Chapter 1373 Start of the Real War
With Sona and Kisuke leaving to follow Aika and Ichigo, Yoruichi and the others regrouped as planned.
As soon as Yoruichi returned, she immediately noticed the injured Soifon who was being healed by Retsu, "Was that guy too much after all?"
Soifon was enduring the pain of the broken bone of her right arm and nodded, "Although both of us were still holding back, it's clear that I have no way of defeating him even if I go all out."
Soifon's opponent, Restoras, also known as the Sky Prime Ruler was not just faster than Soifon but also very experienced in close-quarter combat. In addition to that, he's also very sturdy despite his stature, and most of the attacks that allowed Soifon to create an opening were ignored.
"When I heard that Nimaiya instantly defeated one of them, I thought it'd be viable for me to take on one," Soifon added in a rare defeated tone.
"Well, he did warn us that he's only lucky that his opponent was overconfident with his defense." Yoruichi replied while recalling Ouetsu's exact words, 'I was only lucky that he didn't move at all... And that's actually the first time I felt resistance when I swung Sayafushi despite further sharpening her with my Reiatsu. He was a total monster that I wouldn't want to fight.'
'According to the records of my clan, Nimaiya's Sayafushi was infamous for cutting absolutely everything including its fellow Zanpakuto even if it's in Bankai state. For him to feel resistance, that must mean the guy he cut was unbelievably tough that almost no one would be able to scratch.' Yoruichi thought to herself and looked around, "The biggest problem is his speed. Even I won't be able to catch him in my Shunkou."
"What about you?" Soifon asked back while staring at Yoruichi's left arm that was partially rotting, "That looks nasty."
"I'm fine." Yoruichi was already pouring a medicine specially crafted by Kisuke based on Tenjirou's ability to replace blood, "I just didn't expect him to suddenly power up."
