Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 36

Thanks to the enhanced physique of Xia Yan from the Lunaria race in the One Piece world, although his body cannot contract like rubber, its flexibility far exceeds the limits of the human body.

It can be said that it can swing the sword with all its might from any angle and with any movement.

A fixed stance can actually limit his moves.

Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, Beimingyu Xingming began to spin the meteor hammer he was holding at high speed.

"Well then, please excuse me, and be sure to be careful."

This is his consistent fighting style.

The high-speed rotating hammer generates echoes and abnormal airflow, which can then be used to determine the enemy's location and movements.

Although he is blind, his other senses are exceptionally sharp.

He can sense the movement of air through his skin and locate himself by sound waves like a bat. He is practically a human radar, and the fact that he has no eyes does not affect his combat ability at all.

thump—

The next second, Himejima Gyomei's figure disappeared from the spot.

Despite his enormous size, his speed was surprisingly fast.

After all, the speed of running in a straight line is inseparable from human strength, and the ability to wield a weapon weighing over 300 pounds with ease demonstrates the terrifying power of Himejima Gyomei, enough to shatter ordinary people's understanding of the limits of human strength.

Faced with the heavy blow from Himejima Gyomei, Natsuhiko did not choose to confront him head-on as he did with Kocho Kanae.

It wasn't that he lacked confidence in his own strength. In fact, although they hadn't compared, Xia Yan was confident enough that he could surpass Himejima Gyomei in strength.

However, the weapon in his hand was, after all, a knife.

He must be out of his mind to smash a knife against a hammer and axe.

No matter how skilled Xia Yan is, he can never change the fact that a knife cannot go head-to-head with a hammer or axe.

He didn't want to carry his broken sword to Hotaru Hideaki to have it reforged.

It wasn't that I was afraid of being chased by Hotaru Haganezuka with a kitchen knife.

After all, he can't outrun himself.

He just boasted yesterday that he was the strongest swordsman and that he would make his sword the strongest sword.

The next day, Xia Yan broke the knife; he couldn't bear the embarrassment.

So he decided to change his attack strategy.

In his previous sparring match with Kanae Kocho, although he used offense instead of defense, he was primarily defensive and did not take the initiative to attack.

This time, Xia Yan launched a relentless, storm-like attack, keeping Himejima Gyoumei busy defending and unable to launch an attack himself!

Chapter 71 Xia Yan, when will you become the Demon Slayer Corps number one?

With Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the three pillars of Oto, Mizu, and Hana, as well as the one who had not yet become the Flame Pillar, as witnesses, the two fought for nearly half an hour before a winner was decided.

Xia Yan also got his wish and obtained the right to hunt demons anywhere he wanted.

In order to maintain timely contact with Natsuhiko, Kagaya Ubuyashiki also provided him with ten Kasugai crows, forming a Kasugai crow messenger squad with dozens of crows under Kikuko's leadership.

The lord can convey instructions to Xia Yan at any time and communicate with him in a timely manner.

Actually, I was afraid he might accidentally die somewhere and no one would know, so I assigned a few more ravens to keep watch.

"Oh dear, this is getting a bit troublesome..."

Looking at the Nichirin Blade in his hand, which was full of nicks and chips, Natsuhiko rubbed his hair in distress.

Standing next to him, Himejima Gyomei looked at the hammer and axe in his hands, as well as the pieces of iron chain scattered on the ground, and silently uttered "Namo Amitabha Buddha".

Xia Yan's knife eventually broke.

Although it did not break or shatter, the blade edge was still covered with nicks and chips.

However, he also successfully defeated Himejima Gyomei, winning the sparring match and becoming the undisputed strongest member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

I imagine that Hotaru Haganezuka wouldn't blame him too much after learning this news.

I guess so……

Thinking of the fact that the other party had chased Tanjiro with two kitchen knives all night, Xia Yan couldn't help but feel a chill.

When the time comes, I'll have Hotaru Haganezuka deliver the sword to the Butterfly Mansion and have Kanae Kocho receive it for me. I can also personally go and tell Grandpa Jigoro Kuwashima that I've become a Pillar.

This is definitely not about hiding from Hotaru Haganezuka; it's simply that I felt the good news should be shared with my family in person.

He had to admit that he had somewhat underestimated the strength of the Stone Pillar.

More accurately, it somewhat overlooked the characteristics of Rock Breathing.

Xia Yan did indeed do just as he had initially envisioned, transforming his attacks into an endless raging storm.

And Gyomei Himejima was indeed suppressed by his attacks and could only barely defend.

He was even almost taken away by Xia Yan in one fell swoop.

However, unlike Kanae Kocho, who sparred with Gyomei Himejima to test his sword skills, Gyomei Himejima sparred with Natsuhiko.

After realizing that the situation was turning unfavorable, he decisively used the sword form that comes with the Rock Breathing technique.

