"what--"

Ryougi Shiki smiled as she looked at Kenpachi Zaraki, who had caught her sword and was no longer taking a step back. She changed her grip from one hand to both: "Well then, I'm going to get serious now. If you're not careful... you'll die!"

She was naturally aware of Kenpachi Zaraki's abilities.

The best way to defeat him is to ignore everything else and unleash all your power without restraint while you are initially stronger than him, and kill him.

But that would be boring.

What she wanted was a bloodbath.

A fierce battle between evenly matched forces!

Only now, when Kenpachi Zaraki has caught up with me... does the battle have meaning.

"Hmm—!" Kenpachi Zaraki's pupils contracted slightly, and his sword began to tremble.

murderous look--

Instantly, countless fountains of blood erupted from his body as he collapsed to the ground—Kenpachi Zaraki foresaw this future.

This isn't due to any special ability of his.

This should be considered a Ryougi Shiki.

Unrestrained, pent-up killing intent, accumulated over countless years, could even make someone witness their own death during battle—

Neither his killing intent nor his spiritual pressure was suppressed.

*Pfft*

'It's not an illusion—' Kenpachi Zaraki held his sword in front of him, a large patch of blood bursting from his shoulder.

'I can't hold on!'

Kenpachi Zaraki laughed.

The hand that caught the Ryougi Shiki blade trembled as if it were about to break.

too heavy!

*Pfft*

"What are you doing with your other hand?" Ryougi Shiki asked, brandishing her sword. "Our spiritual pressure and power should be roughly the same right now, on the same level, but—what are you doing with your other hand at this moment?"

"Hahaha—this has nothing to do with you!"

"No, how can it be none of my business!"

Another wound.

"I'm using both hands."

Chapter 1060 Victory or Defeat

"Hahaha----"

Is it funny?

Ryougi Shiki frowned.

Kenpachi Zaraki laughed loudly, ignoring the blood splattering from his own body: "Of course it's funny! I haven't laughed like this in a long time. You're using both hands? Who cares about that? What does that have to do with me!"

Kenpachi Zaraki held his sword upright in front of him and charged at Ryougi Shiki with a smile!

"What a pity! If you were stronger now, I would be the one enjoying the fight even more! Come on, there's no need to hold back! Let's fight!"

"Hmm...not bad, sounds interesting—"

boom----!

The blades clashed once again.

In an instant, the Eleventh Division's barracks were completely blown away, revealing the members watching the battle from outside.

The spiritual pressure from the collision of the blades made it hard to open one's eyes.

There is no doubt that this is a battle of beasts, and only beasts would fight in such a reckless manner.

"Ha ha ha ha----"

Kenpachi Zaraki's injuries were increasing, but he kept smiling.

The blood flowed more and more, but the spiritual pressure grew stronger and stronger—

"You hit him!"

A long, bloody gash appeared on Kenpachi Zaraki's chest, while Ryougi Shiki was also slashed in the shoulder.

"However, this feel!" Kenpachi Zaraki said, brandishing his sword while recklessly spreading his spiritual pressure and blood. "Isn't this starting to get interesting?"

......

"Is that guy immortal...?" Byakuya Kuchiki couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

Having already bled so much and suffered so many injuries, it can still move... no, it's even stronger now.

I could feel the growing sense of oppression...

Why can it still move?

He clearly suffered such injuries.

Most people, even captains, would have been unable to hold the blade by now. He had been watching the whole time, so he knew that he had been slashed more than twenty times, stabbed six times, and had countless scratches on the blade.

Although, amazingly, they all avoided the crucial points.

But so many wounds, so much blood...

How can he still fight while laughing maniacally like that?

Aren't you afraid of dying?

"Secret Sword—"

Ryougi Shiki took a step back, the blade held upright in front of her.

"Huh? What?" Kenpachi Zaraki was about to say something when he felt his vision blur for a moment.

"Swallow Returns—!"

*Pfft*

Three blades struck him heavily, and he couldn't dodge a single one.

In an instant...

Consciousness was lost.

"Hoo..." Ryougi Shiki let out a heavy sigh: "Has she collapsed...?"

"Kenpachi--" Yachiru rushed over and smiled when she saw the smile on Kenpachi Zaraki's face: "Yeah, Kenpachi had a lot of fun."

Seeing the injuries on Kenpachi Zaraki's body, Ryougi Shiki knew that she had won and there was no need to continue.

Because she could already sense that Kenpachi Zaraki was starting to weaken.

The rate at which spiritual pressure increases cannot keep up with the rate at which his physical strength decreases due to blood loss.

Although he was still laughing and in high spirits, it had actually become very difficult for him to wield the sword.

but...

'Even so, it's still not the limit...' Ryougi Shiki smiled as she looked at Kenpachi Zaraki, who still had a smile on his lips even though he was unconscious.

Compared to the very beginning of the battle, Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure had nearly doubled.

And this is not the limit.

Far from it!

He might even become twice, three, or even more powerful again!

However, there is a limit to his liberation. If he dies before the liberation is completed, he is truly dead; if he loses consciousness, he is truly unconscious.

This is similar to his battle with Unohana Yachiru... being 'killed' and 'revived' multiple times, constantly unleashing his power in the process...

However, Ryougi Shiki would not reply with such a thing.

"Are you alright, Shi?"

Ryougi Kazuya ran over, and with a slight flick of her Zanpakuto, the two wounds on Ryougi Shiki's body completely disappeared.

"Ah... thanks, Kazumi." Ryougi Shiki shook her hand, waved her arm, and said with a smile, her injuries having indeed fully recovered: "Then, let's treat this guy too."

“No, forget it.” Ryougi Kazuya turned around and said, “Hey! You two, take him to the Fourth Division.”

"Why don't you just get treatment directly?"

"No, no, I won't heal anyone other than those with healing abilities unless absolutely necessary." Ryougi Shiki glanced at Kenpachi Zaraki... especially someone like that, he should just be sent to the Fourth Division, he wouldn't try to heal anyone himself...

Moreover, his ability isn't healing at all, but rather the transfer of injuries...

Of course, there's no need to talk about this kind of thing.

"Ha, whatever you want." Ryougi Shiki sighed. "Then hurry up and send him to the Fourth Division!"

"Yes, Captain Ryougi!" the team member said, and then quickly took the stretcher that had been prepared at the beginning and sent Kenpachi Zaraki away.

"Thank you." Kusashi Yachiru said to Ryougi Shiki, "Thanks to the previous battle, Little Swordsman is very happy now~"

“Ha, that kind of thing doesn’t matter…” Ryougi Shiki thought for a moment: “Right…then let this guy be the first or third seat for now, and we’ll talk about the captain’s position when he defeats me.”

"Huh? Huh? Then, what about me, Captain?" Kano Tomie quickly stepped forward and asked.

"You... ah... who are you?" Ryougi Shiki paused for a moment, then looked at Kano Tomie's stunned face and laughed: "Haha, just kidding. You can be the fourth seat for now. Of course, if you think you are stronger than that guy and defeat him, you can be the third seat."

"...Yes! I think the fourth seat is a good position!" Kano Tomie said with a forced smile.

Just thinking about how Kenpachi Zaraki and Ryougi Shiki fought before... sent a chill down her spine. She couldn't win.

How do you fight that kind of monster?

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
