Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

However, to their surprise, Kitagawa Yu did not intend to use speed as a trick to win this time.

Only by fully revealing his power that would leave everyone in despair could he better subdue Ren. At the same time, having finally reached Lv5, he was also very curious about just how powerful Ryujin Jakka really was.

Therefore, at the same time that Lian activated the True Immortal Transformation, he also activated the Initial Release.

"All things in the universe return to dust, and the flowing blade is like fire!"

The violent spiritual pressure was like an invisible giant hand, directly leveling the surrounding mountains, stone palaces, and even causing the earth to crack like a spider web, sinking several meters under the pressure of this powerful spiritual pressure.

At this moment, the energy fluctuations emanating from Kitagawa Yu once again surpassed those of Ren after her transformation, and were dozens of times greater.

This completely stunned Lian, who had just been full of confidence.

Chapter 239 Cutting out the roots

Without time to hesitate, Lian quickly waved her feather fan, taking the initiative and throwing out more than a dozen invisible energy blades that shot towards Kitagawa Yu.

Compared to the energy spheres that Zhu Jin and the others fired when they attacked, these energy blades were much more condensed and their power was at least several times greater. This alone showed that Lian's martial arts skills were far superior to those of Zhu Jin and the others.

However, Kitagawa Yu remained motionless, showing no intention of dodging.

"Remnant Fire Sword!"

With the Bankai activated, the already terrifying spiritual pressure surged even more dramatically, many times over.

The next second, the energy blade that Ren unleashed with all her might couldn't even get close to Kitagawa Yu before it was shattered into pieces by the powerful spiritual pressure.

"My God! The energy within Master's body is too immense! I feel that Master's energy fluctuations are hundreds of times stronger than Lord Lian's. Could Master be an old monster who has cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years?" Peach Blossom couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and at the same time, she involuntarily led Plum and the others to retreat again.

There was nothing they could do. Even though they were more than a thousand meters apart, after Kitagawa Yu activated his Bankai, they were still overwhelmed by the powerful spiritual pressure and couldn't even stand up straight.

Ren, who was closest to Kitagawa Yu, couldn't even back down. Her knees shattered with a cracking sound, and she couldn't help but kneel down, bracing herself with her hands.

"So I'm already this strong?" Kitagawa Yu was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then couldn't help but feel bored.

He hadn't even made a move yet, and his opponent was already defeated. How could he possibly unleash his full power like that?

"Alright, it seems there's no need to continue fighting, right? Tell me your choice, Ren!" Kitagawa Yu shook his head, looked at Ren, and said calmly.

The spiritual pressure released by the Zanka Blade was slightly reduced under his control, transforming into a huge ring of fire that hovered behind him, making him appear like a god.

"I surrender!"

Lian hesitated for only a moment before making the wisest choice.

To reiterate, she lived only to resurrect Xu Fu. In the original story, after learning that there was no hope of Xu Fu's resurrection, she even gave up her long life and invincible power and committed suicide. Therefore, Kitagawa Yuya was not surprised.

Then, Ren was the first to deactivate his True Immortal Transformation and return to his normal form, while Kitagawa Yu also deactivated his Bankai and withdrew his powerful spiritual pressure.

"Go pack your things, take everything you can, especially the door gods, the kitchen god, and the poisonous insects, then come back to Japan with me and conquer Japan."

Upon hearing this, Lian's eyes showed a look of realization, and then she respectfully replied, "Yes, Master."

Over the past two thousand years, Lian has researched and developed many valuable things, and these are definitely things she will take with her.

Kitagawa Yu left her to clean up on her own, and even returned Xu Fu's body to him. Then, he led Zhu Jin and the others ahead, and with the help of the door gods and poisonous insects, they found Azazuki Heibei and Yamada Asaemon Kirima, who had already broken into the abbot's area.

"grandmaster?!"

"What are you doing here? Who are these people?"

When Kirima saw Kitagawa Yu and his group suddenly appear, he was startled at first. Then, his right hand subconsciously pressed the hilt of his sword, and he asked in a low voice with a wary look on his face. He looked guilty.

Kitagawa Yu didn't speak immediately, but instead looked at Azazuki Heibei while recalling his character settings.

Among the prisoners chosen to go to the island in search of the elixir of immortality, Azazuki Heibei was not the most vicious of them all.

But if we're talking about who's least likely to be won over, then aside from the protagonist, Hakumaru, who just wants to retire early and settle down with his wife and kids, it would be Azazukibei.

This guy has the air of a ruthless hero, as well as arrogance and self-importance. He would rather die than be subordinate to anyone, which is why he became a bandit king and, through his own wisdom and strength, became the largest bandit force among all the bandit groups in Japan, and was revered as the 'King of Bandits'.

