Crossover Anime: The Bull Demon's Road to Conquest

Page 81

Kagura, suddenly realizing what was happening, was about to ask a question with a puzzled look in her eyes, but then she reacted, her expression changed drastically, and she turned around and swung her wooden sword at Kirie behind her.

But then Wu Jiang, who was hiding behind, smirked, and red marks appeared on his face. Crimson blood rose from his feet and spread into a pool of viscous blood.

The countless shadow ropes that were originally wrapped around Wujiang from the ceiling and all sides instantly changed their target, instead binding and suspending the stunned girls in a very indecent manner.

At this moment, Chizuru and Miku also realized what was happening, gave up struggling, and let the Shadow Rope drag them away. Kagura, who was the first to react and turned around to swing her sword to save her companions, was also tied up and dragged away.

"Whoa! What...what's going on?!"

Still completely bewildered, Momoko, along with Hinako and Yu, wanted to struggle a little longer, but after noticing Kirie's abnormality, they were even more at a loss and stopped struggling.

"Kirie must be possessed, and the dark figure here is Miss Yuko."

Kagura, who had been hit on the back of the head, ignored the pain and quickly comforted her companions. They were tied up with shadow ropes and dragged out of the bathroom all at once.

During the process, because the bathroom door was a bit narrow, the girls inevitably bumped into each other, and even tripped on the door frame, making them dizzy and disheveled.

"You're a ghost too, why are you intruding into my territory?"

The possessed 'Kirie' moved her limbs, cleared her throat, tested her voice, and then asked the shadowy Yuuko in a slightly puzzled tone. However, Yuuko did not answer her, but instead stood in front of the bathroom entrance to protect the other girls she had dragged out.

"Can't you speak?"

With bloodshot eyes, 'Mist River' sneered and suddenly raised his hand. Instantly, countless blood-red scalpels flew out from the ground, densely stabbing towards the dark figure shrouding the bathroom.

The shattered shadows were constantly being reassembled, but the speed of reassembly could not keep up with the speed of being disintegrated by the blood-red scalpel. Just as 'Kirie', who was holding a scalpel in each hand, was about to break through Kageyuko's obstruction.

A series of gunshots rang out again, and exorcising bullets blocked the bathroom door. Ying Xizi transformed into a black shadow and instantly merged into the body of the arriving Xizi.

"Let's go all out!"

Yuuko chuckled and tossed a grenade she was holding in each hand into the bathroom. Behind her, Hitagi and Tsubasa each held a gun in one hand and an unfolded folding shield in the other.

Boom~~

A violent explosion and a dazzling flash of light spread out instantly.

(Sorry for the delay today, I'll try to resume updates tomorrow.)

Chapter 175 Trust

"Huh? Kirie... Kirie?!"

Amidst the explosion, Momoko, who was crouching on the ground clutching her head, couldn't help but cry out Kirie's name. In her mind, Kirie seemed... surely dead.

Possessed by evil spirits, shot by bullets, and blown up by grenades, how could he possibly survive?

Of course, this was actually because Tao Hui was ignorant, but we can't blame her. After all, just a couple of days ago she was just an ordinary junior high school student and hadn't yet received Niu Kun's contract enhancement.

Actually, the girls have already performed exceptionally well to have held on this long. In addition, it's also because they feel that... they have a demon boss backing them up. Kagura and the other two girls are officially enrolled witches, while Hinako and the other three are prospective witches.

Although demons have a bad reputation, well, it should be very bad, but bad as it may be, demons have always been synonymous with terror and power, well, although there are also a lot of cannon fodder demons.

But after all, in various classic dramas, demons are often the main villains. Being bad is fine, as long as they are powerfully evil, as long as they are not both bad and weak.

So, besides fear, the girls' mentality also developed a sense of superiority that set them apart from others. This is understandable, since no one is perfect and everyone has some vanity, vanity, or escapist tendencies.

However... firstly, Kirie, who was possessed, was not that fragile, and secondly, what Yuuko threw was not a fragmentation grenade, but a powerful stun grenade with exorcising effects.

