Chapter 499

However, precisely because of this, this battle would become even fairer.

"Captain Zaraki, although I am not a ninja who specializes in taijutsu and sword techniques, if I want to make you submit, it seems I can only hack at you, right?"

Seeing the plain and unremarkable Zanpakutō in Senju Xingye's hand, Zaraki Kenpachi's expression became even more disdainful.

"I don't feel a shred of threat from your Zanpakutō."

"Perhaps you don't know yet, but everything in our Soul Society is composed of Reishi, including the Zanpakutō in your hand and mine."

"The so-called blade is actually just a level of Reiatsu."

"Yet at this moment, I don't feel a shred of pressure from your Zanpakutō."

"To think I was so excited to rush to the scene, only to encounter a weakling."

"Boring, too boring!"

As Zaraki Kenpachi spoke, he also drew his Zanpakutō and continued:

"Regardless, since we have met face-to-face, at the very least, let my Zanpakutō experience a real battle."

"Use your blood to nourish my Zanpakutō."

Before the words had even faded, Zaraki Kenpachi raised his blade to strike, his movements wide and open, yet very relaxed and casual.

Just at this moment, the Shinigami of the Seireitei guard squad also arrived at the scene one after another.

However, when they discovered the 11th Division Captain Zaraki Kenpachi, these Shinigami suddenly felt a wave of fear.

One had to know that Zaraki Kenpachi hated nothing more than others interrupting his battles; there were not a few Shinigami who had been hacked to death by him for interrupting his fights in the past.

Thinking of this, these Shinigami dared not act rashly.

At this moment, Zaraki Kenpachi raised his blade and brought it down, the movement tracing a silver-white arc in the air.

Seeing this, the other Shinigami cast pitying glances toward Senju Xingye.

"I didn't expect him to run into the monster captain of the 11th Division right away."

"This Ryoka is truly pitiful."

"You have to know that Captain Zaraki's combat power is top-tier even in the entire Seireitei."

"After all, he is the captain of the combat division; I reckon an average person wouldn't be able to take even a casual strike."

Everyone looked at Senju Xingye as if they were looking at a dead man.

However, in the next second, everyone's expressions were shocked.

They saw Zaraki Kenpachi's Zanpakutō sweep across Senju Xingye's body, yet it didn't cause the slightest bit of damage.

The crowd was extremely astonished.

"Is it an illusion?"

"Captain Zaraki clearly hacked this Ryoka, so why didn't it cause any damage?"

Not only the ordinary members, but even Zaraki Kenpachi was a bit surprised this time.

When he hacked down, it shouldn't have felt like this.

Yet why did it feel as if he had hacked into thin air?

"Tch, a brat who only knows how to play tricks, not even daring to take a strike from me head-on, how disappointing."

Senju Xingye shook his head and explained to Zaraki Kenpachi: "Zaraki Kenpachi, actually you have always had a misunderstanding about power."

"Do you only think that hacking at each other with blades is equivalent to power?"

"Perhaps you have become accustomed to fighting in this straightforward, stupid way in the past."

"However, what I want to say is that a battle between two people is not just about hacking at each other with swords."

"More importantly, one must learn to make good use of one's own strengths."

"Fight with your brain."

"Bring your own combat power to its maximum."

"This is true strength."

Facing Senju Xingye's preaching, Zaraki Kenpachi was extremely disdainful and immediately retorted:

"Battle is a battle of power!"

"In the face of absolute power, all techniques are futile!"

"And your little tricks, the same!"

This time, Zaraki Kenpachi raised his Zanpakutō high again, imitating his previous method to strike down once more.

Only this time, the Reiatsu applied was far beyond that previous strike.

Under the infusion of Reiatsu, Zaraki Kenpachi's Zanpakutō formed an incomparably sharp blade aura. ===== CHAPTER 503 =====
