"Bankai!" Yamabuki was surrounded by numerous powerful enemies. In desperation, he could only use Bankai. Instantly, a crimson spiritual pressure burst from his body, and the five Quincy surrounding him all looked extremely grave.
"Is this a Shinigami?" A newly arrived Quincy had a very ugly expression. The spiritual pressure unleashed by this Shinigami far surpassed anyone present; they simply couldn't compare.
"Don't underestimate him. Three Sternritter members couldn't deal with him, which is enough to prove his strength. Let's all attack together; don't give him a chance to breathe," another Quincy shouted.
Yamabuki carried Saitō Furōfushi on his back, holding a sword in each hand, extremely vigilant.
He was not only wary of the five enemies in front of him but also of the ambusher who had been hiding in the shadows.
That was the real trouble; both he and Saitō Furōfushi had fallen into the opponent's trap.
"Attack!!!"
Five Quincy simultaneously launched attacks from five directions, unleashing a dazzling array of abilities.
Yamabuki assumed a drawing-sword stance, pivoting at his waist, and instantly drew his sword.
"Asura Three Lifetimes Sword!"
Instantly, the five people present were attacked from three different points in time. Each person could only block the current sword, but could not block attacks from the past and future, causing all five to be injured simultaneously, retreating in disarray. Yamabuki seized this opportunity to break out of their encirclement.
If he continued to fight, he wouldn't be afraid, but Saitō Furōfushi would be in danger.
Now he had to find a place to treat her injuries.
Then, with the addition of spatial movement and time flow, under the blessing of these two abilities, Yamabuki instantly escaped the Quincy's pursuit.
The five Quincy stood in place, each with a very grim expression. They had not expected the opponent's strength to be so terrifying, injuring all five of them in an instant.
If it weren't for the Blut Vene defense, they would have been even more severely injured.
"First, deal with your wounds, then report this matter to the Captain," Bard said in a deep voice. "But no matter what, these people cannot be allowed to escape. He has already obtained a secret that could threaten the entire Wandenreich."
Before Yhwach went into slumber, he sent a message to all Quincy, instructing them to gather near the Silbern, precisely to prevent anyone from causing trouble while he was asleep. Therefore, the entire Sternritter and all the powerhouses among the Quincy were gathered nearby.
Those present did not dare to delay and returned to the Silbern at the fastest speed to report this matter to the current Captain of the Sternritter.
Yamabuki carried Saitō Furōfushi, rapidly traversing the sky. It was already dusk, and Saitō Furōfushi lay motionless on Yamabuki's back. Yamabuki could only faintly feel her weak breathing.
Sensing that the enemy hadn't caught up, Yamabuki finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He went directly to the middle-aged noble's mansion from before, secretly hiding in the attic. It seemed no one would pursue them for a short time.
Finally, he had time to treat Saitō Furōfushi's injuries.
Saitō Furōfushi's fatal wound was in her lower abdomen. The wound was pierced by an invisible force, and her internal organs were severely damaged. If not for her strong spiritual pressure, she might have already died.
Yamabuki gently cut open the clothes on her abdomen with a small knife, simply cleaned the blood, and then began to treat her with Kaidō.
Halfway through the treatment, Saitō Furōfushi slowly woke up, finding her clothes rolled up to her chest. She weakly said, "You're not taking advantage of my weakness to do something weird, are you?"
When Yamabuki heard that she could still joke, he knew her injury was not serious.
"Yes! It's rare to see a battle-damaged version of you. I'll strip off your clothes in a bit and do some indescribable things. Bear with it!" Yamabuki increased the intensity of the treatment, and a emerald green light flickered around the wound.
After five or six minutes, Saitō Furōfushi's injured abdomen and internal organs slowly healed, finally passing the danger period.
"Help me with the wound on my hand too!" Saitō Furōfushi raised her left hand, and only then did Yamabuki see a bloody hole in her left palm.
"What did you feel when you were attacked?" Yamabuki asked while treating the wound.
Saitō Furōfushi shook his head slightly. The opponent's ability was too bizarre. Logically speaking, with their strength, no matter what attack they faced, even if they couldn't block it, they should at least be able to discover who launched the attack and what the attack pattern was.
Was it a sword slash or a spell, poison or Kidō.
However, the ambusher's attacks were launched invisibly, always ambushing them secretly when their minds were tense.
Yamabuki vaguely guessed that it might be a spatial ability, because only spatial and temporal power could achieve such an effect.
But he quickly dismissed his own guess.
In this world, the person who played with space-time the most skillfully was Yamabuki. This was not bragging.
If someone used the same method to ambush him, he would definitely notice it. Even if he couldn't dodge, he could at least find the ambusher.
But all of this happened silently.
Yamabuki noticed that during the fierce battle just now, one of Saitō Furōfushi's twin ponytails had been cut off, turning into a single ponytail.
It looked a bit uncomfortable, so he simply untied her hair and styled it into a new hairstyle for her.
"You can even style a girl's hair?" Saitō Furōfushi said with some surprise.
"Hmm, actually, I couldn't before, but later when I lived with Unohana, she often asked me to style her hair. Your hair quality isn't as good as hers," Yamabuki complained while giving Saitō Furōfushi a new hairstyle.
Saitō Furōfushi rolled her eyes: "Now that the mission has failed, but we've seen more useful information, shouldn't we go back?"
Yamabuki, however, shook his head slightly, his eyes burning with madness.
"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 information we've discovered," Yamabuki said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If I leave you here and go back alone, the Captain-Commander would skin me alive. If you have a plan, tell me quickly. I'll brave fire and water with you," Saitō Furōfushi said.
Yamabuki hesitated for a moment, then spoke his mind.
"According to the intelligence Ishida Oborozuki provided earlier, one hundred and fifty li to the west is the Silbern, where the Quincy King Yhwach is slumbering," Yamabuki whispered. "My idea is… to take advantage of Yhwach's slumber and find an opportunity to directly kill him!"
Saitō Furōfushi pondered, pinching her chin: "So, you mean the two of us will directly break into the enemy's stronghold and rampage?"
