"My Soul Art is called Bone Erosion. Just like the literal meaning, as long as it is entangled, it will destroy your body." The leader of the men in black said solemnly,
"If you can reduce our number of people by so many, you will be considered worthy of death."
Under Lin Nan's surprised gaze, Ukitake's body fell to the ground like a bag that had lost its support.
"Ukitake!" Lin Nan shouted, but before he could move, he immediately felt a tearing feeling in his chest.
He lowered his head and discovered the gray shimmer wrapped around his right foot...
Amidst a heart-wrenching creaking sound, Lin Nan bent down in pain, as if he had lost his strength, and leaned on the ground with his knife to maintain balance precariously.
"You didn't fall down directly. It seems that your physical fitness is much stronger than the other one with white hair." The leader of the man in black commented, waving the knife in his hand.
The other men in black behind him were holding blades that also emitted a glimmer of light, watching the two people silently with cold eyes.
Lin Nan's figure gradually slid to the ground, his head lowered, and he stopped moving.
"It looks like we won't survive. Let's go! We still have tasks to complete." The leader ordered, and several people obeyed the order and turned around to leave.
"... You just want to leave after getting a little advantage? How can it be such a good thing!" A shout made several people stunned, stopped and looked back.
Lin Nan, who had been motionless just now, was shaking his head and slowly stood up from the ground.
The move "Bloodfall" just now failed to break through his Rei-Pressure Shell, but it caused a violent noise. The source of the noise was too close, making him dizzy for a moment.
Lin Nan adjusted his breathing, looked at the unconscious Ukitake on the ground, frowned and said to the leader of the men in black, "What an insidious trick, is this your Shikai?"
"How can Soul Reaper's Zanpakuto tactics be compared with our Soul Art. This is the origin deep in our souls. Unlike Soul Reaper, without Zanpakuto, it is impossible to release its true power." The leader of the men in black stretched out his knife and pointed it at Lin Nan, "There is a knife, but it is just to make it easier to kill people."
Lin Nan had an idea flash in his mind. The origin... sounds familiar.
Soul Reaper uses his own soul to influence and imprint the sword spirit in Asauchi, making it his own Zanpakuto. Through dialogue and synchronization, he finally conquers the sword spirit, thereby acquiring Bankai.
To put it bluntly, it relies on its own strength. And Asauchi is just a medium.
Thinking of this, a strange idea suddenly came into Lin Nan's mind.
"Before Sword God Oetsu Nimaiya created Asauchi, how did Soul Reaper in Soul Society fight?"
Although he didn't want to ask and answer himself, his hunch told him that it was likely that before there was Asauchi, the people of Soul Society relied on the so-called "Soul Art" to fight.
"What you said is quite interesting. Unfortunately, my friend needs first aid and I don't have time to listen to your chat." Lin Nan stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "So, will you take the initiative to answer my three questions, or will you be interrogated by me personally after you are cut down by me?"
Right now, Ukitake's spiritual pressure is extremely weak, and these people must be dealt with as soon as possible before first aid can be given to him.
It's not just a matter of friendship or friendship, Lin Nan is also a little afraid that if Ukitake dies, the Right Hand of the Soul King in his body will go berserk on the spot.
The people in black did not answer, but took out their Zanpakuto one after another, and the faint light bloomed on the blade again.
Lin Nan looked calmly at the men in black in front of him. It seemed that if he wanted to solve the problem at hand, he could only use all his strength.
He breathed out a breath, releasing the Rei-Pressure Concealment function in his body, and his whole aura suddenly increased -
The Rei-Pressure Concealment function has been lost, and the Rei-Power level shown in Lin Nan has skyrocketed!
Eleventh grade, tenth grade, ninth grade!
Although the ninth-level Rei-Power is not high, it is still two levels higher than the people in black present!
"I know a little bit about rising spiritual pressure." Lin Nan's expression was as cold and hard as a stone sculpture, and he rushed forward with his sword.
