At this moment, Retsu Unohana slowly drew the Asauchi from her waist, her eyes as cold as a demon from hell.
"Chimi Shinra, Moryo Bansho, all gods and saints, turn to dust, Soumetsu!"
The instant Ito Makoto unleashed Soumetsu, Retsu Unohana had already transformed into an afterimage.
"Pfft!"
After one strike, Ito Makoto saw his Soumetsu and the right arm holding the sword flying in mid-air!
Blood gushed from the severed arm!
"Ah!"
Ito Makoto screamed in pain.
"It's alright, I'll reattach your severed arm later, so rest assured!"
Retsu Unohana looked calmly at Ito Makoto's severed arm lying on the ground.
As expected of someone from Kenpachi's squad, Ito Makoto endured the intense pain of his severed arm and temporarily stopped the bleeding with Kidō, then picked up the Soumetsu from his right hand on the ground with his left hand.
"Soumetsu Secret Art — Four Directions Realm!"
In an instant, the Four Directions Realm enveloped both of them, but Ito Makoto found that Retsu Unohana on the opposite side had suppressed her spiritual pressure to the same level as his own.
Due to the weakening effect of the Four Directions Realm, Unohana's original speed and strength, already significantly held back, were further suppressed by thirty percent.
Conversely, Ito Makoto received a certain amplification.
"Makoto-kun, is this your Zanpakuto? What an interesting ability!"
Even with this give-and-take situation, Ito Makoto still found it difficult to block Unohana's sword.
"Whoosh!"
Unohana stepped out with a Shunpo, slashing towards Ito Makoto's remaining left arm.
Ito Makoto also used Shunpo to create distance the moment the blade touched his shoulder.
But a bloody mark was still left on his left shoulder.
Retsu Unohana was somewhat surprised by this, then praised him:
"Makoto, I've long heard that you often spar with Soi Fon, it seems you've learned her Shunpo quite well!"
While speaking, Unohana's figure, like a ghost or demon, rushed over again, this time aiming for Ito Makoto's chest and abdomen.
Yet, Ito Makoto surprisingly didn't dodge, allowing Unohana to pierce his chest.
Taking advantage of this instant, Ito Makoto raised Soumetsu high with his left hand and slashed down.
However, Retsu Unohana sidestepped and dodged it, only cutting off a few strands of her hair.
Unohana kicked out, sending Ito Makoto, who had only one arm left and a pierced chest, flying, then reached out and caught her severed hair!
"This kind of life-for-life, low-level tactic, did you learn it from Kenpachi?"
Retsu Unohana looked at the hair in her hand, then at Ito Makoto struggling to get up, and smiled.
"Not bad, you do resemble him a bit, but you are not him!"
After saying that, a rare hint of excitement appeared on Retsu Unohana's face as she charged at Ito Makoto again.
Seeing this, Ito Makoto showed no weakness, holding his sword carefully in his left hand, and rushed towards Retsu Unohana!
"Clang!"
After a sound of clashing metal, Ito Makoto's Soumetsu broke into two pieces, and a gruesome wound was slashed across his chest, blood flowing profusely.
The next instant, Ito Makoto's vision went black, and he lost consciousness, fainting.
...
"Where am I...?"
Ito Makoto slowly opened his eyes, a warm ray of sunlight shining through the window onto his face.