If the target is something supernatural or ghostly, physical grenades are less effective than stun grenades.

The wall was smashed open, and 'Mist River', surrounded by floating blood mist, stared at Yuko with bloodshot eyes. She could naturally see Yuko's identity, but Yuko's stable spirit body, which was as if she were alive, still surprised her.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel greedy. Possession was good, but it was not her own body after all. After seeing Yuko's spirit, the female ghost had a new idea.

Seeing that Kirie was alright, Momo and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Then, under the protection of Hitagi and Tsubasa, they stepped back a bit. Hitagi and Tsubasa then used their respective methods to assist Yuuko, but because the evil spirit possessed Kirie, it inevitably made things difficult for Yuuko and the others.

While a fierce battle raged inside the dilapidated library, Niu Kun, carrying Huang Quan on his shoulder, arrived outside the library building and said, "Hey, you're making it seem like our positions have been reversed?"

"Oh? You've gone your own way? Didn't you say you really liked it when I rode on your shoulders? Why are you upset now that I've only been sitting on your shoulders for a little while?"

Huang Quan crossed her beautiful legs, which were clad in black stockings, and chuckled as she held Niu Kun's horns. The smile on her lips seemed to have a hint of mockery. In response, Niu Kun took the hand that was holding her ankle and moved it up along the black stockings, his rough fingers probing under Huang Quan's skirt.

"Is this the riding style I'm talking about? Would you like me to demonstrate it for you now?"

"Idiot... idiot?! Don't mess around in the street!!"

Huang Quan, finally losing to Niu Kun's thick skin, quickly grabbed Niu Kun's restless hand, tapped his helmet in annoyance, and continued, "Let's hurry up and save Kagura and the others. You don't want anything to happen to those pretty girls, do you?"

"It doesn't matter. There are just too many women, but we still need a capable and strong black-haired female warrior like you, Huang Quan!"

Although Niu Kun said he didn't care, he was actually quite fast on his feet. Of course, he also occasionally said some cheesy pickup lines, which worked quite well.

"You bastard... what do you mean by 'both capable and good at fighting'?! You don't think I can't tell you're making dirty jokes again, do you?!"

Huang Quan expressed his dissatisfaction, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, clearly somewhat enjoying Niu Kun's cheesy pickup lines.

bang~

In the dilapidated library, a window frame without glass fell from the sky, but before it could hit Niu Kun and Huang Quan, Huang Quan calmly drew his sword and slashed it away.

In the blink of an eye, the long sword was sheathed, and the wooden window frame was shattered and sent flying. Huang Quan held the long sword with a reserved yet slightly smug air, while his heel intentionally or unintentionally tapped Niu Kun's abdominal armor.

"Excellent swordsmanship! It looks even more skillful than Saeko's."

Because Saeko wasn't around, Niu Kun could belittle and flatter without any hesitation. Of course, when he was alone with Saeko later, Niu Kun would also change his story without any hesitation.

"Tch~ Is that so? Then I'll try asking Saeko later?"

Huang Quan looked up at the aftermath of the battle upstairs, but still managed to utter another sentence.

"Ahem, internal strife is not good. Let's have a friendly spar, but stop when we've reached our goal."

Niu Kun coughed lightly, then changed the subject with a hint of regret: "No wonder that white-haired guy left so easily. It seems there really isn't a Killing Stone in this shabby library."

"Although there is no Killing Stone, the evil spirit dwelling here is quite capable."

Huang Quan casually praised him, then easily jumped from sitting on Niu Kun's shoulder to standing. He then bent his body slightly, pushed hard with his knees, and pressed Niu Kun's shoulder down slightly. Huang Quan's figure had already leaped upstairs.

The incredibly sharp blade light instantly shattered the wall and tore through the thick blood mist, slashing towards 'Kirie' who turned around in astonishment. However, Yuko's exclamation rang out almost simultaneously.

"No?! That's Kirie!!"

