Chapter 42: The Synodic Moon
Brush ββββ
Blood splattered, Kenba stood on the ground with his sword, and staggered twice before he could stand firm. Panting, he was surprised: "What kind of trick is this?" β
"Flying Edgeworth! The school of swordsmanship I used just now, the pursuit of extreme speed, and the moment you hit me, the Jedi counterattack is a move that is impossible to dodge. Duke explained. The so-called kendo is nothing more than the three words "fast", "ruthless", and "quasi", and the flying sword flow has brought the "fast" and "ruthless" to the limit, and the first-class speed that surpasses the limit, coupled with its powerful attack moves, makes people unstoppable.
"Hahaha......"
Kenpachi laughed for a while, lowered his head to look at the scars on his body, and then looked up at Duke in front of him, the excitement in his eyes was even stronger: "Although I don't understand it, it's undoubtedly a great move." It's been a long time since anyone has been able to slash me, and you're a great guy. β
"Thanks for the compliment, but I'm not going to show mercy."
"That's a real request! This kind of battle makes my blood boil, let's come back more fiercely! With a shout, Kenpachi had already rushed towards Duke, brandishing the slashing knife in his hand, slashing again and again, fast and ruthless. Kenpachi laughed maniacally, dense and tiny scars all over his body, and he didn't know how much blood had been shed. But he didn't care, or he was still enjoying it, which was normal, with his strong spiritual pressure and physique, those wounds didn't pose a threat.
"Don't die, as you wish." Duke looked at the Kenpachi in front of him as he was in his twenties, and there was still a big difference from the future, presumably there was still a long time before he became the captain of the Eleventh Team, and there was still great potential that had not yet been tapped. Even so, it is a very formidable opponent, and in the face of this kind of monster, there is nothing to hide.
"Flying Edgeworth! Dragon Hammer Flash! β
"Long Xiang Shan!"
"Dragonhammer Flash!"
"Double Dragon Flash!"
"Wyvern Flash!"
As the sun set, the sword light on the desert soared into the sky, and the slash crossed dozens of meters, illuminating a large open space. Duke looked at Kenpachi who was bleeding profusely on the ground, gasped and put away the slashing knife, and after using so many mysteries in a row, his right hand holding the sword was a little numb.
"Good luck, but don't just die...... It's not even ......."
Duke couldn't finish his sentence as his eyes widened as he watched in disbelief as Kenpachi got back on his feet. Kenpachi was covered in blood, the knife wounds rolled up the flesh, and there were even a few places where white bones could be seen. This fatal injury didn't defeat Kenpachi, but instead awakened something buried deep in his heart.
Spiritual pressure! The indescribable power of spiritual pressure swept over the sky! An incomparably heavy spiritual pressure emanated from Jian Ba's body, and this spiritual pressure was vastly different from before, and it was as thick as if a sea was falling in the sky. Let everything in sight let out a soul-deep wail, trees, mountains and rocks creak and crumble into debris.
"This can also be counted as spiritual pressure...... Are you kidding? Duke's hand holding the knife trembled, unable to believe what was happening. He knew that although Kenpachi couldn't solve it, he had one of the best spiritual pressures among all the captains, but this was too exaggerated. Duke's conceited spiritual pressure had reached the captain level, but in the face of this spiritual pressure, the spiritual pressure he was proud of was simply ridiculous as a child, it was so insignificant.
"Thanks to you, I seem to remember something, but it doesn't matter. Now let's start the second round! Kenpachi walked towards Duke step by step with the sword on his shoulder, and with each step, his momentum increased by one point.
'Can't let him continue, or I'm going to die!' Duke forced his hands and feet to stop shaking, and under the devastating pressure of Kenpachi, he concentrated on unleashing the most brilliant blow.
"Flying Edgeworth! Hydra flash! β
The nine basic slash directions of swordsmanship include straight slash, diagonal cut from right to left, diagonal cut from left to right, left cross-cut, right cross-cut, left-diagonally to right up, right-to-left diagonal cut, bottom-up, and straight throat stab. With the speed of the Flying Swordstream, Duke slashed from nine directions in an instant, making Kenpachi unable to defend or dodge.
"Poofβ"
The figures are staggered, and the sword light is accompanied by blood. Duke turned his head to look behind him, all nine slashes hit, and in the face of the slashes that exceeded the limit, Kenpachi didn't react at all...... Or that Jian Eight reacted but couldn't dodge, so he used his body to force the next nine slashes.
A cold sweat left on Duke's forehead, and the touch of the slashing knife frightened him. The swordsmanship of the Flying Heavenly Sword Flow could only break through the spiritual pressure on Jian Ba's body, leaving nine subtle wounds, which were not even minor injuries.
"Your sword is indeed fast, but it is not enough, your strength is not strong enough!!" Kenpachi stuck out his tongue and licked the blood on his arm, and a crazy smile appeared on his face: "Is this kind of small injury a child fighting?" Don't tell me that's all there is to it! You should be more ferocious, you can do it! Come on, kill me with the strongest slash! β
Duke was stunned, he remembered very well the battle between Kenpachi and Ichigo and the ten-bladed Neutra, at that time, Kenpachi was definitely not so powerful.
"What are you doing! Lost your fighting spirit? That's going to be boring......" Kenpachi said this, and instantly disappeared in place, appeared on top of Duke's head, and slashed down with a single sword.
