Five reishi bows in a five-pointed star formation fired simultaneously. What the hell are these, bows and arrows? These are clearly funnels!
Yamabuki used Shunpo to quickly dodge, as the five reishi bows behind him unleashed a barrage of attacks!
The fighting styles of Quincy and Shinigami are completely different. Shinigami consume their own reiryoku, while Quincy control the reishi in their surroundings.
The reishi concentration in the surrounding environment directly affects a Quincy's combat power.
"Shinigami, do you recognize this formation? It's too late for you to try and get closer! Stand there and don't move, let me blow you to smithereens!" Martin laughed wildly.
What Shinigami?
All of them are vulnerable!
Yamabuki said nothing, constantly looking for the opponent's weakness. This Quincy's own reiryoku wasn't high, perhaps not even half of his own, but a Quincy's ability cannot be judged by his reiryoku!
Fortunately, the Quincy of this era had not yet developed a monstrous skill like Vollständig. Just fighting him with bows and arrows, he wouldn't be able to win against him for a while.
"Running around like a rat! Shinigami, can't you just stand still? Rain of Light!" Martin shot an arrow at the sky, and the next second, this arrow split into countless light arrows descending from the sky, directly performing a large-scale attack.
Yamabuki pointed at the sky with one hand: "Bakudō #81, Dankū!"
Although Martin's arrow had a large attack range, the power of each small arrow was greatly reduced, unable to break through Bakudō #81.
"You have such a small trick? Use more, don't just let me kill you like this. I'll make you die convinced," Martin flicked the dust off his clothes and laughed arrogantly.
Yamabuki showed a terrified expression, constantly retreating. Martin raised the reishi bow in his hand, laughed wildly, and shot an arrow, directly piercing Yamabuki's body.
"Alas! If all Shinigami are this strong, when we invade Soul Society, we'll finish the battle in half a day at most." Martin casually tidied his disheveled hair. Suddenly, a sharp blade attacked him from behind. Martin instantly became alert and quickly used Hirenkyaku to dodge, but it was too late. The blade, originally aimed at his back, shifted and pierced his lower back. Even though it didn't hit a vital spot, it still severely wounded Martin!
"How is this possible... I clearly already..." Martin continuously used Hirenkyaku to dodge and create distance from the enemy.
Yamabuki gently flicked the blood from the blade: "I told you learning is beneficial. This 'Utsusemi' technique from the Shihōin family is really useful!"
This was something he had pestered Shihōin Chika to learn not long ago. It means 'cicada shedding its shell,' where the body moves quickly, leaving an afterimage and the clothes behind.
In later generations, Yoruichi used this technique to repeatedly trick Byakuya.
"Despicable! To ambush me with such a method!" Martin clutched his wound. The wound was on his lower back, and it had probably already injured his internal organs. My kidneys!
"On the battlefield, it's a fight to the death! Why are you talking about being despicable with me! How naive you are!" Yamabuki gripped his Zanpakutō and approached step by step: "Bring out whatever other tricks you have, don't let me kill you just like this!"
Martin felt a huge oppressive force rushing towards him!
This bastard wasn't serious about fighting me just now; he was pretending to be weak to test my abilities!
He's injured now, so he can't go head-to-head with him. It's better to leave first!
Martin retreated two steps, then turned and ran wildly using Hirenkyaku.
Suddenly, his vision blurred, and Yamabuki calmly stood in front of him, waiting.
"Our Shinigami's Shunpo isn't faster than a Hollow's Sonido, and it's not faster than your Hirenkyaku?" Yamabuki sneered, "First, I'll cut off your limbs and turn you into a human stick, then I'll bring you back for interrogation. We might be able to pry some information out of you."
The muscles on Martin's face twitched continuously. In mid-air, the five Reishi Arrows reappeared, and all five bows fired simultaneously.
Yamabuki instantly appeared in mid-air, slashing all five Reishi Arrows to pieces with one strike, then instantly appeared in front of Martin and impaled his thigh with a blade!
"Yes! Just like that! Struggle more! The more you struggle, the happier I am." Yamabuki sneered, "I'm counting on you to get me my half-month's salary!"
"Damn it!" In despair, Martin raised his Reishi Bow and launched a final attack at Yamabuki. However, this arrow was weak and powerless, and the Reishi Arrow shot out crookedly. Yamabuki didn't even dodge, instead grabbing the Reishi Arrow with a backhand.
Originally, his idea was to casually crush this Reishi Arrow, but when his fingers touched the Reishi Arrow, it instantly disintegrated, transforming into raw reishi, which was directly absorbed by Yamabuki's body.
"Holy crap!!!" Yamabuki was so scared he almost jumped.
"Holy crap!!!" Martin also looked shocked, "How can you manipulate reishi?"
"I'd like to ask you that, how can I manipulate reishi?" Yamabuki looked at his hand in a daze. Shinigami don't have this ability, Yamabuki guaranteed it with his salary.
In fact, on his first day here, he discovered that his body could absorb a small amount of reishi and increase his reiryoku. At the time, he didn't pay attention, thinking he had a special physique, after all, he was a Child of Destiny!
But the current situation was completely incomparable to before!
He actually directly absorbed a Quincy's attack!
Suddenly, a very bold idea appeared in Yamabuki's mind.
"Your name is Martin, right? How do you Quincy control reishi? How did you form that Reishi Bow?" Yamabuki demanded.
"I will absolutely not reveal anything, just kill me!" Martin had already guessed what the Shinigami in front of him was about to do.
"Kill you?" Yamabuki drew his blade and stabbed at Martin's hand, though each stab was shallow. Finally, with a light flick of the blade, he directly lifted the skin on Martin's hand.
This was a sword technique he secretly learned from Kinroku Izuhara. He didn't expect it to come in handy now!
"Even if you hack me to a thousand pieces, I won't say anything!" Martin was also a tough nut to crack.
"I like tough nuts!" Yamabuki grinned menacingly.
The next scene made Martin completely collapse, because Yamabuki actually healed his hand with Kaidō, then used the same method to continue peeling the skin off his hand.
"You… you… are you a demon from the Bible?"
"Tell me! How do you Quincy control reishi! Show me, and don't try any tricks, or else, I have ways to make you wish for death but unable to die." Yamabuki said.
Although Martin was a tough nut, he couldn't withstand Yamabuki slowly scraping away his flesh!
"I… I'll only teach you once, watch carefully!" Martin extended his injured hand, and the surrounding reishi quickly condensed in his hand, finally forming a bow.
"Did you see it clearly… Holy crap!"
