Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Kanae nodded in satisfaction as she watched Nakime turn to ashes amidst the rain of petals, her face filled with blissful ecstasy.

look around.

The swordsmen who had previously entered the Infinite Castle to clear out the mob demons suffered some casualties, but none were serious.

Since all the lowly demons who were bred by Muzan were left in the Infinity Castle, it is now unknown whether they are dead or alive.

So these swordsmen lost their jobs and were now helping each other, orderly evacuating the scene under Shinobu's command.

After all, the upcoming battle is not something they can participate in; blindly joining in might just turn them into Muzan's blood bags.

However, they did take action, surrounding the surrounding area.

To avoid any unexpected emergencies.

Although the environment looked quite chaotic, the battle was clearly divided into two parts.

The 1v1 battle between Xia Yan and Kokushibo on the upper lane.

Meanwhile, Muzan, in order to prevent anyone from interfering with Kokushibo 05's duel, very manly, single-handedly held off all the current Pillar-level swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, except for Natsuhiko and Shinobu Kocho.

This sense of responsibility moved Kanae deeply.

Therefore, in order to fulfill Muzan's wish, she resolutely joined the circle kicking against Muzan.

……

"Wow, this is much more spacious now."

"Alright, let's officially begin the second round!"

Xia Yan cracked his neck, making a series of crisp sounds, and stared intently at the solemn-faced Heishibo.

The reddish-brown spots on his face added a touch of eeriness to his handsome features, along with the bulging veins and varicose veins at the corners of his eyes caused by the whites of his eyes.

At first glance, it's really hard to tell whether he's a human or a ghost.

"It's really amazing..."

"A red blade just like Yoriichi's..."

"A perfectly sculpted body refined to its limits... a swordsmanship created and perfected single-handedly... and the markings..."

"I haven't seen a swordsman like you in four hundred years..."

"Of all the swordsmen I've ever seen, you are the strongest besides Yoriichi!"

"What a pity... With such a powerful physique and skill, even if you were lucky enough to survive tonight, you wouldn't live past twenty-five. It's truly regrettable..."

Perhaps it was the three-stage transformation that allowed the woman in black stockings to regain her confidence.

After arriving on the ground, he didn't rush to fight Xia Yan. Instead, he reminisced about the past.

"Pfft—what are you talking about!?"

Xia Yan grinned and let out a disdainful sneer. His expression was extremely eccentric, giving the impression that the Red Sacrifice Potion would melt in one's mouth.

"The guy I beat like a dog just now actually has the leisure to sympathize with me now?!"

"No need to regret it, you're bound to die before me anyway!"

Xia Yan's sarcasm left Kokushibo, who had originally planned to invite him to become a demon, feeling as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.

His six eyes were wide open, as if six lemons were embedded in them, and his originally golden pupils were covered with fine blood vessels.

Every blood vessel in his body bulged, and his blood pressure rose sharply as if he had activated the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow.

If it weren't for the fact that his body as Upper Moon One was exceptionally strong, his blood vessels would probably have burst by now.

Neither of them spoke again.

Next second,

A flash of light!

boom--

The earth-shaking gale coalesced into a sharp blade, howling as it collided with the ominous moon in the dark night, producing a deafening roar.

Once Kokushibo enters the third stage and goes all out, he is more like a mage who uses his sword to unleash energy waves than a swordsman.

He gently waved the three-meter-long, ethereal, weeping spirit in his hand.

The sky was filled with enormous sword energy, which transformed into a vortex and surged towards Xia Yan.

The sword energy was surrounded by irregular, tiny crescent-shaped blades, whose size and length would constantly change, completely filling the original gaps.

Although it's far from being impenetrable, it's definitely not an attack that anyone can dodge!

Moon Breathing - Fourteenth Form - Calamity - Full Moon!

If other Pillars were to face an attack of this magnitude, aside from the Stone Pillar Gyomei Himejima, perhaps only the Water Pillar Giyu Tomioka, who excels at defense, could barely withstand it.