"Sky Soar Dragon Flash!"
At the moment of life and death, at the moment when Kenpachi's sword fell, Duke woke up in time and used the fastest and strongest mystery of the Flying Sword Stream. Tianxiang Dragon Flash is a super-god-fast sword drawing technique that is faster than the speed of the gods, and a sword move that is faster than any opponent.
The brilliant sword slashed across the night sky, and there was no touch of slashing flesh, and Duke who held the knife just watched Kenpachi holding his slashing knife and the sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.
'Impossible, Tianxiang Long Flash was caught with his bare hands...... ' The brain has lost the ability to direct its own actions, and stands there like a log. How can it be? Is he more wooden Kenpachi? Liar! It's like being reborn from the two just now, whether it's speed, strength, or reaction, it's completely different, and even the spiritual pressure has been raised to an unattainable height, what's going on?
"This is your strongest blow? It's fast, but the strength is too bad! Kenpachi licked his lips, and the corners of his mouth outlined a cruel smile: "If it's to this extent, then it's over!" β
The serrated blade raised high in the air fell, slicing a terrible wound diagonally from Duke's shoulder to his lower abdomen. Blood, blood splashed all over the sky. Duke paused for a moment, slowly fell to the ground, a large amount of blood was lost, and his spiritual pressure was also dropping sharply.
"What! I thought I could get out of it...... It's so boring! Kenpachi licked the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, looked at the dying Duke, and turned to leave.
'It's so strong...... It's so fast......'
'It's cold...... I'm going to die...... It turns out that death is how it feels...... I'm really unwilling to ......'
'There's a lot I want to do......
'Sorry guys, I might have to go first......
His pupils dilated, Duke's consciousness began to diverge, everything became blurry, and darkness enveloped his world! He wandered in the dark space, drifting with the tide and not knowing where to go, his heavy eyelids becoming more and more difficult to support, and the candle flame of life faintly faded away.
"How long are you going to sleep? Don't hurry up and call out my name! The cold and arrogant female voice spoke slowly without hurry, like a dream, like a hollow valley orchid ringing in her ears.
"Who is it?" Duke opened his eyes, and his surroundings were still in the same darkness as they had been for ten thousand years.
"You know, say my name!" A cold wrist like a white moonlight cut through the darkness and caressed Duke's cheek.
"Your name?" Duke tried to see through the darkness to see the woman's face, but he could only see a little outline, the outline shrouded in darkness.
"O my lord! The world is so dark, how long do you want this place to continue, I have been waiting, waiting for you to shine and dispel this boundless darkness. The woman's figure became clearer and clearer, she reached out and grabbed Duke, and her white plain hand held Duke tightly, and confided.
"Your name?" Duke closed his eyes and muttered, scenes flashing through his mind. Countless memories were broken and crumpled together, and then formed into a piece, and he lay quietly in this flowing river, recalling the name in the depths of his soul.
"My lord, I am always there for you. Shout out, my name! "What a beauty the woman's face was revealed! A head of satin-like black hair fluttering in the wind, slender phoenix eyebrows, eyes like stars like bright moon, delicate nose, cold purple thin lips, flawless face, face as crystal as jade, skin like ice and snow. Dressed in white plain clothes, his figure is light and light, and he is beautiful and vulgar. When looking forward to it, she has an elegant and noble temperament, she is really a high goddess, noble and holy!
"Say it, my name is ......"
"I remember, your name is ......"
β¦β¦
Boom ββββββββ
The spiritual pressure that rose to the sky blew away the clouds in the sky, and the fierce sword intent that rose from the ground pierced the sky. The sea that covered the sky was poked out of a hole, and it could not be calmed down for a long time. Kenpachi didn't take a few steps before he was frightened by the terrifying spiritual pressure that erupted behind him, and he turned around suddenly, only to see Duke standing up again with his slashing sword. The spiritual pressure emanated from him, and it emanated endlessly.
"You're not dead yet?" Kenpachi was stunned for a moment, and once again burst out with a more powerful spiritual pressure than before, and then laughed wildly: "It's such a momentum, I know, you are the guy I've been waiting for for a long time!" β
Duke was calm, evoked a faint smile, stroked the sword as if he were a lover, held it horizontally in front of his chest, and muttered:
"Shine to the worldβthe synodic moon!"
Boom ββββββββ
The spiritual pressure exploded, and the hurricane swept through the sky and the ground, and Kenpachi was crossed in front of him with one hand, forced to retreat by the spiritual pressure, and his feet ploughed out two deep furrows on the ground. After the hurricane, Duke's clothing did not change in the slightest, but the sword in his hand changed from short to long, and the blade exuded a hazy and bright moonlight, corresponding to the bright moon hanging high in the sky.
"It's been a long wait, the second round begins." With a single hand, Duke wiped the wound from his shoulder to his lower abdomen healed instantly. The sharp black eyes stared at Jian Eight tightly, cold and arrogant but arrogant but compelling, suddenly exuding a strong force that was proud of everything.
"The wound is gone, it's interesting...... The ability of the Slashing Knife? That means you're more resistant to cutting! Seeing this, Kenpachi was not afraid, but became ferocious, and slashed at the top of Duke's head with one stride.
"Ignorant God Merry βββ Jiaolong!"
