The Eighth Espada, Szayelaporro Granz.
The Royal Guard's left hand of the Soul King.
And Aizen in his Hōgyoku-transformed state, all were killed by poison.
Ichimaru Gin's Bankai, which could melt cells with its potent poison, even the current Yamabuki didn't have a very good countermeasure for it.
So, seeing countless poisons rising from under his feet, Yamabuki's expression changed slightly.
"Reverse, Silver Radiance Angel."
Yamabuki watched as the overwhelming poisonous mist surged towards him. He quickly released his Zanpakutō, using its teleportation ability to reach high altitude, then continuously used Shunpo to leave the range of the poisonous mist.
"Young people are always so impatient! You just arrived, don't be in such a hurry to leave!" The Old Man lightly waved the cane in his hand, and these poisonous gases seemed to have a life of their own, flutter over like the tentacles of an octopus, brandishing their fangs and claws.
Yamabuki raised his hand and released Dankū. Since he could control the movement of these poisonous smoke, this should be some kind of Kidō.
However, these poisonous smoke seemed to have eyes of their own, directly bypassing the Dankū barrier and attacking Yamabuki and Yamatake Chiyo behind him.
In utter helplessness, Yamabuki could only continue to retreat with Yamatake Chiyo on his back, reaching a small hill not far away. But these poisonous gases pursued relentlessly, refusing to stop until they devoured their enemies.
"You don't have to worry about being killed by the poisonous gas; this is just a nerve-paralyzing gas. At most, you'll just have a good sleep, don't be afraid!" The Old Man leaned on his cane, a sinister smile on his face.
Yamabuki quickly saw through the opponent's trick. This Old Man fused his own spiritual pressure with the poisonous gas to control its movement, which was indeed a novel method, but… that's all there was to it!
"Space Removal!"
The Silver Radiance Angel moved lightly, and the poisonous gas within a thirty-meter radius, along with the space itself, was removed. Yamabuki grabbed Yamatake Chiyo behind him. In a master's battle, a miss of an inch is a miss of a thousand miles!
Constantly carrying someone on his back prevented him from unleashing his full power. Yamabuki backhanded Yamatake Chiyo into the air.
"Bakudō Number Sixty-Two, Hyappo Rankan!"
An iron pillar condensed from spiritual pressure appeared in his hand. He threw it like a javelin, and the iron pillar instantly pierced through Yamatake Chiyo's clothes, pinning her to a distant tree, thus preventing her from being in the way.
In just these few seconds, the poisonous gas surged up again.
It seemed that it was impossible without defeating the source of the poisonous gas.
Yamabuki stomped his foot hard, and the ground instantly cracked. His body rushed towards the Old Man at an extremely fast speed.
"Even if your spiritual pressure is strong, once you encounter my poisonous gas, you will immediately fall unconscious! To charge over without any defense, hmph, hmph, young people are just young people. I'm telling you, you won't even touch a single hair on me!" the Old Man said with great confidence.
At the same time, he controlled the poisonous gas to block all paths in front, behind, left, and right of Yamabuki. Even if the opponent's Shunpo was fast, they would definitely be contaminated with poisonous gas the moment they rushed out.
Just as the Old Man thought he had the upper hand, he saw the trapped young man in mid-air actually smile.
What was he smiling about?
Because he was forced into a desperate situation, what was there to laugh about!
In the next second, Yamabuki's body vanished into thin air, appearing directly beside the Old Man, and he threw a punch.
The Old Man was caught off guard and could only hastily block with the cane in his hand. As a result, he was once again sent flying by a Shunkō punch, rolling and crawling on the ground.
"Really, to ambush and deceive an Old Grandpa like me! No martial ethics! Is that your Zanpakuto's ability? To be able to teleport?" Although the Old Man appeared to be badly beaten on the surface, he was actually unharmed. He sprang up with a carp jump, looking as if he could still perform a set of punches.
Yamabuki didn't give the other party a chance to breathe.
"Spatial Severance!"
In an instant, wherever the blade pointed, space was instantly split in two. The Old Man hastily used Shunpo to dodge, and as a result, a large tree behind him was cleanly cut down.
"So scary! So scary! The new waves push the old. Which noble family are you from? Are the young generation of Shinigami all this powerful now?" The Old Man looked panicked, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell he was faking it.
Yamabuki stood on the wooden house, coldly staring at this Old Man.
Where did this Old Man come from? He's so strong!
It wasn't just a matter of being strong; he looked at the poisonous gas all around. That was the most troublesome part.
Aizen in his Hōgyoku-transformed state believed he had surpassed the limits of both Shinigami and Hollow, capable of instantly destroying heaven, earth, and air. In fact, he did surpass the limits that ordinary Shinigami could reach. At that time, Kurosaki Isshin, Yoruichi Shihōin, and Kisuke Urahara could no longer sense his spiritual pressure!
But even with such formidable power, he was still pierced through the chest by Ichimaru Gin's blade, leaving behind a potent poison that dissolved cells.
The ultimate life form, claiming to transcend Shinigami and Hollow, also died tragically from this potent poison. If not for the Hōgyoku, Shinigami would have ended prematurely!
Yamabuki's spiritual pressure did increase significantly after devouring a piece of the Soul King's flesh, but he didn't believe he had reached Aizen's level during his Hōgyoku-transformed state.
Aizen's spiritual pressure in his transformed state was on par with Captain-Commander Yamamoto, but because his Zanpakuto was an illusion-type, his direct combat power was not as good as the Captain Commander's.
However, Aizen in his Hōgyoku-transformed state underwent three consecutive evolutions.
His strength likely already surpassed that of the Captain-Commander.
And Yamabuki believed that he still had a gap compared to the Captain-Commander. It wouldn't be fun if he accidentally capsized in a ditch.
Now the entire valley was filled with poisonous gas, which was this Old Man's home ground. If he wanted to turn the tide, he had to break the situation with powerful means.
"Hadō Number Ninety-Nine, Goryūtenmetsu."
Yamabuki pointed one hand to the sky, and at the same time, the earth began to tremble continuously. Terrifying and wild power instantly surged, and five silver-gray giant dragons soared into the sky.
The Old Man's face finally showed a serious expression when he saw Goryūtenmetsu.
Subsequently, the five giant dragons charged towards the ground, directly dispersing all the poisonous gas on the ground, and even the terrain underwent a slight change!
The rampant spiritual pressure swept in all directions.
The ground of the valley was literally scraped away by more than a meter!
After a long while, this violent spiritual pressure slowly subsided.
Yamatake Chiyo in the distance looked shocked. She had always thought her Kidō was very powerful, but now she realized that in front of this pervert, her abilities were insignificant.
He cast Hadō #99 instantly!
No one else in the entire Soul Society could do it.
After Yamabuki cleansed the area with Goryūtenmetsu, he coldly stared at the ruins, clearly feeling that the Old Man's spiritual pressure was completely unharmed by such an attack.
Damn it!
Had Goryūtenmetsu ever actually killed anyone?
He'd never use it again!
"Bang!!!"
The rubble was flung away by a huge force, and aside from some torn clothes, the Old Man didn't have many injuries.
"Oh dear, this Old Man is getting angry!"
