After checking the pharmacy records, Unohana led Katori Sora to a forest on the outskirts of the Seireitei.
The sky was filled with dark clouds, and rain could fall at any moment, but this would not stop their exchange of sword skills.
"Let me see your growth. I have been looking forward to this moment for a long time, Lord Katori."
Unohana slowly drew her Zanpakutō. Her face was as gentle as water, yet the aura she exuded was chilling.
Sora untied the upper part of his shihakushō. A torrent of spiritual pressure instantly erupted from his shoulders and back.
He had directly entered his Shunkō state.
"Oh~?" Unohana felt Sora's wild spiritual pressure fluctuation, and the corner of her mouth curved slightly upward. "It seems I'll have more fun today."
She suppressed her spiritual pressure to a level similar to Sora's.
As soon as her voice fell, Sora's figure had already vanished.
—CLANG!
Unohana blocked Sora's blade in front of her. They were so close that she could even feel his breath on her forehead.
"Your speed has increased a lot, but it's still not enough," Unohana chuckled lightly.
The last time, she had underestimated his "Shunpo Iai" and was unable to defend in time. This time, she was on guard and directly blocked his surprise attack.
Sora raised his left hand, aiming at Unohana.
His movement made her frown slightly, somewhat displeased. "Still using Hadō?"
However, Sora suddenly extended two fingers, and arcs of lightning wrapped around them.
Sparks erupted from within the lightning, instantly transforming into crimson flames.
Unohana's eyes narrowed. The moment Sora's fingertips began to change, she twisted her blade, pushing him away. Then, her body spun several times at extreme speed, her blade falling upon the golden lightning-flame that shot from his fingers.
The spiritual pressure blade enveloping the golden lightning-flame collided with Unohana's sword, creating an astonishing sound.
CLANG!!!
The golden lightning-flame shattered into several pieces, scattering in all directions. The towering trees in their path were all severed.
BOOM—
More than ten giant trees crashed to the ground, startling countless birds into flight.
"Condensing a spiritual pressure blade at your fingertips, and even using Kidō to enhance its power... a move I have never seen before. You are truly delightful... Lord Katori..." Unohana's gaze changed slightly. Her eyelids lowered a little, and her pupils revealed a hint of irrepressible fervor.
Unohana's sword dipped slightly. A few drops of blood trickled from the space between her thumb and index finger, dripping down the blade onto the ground.
Seeing blood, Sora also became more excited.
This was the main reason he liked to exchange sword skills with Unohana instead of Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni.
Unohana herself enjoyed the exchange of swordsmanship and would seriously suppress her spiritual pressure. This was a point she would not change, even if it meant getting injured.
Yamamoto was different. That old man was extremely concerned with face. When sparring, he'd say he was suppressing his spiritual pressure, but in reality, the moment there was a possibility of him getting hurt, he would strike more ruthlessly than anyone.
"There's more I'd like to show you, Captain Unohana," Sora smiled faintly. Arcs of lightning bloomed on his body, intertwining with the torrent of spiritual pressure from his Shunkō.
Shunkō: Raikiri Form!
Sora's speed increased another notch. Four afterimages appeared around Unohana, and they all stepped forward to thrust their swords simultaneously.
Unohana's sword spun in a circle, instantly blocking the swords of three afterimages. Then, in a flash, her blade landed on the shoulder of the final figure.
Pfft—
Blood splattered from Sora's shoulder, but at the same time, his sword also thrust towards Unohana's body.
Unohana extended her left hand and slapped the flat of his blade, deflecting its path.
Sora's sword passed under her armpit, only tearing the sleeve of her haori and shihakushō, failing to injure her.
Both of them took a step back at the same time, creating some distance.
"Your speed has gotten much faster again..." Unohana chuckled lightly.
She reached up and tore off the half-shredded sleeve, revealing her fair arm.
"There's faster yet," Sora ignored the wound on his shoulder, raised his Zanpakutō, and pinched the blade between two fingers.
Sora's action made Unohana's excitement grow even more, her voice even changing slightly. "The Blade Sealing Method—it has been many years since I have seen it!"
The next moment, a blade of light containing the power of lightning arrived in an instant!
—CLANG!!!
Unohana was prepared. Holding her sword with both hands, she blocked the blade of light in front of her.
An irresistible force surged from her blade into her hands. The flesh between her thumb and index finger, which she had just healed, was torn open again by the force.
Then, her legs were pressed into the earth by the immense power, carving two trenches in the ground.
Unohana lifted her blade, flinging the lightning slash away.
The slash veered towards the sky, cutting a gash in the dark clouds.
A little sunlight shone through, scattering through the forest.
Sora focused his gaze and found that Unohana was no longer where she had been.
In the next instant, he saw her soul-stirring eyes appear right in front of him.
The blade in Sora's hand vanished, replaced by a splash of water like an ocean wave.
The wave-like spray instantly collided with Unohana's attack.
—Clang clang clang!
A continuous sound of clashing blades rang out.
Pfft—
A bloody line appeared on Unohana's abdomen, while over a dozen appeared on Sora's body.
Feeling the kiss of the blade on her skin, the smile on her face grew even more chilling.
She kicked Sora away, tapped her plain white tabi-clad toe lightly in the air, and leaped up. Twisting her waist, she spun in the air and brought her Zanpakutō down with a fierce chop.
BOOM—
The two swords met, and Sora was smashed directly to the ground.
Unohana pressed her knee on Sora's lower body, then reversed her grip on her sword and stabbed fiercely towards his abdomen.
Just then, spiritual pressure surged from Sora's body. The temperature rose sharply, and raging flames ignited on his sword and body.
The moisture in his body rapidly evaporated, and his skin quickly cracked.
The arcs of lightning on his body intertwined with the crimson flames. Under the illumination of the lightning, the flames turned a brilliant gold!
The high-temperature heatwave radiating from his body caused the surrounding air to distort.
Raihi Ryōgen!
He still couldn't enter this state while in Shunkō, but the explosive power of Raihi Ryōgen was extremely strong, even greater than that of "Shunkō: Raikiri."
After reaching the Mastered level, he could activate it for short periods without causing too much damage to himself, making it usable in actual combat.
Unohana's expression changed slightly, and she quickly lifted her leg to get away.
The leg she had just used to pin Sora down had been set ablaze by the golden flames.
After extinguishing the flames with her spiritual pressure, a large part of her shihakushō had been burned away, almost turning it into a skirt.
Sora struck out again. His boiling blood and the electric arcs wrapping his body raised his speed to another level.
Sora's figure was like a shadow. In an instant, he had used Shunpo to appear in front of Unohana.
