The Sternritter of a Thousand Years Ago / Schrift S...

A burst of spiritual light erupted from beneath Bard's feet, and his figure instantly appeared above Yamabuki Chidori's head, shooting an arrow at the top of Yamabuki Chidori's head.

Yamabuki Chidori was slightly startled; this person was incredibly fast!

They were far superior to the ragtag Quincy we'd encountered before.

With Yamabuki Chidori shattered the incoming Reishi Arrow, and at the same time, she flipped her left hand, revealing a miniature Spirit Bow, which she then fired at Bard.

Bard's expression instantly became very subtle, and he growled in a low voice, "You're Quincy too? Then why did you betray His Majesty and stand on the side of the Shinigami?"

Yamabuki Chidori sneered, "Guess what? Take this woman away; she's an excellent guinea pig."

Upon hearing Yamabuki Chidori's words, Bard's expression instantly turned even more grim. "Release them!"

At the same time, he leaped into the air at an incredible speed, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, but at that moment, the Yamabuki Chidori below vanished like a ghost.

"Flash Blossom."

Yamabuki Chidori appeared behind Bard in an instant, Bard discovered that his arm had been pierced through by a knife.

Bard immediately broke out in a cold sweat. This Grim Reaper's fighting power was completely different from the Grim Reapers he had encountered before, like a Little White suddenly turning into Northeastern Golden British Shorthair.

"Death, state your name. I do not kill nameless ghosts!" Bard stared coldly at Yamabuki Chidori.

"Chief Strategist of the Gotei 13, Yamabuki Chidori."

"I see. It seems you're a leader among the Grim Reapers." Bard released his grip, and the Spirit Bow disappeared from his palm. Yamabuki Chidori took a half-step back warily.

Quincy's weapons are bows and arrows, but this Quincy has voluntarily given up his weapon. What does that mean?

He didn't believe the other side would surrender voluntarily.

"Death, you will die because of your carelessness." Reiatsu completely different from that of an ordinary Quincy erupted from Bard: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Ellers Bard, Sternritter H."

Yamabuki Chidori's pupils contracted. What the hell? The Sternritter?

The Sternritter from a thousand years ago?

Has Yhwach already used his abilities to create a large number of superhumans?

This is crucial intelligence!

Bard punched his arms, and a lot of yellow sand leaked out of his sleeves.

At first, Yamabuki Chidori thought that the sand was hidden in Bard's sleeve, but she soon realized that something was wrong. There was more and more sand, and eventually it filled the entire hall.

"Death God, this is my final ultimatum. Release them immediately, and I can let you leave safely." Bard looked at the unconscious Ishida Oboro with some concern.

"It seems the two of you have a special relationship?" Yamabuki Chidori, though very wary, still maintained a playful smile. "How about you two come with us to Soul Society? The scenery there is unique and perfect for living."

"Only the dead go to your place. I think this world is pretty good. Since you don't plan to release people..." Bard raised his arm and swung it violently. Instantly, the yellow sand on the ground seemed to come alive and condensed into a long whip, which lashed down on Yamabuki Chidori.

Yamabuki Chidori concentrated her Reiatsu on her Zanpakuto and slashed, but only managed to scatter some grains of sand. The rest of the yellow sand lashed out at Yamabuki Chidori with Electrocution force.

Yamabuki Chidori's body was whipped until her skin was torn and bleeding. Every grain of sand was like a steel knife scraping her bones. In fact, even Hard Skin could not completely withstand it. Her body, struck by the Sand Whip, instantly turned into a blood gourd!

The Yamabuki Chidori crashed through two walls and collapsed amidst the ruins.

Bard said indifferently, "I gave you all a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Alright, it's your turn next. I'm still a gentleman, this girl will go easy on you."

Bard pointed at Saitō Fubōfu.

Saitō Fubōfu, looked at Bard with an indifferent expression. This kid's abilities are strange; he hasn't used Zanpakuto Kidō, yet he can control the sand at will. Is it some kind of special ability? And...

"Boom!!!!!"

Despite being lashed away by the Sand Whip, Yamabuki Chidori stood up unharmed and unleashed her Reiatsu, a silvery-white Reiatsu soaring into the sky and piercing through the clouds.

Bard's expression turned extremely solemn. How could someone who had been struck by his own Sand Whip still be able to stand up? Was he even human?

"Ouch, it hurts! But it feels so good! Is this the Daimyo Schrift?" Yamabuki Chidori walked over, covered in blood, with a sinister grin on her face.

Yhwach made his subordinates drink his blood, thereby increasing their power and also stimulating Quincy potential, causing them to develop all sorts of strange abilities.

Yamabuki Chidori felt that this was very similar to Zanpakuto.

However, it's quite normal that they resemble each other, since Shinigami and Quincy are originally from the same source.

Bard stared in shock at the appalling wounds on the boy's body that were healing at an astonishing rate.

