Chapter 210: World
Most people recognized Retsu Unohana's uniqueness, but they mostly admired and revered her. Only Masatsuki Aozaki could entertain such a disrespectful thought.
A sharp whistle of a blade cutting through the air rang in her ears, accompanied by the rhythmic tapping of straw sandals on the ground. A massive dark shadow surged upward—a demon clad in a white haori leaping into the air, brandishing a curved long blade as it came crashing down.
She swung her right hand with force, slashing the sharp blade diagonally downward.
Masatsuki Aozaki raised his sword horizontally against his left arm. The blade tilted slightly downward, reddish-brown sparks scattering as it fell.
Retsu Unohana's left hand emerged from her sleeve.
Masatsuki Aozaki saw the wakizashi in Unohana's grasp aimed at his upper right abdomen—right where the liver was.
Ordinarily, even without a sword, a heavy blow from a fist alone would be enough to cause unbearable pain.
For a brief moment, Masatsuki Aozaki deliberated but ultimately chose to extend his left hand, striking the wakizashi's blade.
It wasn't a Zanpakutō, just an ordinary sword, but in Retsu Unohana's hands, enhanced by her Reiatsu, it became a fearsome and deadly weapon.
Under equal levels of Reiatsu, no ordinary Shinigami could block that wakizashi with their body—even with Masatsuki Aozaki's exceptional physique, it was impossible.
"It seems you haven't forgotten what I taught you."
