Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 271
The next moment, the giant blade that almost filled the entire field of vision was casually swung up by Zhang Jie.

"Zanpakuto?" Mu Xiang said in a low voice. Ji Yue arrived first, blocking the oncoming blade.

The Zanpakuto, with its exaggeratedly exaggerated blade shape, was actually deflected by a single blow before the slender, crescent-shaped blade. However, Mu Xiang's expression became more serious; only he noticed the new change. Before Zhang Jie could pursue, Mu Xiang switched to offense, unleashing over a hundred strikes in an instant, preventing the Zanpakuto from landing.

Occasionally, Mu Xiang would attempt to change his attack and strike Zhang Jie, but these were all blocked by his telekinetic abilities. After shattering several telekinetic barriers, Mu Xiang understood the situation.

Mu Xiang wasn't very familiar with the setting of "Bleach". He was probably most familiar with "Bleach vs. Naruto"... yeah, that game with Aizen and Obito, and with a particularly unique style.

Zhang Jie redeemed the Shinigami bloodline and upgraded it to B-rank, enough to unleash his Zanpakuto. This is the maximum level of Shinigami-related upgrades offered by the Main God. What's worse, forget Bankai, even Shikai has to be developed manually.

But he is Zhang Jie... If he can fully utilize his Shinigami bloodline and Zanpakuto with his Guide physique, then Bankai wouldn't be difficult, right?

So... what type of Zanpakuto is he?

Only then was Quirk's initial release truly complete. At first glance, there weren't any particularly flashy special effects, but Mu Xiang, who was in the arena, noticed that the entire space was vibrating with telekinetic energy!
At this moment, the telekinetic and spiritual forces, which originated from the same source, merged into one and reached the same level; the spiritual pressure emanating from the Zanpakuto and Zhang Jie also resonated with the telekinetic and spiritual forces in the entire space, becoming one with them.

"Phew... I'm getting serious now." Zhang Jie let out a breath and smiled helplessly. "You seem to still have some leeway?"

Mu Xiang waved his hand: "I wouldn't call it 'extraordinary,' after all, I'm just someone who can take a beating."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jie and Zheng Zha, who was watching from the sidelines, both rolled their eyes. Zhang Jie then said seriously, "If you were exchanging for the Death God bloodline for combat purposes, you would definitely feel stingy... I originally just wanted to save myself, but I didn't expect that I would get the advancement of this Death God bloodline, which is not easy to develop, for free."

“Although the main god only provided three levels from D to B, and even the B level is incomplete... the bloodline and Zanpakuto have extremely high potential for development, so the upper limit is far beyond B level.” Zhang Jie smiled. “The Shinigami’s spiritual power is a kind of spiritual power, which is compatible with my telekinesis and spiritual power... Strictly speaking, in my hands, the Shinigami bloodline is no worse than the other two abilities.”

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "Really? So, the Grim Reaper bloodline's leap in your case is even stronger than the Kryptonian bloodline's leap in mine."

Zhang Jie shook the Kuiqi in his hand, and the shaking caused the entire space to tremble.

"A D-rank Shinigami bloodline can only see the spirit body and cause some damage, without even a Zanpakuto. A C-rank Shinigami bloodline is at the level of an ordinary Shinigami, with a spiritual power that is finally up to standard, at least level 20. A B-rank Shinigami, if they master Shikai, can reach level 5 spiritual power; if they master Bankai, they can reach level 3 or higher, at least captain level."

"And when I first strengthened my Death God bloodline... my spiritual power already surpassed the first rank!"

The next moment, Kuiqi, radiating terrifying spiritual pressure, pointed directly at Mu Xiang. The spiritual pressure instantly gathered at the tip of the blade, and then it was unleashed with a single strike. The invisible energy blade also caught Mu Xiang's attention, and Jiyue swiftly rose, shattering the energy blade with a strike imbued with intent.

"Crescent Moon Sky Slash?" Mu Xiang asked in surprise. This was a unique skill of the Moon Slash, yet Zhang Jie used it with ease.

[Is that detailed? Zhang Jie's understanding of "Bleach" is definitely deeper than mine. It's not surprising that he can deduce other people's skills based solely on the so-called principles in the original work.]

The entire space trembled with the impact. A deep crater was blasted into the ground, and amidst the flying debris, Mu Xiang, without turning his head, swung his sword in a backhand strike!

Zhang Jie appeared behind Mu Xiang. The exaggeratedly large Kuiqi was now completely powerless, as if its previous Crescent Moon Heavenly Strike had exhausted its spiritual pressure. However, before this strike could even touch the Seven Killers' defensive field, it was blocked by Ji Yue.

The tingling and numbness in his wrist made Zhang Jie sigh inwardly, and he used the momentum to fly backward.

To fully utilize the Shinigami bloodline, it's not just about spirit particle transformation and Zanpakuto... Zhang Jie has also completely mastered Shinigami combat techniques.

For example... Instant Step!
The Instant Step technique doesn't involve any spatial mysteries; it's simply a high-speed movement technique. For Zhang Jie, this was an unexpected gain, but he didn't have much opportunity to use it... After all, he hadn't expected to have a time when he could fully utilize his combat abilities.

Unfortunately, this time when I used Instant Step, my opponent was Mu Xiang.

High-speed movement... What does "high-speed" mean?
Zhang Jie's movement path was completely unfathomable to Mu Xiang, and the smoke from the previous collision wasn't enough to obscure his vision. Therefore, even if Zhang Jie concealed his spiritual pressure, Mu Xiang could easily block it!
Kuiqi was blocked by Jiyue's casual strike, but ripples appeared faintly at the point of impact.

Mu Xiang forced Zhang Jie back with a backhand strike, but instead of turning to pursue, he kicked out and lunged forward, creating distance between them. The Jiyue sword in his hand trembled, and what concerned Mu Xiang was that the tremors in the entire space hadn't stopped!
【I see……】

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. He should now fully understand why Zhang Jie had used a giant blade created by his mental energy to attack him.

In short, while its stealth is inferior to a pure mental attack, it is the most lethal attack against Mu Xiang. A pure mental attack cannot completely defeat Mu Xiang; it can only serve as interference at crucial moments. And it is unlikely that one could control Mu Xiang's body out of thin air.

Based on Zhang Jie's observation, during the high-speed exchange of blows between the two, he did try to influence Mu Xiang's body, for example, by using mental power and telekinesis to distract Mu Xiang from exerting his strength, but with little effect.

This kind of attack, which targets both the physical and mental aspects... would have been impossible for Mu Xiang to defend against without Ji Yue's willpower. Of course, after being affected by such a mental attack, Mu Xiang didn't immediately suffer physical injuries, but even minor damage is better than ineffective attacks, right?
If Mu Xiang's body were weaker, Zhang Jie could even make Mu Xiang injure himself during such an attack. Unfortunately, now, when Mu Xiang is hit, he will only experience pain indistinguishable from real trauma.

"How come this kid is so tough..." This was Zhang Jie's exasperation. The attack simulated by mental power was not fake; its tangible features not only allowed it to directly stimulate the pain in the corresponding location of the victim, but also affected other objects that were not aware of it.
