Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 39

Seeing that the two were clearly about to fight, Xia Yan also became interested.

He said in a sarcastic tone:

"Oh dear, I can't stand it anymore. Girl, he's clearly looking down on you. This is blatant provocation!"

"My rare blood is unique; once it's lost, it can never be found again."

Under Xia Yan's instigation, the Handball Demon instantly lost his mind.

"Damn it! This is my territory, and this rare blood is my prey. I won't give you a single drop. Get out of here!"

The temari demon roared and threw the temari ball in its hand toward the arrow demon, but the arrow demon calmly stretched out its hand, its eyeball looking at the fast-moving temari ball, and then suddenly closed its eyes.

A red arrow appeared out of thin air, guiding the direction of Temari.

The next second, Temari, which was originally flying towards him, suddenly changed direction and shot towards the Handball Demon's face instead.

Temari whistled through the air, its power evident in the sound alone. Had the Temari not caught it in time, he would have lost at least half his head.

"Give up. Your abilities are too limited. You can't possibly beat me."

Seeing that his bouncing temari ball was caught by the Handball Demon, the Arrow Demon remained calm, seemingly confident of victory.

Indeed, it was just as he said.

Although the temari thrown by the Temari Demon is incredibly powerful, it can only attack in a straight line. With training, even an ordinary person can easily dodge it.

Furthermore, his Blood Demon Art allows him to manipulate the direction of objects at will, making it a very effective counter to the Blood Demon Art of the Handball Demon.

As Arrow Demon's neighbor, Handball Demon naturally knew all this. Although she could see the arrows, she was completely helpless against those damned arrows.

Thinking about this, she hesitated for a moment.

"Don't give up, young lady. If you beat him, I'll give you my rare blood."

Seeing that the handball demon seemed to be backing down, Xia Yan quickly said something with a slightly tempting tone.

"Really!?"

"Oh, really. A person who doesn't keep their word is a dog."

Seeing that the handball ghost actually believed it, Xia Yan said with a smile.

To be honest, his deceptive tactics, which barely qualify as persuasion, are clearly designed to fool the gullible handball player.

In essence, it's similar to tricking a little girl with a lollipop.

But the handball devil actually fell for his tricks, and was instantly energized by Xia Yan's encouragement.

Since Blood Demon Art is countered, why not just not use it?

At worst, we'll just fight hand-to-hand. We're all ghosts, so who's afraid of who?

Thinking of this, Handball Demon leaped forward and charged towards Arrow Demon.

It must be said that although her thinking was extremely naive, she still had some fighting talent. Her wild punches actually managed to temporarily suppress Arrow Ghost.

"Tch! You've got dust all over my clothes, they're filthy!!"

Arrow Demon roared, aimed the two eyes on its hands at Handball Demon, and suddenly closed its eyes.

A red arrow appeared directly on the handball ghost, sending her flying. She bounced repeatedly against the walls of the alley before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Are you an idiot? Why would you listen to a human?!"

"Do you really think that just because you beat me he'll obediently let you eat him? No way! Use your brain!"

The handball ghost lying on the ground paused for a moment after hearing the arrow ghost's angry rebuke, and its eyes became clear.

Yeah, why should I listen to a human?

Ugh, my head is so itchy, I feel like it's growing a brain.

Seeing that the Handball Demon had started to think about the problem, the Arrow Demon continued, "Instead of the two of us fighting each other, we should first control that rare-blooded human, and then discuss who should eat him."

"At worst, we can each have half. If we hold out until dawn and he gets away, neither of us will get any."

Perhaps because he had realized that even the Handball Demon wasn't so easy to deal with, the Arrow Demon chose to back down.

After all, given Xia Yan's special rare blood constitution, even eating only half of it would be a huge boost for him.

If consuming normal rare blood is equivalent to consuming a hundred people for a demon's improvement, then Xia Yan's physique would be equivalent to consuming a thousand people. Even if it's only half, it would still be a full five hundred people.

This is just a conservative estimate; the actual improvement should be much greater.

Thinking of this, Arrow Demon's originally arrogant face also showed a hint of smugness.