When the people in black saw that Lin Nan's momentum was different, they immediately launched a surprise attack and never gave the powerful enemy any chance to take action!
Six figures suddenly jumped into the air, waving Zanpakuto in their hands, and six glimmers of different colors, mixed with six different attacks, struck at the head of Lin Nan!
Lin Nan's body moved slightly, flashing left and right, Asauchi flying up and down in his hand, one against six, but he didn't lose at all.
The leader of the man in black opened his eyes in disbelief. "You actually still have such a strong power!? Is it because you don't want your companions to find out that you are using it now?!"
"I think too much, I just want you to die faster!" Lin Nan was merciless and unforgiving.
However, after several rounds of fighting, he discovered an embarrassing problem.
Since Ukitake is now unconscious at the edge of the open space not far from him, he cannot use the powerful Hadō, otherwise he may be accidentally injured;
In the case of simply fighting Zanjutsu, the lethality of Asauchi is not enough. It is still a bit reluctant to kill six enemies using Soul Art;
Although the opponent's six Soul Art were difficult to deal with, the existence of Rei-Pressure Shell withstood most of their damage. Considering the opponent's attack power, it was also not easy to kill him.
The two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.
What to do? Time cannot afford to be delayed, Ukitake is at stake!
The people in black waved Zanpakuto, urging their own Soul Art to fight against the enemy, and various shimmering lights continued to attack Lin Nan.
Lin Nan While fighting with it, he kept thinking in his mind.
Although the Soul Art abilities used by these men in black are different, with a little analysis, you can find that apart from the element system, they are Kidō-type;
And a few others simply concentrated their spiritual pressure around the blade, which not only enhanced the attack power, but also increased the attack range to a certain extent.
On the surface, these men in black are fighting with swords, but what really produces offensive power is the weak light of spiritual pressure.
Any power has its source and cannot arise out of thin air.
"Although those glimmers of light look a bit illusory, their state is very similar to Shikai.
Could it be that this power comes from their own souls? That's why it's called [Soul Art]?"
Without Zanpakuto, it can exert a power comparable to Shikai. No wonder the rebels have been able to deal with Court Guard Squad for such a long time. However, there must be some shortcomings in this ability, otherwise there is no need for the rebels to steal Zanpakuto.
However, Lin Nan doesn't have much energy to think about the origin of his power right now. He needs to find a way out of the containment immediately and send Ukitake to treatment before he bleeds to death.
A strong man in black gathered his spiritual energy into the shape of a spiked hammer and smashed it down on Lin Nan.
Lin Nan dodged to the side, using his long knife to easily deflect the opponent's attack, and then a light flashed in his eyes.
Got it!
Soul Art relies on spiritual pressure to achieve it, so can I also follow the example of a gourd and treat others in their own way?
Even if you don't know what your soul power is yet, why not use spiritual pressure to enhance your attack power like the man in black just now?
If the enemy can use it, I can use it too!
With this thought, Lin Nan mobilized his spiritual pressure all over his body, and the light of spiritual pressure visible to the naked eye enveloped his figure.
The strong wind stirred up by the spiritual pressure stirred up the dust on the ground and blew it around. The sound of the howling wind made people feel as if a tornado was coming.
The people in black were stopped for a moment by the sudden wind and sand, and they all raised their hands to protect their eyes.
In the center of the eye of the wind, Lin Nan had a determined expression, and a bright light condensed out of his left hand. As he pressed forward, the spiritual pressure light group continued to be compressed, becoming more solid, and the light became brighter and brighter.
Then, Lin Nan held Asauchi across his chest, and lightly touched the light with his left hand on the blade. The entire Asauchi was immediately enveloped in the dazzling light, and finally merged with the light.
Lin Nan waved Zanpakuto, which seemed to be composed of light, and said solemnly:
"That's enough of the little fight. Who will die first?"
