Chapter 53: The War Is Intense



"I'm just very confused. You are known as the most merciful person in the Soul Society... Why is it like this?" Duke asked the question in his heart. As the captain, it's no surprise that Unohana Retsu is powerful, but the way she is powerful is obviously incompatible with her. Duke can accept a powerful kido, a powerful shunpo, and even a Zanpakutō with a bug ability, but he can't accept the kind of Unohana Retsu in front of him.

"Mercy... I am just a very evil person!" Unohana Retsu said self-deprecatingly, and said to Duke: "If you can beat me, I don't mind answering your questions."

"What if I lose?" Duke asked in a very simple manner. He was not happy to be brought here by Unohana Retsu to fight for no reason. It didn't matter if he lost or won. It was a battle without a goal or meaning. He didn't care whether he won or lost.

"If you lose, please die here!" As if he saw that Duke had no intention of fighting, Unohana Retsu said in a deep and serious voice, without any pretense.

"I'm not actually that interested in your past, but... dying here meaninglessly is not okay. It looks like I have to be serious!" Duke held his breath, his fighting spirit soaring to the sky.

"That couldn't be better!" When Duke's fighting spirit reached its peak, Unohana Retsu slashed at him again.

The two swords collided, and Duke secretly thought that it was not good. Unlike the previous strange and fierce swordsmanship that was difficult to dodge and defend, this time Unohana Retsu's sword moves were elegant and graceful. He did not adapt to the opponent's changes and was a step slower. He immediately fell into a disadvantage and was soon overwhelmed by the unpredictable offensive.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Duke was pushed back dozens of steps and quickly recited the Dugu Nine Swords Heart Technique to save the situation.

With a low groan, Unohana Retsu finally stood up with the help of his sword. The wounds across his chest and abdomen were very horrifying. Occasionally, he could see some spring scenery under his scattered clothes, but unfortunately, the beautiful scenery that should have made people swallow their joy was not able to arouse any feeling under the rolled up flesh and blood.

In the world of death, ability is everything. There are very few strong men who rely on swordsmanship to fight. Duke thought that the Dugu Nine Swords would end in this world, but he didn't expect that there would be a great person like Sister Hua... She is proficient in so many schools and can teach him moves. What a good person! "It's indeed a perfect opponent. I don't know how long it has been since I felt such a battle! Five hundred years... or a thousand years... or even longer?" Unohana Retsu once again used the Way of Resurrection to recover from his injuries. His originally cold and ruthless face showed an extremely bloodthirsty and belligerent smile: "I chose to practice the Way of Resurrection so that the pain of the body would not affect the battle. It is to enjoy the fun of fighting more when fighting with a strong man like you."

Let your heart be as pure as darkness, let your moves be as clear as light, let your body be compatible with nature like a shadow, and finally listen to all the voices, and cut off everything with the wind of God. The infinite sword will wrapped in the wind, under Duke's will, wantonly destroyed everything in front of him.

Swish! Unohana Retsu did not retreat but advanced, facing Duke with his middle door wide open, and slashed diagonally from bottom to top. Before the knife arrived, the chill of death struck first. Duke took a step back, narrowly avoiding the white silk that passed close to his chest. The cold sword intent cut open his clothes, leaving a faint trace of blood.

Duke, who was full of fighting spirit, did not reply. A proud and grim smile flashed across his lips, and he swung his sword fiercely. After several fights, Unohana Retsu showed her amazing fighting qualities. In terms of swordsmanship, she has countless means of attack; in terms of defense, she is also one of the best among the captains, and her spiritual pressure is extremely difficult to break: more importantly, she is proficient in Kaido, and no matter how fatal the injury is, it can be healed quickly, so that she can maintain the advantage in a protracted battle. Facing such an opponent, Duke was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

“Now!” Duke strode in front of Unohana Retsu, raised his sword and slashed it down fiercely with an indomitable momentum! The blade cut through the skin and flesh, and the hot blood splashed in front of Duke’s eyes. Unohana Retsu was split in half by his sword and fell backwards to the ground.

Unohana Retsu put away his sword in time. After the two swords collided, both sides retreated more than ten meters and held their swords to guard. Unohana Retsu looked at Duke in disbelief. No matter how he changed his moves, Duke could find the flaws in the moment of attack. It was obviously a defensive counterattack, but it seemed more like taking the initiative. At this moment, she finally understood why Kenpachi Kiyomizu chose Bankai before. It was because he had no choice and was too frustrated to be beaten.

"Your swordsmanship seems to be about defending first and then attacking. Compared to breaking the opponent's moves, you are not good enough in offense." Unohana Retsu seemed to see through something and pointed it out.

choke----

"How could there be such a sword technique in the world?" Mao Zhihua Lie didn't believe it. If Dugu Jiujian was really like what Duke said, it could break all the sword techniques in the world, then wouldn't her reputation of the Eight Thousand Flows be extremely tragic? After saying that, Mao Zhihua Lie took the lead as if to verify it. A long sword flew up and down in her hand, dancing tightly. As the sword techniques changed, secret swords of various schools emerged one after another. Sometimes it was as strong as pine and as fast as wind, profound and unpredictable; sometimes it was open and closed, with a majestic momentum and righteousness; sometimes it was like a ****, endless and pressing; sometimes it was insidious and cruel, weird and tricky, and used everything.

