The Bankai Sword Spirit was about to pierce Yamabuki's heart with the Zanpakuto in her hand when suddenly, the sky turned dark.
Yamabuki's inner world was composed of two parts: one was a pure white world, representing the Sword Spirit's spatial power.
The other part was a crimson world, representing the Bankai Sword Spirit's time power.
But now, this sky was neither red nor white. Instead, it was the purest darkness.
A premonition of ill omen appeared in the Bankai Sword Spirit's heart. How could such a bizarre scene appear?
Suddenly, a furious reishi surged from in front of him. Yamabuki broke all restraints and swung his Zanpakuto with full force.
The Bankai Sword Spirit showed no fear, counter-swung her Zanpakuto to meet it, and activated the ability of Time Erasure.
However, nothing happened!
There was only the purest clash of reishi!
"Boom!!!"
The reishi of both sides were equally matched. After one strike, they each retreated a few steps and stood firm.
"How did you do that? Even the god of this world couldn't escape the control of time." The Bankai Sword Spirit said coldly.
What surprised her most wasn't that the opponent had escaped the control of time, but that her own control over time had failed.
"Do you remember the space sphere I mentioned earlier? I just made an extra-large space sphere! Large enough to envelop both of us. With my reckless reishi support, this space sphere will exist for a while longer. The space inside is an absolute vacuum, where time and space do not exist, so your power to control time naturally cannot be exerted. The only things left that can harm each other are reishi and the Zanpakuto in our hands. Come on, let's have a pure man's fight!" Yamabuki revealed a ferocious grin on his face.
Since the fight began, he had been constantly pressured, and now, finally, he could catch his breath.
Moreover, creating such a large space sphere would be impossible in the real world; thankfully, this is an inner world.
"Heh heh, do you think I'll be afraid of you like this?" The Bankai Sword Spirit unleashed a terrifying reishi that was in no way inferior to Yamabuki's!
Even if she couldn't use her Zanpakuto's abilities, what then?
Top-tier swordsmanship, top-tier Kido, top-tier Hakuda, top-tier physical prowess, top-tier reishi.
All configurations had reached the pinnacle that a Shinigami could achieve!
Since that's the case, let's solve the problem with a sword.
"Flash Flower!"
"Flash Flower!!!"
Red and white lights collided, and both their Zanpakuto pierced each other's bodies. However, the moment the Zanpakuto were pulled out, both their wounds healed at the same speed.
"Hado #90, Kurohitsugi!" Yamabuki raised his hand and released Kurohitsugi. Instantly, countless blades pierced the Bankai Sword Spirit's body.
As Kurohitsugi shattered, the Bankai Sword Spirit pressed her hands to the ground: "Hado #99, Goryutenmetsu."
Five crimson giant dragons soared into the sky, and Yamabuki's body was instantly engulfed by the crimson reishi!
Because this world has no reishi, they can only consume their own reishi; every bit consumed is one less, and there's no way to replenish it by absorbing reishi.
"Shunko!"
Yamabuki, like a raging cheetah, burst out of the crimson reishi, punching the Bankai Sword Spirit in the face.
At the same time, the Bankai Sword Spirit's Zanpakuto also pierced his wrist.
Although both sides possessed super-regeneration, with the aid of Kaido, the wounds could regenerate even faster.
However, both sides' reishi were dwindling, and they couldn't afford to waste reishi on Kaido anymore.
When Kaido is used to heal others, it first stimulates the patient's body to raise their reishi, and then heals them.
But if used on oneself, the reishi recovery doesn't keep up with the consumption, making it a net loss.
Yamabuki could no longer afford to consider much at this point. While fighting, he was also maintaining the space sphere, consuming far more reishi than his opponent. If the stalemate continued, he would undoubtedly lose.
His Zanpakuto attacked the Bankai Sword Spirit like a furious storm!
The Bankai Sword Spirit also entered a state of bloodlust, her swordplay all offense and no defense. The two exchanged blows, fighting to see who would collapse first!
A moment later, both their blood splattered throughout the entire space!
Both were panting heavily!
"It looks like a war of attrition is advantageous for me!" The Bankai Sword Spirit laughed.
Yamabuki didn't waste any words with the other party. Every single moment was crucial now, so he continued his frantic assault.
His reishi was almost unable to sustain him!
This sword strike was an all-or-nothing gamble!
If it succeeds, it succeeds; if not...
Two streams of red and white reishi collided with world-destroying force!
A moment later, the surging reishi dissipated.
Yamabuki stood rooted to the spot, dazed, then raised his hand. The Silver Radiance Angel in his grip was broken, and the Bankai Sword Spirit's Zanpakuto had pierced his heart from the front.
"As expected..." Yamabuki spat out a mouthful of blood. Suddenly, he reached out and tightly embraced the Bankai Sword Spirit.
"What does this mean? Do you want to die in big sister's embrace?" The Bankai Sword Spirit asked.
In her opinion, the outcome of this battle was already decided.
"Cough, cough!" Yamabuki's nose and mouth continuously seeped blood: "No, look, this space is about to collapse! If I die, this space will completely disintegrate, and you and I will be completely churned into fragments by the spatial turbulence, just like that hand of mine! So... surrender."
Yamabuki's face showed a gambler's sinister grin.
"Crack!"
White cracks suddenly appeared in the black sky.
"My reishi is almost unable to hold on. Either we both die together, or we merge into one!" Yamabuki said.
The Bankai Sword Spirit's expression changed continuously.
The cracks in the sky were becoming more and more numerous.
"I can only hold on for a few more seconds, there's no time left. Die together? Or live together?" Yamabuki Ditang asked.
The Bankai Sword Spirit looked at the young man in front of him, and finally revealed a helpless, bitter smile.
"You're truly a troublesome child, using this method to force me to give myself to you." The Bankai Sword Spirit reached out and gently stroked Yamabuki Ditang's head: "Since you like me so much, then let's be together!"
Yamabuki Ditang's face showed a desperate smile!
He succeeded!
He finally succeeded!
Just then, the spatial sphere completely shattered.
Yamabuki Ditang's consciousness also completely disappeared.
After an unknown amount of time, when Yamabuki Ditang opened his eyes this time, he found himself lying on something soft. When he reached out to touch it, his hand met with silk-like smoothness.
This sensation...
It couldn't be wrong!
It was definitely black silk!
"Why are you so restless right after waking up?"
The Bankai Sword Spirit's voice came, and Yamabuki Ditang saw that he was lying on the Bankai Sword Spirit's lap.
The girl's round, straight legs, coupled with exquisite black silk!
This life was worth it!
Just let me pass away like this!
Yamabuki Ditang thought happily in his heart.
At this moment, the inner world changed.
The sky was blood red, and the earth was pure white.
The Silver Radiance Angel's Sword Spirit sat not far away, silently watching him.
