Chapter 36. Let's fight with all our might (Part 36)

Inside the Fourth Division training ground.

Unohana Retsu looked at Higashino Shuichi, who was lying on the ground, seemingly deprived of his fighting ability by her Flying Dragon Strike and Heaven-Shaking Roar Cannon. Instead of rushing forward to finish him off, she first used her No. 54 Hado, Waste Flame, to completely destroy the two chains that had been binding her feet.

Then he unleashed the Fifty-Eighth Breaking Technique, Tianlan, in all directions.

Several whirlwinds rose up, blowing away all the mist created by Higashino Shuichi's Thunderous Powder.

It was precisely because of Unohana Retsu's cautious behavior that the nearly ten spirit beings scattered in various corners were all exposed.

Two of the spirit beings had even merged together, their two large mouths simultaneously chanting the incantation of the Ninety-First Path, the Black Coffin.

"I knew it."

Unohana Retsu was not surprised at all by this.

Because Higashino Shuichi's performance was somewhat different from Unohana Retsu's expectations.

too weak!
Based on her understanding of Higashino Shuichi, even before he broke through to the Captain-level spiritual pressure, he should have been able to dodge the Flying Dragon Strike Thunderous Roar Cannon in time, given his Shunpo technique, even after being weakened by both the Azure Fire Drop and the Round Gate Fan.

Not to mention, once she actually started to use the spiritual particles within her body to perform the Kido, Unohana Retsu could clearly feel that not only her movements, but also the flow of spiritual particles within her body was not as smooth as before.

In other words, in reality, Shuichi Higashino had ample time to react.

"They're trying to lure me closer."

Unohana Retsu turned around and stepped forward. The next moment, she appeared in front of the two spirit beings who were almost finished chanting.

With a cross-shaped slash, the two spirit beings instantly turned into white light and vanished into the air.

"Ah"

Sensing the disappearance of the two spirit beings created by his own spirit particles, Higashino Shuichi, lying on his back on the ground, revealed a smug smile of triumph as his scheme succeeded.

It was as if I could hear the crisp sound of a gentle breeze.

Unohana Retsu saw a spark of lightning appear right in the center of her chest and was somewhat incredulous.

Arcs of electricity coursed through her body, bringing an indescribable feeling of numbness.

Bai Lei!

Unohana Retsu could not possibly be unaware of the name of this demonic path.

As only the fourth type of Kido, it is one of the basic Kido taught to novice Shinigami at the Shinigami Academy, and it is also a Kido whose practical value has been seriously underestimated.

Although its power is much weaker than those higher-level Hakudo due to its low level, when Unohana Retsu was hit directly at close range, the White Lightning couldn't break through her defense and could only cause her to feel numb.

The question now is, where did this bolt of lightning that struck her come from?

And, as is foreseeable.
More white thunder!
Lightning flashed through Unohana Retsu's vision. These countless white lightning bolts caused her negligible damage, but when their numbers accumulated to a certain extent, Unohana Retsu found herself completely unable to move.

Her brain wanted to command her body to act, but her body was completely unable to respond to the command.

"The best strategist employs unconventional tactics, the fourth method of breaking through defenses: Wind and White Thunder."

Looking up at the sky, Higashino Shuichi silently said to himself. His Zanpakuto's Shikai ability, Kissou, can add an extra attribute to any of his attacks, and based on the different attributes added, it can add additional effects.

Fire represents destruction; ice represents slowness; thunder represents acceleration; and wind represents obstruction of vision.

This ability can be inherited by the spirit beings created by Higashino Shuichi, but the price is that those spirit beings can only use Kido below number 30 due to the burden.

The Nine Luminaries Binding that Unohana Retsu was previously afflicted by Higashino Shuichi.

However, Higashino Shuichi played a little trick and did not reveal the full name.

Using the two chanting spirit beings to attract Unohana Retsu's attention, and taking advantage of the brief moment when normal people would temporarily lower their guard, the spiritual pressure fluctuations dissipated by the two spirit beings would cover up the wind and white lightning released by the other spirit beings, thus completing the final chain of white lightning paralysis plan.

Everything is unfolding exactly as Higashino Shuichi predicted.

The most dangerous part of the whole plan was Retsu Unohana's choice after Shuichi Higashino fell to the ground.

One thing that Unohana Retsu might not have expected was that Higashino Shuichi hadn't left any tricks up his sleeve. The reason he didn't dodge the Flying Dragon Strike and the Heaven-Shaking Roaring Cannon wasn't intentional, but because he had previously separated too many Spirit Particles, leaving him completely powerless against Unohana Retsu's sudden counterattack.

Fortunately, Higashino Shuichi knew he was bound to lose anyway, and even if he did, Unohana Retsu wouldn't do anything to him. Therefore, he dared to take a gamble. Unohana Retsu, however, was unaware that Higashino Shuichi was actually very clear about her true strength.

Therefore, Retsu Unohana is actually considering Higashino Shuichi's choice from her own perspective.

This information asymmetry disadvantage directly led to Retsu Unohana falling behind in this small game against Shuichi Higashino.

With only four spirit beings remaining to continue bombarding Unohana Retsu with white lightning, Higashino Shuichi controlled the other spirit beings back to his side, then extinguished them with one hand, taking back all the remaining spiritual power from them.

In this way, although Higashino Shuichi's strength and injuries would be difficult to recover in a short period of time, he still possessed enough spiritual energy to make a decisive move.

"A faint, murky emblem, an untamed and arrogant talent; a surge, a denial, a paralysis, a fleeting moment, hindering eternal slumber. The crawling iron princess, the self-mutilating clay doll, uniting, rebounding, extending to the ground, knowing its own powerlessness."

Higashino Shuichi slowly finished reciting the chant, then pointed his left index finger at Unohana Retsu.

"Ninety of the broken path, black coffin!"

The enormous coffin rose up and swallowed Retsu Unohana, who was still in a state of paralysis.

Just as Retsu Unohana was about to be completely engulfed by darkness, Shuichi Higashino seemed to see an excited smile on her face.

However, Shuichi Higashino was equally excited.

Unlike the black coffin that imprisoned Yoruichi Shihōin before, this time, Shuichi Higashino unleashed it without holding back, and the power of the black coffin was far greater than that of Yoruichi Shihōin.

Even though she knew beforehand that there was a huge gap between her and Unohana Retsu, Unohana Retsu did not release her spiritual pressure until the very last moment she was imprisoned.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi felt a strange sense of anticipation.

just in case
That means Retsu Unohana might have one more person to think about for the rest of her life.

However, at this most crucial moment, a very abrupt voice echoed throughout the training ground.

"Hideichi Higashino!!!"
