Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

It is often said that practice is the best teacher, and there is certainly truth to that.

Although Jing Guanlu's combat skills were still rusty, she quickly adapted, from exchanging a dozen wounds for a life at the beginning to being able to kill someone with just a few wounds.

The proportion of injuries is gradually decreasing.

As the death toll continued to rise, the soldiers were reminded of their fear of the monsters and began to act timidly, even though Sone increased the rewards once again.

After all, any normal person would be afraid of an enemy who can take dozens of blows and be completely unharmed, yet still manage to kill you one by one.

As for the so-called guards and warriors...

No matter how big the pie in the picture is, it's just a picture if you can't eat it!

However, their retreat did not help them survive, since for Lu, everyone present had to die!

Lu was already in a killing frenzy.

Meanwhile, the corpses that had just fallen seemed to come alive, twitching and struggling violently.

This sudden turn of events made the already fearful soldiers even more panicked. If it weren't for Sone's considerable prestige and the presence of his personal guards supervising and coordinating the battle from behind, they would probably have already fled in complete chaos.

After all, most of the soldiers were farmers, and they were forced to fight on the battlefield, so their morale couldn't be very high.

They can only fight when they're winning. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many bandits and outlaws outside. Most of them are defeated when they're losing, so they just run away, afraid of being punished and not daring to go home.

The corpse on the ground struggled even more violently, its twisted posture resembling a wriggling pupa, making one feel uneasy.

And the cicada pupa will naturally undergo a metamorphosis!

giggle-

A strange sound rang out, like the cracking sound of knuckles rubbing together.

However, the continuous and intense noise felt like the bones and joints of the body were rusted, which not only did not relieve the stress, but also made people feel panicked!

The corpses that had been dead on the ground suddenly came back to life!

However, only a 'part' of it survived!

Chapter 348 The Dead Resurrected, Activated!

puff--

The sound of flesh being pierced rang out again.

The skeletons in the corpse looked like moths emerging from their cocoons, forcefully tearing the 'flesh' off completely, as if a onesie had been ripped off.

Then these skeletons picked up the weapons on the ground, their empty eye sockets glowing with a scarlet light as they looked at their former comrades.

The upper and lower jaws collided incessantly, making a clattering sound, like the drumbeats leading to the underworld.

"Heh, although he's terrible at combat, his abilities are pretty good. He seems quite interesting."

Upon seeing the resurrected skeletons, Lingyue Fairy's eyes flashed with appreciation, clearly satisfied with the abilities she had displayed.

After Xia Yan used his "Mirror Still Water" ability to erase their presence, the two of them stood still and watched the show without moving an inch.

The soldiers completely ignored the presence of the two, and even Sone, who had previously clamored to kill the three, had long forgotten that there were three yokai in total.

It wasn't that they couldn't see Xia Yan and Ling Yue Xian Ji; after all, the two weren't invisible and were standing there openly.

They simply took Xia Yan and Ling Yue Xianji standing there for granted.

It has to be said that this world has a strange fondness for the existence of monsters.

Demonic power is a comprehensive force that can satisfy most of the needs of demons.

Even if one cannot transform ninjutsu and magic into unique demonic arts like Xia Yan, the sheer wonder of demonic power itself is enough to enable demons to perform basic abilities such as creating wind and fire, moving objects out of thin air, creating illusions, and strengthening their bodies.

This is a basic ability that every monster can possess.

Further development on top of this will create unique sorcery.

For example, Tamamo-no-Mae's foxfire and Lingyue Fairy's light whip are iconic skills that can be learned, but they are difficult to master due to their high difficulty and requirements.

Some naturally gifted monsters possess unique abilities, which are often born from their very nature.

It is a true, unique talent that belongs only to oneself, an ability that no monster can learn.

This is true of Xia Yan's "Mirror Flower Water Moon" and "Mirror Still Water", Ibaraki-doji's "Hellfire", and Hone-onna's ability to revive the dead!

Ru, who transformed from a human into a monster due to resentment, is born with the ability to control resentment.

This includes not only one's own resentment, but also those unclaimed grievances.

Those soldiers who died because their resentment, which had materialized, invaded their bodies, naturally developed a deep-seated resentment during the painful process.

The resentment remaining on the corpse, manipulated by Lu, returns in the form of bones, venting its hatred on the living!

This ability is born from the yokai nature of Lu.

Therefore, it is like an instinct, and can be easily mastered even without learning or practice.

