Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 402 Unfinished Last Words

"What...what's going on...my body...inside..."

"Hojo Masanobu clutched his chest in terror. The twisted blood vessels rooted in his body convulsed violently with waves of pain, almost tearing his body apart."

He could clearly feel the surging spiritual pressure within his body disintegrating at an alarming rate...

Something is disintegrating his body from the inside!

Asuka slowly put away the raccoon dog, coldly watching Hojo Shinnobu convulsing in pain on the ground.

"My Zanpakuto can not only devour the enemy's spiritual pressure, but also transform my own spiritual pressure into countless tiny viruses that silently infiltrate the enemy's body with each clash of swords."

Looking into those despairing, tan eyes, Asuka explained calmly, "From the very first time we fought, your body was already invaded by the stolen spiritual power."

"The reason I'm not in a hurry to retaliate, the reason I'm playing along with you... is simply to allow these viruses to penetrate deeper and more thoroughly into your body."

"I'm just curious whether a captain-level Shinigami who can master Bankai can be eroded and decomposed by my spiritual pressure... That's all."

Asuka's gaze turned icy cold as she uttered a silent pronouncement: "Tear it apart."

boom!!!

As Asuka finished speaking, the dark red spiritual energy dormant within Hojo Shinnobu's body instantly exploded!

They transformed into countless ferocious hounds, beginning to wreak havoc inside his body, devouring every tangible spiritual structure.

Customers, customers, customers, customers, customers!

Hojo Masanobu let out a piercing scream, so sharp and shrill that Ruri Chiyo couldn't help but cover her ears.

It wasn't just because the bird's spiritual power was tearing at his soul.

At this moment, two forces within his body are vying for his life force.

The raccoon seizes, and the tapir wields a knife.

They were like two hyenas devouring a carcass, rampaging through his body recklessly, just to get a little more food.

This put Hojo Masanobu in a difficult position.

He rolled on the ground in agony, clawing at his chest with both hands, trying to dig out the monsters wreaking havoc inside him.

But all of this was in vain.

The dark red tentacles rooted in Hojo Masanobu's body, upon sensing the host's rapid loss of life force and the threat of death, not only did not stop absorbing his life force, but instead fell into a frenzied survival instinct.

They bound Hojo's hands and feet, causing him pain but preventing him from struggling. He endured the torment, howling incessantly.

The scene was so tragic that even Asuka, the instigator, frowned.

"Hmm...it seems the 'abduction' virus isn't very effective against overly powerful opponents..."

'

"If it weren't for this guy's spiritual pressure being so weak, and the fact that he had Yao Dao, the mole, helping him out," things wouldn't have gone so smoothly..."

Asuka coldly observed Hojo Masanobu's reaction, noting the changes that occurred in him.

Under this double cruel oppression, Hojo Masanobu's originally robust body began to shrink rapidly at a visible rate.

The metallic, matte gray skin had lost all its luster, clinging tightly to the bones like a mummy that had been dried for a thousand years.

"No... help... help me..."

Hojo Masanobu stretched out his withered arm, which resembled a dead tree branch, and weakly scratched at the sky.

Those once ambitious eyes were now filled with fear and regret for death.

In his quest for power and his own ridiculous ambition, he was willing to sell his soul to the sword and to those people.

In the end, he not only failed to gain the power to control everything, but was also devoured by the knife, suffering a fate worse than death.

"...Spirit King, Spirit King's agent!"

He suddenly roared, attracting the bird's attention.

"You don't want to... you know that! You... your mother!"

"Tokihime... Princess Tokihime's... message!!"

Hojo's body was becoming increasingly broken due to the dual erosion from the scabbard and the tapir blade, and the sounds escaping from his throat were becoming intermittent.

Of course he didn't want to die like that!

He wanted to seize this last chance to save his life!

"What did you say?!"

Almost instantly, Asuka felt like her scalp was about to explode.

