Chapter 376: Cutting Game
"Hey, Death, I've given my name, what about you?"

Kenpachi Zaraki looked down at Lu Li and didn't care about what Lu Li did to the weakling. Although he was a little unhappy that his prey was taken away, he didn't think that this weak prey could bring him much joy in battle.

On the contrary, the god of death in front of him looked very strong, and perhaps it could make him happy.

"Captain of the 11th Division, Gotei 13. You can call me Lu Li, or you can call me... Lu Jianpachi."

Lu Li said with a smile that during the conversation, the Spirit King's tissue had been extracted, and it seemed that the volume was quite large. After it was formed, Lu Li felt that it was in the shape of lungs.

All we can say is that the man who was frightened by Zaraki had very poor quality himself, and was unable to develop the power of the Soul King. Otherwise, referring to a series of strong men like Ukitake Jushiro who had Soul King organizations, an organization as large as his could have made him very powerful.

But he was a refugee who had not received any systematic training and whose talents were not high enough. His strength was limited and he was unable to develop his power.

As Lu Li spoke, he took out a container and stored the Spirit King's lungs.

Kenpachi Zaraki, who was standing by, looked at him with a burning gaze when he heard Lu Li announce his identity.

Each of Lu Li's identities stimulated Kenpachi Zaraki's nerves, especially when he heard the title Kenpachi at the end, his blood boiled.

"Ah... I remember now. I once fought against a Shinigami named Kenpachi."

Kenpachi placed one hand behind his head, activating his memories, and a fanatical smile gradually appeared on his face as he spoke, "It seems that you will be very strong."

"Ajian, you look very happy."

Yachiru spoke cheerfully, quickly creating a new nickname.

After extracting the Spirit King's lungs, Lu Li picked up the refugee at his feet and threw him far away with his skill.

Then he turned around and looked up at Kenpachi Zaraki, "You can fight me if you want, but if you lose, you will join my 11th Division."

"Lose? Lu Li, wait until you beat me!"

As he spoke, Kenpachi Zaraki took the lead in drawing his sword, swinging it from above, chopping Nosaka vertically down.

boom--

A huge roar sounded outside of Rukongai, smoke and dust rose into the sky, shock waves dissipated to the periphery, and rows of trees fell down.

The refugees in the Zaraki District felt this spiritual pressure and the alarming noises, and thought that some powerful Hollow had appeared, and they fled to the inner circle in fear.

A gust of wind blew, carrying the smoke and dust towards the forest in the north. In the big pit below the smoke and dust, there was a protruding pillar, as if before receiving the impact, there was something indestructible blocking the front, shielding all the impact.

Lu Li stood above the pillar, with one hand bent forward, his four fingers and thumb interlocked, grabbing the blade of Yeshai.

“Hey, hey, this is the first time I’ve seen someone who can grab my knife like this, hahahaha…”

When Kenpachi Zaraki saw this scene, he was first shocked, then ecstatic. He was about to draw his sword back, but found that he couldn't pull his old friend away with his first effort.

At this time, Lu Li raised the index finger of the hand that was holding the blade slightly, and then brought it down like hitting a piano, lightly hitting Ye Sha's blade.

The next moment, spiritual pressure burst out, the sword intent was transmitted, and several scars appeared on Kenpachi Zaraki's chest. He retreated with a large amount of blood gushing out.

"Ajian!"

Seeing this, Yachiru Kusaka exclaimed and grabbed Zaraki's clothes tightly from behind in worry. It was the first time she saw Ajian being beaten so badly.

It was just a face-to-face encounter, but the other party didn't even draw his sword. He just used his hands to block Ajian's sword. Not only that, he turned his hand over and seriously injured Ajian with a method that she couldn't understand.

Kenpachi Zaraki staggered back amid the spurting blood, retreating four or five meters in a row, and stood firm in the pit. There was no fear on his face, only a fanatical smile, "Great, this kind of power, it seems I can enjoy it!"

He retreated to the edge of the pit, exiled Yaqian, and said, "Run away on your own."

"Ajian..."

Yaqianliu was a little worried, but when he saw Ajian's happy expression, he stopped talking and ran to the outside obediently.

She looked very small, like a two-year-old kid, but her short legs allowed her to run very fast, far beyond the capabilities of ordinary children.

In fact, she had been picked up by Ajian many years ago and was not as young as she looked.

After sending Yachiryu away, Kenpachi Zaraki stood up straight. The blood on his chest had been stopped by his skills because the wound was not very deep.

