Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 144 The Restless Dimensional Barrier

With a soft shout, the golden light entered his body as he moved.

In that instant, Yoh Asakura, who had previously seemed somewhat lazy, underwent a dramatic change in his aura.

His body became exceptionally light. Facing the whistling wooden sword, he simply shifted his toes slightly and glided to the side of the wooden sword dragon in an extremely graceful arc.

"What?!"

Before Wooden Sword Dragon could react, Asakura Yoh had already picked up a wooden branch from the ground and used it as a substitute for a sword, gently tapping the opponent's wrist.

Bang!

A sharp pain shot through him, and the wooden sword flew out of his hand.

"Hey! What are you standing there for! You guys, get up here!" Wooden Dragon yelled as he retreated, giving orders to his men behind him.

Seeing that things were going badly, the group of thugs raised their iron bars and chains and surrounded Asakura Yoh.

But the birds were not idle.

Although his speed wasn't extreme, it was more than enough to deal with a few thugs.

One of the thugs who rushed to the front felt a blur before his eyes, and then felt an irresistible force coming down his jaw.

Click!

Asuka delivered a powerful uppercut.

This punch sent the opponent flying off the ground, crashing heavily into a pile of rubble, and knocking him unconscious on the spot.

"Quick! Kill that cold-faced brat!"

Three thugs flanked from the side and rear.

"A bunch of small fry."

With a low murmur, the bird lowered its body and swept its whip-like legs, which were wrapped in a whirlwind, across the ground.

Click!Click!

The sound of bones breaking rang out one after another.

The three thugs felt as if their legs had hit a speeding train, and they screamed as they fell to the ground.

On the other side, Yoh Asakura was also weaving through the crowd with a light and agile fighting rhythm.

Using Amida Maru's extensive combat experience, he repeatedly knocked down the thugs with his wooden stick, each move displaying the composure of a samurai.

"Amida Maru, the force seems a little too much." Yoh Asakura muttered to himself as he dodged a metal pipe.

"Of course, Yoh! To deal with these rude people, we must make them feel pain." The samurai's voice rang directly in Yoh Asakura's mind.

In just a few minutes, the once arrogant and domineering group of people were lying haphazardly on the open ground of Ta Zhang Hill, their cries of pain echoing throughout.

Wooden Sword Dragon clutched his swollen wrist, his face ashen.

He looked at the two monsters in front of him.

One was a swordsmanship genius who seemed to be possessed by a god, and the other was a melee weapon devoid of emotion. Their inner pride was completely shattered.

"Damn it...you...you just wait!"

Wooden Sword Dragon uttered a harmless but threatening remark, then led his remaining troops in a panicked retreat down the mountain.

"Phew, finally some peace and quiet." Yoh Asakura released the possession, and Amida Maru's spirit floated back behind him.

Asuka stood still, watching the samurai floating in mid-air.

"Is this what a psychic's channeling is like...?"

""

He could sense that this spirit was fundamentally different from Death and the Hollow, but he didn't understand why this was happening.

"Yes, actually, as long as you are of one mind, any power can become your spirit." Oh.

Yoh Asakura was about to say something more.

The once tranquil sky suddenly darkened without warning.

A heavy, cold, and despair-filled spiritual pressure, like a boulder falling from a height of ten thousand meters, pressed down firmly on the sky above Tazhang Hill.

The air became viscous.

Those wandering spirits who had been watching from afar suddenly let out shrill screams and fled in all directions, some even dissipating into the air due to excessive fear.

"What's going on? This feeling..." Yoh Asakura's smile vanished instantly.

He felt Amida Maru trembling violently; it was a kind of suppression from the depths of his soul.

"This spiritual pressure..."

'

The bird's pupils suddenly contracted, and he abruptly looked up at the sky.

There, the air seemed to have been forcibly torn open by an invisible hand, creating a dark crack.

Unsettling red lightning flickered at the edge of the crack, and an oppressive feeling far greater than any void the bird had ever seen before was overflowing from the depths of darkness.

A huge, long, pointed nose, covered with a white bone mask, slowly emerged from the crack.

Next came a massive shell, tens of meters tall, its entire body as black as ink.

Its huge, empty pupils looked down, and each breath it took was accompanied by a piercing howl.

"Da...Xu?"

Asuka clenched her fist.

He had seen a description of this item in the Urahara Store's materials.

This is a product formed by countless Hollows devouring and fusing with each other, and it has the power of about one hundred ordinary Hollows!

That is the true symbol of fear in this world.

At the same time, Yoh Asakura was completely stunned.

Throughout his career as a psychic, he has encountered powerful benevolent spirits, ferocious evil spirits, and even some ancient nature spirits.

But he had never seen such a monster before.

This thing has no so-called "magical power" nor the soul fluctuations that a "spirit" should have.

It's like a black hole, a pure nothingness that endlessly devours all the energy around it.

"Ye, step back!"

Asuka whispered and quickly rushed to his baseball bag.

Without hesitation, he drew his Zanpakuto under Yoh Asakura's shocked gaze.

The blade gleamed with a cold light; although it contained no spiritual energy, it could still cut a hair in two.

He could feel his still-healing ribs groaning under the sudden pressure, but he did not back down.

On the contrary, due to this extreme pressure, the energy within his body began to flow in a strange, accelerated manner.

It seems that the seal on spiritual pressure is loosening.

"What...what kind of monster is this?" Asakura Yoh murmured, gripping tightly the broken stick he had picked up from the grave.

"It's a nightmare for this world."

Meanwhile, in Soul Society.

The Spirit Court, an area perpetually surrounded by white stone walls, is currently in a state of subtle tension.

On the tower located in the 12th Division's territory, a huge spiritual antenna is spinning wildly, monitoring the spiritual pressure fluctuations in the present world.

This is the heart of the Technology Development Bureau, a cold, rational world comprised of countless flickering screens and a complex network of pipes.

Drip—drip—drip—

A sudden alarm broke the silence in the laboratory.

"What's going on? This wave pattern's wavelength—"

A researcher wearing the uniform of the Twelfth Division was frantically typing on a keyboard.

He stared at the red dot on the screen, his voice filled with disbelief.

"Report! An unusual spiritual pressure reaction has been detected at the coordinates of Tobirari Hill in the eastern region of Karakura Town in the present world!"

"The energy level is rapidly increasing, having already surpassed the threshold of a Gillian-class Hollowfication!"

"What's the big deal about this?"

A somber, hoarse voice, like the crawling of a venomous snake, came from the shadows deep within the laboratory.

With heavy footsteps, a strangely dressed figure slowly emerged.

His face was painted in black and white, he wore a huge circular ornament on his head, and his hands were hidden in his wide sleeves.

Those golden eyes, filled with neurotic madness, shone with a chilling light.

"Karakura Town is a place heavily inhabited by spirits, so why panic about any unusual reactions?"

Captain of the 12th Division, and the second director of the Technology Development Bureau, Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

He pushed aside the researcher blocking his way with some annoyance and stared indifferently at the flickering wavelengths on the screen.

"Director, it's not just Karakura Town." Akin, the third seat of the Technology Development Bureau, walked over, his expression not good.

He handed over an updated spiritual pressure monitoring report: "A month ago, unexplained spiritual energy disturbances began to appear in Fuyuki City... Last week, a brief spiritual pressure gap occurred in the Shibuya area..."

"And now, a similar situation has occurred at Zhangzhi Hill!"
