Fighting Our Way Through the Encirclement / A Crazy Plan

Yamabuki Chidori hurriedly turned around and saw that Saitō Fubōfu had a penetrating wound in his abdomen.

"Cough cough cough!!" Saitō Fubōfu coughed up a mouthful of blood, clutching his stomach tightly, but the blood wouldn't stop, dripping onto the ground through his fingers!

Yamabuki Chidori instantly realized that the person who had been ambushing him during the battle had also arrived, but this time it wasn't him who was being ambushed, but Saitō Fubōfu.

Moreover, Saitō Fubōfu, doesn't possess the ability to heal wounds quickly. If the opponent continues to attack Saito relentlessly, then Saitō Fubōfu, is doomed.

Most importantly, he still doesn't know what methods the other side is using.

Eugene yelled and raised his mountain-sized fist to smash it down on Saitō Fubōfu. Saitō Fubōfu endured the excruciating pain from his wounds and prepared to continue the bloody battle.

Yamabuki Chidori immediately activated Sound Steps and Teleportation, carrying Saitō Fubōfu to quickly escape the battlefield.

Suddenly, Saitō Fubōfu, let out another scream as something pierced his palm.

Grass!

What exactly happened?

Yamabuki Chidori knew that when Quincy awakened their Schrift abilities, they were very likely to awaken some rule-based abilities as well. These rule-based abilities could not be broken by normal means, and the person who ambushed them definitely possessed some rule-based abilities.

But why isn't he attacking me anymore?

Was it because the person who launched the sneak attack felt their attack was pointless after discovering their self-healing ability?

Yamabuki Chidori took off her Captain's Haori and tightly wrapped it around Saitō Fubōfu wound to prevent his intestines from spilling out.

It looks like this sneak attack damaged his internal organs. It will take at least five or six minutes to fully heal, but there's no time to waste on the battlefield.

"Never mind me... cough cough, kill them first!" Saitō Fubōfu said through gritted teeth.

Severe damage to internal organs would be fatal to an ordinary person. Saitō Fubōfu is only due to his powerful Reiatsu, which is barely keeping him alive. But if he doesn't receive immediate treatment, it will be dangerous if he delays any longer!

Just as Yamabuki Chidori was preparing to leave the battlefield for the second time, several Reishi Arrow shot from three directions. Yamabuki Chidori hurriedly swung her sword and shattered the arrows.

Behind Yamabuki Chidori, three new enemies have appeared.

"Bard, what's wrong? Did you run into a powerful enemy?" A Quincy in his forties asked expressionlessly.

Bard nodded slightly. "This person is Death, here to gather intelligence. Judging from his strength, he should be a leader or similar figure among the Grim Reapers, and he has obtained information that is quite detrimental to us. We must eliminate him immediately."

"Knew."

The three newly arrived Quincy, along with Bard and Eugene, surrounded Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu.

Saitō Fubōfu, is severely injured and has lost the ability to fight again. Yamabuki Chidori is struggling to deal with six powerful enemies while taking care of her seriously injured teammate.

Most importantly, it is still unclear what abilities the three newly emerged Quincy possess; the unknown is the most terrifying thing.

"Just surrender obediently, and I won't torture you," Bard said calmly.

"So you're a gentleman after all! That's a shame! When I was torturing that Ishida Oboro just now, her screams were quite beautiful!" Yamabuki Chidori said with a grin, trying to provoke the other party.

Sure enough, Bard's forehead veins bulged, and he looked menacing.

"Facing so many powerful opponents at once, even I'm finding it difficult! There's no other way!" Yamabuki Chidori strapped Saitō Fubōfu to her back and whispered, "Bankai!"

Chapter 173: Breaking Through the Encirclement

"Bankai!" Surrounded by numerous powerful enemies, Yamabuki Chidori had no choice but to use Bankai. Instantly, crimson Reiatsu erupted from his body, and the five Quincy surrounding him all looked extremely solemn.

"Is this a Shinigami?" A newly arrived Quincy's face was extremely ugly. The Reiatsu unleashed by this Shinigami far surpassed that of anyone present, and was simply beyond their reach.

"Don't underestimate him. The fact that even three members of the Sternritter couldn't defeat him is proof enough of his strength. Everyone, attack together and don't give him a chance to breathe," another Quincy shouted.

Yamabuki Chidori carries Saitō Fubōfu on her back, holding a knife in both hands, and is extremely vigilant.

He was wary not only of the five enemies in front of him, but also of the attacker who had been hiding in the shadows.

That's the real trouble; both he and Saitō Fubōfu, have fallen into each other's trap.

"Superior!!!"

Five Quincy launched an attack from five directions simultaneously, unleashing a dazzling array of abilities.

Yamabuki Chidori assumed a Sword-Draw Slash stance, pivoting at her waist, and instantly drew her sword.

"Asura: Three Worlds Sword!"

