Shijima Chigiri's strength was beyond doubt; he definitely possessed Captain-level spiritual pressure. Yet at this moment, his sword was piercing Yamabuki's shoulder, and Yamabuki was walking forward with a sinister grin, dragging Shijima Chigiri backward despite him pushing hard against the sword hilt with both hands!
"What kind of monster is this? No wonder he could defeat a lunatic like Yachiru Unohana. This isn't even human, is it?" Shijima Chigiri's face turned red and his neck thickened.
Yamabuki didn't even draw his Zanpakutō. Instead, he extended his fist and punched Shijima Chigiri in the face, sending blood splattering. Shijima Chigiri flew dozens of meters like he was on a roller coaster, collapsing a pile of buildings along the way.
"Don't lie there playing dead. I can feel your spiritual pressure; you're not hurt! Get up and keep fighting!" Yamabuki sneered.
Shijima Chigiri struggled to crawl out of the rubble, clutching his bruised face. When he opened his mouth, he spat out several blood-stained teeth!
This is too ruthless!
They say don't hit a person in the face, so why do you specifically aim for the face?
"I didn't expect my biggest trouble tonight to be you. What's your name?" Shijima Chigiri asked with a bitter smile.
"Yamabuki, Chief of Staff of the Gotei 13."
"Chief of Staff? Isn't that a civilian position? Are all your Gotei 13 civilian personnel this strong?" Shijima Chigiri asked with a horrified expression.
"Don't just talk about me, who are you? If you don't tell me your name, I'll beat you to death, the really brutal kind." Yamabuki clenched his fist and approached step by step.
Shijima Chigiri said with a bitter expression, "My name is Shijima Chigiri, an unknown small fry. I'm just an assassin making a living, nothing big! A big shot like you probably wouldn't care about me!"
Shijima Chigiri?
The first Captain of the Fourth Division of the Gotei 13?
Yamabuki suddenly remembered that the divisional flower of the Fourth Division was the gentian.
And this person always left a gentian next to the corpse after each kill. So that's it!
As the saying goes, what you seek is found when you least expect it. Yamabuki was still wondering where to find this guy, and he actually delivered himself to his doorstep, and for free at that.
"Then I certainly can't let you go. I'll give you two choices. First, come with me obediently…" Before Yamabuki could finish, Shijima Chigiri quickly said, "I choose two!"
Then he waved his hands, and two steel spikes shot towards Yamabuki's eyes.
No matter how strong a person's defense is, it's impossible to defend the eyes. The eyeballs are the most fragile part of the human body's surface. Many people claim to be invulnerable, but no one can train invulnerability to their eyes.
However, the man who claimed to be the Chief of Staff of the Gotei 13 instantly vanished.
That was definitely not Shunpo, because no matter how fast Shunpo is, it can still be sensed. The other party had truly disappeared, the kind where even spiritual pressure couldn't be felt.
This matter had changed from a fight to a supernatural event.
Even in a place like Soul Society, which is full of dead people, souls cannot disappear into thin air.
Just as Shijima Chigiri was on high alert, a finger lightly tapped his shoulder.
Shijima Chigiri's eyes darted slightly backward. He felt the other party was behind him. He instantly turned and punched Yamabuki in the stomach.
However, Yamabuki's body only swayed slightly from the blow, then he lightly brushed off the dust on his shihakushō.
"Is that all?"
Shijima Chigiri's face turned extremely ugly, as if he had seen a ghost. What kind of monster was this? This was not a human body at all; how could its defense be so high?
Shijima Chigiri drew his sword and slashed fiercely. With his Captain-level spiritual pressure, he wasn't completely unable to harm Yamabuki. The blade, when it cut, could still leave shallow marks on Yamabuki's skin, but due to his super-regeneration, these injuries healed in less than two seconds.
Shijima Chigiri slashed over a hundred times continuously, then retreated, panting. Yamabuki stood there as if nothing had happened.
"If you're tired, it's my turn!"
Yamabuki's body once again vanished into thin air, appearing suddenly before Shijima Chigiri like a ghost, his fist sinking heavily into Shijima Chigiri's abdomen.
"Pfft!!!" Shijima Chigiri felt as if his body had been hit by a meteor falling from the sky. The moment he was struck by the fist, his body went numb. A moment later, intense pain spread throughout his body. He was truly glad he could still feel pain, because pain meant he was still alive!
A large amount of blood spurted from his mouth!
He clutched his stomach and staggered back several steps, his legs giving out as he knelt on the ground, hands tightly covering his abdomen. His eyes were bloodshot, and blood gushed from the corners of his mouth and nostrils!
"Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
"I clearly dislike troublesome things, so why did such a monster find me?"
"I forgot to tell you the second option! The second option is that I beat you up severely, then drag you back. Young people shouldn't be so impulsive; you don't even let people finish talking!" Yamabuki said with a patronizing attitude.
With that, Yamabuki reached out to grab Shijima Chigiri's collar, but Shijima Chigiri actually dodged with Shunpo.
"You still have the strength to use Shunpo, which means you're very tough! You took a punch from me and nothing happened?" Yamabuki slowly approached.
Shijima Chigiri coughed up another mouthful of blood from his mouth, then wiped the blood from his lips with his hand, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes. As the saying goes, even a cornered rabbit will bite, let alone an assassin with Captain-level strength. Yamabuki also knew that Shijima Chigiri had not used his full strength; he had been pressuring Shijima Chigiri, wanting to see what abilities the future Captain of the Fourth Division possessed.
"No choice, I can only use some forbidden techniques to deal with you!" Shijima Chigiri pulled out a few steel needles from his embrace and suddenly stabbed them into his own body.
Yamabuki stopped in his tracks.
Watching the other party self-harm.
The next second, Shijima Chigiri's spiritual pressure became extremely chaotic, and at the same time, his own spiritual pressure rapidly increased.
His entire body's veins bulged, his eyes became bloodshot and crimson, and his originally somewhat slender body swelled with astonishing muscles.
"Is that a secret technique? Stimulating your body to unleash potential, greatly increasing your strength in a short period? But it harms your body, right? Are you okay using it like this?" Yamabuki asked with a curious expression.
There was definitely a burden on his body, but Shijima Chigiri thought Yamabuki was going to kill him, so he didn't care about the side effects anymore. He directly unleashed all his potential, then killed the young man in front of him in the shortest possible time!
Just as Yamabuki was looking on with curiosity, Shijima Chigiri's body appeared before Yamabuki at an extremely fast speed, then punched him in the stomach!
