Bard erupted in a burst of reishi beneath his feet, instantly appearing above Yamabuki's head, and fired an arrow at Yamabuki's crown.
Yamabuki was slightly startled. This person's speed was so fast!
He was far beyond those miscellaneous Quincy he had encountered before.
Yamabuki backhanded his Zanpakutō, shattering the incoming Heilig Pfeil, and at the same time, with a flick of his left hand, a miniature reishi bow appeared, which he used to shoot at Bard.
Bard's expression instantly became very subtle, and he roared in a low voice, "You are also a Quincy? Then why did you betray His Majesty? And stand with the Shinigami?"
Yamabuki sneered, "Guess? Take this woman away; she's an excellent test subject."
When Bard heard Yamabuki say that, his expression instantly grew even uglier: "Let them go!"
At the same time, he leaped into the air at an extremely fast speed, drawing his bow and notching an arrow, but just then, Yamabuki below him vanished like a ghost.
"Flash Flower."
Yamabuki instantly appeared behind Bard, and Bard found that his arm had already been pierced by a single strike.
Bard immediately broke out in a cold sweat. This Shinigami's combat power was completely different from the Shinigami he had encountered before, like a white rabbit suddenly turning into a golden tabby from the Northeast.
"Shinigami, state your name. I do not kill nameless ghosts!" Bard stared coldly at Yamabuki.
"Gotei 13 Chief of Staff, Yamabuki."
"So that's it. It seems you are also a leader-level figure among the Shinigami." Bard released his hand, and the reishi bow disappeared from his palm. Yamabuki cautiously took a half-step back.
A Quincy's weapon is a bow and arrow, but this Quincy in front of him actually voluntarily gave up his weapon. What did that mean?
He did not think the other party would surrender voluntarily.
"Shinigami, you will die because of your carelessness." Bard's spiritual pressure, completely different from that of ordinary Quincy, erupted from his body: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Arenas Bard, Sternritter H."
Yamabuki's pupils contracted. What the hell? Sternritter?
The Sternritter from a thousand years ago?
Had Yhwach already used his abilities to create a large number of super-powered individuals?
This was important information!
Bard pounded his arms, and a lot of yellow sand leaked from his sleeves.
At first, Yamabuki thought the sand was hidden in Bard's sleeves, but he quickly realized something was wrong. The sand grew more and more, eventually filling the entire hall.
"Shinigami, this is my final ultimatum to you. Release them immediately, and I can let you leave safely." Bard looked worriedly at the unconscious Ishida Oborozuki.
"It seems your relationship is unusual, isn't it?" Although Yamabuki was extremely vigilant, he still maintained a playful smile: "How about you two come with us to Soul Society? The scenery there is unique, very suitable for living."
"Only dead people go there. I think this world is pretty good. Since you don't plan to let them go…" Bard raised his arm and flicked it violently. Instantly, the yellow sand on the ground gathered into a long whip as if alive, lashing down at Yamabuki's head.
Yamabuki concentrated his spiritual pressure on his Zanpakutō and slashed, but only a few grains of sand were cut away. The rest of the yellow sand lashed at Yamabuki with overwhelming force.
Yamabuki's body was directly torn open, skin and flesh ripped apart. Every grain of sand was like a steel knife scraping bone. Even with his hardened skin, it couldn't fully resist. His body, struck by the Whip of Yellow Sand, instantly turned into a bloody mess!
Yamabuki crashed through two walls consecutively, falling into a pile of rubble.
Bard said indifferently, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Alright, next is you. I am still a gentleman; this girl will be merciful."
Bard pointed at Saitō Furōfushi.
Saitō Furōfushi looked at Bard with an indifferent attitude. This kid's ability was so strange. He didn't use a Zanpakutō, nor did he use Kidō, yet he could control yellow sand at will. Was it some special ability? And…
"Boom!!!!"
Yamabuki, who had been whipped away by the Whip of Yellow Sand, stood up from the ground as if nothing had happened, and at the same time, unleashed his spiritual pressure. Silver-white spiritual pressure shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds.
Bard's expression became very solemn. To be able to stand up after being hit by his Whip of Yellow Sand, was this even human?
"It hurts so much! But it feels so good! Is this the famous Schrift?" Yamabuki walked over, covered in blood, with a sinister grin on his face.
Yhwach allowed his subordinates to drink his blood, thereby granting them more power and also stimulating the potential of these Quincy, developing various strange abilities.
Yamabuki felt that this was very similar to a Zanpakutō.
However, it was normal for them to be similar. Shinigami and Quincy were originally from the same source.
Bard looked on in shock as the shocking wounds on the young man in front of him healed at an extremely fast rate.
"What kind of ability is this? High-speed regeneration! Are you… a Hollow?" Bard's CPU was almost overloaded. Why would a young man simultaneously possess the powers of a Shinigami, a Quincy, and a Hollow?
This was illogical!
"Your ability is to control yellow sand? And it's a natural type!" Yamabuki recalled an anime he watched in his previous life, One Piece. By eating a Devil Fruit, one could gain various superpowers, including the Sand-Sand Fruit.
"No, my ability is not just to control yellow sand; more accurately, it's to control sandstorms." Bard raised his hand to the sky, and in an instant, the sky darkened, fierce winds rose, and yellow sand filled the air!
It seemed the opponent's ability could not only control yellow sand but also affect the weather!
"This is even more interesting, Saitō, don't make a move, let me have a good time with him." Yamabuki instantly unleashed his power, his five fingers like steel blades thrusting towards Bard's face. Bard subtly moved his will, and the overwhelming yellow sand all surged towards Yamabuki.
Every grain of yellow sand was like a steel knife!
As soon as it touched a person's skin, it would desperately drill into the flesh, then move irregularly to destroy the body's tissues.
However…
"This level of attack, I can just blast through it with spiritual pressure, right! Hahahaha!!!" Yamabuki violently unleashed his spiritual pressure, forming an even more exaggerated and terrifying storm around him, directly blowing away all the nearby yellow sand. Then, at a speed imperceptible to the human eye, he appeared before Bard and slammed a punch into Bard's stomach.
Bard instinctively used yellow sand to create a shield, but how could this small shield resist Yamabuki's attack?
Although a portion of the punch's power was reduced, it still solidly struck Bard's lower abdomen!
