Yamabuki used Sonido to appear above Starrk, clasping his hands together and slamming them downwards. Immediately, the white desert sand on the ground formed waves dozens of meters high, spreading outwards.
When the desert sand waves dispersed, Starrk stood calmly directly above Yamabuki: "You're not the only one who can use Sonido!"
Yamabuki quickly looked up. Starrk raised his hand and blasted a Cero directly into Yamabuki's face!
The ground once again sent up a huge desert sand wave!
Yamabuki realized that the opponent's strength was superior to his own. This time, he changed his form; the four wings on his back retracted into his body, and his spiritual pressure further increased.
At this point, Yamabuki's form was more human-like, very close to the legendary Vasto Lorde.
"Evolved?" Starrk frowned, vaguely realizing that something was wrong. He continuously fired Ceros with both hands. However, this time, not a single one of his Ceros hit Yamabuki, because Yamabuki had adopted the exact same posture as him, firing Ceros at the same frequency.
Starrk's ability after his Resurrección was infinite Cero, which once suppressed Kyōraku Shunsui, making him unable to counterattack.
But at this moment, Yamabuki's speed in firing Cero was surprisingly not slow at all compared to him. In an instant, the originally black night sky was split in two, one side pure white, the other pure blue, with countless Ceros colliding and exploding in mid-air.
Starrk immediately understood that this kid was learning his abilities.
How could there be such a monster in this world?
Suddenly, Yamabuki's Cero stopped. It wasn't because the skill imitation was incomplete, but because Batsu'unsai Katori's Mizore sliced him in two, shredding the internal organs in his waist.
Overwhelming Ceros pressed down, and Yamabuki's body was about to be pulverized. The next second, countless small spatial spheres, only ten centimeters in diameter, appeared in mid-air. Although these spatial spheres could only exist for a few seconds, they were indestructible. These dense small spatial spheres formed a wall, and no matter how Starrk furiously bombarded it, he couldn't break through this defense.
"Unohana, I know you're not feeling well, but we really need your strength now. Give it your all," Batsu'unsai Katori said.
Unohana nodded slightly: "I understand!"
At the same time, Warren and Bard also made their move.
Shinigami, Quincy, Hollow—three people from completely different factions now stood together, forming a triangle to surround Yamabuki.
Yamabuki's body transformed from a monster back to human form. The initial wild and uncontrollable aura was gone, replaced by extreme calmness. He directly waved his hands, and two white bone blades shot out from his palms.
"Prepare..." Bard whispered.
"Go!" The sword in Warren's hand continuously gathered the surrounding light, unleashing a crescent-shaped blade of light. This was simply a weakened version of Getsuga Tenshō.
Yamabuki used Sonido to evade, his body appearing like a ghost in front of Batsu'unsai Katori. Batsu'unsai Katori retreated with Shunpo, while her Mizore cut forward. Yamabuki had been cut multiple times by Mizore and knew its destructive power was extremely strong, so he didn't dare to clash head-on. He jumped into mid-air and fired Ceros from his palms.
If the original Cero was a pistol, then the current frequency was a phalanx.
In just one second, the sky was covered in pale white Ceros, which then crashed to the ground like meteorites hitting Earth.
Starrk raised both hands, and countless blue Ceros erupted from his hands, creating a stalemate between the two.
"Whip of Yellow Sand!" Bard once again controlled the yellow sand to wrap around Yamabuki's body. Just as Yamabuki was about to struggle, his arm was suddenly twisted off by an invisible force; it was Justin delivering a finishing blow from afar.
Yamabuki's entire spiritual pressure burst forth, scattering the yellow sand, and he engaged in a fierce battle with everyone.
Baraggan watched these people fighting like gods, wanting to find an opportunity to sneak away, but what about the chains on his hands?
He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted to Batsu'unsai Katori: "Quickly unlock the chains on my hands! I can help you guys deal with this monster."
Batsu'unsai Katori was flustered by Yamabuki, barely managing to force him back. At this moment, her aura was slightly chaotic. The Hollowfied Yamabuki seemed to have endless stamina.
It's said there are only tired oxen, no worn-out fields.
Who knew the ox turned into a mechanical ox!
If this continued, she would eventually be exhausted to death! Unohana was the same.
Hearing Baraggan, Batsu'unsai Katori's heart stirred. If this King of Hueco Mundo could join the battle, it might have an unexpected effect. She took a key from her embrace and flicked it towards Baraggan. The key flew precisely into the lock. Baraggan was overjoyed and quickly opened the chains on his hands. At last, he could fully release his spiritual pressure.
As for helping?
Helping was impossible, never in this life!
After regaining his freedom, Baraggan immediately prepared to flee. He didn't want to get involved in the battle of these monsters. Every one of the strong individuals sieging Yamabuki was no weaker than himself. Moreover, even if he helped, he would eventually be captured again. "I won't be foolish enough to help you solve your problems."
"Everyone, goodbye!"
Baraggan turned and ran, and he ran incredibly fast.
But it was better if he hadn't run; his running immediately attracted Yamabuki's attention.
"Good boy, everyone else isn't running, only you are. What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"
Yamabuki endured a large wave of damage, used Sonido to appear in front of Baraggan, grabbed Baraggan's head, and directly slammed him to the ground.
Baraggan was on the verge of tears. "Big brother, what do you mean by this? I don't understand!"
Now, no one could understand Yamabuki's thought process.
To say his strength was indeed very strong, but facing so many powerhouses at once, he certainly couldn't win. He was only holding on by relying on his body's rapid regeneration.
Although Baraggan was almost reduced to a comedic character, he was still the King of Hueco Mundo, a Vasto Lorde-level Menos Grande. As the saying goes, even a clay figure has a three-point temper, let alone a grand skeleton like me!
Furthermore, even though Yamabuki's spiritual pressure and power had a qualitative leap after Hollowfication, his attacks were entirely instinctive, like a wild beast, and he couldn't flexibly use the power of his Zanpakutō. His actual threat was not as great as in his normal state.
Baraggan raised his fist, as big as a sandbag, and punched Yamabuki in the face, sending him flying.
"Baraggan, well done! Just like that! So this was your feint! I thought you were going to run!" Batsu'unsai Katori said.
"Big sister, please stop talking. Can't you see the look in Yamabuki's eyes towards me is off?"
Facing the encirclement of so many powerhouses from all sides, the Hollowfied Yamabuki also felt immense pressure. This couldn't continue. No matter how strong his super-regeneration was, there was a limit. Once his spiritual pressure was exhausted, he would surely die!
Then he could only...