In an instant, all five people present were attacked from three different points in time. Each person could only block the sword in the present moment, but could not block the attacks from the past and the future. As a result, all five were injured at the same time, and they retreated in a disheveled state. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yamabuki Chidori took advantage of the situation to escape their encirclement.

While he wasn't afraid of continuing the fight, Saitō Fubōfu posed a danger.

We need to find a place to treat her injuries.

With the aid of Spatial Movement and time flow, Yamabuki Chidori instantly escaped the Quincy's pursuit.

The five Quincy stood rooted to the spot, each with a grim expression. They hadn't expected their opponent to be so terrifying, injuring all five of them in an instant.

If it weren't for their Blut Vene, they would have been injured even more severely.

"Treat your wounds first, then report this to the commander," Bard said in a deep voice. "But under no circumstances can we let these people escape; he has obtained a secret that could threaten the entire Wandenreich."

Before Yhwach went into slumber, he sent a message to all the Quincy, asking them to gather near the palace to prevent anyone from causing trouble while he was asleep. Therefore, the entire Sternritter and all the powerful Quincy gathered nearby.

Those present dared not linger and returned to the palace as quickly as possible to report the matter to the current Grand Master of the Sternritter.

Yamabuki Chidori carried Saitō Fubōfu on her back as they swiftly traversed the sky. It was already dusk. Saitō Fubōfu lay motionless on Yamabuki Chidori's back, and Yamabuki Chidori could only faintly sense her weak breathing.

Realizing that the enemy had not pursued them, Yamabuki Chidori breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He went directly to the mansion of the middle-aged nobleman he had previously visited, and secretly hid in the attic. It seemed that no one would be chasing him anytime soon.

Finally, I have time to heal Saitō Fubōfu wounds.

Saitō Fubōfu's fatal wound was in her lower abdomen, pierced by an invisible force, causing severe damage to her internal organs. If it weren't for her powerful Reiatsu, she might already be dead.

Yamabuki Chidori gently cut open the clothes around her abdomen with a knife, quickly cleaned away the bloodstains, and then began to use the Kido treatment.

Halfway through the treatment, Saitō Fubōfu, slowly woke up and found his clothes rolled up to his chest. He weakly said, "You weren't thinking of doing something weird while I was too weak to resist, were you?"

When Yamabuki Chidori heard that she could still joke, she knew that her injury was not serious.

"Yeah! It's rare to see you in such a battle-damaged state. I'll strip you naked in a bit, and then do some unspeakable things. Bear with it!" Yamabuki Chidori increased the intensity of the treatment, and a bright green light flickered near the wound.

After five or six minutes, Saitō Fubōfu abdomen and internal organs slowly healed, and he finally passed the critical period.

"While you're at it, could you also treat the wound on my hand?" Saitō Fubōfu raised her left hand, Yamabuki Chidori then noticed a bloody hole in the palm of her left hand.

"How did you feel when you were attacked?" Yamabuki Chidori asked while tending to her wounds.

Saitō Fubōfu shook his head slightly. The opponent's ability was too strange. Logically speaking, with their strength, no matter what attack they faced, even if they couldn't defend against it, they should at least be able to find out who launched the attack and what the attack pattern was.

Is it a sword strike or a spell? Is it deadly poison or Kidō?

However, the attacker's attacks were launched without warning, always sneaking up on them when they were both on edge.

Yamabuki Chidori vaguely guessed that it might be Space Ability, because only the Power of Time and Space could achieve such an effect.

But he quickly dismissed his guess.

The person who has mastered the art of manipulating time and space the most in the world today is Yamabuki Chidori, and I'm not exaggerating.

If someone uses the same method to launch a sneak attack, he will definitely notice it. Even if he can't dodge it, he can at least find the attacker.

But all of this was carried out silently.

Yamabuki Chidori noticed that during the fierce battle just now, Saitō Fubōfu twin tails had been cut off on one side, leaving him with a single ponytail.

It looked rather unpleasant, so I simply took her hair down and gave her a new hairstyle.

"You can even comb a girl's hair?" Saitō Fubōfu asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, actually I didn't know how to do it before, but after I started living with Unohana, she often asked me to comb her hair. Your hair isn't as good as hers." Yamabuki Chidori complained as she gave Saitō Fubōfu a new hairstyle.

Saitō Fubōfu, rolled his eyes. "The mission has failed, but we've gathered more useful information. Shouldn't we head back?"

Yamabuki Chidori shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with madness.

"I have an even crazier and bolder idea. Of course, I can do it myself. You go back to Soul Society and tell the Captain Commander everything we've found," Yamabuki Chidori said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If I leave you here and go back alone, the Captain Commander will tear me to pieces. Tell me your plan now, I'll go through fire and water with you if necessary," Saitō Fubōfu said.

After hesitating for a moment, Yamabuki Chidori spoke her mind.

"According to the information provided by Ishida Oboro, the Quincy palace is located 150 li to the west, where the Quincy King Yhwach sleeps," Yamabuki Chidori said in a low voice. "What I mean is... while Yhwach is asleep, why don't we find an opportunity to kill him directly!"