The characteristic of Rock Breathing is having overwhelming power, making the body as indestructible as rock, and primarily attacking enemies with heavy weapons.

Most other breathing techniques are accompanied by various fancy special effects.

In comparison, the Breath of Rock seems too simple, with no special effects, and it only attacks the enemy with extremely exaggerated pure physical attacks.

However, each strike unleashes a destructive force powerful enough to shatter the earth.

It can be said to be a breathing technique that integrates offense and defense without any weaknesses.

If Xia Yan defends by countering attacks with attacks, then Himejima Gyomei can cause damage simply by defending.

The two heavy weapons were spun rapidly by the iron chains, creating an effect akin to setting up an iron barrier.

At the same time, because the barrier is rotating at high speed, anything it touches will be bounced away by a terrifying force. Xia Yan is quite certain that if any blind ghost were to attack at this time, it would be a great disaster.

They'd probably be strangled alive and turned into dumpling filling.

Based solely on his exceptional skill, Xia Yan would call him the strongest.

Fortunately, Xia Yan was still a cut above the rest, accurately discerning the position of the chain as it rotated using his Byakugan.

Then, using "Storm Breathing - Land Form - Mysterious Wind - Azure Dragon," he cut the chain connecting the hammer and axe into pieces, destroying the opponent's Nichirin Blade and achieving final victory.

Facing the all-out attack of Flower Pillar Butterfly Kanae, Natsuhiko was able to defeat her without even needing to use his breathing technique's sword form.

In the battle against Himejima Gyomei, one must even use breathing techniques and the Transparent World to win, which of course also involves compatibility issues.

This shows that Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Pillar, is in a class of his own among the Pillars.

Even if he is not as strong as the Twelve Demon Moons of Upper Moon Three or higher, he is still capable of defeating the rest of the Twelve Demon Moons in a one-on-one battle.

After the two finished their match, Kagaya Ubuyashiki and his group came over.

"It's finally over. What a magnificent competition! You two almost turned this entire mountain upside down."

"I never expected that even the ridiculously strong Screaming Island would fail. As expected, Xia Yan's style is far more dazzling! So dazzling that I'm even a little jealous..."

With his hands behind his head, Uzui Tengen said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Another unfathomable person has appeared in his eyes, but the thought that Xia Yan will soon be active as a supporter makes him feel much more at ease.

It seems that I'm one step closer to stepping down from my leading role.

At his lord's urging, Uzui Tengen broke away from his past life as a ninja, which helped him find his direction in life, so he joined the Demon Slayer Corps.

But the memories of his deadness kept attacking him relentlessly.

In order to completely sever ties between Uzui Tengen and his past, his wife made a promise with him: after defeating an Upper Moon demon together, they would retire to the sidelines.

To achieve this goal, his wives, even though they hadn't joined the Demon Slayer Corps, continued to work tirelessly for it.

After collecting all the chains on the ground, Himejima Gyomei, who was standing nearby, also came over.

"Ah, Narukami Light, you are indeed very strong. It's so touching to see a child like you fighting for the cause of the Demon Slayer Corps!"

"If you're going to be moved, then don't shed those dramatic tears! Hey!"

"Ah, such a young child, yet constantly growing stronger in the struggle against demons, how tragic, Namo Amitabha..."

"Congratulations, Xia Yan-kun." Kanae Kocho also walked over, her eyes filled with amazement as she looked at Xia Yan. "I didn't expect you to be this strong. Now I can rest assured."

"Of course! I've said before that I'm very strong!"

Xia Yan accepted all the praise without hesitation, then turned his gaze to Tomioka Giyuu, who was hiding to the side without saying a word.

Under his compelling gaze, Yi Yong, with his messy hair, reluctantly walked over.

After carefully organizing his thoughts, he said, "I didn't expect you to defeat Beiming Island. Well done."

With just one sentence, he directly provoked the two pillars, and it must be said that he is very talented in sarcasm.

The hunter's potion melts instantly upon entering the mouth.

However, considering his polio-like language skills, Xia Yan reluctantly took it as a compliment.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at this harmonious and loving scene and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Chapter 72 The Sword Pillar's strength is indeed extraordinary.

Two weeks later, in Momoyama.

Looking at Hotaru Hitsugaya, who was wearing a straw hat with wind chimes on her head and carrying a box containing swords on her back, Natsuhiko broke out in a cold sweat.

He never expected that Hotaru Haganezuka would actually catch up with him.

She clearly told Kanae Butterfly to put the knife away for her first, and that she would retrieve it from the Butterfly Mansion later.

Damn it, did Kanae betray us too?!

However, he doesn't seem very angry, at least he's not holding the kitchen knife he made himself.

They probably just came to deliver the knife.

After all, I am now recognized as the strongest Pillar in the Demon Slayer Corps, so I should be considered to have fulfilled my promise to him.
