"..."
Lod was speechless.
He now knew why Ichimaru Gin liked to sneak attack when others were talking.
But it was normal to think about it.
From a fundamental point of view, Shinso's ability was meant to be used for sneak attacks, so the other party's actions were understandable.
Shua!
Another ray of cold light swept over!
However, this time, Lod was already mentally prepared. He used Hoho had dodged this sword.
"Ah ---"
A trace of distress appeared on Shinso's handsome face. He tilted his head and said, "Your reaction speed is really fast. You actually dodged it again."
"It's because your killing intent is too obvious." Lod's mouth slightly twitched. He had been tricked once, how could he not be wary of sneak attacks!
"I forgot to tell you ---"
Shinso smiled and said: "In this battle, you can't have any ability other than me, otherwise I will judge you as a failure and refuse to use Bankai from now on."
"You don't have to say it. I don't intend to use other zanpakuto." Lod seemed to have expected it to say this. There was no surprise on his face, and he clenched the short Shinso in his hand.
If this battle did not restrict him, defeating Shinso could be said to be easy!
But this was not Shinso's original intention, nor was it Lod's idea.
Zanpakuto was a product that reflected death god's inner heart, so lying to zanpakuto meant that he was lying to himself. How could a person who could even deceive himself obtain the power of his inner heart?
Kamishini no Yari is the final goal.
Shinso narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I think I'm starting to like you a little."
Clang!
Lod pulled out the short-haired sword from his waist and pointed his sharp blade at the ground. He said lightly, "It's too early to talk about liking you now. Why don't we have a deep conversation before deciding?"
"Good idea."
"I also don't like masters who are too casual." Shinso agreed.
"..."
Hu ---
A gentle breeze blew across the plains, passing through the middle of the two.
Lod and Shinso were about a hundred meters apart, and the violence caused Spiritual Power to erupt like a volcano. Accompanied by two completely different auras, they collided in the empty space between the two of them, causing the sound of tens of thousands of steel - sword clashing!
In the next instant.
Lod and Shinso were like mirror images that reflected each other, and they both made the same move.
The two of them suddenly lowered their center of gravity, and then they hid the short sword in their right hands under the hem of their clothes in their abdomen, as if they were gathering power!
Two different voices sounded almost at the same time!
"Ikorose, Shinso!"
"Ikorose ---Shinso!"
Shinso against Shinso!
At this moment, the ground was suddenly torn apart!
The wind that filled the sky was cut apart, and two streaks of silver sword's light suddenly cut through the sky. Accompanied by an extremely oppressive aura, it was like a flood that had been accumulated for a long time, violently leaking out!
As the violent wind surged, sword's tip collided!
It was like a script that had been set up a long time ago. The two of them had gone through thousands of drills. Shinso, who had been shot out by the two of them, was actually in a stalemate with sword in the middle!
This could be said to be a coincidence, but it could also be said that their hearts were connected.
Zanpakuto and death god's minds had come to an understanding. Shinso and Lod were like one, and their thoughts were naturally the same.
Combined with all the factors above, this was the reason why this 'coincidence' was created!
Clang
If one listened carefully, they would discover the horror of it.
"Not bad ---"
Shinso smiled, pursed his lips, and said softly, "But... can you be faster?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Shinso stepped on his Hoho. His long silver hair was blown away by the strong wind. His delicate face revealed a sinister expression like that of a snake. His eyes were as bright as stars, and there was a cold light surging in them. He slashed down with the sword in his hand!
It was a close combat
Although Shinso seemed to be short, due to its extremely fast speed of expansion and contraction, it could instead occupy a considerable advantage in close combat!
He absolutely could not let Shinso's sword point at him!
Otherwise, with Shinso's speed of expansion and contraction, even he himself would find it difficult to react in close combat!
But the only good news was that this was the same for the materialized Shinso.
Lod took a step forward, pressed one hand on sword's hilt, and then suddenly slashed upwards!
Pull out sword - chop!
Clang ---
The short sword crossed each other, and flames burst forth!
Their swords accompanied by the surging Spiritual Power, collided fiercely at a speed that ordinary people could not catch with their naked eyes!
The white sparks that burst forth from sword's sword, which kept on clashing against each other, splashed up in a series of metallic sounds. It was like a gorgeous firework that bloomed brilliantly, illuminating the entire space!
"It seems that our thoughts are the same." Shinso seemed to be speaking leisurely, but the sword in his hand did not stop at all. He continuously attacked Lod, and his speed became faster and faster!
The most fatal moment for Shinso was the moment when its sword pointed its tip at you!
Therefore, both of them had the same idea and wanted to aim sword's tip at each other.
Lod didn't say a word. He bent over and pulled out sword with lightning speed, pulling out an afterimage in the air.
Phew -
For a moment, the dense sword light instantly covered the entire area.
The two of them were as fast as sword. In an instant, they sent out thousands of slashes. The unbelievable power surged, crushing the ground beneath their feet into pieces.
The violent airflow filled the area around the two of them that was a hundred meters away. It was like a storm formed by thousands of sharp blades that wreaked havoc. The air even let out a sorrowful wail when sword's blades collided!
...
On the plains.
Streaks of sword light wreaked havoc like a torrential rain. The slashes crossed several hundred meters, illuminating a large area of open space. The crisp sound of sword's cries did not stop for an entire three days and two nights!
The earth was covered with visible traces of sword slashes. The rocks and mountains that could be seen with the naked eye were all cut off by sword's light that burst forth from the battle between the two of them. The fracture appeared to be as smooth as a mirror.
Clang clang clang clang...
Lod seemed to not be tired at all as he waved his sword again and again!
Even though his entire body was covered in wounds from sword at this moment, and the blood that flowed out had already condensed and turned into dark black blood scabs, and his long hair had not just drifted away, his azure blue eyes had become even brighter!
Fast!
Faster!
Even faster!
At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind!
"Ikorose, Shinso!!"
Following Shinso's low roar, a beautiful sword radiance bloomed once again!
Only this time...
Lod did not choose to avoid it. Instead, he also raised his own Shinso!
"Ikorose, Shinso!"
Puchi!
Puchi!
Lod and Shinso were pierced through at the same time, and bright red blood spilled onto the ground!
Both sides were injured!
"Not bad..."
There was a hint of approval in Shinso's eyes, and he said softly, "But this is far from enough."
Chi...
The extended sword contracted. Shinso's narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and he said with a cold smile, "You have to be careful with the next move. Don't die!"
