Chapter 267: Trying to Cheat?
During the intense battle, Masatsuki Aozaki even found the time to glance back at Retsu Unohana.
She let out a soft sigh, then smiled in relief. Her gaze grew calm as she gave a slight nod.
Masatsuki Aozaki returned the gesture with a smile of his own.
This blatant disregard for the fight made Kenpachi Zaraki's brows knit together tightly, his eyes blazing with fury. He swung his sword with all his might, as if pouring every ounce of frustration and rage into each strike.
New wounds continued to open across his body, blood gushing freely, yet he showed no sign of retreat. On the contrary, he became even more relentless, pressing forward with fierce, unyielding strikes.
Masatsuki Aozaki, undeterred, met his aggression head-on.
Gripping the hilt of his sword tightly, he lifted it and swung upward with a powerful arc. A sharp, resounding clang echoed as his blade met Zaraki's, successfully blocking the attack.
But before Zaraki could react, Masatsuki Aozaki swiftly adjusted his stance and brought his blade slashing downward at an angle.
In an instant, a deep, narrow wound carved across Zaraki's body, sending blood spraying into the air. He staggered back a few steps, his footing unsteady.
Masatsuki Aozaki's figure flickered and vanished—his speed so blistering that it left the eye struggling to keep up.
In the blink of an eye, he slipped past Zaraki's desperate, erratic swings and surged forward like a raging gale, closing the distance in an instant.
