Chapter 213 Death Battle
The crimson swamp spread out beneath their feet, like an endless red carpet, enveloping the entire battlefield in an eerie and oppressive atmosphere.
Unohana Yachiru stood in the center of the swamp, her Zanpakuto completely deformed.
The blade transformed into flowing red liquid, condensing in the air to form a massive, blood-red longsword. Dark red light flowed across the blade, as if countless blood-red snakes were crawling along its edge.
The gentle smile still lingered on her face.
But those eyes were filled with a frenzied killing intent.
Jhin stood in the crimson swamp, his ankles and below completely submerged in the red liquid.
He could feel the liquids eroding his body, devouring his power, and suppressing his flames.
The flames behind him had gone from burning fiercely to flickering erratically.
The dark red flames danced on the wings, like candle flames that could be extinguished at any moment.
"This world is very interesting."
Jin's voice was hoarse and deep, and there was no fear in his red eyes, only a calm analysis.
"It can suppress my flames, devour my regenerative abilities, and even prevent my wounds from healing."
He paused.
"But do you think you can defeat me like this?"
'
A smile spread across his face.
"The strength of the Lunaria race is not just limited to their regenerative abilities and fire."
His body jolted violently.
The flames behind them suddenly went out.
No, it's not extinguished.
It has been taken back.
The dark red flames burning on his wings seemed to be drawn back into his body by something.
A strange light flickered in his pupils.
Unohana Retsu's brows furrowed slightly.
"The flames have gone out?"
There was a hint of doubt in her voice.
"No, it's not extinguished."
Her eyes widened suddenly.
"It has been moved."
She jerked backward, but it was too late.
Jhin's body suddenly vanished from the spot.
No, it didn't disappear.
It is so fast that it is completely impossible for the naked eye to perceive it.
The next second, Jin appeared behind Retsu Unohana.
The Flame Blade, Fire Emperor, swung down fiercely, aiming for Unohana Retsu's back.
This strike was at least three times faster than before.
There were no flames on the blade, but a dark red aura swirled around its edge. This was the special energy of the Lunaria race, which transformed the power of flames into pure speed and strength.
Unohana Retsu's pupils suddenly contracted.
She didn't have time to dodge.
She could only hold her Zanpakuto horizontally behind her to block the attack.
The blades clashed, producing a loud bang.
Sparks flew everywhere.
Unohana Retsu's body was thrown forward by the shock. She tumbled several times in the air before landing on the ground. Her feet carved two deep furrows in the blood-red swamp, and she slid for more than ten meters before coming to a stop.
Her arm was trembling slightly.
A small wound appeared on the web of her hand.
Fresh blood gushed from the wound and dripped into the blood-red swamp.
But the blood was absorbed as soon as it touched the swamp, and her wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's not a Devil Fruit's regenerative ability.
It is Retsu Korenohana's own recovery ability.
In the world of "Extinction", she can perform excessive treatment on herself.
"The speed has increased."
""
Her voice remained gentle, but now it carried a hint of seriousness.
"It's not that it's gotten faster, it's gotten incredibly fast."
"It seems my idea was correct; the Lunaria race has two forms."
"Unohana Yachiru said, squinting her eyes."
"One form is a defensive form, with flames burning on its back, and its body's defense reaches its limit, making it impenetrable to any attack."
""
"The other is the speed form, which retracts the flames and converts all the energy into speed and power, reaching the limit of attack power. Am I right? The remnants of Lunaria."
Before the Unohana was finished, Jin's body disappeared from the spot again.
"You're right, and I can switch between these two forms at any time."
Before he finished speaking, he had already appeared to Unohana Retsu's left.
The flaming blade slashed horizontally, aiming for the waist of the egg flower.
Unohana Retsu's eyes sharpened.
She didn't dodge.
She raised her Zanpakuto and blocked the attack.
But Jhin's attacks did not stop.
One cut, two cuts, three cuts, four cuts, five cuts.
Each strike was as fast as lightning, and each strike was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Moreover, the angle of each strike was extremely tricky, and each strike was aimed at Unohana Retsu's vital points.
Head, neck, chest, abdomen, waist, arms, and legs.