"What kind of ability is this? Super Regeneration! You are... a Hollow?" Bard's CPU was almost overloaded. Why would a teenager possess the power of Quincy, and a Hollow all at the same time?

This doesn't make sense!

"Your ability is to control sand? And it's a Logia type!" Yamabuki Chidori recalled an anime she watched in her previous life called "One Piece," where eating Devil Fruit grants various superpowers, including the Sand-Sand Fruit.

"No, my ability is not just to control the yellow sand, but more accurately, to control Sandstorm." Bard raised his hand to the sky, and in an instant, the sky darkened, a gale arose, and yellow sand filled the air!

It seems their abilities extend beyond controlling the sand; they can also influence celestial phenomena!

"This is even more interesting, Saito. Don't make a move. Let me have some fun with him." Yamabuki Chidori suddenly unleashed her power, her five fingers like steel knives stabbing towards Bard's face. Bard subtly moved his mind, and a vast expanse of yellow sand surged towards Yamabuki Chidori.

Each grain of yellow sand is like a steel knife!

Once it touches a person's skin, it will desperately burrow into the flesh and then move erratically, damaging the person's body tissues.

However...

"An attack of this level can be dealt with by simply rushing through with Reiatsu, right? Hahaha!!!" Yamabuki Chidori suddenly unleashed her Reiatsu, creating an even more exaggerated and terrifying storm around her, directly blowing away all the nearby yellow sand. Then, she arrived in front of Bard at a speed imperceptible to the human body and punched Bard in the stomach.

Bard instinctively made a shield out of the yellow sand, but how could this small shield possibly withstand the attacks of the Yamabuki Chidori?

Although some of the power was reduced, the punch still landed squarely on Bard's abdomen!

Chapter 169: The Sledgehammer

Bard felt as if he had been struck by a meteorite falling from the sky. In the instant he was hit, he even lost consciousness and was thrown dozens of meters away, landing on a street some distance away.

If it weren't for the protection of his Blut Vene, that punch would have been enough to kill him.

Why would such a monster exist in Bleach?

This is unlike any of the Grim Reapers I've encountered before.

Bard reached down and touched his stomach, discovering that his left ribs were broken into several pieces; without immediate treatment, it would be a serious problem.

Yamabuki Chidori gave him no time to react, Teleportation directly behind him and slamming Bard's head to the ground.

Bard didn't even manage a scream this time. Although he didn't lose consciousness, he was no longer able to fight for the time being.

Yamabuki Chidori wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. If the Sternritter of this era were all of this caliber, she might still be confident in dealing with them.

In this era, there were no Perfect Sanctification. Even if the Sternritter had awakened the power of Schrift, their overall strength was far inferior to that of the Captain of the Gotei 13.

"Great! Not only did I capture a pretty young girl, but I also captured a key member of the Quincy. The Old Man will definitely give me a raise, probably!" Yamabuki Chidori the Visionary.

"You bastard!!!" Bard never expected that this boy's strength was so terrifying. Once he got serious, he could defeat him in such a short time.

If Longyue falls into enemy hands, who knows how she'll be treated! What should we do?

Yamabuki Chidori raised her Zanpakuto, preparing to sever all four of the man's limbs and take them back to Soul Society, thus completing her mission.

However, the instant he landed, a the Chain suddenly flew from afar and wrapped around his wrist. Yamabuki Chidori frowned slightly. Another accomplice?

He quickly switched the knife to his left hand and slashed at the Chain.

To Yamabuki Chidori's surprise, she had used all her strength in that strike, yet the Chain remained completely undamaged.

That instantly made him take it seriously!

"Who?" Yamabuki Chidori looked at the end of the Chain.

Standing in the distance was a voluptuous older woman with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye. She wore a white uniform and white gloves, and was about twenty-five years old. She was very tall, nearly 1.8 meters, and her figure was exceptionally voluptuous. Perhaps only Katoru Hatsunoya could barely outshine her.

A faint smile played on her beautiful face, "Bard, I didn't expect you to be beaten so badly by a brat? It seems Death has finally made its move against us."

As she spoke, she dragged the Chain in her hand.

"Also, don't bother with that Younger Brother over there. You can't break that the Chain no matter what." The woman looked at Yamabuki Chidori with a smile.

Can't it be cut off?

Yamabuki Chidori refused to believe it and swung her blade again, but the chain still broke the Chain.

"This is my power. Once bound by my the Chain, no one can break free. Moreover, the Reiatsu within you will slowly flow into my body. I love this feeling the most! Let it flow more, so I can savor it!"

Yamabuki Chidori could clearly feel her Reiatsu slowly draining away. Although the rate wasn't fast, it would still be troublesome if it continued like this.

He reacted immediately, severing his own wrist with a single stroke.

The older sister covered her mouth in surprise, exclaiming, "I didn't expect him to be such a tough guy! I like you even more now!"

Just as Yamabuki Chidori severed her own wrist, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen as Bard's arm, carrying yellow sand, pierced through her lower abdomen.