"You need to learn to use your brain and think, don't act like a fool!"

"Wow, so you're saying you're very smart?"

Xia Yan's somewhat amused voice came from behind Arrow Ghost.

"Of course, I am..."

Arrow Ghost suddenly froze halfway through his sentence.

This voice...

It's that rare blood!

But wasn't he just at the end of the alley? When did he run up behind me?

In just a moment, he traversed such a long distance, so fast that even he couldn't react...

Could it be that the rare bloodline is actually incredibly powerful?

Arrow Ghost was thinking about it somewhat belatedly.

Before he could even come up with an answer, a sharp, agonizing pain, as if his neck were being ripped apart, shot through him, and the next second his head was lifted into the air.

Their normally prized regenerative abilities are now completely useless.

"Have you ever heard the saying that people who are too smart don't live long?"

Before the Arrow Demon's consciousness dissipated, only one sentence echoed in its ears.

Chapter Seventy-Six: There is Only One Way to Go

"Alright! Since we'll split it in half, let's work together to take down that demon hunter!"

Handball Ghost got up from the ground, casually dusted off his clothes, and said energetically.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the Arrow Demon's head fall to the ground, turning into ashes with a face full of despair.

Xia Yan stood behind Arrow Demon, slowly sheathing his Nichirin Blade and looking at her with a kind gaze.

“——！！？”

In that instant, the Handball Demon felt as if she were being watched by some extremely terrifying being. Under the influence of fear, her whole body trembled slightly, and her hands and feet began to move uncontrollably.

This was the first time in my memory that I had felt such a pure fear of death.

It was as if I was no longer a high and mighty man-eating demon, but a live fish placed on a chopping board about to be made into sashimi.

Not struggling means death, but struggling will only make the death more painful.

"Alright, Miss Ghost, the troublemaker has been chased away. Let's continue our game."

With a gentle smile on his face, Xia Yan walked towards the stunned Handball Ghost.

Meanwhile, a mental storm was raging in the mind of the handball-wielding girl.

I can't beat that annoying arrow demon that came to steal food from my territory.

The Arrow Demon was just instantly killed by the Demon Hunter with rare blood.

Demon Hunter > Arrow Demon > Self.

That is to say...

Even I would be instantly killed by a demon slayer with rare blood!?

Thinking of this, the Handball Demon's cross-shaped pupils, which resembled those of Naruto in Six Paths, instantly shrank to the size of pinholes.

"Qiu... Qiu Dou Ma Dai!! You stay right there and don't come any closer!"

"Huh? Why?"

Although he was asking questions, Xia Yan didn't stop walking.

He continued walking towards the handball ghost at a moderate pace.

He would naturally not listen to a ghost giving him orders.

Even if the one speaking is a female ghost whose appearance and figure meet his aesthetic standards, he's not as stupid as the Handball Ghost.

You can be easily fooled by just a few words.

The handball demon, with a timid expression, said, "If you come any closer... if you come any closer... I'm going to get angry!!"

As he spoke, the Handball Demon retreated at the same speed as Xia Yan, and the two of them remained relatively still.

Overwhelmed by fear, the Handball Demon withdrew from its attack mode, reverting from a muscular Barbie to a sporty young woman, looking rather pitiful.

"You really are like a child. I'm ready to kill you, why would I be afraid of making you angry?"

Xia Yan said with amusement, while also finding the girl's naiveté somewhat unbelievable.

When I first met this handball enthusiast, she was playing ball with other children like a child.

And the happy smile on his face was clearly not faked.

It's likely that she was just a child when she was turned into a ghost, which explains why she has maintained that mental state for so many years.

Although Xia Yan was initially located deep in the alley, after killing Arrow Demon, their positions were reversed, and Xia Yan became the one blocking the alley entrance.

To maintain distance, the handball ghost could only keep retreating deeper into the alley.

They were quickly cornered, with no room to retreat.

Feeling the cold wall behind him, the handball demon, with nowhere left to retreat, said in a voice tinged with a sob:

Why did you want to kill me?

"Why? Ghosts eat people, so it's normal for people to kill ghosts, isn't it?"
