Anime Crossover: I, the Shadow King, slaughter my way through DanMachi!

The warhorse turned and charged again.

This time, the Ghost Executioner's spear danced, creating a sky full of spear shadows, blocking all of Ying Ping's escape routes.

"Inherent Time Control - Triple Speed!"

Ying Ping instantly activated his speed-up magic, dodging the barrage of spears while simultaneously inflicting a deep wound on his opponent with the Hestia Sword!

"puff!"

Gui Xingbu suffered a severe injury, and a flower of blood bloomed on his body. He staggered as he walked.

"Intruders, die!"

Gui Xingbu went mad, roared, and his warhorse suddenly accelerated, his spear thrusting straight forward like a dragon!

"clang!"

Ying Ping parried with his sword, sparks flying, and the immense impact forced him back half a step.

"Despite being severely injured, he still possesses such strength thanks to the momentum of his horse!"

Ying Ping's eyes sharpened, "Shadow Step!"

His speed suddenly increased, and his figure flashed to the side of Gui Xingbu like a ghost, slashing at the horse's leg with his sword again!

"hiss!"

The warhorse reared up in pain, but Gui Xingbu remained as steady as a mountain, sweeping his spear across!

"boom!"

"Inherent Time Control - Triple Speed!"

Ying Ping hurriedly leaned back, the tip of the spear grazing his nose, and then slashed at Gui Xingbu's arm with his sword!

"puff!"

An arm flew high into the air.

"hateful!"

The Demon General roared in pain.

"Elena, now!"

"Wind Blade - Tornado!"

Elena raised her staff high, and a violent tornado instantly swept towards Oni Gyoubu!

"Little tricks!"

With a swing of his spear, Ghost Executioner cleaved the tornado in two!

But in that instant, Ying Ping seized the opening again, leaped up suddenly, and his sword light poured down like a torrential rain!

"Puff puff!"

The Hestia Sword left several deep wounds on the armor of the Oni Gyoubu, and blood gushed out!

"Ugh!"

On the verge of death, Gui Xingbu roared and suddenly leaped from his horse, his spear crashing down like a mountain!

"Boom!"

The ground was smashed into a huge crater, which Yingping easily avoided.

He laughed loudly, sword in hand, "You... you're clearly not as strong as me, yet you're more troublesome than I imagined."

"He truly is the strongest enemy I have ever encountered."

Ghostly Executioner, panting heavily, his armor soaked in blood, still fought with undiminished spirit: "Hahaha! Thank you for the compliment! That was exhilarating! Let's go again!"

He mounted his horse again and charged forward, using his remaining intact arm to grip the spear, creating countless afterimages and forcing Ying Ping to retreat repeatedly.

"Commendable courage, but that's about all there is to it."

Ying Ping's eyes turned cold. "Everyone, hold him back!"

"Yes! Extreme Cold Flash!"

Irena's staff burst forth with a blinding blue light, and extreme frost instantly spread, freezing the hooves of the Ghost Executioner's warhorse, rendering it unable to move!

"Nature's Wrath!"

Kokoro finished chanting and summoned countless giant vines that completely bound Oni Gyoubu's body.

"It's now!"

Yingping suddenly unleashed his full speed, the Hestia Sword crackling with lightning, piercing straight for Oni Gyoubu's chest!

The blade pierced through the armor, and Oni Gyoubu let out a muffled groan, but then grinned maliciously and grabbed the blade: "Finally caught you!"

His immortality granted him a second life, so he seized the opportunity to swing his spear with his other hand and smash it hard against Ying Ping's head!

"The idea is good, but... can you do it right now?"

Yingping let out a cold laugh.

"Blade Storm!"

"Pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft!!"

Numerous wind blades sliced ​​at his face, turning Oni Gyoubu's entire upper body into sawdust, with blood gushing out.

"Ugh..."

Gui Xingbu fell heavily off his horse.

"Charge a powerful attack!"

Ignoring the blood stained his body, Ying Ping struck again with his sword, and the Ghost Ministry's warhorse fell to the ground with a mournful cry.

"He's gotten so much stronger! Has he finally activated the Shadow King class?!"

Excited, Ying Ping chose without hesitation: "Confirm extraction of the soul fragment!"

A dark purple light flashed across the ground.

The Oni Gyoubu and his warhorse actually came back to life, but their forms became somewhat illusory, and they were surrounded by shadow energy.

"Master, be careful!"

Elena and Kokoro immediately became alert, but Yingping raised his hand to signal them to calm down.

The shadow of the Ghost Minister of Justice knelt on one knee, and the warhorse lowered its head and bent its limbs, showing its submission to Ying Ping.

Although they cannot speak, their loyalty is clearly palpable.

[Level: LV10]

【Characteristics: Immortal, Absolute Obedience】

Ying Ping nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. From now on, you will be my first shadow general."

The shadow of the Ghost Executioner nodded slightly, then he and his warhorse transformed into a wisp of black mist, merging into Ying Ping's shadow.

"Master, is this your new magic...?"

Kokoro asked in surprise.

Ying Ping smiled and said, "That's right, this is the power that the Shadow King is most proud of."

"From now on, I can transform all the powerful enemies I kill into shadow soldiers who obey my commands."

Elena whistled: "Oh~ that's cool~ it looks like our next battle will be much easier."

Chapter 35: Killing Genichiro Ashina! [Seeking Flowers]

Yingping stood below the Sky Guard Pavilion, with dozens of shadow soldiers wrapped in dark energy behind him.

Oni Gyoubu, the Lone Shadow Ninjas, the elite of the Hidden Eagle Clan...

All the powerful individuals he or his shadow had slain grew like a snowball, and now they had all become the most loyal warriors.

"Master, is this really okay?"

Kokoro looked at the shadow soldiers with some unease, "They look like ghosts..."

"It's okay, don't worry."

Ying Ping smiled slightly, "So what if they're ghosts? They're an undead legion that only obeys my orders now."

Elena waved her staff excitedly: "It's great to have these guys around. We don't even have to lift a finger; we can just push our way through!"

As she said, Yingping didn't even need to take action himself.

He only needs to stand still and issue the command with a gentle wave of his hand—

"kill."

With Oni Gyoubu leading the charge, the shadow soldiers surged out like a tide, slaughtering all the Ashina soldiers they encountered along the way.

The elite ninjas of the Lone Shadow Clan attempted to resist, but their resistance was futile against the immortal shadow army.

[Kill 15 Lone Shadows, Experience Points +12000]

With the last resister falling and transforming into a shadow soldier, the path to the top floor of the castle tower was now unobstructed.

"Let's go. There aren't many survivors left in Ashina Castle. It's time to go and defeat the boss."

Yingping led Elena and Kokoro up the stairs, with shadow soldiers following closely behind.
