Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 370 Unrestricted Outliers

Yusuke couldn't dodge in time and could only block with his arm.

With a bang, he was jolted back several steps, and a bruise appeared on his arm.

"These guys are incredibly strong and have amazing defense!" He shook his numb hands.

"Detective! Don't fight them head-on! Their power comes from constantly replenishing their Soul Essence!" Shinobu Kocho shouted a reminder from behind.

Shinobu drew her sword from her waist and, with her superb swordsmanship and footwork, nimbly weaved through the samurai's encirclement.

"Dance of Bee Fangs: True Style!!"

Using her high-speed movement, she found a weakness in these heavily armored warriors and pierced one of their right eyes with her sword.

Unfortunately, although the samurai let out a heart-wrenching scream, he immediately opened his mouth wide and inhaled the two ghosts floating around him.

In the blink of an eye, the bloody hole that Shinobu Kocho had pierced was completely healed.

"Hahahaha! Useless! In the realm where the Valley of Cry overlaps with the real world, we Ryudoji are invincible!"

Ryudoji Genryu laughed arrogantly.

He didn't even intend to take action himself, but coldly watched as his subordinates cornered these uninvited guests.

"You lackeys of the Soul Court! And that wild brat who appeared out of nowhere, you'll both obediently become stepping stones for our revenge!"

The enemy outnumbers them, and they are able to continuously absorb the souls to heal their injuries and restore their strength.

Without the ability to use Kido and Zanpakuto, relying solely on sword techniques effective against ordinary enemies would be of little use.

"Damn it! How am I supposed to fight this?!" Yusuke dodged the enemy's blows, his mind filled with horror: "Are these guys immortal?"

If this continues, we'll be dragged down sooner or later.

Clang—!

"Roar, you plunderers!"

Yanlong, who was mocking Yusuke, suddenly heard a malicious whisper beside him.

He turned his head sharply, as if he were seeing the most unbelievable and terrifying scene in the world.

A violent and ferocious black-red spiritual pressure slash, filled with endless malice, was hurtling towards him!

boom!!!

The spiritual pressure was so strong that it even formed a small spiritual pressure storm in the air.

The dark red spiritual pressure tore through the sky, and the souls that were originally floating in the air were burned into nothingness the moment they came into contact with the dark red flames!

At the same time, it also forced back the Ryudoji samurai who were constantly pressuring Yusuke and Shinobu.

The one who swung the sword was Fei Niao, who was not far away and exuded a fierce fighting spirit.

"Release your Zanpakuto?! You're insane!" Yan Long exclaimed incredulously, instinctively taking a half-step back. "In this space, a Shinigami's spiritual pressure should be completely sealed! How could you possibly perform Shikai without any hindrance?"

Asuka ignored Yanlong's shock.

Swish!

His figure left a black and red afterimage in place, and the sound of air being torn apart rang out from all directions.

"Be careful!"

The Ryudoji samurai who had just been besieging Yusuke heard a startled cry from Yanlong.

Before he could react, a deadly chill enveloped his entire body.

Pfft—!

The monstrous beast, burning with dark red spiritual pressure, easily tore through the samurai's prized heavy armor as if slicing through tofu.

Slash in with the left shoulder, slash out with the right waist.

The samurai didn't even feel any pain before he saw the world around him suddenly tilt.

Then, he watched helplessly as his lower body remained standing in place, while his upper body slid to the ground.

"What...is going on...

Seeing this, the other samurai was horrified and raised his long staff to retaliate.

But Fei Niao simply flicked his wrist, and a black and red blade of light drew a fierce sword beam in mid-air.

Click!

The samurai, along with his staff, was instantly cleaved in two!

In the blink of an eye, the two Ryudoji samurai, who possessed extremely strong defenses, were crushed like ants.

"Too...too strong..." Yusuke stared blankly at the two corpses with smooth, mirror-like cuts, nervously swallowing hard. "Just who is this guy?"

Peony in the sky trembled with fear, saying, "I told you! He had a terrifying aura! Luckily, Yusuke, you didn't anger him!"

"Damn it! You damned Grim Reaper! How dare you kill the elite of my Ryudoji Temple!"

Yan Long's heart bled when he saw this scene.

These warriors were retainers of their clan who had wandered the Broken Realm for thousands of years. Even if they weren't lord and subject, they had a deep bond. Yet this guy of unknown origin dealt with them like cutting melons and vegetables.

However, he did not completely lose his mind. He knew that as long as the mechanism of the Valley Space was still in place, his subordinates would not die.

"Quick! Absorb the missing souls! Quickly heal your injuries!" Yan Long shouted, pointing at the two corpses that had been split in two.

Upon hearing the leader's command, the mutated spirits around them surged toward the two corpses like a tidal wave, attempting to merge with their wounds and reshape their flesh and souls.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

Just when Yan Long thought the miracle would happen again, the souls that tried to approach the corpse's wounds began to burn as soon as they touched the blood.

"it's useless."

Asuka held the raccoon upside down with one hand and casually shook the blood off the knife.

"Anything struck by this blade doesn't even have the right to reincarnation."

Yan Long then noticed that the edges of the cuts on those corpses were covered with an ominous blackish-red spiritual pressure.

In just a few seconds, not only were those souls that had tried to be healed burned to nothingness.

Even the mangled corpses of the two warriors were quickly reduced to black ash by this domineering power.

"This...this is impossible!!"

Yan Long was truly panicked this time.

His plan was simple: as long as this alienated space covered the entire Three Realms, those of them, who possessed "immortal power," could easily defeat the Grim Reapers who had lost their spiritual energy replenishment.

But now, this plan has been completely shattered by this man in such a brutal way!

"This isn't a Shinigami's Zanpakuto at all! What are you?!"

Asuka's gaze swept past the warriors guarding Yanlong: "Didn't you say you were invincible?"

"It seems like nothing special."

"Stop him! Everyone, attack together! Hold this monster back!"

Locked onto by this terrifying killing intent, Yan Long felt a chill run down his spine and immediately gave the remaining dozens of warriors the order to fight to the death.

He turned around without hesitation and grabbed the still unconscious Shizuku from the ground.

"As long as I have the Bead of Longing, I can return to the deepest part of the Valley of Cries! As long as I can control the process of world merging, I can still win!"

Yan Long frantically tried to comfort himself.

He raised his longsword with one hand and slashed it sharply in the air in front of him.

Sizzle—!

A portal shimmering with a dim gray light rapidly opened in front of Yan Long.

Behind that door lies the innermost and most heavily guarded alternate dimension of the valley.
