Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 167 Breaking in

In reality, the bird suddenly opened its eyes.

His pupils were bloodshot, and the originally transparent Fullbring membrane shattered under the pressure the moment he opened his eyes, turning into countless crystalline fragments that vanished.

The old man's Fullbring technique did not complete perfectly as expected.

The bird could feel a very uncomfortable force surging within its body.

"Is it because of this pattern...?"

"9

Having absorbed a large amount of twisted power, the membrane that should have covered him actually solidified on the bird's skin into a special existence resembling black patterns.

His spiritual pressure was "deeply locked inside his body" by this pattern.

From a spiritual perspective, Asuka appears to be an ordinary person with absolutely no spiritual pressure.

It is even more ethereal than ordinary people, like a lifeless stone or a gentle breeze that poses no threat.

"This feeling..." Asuka clenched her fist, feeling the crisp cracking sound of her knuckles. "Never mind, we'll deal with the rest later."

Inside the mansion, the old man in black robes had already fainted from exhaustion.

Feiniao bowed slightly to the unconscious body, feeling embarrassed, and then rushed outside to check on the outside world, which was clearly not quite right.

Kisuke Urahara, holding the Red Princess in his hand, stood floating in the air with a livid face.

The crimson ribbons danced wildly in the malicious wind.

More and more mutated Hollows, drawn by the abnormal spiritual pressure, are slowly wriggling out of the shadows.

"It seems that old man Matou's Fullbring technique was very successful." Urahara shattered the mutated Hollow with a sword, and only after turning around did he notice Asuka's presence: "But Asuka-kun... these guests don't seem to be planning to give us any breathing room."

roar-!

With a piercing roar, several more mutated Void creatures suddenly leaped down.

"Robbery!"

Asuka let out a low shout and released the Zanpakuto wrapped in cloth on her back, causing the ground beneath her feet to crack instantly.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared on the head of a mutated Void.

Swish-!

A simple, unadorned horizontal slash.

The movement was swift and clean, without the slightest unnecessary tremor, precisely slicing into the neck of the mutated Void covered in bone armor.

However, the feeling of the blade cutting into flesh was unusually strange.

It didn't feel like a strike to a spirit or a body; it was more like cutting into a lump of extremely resilient mud.

The creature let out a painful wail, and black mucus gushed out from the wound, forming tendrils that tried to forcibly stitch the wound shut.

"Are you Muzan?" Asuka sneered, and using the momentum of her horizontal slash, she unleashed an upward slash imbued with surging spiritual pressure!

boom-!!

The powerful physical strength combined with the explosive spiritual pressure slash directly blasted that twisted body into fragments.

The next moment, the residue mixed with slime was completely devoured by the monstrous spiritual pressure.

【vomit!!!】

In his mental world, the white wolf let out an unbearable vomiting sound.

[Kid! If you let me eat another bite of this, I'm going on strike right now!!!]

...What's going on? Even the thief can't stand this? Asuka frowned.

Kisuke Urahara's figure appeared and disappeared among the Hollows, his Benihime drawing elegant, blood-red arcs like a conductor's baton.

Several red light nets intertwined in mid-air, locking the three ferocious mutated phantoms within.

"These guys aren't ordinary Hollows. They've merged with the mutated energy here, giving them extremely strong regenerative abilities." He used Benihime's explosion and high-level Kido to inefficiently eliminate these troublesome creatures.

"If we don't sever their connection with this place, our strength will eventually be exhausted."

Urahara landed beside Asuka, his gaze fixed intently on the Hollows.

The bird slowly raised its head and turned its gaze to the sky shrouded in dark clouds.

In his clear spiritual vision, behind each mutated Void, there was a faintly visible, extremely thin, dark red thread.

These threads, densely packed together, eventually converge and point towards the higher and deeper heavens.

"Up there," the bird said in a low voice, pointing the raccoon dog towards the sky. "Behind those clouds, there's a massive array, and it's alive..."

"A formation?" Urahara also looked up at the sky.

Aside from the suffocating feeling of oppression, all he could see were swirling clouds formed by abnormal spiritual pressure.

"...Although I don't know how you figured it out, Asuka-kun, your intuition must be the answer."

Urahara pulled down his hat brim, his expression becoming more solemn than ever before: "If we can't stop it, even if we only interfere with the operation of that formation, these voids will be like an endless tide, until they submerge this place."

"What a terrible spiritual disaster... Why hasn't the Soul Court sent anyone yet?" He shook his head helplessly.

The bird gripped its knife tightly: "I can see it, but it's in the sky, beyond my reach."

Upon hearing this, Urahara once again swung his sword to trap several Hollows, then leaped into the air and floated high above.

He searched around and eventually set his sights on a landmark building in the distance of the city.

"Since we can't reach it, let's find a fulcrum that we can touch it." He pointed to the arch of the Fuyuki City Bridge in the distance: "That's not only the intersection of the city's ley lines, but also the highest point of this land."

"Let's go, if we stay any longer, I don't know what Fuyuki City will become."

Kisuke Urahara flashed, and Benihime once again unleashed a powerful red glow.

Several crimson spirit bullets exploded violently, forcibly tearing a gap in the dense swarm of voids.

Without the slightest hesitation, the bird took a step and rushed out through the gap.

The streets of Fuyuki City were already in complete chaos.

The once-brilliant neon lights flickered and emitted a piercing electrical sound due to malicious erosion.

Along both sides of the street, vehicles and buildings corroded by black slime can be seen everywhere, and most ordinary people do not understand what has happened.

As they approached the bridge, the density of the mutated voids continued to increase.

"Get out of here!"

The bird roared angrily.

A mutated Void creature, climbing between buildings like a spider, was attempting a sneak attack from the side, but was slammed into the wall by a clean and decisive whip kick from Asuka.

He didn't stop; there was no point in fighting these things. He had to find a way to solve the problem at its source.

However, he also discovered some unusual circumstances.

Whenever he used his slaying technique to cut the invisible red lines that stretched from the mutated phantoms and connected to the sky, even if their masks weren't shattered, they would instantly fall to the ground.

Like a puppet that has lost its power, it has temporarily lost its ability to attack.

"How did you do that?" Urahara, who couldn't see the red line, naturally didn't understand and asked curiously.

"They have a connection to that magic circle; just sever it."

"This is truly remarkable... Don't let those die-hards in Soul Society see this feeling of severing cause and effect, or they'll see you as an anomaly even more dangerous than Hollows."

"Let's talk about that later!" Asuka leaped up from the telephone pole.

Beyond the many obstacles, the magnificent steel arch bridge spanning the town of Fukayama and the new capital can be seen in the distance.

However, an unexpected scene unfolded before his eyes.

At the entrance to the bridge, dozens of Shinigami dressed in Shinigami uniforms were huddled back-to-back in a defensive formation.

Beyond the vast crowd, the bird spotted that person at a glance.

His pupils shrank to pinpoints. Because of his sudden, forceful clenching, the leopard thought he was about to fight to the death and immediately activated the Crimson Blade.

"Shinobu! What are you doing here?!"