Knives are fatal.
Retsu Unohana's body weaved through the flashing blades, her Zanpakuto twirling in her hand, each turn precisely blocking King's strike.
But she clearly couldn't keep up with the speed.
Because Jhin is too fast.
It was so fast that her eyes couldn't catch it.
It was so fast that her body and Observation Haki couldn't react.
She could only rely on instinct and the experience accumulated from countless years of battle to predict Jhin's attacks.
But she couldn't block the knife.
Ember's flaming blade struck her shoulder.
The blade sliced through her shihaka armor, her skin, and her muscles.
Fresh blood gushed out.
Unohana Retsu's brows furrowed slightly.
She suddenly stepped back, creating distance between them.
She looked down at the wound on her shoulder.
The wound was very deep, deep enough to expose the bone.
Blood gushed from the wound, staining half of her body red.
But there was no pain on her face.
There was only a hint of surprise.
"Your speed is indeed very fast."
Her voice remained gentle.
"It's so fast that my body can't keep up."
She paused.
"but----"
A smile curved her lips.
"Your attack wasn't powerful enough."
A soft red light shone on the wound.
That is the healing power of "all-out".
In this world, she can overload herself with treatment.
The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Muscles regrow and skin is re-covered.
In less than three seconds, the wound was completely healed, leaving no scar.
Jin's eyes widened suddenly.
"How...how is this possible?"
There was a hint of disbelief in his voice.
"Your regenerative abilities—are even stronger than Jack's?"
Unohana Retsu's lips curved into a smile.
"Jack's regenerative abilities come from his Devil Fruit powers and the Rokushiki's Life Return, right?"
Her voice was very soft, so soft it sounded like a sigh.
"My recovery ability doesn't come from that."
She paused, then raised her Zanpakuto, and the red liquid on the blade began to flow.
"Furthermore, while your attacks are fast, they lack power."
"Your speed form sacrifices defense, but that's also my opportunity."
A flicker of excitement flashed in Jin's eyes.
"Then you should try this."
His body disappeared from the spot again.
This time, he was even faster.
It was so fast that it tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
He appeared before Retsu Unohana, and with a sudden thrust of his flaming blade, aimed for Retsu Unohana's heart.
He used all his strength in that strike.
He believed that this stab would pierce the woman's heart.
Unohana Retsu stared at the knife aimed at her heart, her eyes as calm as a still pond.
She didn't dodge.
She simply turned slightly to the side, letting the blade graz her heart before piercing her shoulder.
Then, she grabbed Jhin's wrist with her left hand.
Jin's eyes widened suddenly.
He wanted to back away, but it was too late.
Retsu Unohana raised her Zanpakuto with her right hand and slashed at Jin's neck.
"Sometimes combat is very simple."
Faced with this situation, Jhin's body suddenly switched forms.
The flames behind them reignited, illuminating the entire blood-red swamp with their crimson glow.
Instead, his skin was covered with a layer of hard scales.
Human-beast form plus defensive form.
He was going to use his defensive stance to block the attack.
The blade struck his neck.
There was no blood.
There was only one muffled thud.
The blade struck a steel plate with a dull metallic clang.
There was only a faint white mark on Jin's neck.
Unohana Retsu's brows furrowed slightly.
"The defensive power of its defensive form is truly incredible."
There was a hint of surprise in her voice.
"My knife can't even cut through your skin."
A smile spread across Jin's lips.
"As I said, in defensive mode, no attack can penetrate my defenses."
He swung his sword sharply with his right hand, aiming for Unohana Retsu's head.
Unohana Retsu loosened her grip on his wrist and jerked her body backward, dodging the attack.
She stepped back ten meters and stopped.
She stood there, looking at Jin, her eyes as calm as a stagnant pool.
But she was thinking.
"This man's abilities are troublesome."
She thought to herself.
"In speed form, the speed is so fast that my eyes can't keep up, but the defense is very low and the attack power is also insufficient."
"In defensive mode, its defense is so strong that even my sword can't cut through it, but its speed is very slow and its attack power is average."
"He can switch between these two forms at any time."