Before the shout could even rise, the blade was already upon them. 'Mist River' didn't even have time to react and dodge. In a panic, a crimson light suddenly flew up from Mist River's body.

But what she didn't expect was that the seemingly irreversible blade light suddenly recoiled, grazing Wujiang's neck, and then, without her noticing, it reversed into the back of the blade, pressing down on the back of Wujiang's neck with a seemingly heavy but actually light touch, changing from a slash to a push.

In the blink of an eye, the force of the blade's back pushed the already rolled-up Kirie into the arms of the somewhat anxious Yuuko, and only then did Yomi's ghostly figure truly cease to appear.

After twirling the Lion King Sword, which was as clear as a pool, Huang Quan pinched the short hair that had been cut by the blade and let it fall loose. He sighed softly, seemingly with some regret.

"Sigh, it's a pity that my movements are still not precise and skillful enough. I'll have to ask Saeko for some pointers later."

"what?"

After catching Kirie, Yuuko breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yomi, who seemed a little confused. Although... but... tsk, she felt like the other person was showing off, or rather... being pretentious?

After realizing what had happened, Yuko couldn't help but pout. The gratitude she had felt earlier dissipated considerably, and she felt inexplicably annoyed.

Whether the others noticed or not, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Kagura's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed with great joy, "Sister Yomi!"

"Ahem, Kagura, I'm sorry, I was stopped on the way by an annoying pervert and almost made me late."

Huang Quan coughed in a mocking manner, just like Niu Kun, and then smiled broadly, completely ignoring the red-clothed evil spirit still floating on the ceiling.

"It's alright, I know Sister Huang Quan will arrive in time."

Holding a wooden sword, Kagura spoke with complete trust, and Kagura's honesty and trust almost made Yomi break down and reveal a silly grin.

(First update. I broke my promise again and failed to resume updates. I am guilty and will punish myself by a ten-day moaning ban.)

Chapter 176 Abilities

The conversation between Yomi and Kagura inevitably neglected the red-clad female ghost, who was the host. Compared to Yuko's spirit, which seemed like a living being, the red-clad female ghost's spirit appeared somewhat illusory and unreal.

The red dress looked like a school uniform, but the color had turned a chilling blood red, and it was tattered and covered with blood-stained tears.

The skin inside the lacerations was covered in wounds from sharp blades, and the numerous wounds all over her body made the red-clad female ghost resemble a broken and then reassembled ceramic doll.

Judging from the wounds on the red-clad female ghost, it was as if she had suffered a slow and agonizing torture before she died, which makes people feel pity and hatred for the murderer. What kind of cruel and inhuman murderer could commit such a brutal crime?

However, according to the rumor that Hinako mentioned before, the death of the woman in red was later determined to be suicide. Could this be another case of powerful people harming others?

After being rescued by Kirie and with their powerful teammate Huang Quan joining the battle, the girls who were initially terrified were able to calm down.

Compared to the ghost Yuuko, the cat demon Hanekawa Tsubasa, and the unknown Hitagi who had previously frightened them, Yomi Isayama, as a genius girl from an exorcist family and an elite member of the official exorcism organization, makes them feel much safer.

Although they are all witches, their strength should vary, for example... Chizuru, who was hiding in the back with Momo, Hinako, and Yu.

Sensing that the gazes of her three juniors, who had previously shown her some respect, seemed to have become less respectful, Chizuru and Miku realized what was happening one after another.

Mikoto looked away with some shame, while Chizuru retorted unwillingly, "I... I'm just better at fighting in water. I can breathe like a fish in water, and I can also sense and control the water flow. It's just that I can't exert my combat power on land."

"Oh, I see... well..."

After hearing Chizuru's words, Momo and the others suddenly understood and nodded in comprehension. After all, the Navy's presence on land would indeed have a significant impact. And... Mikoto...

Facing three probing gazes, Mei Hong blushed and said in a somewhat insecure low voice, "My...my ability is...gentleness...making others like me more..."

"Huh? Amen?"

