Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

"Right now! Tomioka!"

Taking advantage of your weakness to finish you off, Asuka wasn't going to wait for Doma to realize what had happened.

"Storm Breathing - First Form: Sky Rift!"

"Water Breathing - Eighth Form - Takitsubo!"

The two sprang into action instantly, their Nichirin Blades slashing down with a whooshing sound, a fierce gale carrying surging waves, launching a fatal blow against Doma, who was kneeling on the ground!

"Pfft... Wow, that's powerful... Even more potent than the poison used against Rui-kun's family..."

Despite coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, Doma still managed to glance at Shinobu Kocho with his bloodshot eyes and grotesque veins: "But I'm sorry... it seems I've neutralized the poison..."

Just before the blade touched his skin, Doma swiftly stepped back, dodging the attack, while simultaneously waving his golden fans!

"Blood Demon Art: Frozen Clouds!"

call--!

A thick cloud of ice mist suddenly erupted, completely enveloping the attack trajectories of Asuka and Giyu Tomioka!

This mist contains the blood of Douma, and every tiny ice crystal is imbued with powerful demonic energy.

If the two do not retreat, they will inhale the icy mist into their lungs through breathing techniques. Even if they do not die immediately, it will put a huge burden on their bodies and completely render them unable to fight!

Faced with this ghostly mist that resembled a ferocious living creature, Asuka dared not take any risks. So, she and Giyu Tomioka retreated simultaneously, waving their swords to disperse the mist.

"What a troublesome enemy," Asuka thought from the bottom of her heart.

If the opponent were a life-or-death struggle like Akaza, I wouldn't be so troubled. But instead, I keep using these large-scale, underhanded tricks to keep him restrained.

Should we try taking a deep breath and killing him quickly without breathing...?

No, if it fails, I'll still fall for his tricks when I try to change tactics.

He stroked the blade of the thief's sword, asking in his heart, "Can you hold on for me? A little pain is nothing, as long as the repair speed is faster than the fall."

There was no response from the thief, so he could only continue to look for an opportunity to strike.

Having distanced himself from Asuka and the others, Doma slowly stood up, the purplish-black marks from the poison on his face fading at a visible speed.

The seven-colored, crystal-clear eyes swept over the two frustrated individuals, finally settling on the woman with the butterfly hair ornament:

"Taking poison is really interesting, I feel like I'm getting addicted~ Why don't you try a different kind of poison? Maybe it will work."

Shinobu Kocho sheathed her Nichirin Blade, subtly turning it to replenish the poison in the syringe at the tip: "Is that so? I'll grant your wish. After all, I anticipated that Upper Moons wouldn't be so easily poisoned."

"Shinobu, don't let him provoke you." Seeing that Shinobu was about to lose her temper again, Asuka stood in front of her.

"Oh dear, have I been found out?" Tong Mo put the golden fans together and gently tapped his palm.

He looked at Asuka standing in front of Shinobu, his smile growing even brighter: "You must be the anomaly that lord is watching. I heard your sword can eat demons? How terrifying! I don't want to be eaten by you..."

With a light wave of his fan, two crystal-clear, pure ice sculptures of beautiful women materialized before him:

"Blood Demon Art: The Frosty White Princess... Oh, you can call her Snow Woman if you want, since that's what the locals call her~"

Seeing that Doma was about to launch his next attack, Asuka nodded to Giyu Tomioka beside her and quickly said, "Mr. Tomioka and I will lead the attack, while Shinobu will provide support when the opportunity arises. Remember, never engage in a direct confrontation!"

"Although he looks like he's about to die, he's an Upper Moon sword, so his strength won't be weak. Your sword can't withstand it."

"Hey, can you keep your voice down when you're talking badly about others?" Douma laughed as he commanded the ice-formed Yuki-onna to unleash a fierce frost storm in the direction of Asuka and the others!

These two ice and snow puppets can continuously create the freezing mist that freezes the lungs and internal organs in his place, and also allow him to deal with these swordsmen more easily.

"Hold your breath!" Asuka shouted, and the three of them scattered instantly.

"Haha, that's the kind of momentum I want! Blood Demon Art: Mandala Flower!"

Several enormous vines made of sharp ice crystals and covered with sharp barbs shot out from his outstretched fan!