But Bard's expression grew increasingly grim, because he felt that it wasn't his hand piercing through the other person's stomach, but rather that the other person's stomach was tightly gripping his hand, and he couldn't pull it out.

With a backhand Yamabuki Chidori severed the arm that was piercing Bard's stomach. Bard clutched his severed arm and screamed in agony before being kicked away by Yamabuki Chidori.

An older sister squinted, her smile slowly fading. This Younger Brother was not only ruthless to himself, but his enemy was even more ruthless. It seemed that Bard was no match for him in a one-on-one situation!

Just as she was about to launch a sneak attack on Yamabuki Chidori from behind, a sharp knife was almost pressed against her face.

The older sister hurriedly dodged with Flying Crane Legs, but a two-inch-long wound was still left on her face.

No girl can tolerate someone hurting her face.

Especially since she's such a beautiful woman?

The older sister's face immediately turned very ugly. She wanted to see who dared to hurt her face. As a result, she saw a purple-haired girl wearing an eye patch.

"Hey you over there, what kind of skill is it to fight two against one? If you're so capable, then spar with me!" Saitō Fubōfu pointed his sword at the older woman.

"You brat!" The older sister stared coldly at Saitō Fubōfu: "What's your name?"

"Captain of the Sixth Division of the Gotei 13, Saitō Fubōfu."

"Alexander Momo, S. K. A., of the Wandenreich's Sternritter." The older sister also introduced herself, "Little sister, didn't anyone in your family tell you that you shouldn't hit a girl's face when you're fighting?"

Saitō Fubōfu, didn't waste any words with the seductive and shameless woman in front of him and immediately struck her with a knife.

Momo grabbed her iron chain to block the attack. This chain, which was said to be indestructible, actually managed to block Saito's slash.

"Hmm? You've got some skills!" Saitō Fubōfu laughed.

Momo's arms were numb from the shock, and her initial composure gradually faded. At the same time, she gently waved her right hand, and a second the Chain appeared, wrapping around Saitō Fubōfu.

You can tell at a glance that this woman is a master of bondage.

Despite his Saitō Fubōfu Yamabuki Chidori cutting the Chain earlier. She knew that her Reiatsu was inferior to Yamabuki Chidori's, and she didn't have Yamabuki Chidori's ability to regenerate limbs. Once she was bound by those the Chain, it would be difficult for her to escape.

Her body was like a butterfly flitting through a flowerbed; no matter how the Chain were swung, they couldn't touch her at all.

"Bye-bye!" Saitō Fubōfu, appeared beside Momo with a series of Flash Step, his knife aimed at Momo's throat. Momo hurriedly raised her hands to raise the Chain, and the tip of the knife pierced the hole in the Chain, barely managing to block the attack.

"Stop watching the show and come out to help! Close combat isn't my forte!" Momo shouted into the distance.

At that moment, a sharp laugh echoed from the distant ruins.

"Momo, I never thought you'd be in such a hurry one day."

Chapter 170: A Battle of Life and Death

Just as the two were talking, Saitō Fubōfu, slashed out with his sword again. Although Momo blocked it with her chains, her own body was also thrown back by the enormous force, and she tumbled and crawled into the ruins, looking extremely disheveled.

"Go to hell!" Saitō Fubōfu gave the other woman no chance to breathe, raising his sword to cut off her head. But at that moment, a huge figure loomed over her from behind. Saitō Fubōfu sensed the danger approaching and turned around as fast as he could, seeing a giant, muscular man, at least two meters tall, laughing as he pounced on her.

A punch delivered in an instant!

The wind arrives before the fist.

Saitō Fubōfu immediately retaliated with his sword, blocking the opponent's fist with the blade. However, he was still blasted away by the immense force of the fist. In contrast to Momo, Saitō Fubōfu spun around in mid-air to dissipate the force, finally landing steadily on the ground unharmed.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! That knife of yours is so sharp!" Although the burly man had knocked Saitō Fubōfu back with a punch, the Zanpakuto had left a deep wound on the back of his hand, causing him to shake his hand in pain. His originally smiling face turned extremely the Rage.

"How dare you cut my hand! Die!" The burly man stomped his feet on the ground and flew over like a cannonball. Saitō Fubōfu was slightly surprised. This man's speed had increased significantly compared to before. He hurriedly used Flash Step to avoid the enemy's attack.

The two-on-one situation instantly turned into a three-on-two.

Moreover, the sharp sound that came from the ruins just now definitely didn't belong to this burly man in front of us, which means there's another enemy hiding in the shadows.

"Not bad! You've gotten to be this big for nothing. What's your name?" Saitō Fubōfu was getting more and more excited. Didn't he join the Gotei 13 in the first place so he could fight freely?

The burly man introduced himself, "I am F, the Rage Chariel Eugene, of the Sternritter of the Wandenreich. The angrier I get, the stronger I become! So make me even angrier!"
