After Natsuhiko saw Madarame Ikkaku's solution, he was filled with endless fighting spirit. He stamped his feet heavily on the ground and his body appeared beside Madarame Ikkaku.
Natsuhiko will never attack from the front. His speed is an advantage. The straight-line attack time is shorter and the movements are faster. But for the physical attack type Zanpakutō, the opponent remains unchanged in response to all changes. No matter how fast you are, The other party can deal with it calmly.
In particular, Madarame's spiritual pressure is very high, already at the sixth level. Although it is only three seats, it is the spiritual pressure of the vice-captain level.
Xia Yan simply cannot beat his opponent in terms of strength, reaction speed, and frontal combat skills.
Especially when Madarame stabilizes his center of gravity and faces the front with all his strength, there are almost no flaws in the front.
So Natsuhiko attacked from the side, stabbing Madarame Ikkaku in the neck with his Zanpakutō.
But Madarame's speed was extremely fast. He turned the spear on his back with his hand as the axis, with the handle downward and the tip upward, just hitting the edge of Natsuhiko's Zanpakutō.
boom.
The huge force spread Natsuhiko's Zanpakuto, but the next moment, a short thorn appeared in Natsuhiko's left hand and stabbed Madarame Ikkaku's chest.
Natsuhiko used this move just now to force Madarame to attack, but now it has no use at all.
The tip of Madarame's knife was raised, and the handle of the knife rushed to the ground, but as his right hand turned, the handle of the knife was raised and hit Natsuhiko's short stab, swinging it away.
Natsuhiko's right hand Zanpakutō slashed flatly, and Madarame's corner was swung open with the tip of the knife.
This Madarame-shaped long knife uses its center of gravity as its axis, the tip of the knife at the front and the wooden stick at the end to constantly resist the attacks of Xia Yan's hands.
At this time, Madarame Ikkaku's method of holding the sword has changed to holding it horizontally with both hands, with the tip of the sword slightly tilted forward and upward, and the tail end slightly backward.
It's like a stick, but one end is a sharp knife.
Xia Yan tried several times to attack, but failed. The fighting method of the Erdao style was unable to defeat the opponent.
At this moment, after Madarame opened Natsuhiko's Zanpakuto, he ignored the short stab in his left hand and slashed it down.
The sharp blade struck Xia Yan's face, and Xia Yan's short thorn also stabbed his lower abdomen.
Trade injury for injury
Xia Yan frowned, his short thorn could pierce the opponent, and the blood groove on it could make the opponent bleed.
Although bleeding is fatal, the method of stopping bleeding in this world is simpler and can be easily treated with the return path.
But if he was hit, he would probably be split in half.
Xia Yan didn't dare to neglect, tiptoed a little, and jumped back.
Madarame's head missed, and the tip of the knife fell. Madarame's right foot stepped forward, and his body suddenly moved forward. Following Natsuhiko's retreating figure, he held the long knife in his right hand and stabbed forward, attacking Natsuhiko's face. .
Natsuhiko raised his Zanpakutō and placed it in front of him. With a clang, Madarame's long knife hit Natsuhiko's blade. The shock made Natsuhiko's arm go numb. The next moment, the long knife in his hand drew a circle in the air. Arc, cutting towards Xia Yan's feet.
Natsuhiko tiptoed and was in mid-air, but Madarame's long knife was raised again, the tip of the knife pointed upward, and cut towards Natsuhiko's lower abdomen.
After Ikkaku Madarame first unlocked Oni Toumaru, he first used the first form of the spear. He used the fighting skills of the long stick when defending, and used the fighting skills of the spear when attacking.
Using the position held by the right hand as the fulcrum, stabbing, drilling, sweeping, and smashing are all methods of fighting with a spear.
However, because the front part is not the tip of a spear, but a blade with a tip, two inches wide and one and a half feet long, it provides additional fighting methods such as chopping, slashing, and poking.
Coupled with the length of the spear, it can cover a wider range. Once it takes the initiative, it will be a continuous offensive.
