Crossover Anime: The Bull Demon's Road to Conquest

After blasting a ditch like a plow, Ran Honglian, dragging countless snake tails, pounced on Iizuna Noriyuki, but was blocked by a group of demon foxes that seemed to have emerged from a bloodbath.

"Your 'pig' is finally doing something useful, besides listening to gossip."

The figure appeared behind Izuna Noriyuki. Yomi swung her sword, but it was blocked by Izuna Noriyuki. She couldn't help but sneer and mock.

"My katana has always been useful, but it's not only female barbarians like you who only know how to wield a sword that are useful."

A deep sense of disgust and hatred welled up in Noriyuki Iizuka's eyes. Sanzu River and Hiroshi had told him that his fate had been altered and that it was originally Yomi Isayama who should have suffered an unfortunate fate.

But the despicable Isayama Yomi sided with the devil, using the devil's power to transfer her fate to her fiancé. Such shamelessness was bound to arouse the utter loathing of Iizuna Noriyuki, who learned the 'truth'.

Harboring intense hatred and possessing the power of the Killing Stone, Noriyuki Iitsuna couldn't wait to take revenge on Yomi. However, Yomi was unaware of the source of Iitsuna's hatred.

However, the other party's taunts were still very effective. After sensing the other party's hostility and hatred, Huang Quan, whose eyes narrowed slightly, was already somewhat annoyed. Even after seeing the scene of being abandoned in the future, he did not turn evil and seek revenge afterwards.

Even considering the seriousness of Izuna's actions, she temporarily suppressed her plan to annul the engagement. Now, however, the other party is seeking revenge. Thinking that Kagura might also be in danger, Yomi, anxious and increasingly furious, felt a surge of anger.

Magic surged, and his eyes glowed with an eerie light. The interplay of light and shadow between life and death blurred and indistinct Huang Quan's figure, as if he had entered another dark and unpredictable world.

"I see. He was restrained. It seems that Izuna's revenge is likely to fail."

On a rooftop in the distance, the white-haired boy Sanzuhe and Hong smiled and said to Niu Kun beside them.

Niu Kun, dressed in a set of black Western-style heavy armor that looked like something out of a fantasy game, pushed aside the protruding visor and looked at Sanzuhe and Hong.

"With me here, defeat is inevitable, but why...why do you intend to call a truce?"

"Because you and I don't have any real conflict, or rather, not yet."

After Sanzuhe and Hongyi stopped Niu Kun, they did not intend to fight. Instead, they proposed a temporary truce.

"No?"

Niu Kun suddenly understood, but he still pretended to be confused.

"Hmm, I... I'm not entirely sure what your purpose is, but it can't be some pointless sense of justice, can it?"

Sanzu River and Hiro asked hesitantly. Although demons and justice could not be linked together, judging from the other party's style of doing things, it could be said that it was not completely unrelated to the so-called justice and kindness, but it could be said that it was completely contrary to them.

But who knows if the other party will deliberately say that they are doing it for justice and love? However, Sanzu River and Hiro really can't figure out what Niu Kun is trying to do.

"Of course... no, we demons would be laughed at if we talked about justice."

Niu Kun's answer relieved the other party, but Niu Kun's next words made him frown again.

"However...we demons also enjoy doing things that harm others without benefiting ourselves. What if I happen to enjoy going against you?"

Sanzukawa and Hiroshi fell silent upon hearing this. This... seemed entirely possible. Sighing, feeling somewhat weary, Sanzukawa and Hiroshi decided to patiently try to persuade the other party again. After all, they were both villains, and how could villains...

Well, villains fighting each other is all too common.

But we still need to try harder.

"My goal is to collect all the Killing Stones and revive the Nine-Tailed Fox. Although you also have a Killing Stone, there is absolutely no need for you and me to go to war before the final moment."

"How about we temporarily cease hostilities, wait until we've collected all the Killing Stones, and then settle the score? The victor will possess all the Killing Stones, what do you say?"

Sanzu River and Hong Man looked at Niu Kun expectantly. Sure enough, Niu Kun also fell into contemplation. Although he did not want the other party to have his way, he lacked the ability to kill him at the moment.

If they were to engage in a vicious, bottomless battle, their own subordinates would likely suffer greater losses. Although Niu Kun did not intend to revive the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Killing Stone was an excellent material for crafting magical artifacts.

Although the conflict exists, it can be postponed for the time being. He can wait until he is fully equipped with magical tools before engaging in a decisive battle with the opponent. Thinking of this, Niu Kun has already shown some interest.

Sanzukawa and Hiroshi, who had observed Niu Kun's expression, breathed a sigh of relief. They were also unable to kill Niu Kun and were not entirely sure how much Niu Kun valued the women under his command.

What Sanzu River and Hiro want to do now is to temporarily prevent the other party from interfering with their collection of the Killing Stone and their efforts to break some seals.

The giant moth flew away in a whirlwind. Having achieved their goal, Sanzukawa and Hiroshi called back Iizuna Noriyuki, who was at a disadvantage, to avoid losing this newly acquired ally.