He placed his left hand behind his neck and moved it, making a sound of loosening his muscles and bones. Just as a sound of breaking air was heard, he raised his right arm and caught Ye Sha.

"Lu Li, you returned the sword to me like this. I really was underestimated."

Kenpachi Zaraki said this, but he held the Nozomi tightly without much hesitation. He just liked to enjoy fighting, but did not want to die in battle. In order to enjoy fighting forever, he hoped to survive in the battle.

And if there is no sword, wouldn’t the subsequent fight be boring?

"I just don't want to fight with unarmed people. That's boring."

Lu Kai said, "Come on, I'll stand still and chop you with my sword. You should have more than this amount of strength, right?"

Just now, when Kenpachi Zaraki was fighting with the man with the Soul King Organization, he discovered that Kenpachi Zaraki's strength was surprisingly weak.

This is not the level he should be at. You have to know that hundreds of years ago, Captain Unohana in her prime fought against young Zaraki, but was no match for him. Now that Zaraki is an adult, he should have become stronger.

It was only because when Zaraki first faced such a powerful opponent as Unohana, he despairingly discovered that even Unohana could not satisfy his desire to fight, that he sealed his own abilities bit by bit.

The result is that this has become an instinctive habit. During the years that Gengmu has been wandering in Rukongai, he has actually been in a state of negative growth.

In other words, he was the strongest when he was young, but his strength declined as he got older. After all, the opponents he fought all day long were all weaklings, and if he didn't make himself weaker, he would probably be bored to death.

At this moment, Kenpachi Zaraki who was in front of Lu Li, based on his intuitive feeling of fighting, had a comprehensive attribute of output of about 70 points, which was pitifully weak.

But he knew that Kenpachi Zaraki's strength was far more than that. If he could fully unleash his potential, his comprehensive attributes would definitely exceed 100.

In the original work, on the eve of the Battle of Karakura Town, Aizen also said that being able to trap Kenpachi Zaraki and Unohana in Hueco Mundo was a strategic victory.

Even Aizen at that time would be afraid of Kenpachi Zaraki's potential power. After all, this kind of ferocious and reckless man would not necessarily rely on his five senses when fighting. If he fought based on his wild instincts, complete hypnosis might not be effective.

In the original work, Kenpachi Zaraki also underestimated Kenpachi Zaraki, and the result was that in his original ending, he was killed in seconds by Kenpachi Zaraki's explosion...

Therefore, Lu Li admired the man in front of him in terms of fighting style and real strength. He just came out to find the physical tissue of the Spirit King, but he didn't expect to meet such an interesting opponent like Kenpachi Zaraki. It would be a pity if he couldn't stimulate his potential and let him have fun.

"How dare you say that..."

Kenpachi Zaraki did not insist too much. In his opinion, fighting was a matter of give and take. There was no need for him to refuse his opponent's invitation, as it would make him look stingy. At worst, he could just let Lu Li fight back later.

As he spoke, he exerted force with his feet, dirt, sand and gravel flew everywhere. The moment a big pit appeared, his figure arrived in front of Lu Li at the same time.

Ye Sha slashed diagonally from top to bottom. This time he used more strength and felt a sense of exhilaration, which was far superior to his first strike.

Now that he has tested the strength of his opponent and is sure that he is not someone who can be easily killed by him, there is no need for him to hold back.

Amid the roar, the shock wave of spiritual pressure was transmitted, and this time the ground beneath Lu Li's feet collapsed.

Because this is just the wilderness, there are no barriers and no venues made of special materials, so the battle place seems particularly fragile, and an area can be destroyed by the impact of two people at any time.

In the shockwave, Kenpachi Zaraki stood in front of Lu Li, "Tsk, this feeling doesn't seem to penetrate the flesh."

Sure enough, after the smoke and dust cleared, he saw that his sword stopped in front of Lu Li's chest, only cutting his clothes. But when the blade touched Lu Li's skin, it was as if it had cut something harder than divine iron, and could not move forward an inch.

He raised the knife and put it on his shoulder. He neither retreated nor continued to attack. "Come, I'll give you a blow, too."

"seriously?"

Lu Li looked at the solidified bloodstain on Kenpachi Zaraki's chest. That was the injury caused by his first burst of spiritual pressure.

"I've understood. You're not such a fragile fellow. My next strike will adapt to your 'hardness'. And I'm not someone who can be chopped down so easily."

