Most people noticed Unohana's uniqueness, but for the most part, they admired and revered her. Only Aozaki Reiji could harbor such disrespectful thoughts.
The sharp whistling of a curved blade tearing through the air, and the patter of straw sandals on the ground, reached his ears. A huge black shadow rose from below, and a demon clad in a white haori leaped into the air, descending with a curved longsword.
She violently swung her right hand, bringing the sharp longsword down in a diagonal slash.
Aozaki Reiji held his sword horizontally across his left arm, the blade pointing slightly downwards, as reddish-brown sparks slowly fell.
Unohana's left hand emerged from her sleeve.
Aozaki Reiji saw the wakizashi in her hand aiming for his upper right abdomen, where his liver was located.
Normally, let alone a sword, even a heavy punch could cause unbearable pain.
Aozaki Reiji's mind pondered for a moment, but he still decided to extend his left hand and tap the body of the wakizashi.
That wakizashi was not a Zanpakuto; it was just an ordinary sword weapon. However, in Unohana's hand, with Reiatsu imbued, it became a terrifyingly sharp, peerless weapon.
Under equal Reiatsu, a normal Shinigami would absolutely not be able to block this wakizashi with their bare body, even if Aozaki Reiji's physical constitution far surpassed that of an ordinary person.
"It seems you haven't forgotten what I taught you."
Unohana straightened up and turned around, her eyes full of killing intent. She had fully entered the state.
"Two-sword style, you personally taught me, how could I forget?"
Aozaki Reiji also looked at her with cold eyes, and with a backhand, he slashed her chest.
When discussing two-sword style in this country, it's hard not to think of a renowned swordsman—Miyamoto Jessie.
The "Niten Ichi-ryū" he founded was a two-sword technique where he held a katana in his right hand and a wakizashi in his left.
Other two-sword style techniques were largely similar, with one hand holding a katana and the other holding a smaller knife or wakizashi.
Among these, holding a small knife in the left hand and a long katana in the right was called 'Sei-Nito' (front two-sword style), while the reverse was 'Gyaku-Nito' (reverse two-sword style).
The two-sword style was actually a niche martial art, with very few people willing to learn it.
When fighting with two swords, one needs to wield the blade with a single hand, and its force is inevitably inferior compared to the two-handed swing of the one-sword style.
Furthermore, using two swords in battle can indeed easily lead to distraction and exhaustion, for as the saying goes, only with single-minded focus can one achieve victory in the instant between life and death.
Even a momentary lapse, no matter how brief, could lead to a devastating defeat!
The two-sword fighting style actually focuses more on the application of technique, relying on the unpredictable and eerie swordplay of both blades to deceive the enemy and achieve victory.
As the grand master of Soul Society's swordsmanship, Unohana naturally mastered various two-sword techniques.
The original intention behind the creation of this sword art was a bizarre and unconventional sword technique, so there was no question of whether it involved sneak attacks, and naturally, it would not anger Aozaki Reiji.
If it were normal times, he probably wouldn't be able to resist making a few teasing remarks.
However, at this moment, he clearly understood that in the current situation, saying anything inappropriate would only provoke the woman before him.
The only thing that could please her was the cold, sharp blade!
Unohana nodded slightly; this man was truly satisfying her more and more.
With a casual flick, she threw the wakizashi in her hand to the ground.
The power gap between her and Aozaki Reiji was too great, and he understood her sword techniques too well. Such moves were only useful when they were unexpected.
Continuously using a disadvantaged amount of power was not only ineffective but could also lead to her sword techniques being seen through, and would further distract her.
"Come on, it's too early for this to end!"
Unohana lightly wiped the wound on her chest, looked at the dazzling, vivid bloodstains on her hand, and a chilling smile slowly spread across her lips.
Her eyes revealed an indescribable madness and obsession, as if the fresh blood brought her endless power and pleasure.
With a low and soft call:
"Bankai, All Things' End!"
The entire scene instantly underwent a drastic change.
The previously calm atmosphere was shattered, and Minazuki and the surrounding environment suddenly began to ooze blood, like a bizarre and bloody scroll unfolding before their eyes.
The blade instantly transformed into an extensible and flexible blood-blade, emitting a suffocating aura.
In an instant, the entire world was submerged in crimson, as if plunged into a Asura hell.
The pungent smell of blood permeated the air; this bloody scent excited both madmen present.
At the same time, With a thunderous roar...
An extremely intense Reiatsu swept through like a storm, spreading in all directions.
This Reiatsu was almost tangible, shaking every inch of the land, as if even the bloody hell itself was about to be torn apart.
Through the figure holding the snow-white longsword, one could see an endless stream of Reiatsu erupting from him, surging into this crimson world.
In the blink of an eye, the world, which had just been stained crimson, was once again cloaked in a dazzling pure white.
This unimaginably powerful and terrifying Reiatsu continued to spread, and everything in its path seemed to become still.
Time seemed to stop flowing, and space appeared to be frozen.
The air throughout the entire space instantly solidified into ice, creating a heavy and oppressive sensation.
"Bankai, Shinra Bansho: Muken!"
Aozaki Reiji's voice echoed in Unohana's heart.
In the sky, a burning sun and a bright moon appeared, shining in harmony.
A palace shimmering with lightning hung high in the sky, majestic and solemn.
A fresh breeze gently blew, bringing a touch of coolness.
Surging waves violently crashed against the shore's rocks, emitting roars...
These wondrous phenomena appeared simultaneously in the same scene, forming a beautiful and magnificent spectacle, yet the terrifying power contained within it sent shivers down one's spine.
What kind of world was that!
It was tranquil, dazzling, and breathtakingly beautiful, as if possessing endless charm that drew people to lose themselves within it.
Even Unohana, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but tremble slightly and feel her scalp tingle at this moment.
"A world… How much do you truly hold within your heart, child? You truly are greedy!"
Her gaze became incredibly solemn, fixed intently forward, as if she intended to pierce through the endless void to see the truth hidden deep within.
The two of them were currently in a strange world.
A colorful and beautiful world and a bloody and terrifying hell coexisted, right beneath their feet, overlapping and intertwining.
"Isn't Retsu the same?"
Aozaki Reiji looked around, at the crimson world coexisting with his own, and said softly.
"I'm far from it."
Unohana, however, merely shook her head faintly, her tone still as calm as water.
"That great power to create a world cannot be compared to All Things' End. On the contrary, it precisely demonstrates how terrifying your ability is."
"This world you created seems no different from the real world."