His breathing became rapid and erratic; fragments of memory, deliberately sealed away deep within him, were slowly tearing at his nerves.

He suddenly bent down, grabbed Hojo Masanobu by the collar, and saw that the other man's flesh was disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

My spiritual power is about to destroy this person!

"What do you know! Tell me!!"

"Help...me...."

'

"Speak! Speak up!!"

Because of the backlash from the Baku Yao Blade, blood vessels burst open on Hojo's twisted and unwilling face, trembling and spitting blood all over Asuka's face, making both of them look extremely terrifying.

Adding to the pressure, Asuka was radiating an extremely terrifying aura due to her emotional fluctuations, causing even Hirako, who was approaching, to frown deeply...

"...This aura...is he really not a masked man?"

The surging spiritual pressure cooled the surrounding air again, freezing the ground into layers of white frost, just like the situation in front of Urahara's shop.

"It's that kind of spiritual pressure again... But I remember, my brother's Zanpakuto is clearly a lightning and fire attribute Zanpakuto..." Urahara said, adjusting the brim of his hat in confusion.

"Asuka! Calm down!"

A soft shout rang out behind him, and Shinobu Kocho gracefully landed beside him.

She stroked the bird's back, trying to soothe the raging spiritual pressure within him, but the effect wasn't very good...

"Let him live! Endure, let him live no matter what!" Asuka suddenly turned her head, her voice filled with unprecedented panic and pleading.

We absolutely cannot let him die like this! This is the closest Asuka has ever come to the truth!

Shinobu quickly crouched down, released her Zanpakuto, and pressed it against the opponent's chest, allowing the spirit insects to burrow into Hojo's increasingly emaciated body.

She bit her lower lip tightly, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

But, no.

66

...His spiritual energy has completely collapsed, Asuka.

"Your spiritual power... plus the backlash from the Tapir Blade... I can only try my best to maintain his consciousness for the last few seconds."

The spiritual power of the mongoose was far too domineering, and the Mo Yao Dao was an even more ravenous beast.

They frantically fought with Shinobu Kocho's spirit insects for Hojo's last bit of life force. The spirit insects had just repaired a spirit network when they were devoured along with it in the next second.

The spirit insects could not stop the bird's spiritual energy from eroding it, nor could they replenish the life force that the bird had already lost.

Hojo's lips moved with difficulty, and a large amount of dark red blood foam gushed from his throat.

He looked at the bird's face, so close to his own, filled with anger and resentment, and a sad smile even appeared in its unfocused pupils.

"It's...so much like it...ah..."

"Toki...Princess..."

His voice grew weaker and weaker, intermittent, as if it would dissipate with a gust of wind.

Asuka dared not reach out to touch Hojo, fearing that her unnecessary movement would hasten the man's death.

He practically pressed himself against Hojo, trying to hear her words as clearly as possible: "What did you say? Who is Tokihime?"

tell me!"

"West...slightly...bureau..."

""

As he uttered those last three words, his body suddenly began to convulse violently.

Immediately afterwards, the core of the Maoyao Blade, deeply rooted in his body, let out its final hiss.

The dark red light reached its peak for a moment, then quickly collapsed.

Hojo's body, like a dried-up tree, completely disintegrated into a pile of black dust under the gaze of Asuka and Shinobu.

Only the arm armor, now a dark red from overeating, still trembled unwillingly on the ground.

The bird knelt on the spot, its hands dangling in mid-air, its fingertips trembling.

"Damn it... damn it!!!"

He suddenly stood up, gripped the sword, and swung it fiercely at the door of the Xia Dalu family.

boom-!!!

The black and red sword pressure blasted out, carving a trench several meters deep into the ground!

clang!!

Feiniao gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot and trembling with rage, and slammed her fist into the blade of the monstrous weapon: "Haven't you ever seen food before?! Huh?! Why are you eating so fast?! Are you really that short of a meal?!"

A