With eyes full of hatred, Noriyuki Iitsuna had no choice but to retreat, though unwilling.

"Next time we meet, I'll definitely kill you."

Huang Quan snorted coldly, then turned to Niu Kun, who had appeared, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Are we just going to let them go like this?"

Niu Kun stepped forward, picked up Huang Quan, and placed him on his shoulder, replying nonchalantly, "What else can we do? That white-haired guy runs fast; it's pointless to stop him. Let's go check on Kagura and the others first."

Huang Quan, who was sitting on Niu Kun's shoulders, realized upon hearing this that she was originally going to rescue Kagura. She anxiously tapped Niu Kun's helmet and urged, "Right, Kagura, hurry up, let's go!"

(This chapter is a little over three thousand words, so let's call it one and a half chapters. I'm too sleepy.)

Chapter 174 Shadow

On the dilapidated staircase, a sticky, dark red liquid slowly dripped down, and the badly damaged handrail was covered in nauseating filth.

A thin mist, like a veil, shrouded the dimly lit stairwell, its faint, murmured whispers lingering in the air, eerie and chaotic, instilling both fear and unease.

Overwhelmed.

"Ha, what a treacherous trick."

Yuko snorted disdainfully, completely forgetting that she herself had scared many people in her younger days, using even cruder methods than this.

Above the corner of the stairs, a red woman's figure appeared silently. Her curves were quite graceful, but her messy black hair fell down, obscuring her face. Her hair and clothes looked wet. Could she have drowned before she died?

However, the woman's long red dress was too vibrant, as if it had been stained with blood. When the woman's hair swept to the sides, revealing a face covered in knife scars, almost unrecognizable...

Da da da~~

A crisp gunshot rang out, and three tongues of fire shot out.

If it were any other ordinary girl, she might be frightened, but clearly neither Yuuko, Hitagi, nor Tsubasa are ordinary girls.

The specially made exorcising bullets are less penetrating and lethal to matter than ordinary ammunition, but they are extremely effective against supernatural creatures such as ghosts and phantoms.

The densely packed exorcising bullets exploded into golden light before penetrating the red-clad female ghost. This wasn't because they missed, but because a mysterious force field spread out around the female ghost.

The exorcising bullets that exploded were meant to wear down and shatter the force field around the female ghost. However, after Yuko and the other two finished firing a magazine, the female ghost had already vanished without a trace.

Did they run away?

Hei Yi tilted her head slightly and asked with some curiosity.

"They can't escape. Let's find Kagura and the others first."

Yuko waved her hand and said confidently, then ignored the so-called ghost wall trick and walked straight into the depths of the library.

..........

"Hmm... does anyone remember... how many floors this library has?"

The girls who were climbing the stairs were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and they all looked at Kirie who asked the question. Kirie stopped and asked with a serious expression.

"this..."

Yu tapped his forehead, frowned, and said, "I seem to remember something, it's the fifth floor... yeah, that's right, it's the fifth floor."

“It’s the fifth floor…” Hinako nodded seriously and continued, “I remember seeing a shabby sign downstairs that said it only goes up to the fifth floor.”

"However, it's possible that only five floors will be open to the public, but at most six... Right, how many floors have we already gone up?"

Tao Hui only realized this belatedly and exclaimed in surprise. As Tao Hui cried out in confusion, the surrounding light and shadow instantly distorted and changed, becoming mottled and eerie, dazzling and mesmerizing.

Once the illusions around them faded, the girls realized that they were not in the stairwell, but in a messy restroom, the dark brown floor resembling the color of dried blood.

"Have we been going around in circles in this restroom the whole time?"

Miku huddled closer to Chizuru with some fear, while Chizuru, trying to appear calm, looked at Kagura. Sensing the reliance in her companions' eyes, Kagura shook her head and said...

"No, we should have gone down the corridor to the restroom, and then wandered around in the restroom, mistaking it for going up the stairs."

Kagura's mind replayed two images: one was the false scene they saw in the illusion, and the other was the real scene they actually walked through.

In the actual footage, a blurry red figure could be seen almost inadvertently.

"Do you remember... that rumor Hinako told you?"

"Which... um... you mean?"

Chizuru shuddered upon hearing this, and the others, looking at the filthy and gloomy restroom, quickly recalled the rumored girl who committed suicide in the library restroom.

"No...no way..."

The girls, looking at each other in bewilderment, grew increasingly frightened. Just then, a dark figure slowly slipped into the bathroom. Noticing this, the girls hurriedly raised their weapons and pointed them at the figure that had entered the bathroom.

Amidst the overlapping beams of several flashlights, the indistinct shadow of a girl emerged from the darkness. She had long, straight black hair, the outline of what appeared to be an old-fashioned school uniform, and a full yet slender figure...

It felt strangely familiar, like someone I knew...

Before Kagura could even furrow her brow in deep thought, the shadowy figure of the girl, whose features were obscured, suddenly made her move. The figure abruptly transformed into a dense web of shadow ropes, bypassing Kagura who was blocking her way, and heading straight for... Kirie, who was hiding in the crowd.

