The Two Titans / Stack the Thickest Armor, Take the Hardest Hits

Soon, Yamabuki Chidori saw the Hyakki-ji.

He is eating right now.

Upon seeing the Yamabuki Chidori arrive, she waved excitedly.

The Yamabuki Chidori left a very deep impression on him.

"I didn't expect to see you here! How about we have a fight? I'm very curious about your strength!" said Hyakki-ji.

The Grim Reaper beside him hissed, "Insolence! Do you know who you're talking to? You're not even a proper Grim Reaper anymore!"

"It's alright." Yamabuki Chidori casually interrupted the Grim Reaper beside her, "If you can beat Kamishirokawa, you can come find me anytime. Although I don't like violence, but..."

But I still really enjoy dominating weaker opponents.

"We're preparing the venue. The battle will begin in an hour. Is there a problem?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

"No problem." Hyakki-ji finished all the meat on the table, then drank a large jar of sugar water and closed his eyes to rest.

He needs to get himself into peak condition.

Kamishirokawa is unlike any of his previous opponents. Kamishirokawa can break through his defenses and even has the potential to threaten his life. He must not underestimate him, or he could very well lose his life.

He was the kid who promised to become the strongest Grim Reaper in the world.

After hearing about this, others rushed over to see what was going on, especially the members of the 11th Division.

During the more than 100 years that Kamishirokawa served as Captain, he had a very good relationship with his teammates, and they all hoped that he could continue to serve as Captain.

"Captain, you absolutely can't lose! We don't want to become the savages' subordinates! Should I put laxatives in his food so he gets diarrhea during the battle?" a Death God whispered.

Chapter 168: The Two Heroes

Kamishirokawa reached out and tapped one of his men on the forehead. "I don't recall teaching you such a despicable sneak attack method."

And what if the other side doesn't care at all and turns into a jetpack fighter during the battle? That would be like a mobile biological weapon. I don't want to fight someone like that. Even if I win, I'll be laughed at.

Kamishirokawa sat cross-legged on the prepared ground, adjusting his mindset to its best. His opponent was definitely a formidable adversary, and if he underestimated him, he might suffer a crushing defeat.

As the saying goes, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.

A battle is a gamble with life and death; once you lose, all the capital you've accumulated will vanish.

Moreover, Kamishirokawa was no pushover during those hundred years. He repeatedly sought advice on swordsmanship from Yamabuki Chidori, allowing his strength to leap forward dramatically in just a century, far surpassing what he was back then as a young boy.

All the other Captain were present. The last time such a large-scale event was for the selection of Kenpachi. Now, the title "Kenpachi" has become a symbol of power. Indeed, none of the Shinigami who serve as Kenpachi are weak.

Even the Maru who only served as Kenpachi for less than ten minutes once killed the three-headed Adjuchas single-handedly, astonishing everyone with his power.

Kamishirokawa Kenpachi has adjusted himself to his peak condition. Although a true master has the heart of an apprentice, he has not lost for a hundred years and has absolute confidence in his strength.

"They should be arriving soon, why hasn't the Hyakki-ji come yet?" the Grim Reapers whispered among themselves.

The members of the 11th Division were discussing whether this person was scared. After all, their opponent was the man who carried the title of the Strongest Shinigami, so it wouldn't be shameful for him to run away in the face of battle.

Only Kamishirokawa knew that the other party was definitely not the kind of person who was afraid of death.

Suddenly someone pointed to the sky and shouted, "That person is in the sky!"

Immediately, everyone looked up and saw Hyakki-ji's body freefalling from hundreds of meters in the air, like a meteorite falling from the sky, crashing straight into the arena. Instantly, the arena shattered, sending sand and stones flying.

The surrounding Death Squad members were so frightened that they couldn't help but cover their faces.

But many more people were amazed by Hyakki-ji's incredibly strong body; how could it land unscathed after a free fall from hundreds of meters in the air? What kind of monster was that?

The members of the 11th Division originally had full confidence in Kamishirokawa Kenpachi, but now they realized that they lacked confidence in their Captain.

"I sensed it just now, and the strongest Reiatsu is gathered here, isn't it?" Hyakki-ji looked up at the twelve Captain standing on the high place.

Kuchiki Ginrei said coldly, "What a reckless fellow."

In front of outsiders, Kuchiki Ginrei always acts very aloof in order to maintain her public persona.

Shiba Isshin also showed a helpless expression.

