"Roar, Shebimaru."
Renji Abarai held the sword in his right hand and brushed the back of the sword with his left hand. The next moment, the Zanpakuto changed its shape and became a double-edged snake-belly sword.
Like a machete, six saw teeth extend from it, with a total of seven sections.
After liberation, Abarai Renji held a long knife and slashed at Natsuhiko.
Xia Yan tiptoed and dodged easily, falling behind.
But just as his feet landed, the knife in Renji Abarai's hand suddenly lengthened, and the blades flew out, connected with each other by the steel cable, and slashed towards Natsuhiko.
Xia Yan swayed slightly to avoid the blow, but Shebimaru suddenly rolled around Xia Yan. Three blades connected to the steel rope surrounded Xia Yan and moved towards the center.
Just when the blade was about to touch Xia Yan's skin, Xia Yan disappeared and jumped up.
In mid-air, Shebimaru below spiraled up again and strangled Xia Yan.
But Natsuhiko stepped lightly on the blade, and his body suddenly disappeared, and he came to Abarai, with the Zanpakutō in his hand across his neck.
"I lost."
Renji Abarai put down the knife in his hand dejectedly, and Shebimaru returned to his knife-fighting appearance.
Xia Yan smiled and said: "It's already pretty good. After two years in the team, you can master the initial solution."
Renji Abarai smiled bitterly and said: "Even Hajie is still not as good as you, and I can't even touch the corner of your clothes."
Xia Yan shook his head and said: "Your Shebiwan is very powerful, but there is a drawback. It can only hit three times from a distance and must be withdrawn. So I take this opportunity to attack you so that I can take the initiative."
Renji Abarai looked surprised and asked: "How did you discover it? I only used it once."
Naturally, Xia Yan couldn't say that I had read your initial explanation. He just said: "Because of the gap between attacks, you did not encircle me after the third extension. I guess you were unable to carry out the fourth attack."
Renji Abarai nodded and said, "I see."
"Okay, it's my turn."
A figure not far away came forward, came to Xia Yan, smiled and said: "Xia Yan, we haven't fought for a long time."
The visitor was none other than Madarame Ikkaku, the third seat of the 11th Division, and Natsuhiko was currently in the 11th Division. Two years had passed since Renji Abarai's fate was changed and he directly entered the 11th Division.
Now he is a rising star that has attracted much attention in the 11th Division. Even Kenpachi Zaraki has high hopes. He trains with Madarame Ikkaku all day long, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
At this time, Xia Yan was already twenty years old. He had joined the secret mobile force for six years, and Abarai and others had also graduated for two years.
But Natsuhiko still hasn't mastered Shikai. He doesn't know why the Zanpakutō has never been able to recognize him.
Xia Yan was very distressed, but he could only improve his strength step by step. He became extremely proficient in Shunpo Haku's swordsmanship and ghost ways.
As for the instant coax, Zaihou has completed the coordination of Kidou's explosion and body, but how to integrate it with Bai Da to form unique combat skills still needs to be explored, but the distance from complete completion is probably only a matter of one or two years.
However, Xia Yan has mastered some techniques of instant coaxing, such as concentrating on his legs to increase speed and concentrating on his arms to increase strength.
Of course, Xia Yan regarded this move as a secret skill and was reluctant to use it.
Madarame Ikkaku stood in front of Natsuhiko, put the scabbard on the handle of the sword, and shouted in a low voice: "Stretch it out, Kitomaru."
The Zanpakutō turned into a long sword, and Madarame Ikkaku continued to shout: "Break it apart, Oni Toumaru."
As he finished speaking, the long knife split open and turned into a three-section stick, but one of them had a blade in addition to the stick.
Madarame Ikkaku held the first section with his left hand and the bladed section with his right hand. He lunged forward and stared at Natsuhiko.
Seeing this scene, Natsuhiko drew out his Zanpakuto, stepped on the ground with his toes, and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was in front of Madarame Ikkaku.
"So fast."
Madarame's eyes narrowed, and he grasped the end of the nunchuck with his left hand and raised it, blocking it in front of the knife.
boom.
The Zanpakutō struck the three-section stick, making a muffled sound. The next moment, the first section of Madarame's right hand stabbed Natsuhiko's face.
Natsuhiko didn't dodge, he withdrew his Zanpakutō and struck everything horizontally.
clang.
This was the sound of Xia Yan hitting the blade, stopping the opponent's stabbing.
