Yoruichi, with her unparalleled Body Flicker Technique, moved like a ghost across the battlefield.
Her figure became a series of black afterimages, each flash accompanied by a sharp claw strike, the tips of her claws wreathed in eerie green spiritual energy, seemingly capable of tearing through space.
Soi Fong, meanwhile, was completely focused, her eyes fixed on Fang Xian. The "Suzumebachi Raiko Whip" trembled slightly in her hand, emitting a low buzzing sound.
In an instant, countless whip shadows, shimmering with blue-purple lightning, shot out from the tip of the "Suzumebachi," like a swarm of angry lightning snakes, lashing wildly at Fang Xian with ear-piercing shrieks. Wherever they passed, the air was torn apart, leaving twisted marks.
However, Fang Xian remained calm, his eyes showing no fear.
He gently raised his hand, palm facing forward, and an invisible yet incredibly powerful energy shield instantly unfolded.
Yoruichi's claw struck the shield, creating only a ripple before being easily neutralized.
Soi Fong's Raikou Whip lashed the shield, crackling and sparking, but failing to penetrate even an inch.
Immediately afterward, Fang Xian thrust his palm forward, unleashing a terrifying recoil force like a tidal wave.
Yoruichi and Soi Fong had no time to react before being violently blasted away by this force. Their bodies streaked across the sky like meteors, crashing heavily to the ground some distance away, kicking up clouds of dust.
Just then, Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division, appeared like a white lightning bolt beside Soi Fon and Yoruichi in an instant.
Unohana Retsu wore a loose-fitting white shihaka uniform, her figure slender, and her movements exuding an elegant charm.
Her face was gentle, her eyes curved, radiating a serene aura.
Her long, jet-black hair was casually tied back, a few strands falling across her cheeks, adding a touch of softness.
She knelt on one knee, gently helping the two to their feet, her eyes filled with tenderness and concern, her usually gentle face now veiled in frost.
She extended her slender hand, spiritual energy gathering at her fingertips, transforming into a soft light, which she slowly channeled into Soi Fon and Yoruichi's bodies, attempting to alleviate their injuries.
"Yoruichi, Soi Fong... don't speak, rest well."
Unohana Retsu's voice was gentle, a hint of self-reproach flashing in her eyes, as if she hadn't arrived in time, causing them to suffer such severe injuries.
After confirming that Soi Fong and Yoruichi's injuries had temporarily stabilized, Unohana Retsu slowly stood up and turned to face Fang Xian.
Fang Xian looked at Unohana Retsu, then used "Eye of Insight."
[Name: Unohana Retsu
Age: 35
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance: 92
Body: 93
Height: 165cm
Character: Impeccable
Affection: -100]
Unohana Retsu's eyes were calm, radiating a gentle spiritual energy.
She didn't rush into a fierce attack, but instead used her own spiritual energy to buff her teammates.
She slowly raised her hands, spiritual energy gathering in her palms. Streams of soft light flowed from her hands, drifting towards her teammates, healing their wounds from the previous battle and enhancing their defenses.
Having done all this, Unohana Retsu's eyes instantly sharpened, her once gentle gaze now burning with flames of rage.
Her lips trembled slightly, her teeth clenched, as if suppressing the rage within her.
"Fang Xian, you attacked our Seireitei and injured my comrades!"
Unohana Retsu's voice was low and cold, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth.
"Today, you must pay the price for your actions!"
Her spiritual energy surged, her previously peaceful aura gradually replaced by a powerful fighting spirit. The wind gently ruffled her long hair, her clothes fluttering, and she exuded a chilling majesty.
Unohana Retsu once thought she had let go of her blood-stained past, but today, to protect her comrades, to protect Seireitei, she unhesitatingly picked up that blood-stained blade once more.
Unohana Retsu's gaze was fixed on Fang Xian, her spiritual energy suddenly surging as she resolved to unleash her Bankai.
"All Extinction."
With her soft yet resolute whisper, the atmosphere of the entire battlefield instantly changed.
Spiritual energy surged from her, spreading in a raging crimson wave that dyed the earth an eerie red, filling the air with a chilling stench of blood.
Her Zanpakuto completely transformed, becoming a massive, eerily glowing blood-red blade, its surface adorned with runes that seemed to whisper death incantations.
Unohana Retsu's eyes were calm yet resolute. Wielding the blood-red blade, she moved with ghostly speed before Fang Xian, slashing down.
Where the blood-red blade passed, space itself seemed to cleave, leaving a long trail of blood in the air.
Fang Xian remained composed, raising his hand to create an "energy shield."
Unohana Retsu's blood-red blade struck the shield heavily, sparks flying, the powerful impact cracking the ground and sending dust billowing into the air.
She didn't stop; her blood-red blade swirled, attacking Fang Xian like a crimson whirlwind. Each strike contained world-destroying power, yet none could break through Fang Xian's "energy shield."
Fang Xian watched Unohana Retsu's attacks with interest, finding the Gotei 13's Bankai quite intriguing.
Compared to the Breathing Techniques of the Assassins and the curses of the Jujutsu Masters, Bankai was far more powerful.
And indeed, this was the case, which was why the Gotei 13 had always been the strongest force in the Spirit World.
However, the Gotei 13 differed from the former two; one couldn't become a member through training.
Only those who were citizens of the Gotei 13 possessed Zanpakuto.
With a Zanpakuto, one could use Bankai and become a member of the Gotei 13.
Therefore, the Gotei 13 was more cohesive than the Assassins or Jujutsu Masters, which allowed them to maintain their position as the world's strongest force.
Thinking this, Fang Xian secretly lamented that without a Zanpakuto, watching more was pointless.
Since that's the case, it's time to end this pointless farce.
He casually waved his hand, and black energy formed from "Chaotic Power" shot out like lightning.
Unohana Retsu gathered her spiritual power, unleashing a terrifying blood-red blade.
The crimson spiritual power and the black energy collided wildly in mid-air, flashing light and deafening roar.
But in the blink of an eye, the blood-red blade shattered and vanished into thin air.
"Boom!"
Unohana Retsu, seeing this, knew she was in trouble. Such a fierce attack was clearly unavoidable.
But in an instant, the black energy suddenly changed direction, brushing past her and disappearing into the horizon.
"You…"
She could naturally see that Fang Xian had done this intentionally; otherwise, she would already be a corpse.
"You… what do you mean?"
Fang Xian looked at Unohana Retsu and smiled slyly.
"Of course I can't kill you, because soon you will become my
—wife."
Unohana Retsu:....
