After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

Martin's face was a mixture of red and white. He suddenly exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling pain in his chest and testicles.

Looking closer at his chest, near his heart, there were five clear red scratches, indicating that the golden iron block defense had been breached.

That guy's attack is incredibly powerful!

This seems to be the first time my golden iron block has shown signs of being breached.

His opponent gave him no chance to retaliate, not even the chance to use his Zanpakuto. His body became invisible, and he continued to launch attacks at close range. His pair of bright red claws struck his chest.

It burned like fire!

Martin was forced back again by the immense force of the claws, and this time the opponent followed closely behind, pouncing directly on him.

Whack whick whick whick...

The sound of sharp blades striking stone echoed continuously. Martin was repeatedly struck by the enormous force, his body swaying left and right, his steps faltering, and he had no way to stand still.

The female ghost was also elusive, attacking vital points one second and flying overhead the next. Each claw possessed immense power, making it difficult to defend against; it was truly a perfect combination of speed and strength.

This was the first time he had encountered someone with such bizarre strength. The other person was only slightly weaker than him and particularly enjoyed close-quarters combat.

This form appears and disappears at will, as elusive as a vengeful ghost.

At that moment, his Observation Haki failed him.

The other party was as disgusting as a demon, completely unpredictable.

Yes, this thing is a ghost that appears and disappears unpredictably.

The opponent, who possessed the ability to perceive the sounds and sounds of all things through Observation Haki, was completely unable to sense the opponent's sneak attack.

"Girl, may I ask what you ate to grow up like this? What does a female ghost need to do with so much strength? What male ghost would dare to marry you? You're going to be a victim of domestic violence..."

Martin couldn't help but complain.

That's utter nonsense!

Even the most effective hypnosis techniques failed!

You think you're some kind of general?

Come on, if you've got the guts, stop with those underhanded tricks like the monkey stealing peaches and face me head-on.

Watch me kill him with my sharpshooter!

Chapter 139 Is this how melee combat is played?

Bang!

Under the opponent's powerful claw strikes, Martin was finally knocked down by the immense force of Death Princess, and the rocks beneath his feet shattered as a result.

"Such speed, such powerful attack, this is comparable to the strongest martial arts master."

At this moment, his whole body was covered in red claw marks, his clothes and pants were torn to shreds, and his underwear was also tattered, leaving him almost completely naked.

The opponent's attacks were extremely swift and powerful, with each claw possessing immense force; fortunately, his steel blocks were able to barely defend against them.

My whole body aches, and many key areas are burning with pain.

He could swear on his chest that this female ghost was definitely not a decent woman. Her attacks were so vicious and ruthless that she must be a scoundrel, with every move aimed at a vital point.

Is this how you play melee combat?

They've come up with all sorts of underhanded tricks!

The female demon was very wary of her Zanpakuto and dared not confront it head-on, otherwise it would have been really difficult to fight her.

Wait a minute, where's my Zanpakuto?

Martin then realized that during the fierce attack, all his Zanpakuto had been thrown away by his opponent in a way that was completely undetectable, and even the Zanpakuto in his hand had been thrown aside by a strange means.

What the hell is this? Is it a Devil Fruit ability?

Up!

A cold wind blew behind him, and he suddenly stood up and threw a punch.

However, there was no one behind him, only air, and he could not sense any ghostly presence around him.

"After repeated unsuccessful attacks, have you switched to tactics, or are you just tired and going to rest?"

Martin adjusted his breathing, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings. Apart from the depletion of his blood and energy, his condition was still the same as at the beginning, almost at his peak. His body did not suffer much damage, only many superficial wounds.

However, as his blood energy circulated, the claw marks on his body were slowly disappearing...

His eyes scanned his surroundings, not wanting to miss a single detail, while the surrounding streets were deserted, with only a few red candles casting their red glow.

"What exactly are you trying to do? Are you looking for an opportunity to ambush me?"

Martin squinted.

Of course, the iron block also has its own defenses, namely the seven orifices, among which the eyes are the most vulnerable to attack, so he has always been very careful to protect his eyes.

call!

Suddenly,

A cold wind swept in.