Saitō Fubōfu, stroked his chin thoughtfully. "So, does that mean the two of us just barge into the enemy's headquarters and start a chaotic slaughter?"

Chapter 174: The Crazy Plan

"That's right."

Are you confident?

"No," Yamabuki Chidori replied truthfully.

Entering the Quincy Palace means facing not only Yhwach Quincy King, but also the Sternritter of enemies.

They had already witnessed the abilities of the Sternritter; any one of them was a formidable opponent. The thought of being surrounded by more than twenty members of the Knight was quite unpleasant.

Why did Yhwach fall into a deep sleep?

Yamabuki Chidori had a very bold idea in her mind: Yhwach might not have fully mastered the power of All-Knowing All-Powerful yet, and he wanted to use his slumber to awaken his own abilities.

Yamabuki Chidori knew exactly what level of power Yhwach All-Knowing All-Powerful and omnipotence.

He's definitely not as good as the current Captain Commander. If he uses all his trump cards, he might be able to put up a fight.

Moreover, the other party is currently in a dormant state; how could we let go of such an opportunity to kick them while they're down?

Saitō Fubōfu and lawless to begin with, slammed his fist on the attic after hearing Yamabuki Chidori's audacious idea. "Then let's give him a piece of our minds!"

The tap on the attic attracted the attention of those below. Someone actually came up to check, but ordinary people can't see Death and mistook it for a rat.

"Get a good rest tonight, and we'll set off tomorrow morning. Success or failure hinges on this. If we can defeat the enemy leader in advance, we can definitely break the Quincy's fighting spirit and prevent a bloodbath." Yamabuki Chidori said with some excitement. Although the Quincy and the Shinigami originated from the same source, they followed two different paths.

The true power of a Shinigami's Zanpakuto is to transform into a Hollow.

The Quincy, however, aim to destroy all Hollows in this world.

The "illusion" is formed from the souls of ordinary people. Over time, the number of souls will decrease, and the balance of the Three Realms will be greatly affected.

Furthermore, Yhwach's insistence on destroying the Three Realms, returning the world to Chaos, and creating a world without birth or death was opposed by everyone, even many Quincy opposed their emperor's plan.

Most people simply dared not speak out because of Yhwach's invincible power.

If Yhwach died prematurely, that would be fantastic; Yamabuki Chidori could enjoy at least several hundred years of peace and tranquility.

Saitō Fubōfu and had just recovered from his serious injuries, stayed here to rest. Yamabuki Chidori took on the task of patrolling to ensure that no one would disturb the two of them.

Nothing more was said that night, and the next morning arrived.

A journey of 150 li might take several days for people in ancient times, but for the Grim Reaper, it would be a short distance.

They traveled for a day and a night, and finally saw the Quincy's palace at dusk the next day.

It must be said that this palace was built to be more beautiful than the imperial palace of this era, and it covered a vast area, almost equivalent to an ancient Japan city.

These Quincy are really good at this.

Meanwhile, the Sternritter members who had been injured in Kyoto returned to the palace.

Front Hall.

This is where the Sternritter usually handles their affairs. Because they cannot disturb His Majesty's slumber, they usually hold their offices and meetings here. At this moment, a woman is kneeling in the very center of the Front Hall; it is none other than Ishida Oboro.

"You actually revealed His Majesty's secret because you couldn't endure the torture! Do you know how serious this crime is?" At the very top of the Front Hall stood a handsome blond man, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with blond hair flowing down his shoulders. He was handsome, tall, and upright, and his white robe made him look even more dashing.

That kind of temperament and heroic bearing can only be seen in certain BL novels.

Ishida Oboro's clothes had changed from her original precious twelve-layered Kimono to ordinary linen clothes worn by prisoners. She wore shackles on her hands and shackles on her feet, and her expression was gloomy.

She knew she had made a grave mistake, that she had succumbed to physical torture and revealed the information to the enemy, and that even if she were to be executed now, there was nothing more to say.

"Ishida Oboro, do you have anything else to say in your defense?" The blond, handsome man looked down at Ishida Oboro with an arrogant expression.

The fact that His Majesty values a mere half-blood so highly has long aroused the dissatisfaction of many Pureblood Quincy.

Ishida Oboro knew she had made a grave mistake, so she didn't try to explain. In a hoarse voice, she said, "The enemy now knows the palace's location. Commander, please be prepared; the enemy could attack at any moment!"

Upon hearing Ishida Oboro's words, the other members of the Sternritter burst into laughter.

"Are you out of your mind? This is the Quincy's headquarters. All the high-level combat forces are gathered here. No matter how powerful that Shinigami you mentioned is, he wouldn't dare to attack here. Besides, one of those two Shinigami was seriously injured. They should be back in Soul Society like stray dogs by now, right?" A member of the Sternritter said dismissively.
