"Bankai!" Yamabuki was surrounded by many powerful enemies and had no choice but to use Bankai. In an instant, scarlet spiritual pressure burst out from his body, and the faces of the five Quincies surrounding him looked very solemn.
"Is this the shinigami?" A new Quincy had a very unpleasant expression on his face. The spiritual pressure emanating from this shinigami far exceeded that of anyone present and was simply not something they could compare to.
"Don't underestimate the enemy. The fact that three members of the Sternritter couldn't deal with him is enough to prove his strength. Let's attack together, and don't give him a chance to breathe," another Quincy shouted.
Yamabuki was carrying Saitō Furōfushi on her back, holding zanpakutō in both hands, and was extremely alert.
He was wary not only of the five enemies in front of him but also of the attacker who had been hiding in the dark.
That was the real trouble. Both he and Saitō were trapped by each other.
"Attack!!!"
The five Quincies attacked from five directions simultaneously, using all sorts of abilities.
Yamabuki made a gesture of drawing his sword and slashing, using his waist as an axis and drawing the sword in an instant.
"Asura. The Third Sword!"
In an instant, the five people present were attacked from three different time points, and each of them could only block the current sword but could not block the attacks from the past and the future, so that five people were injured at the same time, and they retreated in embarrassment. Yamabuki took this opportunity to break away from their encirclement.
Although he was not afraid, if the fight continued, it would be dangerous if Saitō remained injured.
Now we have to find a place to treat her injuries.
Then, with the help of spatial movement and time speed-up, Yamabuki instantly escaped from the Quincy's pursuit.
The five Quincy stood where they were, each with a very ugly look on their face. They did not expect that the opponent's strength was so terrifying that they were injured in an instant.
If it weren't for the defensive Blut Vene, they would have been even more seriously injured.
"First treat the wounds on your body, and then report this matter to the leader." Bard said in a deep voice, "But we can't let these people escape no matter what. He has obtained the secret that is enough to threaten the entire Wandenreich."
Before falling asleep, Yhwach sent a message to all the Quincies, asking them to gather near the palace to prevent anyone from disturbing him while he was sleeping. Therefore, all the strong men of the Sternritter and the Quincies gathered nearby.
The people present did not dare to stay and returned to the palace as quickly as possible to report the matter to the current leader of the Sternritter.
Yamabuki was carrying Saitō on her back and flying quickly in the sky. It was already dusk. Saitō was lying on Yamabuki's back, motionless. Yamabuki could only faintly feel her weak breathing.
Upon realizing that the enemy had not caught up with him, Yamabuki breathed a sigh of relief.
He came directly to the mansion of the middle-aged nobleman and lay secretly in the attic. It seemed that no one would chase him in the short term.
Finally there is time to heal, Saitō.
The fatal wound on Saitō's body was in her lower abdomen. The wound was penetrated by an invisible force, and her internal organs were seriously damaged. If it weren't for her strong spiritual pressure, she might have died.
Yamabuki used a knife to gently cut open the clothes on her abdomen, simply cleaned the blood, and then began to treat her with Kaidō.
Halfway through the treatment, Saitō woke up slowly and found that his clothes had been rolled up to his chest. She said weakly, "Are you going to take advantage of my lack of strength to resist and do something weird to me?"
When Yamabuki heard that she could still joke, he knew that her injury was not serious.
"Yes! It's rare to see you in a battle-damaged version. I will strip off all your clothes in a moment, and then do some unspeakable things. Just bear with it!" Yamabuki increased the intensity of the treatment, and an emerald green light flickered near the wound.
After five or six minutes, Saitō's injured stomach and internal organs slowly healed, and she finally passed the critical period.
"By the way, please help me treat the wound on my hand!" Saitō raised her left hand, and Yamabuki then saw that there was a bloody hole in the palm of her left hand.
"How did you feel when you were attacked?" Yamabuki said while treating the wound.
Saitō shook her head slightly. The opponent's ability was really weird. Logically speaking, with their strength, no matter what attack they faced, even if they could not resist it, they could at least find out who launched the attack and what the attack pattern was.
Is it a sword attack or kidō? Is it a poison or a curse?
However, the attacker's attacks were invisible, and he always launched them secretly when the two of them were nervous.
Yamabuki vaguely guessed that it might be a spatial ability, because only the power of time and space could achieve this effect.
But he quickly rejected his guess.
The person who is best at playing with time and space in the world today is Yamabuki, and I'm not bragging.
If someone uses the same method to attack him, he will definitely notice it. Even if he can't avoid it, at least he can find the attacker.
But all this happened silently.
Yamabuki discovered that in the fierce battle just now, one side of the twin ponytails that Saitō was wearing was cut off, turning it into a single ponytail.
It looked very uncomfortable, so he just untied her hair and gave her a new hairstyle.
"You can also comb girls' hair?" Saitō said with some surprise.
"Well, actually, I didn't know how to do it before. Later, when I lived with Unohana, she often asked me to comb her hair. Your hair quality is not as good as hers." Yamabuki complained while giving Saitō a new hairstyle.
Saitō rolled her eyes and said, "The mission has failed, but we have seen more useful information. Should we go back?"
Yamabuki shook his head slightly, with madness in his eyes.
"I have an even crazier and bolder idea. Of course, I can do it myself. You go back to Soul Society first and tell the Captain-Commander all the news we have discovered." Yamabuki said.
"What are you talking about in your sleep? If I leave you here and go back alone, the Captain-Commander will chop me to pieces. Tell me your plans quickly. I'll just go through fire and water with you, no matter what." Saitō said.
Yamabuki hesitated for a moment and then said what was on his mind.
"According to the information provided by Ishida Oborozuki, the Quincy's palace is 150 miles to the west, and the Quincy King Yhwach is sleeping there." Yamabuki whispered, "What I mean is... while Yhwach is sleeping, why not find a chance to kill him directly!"
Saitō pinched her chin and thought, "So what this means is that the two of us just break into the enemy's base camp and kill them all?"
