The moment Hui finished speaking, Yoruichi vanished from her spot. When she reappeared, she was behind Hui, a palm strike aimed squarely at his back.
Her speed was truly astonishing, practically teleportation.
To have honed Shunpo to such a level, Yoruichi's talent was undeniable. It could be said that throughout the entire Soul Society, her Shunpo was unmatched, peerless.
Moreover, this palm strike wasn't simple.
It was one of her signature abilities, called Raikōhō. The principle was to focus her palm towards the enemy, releasing her spiritual pressure like a thunderbolt, obliterating anything within range.
This attack, while not capable of instantly killing a Captain-level Shinigami, could easily overwhelm a Lieutenant.
However, Yoruichi was facing someone who could single-handedly crush the entire Gotei 13. Speed was also one of Hui's specialties.
He didn't even need to use his spatial abilities. Relying solely on his physical prowess, he effortlessly dodged the attack.
The two fought with blinding speed, transforming into two streaks of light, constantly flickering within the space. They were like two meteors chasing each other across the sky, leaving brilliant trails in their wake.
"It's been quite a while since I've used the power of Lightning." Hui spoke, condensing terrifying lightning in his palm.
The electricity was silver but, due to its intensity, shone with a brilliant white light, forming a sphere of pure electrical energy.
Light flashed and crackled as the two attacks collided.
Yoruichi's hastily constructed spells was no match for Hui's lightning and crumbled instantly.
The lightning in Hui's hand didn't stop there.
It transformed from a sphere into several thunder dragons, roaring menacingly from all directions.
They lunged at Yoruichi, their gaping maws aimed at her body.
Yoruichi's expression changed drastically.
She rapidly used Shunpo, attempting to evade the attack.
However, the thunder dragons seemed to possess their own sentience, altering their trajectory to match Yoruichi's movements, relentlessly pursuing her.
After several moments, Yoruichi still hadn't shaken off the thunder dragons.
Realizing evasion was impossible, she prepared for a direct confrontation.
She continued to use Shunpo, but this time, she prepared for a counterattack.
At a crucial moment, she unleashed a Kidō. Ordinary Shinigami required an incantation to activate such a technique. But Yoruichi needed no such preparation.
The Hadō manifested instantly, unleashing a torrent of terrifying lightning towards the oncoming thunder dragons.
This time, the lightning in Yoruichi's hand was far stronger than her previous Raikōhō.
She was confident that this attack would shatter the thunder dragons. Using an opponent's own power against them was one of her specialties.
In an instant, the two forces of lightning collided, unleashing a blinding flash and a deafening roar.
Several seconds passed before the light dissipated. Both attacks had completely neutralized each other.
However, Yoruichi's expression was grim.
She knew the gap between her and the human before her was vast, but she hadn't expected to expend so much effort just to counter one of his casual attacks.
Moreover...
"What you used just now... was that a Kidō? But why... I've never seen a Kidō like that before!" Yoruichi asked, her voice filled with disbelief.
The thunder dragons that attacked her carried spiritual pressure and exhibited all the characteristics of Kidō.
It was Kidō in every sense, but a kind she had never encountered.
"If you want to call it Kidō, you can. However, I prefer to call it Reijutsu. Because most of the techniques I create myself can be classified as Jutsu." Hui replied casually.
His research on Reiryoku had reached profound depths, naturally allowing him to create offensive techniques by manipulating it.
This was normal, commonplace, and entirely logical to him.
However, in Yoruichi's eyes, it was utterly shocking.
Creating Kidō might not be difficult, but creating such powerful Kidō was an entirely different matter.
And... this guy was a human!!! A human possessing spiritual pressure was already unbelievable, let alone wielding Reiryoku and even creating high-level Kidō used by Shinigami!
This was... truly hair raising.
"Continue. This is merely a warm-up," Hui said, bringing Yoruichi back to her senses.
Her expression was grave.
The brief exchange had shown her that this human's close-combat abilities were terrifying, and his attack methods were mysterious and unpredictable.
He was indeed someone worthy of defeating all the captains of the Gotei 13.
Continuing with conventional methods would likely be pointless.
Therefore... Shunko!
In an instant, a powerful aura erupted from Yoruichi. She had activated her Shunko.
High-density compressed Kidō enveloped her back and shoulders, also flowing into her limbs. Even a casual wave of her hand now possessed devastating power.
Hui's eyes lit up.
He was reminded of a technique from the world of Naruto: the Eight Gates Released Formation.
Both techniques could drastically amplify the user's power in an instant.
Before Hui could open his mouth, Yoruichi lunged forward, a fist aimed squarely at him.
Hui raised his hand to block, gauging the force behind the blow.
He now understood the extent of Shunko's amplification.
...
Shunkō: Raijin Senkei!!!
After another unsuccessful attack, Yoruichi finally unleashed her next form.
This was a derivative of Shunko, but far more powerful.
In this form, Yoruichi's appearance changed dramatically.
The most prominent features were the horns like that of the Thunbder god Raijin that sprouted from her head and the six drums made up of Lightning that formed on her back, like that of the drums that made a halo behind Raijin's.
By striking the drums behind her, Yoruichi could unleash a wide-range barrage of lightning strikes capable of completely obliterating nearby structures.
The destructive power was astonishing.