Kenpachi grinned wildly, "Come on, fight!"

Lu Li sighed that the other party was really a fighting maniac. Only people like Kenpachi Zaraki like to play this kind of hack-and-slash game.

But he feels it is quite interesting now. As a foreplay, it is a good entertainment.

Under Kenpachi Zaraki's gaze, the Demon Prisoner on Lu Li's waist slowly unsheathed. The purple-black blade absorbed the afternoon sunlight, making the temperature around it seem to drop a few degrees.

In order to avoid accidentally killing Kenpachi Zaraki with one blow, Lu Li did not use the Shikai, nor did he activate the active skill of Soul Eater, and even turned off the passive effect of Soul Eater.

Because Kenpachi Zaraki cannot heal, his recovery ability is not very strong. In the original work, he fell down after being seriously injured because of his reckless fighting style.

Obviously he still has a lot of spiritual pressure, but if his spiritual body is damaged, he will not be able to continue to support the battle.

Lu Li slashed upwards from below, and when he hit Kenpachi, a sound of metal clashing was heard.

"Oh? It's getting hard."

Lu Li said with interest that his Prison Demon failed to cut into Kenpachi's body, but stopped at his side, unable to advance an inch.

Now use the reconnaissance skill to look at Kenpachi. Under the opponent's tense spiritual pressure, his comprehensive attributes have risen to 85 points.

At this level, it is already the standard for captains, and some captains may even have to rely on Shikai Bankai to have such strength.

Kenpachi Zaraki is very adaptable. In fact, he has been limiting his own output and just loosens the valve little by little as the battle progresses.

"Hey……"

Kenpachi Zaraki grinned, revealing his white teeth. "It's my turn, right?!"

Having said that, without waiting for Lu Li's response, he slashed down with the sword in his hand with madness.

In an instant, Lu Li sensed the crisis, activated the Ghost Armor, and raised his attributes. At the same time, he concentrated on protecting the place that was about to be hit with the armed color.

boom--

Amidst the dull sound of collision, the impact continued to transmit downward through Lu Li's body. The power of spiritual pressure made the big pit below deeper and wider.

I saw Kenpachi Zaraki's sword standing on Lu Li's chest, and there was a feeling that the blade was squeezing the flesh. In this state, the jagged blade scratched across Lu Li's body, bringing up dazzling sparks.

"Great, this feeling, you are really tough!"

Kenpachi Zaraki had a look of surprise on his face. He clearly felt that the power of his sword was stronger than before, but the feeling of the sword had also changed this time, as if it was about to break through the defense.

Not only that, he could feel that Lu Li seemed to have become a lot stronger in that instant, which meant that the Lu Li in front of him was definitely not someone who could not be chopped down. If he had not increased his strength, he would have definitely been chopped in half by him.

“That’s a bit interesting.”

Lu Li, who was in the Ghostly Escape Mode, had a hard time taking Zaraki's sword, because Zaraki Kenpachi had just burst out with a very strong spiritual pressure, with a comprehensive attribute of over 90 points.

If he hadn't raised his attributes in time and combined it with his spiritual pressure and armed color domineering defense, it wouldn't be as simple as just breaking the defense, it would really be fatal.

He pushed away Zaraki's wild weapon, holding the Prisoner in his hand at his side, "Let's stop here. Have you recovered some of your form? If you lose next time, don't regret it."

"Repent?"

Kenpachi Zaraki grinned, "Wouldn't it be awesome to join the 11th Division if I could fight opponents like you every day!?"

He had had enough of playing house with these self-proclaimed strong guys in Rukongai, each of whom boasted about his reputation.

Just like today when he returned to his hometown, he heard that there was a guy called 'Ghost Dragon King' in the local area. He sounded very arrogant with this title, but when they fought, he found out that he was just a weakling who couldn't even block his sword.

The Grim Reaper in front of him was still interesting. It was the first time he had seen someone who could play two rounds of the hack-and-slash game with him.

If he were to hang out with a guy like this, every day would be fun, and he would be able to enjoy fighting all the time.

"Really? Then I'll let you be my vice-captain."

Lu Li grinned and sank slightly, "Break the chains, Prisoner Demon."

As the initial release was activated, Lu Li's aura suddenly changed, and even the violent power of the Ghost Escape Armor was calmed down a little because of the purple mist.

The next moment, Kenpachi Zaraki's pupils shrank because his dynamic vision lost its target.
