Chapter 1501.2: Shinigami Skills
Although Saejin had been a swordsman for many years, he didn't pay much attention to practicing ordinary sword techniques. Most shinigami actually looked like him. They used spiritual pressure, kido, and zanjutsu in combat. As for basic skills, they didn't care about them at all, and even Yamamoto was no exception.
Simply put, they tried to win a battle only with brute force, and the winner in battle was not the one who was more experienced and agile, but the one who had more energy and strength.
The shinigami fight was actually like trying to banally kill each other by roughly comparing spiritual pressure, kido, and zanjutsu.
In Su Xiao's eyes, Saejin was manipulating his sword as if he was wielding a bat instead of a sword.
When the sword blades collided, Su Xiao and Saejin leaned forward at the same time, maintaining and strengthening their center of gravity.
In terms of strength, Saejin was superior to Su Xiao, but in the first skirmish, he was unable to push him back.
Saejin's pupils widened slightly and a huge pressure immediately fell on Su Xiao's body.
Saejin turned on his spiritual pressure.
When captain-level shinigami fought against ordinary shinigami, they usually didn't even need to draw their swords, they could only win with their spiritual pressure alone.
As soon as Sajin released his spiritual pressure, he immediately heard a sharp whistle from the left side.
On reflex alone, he immediately pressed his left hand to his side.
With a bang, Su Xiao's foot hit Sajin's forearm, and he used the recoil as a springboard, jumped up and hit Sajin's stomach with his other foot, then bounced back.
As soon as he pushed away from the shinigami, Su Xiao immediately swung his sword and the blade of the sword slashed right across Sajin's face.
Sajin's sword immediately swung up, but he was a little late.
With a crack, the bamboo hat on his head shattered into two pieces, revealing a view of his face.
Seeing how easily Su Xiao landed on the ground, Saejin was a little surprised because he couldn't understand how he had just done all this.
Su Xiao never relied on stats alone, he was the type of person who relied more on his skills, but when he met a weak enemy, he preferred to kill them quickly with his brute strength.
As soon as Su Xiao landed, he immediately swung his sword and a flash of light immediately flew straight at Saejin.
Using the bright flash as cover, Su Xiao immediately charged forward, aiming for the shinigami's left side.
If Sajin decides to fight off the flash with his spirit sword, he will open a gap in his defense, allowing him to launch a serious attack.
But even though Sajin wielded his sword like he was swinging a big bat, it didn't mean that he was completely bad. Although shinigami used swords, only a few of them actually used swords for their intended purpose.
Most of the time, they only needed the sword to activate their skills.
Most of these skills were actually not related to the sword and the spiritual sword was only needed for such shinigami to activate their special skills, therefore, more than 80% of shinigami were not very good at swordsmanship, but this was normal, because usually they only needed to activate a couple of their skills to win a battle and that was all.
Because of this, there was no need for them to delve into the basics of swordsmanship.
Sajin, seeing a bright flash coming towards him, held his sword horizontally in front of him.
— And just as Sajin said that, a huge katana appeared in the sky and struck straight at the ground.
With a loud explosion, the ground shattered in all directions.
The flash of light that was rapidly approaching the shinigami disappeared.
Sajin held his spirit sword and stood in a stance to strike again. The huge hand that held the katana was created by him.
This hand along with the katana were created from spiritual particles.
The giant hand along with the sword started to slowly disappear, but because of the rising cloud of dust, Su Xiao was nowhere to be seen.
The fact that Sajin had just activated his skill became a reference point, and this reference point indicated the last moments of his life.
As the dust cloud settled, Saejin looked in Su Xiao's direction and was surprised because this seemingly weak scholar was completely unharmed!
From the very beginning, Saejin didn't give in to his opponent. Although Su Xiao's personality in the Soul Society was a bit special, Saejin didn't see anything wrong with him eliminating this "scholar" today.
Since they didn't have any personal grudges, they didn't try to provoke each other in any way.
In this battle, the weak will die and the strong will survive.
However, such rules were also in the Soul Society, a place where only the strong were respected.