Momoko blinked, paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Miko is indeed very gentle, making people feel good at first sight..."

"but...."

But they still lack combat effectiveness...

"No...it's not entirely impossible. I...I can use charm skills to deceive...deceive the enemy..."

Although no one else said it aloud, Mei Hong clearly shared the same opinion. Despite feeling somewhat inferior, she tried to explain and defend herself, but the more she spoke, the more uncertain she became, and her expression grew increasingly frustrated and aggrieved, naturally revealing a pitiful look.

This immediately made Tao Hui and the others feel guilty and remorseful. They quickly comforted Mei Hong and each tried to figure out how to make the most of Mei Hong's strengths. However, they didn't realize that their emotions had been affected by Mei Hong.

"Alright, you two stop chatting and take Kirie out of the library first."

The battle between the red-clad female ghost and the underworld spread, and Hitagi turned to Kagura and the others and said that ordinary exorcism weapons were no longer enough, and that the few of them, except for Kagura, lacked combat power and the ability to protect themselves.

So Hitagi and the others decided to send Kagura and the others out first. After all, they had already completed their mission of searching for spirits and exploring the supernatural, and they couldn't help with the exorcisms and ghost-hunting that followed, so it was better to leave first.

"Um...okay, then...let's leave first..."

Kagura withdrew her gaze from Yomi's figure. Although she was not without combat ability, she had never participated in a battle before, and her companions still needed her protection.

Unbeknownst to them, Kagura had become the backbone of their small team.

However, just as Kagura and the others were about to go down the stairs, they were stopped by Hitagi and Tsubasa.

"Climbing the stairs is too slow, this way..."

"what?!"

As Hitagi and Tsubasa used the butt of their guns to smash the windows full of shards of glass, Kagura and the others were dumbfounded. Were they supposed to jump off the building?

That's quite fast, but Kagura, Chizuru, and Miku have been strengthened by the contract, so they shouldn't lose their lives. However, the other four girls are still just ordinary people.

Jumping down...won't I die?

Looking at the height of about ten meters, the girls' faces stiffened, but Hitagi waved her hand confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'm definitely not asking you to commit suicide. Don't forget that I'm also a witch, and I have my own abilities."

After saying that, Hitagi pointed to Kirie, who was still unconscious and being held in Kagura's arms. Then the girls saw Kirie suddenly float up, break free from Kagura's embrace, and fly horizontally out of the window to the girls' astonishment.

"what?!"

The girls who had been peering out the window saw Wujiang, who looked like Sleeping Beauty, float down onto a slightly crooked chair downstairs.

"Alright, let's go one by one."

Hitagi clapped her hands, first reducing the girls' weight to one-tenth, then using her telekinesis to send the light girls downstairs, completing the operation in just a few breaths.

“If Mineva were here, it would probably be even faster.”

Heiyi muttered something under her breath before turning her gaze away from the window and towards the demolition battle inside, where countless scarlet blood droplets shot out like bullets toward the underworld.

Yuuko and Tsubasa, who had already transformed into a cat demon, were only defending themselves and did not join the battle. It wasn't that they were standing by and watching, but rather that Yomi, full of confidence, was determined to take down the red-clothed female ghost by herself.

Kagura and the other girls, who had just landed on the ground, saw the building exploding and the walls occasionally collapsing and falling. They had no choice but to take the still unconscious Kirie and run out of the courtyard. Then they saw Niu Kun, who had taken off his helmet, was holding a cup of hot coffee, and was sitting on a chair that had been moved from somewhere. He looked as relaxed as if he had come out for a stroll in the middle of the night.

Of course, there were also Natsuki, Yuno, Sayu, and Aki who were by Niu Kun's side. The second group, who were supposed to go up to support before the red-clothed female ghost appeared, had their original mission terminated because of the arrival of Niu Kun and Huang Quan.

Instead, his new task became serving Niu Kun while he watched the game.

The world is vast, but for Xia Shu and the others, nothing is more important than serving Niu Kun happily.

"Hey, we meet again! Good evening!"
