglingting, and before becoming a good person, Sister Hua was The most evil person in the Soul Society, he could not guarantee that he could suppress Hua Jie, so Hua Jie's death at that time was a good thing for him and Team [-].

But the situation is different now. Now that he is not the captain, he doesn't need to worry so much, and the captain is still there.

On the other hand, the captain on the side looked at Ichiro, who had not treated him yet, with a deep look. He knew a little about Ichiro's medical ability. Although the injury of this level was serious, as he said, this was not enough for him. , it’s really just a matter of one arm.
Even if I consumed too much before, logically speaking, it should be almost done after a while, right?Can it at least be restored initially?But Ichiro didn't. He even simply dealt with it to prevent it from getting worse, and then stopped taking any action.

From what he knew about Ichiro, this was not normal. He bet that this kid was definitely holding back some bad water in his heart!

Eighty percent of it is related to that ability.
The captain narrowed his eyes. Although he roughly guessed Ichiro's plan, he was not prepared to make a statement or even stop it. After all, from his personal point of view, he did not want to see Lie die.

Although this is her long-cherished wish, as a friend, he does not want to see Lie die. The oldest god of death, this title sounds very majestic, but only he knows the bitterness inside, watching his friends one after another. He didn't want to experience that feeling of someone dying, leaving only himself.

Although in general he didn't have many friends and he hadn't experienced it a few times in total.
Glancing at Chunshui and the others on the side, the captain said: "When you have time, take a look at the new things in the Ghost Society. Although Lie was the first to come into contact with those things, Ichiro later submitted them to the Ghost Society. Lieutenant The eight-thousand-ryu sword of the eight thousand swords can reach this step, and Ichiro's ghost skills are indispensable."

Ichiro turned his head and looked at the captain speechlessly. Although you were praising me, why did you change your words?Did you also specifically emphasize the real Eight Thousand Style Sword?My Eight Thousand Style Sword has eaten your rice!

Wait!If you don't change all the moves of you, bad old man, into Kidō, I won't be able to bear the title of Kidō Ghost Talent given by the captain!

Cursing secretly in his heart, Ichiro moved his gaze to the battlefield, turning a blind eye to the looks from Shunshui and others. He had long been accustomed to seeing these looks of admiration and surprise over the years. Whenever he achieved a small goal, the people around him would always be surprised. He would show a similar look, and only Urahara would curiously discuss it with him.

Looking at the captain on the field, Ichiro's eyes were a little dim.
At this time, the captain who had switched to swordsmanship and Kenpachi were fighting together in the field. The captain who had switched to swordsmanship changed his previous fighting style and almost started to attack Kenpachi!
No matter how strong the defense of Ghost Network is, it cannot withstand such an attack. Within a few rounds, it was cut and bruised all over its body.
Of course, Kenpachi on the other side was definitely not feeling well. His injuries were even more serious. There were deep blood marks everywhere on his body, and bones and internal organs could even be seen in many wounds!
but!

Although Jianpachi's injury was more serious, but it was Jianpachi who started to gain the upper hand!
Because although the captain's Yachiru no Sword is more focused on control than Ichiro's, and the power of Kidō is not that exaggerated, there is one thing in common!

There is a certain load on the mind and body!

Mentally, it's okay to say that the captain came out of a sea of ​​blood, so this level can't affect her, but physically it's different, especially after being injured, the system of the ghost network is destroyed, and the ghosts accumulated in it are The power of Tao began to drain, and the state of the Yaqianliu sword gradually faded. In this way, it is only natural to be suppressed.
On the other hand, although Kenpachi's injuries were serious, Kenpachi would encounter injuries of this level once or twice every few years in Rukongai. He had long been used to it, and his swastika was only instinctive. Then I didn't care anymore.

In fact, the captain is not without a chance of victory, because she still has a way out, but since Kenpachi released all her combat power, she stopped treating herself. If they don't give up treatment, with their current strength In contrast, the captain has a chance to win.

Unfortunately.
She came here with the intention of ending her own destiny from the beginning, so how could she possibly heal herself?

It can be said that the outcome of this battle has actually been decided since Kenpachi was able to fight evenly with the captain, because she had already made her decision, and the only person who could stop her helped her instead.
In fact, the captain is not particularly satisfied with this result. According to her original plan, it should be for the awakened Kenpachi to pierce the wound he left hundreds of years ago to bring a perfect end to this battle, but .
Looking at the kitchen knife on the door panel in Kenpachi's hand, the captain felt that something was wrong and he couldn't force it on others.

Everyone was a little silent, but maybe for Unohana-senpai, dying in battle is her most glorious moment, right? Shunsui and Ukitake thought to themselves as they looked at the captain whose injuries were getting worse.

"Pfft~"

Finally, as the captain's injury worsened, she failed to escape Jianpachi's slash, and was cut off by his upper body obliquely, and her heart was cut in half.
At the same time, Kenpachi's swastika had reached its time limit, and Yachiru regrouped beside him. The two of them just stood aside and looked at the captain who fell to the ground without saying a word.

The captain lying on the ground looked at Kenpachi and smiled: "No need to show such an expression, this is what every Kenpachi should do. If a new Kenpachi appears in the future, you will do the same." Same choice, although I don’t think anyone can surpass you.”

As he said that, the captain turned to look at Ichiro, wanting to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't say anything. He just smiled and passed away the last of his life.