Kenpachi is widely recognized as the strongest Shinigami.

And how could someone who dares to challenge "Kenpachi" be an ordinary person?

Kamishirokawa Kenpachi slowly stood up and gripped his sword. "Let's begin."

"Alright, let's begin!" Hyakki-ji didn't waste any words; the battle between the two top experts was about to begin.

More than a thousand Death Knights members were watching from all sides.

This battle will surely be recorded in history.

"Come on! Hurt me!" Hyakki-ji laughed loudly.

"Bite."

The sound of the sword returning to its sheath echoed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The battle is over!" Kamishirokawa Kenpachi sheathed his sword and appeared behind Hyakki-ji without anyone noticing.

The entire arena fell into a deathly silence. Apart from the Captain on the high platform, no one else could see how the battle had ended.

To everyone's horror, Hyakki-ji's skin split open, revealing eight wounds on his chest, back, left leg, right leg, shoulders, abdomen, and lower back, with blood gushing out like a fountain.

"As expected of the Captain! He's amazing! He truly lives up to the name of Kenpachi." The members of the 11th Division stared in utter shock at the scene before them.

In their eyes, Kamishirokawa Kenpachi may have already become synonymous with "God of War".

After all, this Grim Reaper has never been defeated in a hundred years.

"Hehehehe! Hahahaha!!!" Instead of being panicked or afraid, Hyakki-ji burst into laughter. Sure enough, that day, Kamishirokawa did not use his full strength.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to only injure one's own skin.

Hyakki-ji was covered in blood, but his movements did not falter in the slightest. He pushed off the ground with both feet and charged forward with unparalleled strength.

Hyakki-ji's body is extremely strong, not only in terms of defense, but also in terms of strength, speed, and reaction ability, all of which are top-notch.

At this moment, he was like a heavily armored tank moving at supersonic speeds, not only incredibly durable but also extremely powerful.

The Reiatsu in the surrounding atmosphere was fluctuating wildly!

Kamishirokawa Kenpachi was shocked that his opponent, despite being so badly injured, still had the ability to counterattack!

However, his speed had also increased, and he narrowly avoided the enemy's punch.

The fists slammed into the ground like cannonballs, causing not only the ring but the entire ground to tremble violently, as if an earthquake of magnitude 8 had occurred. Rocks splintered and scattered like bullets from a shotgun!

Kamishirokawa Kenpachi strikes were like a dragon, deflecting all the flying pebbles while landing gracefully on the ground.

However, just as his body landed, Hyakki-ji charged forward again at an incomprehensible speed and punched him in the abdomen.

The two fought at an extremely fast pace; ordinary Grim Reapers couldn't even see their movements clearly, only sensing a flash of their figures before each retreating several steps!

Hyakki-ji stared in astonishment at his pierced wrist, then a smile spread across his face, "So strong! You're really strong! To be able to counterattack in that situation! This is so interesting!"

His fist was fast, but Kamishirokawa's sword was faster, piercing through his wrist a step ahead.

Logically, with such a severe wrist injury, he should be unable to move it, but Hyakki-ji seemed unaffected, casually flicking his wrist. His muscles twitched, and the wound that had been bleeding continuously had actually stopped bleeding.

Although Hyakki-ji doesn't have a powerful skill like Super Regeneration, his body is unique, allowing him to do simple things like forcibly controlling muscle contractions to stop bleeding.

Kamishirokawa Kenpachi remained calm. Although his opponent was very strong, he believed that as long as he was careful, he might be able to defeat him.

But at that moment, Hyakki-ji drew his Zanpakuto from his waist.

"As expected, dealing with you by normal means is unrealistic! Now, I have no choice but to unleash my Zanpakuto!" Hyakki-ji grinned maliciously, his face covered in blood. "Protect me, Iron Scale Armor!"

Chapter 169: Wearing the Thicker Armor, Enduring the Most Violent Beatings

Hyakki-ji unleashed his Zanpakuto, the blade twisting wildly like a writhing snake. Just when everyone thought it was Biological-Type Zanpakuto, the blade shattered into countless tiny scales the size of fingernails, clinging tightly to Hyakki-ji's body.

It's so fine and dense, like wearing a fish scale chainmail, except these metal scales are close to the skin, even on the eyelids, making it look like a large fish.

No one had ever seen this strange Zanpakuto before, and everyone was amazed that Zanpakuto could have such an ability.

Yamabuki Chidori was slightly surprised; this person really persisted with the armor-layering technique to the very end, even using the Zanpakuto.