Madarame's left stick struck out again, pointing at Natsuhiko, but was blocked by Natsuhiko's Zanpakuto.
Madarame Ikkaku stretched out his hands and kept attacking with sticks and knives, but they were all blocked.
But Natsuhiko didn't attack. He only used a knife to block Madarame's attacks from the left and right.
Madarame changed his attack method and used a three-section stick to attack Natsuhiko, but Natsuhiko reacted quickly and dodged it calmly.
The two fought for more than a hundred moves, and there was no winner. Madarame Ikkaku took a step back and said, "If we don't fight, I still can't beat you."
Natsuhiko smiled and said, "But I can't beat Madarame Ikkaku-senpai."
"is that so?"
Madarame Ikkaku withdrew his Zanpakutō, sighed, and said: "Five and a half years ago, you challenged me and used the Two-Sword Style to force out my first form. You lost. Two years ago, you used the Two-Sword Style to force out my first form. In the three-section stick form, you and I are evenly matched. But now, you can fight me with all your strength with one sword, and I am no match for you.”
Natsuhiko's current strength, even without Kidou and Nitoryu, is already on par with Madarame Ikkaku.
This is due to the fact that Xia Yan undergoes special training every week with Captain Broken Bee. His fighting skills are getting stronger and stronger, and he is even more proficient in Shunpo, which the covert mobile unit is good at. Among all the deputy captains, his mobility and attack speed are unparalleled. People can compare with Xia Yan.
Compared with a Shinigami like Madarame Ikkaku who is good at frontal combat, his speed has a huge advantage.
Moreover, Madarame's Zanpakutō is a direct attack type and cannot have additional strength or speed. It is not even as diverse as Abarai Renji's Haigai.
If he were to deal with Matsumoto Rangiku's Haimako Haimako, Natsuhiko's current performance would be difficult for him to deal with even with the two-sword style.
Including the future Kaikai of Izuru Kira, the Kaiyan of Shiba Haiyan and the Kaicho of Takuchojiro, Natsuhiko also has some difficulty in dealing with it.
Natsuhiko said to Madarame Ikkaku, "But I haven't mastered Hajime yet."
Madarame Ikkaku said with a smile: "Maybe your Hakkake is particularly powerful."
"hope so."
Xia Yan felt a little depressed in his heart. He knew that his strength would reach a higher level again as he completely mastered Shunhu.
However, Shunku is an extension of Bai Da's technique, and what Natsuhiko hopes is to be able to master the Zanpakutō.
But seven years have passed since he got the Zanpakutō, and he still can't figure it out. Xia Yan is already very discouraged.
Why are sixth-level spiritual pressure and deputy-captain level strength still not recognized
Renji Abarai has mastered the first release, Hisagi Shuhei has mastered the first release, why can't he do it himself
When Xia Yan thought of this, he felt a little discouraged. He bowed towards Madarame Ikkaku and said: "Ikkaku-senpai, if everything is okay, I will go back first."
Abarai Renji came over and put his arms around Natsuhiko's shoulders and said, "Don't leave. Let's go drinking later. I'll treat you."
Xia Yan waved his hand and said, "Forget it for today, I have to go back to handle official business."
"All right."
Renji Abarai nodded and said with a smile: "Then we will be stronger next time we meet."
"Um."
Xia Yan was looking forward to it. After saying goodbye, he walked to the door and was about to go out, but was blocked by a figure in front of him.
"Little Guitou, your strength has already exceeded a certain point?"
Zaraki Kenpachi looked down at Xia Yan, with a sinister smile on his lips.
Natsuhiko replied humbly: "Captain Zaraki, I just barely tied with Ikkaku-senpai."
"No, you are indeed stronger than him."
Zaraki Kenpachi grinned and said, "So, I will be your opponent today."
Will Zaraki Kenpachi be his opponent
What is he talking about? How can he defeat him? Even if he uses incomplete instant coaxing, he can't defeat him.
Xia Yan quickly said: "Captain Zaraki, how can I be your opponent, please still"
Before Xia Yan could finish speaking, he could only stop talking with a look of fear on his face.
In front of Xia Yan, Zaraki Kenpachi raised the sword in his hand high, with a sinister smile on his lips, and said: "Hypocritical brat, since you are not my opponent? Then you will have no choice but to die here."
Following Zaraki Kenpachi's words, the long sword in his hand suddenly fell and struck Xia Yan's head.