With the combination of the Ice Lotus and the Frost Mist, Douma's offensive instantly covered the entire battlefield!

The difficulty of the battle exceeded expectations.

Asuka continuously used the wide-range slashes of Wind Breathing to shatter the ice lotuses for her two teammates and disperse the surrounding ice mist, allowing them to get close to Doma.

"Flowing Dance!"

Giyu Tomioka's Nichirin Blade slashed out with streaks of azure blue, sliding close to the gap created by Asuka's attack.

His swordplay was cold and efficient, without a single superfluous movement, and every move was aimed at Doma's vital points.

However, the opponent is, after all, Upper Moon Two, whose reaction speed and slashing power should not be underestimated.

The two fans danced in his hands like the wind, calmly parrying Giyu Tomioka's slashes, and even deflecting Shinobu Kocho's occasional attempts to sneak attack!

Faced with Asuka's occasional spiritual pressure slashes, he was as slippery as an eel, dodging whenever possible, clearly intending to leave Asuka for last.

The battle lasted only a dozen minutes, and the temperature in the courtyard had already dropped by tens of degrees.

Both Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho had frost on their eyebrows. Maintaining full concentration while in a restricted state for a long time had pushed their lungs to their limit.

Especially Shinobu Kocho.

Because the initial battle caused her to inhale a small amount of ice shards, her lungs began to ache slightly, and each breath she took carried a strong smell of blood.

No, we can't keep fighting like this! Asuka thought to herself that something was wrong.

He could sense that the evil spirit was deliberately using this extreme environment to wear down their life force...

This stalemate is pointless; it will only wear us down.

"Your alveoli are dying, you must be in a lot of pain breathing like this." Douma elegantly fanned himself with his golden fan, dodging another stab from Shinobu Kocho. "Actually, if you just stop breathing and accept my salvation, you won't be in pain anymore..."

"Shut up—!! Dragonfly Dance - Compound Eye Hexagon!"

"Oh my, what an intense gaze, like you want to devour me, petite Miss Zhu."

The slender Nichirin Blade transformed into a flurry of afterimages, and the wisteria venom tempered on the blade hissed in fury, increasing the speed of the thrusts by three times!

Bang bang bang! !

Several consecutive thrusts rang out, and Shinobu Kocho's figure transformed into a purple streak of light, landing on one side of the courtyard.

"Wow, that's fast. Among all the swordsmen I've encountered, you must be the fastest."

Several streaks of blood bloomed from Douma's body, and his face was once again covered with purplish-black toxins: "But unfortunately, it seems to be just that, isn't it? Your poison is starting to lose its effectiveness."

puff--!!

Blood splattered, blooming in a glaring crimson in the pale courtyard.

The golden fan in Doma's hand, gleaming with light, swept past Shinobu Kocho's chest and abdomen at an eerie angle the moment they clashed.

Even though Shinobu Kocho made a quick dodge, Doma still shattered her ribs in an instant and left a gruesome frostbite gash on her shoulder.

Shinobu's right shoulder was slashed open, and warm blood spurted out. She staggered and was about to fall to the ground!

"Tolerate--!!"

Seeing that Butterfly was seriously injured, Bird rushed to her rescue.

But Doma was still relentless, gathering several more ice spikes, preparing to pierce Shinobu's body directly:

"If you had used a decapitation strike instead of a stab, I might not have been able to react in time. What a pity~"

Om-!

An uncontrollable rage surged within him, and the bird felt as if it were burning up all over. Even the sub-zero temperatures could no longer affect its speed.

Whoosh! Clang clang!!

He teleported to Shinobu's side and shattered all the ice spikes at lightning speed.

Ice mist rushed into his lungs, and the sharp ice crystals cut through his airways, producing a low, heavy hum of breathing.

On his right cheek, a cluster of crimson spots, like a burning flame, was rapidly spreading, meandering beneath the skin.

Not only that, the raccoon, which originally emitted blue-green arcs of light, also began to flash with light and emit a hot hissing sound as his aura changed.

"...I was too cautious. I shouldn't have considered the physical strain from the beginning..."

The bird raised its head, a crimson streak of blood trickling down its nose, and half its face was covered in hideous markings, making it look like a demon.

"Upper Moon, you will die today."
