Yamabuki fell, covered in blood.
What happened?
What on earth happened?
The opponent clearly didn't attack, so why am I so severely injured?
Yamabuki was certain that the dozens of wounds on his body were all penetrating injuries, which meant that the Bankai Sword Spirit had come before him at an imperceptible speed, stabbed him dozens of times, and then returned!
He hadn't even realized he was seriously injured!
How could such an absurd thing happen in the world?
If he were facing The Almighty, then he would accept it! After all, The Almighty can launch attacks from the future, and no matter how strong he was, he couldn't predict the future and block future attacks.
"High-speed Regeneration!" Although Yamabuki was severely injured, his physique was special, and the opponent seemed to have deliberately avoided vital points with those dozens of stabs, so all his wounds healed within a few seconds.
Yamabuki knew that the Bankai Sword Spirit would not kill him. Whether it was the power of a Shinigami or the power of a Quincy, it was ultimately a part of his own body. If his main body was gone, the Sword Spirit would also disappear.
"Just give up obediently. Your sword is so slow, how can you fight me?" The Bankai Sword Spirit said with a sigh, holding the crimson short sword in her right hand, as if facing a disobedient child.
"Hahahahaha!" Yamabuki suddenly laughed: "I already know your true ability. The same attack cannot hurt me twice, which means from now on, you can't even touch a single hair on me!"
Yamabuki wasn't boasting. There was only one possibility for an attack that could be launched silently: a Wormhole.
And this Wormhole should have opened directly inside his body, meaning that the opponent only made one stab at the moment of attacking him, but through the Wormhole, it extended into the infinite future, riddling him with holes.
For now, this was the only explanation.
"Oh my, oh my! So that's what you're thinking," the Bankai Sword Spirit said, smiling at Yamabuki.
"Sword Control Technique!" Five flying swords condensed around Yamabuki. Wormholes could not temporarily be realized outside the inner world, but this was his world, and in this world, he was a god!
Yamabuki used his spatial control ability to open five Wormholes in mid-air. Sure enough, these five Wormholes were very stable, and the five flying swords instantly appeared before the Bankai Sword Spirit.
The Bankai Sword Spirit shook her head slightly, a look of helplessness and disappointment on her face. With a gentle lift of her hand, the five flying swords instantly lost control and hovered in front of the Bankai Sword Spirit.
"Such petty tricks won't defeat me! And I can also do this little trick called a Wormhole!" With a light slash of the crimson short sword in the Bankai Sword Spirit's hand, space was torn open. The Bankai Sword Spirit stepped gracefully into the Wormhole, and the other side of the Wormhole was directly in front of Yamabuki.
"Look!" The Bankai Sword Spirit smiled at Yamabuki.
Yamabuki didn't expect the other party to be so careless and instantly performed a high-level Silver Radiance Angel.
"Space Removal!"
However, the Bankai Sword Spirit instantly vanished from her spot.
Just as Yamabuki frowned, the crimson short sword stabbed from behind, piercing his neck.
"…"
"Actually, that white girl over there didn't lie to you about one thing: you haven't fully mastered the power of Shikai yet. Learning Bankai now is a bit too early!" The Bankai Sword Spirit embraced Yamabuki from behind, her full, moist lips whispering softly into Yamabuki's ear.
Yamabuki's neck was pierced, and he couldn't make any sound from his throat. He quickly turned his head and swung his sword, but the Bankai Sword Spirit disappeared again. When she reappeared, she was already twenty meters away from him.
Yamabuki clutched his neck, the wound healing at an extremely fast rate.
How did the opponent manage to come and go without a trace?
This was definitely not a spatial ability.
Because space is not nothingness; when moving back and forth using spatial abilities, there will be very faint spatial fluctuations, just like when Sonido is activated, an ear-splitting sound of space tearing is left behind.
Just as Yamabuki was analyzing his Bankai ability, the Bankai Sword Spirit appeared before him without any warning, and the crimson short sword in her hand pierced Yamabuki's right chest.
"Give up quickly. I don't have that much patience. Next time, I'll pierce your heart. I know you have the power of high-speed regeneration, but if you're killed instantly, no matter how strong your regeneration ability is, it's useless." The Bankai Sword Spirit walked over with a cheerful smile, holding her sword, seemingly defenseless.
But Yamabuki was already on full alert. Who knew where the opponent would attack from next?
"Are you guessing which angle I'll attack from? Actually, I can tell you, I'm going to slowly walk over to you, then pierce your heart with one strike, and end the battle. I've had enough fun; I don't want to play any more tricks with you." The Bankai Sword Spirit walked slowly. At this time, the two were about twenty meters apart, but the next moment, the Bankai Sword Spirit had already appeared in front of him, smiling at him, and then, the crimson short sword instantly pierced Yamabuki's heart.
"Game over!" The Bankai Sword Spirit laughed.
But just then, Yamabuki suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the Bankai Sword Spirit's wrist.
"I finally caught you! Hahahaha! Spatial Severance!" Yamabuki raised the sword in his hand and slashed down fiercely.
The Bankai Sword Spirit shook her head helplessly, extended her index finger and thumb, and with a gentle pinch, this mountain-splitting, sea-dividing strike was easily caught.
The entire inner world fell into a deadly silence.
"This can't be your last move, can it? You really surprise me! So weak!" The Bankai Sword Spirit feigned a smile, but then her face darkened: "Can the farce end now? Show me your true power."
Then, with a flick of both hands, she directly flung Yamabuki away.
Yamabuki clutched his chest in pain. Having his heart pierced was not a pleasant feeling. Fortunately, this was the inner world. If it were the real world, he might already be dead!
But precisely because of this, he finally understood the true ability of his Bankai.
"It's… Time, isn't it! Your true ability is to control time." Yamabuki coughed up a large mouthful of blood.
This was the final explanation.
The opponent's coming and going without a trace was not a spatial ability.
Instead, just as the Bankai Sword Spirit said, she stopped the time of this world, walked step by step to him, and then pierced his heart with one strike.
It was that simple!
