Perhaps it was because her swordsmanship was so advanced that even a casual strike possessed immense power, or perhaps it was her unique understanding that allowed her to refine these techniques into a single, decisive blow perfectly suited to her.
But this is precisely what she lacks on the path of swordsmanship! Realizing this, Unohana Retsu's sword intent surged, her slit-covered haori moved without wind, and a vast and murderous phantom appeared behind her like an illusion.
boom.
The ground cracked, and rubble was thrown up by the sword intent.
"Eight Thousand Streams Secret Technique: Earth Shadow Stone Demon Slayer!"
"The Ultimate Technique of the Three-Sword Style: Azure Dragon's Roar Flowing Water!"
At the same time, a lifelike, transparent cyan dragon shadow enveloped Aizen and charged diagonally towards him.
The phantom of fighting spirit was instantly assimilated into a yellowish-brown color resembling rock and soil, adhering to the blade, and then slashed forward.
Boom! The entire secret base trembled, and the barrier emitted a mournful cry as it could not bear the strain.
Clang
The two passed each other.
Aizen groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Behind him, Unohana Retsu's body went limp and she almost knelt down, but she managed to prop herself up with her sword to avoid making a fool of herself.
Aizen, still standing, felt a burning pain throughout his body. Without actively releasing his spiritual pressure to protect himself, this kind of attack was capable of breaking through his protective spiritual pressure. Enduring the pain, Aizen turned around and looked at this... the First Kenpachi, who had shone brightly in the original work.
"So powerful! This swordsmanship is truly terrifying."
talent."
With just a single hint, the opponent actually broke through the cultivation realm and swordsmanship in the heat of battle.
Its unique characteristics have created its own distinctive moves. Even if that move is still in its infancy, once it is fully perfected, it will undoubtedly become an ultimate sword technique.
Zoro's swordsmanship.
The core style is ferocity, expressed as demons and beasts.
This move, "Azure Dragon's Roar"
This means capturing the "momentum" of the dragon.
"fierce"
It incorporates the core of berserk swordsmanship.
Unohana Retsu's move utilizes the "hardness" of earth and stone.
"thick"
Furthermore, this is combined with his swordsmanship, which is centered on killing intent.
风格.
"But I still lost."
After a long while, Unohana Retsu, having regained some strength, turned around, leaning on her sword, and spoke frankly. Her eyes, which had previously been either gentle and soft or brimming with murderous intent, were now incredibly bright.
Nominally, his level of swordsmanship has reached the tenth stage, but in reality, it is a swordsmanship that has exceeded the limit.
How could a genius like Retsu Unohana not recognize the "Azure Dragon's Roar Flowing Water" technique?
Its characteristics.
No matter how fierce or imposing this move may be, in reality, this ultimate technique of the Three-Sword Style has absolutely no offensive power.
Does Aizen look down on women?
With a graceful movement, she sat down on the spot. Retsu Unohana, her demeanor now back to normal, braided her hair again and spoke with a dangerous smile: "You dare to use only the back of your blade for this move? Are you so confident that the technique I created can't break through your attack?"
Looking at this cunning woman, Aizen silently took out his spare glasses and started fixing his hair without saying a word.
Are you kidding me? I was injured when the four swords clashed together!
The actual effect of Unohana Retsu's move, as translated by Aizen, was this: "If you have the guts, dodge it. If you dare to confront it head-on, I'll kill you even if you try to block it!" If it weren't for Aizen's immense strength, and instead it were one of the Captains like Kyoraku Shunsui, disregarding the special rules of the D-release, their spiritual pressure in that state against Unohana's normal spiritual pressure would have resulted in at least serious injury.
Under equal conditions, if you fight head-on and survive, you can say you're lucky.
If Retsu Unohana had known this move back then, she wouldn't have lost to Kenpachi Zaraki.
Her swordsmanship was impressive, but in terms of spiritual pressure, Kenpachi Zaraki was definitely stronger than Retsu Unohana.
Of all the known Shinigami throughout history, aside from Yamamoto and Aizen himself, Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure is arguably the strongest. In terms of spiritual pressure alone, his limits have definitely reached the "Shinigami limit."
Add to that Kenpachi Zaraki... Beasts never play by the rules, they're always willing to trade blows.
Unohana's fierceness is unpredictable; no matter how strong her skills are, she cannot gain a significant advantage.
0 doesn't mean that sword pressure or two-handed sword techniques are weak.
From a purely destructive power perspective, the so-called "Three-Sword Style Secret Technique"
It might not be as effective as a casual slash from Aizen, but the strength of this type of technique lies in its quality.
Sword pressure is something that naturally arises when one's swordsmanship reaches the level of Murasaki Rin and combines it with spiritual pressure, just like how swordsmen in the One Piece world can cut through iron.
But no matter how amazing the swordsman's sword energy is, he will still be forced to kneel down when faced with Hawkeye's ordinary, unremarkable slash.
To put it more abstractly, one is the formula for calculating the actual effect of skill, strength, and foundation, which can be obtained through materialistic calculations. On the other hand, the so-called momentum, killing intent, the breath of all things, fighting spirit, etc., belong to the realm of idealism.
Note: This fighting spirit is not the same as that fighting spirit. It is a manifestation of a belief or will. Looking at Unohana Retsu, who seemed to have let go of something and was several times more relaxed, Aizen probably knew that she had also regained her confidence in the way of the sword.
Soon, the two silently tidied themselves up, and the refined and gentle handsome man and the sweet and quiet beautiful woman were reborn.
What... those ambitious, beast-like schemers and hellish madmen? No, no, no, those are all illusions.
Hmm, an illusion I've never had before.
"Alright, Aizen-kun, you can ask me any questions you want to ask."