Fortunately, Xia Yan is not among the "other" pillars.

He belongs to a level outside the realm of strength!

Faced with such a wide-ranging attack, Xia Yan simply closed his eyes, slowly sheathed his sword, and assumed an iaido stance.

If it weren't for the astonishing fighting spirit still emanating from him, Kokushibo would have thought that his opponent was about to close his eyes and wait for death.

Just before the strike was about to hit him, Xia Yan suddenly opened his eyes.

A chilling glint, seemingly capable of splitting heaven and earth in two, emanated from the blade he gripped tightly in his hand.

At that moment, space itself distorted!

The attacks that were originally coming from all directions seemed to have been forcibly held together by an invisible giant hand!

The slash, exceeding the speed limit, created a vacuum in front of Xia Yan's blade, concentrating all the sword energy unleashed by Kokushibo!

Then came a seamless second attack!

Even Kokushibo himself was uncontrollably pulled forward two steps by the powerful suction force.

If it weren't for his exceptionally strong physique, which allowed him to withstand the suction force with sheer strength, he would likely have been killed by Xia Yan along with those sword energies!

However, although he survived the attack, he was unable to swing his weapon for a moment due to his staggering footing!

Xia Yan's figure had already vanished from the spot without a trace, as if he had teleported!

This immediately made Kokushibo tense.

Damn it! It shattered all the sword energy in one go!

This sword strike was even faster than Yoriichi's attack!

It was so fast that my eyes couldn't even keep up with it!

Could it be that he has surpassed Yoriichi?!

"Impossible! Impossible! Yoriichi is the strongest swordsman!!"

"So what if you deflect my attack! You can't cut off my head with your Nichirin Blade!"

"I've already surpassed Yoriichi, I can't possibly fail again! I won't lose to anyone!"

As if hypnotizing himself, Kokushibo let out a roar.

At the same time, the blades that grew from his body were constantly slashing in all directions.

This made Kokushibo resemble a hedgehog that always curls up, eliminating the weakness that allowed anyone to approach him with speed and kill him.

"Oh, really!?"

Chapter 441 A sword is not such an inconvenient thing

"Oh, is that so!?"

A playful voice sounded from behind Kokushibo.

Having lived for nearly five hundred years, Kokushibo is far beyond what can be described as a seasoned veteran.

He knew that neither turning back hastily nor attacking with his knife was the wisest choice!

The next moment, accompanied by a crescent-shaped slash, more blades emerged from his back.

This made Kokushibo look like a porcupine at that moment.

Perhaps it was his battle with Yoriichi Tsugikuni that made him realize that his speed was absolutely no match for Yoriichi's, so he developed this Blood Demon Art, which is as shameless as a barrier.

be honest,

In this situation, even Xia Yan didn't have a good way to cut off his head.

After all, although his sword was much longer than a normal Nichirin Blade, it was still no match for Kokushibo's ranged sword aura.

Neither sword energy nor wind pressure could carry the effects of the Nichirin Blade, so even if Kokushibo's head was cut off, he could not be killed.

Kokushibo is so confident because he has recognized this point.

However, it is clear that he does not know Xia Yan well enough!

"Hmph! You don't think that just because of this I won't be able to cut off your head with my Nichirin Blade, do you!"

"too naive!"

"Watch closely! Breathing of the Storm - Ultimate Technique - Pick-up Form—"

Faced with a near-perfect, all-encompassing slash defense, Xia Yan once again adopted a stance similar to drawing his sword.

Meanwhile, Kokushibo also became more vigilant, focusing all his attention on preparing to face Natsuhiko's attack!

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—!!

Seven consecutive sounds.

The loud roar echoed throughout the mountainous area, startling countless birds into flight!

Dang clang——

The sound of spent cartridge cases hitting the ground rang out, and a faint smell of gunpowder filled the air.

At the same time, Kokushibo's head fell to the ground, his eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.

The neck was cut off in a jagged, uneven manner, as if it had been ripped apart by something.
