Chapter 1121: Yecheng: Eight Thousand Schools? I Know a Few Myself!
Watching from the edge of the battlefield, Tō Shilang observed the two figures who had fought from the ground to the sky and back again.
He now understood why Yecheng had advised him not to join this chaotic battle. Yecheng himself was fine, but Captain Kenpachi Zaraki and Captain Retsu Unohana had transformed into complete maniacs once they entered combat.
Tō Shilang could see that their fighting was a true life-and-death struggle, not just a show of force.
Kenpachi Zaraki was known throughout the Thirteen Court Guard Squads as a complete battle fanatic. However, Tō Shilang had never expected such a stark contrast from Captain Unohana. Looking at the current Retsu Unohana, he almost felt as if the Captain he knew before was a different person.
"Secret Sword: Swallow Return!"
In the continuous high-speed sword clashes, Captain Unohana used various sword techniques she had mastered. The thrill of battle made her forget her initial purpose, and she found joy in the fight with Yecheng.
Captain Unohana and Kenpachi Zaraki were of the same ilk—thorough battle fanatics. One of them had sealed his true strength to match his opponent's level and enjoy the fight, while the other had learned healing arts to stay in the fight longer and enjoy the slaughter.
Indeed, Captain Unohana had not learned healing arts for others, but to avoid being easily cut down and to better enjoy the battle. That was the true reason she had learned the healing arts.
Faced with an ultimate slash that defied the concepts of time and space, even the so-called "Eight Thousand Schools" Retsu Unohana showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.
By the time she reacted, her Shinigami uniform had been torn by the blade, leaving a deep, bone-deep cut from her chest to her abdomen.
"Kenpachi Zaraki is the only one who can please you? Just because he left a scar on you years ago?
I, Yecheng, can do the same, and if you want it to stay, I can help you keep it.
The world is vast, and it's impossible for two 'Sword Eights' to exist in the same era. But why do you think 'Sword Eight' can only be you or Captain Kenpachi?"
As Retsu Unohana fell from the sky, her eyes blazed with renewed fighting spirit upon hearing Yecheng's words. The injuries Yecheng had inflicted on her in his Bankai state were not enough to incapacitate her.
"The sword technique you just used was truly remarkable, one of the strongest I've ever seen in my life.
I knew your sword talent was strong, but I didn't expect you to reach such heights. Is this what you mean by 'knowing a few'?"
As the former "Eight Thousand Schools", no one in the Soul Society could match her understanding of swordsmanship.
Yecheng's "Swallow Return" was something Retsu Unohana could confidently say did not belong to any of the sword techniques she had seen before. Thus, she naturally assumed it was a technique Yecheng had created himself.
"I already said, the world is vast. Just because you were once called 'Eight Thousand Schools' doesn't mean you can recognize every sword technique out there.
I can responsibly tell you that the Secret Sword: Swallow Return was not created by me, but by an obscure swordsman.
I only learned this technique after defeating him."
And just like this swordsmanship expert, I've also sparred with many others and learned some of their sword techniques to a greater or lesser extent.”
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Captain Unohana became visibly excited, almost to the point of being moist with anticipation!
As the renowned "Eight Thousand Flows", one of the top swordsmen, she had long since found it impossible to find an opponent in the Soul Society who could match her in swordsmanship.
Her previous goal was to force Kenpachi Zaraki into a life-or-death situation using her Bankai Completion, thereby unlocking his hidden combat potential.
After all, Kenpachi Zaraki seals his own combat strength because of the encounter he had with her in the past.
Now, with Yecheng's appearance, Captain Unohana once again felt the long-lost excitement of battle.
A super battle maniac on par with Kenpachi Zaraki, Captain Unohana at this moment clearly threw all caution to the wind.
All she wanted was to fight and engage in a fierce, unbridled battle, and she also wanted to see the sword techniques Yecheng had learned from other swordsmanship experts.
In short, the thrill of battle was exhilarating!
"Seven Days, Seven Flashes!"
Yecheng didn't have the Seven Days Command Blade of the Cross Church of Fiery Weaving, so he could only compress his spiritual pressure to form thin, almost translucent threads to execute this technique.
As Yecheng's long sword swung down, despite being at a considerable distance, Captain Unohana's limbs suddenly burst with a large amount of blood.
However, even if she were dismembered, she wouldn't easily die as long as she was in her Bankai Completion.
While the physical injuries could be healed, the pain of the injuries would leave a mental scar.
For someone with weaker willpower, experiencing such severe injuries or torture multiple times would likely result in psychological trauma.
But for Captain Unohana, this wasn't a problem at all.
She and Kenpachi Zaraki were of the same ilk. The injuries Yecheng inflicted on her did not cause any psychological trauma; instead, they made her even more excited!
Meanwhile, Kenpachi Zaraki, who had been cut by Yecheng and had not received Captain Unohana's healing as in the original story, was gradually sinking into a pool of blood. Watching the two figures fighting fiercely in the air, his face showed a look of extreme frustration.
The battle and the thrill he sought were right before him, but he was too weak to join in the fray.
"Are you feeling frustrated because you can't fight and kill alongside them?"
"Who are you? Why am I here?"
Due to his severe injuries, Kenpachi Zaraki's consciousness was blurred. When he finally regained his senses, he found himself in the Rukongai's Seireitei district, surrounded by a mountain of corpses.
"You finally hear my voice? To make your battle and slaughter more enjoyable, I'll tell you my name…"
"Devour, Nozarashi!"
A massive golden spiritual pressure erupted from the blood pool, enveloping Kenpachi Zaraki. He wielded a massive sword with a white-wrapped hilt and a blade over three meters long, more like a giant axe than a katana.
Looking at the two figures locked in an intense battle in the air, Kenpachi Zaraki's face broke into a wild grin.
He then gripped Nozarashi with both hands, gathering his powerful spiritual pressure, and swung the blade down toward Yecheng and Captain Unohana!