"First, what is your true opinion of the Soul Society?"
Chapter 84 Invasion from Another World? 4/8
"Um"
Retsu Unohana raised her eyebrows and said in a meaningful tone, "It seems that Aizen-kun really does have a hidden purpose."
Aizen, who had already revealed much of his true nature in front of this woman, smiled indifferently.
Aren't you even a little bit afraid that I'll betray you?
Seeing this, it was now Unohana's turn to be curious.
Aizen, with a calm and unperturbed expression, glanced at the other person and asked, "Can you?"
"You never know."
Unohana Retsu said with a playful smile.
Seeing the woman's mischievous expression, Aizen became even more certain that she wouldn't reveal any information about him.
Of course, Aizen himself wasn't worried at all about what the other party might reveal.
Under Kyoka Suigetsu's control, Aizen could make sure that what others heard was different from what she said.
Even if Retsu Unohana did leak information while I wasn't looking, the Soul Society wouldn't just believe one side of the story and "2".
Arrest him on baseless accusations, as long as it's not immediate.
Convicting him would be easy, but given Aizen's control over the Central 46, he could always manage to salvage the situation.
At that point, Unohana's foolish actions will only further enrage Aizen.
"It seems Aizen-kun is quite confident."
Having gleaned the answer from the other person's expression, Unohana Retsu shook her head and replied in a soft voice, "The Spirit Court, to me, was once an organization that allowed for legitimate killing."
Now, it is a place where we can live in peace; as for what will happen in the future, who knows?”
As expected! Aizen's expression was knowing.
Retsu Unohana was recruited by Yamamoto and joined the Gotei 13, but that doesn't mean she has to fight for the Gotei 13. Joining and complete submission are two different things.
This is the difference between company employees and royal bodyguards.
Aizen had actually guessed this, but he still wanted to confirm it a little.
"Secondly, if I do anything against the rules of the Soul Society in the future, what action will you take?"
"Ha, I'm just a medical team leader."
This simple sentence perfectly illustrates Retsu Unohana's attitude and stance.
Aizen easily grasped the information conveyed by those words.
First of all, no matter what Aizen does in the future, Unohana Retsu will only fulfill her responsibilities as a high-ranking doctor, but other matters are none of her concern.
Secondly, she promised Aizen not to reveal his information, so she would naturally keep her word. Similarly, since she joined the Gotei 13, she is a member of the Gotei 13.
For a woman like this to say such things, Aizen silently gave up the idea of recruiting her.
Saying such things would only bring shame upon oneself.
As for relying on deception to get rid of them, they're skilled in swordsmanship.
Every true master of the sword is inevitably a fanatic at heart, possessing their own judgment and attitude towards many things.
Based on this, Aizen thought for a moment and then raised a question that was of particular concern to him.
Six years ago, the band leader of the Peking Opera Troupe talked to me about something.
He said Soul Court would be carrying out a major operation, then he said it would take several years. Do you understand what this means?
"You asked this as your last question?"
Retsu Unohana looked at Aizen, who was standing in the pile of rubble, with a strange expression.
She thought the other party would ask how she could possibly work for them, or that they would reveal some secret information about Soul Society.
Unfortunately, she was unaware that Aizen knew far more about the secrets of Soul Society than she did.
"certainly."
"Alright then, it's not a very secretive issue. Strictly speaking, any captain is entitled to know."
Shaking her head, Unohana didn't ask any further questions, but slowly began to tell what she knew.
"Actually, this matter dates back to more than two hundred years ago, almost three hundred years ago."
"At first, some strange creatures suddenly appeared in the world. These monsters were short, ugly, and generally not very intelligent."
"Later, according to the investigation, those monsters came from a black hole gate that appeared out of nowhere above the East China Sea. There are three teleportation light curtains around the black hole gate, which will transfer them to the nearest continent."
One part is the real Japan, one part is the Kyushu continent to the west, and the other part is currently unknown.
"When a monster that lands in Japan is killed, the killer will receive a negligible increase in power."
It wasn't just the Shinigami who discovered this; the demons of the mortal world also noticed it. Right, the demons of the mortal world are… Hearing Aizen's strange and astonished expression, he interrupted, "I know about demons, continue."
Retsu Unohana glanced at Aizen, nodded, and continued, "Then the news was jointly blocked by both sides, and a barrier was set up around the coast. Afterwards, the high-end combat forces of both sides carried out a cleanup of the monsters that landed in Japan. Seven days later, the strange black hole gate in the East China Sea disappeared."
"And the ordinary Grim Reapers who were originally aware of the situation had their memories erased immediately."
"No matter how much investigation was conducted afterward, no clues were found regarding the origin of that black hole portal."
"We thought that was the end of it, but a century later, the same thing happened again, and this time it lasted for a full two weeks."
"It was then that we realized things might not be resolved in one go, and perhaps on the other side of the black hole gate lies a special world, just like Hueco Mundo."
"A hundred years later, the black hole portal reappeared in that place, and the third time it took twice as long, reaching a month."
In addition, there are...
According to Retsu Unohana's account, Aizen felt his worldview was slightly shattered.
It sounds more like an invasion from another world.
That's not right either. The core of the monster-killing and power-up strategy seems to be leveling up by killing monsters! It's just that the monsters being killed are too low-level, while the people killing them are all high-level characters, so the experience gain is almost non-existent.
This feels like a game world.
The monster Unohana described sounded exactly like a goblin, so much so that Aizen's expression was one of utter astonishment. Unohana Retsu thought he was shocked by the secret.
Aizen smiled wryly to himself; he was indeed taken aback.
But considering how bizarre this world is already, it's not surprising that a game world could invade Earth, let alone a bunch of low-level goblins.
