Chapter 20 I... will never fight again.
She didn't use Bankai during her previous battle with Yorimitsu because she initially only wanted to compete in swordsmanship.
However, after this period of reflection and simulation, she realized that she could never beat Yoriichi Tsugikuni no matter what.
This is not simply because Yoriichi Tsugikuni is faster and stronger than her.
Rather, it means...
Yoriichi Tsugikuni doesn't seem to have any particular school of swordsmanship or any profound skills when he wields a sword.
However, he always managed to block her swordplay one step ahead, as if she were invisible to her and he knew exactly what she was going to do!
The more Unohana thought about it and simulated their battle, the more desperate she became, because she realized that if it was just a matter of swordsmanship, she might never be able to beat this man!
Then, let's test the overall combat strength?
She no longer confines herself to the Dao, but uses all techniques together! This is her strongest form; as long as she can kill, she can use anything in battle!
"Come on! If you don't want to waste your time on me, then unleash your strongest power! And release your Zanpakuto!"
Unohana's pupils dilated as she stared intently at Yoriichi Tsugikuni, wanting to see what he would do next!
From what angle will he swing the knife?!
What will his Zanpakuto's ability be?
A man this strong couldn't possibly not have mastered Bankai!
Yoriichi quietly watched Unohana, who was imposing and transformed into a sea of blood demon, and seemed to feel her resolute determination to fight at all costs.
He exhaled softly, the breath turning into a faint white mist in the cold morning air.
"I will not unleash my Zanpakuto..."
Yoriichi Tsugikuni closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them again. At this moment, his aura was completely different from before!
At this moment, he was even more like a demon than Unohana, but he did not exude a fierce aura; instead, he emanated a vast and powerful presence!
Pure strength, pure size!
Yoriichi Tsugikuni was as dazzling as the sun, his light seemed to fill the whole world!
Incarnation of the sun!
Under the scorching sun, Unohana felt as if her whole body was melting!
The crimson sea of blood surrounding her, which seemed like an illusion, appeared to be undergoing an invisible purification and repulsion, fluctuating violently and retreating!
It was not driven away by violence, but rather like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, naturally melting and retreating!
She could hardly believe her eyes, because in her eyes, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was the first ray of dawn that tore through the long night and drove away all the cold and filth!
It is the eternally high sun that nourishes all things and purifies evil spirits!
A pure, boundless, warm, and majestic sense of 'holiness' and 'power' instantly engulfed this space like a silent tide!
It wasn't murderous intent, but it inspired more awe than any murderous intent!
It wasn't an intimidating force, yet it caused even Unohana's steely will, honed by a thousand years of slaughter, to tremble instinctively!
Faced with this aura, she felt as insignificant as dust and as fragile as morning dew. The blood-red killing intent that seemed capable of engulfing the world before now appeared so laughable and insignificant!
Ants and elephants?
No, no, no, it's more like dust and dragons!
When all the light faded, she saw Yoriichi Tsugikuni standing in front of her, his blade once again pointed at her neck!
"..."
Unohana stared blankly at Yoriichi Tsugikuni in front of her, almost unable to believe her eyes.
Own……
Lost?
even……
Not even a chance to draw the knife?
"Yoichi Tsugikuni..."
Unohana's throat moved slightly, and her hand loosened, causing the Zanpakuto that had been with her for hundreds of years to fall from her grasp.
But she seemed completely oblivious, and simply mumbled:
"Who exactly are you?"
"I am but a loser." Yoriichi Tsugikuni said softly, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"A man who can't change anything, all I want is... to make up for my past mistakes."
He slowly sheathed his sword, and the sacred aura emanating from him gradually dissipated.
Only Nigu Cai Cang, who was watching from a distance, nodded slightly. He was not surprised, because in his opinion, only those who could achieve this level could be called the Son of God.
The moment he saw Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he had already vaguely sensed the vast divinity emanating from the other man.
As a monk who had long served Lord Mimihachi, he was no stranger to this feeling.
Seeing him unleash this power now, I understood even more.
"I lost..."
Unohana's body trembled uncontrollably.
If she felt a little resentful after losing to Yoriichi Tsugikuni before, she was now completely convinced.
Without using his abilities, he is no match for Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
However, if you use your abilities, the gap between you and your opponent will become even greater!
No, according to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he didn't even have the ability to use his Zanpakuto, so that moment just now... didn't seem like he was unleashing his Zanpakuto.
he……
That's absolutely the strongest!
Suddenly, her gaze became intense again.
Looking at Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the scene of him wielding his sword earlier suddenly came to mind.
In that sacred radiance, Yoriichi Tsugikuni drew his sword in an instant and slashed. A clear, straight trajectory, as if representing the first ray of light, flashed through her consciousness!
Then, the knife was placed against her neck.
Is it fast? No, it's beyond speed!
Is it strong? No, it transcends the definition of strength!
She suddenly burst out laughing.
The laughter was initially dry, then became clearer, but there was no joy in it, only an overwhelming despair, and...
A sense of relief, as if the dust had settled.
"I lost."
She had just said those three words, and now she said them again, her voice a little more stable than before, but still hollow and unsettling.
Then... she took a deep breath, raised her hand, and looked at her empty, slightly trembling palm.
This was originally her hand that held the knife, but looking at her empty hand, she seemed to have made up her mind and said softly:
"I... will never fight again."
She had already realized that the sword strike that Yoriichi Tsugikuni had unleashed was a level she could never reach in her entire life.
No matter how much she practiced her sword, fought, and battled for her life, even if everything reached its peak, she still couldn't unleash such a sword strike.
There's no point in her fighting anymore.
Yoriichi's sword strike defeated not only her body, but also her will!
She saw the 'end' in Yoriichi Tsugikuni!
But that ultimate goal was a realm she could never reach in her entire life!