Moreover, the distance that the arm moves is relatively short, and the gun body shakes, and it can stab four or five times in an instant, like a storm.
Xia Yan is not worried about the speed of this kind of stabbing. He can deal with it calmly with the fighting style of Erdao style.
However, the opponent's power is getting stronger and stronger. Natsuhiko has always avoided a head-on confrontation because he is afraid of Madarame's power. Now that he is holding his body, he is unable to compete.
boom.
Xia Yan's left hand was sandwiched with the short thorn, blocking the opponent's attack, but his body was knocked back more than a meter.
The power is too great.
Natsuki frowned, and the next moment, Madarame slashed forward with a long sword again.
Facing Madarame Ikkaku's long sword, Natsuhiko suddenly shot out the short thorn in his left hand and struck at Madarame Ikkaku's face.
Natsuhiko's original intention was to use a short thorn to force Madarame's corner away, to put some distance between him, and then make a plan.
However, because the spear was relatively long, it gave Madarame enough time to react. He just took a step sideways and easily dodged, but the knife in his hand still struck down.
Damn it.
Natsuhiko raised his Zanpakutō with his right hand and tried to resist, but the huge force forced the Zanpakutō to come out.
The next moment, the tip of Madarame's knife pressed against Natsuhiko's throat.
Xia Yan felt the sharpness on his neck, sighed, and admitted defeat: "Senior Ikkaku, I lost."
Madarame Ikkaku retracted his long sword, and before he could speak, a voice rang out, "To deal with a brat who has no Hakkai, he actually needs Hakkai to win. Ikkaku, you are so embarrassing to the 11th Division."
The voice sounded, and a tall man with an afro walked in from a distance. He was more than two meters tall and exuded a powerful aura. It was Zaraki Kenpachi.
"Captain, I'm sorry, I've lost the face of Division 11." Madarame Ikkaku immediately lowered his head.
He admired Zaraki Kenpachi extremely. After Ichimaru Gin, Aizen and Tosen betrayed Soul Society, Abarai Renji wanted him to take over the captain's position, but he refused and hoped to follow the captain until Die in battle.
"Bald boy, you actually lost to Xiao Yanyan. It's really outrageous."
Yachiru lay on Zaraki Kenpachi's back, exposed his little head, and laughed mercilessly.
"Vice Captain, I've told you many times not to call me Bald Boy again."
Madarame Ikkaku was very angry at Kusuka Yachiru's nickname.
Yachiru Kusuka and Ikkaku Madarame started arguing with each other, while Natsuhiko said goodbye to Kenpachi Zaraki, "Captain Zaraki, I'm leaving first."
"Get out of here, you brat who never dares to fight head-on."
Zaraki Kenpachi was disgusted with Natsuhiko's fighting style. He never dared to fight head-on and always attacked the enemy's weak points. Such a battle was not interesting at all.
According to Zaraki Kenpachi, a real battle should involve killing each other!
Xia Yan turned around and left the team building of the 11th Division, walked far away, thinking about his current combat power.
Through the two-sword style, he can defeat Madarame Ikkaku, who does not apply to the first form of the first form, but he cannot beat the first form of the first form.
But Xia Yan has not used Kidō yet. In these nine months, Xia Yan has merged Kidō with Shunpo and Hakuda Swordsmanship to form a melee combat technique. Although it is not as powerful as Shunpo, it can still improve his strength. Taking it up a notch, Madarame Ikkaku can contend even if he uses his three-section stick form.
It's just that Team 11 hardly uses Kidō in combat. Xia Yan was testing his own melee combat skills, so he didn't use it.
Madarame doesn't know how to swastika yet, but his strength at the top of the three seats is undoubted. He is not as good as Rangiku Matsumoto, the strongest three seats at the moment, but he is still capable of fighting among the vice-captains.
The same is probably true of his true strength, which is about three seats strong and can compete with some vice-captains.
This kind of strength is no longer weak for Xia Yan, who is about to officially graduate in one week.
That's right, Xia Yan will graduate next week, ending his life as a college student.