Suddenly, a pair of arms covered in sharp claws reached out from behind him, aiming directly at his eyes. The sharp nails were instantly within reach, leaving him no way to avoid them.

Martin immediately closed his eyes. The claw only left five red claw marks on his face. However, the other party had a backup plan. With a twist of its claws, it gripped his neck tightly.

Suddenly, a tremendous force began to strangle his neck.

The force was immense, like two giant iron clamps, capable of easily snapping steel in two by the seemingly pale and thin woman's hands.

The other person's hands were very cold, extremely cold, with wisps of chill constantly invading Martin's vigorous body, indicating that the female ghost's yin energy was extremely strong. An ordinary person would have been immediately invaded by this chill.

Faced with such overwhelming power, Martin, his face flushed, laughed, a laugh that revealed two rows of white teeth.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed the woman's hands, which were icy cold, that were clasped around her neck.

I've got you!

He stomped his foot suddenly, and the divine spear flew up from the ground, which he caught.

Look at the knife.

The sharp spear suddenly pierced the opponent's body.

sizzle...

As a Zanpakuto, the Divine Spear has a clear restraining effect on demons, immediately causing the female demon to tremble all over and let out an extremely piercing scream.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the other person's icy hands were almost scorched, a wisp of black smoke rose from them, and they slipped away from Martin's hands, as slippery as two eels.

Martin was about to launch a pursuit.

However, his opponent was faster than him, appearing behind him and slashing down with sharp claws, directly piercing his forehead.

A powerful force struck his head, causing him to stagger back several steps, feeling dizzy, numb, and somewhat uncomfortable.

It's nothing serious.

However, the other party disappeared again.

Momousagi and Monet watched anxiously from afar. Anyone could see that Martin was at a disadvantage, but they could hardly see any signs of the Corpse Princess making a move, so they could only watch helplessly.

"This Nine Yin White Bone Claw is damn powerful, it's practically a ghost version of Mei Chaofeng." Martin wished he could spit in the other person's face.

Fighting a female ghost with such perfect speed and strength would be a real disadvantage.

This thing is too fast, like a Sonic the Hedgehog. No matter how fast I go, I'll still be slower than it.

Most importantly, this thing was wrapped around him, giving him no chance to use his Zanpakuto.

Ugh!

The female ghost suddenly appeared behind him and swung her claw out again, this time with greater force, striking him directly in the back.

Martin was nearly knocked over by the force of that claw.

She was indeed a female demon capable of defeating a general, and there was no trace of her. I must find an opportunity to kill her with my Zanpakuto.

Immediately afterwards, the female ghost with crimson eyes suddenly climbed onto his shoulder, and her fingernails once again pierced his eyes.

He closed his eyes again.

Roar……

The female ghost had no other choice but to let out a beast-like roar and began to frantically claw at her opponent, relentlessly scratching at his back of the head, temples, groin, armpits, eyelids, and other areas.

Snap snap snap snap...

Under the continuous heavy blows, Martin felt his blood energy was running low, his mouth tasted very bloody, and blood couldn't help but flow from the corner of his mouth.

He now understood why the leader of CP0 was comparable to a Marine Admiral.

Now, apart from Zanpakuto, there is almost no ability that can harm the opponent. Even Armament Haki is ineffective because the opponent in demon form has almost no physical form and possesses a certain ghostly attribute, so Haki cannot grasp the opponent's body at all.

Death Princess's claws grew faster and heavier, frantically scratching red marks onto Martin's body with her sharp red nails.

Squeak!

Finally, as the opponent's claws swept across, five bloody gashes appeared on Martin's chest, and scalding blood immediately flowed out.

He simply took the initiative to remove the steel block from its original state.

Upon seeing this, Death Princess opened her mouth and let out a scream, seemingly overjoyed.

His eyes blazed with red light, and the red fingernails on his arms emitted an unusual glow. His body soared high into the air, and his hands reached out to grab the opponent's chest.

Hiss!

The claws roared as they ripped out the other's heart.

Hey!

That's exactly the move I've been waiting for.

The opponent was too fast; Martin had no way to keep up or dodge.

He didn't intend to dodge.