"Hey, you are...?"

Kagura, suddenly realizing what was happening, was about to ask a question with a puzzled look in her eyes, but then she reacted, her expression changed drastically, and she turned around and swung her wooden sword at Kirie behind her.

But then Wu Jiang, who was hiding behind, smirked, and red marks appeared on his face. Crimson blood rose from his feet and spread into a pool of viscous blood.

The countless shadow ropes that were originally wrapped around Wujiang from the ceiling and all sides instantly changed their target, instead binding and suspending the stunned girls in a very indecent manner.

At this moment, Chizuru and Miku also realized what was happening, gave up struggling, and let the Shadow Rope drag them away. Kagura, who was the first to react and turned around to swing her sword to save her companions, was also tied up and dragged away.

"Whoa! What...what's going on?!"

Still completely bewildered, Momoko, along with Hinako and Yu, wanted to struggle a little longer, but after noticing Kirie's abnormality, they were even more at a loss and stopped struggling.

"Kirie must be possessed, and the dark figure here is Miss Yuko."

Kagura, who had been hit on the back of the head, ignored the pain and quickly comforted her companions. They were tied up with shadow ropes and dragged out of the bathroom all at once.

During the process, because the bathroom door was a bit narrow, the girls inevitably bumped into each other, and even tripped on the door frame, making them dizzy and disheveled.

"You're a ghost too, why are you intruding into my territory?"

The possessed 'Kirie' moved her limbs, cleared her throat, tested her voice, and then asked the shadowy Yuuko in a slightly puzzled tone. However, Yuuko did not answer her, but instead stood in front of the bathroom entrance to protect the other girls she had dragged out.

"Can't you speak?"

With bloodshot eyes, 'Mist River' sneered and suddenly raised his hand. Instantly, countless blood-red scalpels flew out from the ground, densely stabbing towards the dark figure shrouding the bathroom.

The shattered shadows were constantly being reassembled, but the speed of reassembly could not keep up with the speed of being disintegrated by the blood-red scalpel. Just as 'Kirie', who was holding a scalpel in each hand, was about to break through Kageyuko's obstruction.

A series of gunshots rang out again, and exorcising bullets blocked the bathroom door. Ying Xizi transformed into a black shadow and instantly merged into the body of the arriving Xizi.

"Let's go all out!"

Yuuko chuckled and tossed a grenade she was holding in each hand into the bathroom. Behind her, Hitagi and Tsubasa each held a gun in one hand and an unfolded folding shield in the other.

Boom!

A violent explosion and a dazzling flash of light spread out instantly.

(Sorry for the delay today, I'll try to resume updates tomorrow.)

Chapter 175 Trust

"Huh? Kirie... Kirie?!"

Amidst the explosion, Momoko, who was crouching on the ground clutching her head, couldn't help but cry out Kirie's name. In her mind, Kirie seemed... surely dead.

Possessed by evil spirits, shot by bullets, and blown up by grenades, how could he possibly survive?

Of course, this is actually because Tao Hui is inexperienced, but you can't blame her, after all, just a couple of days ago she was just an ordinary junior high school student.

Moreover, it has not yet received the contract enhancement from Niu Kun.

Actually, the girls have already performed exceptionally well to have held on this long. In addition, it's also because they feel that... they have a demon boss backing them up. Kagura and the other two girls are officially enrolled witches, while Hinako and the other three are prospective witches.

Although demons have a bad reputation, well, it should be very bad, but bad as it may be, demons have always been synonymous with terror and power, well, although there are also a lot of cannon fodder demons.

But after all, in various classic dramas, demons are often the main villains. Being bad is fine, as long as they are powerfully evil, as long as they are not both bad and weak.

So, besides fear, the girls' mentality also developed a sense of superiority that set them apart from others. This is understandable, since no one is perfect and everyone has some vanity, vanity, or escapist tendencies.

However... firstly, Kirie, who was possessed, was not that fragile, and secondly, what Yuuko threw was not a fragmentation grenade, but a powerful stun grenade with exorcising effects.

If the target is something supernatural or ghostly, physical grenades are less effective than stun grenades.

The wall was smashed open, and 'Mist River', surrounded by floating blood mist, stared at Yuko with bloodshot eyes. She could naturally see Yuko's identity, but Yuko's stable spirit body, which was as if she were alive, still surprised her.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel greedy. Possession was good, but it was not her own body after all. After seeing Yuko's spirit, the female ghost had a new idea.

Seeing that Kirie was alright, Momo and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Then, under the protection of Hitagi and Tsubasa, they stepped back a bit. Hitagi and Tsubasa then used their respective methods to assist Yuuko, but because the evil spirit possessed Kirie, it inevitably made things difficult for Yuuko and the others.

While a fierce battle raged inside the dilapidated library, Niu Kun, carrying Huang Quan on his shoulder, arrived outside the library building and said, "Hey, you're making it seem like our positions have been reversed?"
