Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 272

When exerting force, it possesses a hardness comparable to steel, but at this moment it is as soft as cotton candy, making you want to roll around on it.

The lines are even more stunning; the soft, white skin gleams under the moonlight, and the slightly plump legs are a pair of beautiful legs that one could admire for a lifetime without ever getting tired of them.

Just as the two were praising each other and agreeing to travel together sometime, a beautifully crafted teapot, which looked expensive and had elaborate patterns, rolled over from somewhere.

Then, a pale white, abstract, and bizarre humanoid figure slowly emerged from the pot.

The design of this human figure undoubtedly takes the word "abstract" to its extreme.

It is entirely white, with yellow eyes, green lips, and purple fins on its head.

The mouth is located where the eyes are, and the eyes are located on the forehead and mouth. The muscular upper body has no arms; instead, several small arms grow from the head and other parts of the body, which can be said to be completely devoid of beauty.

The lower body remains connected to the teapot, and it's unclear what its condition is like when it's inside the teapot.

More importantly, the words "upper moon" and "five" are clearly written in the two eyes, one vertical and one horizontal, one above and one below.

It is the fifth waxing moon, Jade Pot!

Xia Yan naturally recognized Yu Hu, and Yu Hu obviously recognized Xia Yan, who had participated in and killed three Upper Moon demons, two of whom were ranked above him.

Neither of them made a move, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air as their eyes met.

Xia Yan was curious as to why he dared to appear so openly in front of him.

At this moment, Yu Hu was filled with a myriad of thoughts, and her mind was trembling.

What the hell was wrong with me? Why did I have to show my face and check my surroundings at this moment? Why am I so unlucky? I just wanted to find the sword-forging village, but I ran into this killer instead!?

It must be impossible to fight!

The second and third waxing moons are the best proof of this.

If the Upper Moons hadn't suffered heavy losses, which greatly angered Muzan, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to find the Swordsmith Village, hoping to help Muzan calm down.

The sword-forging village was found, but the problem was that there was an Upper Moon assassin inside!

However, running away is not an option either. Even if he is an Upper Moon demon, if he encounters Xia Yan, Muzan's greatest threat, and flees without a fight, he will inevitably be punished upon his return.

This left Yu Hu in a dilemma.

What should we do?! It looks like Mai is climbing up Sakurajima!

"Huh!? This is... Natsuhiko-kun, an Upper Moon demon! And an Upper Moon Four demon at that!!"

Kanroji Mitsuri's exclamation broke the stalemate.

In exchange,

It was a chilling killing intent.

Clang——

The sound of a sword being drawn suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

The sword flashed down instantly, leaving a dazzling trail of light in the air, giving no one a chance to react.

An overly rapid strike can create the illusion that the speed is actually quite slow.

It's like an electric fan that's clearly spinning rapidly, but when viewed by the human eye, it creates the illusion of slowly reversing.

This strange illusion will give the target a feeling of being cut in space and time, making it impossible for them to accurately judge Xia Yan's attack. By the time they realize what is happening, they have already been hit.

"Storm Breathing - First Form - Divine Speed"

pat-

The half-skull with fish fins and the words "upper crescent" fell to the ground, turning into ashes and slowly dissipating.

Not far away, a jade pot with half its head missing emerged from another white, patterned pot.

'So close!!! Just a tiny bit more!!!'

'Even though my teleportation is the fastest of all demons, almost without warning, I still almost got my head chopped off!?'

'If I hadn't been completely focused on him, I probably would have been dead already!'

Just how fast is this guy's sword?!

'Absolutely not a match for them!'

Touching the newly regenerated head, Yu Hu's abstract, ugly face was filled with lingering fear.

But the next moment, the words that came out of Xia Yan's mouth caused his expression to change instantly.

Xia Yan scrutinized the jade pot left behind for a few moments, then kicked it aside with a look of disgust, stomping on it and chasing it around. "Hey, you ugly thing, can you please not litter when you run away? It's filthy..."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the pot, already covered in footprints and mud, crumbled into pieces on the ground.

"That's a magnificent work of art! This is a desecration of art, you aesthetically challenged monkey! You demon hunter bastards, are your heads made of muscles?!"

The rebuttal blurted out, veins bulging on his forehead. "Someone like you certainly wouldn't understand my art, but that's fine too!"

Clearly, both Xia Yan's actions and his evaluation of the pot made Yu Hu feel a burning sense of rationality, and he wished he could rush over and fight Xia Yan to the death.

Chapter 414 The Misfortune of a Certain Asymmetrical Teapot Shifted Eastward

Although she was furious, Yu Hu had no intention of attacking Xia Yan and continued to stare at him intently.

He was terrified that if he wasn't careful and didn't teleport in time, Xia Yan would cut off his head in one fell swoop.

