"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"This sound is..." Yoruichi Shihōin suddenly widened his eyes, looked at Shadow in surprise, and said in confusion; "It is... the sound of heartbeat, how could it be..."
"I discovered this accidentally in my free time!" Shadow said in a deep voice; "In fact, I was quite shocked, because this Shade does not require human control at all, nor does it need to imitate the body movements of the person being exfoliated. As long as the blood of the body is input into the Shade, it can be activated within a certain period of time!"
"Well! In fact, after all, you are still imitating it. The main body knows it and needs to be more proficient in it, whether it is the skills of Zanpakutō or Bleach. However, the only and biggest difference is that Shade activated by blood is like another side of you. His you is not you, because it has its own fighting consciousness!"
"Is it the effect of my blood?" Yoruichi Shihōin asked; "Use this as a medium..."
"Yes, that's it!" nodded, Shadow said; "Shade with independent combat consciousness is not just a Shade, its role..."
"You'd better stop talking nonsense, Shadow!" A hint of fighting spirit appeared in the corner of his mouth, Yoruichi Shihōin reached out and gently unbuttoned his casual clothes; "Anyway, I probably already understand it, so I don't need to listen to your explanation. This opponent is not bad, and I am very satisfied. It is quite interesting to fight against myself, isn't it?"
Throwing away his casual clothes and revealing the tight-fitting combat uniform underneath, Yoruichi Shihōin clenched his fists, his wheat-colored face full of fighting spirit.
"So Yoruichi, you've been ready for a long time!" Looking at Yoruichi Shihōin in combat uniform, the corners of Shadow's mouth twitched.
"Yes! Are you prepared to make you nod no matter what!" Yoruichi Shihōin smiled, but Shadow could only smile bitterly, what else could he do.
"Then, Lady Yoruichi needs to be prepared!" Shadow sighed and said in a deep voice; "Don't take it lightly. I will not intervene in this life and death battle, let alone give any hints. There must be a winner between you and Shade. You may be injured or you may really die. Lady Yoruichi, you must go all out!"
"Ah!"
"Also, Lady Yoruichi, you have to remember that Shade will not be injured. It has only one fatal point, which is..."
"You don't need to tell me this!" Yoruichi Shihōin suddenly interrupted; "I will find it myself and defeat it. You can just watch from the side!"
"Really!" Shadow was stunned for a moment, then folded his hands in front of his chest and took two steps back without saying a word.
"How long does Shade last?" Yoruichi Shihōin suddenly asked.
"About an hour or so!"
"That's enough, then let's go!"
"······"
······
"This is it! It's really troublesome to find the right path. There are Genjutsu and mechanisms everywhere. It's really the famous Dark Night Residence!"
With a slightly low and hoarse voice, a man in a brocade robe suddenly appeared in the forest. He had a pale face and long nails, but the most eye-catching thing was his melancholy eyes with a hint of madness.
He muttered something in a low voice, and a gust of cold wind blew by. The man's figure disappeared again like a ghost. The time from appearance to disappearance definitely did not exceed three seconds. It was as fast as if he had never appeared before.
······
"Well! This is..."
The originally lowered head suddenly lifted up, and Shadow's eyes turned to the distance. That direction was exactly where the man had appeared. His eyes with a little bit of strange red light in the darkness suddenly became serious.
"It disappeared so quickly. What method was used? How did it happen? Who is that person..."
Puzzle, doubt, shock, and all kinds of emotions flashed through his mind at this moment. Shadow's brows could not help but frown, and he held the handle of Zanpakutō behind his waist. However, the person was gone. Shadow had no choice but to put down these thoughts and turned around to continue watching Yoruichi Shihōin's battle.
······
In the dark space, which was also a silent and uninhabited space, a man seemed to be walking casually in it, clenching his long nails and looking around constantly. His eyes were full of solemn expressions. Obviously, the man's expression was not as calm as what appeared on his face.
"God of Slaughter Shadow! The king of Shade in the darkness is indeed worthy of his reputation. He really has the same kind of Zanpakutō as his master! However, this dark world is exactly what I want, isn't it! It's just like what I thought!"
Following the man's whisper, as if there was some response, in the deepest part of the dark space, a pair of eyes suddenly opened. The blood-red eyes were filled with unstoppable ferocity and cruelty, as if the devil in the depths of Hell was slowly showing its claws.
"Who are you!"
"God of Slaughter-sama's Zanpakutō sword spirit, right? Let me introduce myself, my name is...Muramasa!"
······
World of the Living, Karakura Town, Dark Night Residence deep in the forest.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of breaking through the air kept resounding in the silent and uninhabited forest, and two figures jumping rapidly on the tree trunks collided one after another in the gloomy sky. Amidst the low sounds of fighting, bursts of energy spread from time to time, rolling up the sand and rocks on the ground, bringing with them smoke and dust all over the sky.
He tapped the tree trunk with his toes, and his body rose up from the stress. Yoruichi Shihōin's surging figure suddenly stopped in the air. Then, it suddenly disappeared without a sound. When it reappeared, it was already at the bottom of the tree not far away, with a kick, but the target was an empty tree root.
What's going on!!!
Suddenly, at the bottom of the tree, a dark figure suddenly appeared, punching out with one hand. The movement seemed slow, but if you feel it carefully, it was actually surprisingly fast. Spiritual Power was like a wave, constantly gathering on the fist from all around, making waves of subtle sounds like the waves lapping on the coast, one after another, the ebb and flow, in succession, each overlap would be stronger.
"Boom!"
The fist and foot collided, Shade took a step back, but Yoruichi Shihōin couldn't help but jumped back, used up the strong momentum, hooked one foot on the tree branch, and moved his body He arched and turned slightly, and stood firm on the tree trunk. Sweat dripped down his wheat-colored face, and he was breathing heavily, but an excited smile appeared on the corner of Yoruichi Shihōin's mouth.
"Ah! As expected of my Shade, she is really difficult to deal with!" Yoruichi Shihōin murmured to himself and licked his chapped lips; "The move just now was a bit difficult even if I wanted to perform it so easily, but this is just right!"
Crouching down, the figure of Yoruichi Shihōin suddenly jumped out and disappeared again in the air. Indistinctly, only vague figures could be seen. Every time he moved, the images left behind always had to wait a few seconds before disappearing. This was the embodiment of extremely fast speed.
"Two of the four maples: heavy waves!"
With a low voice, he punched out in agreement. Yoruichi Shihōin appeared suddenly and hit Shade in front of him mercilessly. On top of the fist that seemed slow but was actually extremely fast, dense Reishi Just like waves, one after another, there is no beginning, which means there will be no end. Amidst the rising Reishi, the rapid fist came into close contact with Shade's chest for the first time since the duel.
"Hit!"