Now it remains to be seen whether Kamishirokawa can penetrate the enemy's armor.

"Come on!" Hyakki-ji clasped his hands together, like an immovable Hades, his entire body covered in iron scales that shimmered and gleamed in the sunlight.

Kamishirokawa gripped his sword, focused his mind, and concentrated all his power into a single point.

"It's just a thin sheet of iron stuck to your body; don't think it will help you at all! Flash of God!"

Kamishirokawa's body transformed into a silver lightning bolt, the blade instantly slashing at Hyakki-ji's shoulder, leaving a silver afterimage behind him.

"Click click click!"

A sickening metallic scraping sound rang out as the blade clashed with the scales. Both sides retreated. Hyakki-ji looked at the iron scales on his chest, grinned, and saw that the scales were only slightly dented, having not been severed by his opponent.

On the contrary, Kamishirokawa's wrist trembled slightly. Force is reciprocal; he slashed at his enemy with maximum speed and power. If he failed to sever the enemy, the force would rebound back to his hand.

Kamishirokawa's expression froze. Why would such a bizarre Zanpakuto exist in this world? It had put all its skill points into defense!

Such outrageous things actually happen in this world.

"How about that? You can't break through my defenses now! Come on, hit me! Come on, hit me!" Hyakki-ji shouted trash talk as he fought. Anyone with a little less self-control would have rushed in by now, but Kamishirokawa remained calm and looked for his opponent's weakness.

"Fine! I never really wanted to use my Zanpakuto, but you're just too annoying." Kamishirokawa lightly swung the sword in his hand.

Hyakki-ji assumed a defensive stance. Although their Reiatsu were roughly equal, their compatibility was simply too poor.

Kanagawa has always followed a swift and decisive approach, much like an assassin with extremely high burst damage, who kills instantly upon encountering the enemy and then disappears.

However, if a skill combo fails to kill the opponent instantly, the player will enter a brief period of weakness and may be countered by the opponent.

For over a hundred years, Kamishirokawa has been trying to find ways to overcome his shortcomings.

After realizing his weaknesses, Kamishirokawa began to desperately improve his physical abilities. His initial idea was to give himself time to catch his breath and wait for his skills to cool down when his damage was insufficient to take down the enemy in one combo.

However, after practicing for several years, I discovered that the problem lay elsewhere.

Why can't I take down my opponent with my own set of skills?

Isn't that because I didn't inflict enough damage?

Why waste skill points on stamina?

Wouldn't it be better to put all the remaining skill points into attack?

The reason you can't kill the opponent instantly is because your damage output is insufficient.

As long as your attack power is high enough, there's no one you can't kill.

Following this line of thought, Kamishirokawa developed his own Zanpakuto ability.

"Quiet down, Severing Rainbow!" Kamishirokawa Kenpachi unleashed his Zanpakuto.

However, the appearance of the Zanpakuto remained unchanged, except that it had an additional layer of lustrous sheen on its surface.

"It's alright to tell you about my Zanpakuto's abilities in advance! My Zanpakuto can't unleash fancy Kido Kidō, nor can it enhance my strength or strengthen my body! The only thing this sword gains after being released is its sharpness. There's nothing in this world that this sword can't cut through!" Kamishirokawa Kenpachi lightly swung his sword, and the space around the blade subtly distorted.

That's a visual effect created by Splitting Void, not an actual cleavage of space.

Even so, it's already extremely dangerous.

If a person's sword can cut through steel, everyone will praise him as a great swordsman.

But if a person's knife can cut through flowing water, that is truly a divine skill.

Kamishirokawa Kenpachi's sword can not only cut through steel and flowing water, but even through the Splitting Void.

"Let me see if you're worthy of the title Kenpachi! The strongest shield and the strongest spear, will the spear pierce the shield, or will the shield block the spear!" Kamishirokawa adopted Sword-Draw Slash stance, lowering his body to make himself and the sword one.

"Godspeed - One-Slash Slash"

The indestructible sword sliced through the void as the Hyakki-ji raised its defenses to the limit.

The moment the blade clashed with the iron scales, sparks flew, blinding anyone who looked at them.

The deafening noise made everyone's ears ring, and the Death Squad members covered their ears, but they stared intently at the outcome of the battle.

The invincible sword light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Both of them froze in their tracks.

The first to move was Kamishirokawa; his movements appeared very stiff as he slightly turned his head to the side.