"What? You're going to die soon anyway, why would you have time to worry about this pile of junk?"

Xia Yan brandished his Nichirin Blade, speaking in a flippant tone, "Besides, what kind of artwork is that pot of yours? It's completely distorted, totally asymmetrical, and the workmanship is terrible..."

Frankly speaking, regardless of whether that teapot qualifies as a work of art, judging solely from its craftsmanship and painted patterns, it is indeed a fine piece of art, and it would certainly fetch a good price if sold on the market.

It certainly isn't as useless as Xia Yan described.

Xia Yan was just deliberately trying to provoke him.

Knowing that the inviolability of art is Yu Hu's weakness, Xia Yan certainly wouldn't let it go.

After all, stirring up other people's emotions is one of his hobbies, and it's his main one.

"Your eyes are the ones that are rotten! You're just a teenager, what right do you have to judge my artwork!"

The jade pot, its heart pierced, roared with fury.

His response was the sword in Xia Yan's hand.

The same move, the stunning sword light was so dazzling that it made people overlook the only source of light, the bright moon hanging high in the sky!

whoosh-

Yu Hu left the pot where he had taken refuge once again, and ran to a tree not far away. Despite it being winter, cold sweat still dripped down his pale face.

He was clearly under immense pressure and was sweating profusely.

puff-

The sound of blood gushing out rang out.

A huge gash suddenly appeared on Yu Hu's neck, with only a thin layer of skin and flesh barely connecting it. Clearly, even with his special ability to teleport, he had not completely dodged that blow.

Wow, so fast! It's incredibly fast!

Touching the newly healed wound on her neck, Yu Hu's pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints, making even the characters etched on her eyeballs too small to be seen.

'This guy is even faster than before... no, I should say he wasn't serious before, he was just messing around!?'

'If I hadn't been completely focused, I'd be dead, you bastard!'

'No, but on the other hand, doesn't this also show that my concentration is excellent?! It seems my artistic skills have improved! Very good!'

'My next step is to figure out a way to escape from Muzan-sama without being punished by him!'

'Right! Didn't Hantengu come too?! How could we let him run into the village alone while I face this monster! Let's get him out of there. Hantengu is Upper Moon Four, he should be more important than me!'

'As the Upper Moon Four, isn't it only natural for me to fight stronger opponents?'

'If I just kill this woman and retreat, Lord Muzan probably won't punish me!'

As Yu Hu pondered what to do next, the eyes at the mouth of the pot tilted slightly upwards, as if she were smiling.

"Whoosh, Lord Xia Yan, I'm not the only Upper Moon demon who has come to the Sword Forging Village~" Several short arms grew out from both sides of Yu Hu's body, with four fingers protruding and waving back and forth.

"The Upper Moon Four is currently in the village. If you don't go back and check, this village may not exist for long!"

"It's alright, I can still go back after I kill you!" Xia Yan narrowed his eyes and assumed a stance as if he were about to draw his sword.

He naturally knew that the Lower Moon Four, Hantengu, was currently killing people in the village.

The moment he saw the jade pot, he activated his Byakugan, his vast field of vision allowing him to see the entire village clearly.

But he cannot leave this place.

After all, Kanroji Mitsuri is clearly no match for Gyokko now, and his swordsmith, Tektsuzuka, and the village chief with the highest skill in sword forging, Tetsuchi Kawara Tetsujin, are also here now.

For him, this place is clearly a higher priority!

After all, the village of sword forging was not as important to him as Mitsuri Kanroji.

"Natsuhiko-kun! Please go and save the people in the village first! Although I am not as strong as you, I am still the Love Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps!"

"If it's just about protecting Village Chief Tiezhen and Mr. Gangtiezuka, I can definitely hold out until you come back!"

Just as Xia Yan was about to kill Yu Hu first, Ganluji Mitsuri stepped forward...

As a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, although she is not yet mature, she is definitely not lacking in resolve!

Seeing the determined look in Kanroji Mitsuri's eyes and the pleading gaze of Village Chief Tetsujin, Xia Yan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"I understand, but all you need to do is stall for time. Don't think about attacking. You're no match for the Upper Moon Demon. Safety is the priority."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm looking forward to going to Kyoto with Xia Yanjun after we get back!" Kanroji Mitsuri reassured her energetically.

"..."

Xia Yan felt a lump in his throat at her seemingly reckless act of setting a goal.

But thinking that in this day and age, no one would understand even if he said it, he swallowed it back.

After all, Kanae Kocho was able to hold out against Doma until dawn, so with Mitsuri's strength, Gyokko won't be able to defeat her anytime soon.

Based on his understanding of Hantengu, as well as his Byakugan and the ability to observe the Transparent World, he estimated that the time it would take to deal with him would be shorter than the time it would take to travel.