"Why...why no matter which style of swordsmanship I use, he can easily break it...is there really a sword theory that can break all swordsmanship in the world? Then what's the point of me claiming to be a master of eight thousand styles? Am I just a frog in the well in the end?"

"This world is huge. It's not surprising that you haven't seen my swordsmanship before." Duke waited for Unohana Retsu to recover, then he instantly appeared in front of her and slashed her hard, as a way of repaying her for not pursuing him. Arrogant swordsmen will never be grateful for the other party's mercy. They will give this mercy back to the other party and inflict even greater damage.

But even if Unohana Retsu used all his strength, he was helpless. Duke was like a small boat in the vast ocean. No matter how strong the wind and waves were, I would not move. The Dugu Nine Swords swept, chopped, plucked, cut, slashed, and thrust. These simple moves were as simple as the principles of swordsmanship. He always anticipated the enemy's moves, took advantage of the opportunity, and arrived first.

"Wu Ming Shen Feng Liu Jiao Long!"

"The swordsmanship you used is unheard of in Soul Society. I have mastered all the swordsmanship styles, but there are swordsmanship I have never seen before." Unohana Retsu sighed, and used Kaido to heal his injured shoulder with one hand. As expected of the captain of the medical team, he recovered from the injury in just a few moments. Under the white blood-stained haori, the skin exposed was as white as cream and flawless.

"What a perfect opponent. Perhaps you are the only one in Soul Society who can make my Dugu Nine Swords go further..." Duke half-closed his eyes and slowly woke up from his epiphany. Dugu Nine Swords emphasizes meaning over form. It is not limited by moves, but more concerned with the state of mind of the user. This set of swordsmanship cannot be mastered by rote memorization. To fight the enemy without any moves, only by completely forgetting the moves can one do whatever he wants and exert its power like flowing clouds and water.

Facing Duke's powerful slash, Unohana Retsu spun slightly on her heels and dodged half of her body. Then she placed the back of her left hand on Duke's Zanpakutō, and her seemingly petite and weak body burst out with an irresistible force. She turned her wrist and pushed away the sharp blade with one palm.

"Uh, Sister Hua... you accidentally revealed your age!" Duke complained, and at the same time secretly shocked by the sudden change in Unohana Retsu's style. What followed was an inexplicable excitement and fighting spirit. As she said, such a battle was intoxicating.

"What?" Duke was surprised at Unohana Retsu's method. This move seemed easy, but in fact it required the tempering of countless battles. It could only be achieved with fearlessness and calmness in the face of danger and extreme confidence in oneself.

"No, Dugu Nine Swords can break all sword techniques in the world. It's all about advancing, never retreating, and every move is an attack, forcing the enemy to defend... My sword technique is not up to par yet, so naturally I can't exert even one ten-thousandth of its power." Hearing Unohana Retsu say this, Duke was unwilling to remain silent. If he hadn't practiced it to par yet, he could put you in 108 different positions in minutes and make you sing "Conquer".

Fortunately, Dugu Jiujian is worthy of being the strongest swordsmanship in the world of martial arts fusion. Duke took the initiative and won with no moves, turning the situation around within three moves. Under the shocked look of Unohana Retsu, Duke's long sword flew across the air, the tip of the sword lightly touched her thrust, and then he slashed her right shoulder with a heavy sword.

The fight became more and more chaotic, and Unohana Retsu's sword moves gradually became weaker, and her confidence was also lost. In the end, Duke's simple sword seemed to her to have infinite changes, and she saw endless shadows behind each sword. Unohana Retsu didn't know how to attack, and didn't know how to make the next move. Unohana Retsu's swordsmanship was confused...

Although kendo is a discipline of how to use weapons, it is more important to train the practitioner's ability to judge and think. When facing the enemy, one must abandon the fear and distractions in one's heart. Moreover, the judgment and prediction of the opponent's mentality and behavior formed during the battle can make oneself calm and confident, know oneself and the enemy, and then adopt a strategy to defeat the enemy. There is no doubt that Unohana Retsu is such a kendo master.

"That's right, my sword was born to fight with people like you!" Unohana's fierce spiritual pressure rushed up and spread to the entire Wujian. The Zanpakuto with a strange arc slashed out countless sword energies and faced the dragon in the strong wind head-on.

Jiaolong is a sword technique that elevates the basic movements of kendo, mind, skills, and body to the extreme. It can only exert its power when the three are combined. Its characteristics are that it cannot be defended or blocked. However, this time, it was beyond Duke's expectations. His Jiaolong was defeated!

Unohana Retsu, who is proficient in numerous sword techniques, is not a reckless beast like Kenpachi Zaraki, nor is she a weak fighter like Kenpachi Kiyomizu. Her sword energy seems to have its own thoughts in every strike, walking on a route that cannot be considered with common sense. With her exquisite and unparalleled swordsmanship, she wiped out the dragon, making the blow that was bound to win become fruitless.

"Take another move from me... Wuming Shen Fengliu·Bai Yihu!"
