Chapter 25 Defeat!

Natsuki rushed towards Kenpachi Zaraki, intending to defeat him quickly.

After using his Shikai, he really had no more cards left.

After all, he had only been a god of death for a few years. Including the time he spent in Hueco Mundo, it was only about the same time as an ordinary soul from the time he entered Maou to the time he graduated. It might have been a little longer, but not much longer.

Unlike the protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki who possesses extremely powerful strength and only needs to fight to unlock the power in his body, Natsuki's strength improvement has its limit no matter how fast it is.

Kenpachi Zaraki is the captain of the 11th Division and is a captain-level existence after all. He has already revealed many strange abilities, but Natsuki doesn't know how many cards he has, so he has to defeat Kenpachi Zaraki within a limited time.

The thought has been settled.

Xia Mu slashed with the knife in his hand.

The surrounding red mist disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, the red earth returned to normal.

The flying scarlet butterfly was also annihilated, but the scarlet light on the Zanpakuto in Xia Mu's hand became increasingly intense.

Still a slash!
Although the surrounding environment will undergo tremendous changes after Natsuki's Zanpakutō is released, it is true that the most powerful attack method of his Zanpakutō is still direct slashing.

The crimson slash covered a huge area, like a red curtain, about to cover Kenpachi Zaraki.

At this moment, Xia Mu's body suddenly stiffened.

"I can't move!"

Xia Mu's face was solemn.

At this moment, he seemed to have lost control of his body. A strange force appeared in his body. This force had its own will and was trying to snatch control of his body.

Then, using his Zanpakutō's abilities, he discovered that this seemed to be Reiatsu.

A spiritual pressure that did not come from him.

At this moment, there are only two people here. If it's not his spiritual pressure, it's obviously Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure.

"Is this what you rely on?"

Sending spiritual pressure into his body and controlling his body, even though Xia Mu quickly forced himself to control his Zanpakuto, trying to devour the spiritual pressure that entered his body and destroy the will contained in it.

But in a real battle, the impact of a moment is enough to determine the outcome.

Because of Kenpachi Zaraki's interference, Natsuki's attack, which was built up with power, was ultimately unable to be completely delivered.

The crimson curtain was torn apart by Kenpachi Zaraki's sword, and then Kenpachi Zaraki's sword fell on Natsuki's body.

Blood splattered out.

……

pain!
Extreme pain.

Xia Mu lay on the ground, feeling the pain in his body.

This was the first time he had been injured so badly since coming into this world.

At this moment, his mood was very complicated.

I clearly chose to escape at the first opportunity, but I didn't expect that Kenpachi Zaraki would come to me on his own initiative. I can only say that my luck is really bad.

"You won't kill me?"

Xia Mu looked at Kenpachi Zaraki who was standing beside him, "Or do you want to hear my last words?"

"If it's the latter, then I probably don't have any last words." Although he has established some friendships in this world, overall, he is still alone and has no worries. On the contrary, after his death, he can live in this world for a few more years and experience a life that he has never experienced in his previous life. Xia Mu does not feel any regrets, but rather feels it is worth it.

Although thanks to his Zanpakutō, he has now completely eliminated the strange spiritual pressure that invaded his body and interfered with his movements, it is too late. It does not help to change his current situation.

Kenpachi Zaraki's sword, which contained high-density spiritual pressure, directly broke through his heavy defenses and caused him serious injuries.

The defense was broken, which was naturally related to the previous spiritual pressure interfering with his body.

"I don't need to kill you!"

Kenpachi Zaraki said calmly.

Then he turned and left.

Noticing that Zaraki Kenpachi had left, Xia Mu was a little surprised. He asked again, "You let me go, aren't you afraid that I will reveal what you did?"

Kenpachi Zaraki paused.

Xia Mu suddenly felt that he was being a little rude.

Although I have no regrets, it would be best if I could still be alive.

I wonder if my words have reminded Kenpachi Zaraki and made him kill people to silence them.

"It's up to you!"

Kenpachi Zaraki said one more sentence, continued walking, and left.

Natsuki really couldn't figure out what Kenpachi Zaraki was thinking. He had been plotting something in Rukongai, trying to use the reforms of Rukongai as a weapon, but he didn't seem to care about his conspiracy being exposed.

His thoughts flashed through his mind, and without hesitation, he continued to use his Zanpakutō in the Shikai state. In an instant, the surrounding spirit particles gathered together and poured into his body, repairing his severely injured body. Although his injuries were not fully recovered, at least his life was not in danger.

This is the ability of his Zanpakutō after his Shikai.

Absorption and manipulation of spirit particles.

In the shallow hitting state, his Zanpakutō can passively absorb the high concentration of spiritual particles in the surrounding area, and then strengthen his own spiritual power.

In the initial release state, this ability changes from passive to active.

However, the scope of the initiative is currently limited.

It can only be effective within the scarlet red area after the initial release.

This can be considered a domain and a barrier. As the battle progresses, the spiritual pressure of the enemies within it will be stolen by Xia Mu and then converted into pure spiritual particles to replenish Xia Mu's losses during the battle.

At the same time, the flying hell butterfly can also be regarded as Xia Mu’s third eye, giving Xia Mu a new perspective, which is an extension of spiritual perception.

Additionally, he can call upon his spiritual energy, transform it into a powerful defense, and focus it on his Zanpakutō, pouring it out in an instant to unleash a powerful slash.

Previously, Kenpachi Zaraki's ghost art was decomposed and absorbed by Natsuki using the power of his Zanpakuto.

But Kenpachi Zaraki's sword seems even more strange.

In addition to being able to perform multiple ghost arts at the same time and condense a high concentration of spiritual pressure on the blade, he can also silently inject his spiritual pressure into Xia Mu's body, using the spiritual pressure that contains his will to manipulate and interfere with Xia Mu's body.

Even though Xia Mu used the power of the sword to try to decompose and absorb it immediately, it still took a little time because it contained Kenpachi Zaraki's will. This little bit of time was very fatal in battle.

So, he took the blow and lost the battle.

But Xia Mu firmly believed that if he was given another chance, he would definitely not lose after knowing Kenpachi Zaraki's strange abilities.
