Bleach Swordsman of Kusajishi

“ta~ta~ta~ta~”

The sound of footsteps reverberated in the room as Kimura Muyang took a few steps back to regain his posture.

“Gah!”

Kimura Muyang fiercely spat out as he tasted something similar to iron in his mouth, which was blood.

After tearing off his partially torn clothes completely, Kimura Muyang turned his attention to Yamamoto Genryūsai again.

Yamamoto Genryūsai was surrounded by flames, and the Zanpakuto in his hand continuously exuded terrifying Reiatsu.

Contrary to Kimura Muyang’s unsightly state, even Yamamoto Genryūsai’s clothes were unscathed. He still had that composed look on his face as if he wasn’t in the middle of a battle.

“Do you seriously think you can beat me if this is all you got? How ridiculous!” Yamamoto Genryūsai said after seeing Kimura Muyang’s unsightly state.

Yamamoto Genryūsai then added while still looking straight at Kimura Muyang: “Your resolve still not enough. Are you taking me lightly? This is a fight, not a child’s playhouse. You keep saying that you want to kill me, but I can’t feel any killing intent from your Zanpakuto.”

Kimura Muyang seemed shocked by what Yamamoto Genryūsai just said.

“If this is truly all you got, then this farce is as good as over! I’m really disappointed!”

An even more powerful Reiatsu burst out of Yamamoto Genryūsai, and a compressed air blade was hurled straight at Kimura Muyang, almost cutting off his ear, and a few strands of his hair fell because of the compressed air blade that destroyed the floor in its path.

Kimura Muyang’s pupils dilated. This is…bare-naked killing intent!

Kimura Muyang looked toward Yamamoto Genryūsai once again, and the look on his eyes gradually changed.

“That was just a warning just now, kid. If you don’t want to die, come at me like your life depends on it! I’m tired of this farce! I didn’t remember teaching you to show mercy on the battlefield. I’m sure Kimura Kazuya also taught you never to hesitate in the middle of a fight.”

“I’m sure that man told you to cut down your opponent the moment you drew your sword.”

Kimura Muyang slowly stood up and straightened his back. His Reiatsu was steadily rising, and the doubt in his eyes disappeared as he looked at Yamamoto Genryūsai.

“Although I was surprised by your words and determined to kill you at all costs at first, after actually taking you on, I notice something’s off.”

“You forbade anyone from coming here, including Captain. That order itself is very suspicious. As the Gotei 13’s Captain-Commander, I can’t think of any reason why you’d go that far.”

“I notice even more strange things after the fight. You said that you couldn’t feel any killing intent from my sword, but I can return those exact words to you.”

“There are too many things that bother me. About Kimura Kazuya, about you, about me.”

“Thinking and worrying about stuff has never been my forte. It’s too much of a hassle. I thought you would eventually tell me, so I didn’t plan to take things this far.”

“But from the looks of it, you don’t have any intention to explain and insist on fighting me alone. In that case, Hakureisa, dispel!”

After dispelling Hakureisa, a much heavier Reiatsu burst out from Kimura Muyang. After a year of learning under Captain-Commander, Kimura Muyang was incomparably stronger than during his fight with Watanabe Keiryū.

“Come on, then! I’m counting on you to give me a satisfactory answer after the fight.”

This time, Yamamoto Genryūsai didn’t even bother concealing his awe as he felt the pure Reiatsu bursting out of Kimura Muyang.

“Hangetsu ——”

Kimura Muyang’s movement was almost impossible to capture, yet suddenly, a semi-circular compressed air blade streaked toward Yamamoto Genryūsai.

Even the composed Yamamoto Genryūsai couldn’t help but raise one of his eyebrows the moment he saw Kimura Muyang’s super fast slashing technique

“Nadegiri ——”

Yamamoto Genryūsai raised his Zanpakuto that was covered by flames and hit Kimura Muyang’s compressed air blade with one swift slash. The collision between their Reiatsu whacked the entire room.

“A good attack. Both its speed and strength are impeccable. So that’s a move you develop on your own…”

Yamamoto Genryūsai didn’t even hesitate to express his admiration.

“Yeah, pretty flashy, isn’t it?”

“You impertinent kid!”

Those were the only words that came out of Yamamoto Genryūsai before his posture slightly changed.

Kimura Muyang observed Yamamoto Genryūsai’s movement closely. However, he was still too late to react as Yamamoto Genryūsai was already ducking right in front of him and swung up his Zanpkuto.

Kimura Muyang immediately sidestepped and the tip of Yamamoto Genryūsai’s Zanpakuto almost cut Kimura Muyang’s eyebrow, and the scorching flame on Yamamoto Genryūsai’s Zanpakuto almost grazed Kimura Muyang’s cheek. Kimura Muyang could even smell something burnt from his eyebrow.

Kimura Muyang used Shiun’s power on his feet to enhance his speed and immediately made some distance from Yamamoto Genryūsai. “That was a close one.”

Kimura Muyang stroked his chest and sighed in relief.

“Was it?”

When Kimura Muyang heard the voice was coming right from behind, his eyes widened.

He was completely too late to react and was sent flying by the strong impact that hit his back. Luckily, he managed to fix his posture as he fell to the ground, and even then he still had a hard time breathing after the impact.

He felt as if all of his bones are broken. Thankfully he was used to Yamamoto Genryūsai’s punch. Otherwise, he would’ve died by now.

Kimura Muyang couldn’t help but sigh in relief that he was still alive.

“I don’t know if you are naive or stupid. You wield a sword with one hand yet do nothing with the other.

Even though Yamamoto Genryūsai’s tone was no different than usual, it was clear that he was being sarcastic right now.

“How are you so sure I didn’t do anything?” Kimura Muyang said with a smirk on his face.

“Huh? “

Yamamoto Genryūsai was startled by Kimura Muyang’s response, and as soon as he was about to lift his foot, he saw several translucent chains on the ground were binding his legs.

With a glance at his eyes, Yamamoto Genryūsai said: “Oho? I’ve never seen you use that Kidō before, but what are you planning to do with merely a Bakudō of this level?”

“Merely this level? Are you sure about that?”

“Bakudō #61. Rikujōkōrō.”

“Bakudō #75. Gochūtekkan.”

“Bakudō #79. Kuyō Shibari.”

Kimura Muyang instantly used 3 high-level Bakudōs to restrict Yamamoto Genryūsai’s movement.

“Excellent Bakudō, but you should’ve known that this level of Bakudō won’t be able to stop me, right? Are you trying to kill me with Kidō alone?”

Despite being bound by three Bakudō, Yamamoto Genryūsai did not even panic. He even had time to comment on Kimura Muyang’s tactics.

“You really are naive if you think you can defeat me with Kidō!”

“I never think I can stop you with those Bakudō from the beginning, nor did I plan to defeat you with Kidō alone. I simply wanted to test out the Kidō I just learned.”

Yamamoto Genryūsai was baffled. The kid in front of him actually used him as a test subject!

Yamamoto Genryūsai was furious and his Reiatsu was steadily rising, weakening the Bakudō that Kimura Muyang used on him earlier.

“Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness,”

As soon as Yamamoto Genryūsai heard the words Kimura Muyang was chanting, he didn’t seem as composed as earlier anymore. It was a #90s Hadō’s incantation. Even Yamamoto Genryūsai wouldn’t escape unscathed if he took it head-on.

“Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky. The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders. Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired.”

“Hadō #91. Senjū Kōten Taihō!”

Right before Yamamoto Genryūsai could completely break free from Kimura Muyang’s Bakudō, he realized the chanting was over.
