Soul Society, Seireitei, Ninth Division nearby woods.
"Bang!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the thrown figure hit the ground hard. He struggled to stand up, tremblingly holding Zanpakutō tightly in his hands. Shadow's face was pale and bloodless, and he turned around unsteadily and continued to rush towards Eroding Wolf.
"Nineteenth time!" He said lightly, Eroding Wolf stood there with an unchanging expression, sneered, made a fist with one hand, and once again wielded the black Shade without mercy.
"Bang!"
Before he could reach the front, before he waved his sword to block, Shadow's figure was once again thrown away and hit the trunk of a tree. His head was cut open by a sharp branch, and bright red blood flowed out, once again soaking his tattered clothes.
Struggling and shaking, even though his vision was blurred, even though the muscles and bones all over his body were aching, and even though the palm holding the knife could no longer exert any force, Shadow turned around and rushed forward again without saying a word.
"The twentieth time!"
"Bang!"
······
"The thirtieth time!"
"Bang!"
The figure was thrown away again, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his throat. Shadow gritted his teeth, propped up his trembling arms, panted heavily and tried to stand up, but...
"Have you reached your limit?"
Looking at Shadow who had completely collapsed, Eroding Wolf's face suddenly calmed down. He was silent for a moment and slowly walked forward. His previous coldness was gone and his tone became calmer.
"I originally thought that the twenty-fifth time would be your limit, but I didn't expect..." Eroding Wolf suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and narrowed his scarlet eyes slightly; "I didn't expect that your strength has become weaker, but your tenacious vitality is still the same! Luoshan!"
Luoshan! This familiar name, this memory hidden deep in my heart has never disappeared.
"..." His eyes suddenly widened, Shadow turned his head with difficulty, and looked at Eroding Wolf who was walking next to him in disbelief; "How did you... how did you know!"
"How do I know!" Eroding Wolf held his chin, looked down at Shadow, and said calmly, "Isn't the power of Zanpakutō coming from the holder himself?"
"But even if that's the case!" Shadow gritted his teeth; "You shouldn't know what I did before!"
"You forgot! I was born in this Soul Society with you, wasn't I?" Eroding Wolf curled his lips and replied, "If you are serious about it, how would I know!"
"You..."
"Stop looking at me like that!" Eroding Wolf squatted down and said, reaching out to Shadow and taking out the White Fang's Blade.
"Hey! What do you want to do? Return White Fang to me quickly!" Shadow struggled to get up, but it was all in vain.
"It seems you care about this knife very much!" He flipped his hand up and down, playing with White Fang's Blade, and a ruthless look flashed in Eroding Wolf's eyes.
"What do you mean!"
"It means that I want this knife!" He stepped on Shadow's body, Eroding Wolf grinned and laughed, "It doesn't matter if you don't agree, it's already in my hand anyway!"
"Asshole!"
I don't know where the strength came from, Shadow tightly grasped Eroding Wolf's foot on his chest, and a touch of wildness gradually emerged in his eyes.
"This is..."
After a slight pause, Eroding Wolf laughed suddenly, kicked Shadow away, and sneered, "You can't even stand up! What else can you do with your appearance!"
"It's really disappointing that the man known as Swordsmanship Soul Society only has this little strength. Aren't you very powerful? Aren't you very strong? Aren't you disdainful of using my power!"
"Then what's going on with your current appearance!" Eroding Wolf shouted the Roar; "Where did you go in the past? Where did the confident and flamboyant Mitarai Luoshan in my memory go? Fang Path, who is known as the strongest, shouldn't be so weak!"
"No, it's not that Fang Path has become weaker, it's that you have become weaker!" Laughing crazily, Eroding Wolf took a step forward, lifted Shadow with one hand, and said fiercely, "Look at you now, you are defeated by me so easily, this shouldn't be right!"
"You spend the whole day following a woman, doing laundry and cooking. How long has it been since you practiced cultivation? How long has it been!"
"You want me to return the knife to you. What qualifications do you have to talk to me now? You can't help but your strength is completely different from before. Even that heart, that heart of a strong man, you have lost! What can you use to fight me now that you have no fighting spirit!"
"Why did you get your strength? Why did you work so hard in the first place?"
Throwing Shadow in his hand, Eroding Wolf turned around, ignoring the somewhat empty eyes of Shadow behind him.
"Now you are not even qualified to let me kill you, but that's fine, just live on like this! Anyway, to you now, it doesn't matter, right?"
"This knife is not something you can own now. If you want to get it back, then come and defeat me! However, this is impossible! Haha..."
"What... are you talking about!"
The hoarse sound was as harsh as a grinding wheel rubbing against the ground. Hearing the noise coming from behind, Eroding Wolf stopped, but he did not look back.
"······"
"I said, what nonsense are you talking about!"
The voice gradually increased, and the figure stood up swaying, giving off an aura of danger. The raging Reiatsu burst out from Shadow's body, rising straight into the sky, exuding soul-stirring ferocity and cruelty.
He raised his head and opened his eyes. Blood red was the only color in them, cold and bloodthirsty.
"Maybe I have really become weaker, but it is still easy to defeat this guy like you!"
Roaring loudly, the figure rushed towards Eroding Wolf, and slashed out Zanpakutō in his hand.
The speed has become faster, and the strength has also increased. He is wielding Zanpakutō without any rules, but it is extremely ruthless. The sword is a deadly all-out attack. Whether it is the sword, Zanjutsu, or the sword is withdrawn, it is just right every time.
However, this is not enough!
Eroding Wolf jumped away, looked at Shadow with an indescribable meaning in his eyes, raised the corner of his mouth, and still smiled coldly.
It's not enough, it's not even close to the real limit. In this case, maybe this is the only way to do it.
Looking up to the sky, roaring, the dark Reiatsu rose into the sky, and the dense Shade condensed around it, covering everything with black.
Come on! Let's fight!
I am also eager to fight with you!
The master I long for, the master I look up to, the one in my heart who cannot be blasphemed!
Come on! Let's fight!
Use battle to awaken your wildness, use blood to awaken your wolf nature!
We are wolves, fearless wolves!
We are wild beasts, the kings who survive alone in the fight!
This is what you said, this is what you have warned me countless times, have you forgotten it?
But, it doesn't matter, I will remind you again that you will be the strongest warrior you once were!
Even if it means using my life!
However, if it fails!
I will... kill you with my own hands!
Rather than living like this cowardly, rather than living in such a meaningless world, it is better to die in battle.
Because I remember what you once said, death in battle is the final destination of our beasts!
