Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Although he was not injured, his physical strength had already reached its limit, and he was barely able to hold on before.

The survival rule on the battlefield is like that of a wild beast: never expose your weakness or vulnerability to the enemy until you die. Once you reveal a vulnerability, that is the moment of your death.

Of course, he wouldn't actually die.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan sat down on the snow without hesitation, adjusting his breathing to recover his strength.

Several hawks that had been circling around him were cawing loudly, shouting "Good news!" and "Great news!" as they flew at full speed towards the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters without regard for their own strength.

Meanwhile, Kyoto.

With a calm expression, Muzan added the medicine from the dropper to the test tube, gently shook the test tube, and observed the changes that occurred.

"Akaza is dead, and the Upper Moon Demon Moon is incomplete..."

His tone was unusually calm, making it impossible to discern his true feelings.

Of course, no one around him would try to guess his feelings.

Putting down the test tube, Muzan Kibutsuji picked up his notebook and recorded the drug's reactions and changes.

"What a waste! I never expected him to be defeated by a mere 'Pillar' of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Whatever, it doesn't matter anyway, I have no expectations for these good-for-nothings."

"only--"

boom--

A terrifying aura instantly filled the entire room.

The air was trembling.

This is by no means an exaggeration, because in that instant, all the glass objects in the entire basement shattered, and various colored chemicals flowed all over the floor.

"One hundred and eight years later, another Upper Moon has been killed. I am extremely unhappy!"

After venting his emotions, Muzan regained his composure once again.

It seems that the absence of the Upper Moon is just a trivial matter to him.

"Storm Pillar... Narukami Tsuki Natsuhiko...?"

Chapter Ninety-Three: A Great Change Unseen in a Century

"Mr. Xia Yan, are you alright?"

Seeing Xia Yan collapse to the ground, looking very exhausted, Zhu Shi quickly rushed over and knelt beside him to check his body.

After a full examination, it was found that apart from some exhaustion, there wasn't even a single bruise.

Well, the wounds I made when I bled myself before don't count.

"I never imagined... that you could kill Upper Moon Three all by yourself, without even suffering any harm..."

Tamayo resisted the urge to disinfect the almost healed wound on Natsuhiko's palm with her saliva again, and used her own body for support to help Natsuhiko up.

"Akaza has been following Muzan for hundreds of years, and at least a hundred Pillars must have died at his hands. I never thought he would die here in this way."

"Mr. Xia Yan is truly extraordinary."

Looking at the traces left by the battle around her, Tamayo sighed with a touch of melancholy.

Although she rarely interacted with the Demon Slayer Corps because of their excessive hostility towards demons, she still had some contact with the Ubuyashiki family.

As far as she knew, since its birth, Upper Moon 817 had never been killed in a one-on-one situation against a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Even the Twelve Ghost Months of this year have remained unchanged for over a hundred years.

This man, this arrogant man who took him away, named Narukami Natsuhiko, is probably the strongest human swordsman besides Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Moreover, he is only fourteen years old now and still has a lot of room for growth.

Perhaps with his help, I might actually be able to kill Muzan.

Thinking of this, Tamayo's gaze towards Natsuhiko held an added layer of dependence.

"Ha! Who do you think I am!?"

Despite his own disheveled state, Xia Yan remained in high spirits.

His earlier predictions were correct. Although it was somewhat difficult, he managed to kill Akaza without revealing his Ripple and immortality.

Although Akaza should ultimately be considered to have committed suicide.

But even though he's exhausted after the fight, if it really comes down to a head-on confrontation, he could still drag Akaza until the sun comes up and pin him to the ground to be baked alive.

However, there's a chance of getting hurt.

Having experienced this battle against Akaza, he estimates he would be able to defeat Doma more easily if he faced him.

No, it should be said that he could have defeated Doma much more easily.

After all, unlike Akaza who has a battle maniac personality, Doma is just a reckless brat. Who knows, he might be easily killed by me in one move because he underestimates me.

The night grew even deeper.

Although the Breath of Storms can also produce ripples, the ripples produced do not have the healing effect that normal ripples should have, and they cannot even relieve pain for oneself.

The difference between the two is like that one is a medical solution with disinfecting and sterilizing properties, while the other is a powerful disinfectant.

In order to speed up the recovery of his physical strength, Xia Yan did not continue to maintain the normal mode of "Storm Breathing", but switched to the Ripple Breathing method.

With Tamayo's help, she walked for more than ten minutes. Although she had not fully recovered her strength, her muscles were no longer sore thanks to the effect of the ripples.