Just like even a newborn baby knows how to control its limbs and knows to drink milk through its mouth instead of forcing it in through its nose.

Even when losing their minds, they can still use this ability entirely on instinct.

The reason I didn't use this ability when I was almost killed by the soldiers was because I was in a mentally challenged state at the time. I didn't kill a single person, so I couldn't revive the skeleton.

The soldiers killed by Lu are transformed into "skeletons", and the "skeletons" will kill other soldiers, and these dead soldiers will be transformed into "skeletons" again.

Just like the reproduction and spread of bacteria, and the growth of cancer cells.

Once the snowball starts rolling, it can even overwhelm weaker monsters with sheer numbers, such as the mountain wind that hasn't eaten people for a long time.

Polite Mountain Breeze: Is that you?

In theory, if Lu can hide well and not have her true form found, she could even destroy an entire country with this ability.

This is also why Lingyue Fairy, a great demon, would appreciate Lu's ability and find it interesting.

To witness such a spectacular display of skill, those soldiers would have been well worth the price of admission, even if they died!

Soldier: Please turn on your microphone to communicate!

Of course, theory is one thing.

In reality, Lu's ability is not without limitations. It still consumes her own demonic power when used. Judging from her current strength, she can only revive two or three hundred "corpses" at most at the same time.

Lu calls this ability "Resentment".

As for whether this ability to manipulate the dead is too evil...

It's truly evil; it's as if the word "villain" is etched into its very bones.

However, Xia Yan and Lingyue Fairy are not good people either.

It wasn't even a human being.

First of all, Xia Yan's behavior of freeloading and taking whatever he likes is not something a good person would do.

Although he only ever went to the homes of the rich to freeload, displaying a chivalrous spirit of robbing the rich to help the poor, it wasn't out of sympathy for ordinary people; it was simply because poor families didn't have anything good.

As for Fairy Lingyue...

Her heavenly palace in the clouds was built with the participation of many human craftsmen, and its internal layout and structure were all designed by human masters.

As a powerful demon, she naturally couldn't be polite and spend money to hire people to do her work.

They would just tie people up and kill them if they didn't cooperate. Occasionally, during the construction process, their little monsters would take people as a meal.

In fact, apart from yokai like Ichimokuren and Enmusubi, who were once legitimate gods, which great yokai hasn't committed countless acts of killing?

Yama-kaze is a man-eating monster, and the oni clan of Mount Oe can be considered the number one enemy of Heian-kyo.

For monsters, evil is never a sin; weakness is!

"Accept my resentment! Hahahaha..."

Amidst Queen Lu's laughter, the scene descended into chaos and gradually turned into a one-sided affair.

The resurrected skeleton, armed with weapons, was completely obedient to Lu's orders due to a lack of reason, ignoring the knives falling on its body.

It pounced on its former teammates, even hanging on them and starting to bite.

Such a terrifying scene threw the already hesitant soldiers into a panic. They even dropped their weapons and, disregarding the ongoing battle, scrambled and crawled out of the camp!

Chapter 349 The Kind-Hearted Master Xia Yan

"You bastards! You wretched bastards! Don't panic, listen to my commands!"

"Don't run! Guards, kill those who are leading the escape!!"

Amidst Sone's curses, his personal guards faithfully carried out his orders, turning their swords against the soldiers who were leading the retreat.

The consequence was—

The camp was bombed!

If it were just a bunch of dead people, the soldiers wouldn't have collapsed so quickly. After all, they were all veterans who had seen plenty of dead people and were used to it.

But seeing your teammates die in battle is one thing.

Seeing his comrades die and then turn into skeleton monsters to pounce on him is another matter entirely!

The enemy itself is a terrifying monster, and the fact that it can even wield a weapon is already a result of Sone's empty promises, coupled with the terrifying scene of seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

The two fears combined, and these two terrifying events brought even greater fear...

Compared to being cleaved to death by monsters or bitten to death by skeletons, the warlord's blade seemed so insignificant.

The fear of monsters directly overshadowed the respect for military discipline.

After all, being killed by the warlord would only hurt for a moment, but being killed by a monster would not only be a painful death, but you would also become a skeleton to be used by others after death.

Any fool knows how to choose.

Moreover, although the warlord's sword is very sharp, my spear is just as good!

It's like everyone has a weapon!

If you can kill me, I can kill you too.

Killing the warlord is much easier than foolishly charging into a monster!
