Chapter 23: Fight against Kenpachi Zaraki!

"Different people have different views on the same thing. In your opinion, I may be a little extreme, but I don't think so."

Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes were calm, without showing any emotion, and he responded to Natsuki calmly.

Then, Zaraki Kenpachi said, "Since you have discovered my secret, today, we must have a battle."

Kenpachi Zaraki is always so indifferent. When you are with him, it seems that you can never feel any emotional fluctuations. Even if the word "battle" is mentioned, it seems like it is just a matter that has nothing to do with Kenpachi Zaraki. He is so calm.

Natsuki had no intention of escaping when faced with Kenpachi Zaraki's challenge.

In other words, he also thought about staying out of it, but he couldn't do it, so he could only face it calmly.

"I also want to fight a strong man like you, Captain Zaraki."

"Unfortunately, I'm not in the squad right now, and there are no other captains to witness this event. Otherwise, if I accidentally defeated Captain Zaraki, I could serve as the new Kenpachi."

Some slightly arrogant words came out of Xia Mu's mouth.

Kenpachi Zaraki did not say anything about Natsuki's arrogance, but instead used a more tactful approach, "It seems that you are very confident in your own abilities."

Xia Mu didn't say much.

The next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared, and with the help of instant step, he came in front of Kenpachi Zaraki.

His palm quietly fell on the hilt of the Zanpakuto.

A flash of cold light!
The golden sword pressure swept towards Kenpachi Zaraki, and Kenpachi Zaraki's body was immediately split into two halves. However, Natsuki did not feel complacent at all. When the sword pressure cut through Kenpachi Zaraki's body, he felt a sense of nothingness.

This is not the real Kenpachi Zaraki.

His powerful spiritual perception allowed him to instinctively explore Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual veins in order to track down his true body.

After noticing a clue.

Xia Mu moved again in an instant and swung his sword instinctively.

Another golden sword flew through the air.

boom!
A nearby house was immediately damaged, and a young man's scream was heard from inside.

Xia Mu's expression did not change.

The voice of Kenpachi Zaraki suddenly sounded beside Xia Mu's ear, "Let's fight somewhere else."

His tone remained calm.

Xia Mu didn't refuse either.

After noticing Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual vein, he quickly followed it.

Soon, they arrived at the no-man's land of Rukongai.

After seeing Kenpachi Zaraki, Natsuki attacked the opponent again.

"Broken Path No. - Red Fire Cannon!"

A scarlet ball of flame flew through the air and headed towards Kenpachi Zaraki.

Xia Mu doesn't only know how to fight with instant movement and slashing techniques, he also occasionally uses Kidō, and his attainments in Kidō are not low.

A ghost technique was performed without chanting. Although it was not as powerful as the one with a complete chant, it condensed very quickly and was almost instantaneous.

The red fireball fell on Kenpachi Zaraki, and Kenpachi Zaraki's figure was shrouded in billowing smoke and roaring sounds.

Natsuki used Flash Step, but did not think of attacking Kenpachi Zaraki who was shrouded in smoke.

Instead, he swung his sword and slashed towards somewhere behind him.

Another figure of Kenpachi Zaraki was killed, but it was still not his real body.

"What kind of ability is this? Is it related to your Zanpakuto, Captain Zaraki?" Xia Mu did not try to continue the attack, but asked in the direction of the spiritual vein he sensed in front of him.

In the world of Bleach, leaving aside the Quincies and Hollows, any strange and bizarre abilities a Bleach possesses can be simply attributed to the ability of their Zanpakutō.

After all, there is nothing special about the Grim Reaper as an individual.

Only the Zanpakuto is different. Because of the difference in the soul, the Zanpakuto that is born is also completely different. Each sword has different abilities, and it is inevitable that there will be some strange abilities among them.

"I have no obligation to answer your questions!"

A figure appeared, it was Kenpachi Zaraki.

There were no injuries on Kenpachi Zaraki's body, even his clothes were intact. Obviously, all of Natsuki's previous attacks had failed.

"So, as Kenpachi, are you going to keep hiding like this?"

Xia Mu began to use moral blackmail.

Although it was true that he was the first to attack, he was the weak one, and the opponent was Kenpachi. As a strong man, what was wrong with him taking the lead? It was really despicable that a strong man like Kenpachi was unwilling to fight head-on.

Moral kidnapping and double standards made Xia Mu stack BUFFs frantically in his heart.

But I have to say,
Moral kidnapping and the like do have some effect.

"You're right. Since I was the one who initiated the fight, there's really no need for me to avoid it."

As Kenpachi Zaraki spoke, a sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

In Natsuki's eyes, Kenpachi Zaraki is a very special Shinigami. Other Shinigami, although they don't always carry their swords with them, they are indeed used to carrying their Zanpakuto with them. However, it is not the case with Kenpachi Zaraki. He is alone, and after becoming Kenpachi, apart from a captain's haori on his body, there is no trace of any Zanpakuto.

But there is no doubt that the sword must be there, and it was hidden by Kenpachi Zaraki using some special method.

And when necessary, he can take it out at any time.

This was the case when he fought Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, and it is still the case at this moment.

After the sword in Kenpachi Zaraki's hand appeared, Natsuki immediately felt a high-intensity spiritual pressure, which came from the sword in Kenpachi Zaraki's hand.

"What a terrible knife!"

Xia Mu said to himself in his heart, seeing that Kenpachi Zaraki chose to fight head-on, he wanted nothing more than that.

Swish!
He performed Shunpo again, and the spiritual pressure poured into his Zanpakutō, transforming into sword pressure.

The golden sword pressed down towards Kenpachi Zaraki.

Kenpachi Zaraki simply swung the Zanpakutō in his hand lightly.

The golden sword pressure that Xia Mu slashed out suddenly shattered.

Then, Kenpachi Zaraki's sword instantly came in front of Natsuki.

As the bearer of the name Kenpachi, when the Great Hollow appeared before, Kenpachi Zaraki always chose to fight with Kidō. Although he successfully defeated the Great Hollow, such behavior was difficult for the soldiers of the 11th Division to accept, and they subsequently developed a sense of admiration for him.

Now, in front of Natsuki, Kenpachi Zaraki showed his powerful attainments in swordsmanship.

Natsuki swung his sword again to meet Kenpachi Zaraki's attack.

The two Zanpakutō came into contact.

Natsuki felt an indescribable sense of oppression. An extremely powerful spiritual pressure was contained in Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakutō. The concentration and quality of this spiritual pressure were extremely high. Just the contact between the two swords showed that it was about to cut off Natsuki's Zanpakutō.

Of course Xia Mu couldn't let this happen.

As a result, even more powerful spiritual pressure was mobilized, and the scarlet spiritual pressure burst out and then poured into the Zanpakuto. Natsuki's Zanpakuto was also filled with high-intensity spiritual pressure, which competed with Kenpachi Zaraki's sword.
