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

The world seemed to stop for a moment.

Yingping rushed forward with astonishing speed, grabbing Kokoro with one arm and Elena with the other, and pulled the two away from the danger zone just before the sword energy was about to hit them.

"boom!"

The spot where they had just stood was cleaved by sword energy, leaving a ravine several meters deep, and the entire castle tower was shaking violently.

"Huff...cough cough..."

After pulling the two away, Ying Ping knelt on one knee, breathing heavily.

The burden of five times the speed was far beyond his imagination, and he felt like he almost fainted.

My muscles were groaning, my brain was dizzy, and my internal organs felt like they were on fire.

"Owner!"

Kokoro quickly cast a healing spell, and a soft green light enveloped Yingping's entire body.

Elena quickly raised her staff: "Frost Nova!"

Extremely cold ice spikes rained down on Isshin Ashina.

"A petty trick of unorthodox methods."

Isshin Ashina snorted coldly, and with a light swing of his Mortal Blade, all the ice spikes shattered in mid-air.

Ying calmed down, then gritted his teeth and stood up: "Shadow Legion, all forces attack!"

In an instant, countless dark figures surged out from beneath his feet.

Oni Gyoubu, Genichiro, and the elite of the Lone Shadow Clan...

All the transformed shadow soldiers poured out, surging towards Isshin Ashina like a tidal wave.

"Ha, using the undead of my subordinates against me?"

A hint of sorrow flashed in Ashina Isshin's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a fierce fighting spirit. "Then I'll show you what a true sword saint is!"

He flashed and charged into the shadow legion!

"Secret Technique: One Heart!"

The Mortal Blade's sword energy transformed into countless afterimages, like a dimensional slash, each strike precisely aimed at the shadow soldiers' vital points.

Although these shadows are immortal, they will temporarily dissipate when struck, and will require additional magic power and time to re-condense.

Yingping watched with a pounding heart.

This old man's strength far exceeds expectations!

With a level of LV15+ and unparalleled swordsmanship, he was able to withstand the siege of the Shadow Legion with ease!

If he were to face this shadow legion himself, he probably wouldn't last long before being defeated!

"Master, what should I do?"

Kokkoro asked anxiously, "If this continues..."

Elena's expression also turned grave: "Should we retreat first? This old man is too strong; relying solely on our shadow soldiers might be..."

Ying Ping narrowed his eyes, realizing something was amiss.

He carefully observed the battle situation and said in a deep voice: Don't rush, wait a little longer.

Sure enough, as time went on, Isshin Ashina's movements began to slow down.

An unnatural flush rose on his pale face, and he coughed slightly after each swing of his knife.

"really..."

Ying Ping said in a low voice that he was old and seriously ill, and probably wouldn't last much longer.

Just then, an unexpected situation occurred—

Suddenly, Genichiro broke through the defenses and stabbed Isshin Ashina in the thigh!

"Ugh!"

Isshin Ashina let out a muffled groan, looking down at his once most beloved grandson, his eyes filled with sorrow, "Genichiro...you..."

This blow seemed to shatter the old man's last fighting spirit.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Isshin Ashina roared to the sky, his violent sword energy shattering all the surrounding shadows: "If I were five years younger... no, three years younger! You cowards wouldn't be able to..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old man suddenly coughed violently, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Winning and drawing, they seized the opportunity and unleashed their full potential!

"Shadow Step! Time-limited four-times speed control! Charged strike! Crippling strike! Blade Storm!"

All skills were activated simultaneously, and Ying Ping's figure turned into a blur, with the Hestia Sword radiating a dazzling light.

"Divine blessing! Aurora blooms!"

Kokkoro's buff spell landed just in time.

"Die, Sword Saint!"

Yingping's sword light poured down like a silver river, instantly engulfing Ashina Isshin!

"boom!"

Countless sword lights poured down like a torrential rain.

Ashina Isshin barely managed to parry the first three sword strikes, but the fourth strike severed his left arm, the fifth cleaved his chest, and the sixth...

When Ying Ping stopped, the Sword Saint had become a mangled body riddled with holes.

Isshin Ashina staggered backward, but still managed to stand, leaning on his Mortal Blade.

"As expected of... the Sword Saint..."

Ying Ping, panting heavily, looked at his opponent who was still standing, "But you've probably reached the end."

Isshin Ashina's body is indeed immortal, and his wounds are slowly healing.

Perhaps it was because he drank the Elixir of Immortality, but it was far inferior to the power of Genichiro's Dragon Blood in his previous life.

"Killing intent locked on!"

Yingping wouldn't give his opponent a chance to recover, and swung his sword fiercely again!

"Shh!"

With a flash of sword light, Isshin Ashina's head flew high into the air.

"As expected of me who defeated the Sword Saint, I have actually leveled up twice again."

Ying Ping let out a long sigh of relief and picked up the fallen item, the Mortal Blade, which exuded an ominous aura.

It felt icy cold to the touch, and you could sense the immense power it contained.

You must be extremely careful when using this knife.

Because once someone is injured, the wound may not heal easily.

It is called the Mortal Blade because this sword can cut through the undead.

[Soul fragment detected. Extract as a shadow soldier?]

"extract."

Following Winpei's command, Ashina Isshin's corpse was shrouded in black mist.

A moment later, a figure wearing a straw raincoat knelt on one knee in front of him.

Shadow Soldier Isshin Ashina

[Level: LV15]

【Characteristics: Immortal, Absolute Obedience】

"Ha, even the Sword Saint has become my shadow soldier. Who in the Sekiro world can stand against me now?"

Yingping nodded in satisfaction and looked at Elena and Kokkoro who were running over: "Everyone, take a rest, and then we should go find the whereabouts of the other Mortal Blade."

After resting for a while, Yingping found a yellowed map in a secret room in the castle tower.

"Found it. This leads to Senpou Temple on Mount Kumgang."

He carefully examined the route above, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Elena leaned closer to look at the map, tilted her head, and asked, "Master, is the other Mortal Blade over there?"

"Ah."

Yingping put away the map. "If I remember correctly, the Tears of Resurrection are in the hands of the Child of the Transcendental Temple."

Kokoro gripped her staff tightly: "Then let's set off quickly!"

The three left the castle tower and headed towards Mount Kumgang along the mountain path.

The few enemies encountered along the way did not require Ying Ping to personally intervene.

"Shadow Legion".

Ying Ping waved his hand lightly, and several figures emerged from the black mist.

Oni Gyoubu rode his warhorse, Genichiro held a large bow, and Ashina Isshin stood at the forefront, leaning on his katana.

"Kill them all."

With a command from Ying Ping, the Shadow Legion swept through the mountain road like a whirlwind.

Those samurai and monk soldiers who tried to stop them were no match for the combined forces of the Sword Saint and the Demon General.

"No matter how many times I see it, I still think these shadow soldiers are really amazing..." Kokoro swallowed hard.

"Of course, an immortal body that also inherits the power from its previous life, anyone would have a headache seeing that."

Elena nodded in deep agreement and was happy to have some free time.

When the three arrived at the gate of Xianfeng Temple, the gate was tightly closed, and dozens of martial monks were already waiting in full force.

They held Buddhist knives in their hands and chanted incantations.

【Senpoong Temple Warrior Monks】

Level: LV8+

【Characteristics: Indestructible Body】

The leading demonic monk sneered, "Intruders, don't even think about defiling this sacred land!"

Ying Ping, too lazy to waste words, snapped his fingers and ordered, "Kill."

Isshin Ashina struck first, his katana drawing a graceful arc: "Secret Dragon Flash!"

A white sword aura swept across, instantly slicing the front-row monks in half at the waist!