"As long as he's fast enough, he can switch to defensive mode the instant he attacks and block my counterattack."
"And if his defense is strong enough, he can switch to speed mode the instant he is defending and attack me."
"This is a perfect cycle."
A smile curved her lips.
"Perfect ability."
"The perfect way to fight."
"The perfect enemy."
A flicker of excitement flashed in her eyes.
"but----"
Her voice was very soft, so soft it was as if she were talking to herself.
"Your abilities have a fatal weakness."
She looked up at Jin, a smile curving her lips.
"You can only switch between these two forms, but you cannot use both forms at the same time."
"In other words, when you attack in speed form, your defense is low."
"When you're defending in defensive stance, you're slower."
"As long as I can catch you the moment you switch forms, I can hit you."
"you're right."
His voice was hoarse and deep.
"But can you catch it?"
His body disappeared from the spot again.
Velocity pattern.
He was moving at incredible speed, rushing towards Mao Zhihua Lie.
Unohana Retsu's eyes sharpened.
She didn't dodge.
She stood there, gripping her Zanpakuto, watching the blade hurtling towards her.
The flaming blade of Jin pierced towards her chest.
The blade was only one meter away from her chest.
Fifty centimeters.
Thirty centimeters.
ten centimeters.
Just as the blade was about to pierce her, she suddenly turned her body to the side, dodging the blow.
Then, her Zanpakuto slashed towards Jin's waist.
Jin's eyes widened suddenly.
His body suddenly switched forms.
Defensive mode.
Flames ignited behind him, revealing scales on his skin.
He had to block the blow.
The blade struck his waist with a dull thud.
Another white mark appeared.
There was no blood.
Unohana Retsu's brows furrowed slightly.
"Tch, is it too late?"
A smile spread across Jin's lips.
You can't capture that moment.
His body changed form once again.
Velocity pattern.
The flames behind them went out.
His flaming blade swung out fiercely, slashing towards Unohana Retsu's head.
Retsu Unohana raised her Zanpakuto and blocked the attack.
But the shock caused her to stumble back a few steps.
"Your switching speed is very fast."
"So fast that my knife can't catch up."
She paused.
"but----"
A smile curved her lips.
"Can your switching speed be faster than this?"
She raised her Zanpakuto, and the red liquid on the blade began to flow.
The liquid gushed from the blade, transforming into countless red threads that flew towards Jin.
The silk threads moved at an astonishing speed, instantly binding Jin's body.
Jin's eyes widened suddenly.
"What is this?!"
He tried to break free, but the threads were incredibly strong, like steel wire, tightly binding his body.
His wings were tangled, his arms were tangled, his legs were tangled, and his neck was tangled.
His entire body was wrapped in red silk threads.
"This is my ability. It's a pity I can't cut with a knife directly, but it's not a problem against such an outstanding guy."
"Bloodline".
"These lines are formed from the congealed blood of my entire being."
"They are tougher than steel, softer than silk, and faster than lightning."
"Moreover, they will drain your energy."
Jin's body jolted violently.
He could feel it; the threads were absorbing the fire energy within his body.
The flames behind him grew weaker and weaker.
His body grew heavier and heavier.
His strength was growing weaker and weaker.
"impossible!"
He roared, his body suddenly swelled, and he tried to break free of the threads with brute force.
But the silk thread did not break; instead, it became more and more tightly wrapped.
"it's useless."
"These threads will automatically adjust their strength according to your strength."
"The greater your strength, the more resilient they become."
You can't break free.
She raised her right hand and gently hooked her finger.
The threads tightened suddenly, pulling Jin's body toward Unohana Retsu.
Jin's pupils contracted sharply.
He could only watch helplessly as his body was pulled toward Unohana Retsu.
Retsu Unohana raised her Zanpakuto, and the red liquid on the blade began to condense, forming a blood-red sword edge.
"Your abilities are indeed very strong."
Her voice was very soft, as if she were talking to an old friend.
"Your switching between speed and defense modes is really a headache."
"The defensive power of your defensive form is truly incredible."
"but----
She paused.
"You forgot the most important thing."
She raised her Zanpakuto and aimed it at Jin's heart.
