Chapter 139 All things breathe
"Shadow of the Swift Blade!"
Skyler gave up using the secret technique Heart Slash, which he had not fully mastered, and instead used the more convenient Blade Shadow. An arc-shaped slash appeared and came out of the barrel. Before the bullet could even fly ten centimeters, he was killed.
Hit.
With the help of the breath of all things, the slash cut through the bullet, just like a hot knife cutting through butter, extremely smooth.
Afterwards, the slash continued to advance, and the barrel and body of the gun were cut smoothly. The slash reached in front of Izo before Izo kicked him away with his leg.
"Interesting...can you actually cut through my Haki?"
It was a matter of course that Skyler's slash cut through the bullet and the gun body. What interested Izo was that Skyler could actually cut through his haki.
Moreover... Skyler's feeling of cutting through his Haki was not directly broken by Whitebeard, Bista and others using more condensed Haki or slashes, but... he found the weakness of Haki.
Izo threw the cut flintlock away. He admitted that he had just underestimated Skyler and did not even give Skyler the most basic respect. This was the only reason why he suffered a loss.
Because he could dodge, and even as a man who fought with a gun, the middle distance was his strongest attack range, but he was too arrogant to move.
However, this is the only time I suffered a loss.
Armed domineering flowed instantly, and Izo waved his hand to make a knife, slashing directly towards Skyler.
Skyler raised his sword to block, and his body almost instinctively absorbed the sharpness of the blast sword.
"Chi~"
Protected by the armored domineering force, Izo's hand was not damaged at all on the surface, but bursts of blood mist separated from his arm.
Faced with this injury, Izang didn't feel any discomfort at all. He turned around and kicked horizontally. Skyler raised his sword to block. Blood mist came out of Izang's body, but Skyler flew directly away.
Even without weapons, Izo's body is still much more domineering than Skyler.
However, Skyler's body's tolerance was something that even Zefa admired. In just a blink of an eye, Skyler had come to his senses, adjusted his posture in the air and landed on the ground.
Without Yi Zang's gun, the threat to Skyler is greatly reduced. At least, he doesn't have to worry about long-range threats.
"Pfft~"
Just when Skyler thought of this, blood suddenly fell from her shoulder. In the distance, Izang put his hands in the same posture as a child holding a gun when playing around. His armed domineering energy flowed around him, and then... he shot out.
"Pfft~"
On the other shoulder, another blood flower floated. Skyler instantly understood that this was the use of armed haki. In the country of Wano, it was called Liuying!
Skyler instantly rolled over, stood up and charged in the direction of Izo. As long as the distance between the two was widened, Skyler had no advantage at all. Even if she could fly and slash, it was too slow for Izo.
.
As she rushed forward, Gui Binsi quickly sewed up the wound. She quickly slashed with both hands, and wisps of flowing cherry blossoms were scattered by her.
But this time, Yi Zang obviously "respected" Skyler. He did not let Skyler get closer. He walked almost in sync with Skyler's pace. While keeping his distance, he "shot at Skyler".
”.
Being "shot" from time to time prevented Skyler from entering the state of listening to the breathing of all things just now, which made the two of them stand in a stalemate for a while.
Calling it a stalemate, the truth is that Skyler has been unable to catch up with Yi Zang, but Yi Zang is just strolling around, constantly causing damage to Skyler's body.
The battle has entered a tug-of-war involving physical strength. Previously, physical strength was Skyler's biggest weakness, but now, Skyler's physical weakness has been fully compensated, and she is not afraid to compete with Izo for physical strength.
The chase between the two lasted from morning to afternoon. Skyler's body was already covered in blood, but his terrifyingly powerful body recovery ability had allowed most of his wounds to recover.
Izo's condition has not declined much. He has not been injured, or in other words, he has not suffered any eye injuries. Although his recovery is not as good as Skyler's, some internal damage caused by Skyler's slash has also healed at this time.
.
Skyler was also completely familiar with Yi Zang's rhythm at this time. Slowly, she found the feeling of listening to all things again. The distance between the two was constantly shortening, which surprised Yi Zang.
Finally, after a few hours, the two of them came into contact again. Skyler slashed like a continual wave, while Izo used the power of higher-level weapons to resist again and again.
The news bird in the sky came again to collect information about the scene. After taking a photo of the two people covered in blood, they flew away again, as if they were afraid that if they stayed for another second, they would be slashed or shot down.
Skyler is constantly adapting to Yi Zang's rhythm, and Yi Zang is also constantly increasing his combat intensity. At this time, his face is gradually becoming more serious, without the leisure and smile of the morning.
He finally understood why the captains of the large fleets were unwilling to discuss the details of the battle with Skyler.
Because this is a kind of torture, Skyler fights with the mentality of killing a hundred enemies and losing a thousand to himself. He is not afraid of getting hurt at all. Even if he is injured ten times, as long as he can hit his opponent once, this swordsman
It will bring out a smile.
It seems that everything is worth it. This kind of belief and determination makes Izo, who comes from a country of warriors, a little moved.
If a samurai can face death calmly, then the swordsman in front of him has surpassed a samurai, but is a hero, a person who can greet death with a smile.
"Oden-sama...will it be the same, right?"
Thinking about the person he had sworn allegiance to, Izang was in a daze. This trance was noticed by Skyler, and Skyler felt it. This was Izang's weakest moment!
"Sa~"
The long sword was swung, the sword light flashed, and a crescent-like blood gushes out from Yizang's body.
This is the first time that Yizang has been injured and bled due to being "cut".
Yi Zang lowered his head and touched the wound on his chest with his fingers. The pain was a bit unbearable.
Looking up, looking at the setting sun and the gradually emerging crescent moon, Yi Zang shook his head and said, "Time waits for us not."
"?"
Skyler was a little confused, but in the next moment, a fist that was too fast for her to react hit her in the face, and Skyler flew in the direction of Nurkic and others.
"Gan! A sneak attack!"
This was Skyler's last thought before she fell into coma. She thought that Izang's appearance was because he wanted to write elegant poems, but she didn't expect that when she turned around, she saw a fist as big as a casserole.
Skyler fell into the crowd, but the medical soldiers did not panic at all, and quickly started various tasks to "rescue" Skyler.
Reilly and Nurkic looked at Yizang who was slowly leaving. Yizang had no intention of leaving in a hurry, but walked leisurely and hummed a little tune.
"The hazy moonlight hangs down the east mountain
Fiery red sunset in the night sky
Dreamland full moon and red cherry blossoms flying
Missing and feeling deep in the sleeves