The two quickened their pace and found a small town before dawn. They ordered a carpenter's box just like Tanjiro's, and after a short rest, they set off on their journey home again.

Meanwhile, at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

"I see! That kid defeated the Upper Moon all by himself!"

Upon learning of the death of Akaza, the third Lower Moon, from the Kasugai Crow, Kagaya Yoshinori's pale face instantly regained some color.

"Well done, Xia Yan!!!"

"We need to let everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps know this good news as soon as possible!!! Cough cough cough..."

Due to his excessive excitement, Kagaya Ubuyashiki coughed repeatedly.

Although children born to women of the Ubuyashiki and Shinto families can live to around thirty years old, that is only the theoretical maximum lifespan.

Most of the time, he is still only in his twenties.

Moreover, even if they manage to live to the age of thirty, they will suffer from the torment of the curse, making their lives worse than death. Therefore, most heads of the Ubuyashiki clan will relinquish their positions as leaders of the Demon Slayer Corps before that age, ending their lives prematurely.

Now, Kagaya Shiki is nearly nineteen years old, and it can be said that he doesn't have many years left to live. Tormented by the illness brought by the curse, a quarter of the skin on his face, starting from the left side of his forehead, has ulcerated.

His left eye has also gone completely blind, and his health is deteriorating day by day.

"Lord Yaoya..."

Seeing Kagaya Ubuyashiki coughing incessantly, the beautiful Mrs. Amane, who was taking care of him, worriedly supported him and gently patted his back to help him catch his breath.

"I'm fine, Tianyin! I'm just too excited!"

"A hundred years! The situation that had remained unchanged for a hundred years has now changed! Tianyin, do you understand? This is an auspicious sign! A great change is about to occur in destiny!"

"Kibutsuji Muzan, we will definitely destroy you in our generation, and erase this...the only stain on our clan!"

Yoshihara Yukaku.

In a brothel called "Kyogoku-ya," a woman named Daki, who goes by the alias Warabi-hime, is removing her makeup in front of a mirror, revealing a face that is breathtakingly beautiful even without makeup.

"It's dawn again, how annoying..."

While complaining, Daki was secretly calculating which other courtesans in the brothels had girls with decent looks, or courtesans who were about to be redeemed.

After all, as the second pickiest eater among the Upper Moon demons, her most hated foods are dirty old things and ugly monsters. In Daki's eyes, only beautiful women are worthy of being eaten by her.

But before her not-so-bright brain could even start working, the surrounding environment suddenly changed the next second.

What was once a dimly lit room that belonged only to her has been transformed into a brightly lit, twisted Japanese-style building with an indistinguishable top, bottom, left, and right structure.

Another dimension: Infinite City.

"Huh? Why was I suddenly summoned to the Infinite Castle!?"

Just then, a man with a face covered in black spots, skin and bones, ugly enough to look like a demon, slowly emerged from behind Daki.

"You know, after all these years, your brain still isn't quite as sharp as it used to be." The man spoke in a hoarse voice, but his tone was full of affection. "Since we're here, it means an Upper Moon demon has died at the hands of a demon slayer."

Chapter Ninety-Four: Do you want to share my surname?

"The Upper Moon demon... is it dead...?"

Upon hearing what her brother, Gyutaro, said, a hint of unease appeared on Daki's stunningly beautiful face.

The last time I came to Infinite City was more than a hundred years ago.

At that time, Lower Moon Six Doma launched a bloodbath to replace Upper Moon Two, defeating and consuming him, and taking his place.

At his recommendation, he and his sister were summoned by Lord Muzan, given blood, and appointed to take over the vacant position of Upper Moon Six.

This time, it's unknown which Upper Moon demon died, or who took his place.

With that thought in mind, Daki climbed onto Gyutaro's back, letting her brother carry her as they headed toward the center of the Infinite Castle.

Meanwhile, in the center of the Infinite City, a demon with six eyes on its face, a long sword at its waist, dressed as a samurai, looked up at the distorted origin of the Infinite City.

There sat a one-eyed female ghost holding a pipa.

Six eyes met one eye.

Despite the hair covering her face, Kokushibo could still clearly see the character '三' (three) etched on the female demon's enormous eyeball.

Kokushibo, who could easily see through the human body, knew that Nakime's strength made it impossible for her to initiate a positional blood battle.

Did Lord Muzan promote his attendant to Upper Moon Three?

and so……

"Akaza was killed by the Demon Slayer Corps!?"

Kokushibo was initially surprised, but then showed extreme displeasure.