However, as the saying goes, "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down," and he was eventually captured by powerful figures sent by the shogunate. He was then chosen to search for the elixir of immortality for the shogun.

If that were all, Kitagawa Yu wouldn't care too much about him.

In reality, Azazuki possesses a special physique that can be described as 'super adaptability'. Whether it's the venom of poisonous insects, the flesh and blood of the hearth god, or the most bizarre parasitic flower, his body can adapt to it and quickly devour and absorb its power, making his body stronger.

At first, he struggled to even defeat a single Kitchen God, but after consuming the Kitchen God's flesh and blood to enhance his strength, he possessed power approaching that of Huameimaru. In the original storyline, he killed Chrysanthemum in her battle state several times. In the end, due to excessive injuries and exhaustion, he was finally defeated by Chrysanthemum.

Later, chrysanthemum, unaware of his special constitution, threw him directly into the parasitic flower, intending for the flower to absorb his flesh and blood as nourishment. However, Azazuki Heibei instead devoured the parasitic flower, becoming even stronger. Even without mastering the attack of ki, his enhanced body allowed him to fight to a draw with a Celestial who had activated the Demon Corpse Dissolution state, and even gain a slight advantage.

He could ignore an ordinary, ambitious bandit king, but he couldn't ignore a bandit king with great potential, rapid growth, and a high ceiling of strength.

"Go to hell!"

Whether sensing Kitagawa Yu's murderous intent or not, Azazuki suddenly launched an attack on Kitagawa Yu without warning.

"elder brother--"

Kirima instinctively gasped in surprise, then his expression changed rapidly before he drew his sword and charged towards Kitagawa Yu.

Although he didn't know why Azadōbei suddenly made a move, he had gotten used to following Azadōbei.

Seeing this, Kitagawa Yu shook his head secretly, no longer hesitating, and summoned Ryujin Jakka, severing the giant axe in Azazuki Heibei's hand with a single strike, then directly unleashing the power of fire, turning Azazuki Heibei into ashes.

Even with his exceptional adaptability to this special constitution, Azazukibei was clearly doomed.

"elder brother?!"

Kirima was completely terrified when he saw this.

Although he had excellent swordsmanship talent, he passed the Yamada family's examination in just three months, obtained the name 'Asaemon', and became a formal swordsman of the Yamada family.

However, his temperament was not good. Due to the excessive protection of Azazuki, he was not only timid but also indecisive. When he saw his brother, whom he revered like a god, die tragically at the hands of Kitagawa Yu in an instant, his first reaction was not anger or hatred, but extreme fear. He even almost lost his grip on the knife in his hand.

However, one must nip it in the bud, especially since Kirima was a bandit and his motives for infiltrating the Yamada family were not pure, so Kitagawa Yu did not intend to let him go.

"puff--"

With a single slash, Kirima's head was severed from his body, and flames erupted again, turning his corpse and Azazukibei's body to ashes.

Next, Kitagawa Yu had Zhu Jin lead the way and found Yamada Asaemon Fuchi and the 'Eight Provinces Peerless Sword Dragon' Minaya Gentetsai, whom he was in charge of.

In terms of direct combat strength alone, 'Eight Provinces Peerless Sword Dragon' Minaya Gentetsai is actually stronger than Yamada Asaemon Suketomo. Among the prisoners who came to the island this time, he is second only to Hakumeimaru, and even stronger than Azazuki Heibei who did not consume the parasitic flower.

However, he doesn't have any special physical constitution.

Not long after arriving on the island, he was accidentally stung on his left hand by a human-faced butterfly with poisonous thorns. To save his life, he had to cut off his left hand. Although the impact was not significant, he still lost some of his combat power.

However, after that, his and Yamada Asaemon's luck suddenly improved a lot. They only encountered a few scattered kitchen gods and door gods before successfully passing through Yingzhou and Fangzhang and arriving at the border area between Fangzhang and Penglai. Their speed was actually the fastest among all the groups.

"Chess Master? What are you doing here? Who are they? Where are the prisoners you're supervising?"

Despite his usual cold and unsmiling demeanor, Fu Zhi is surprisingly talkative. Upon seeing Kitagawa Yu and the others who suddenly blocked their way, he launched into a barrage of questions without any expression.

However, unlike Kirima before, Fu Zhi did not show any wariness, only some doubt.

In fact, the Yamada family, as an execution clan ostracized by outsiders, is quite united, except for the second-in-command who is always unhappy with Wei Shan, who is the head of the family.

"The prisoner I was supervising was killed by the Eyebrow Pill under Zuoqie's supervision as soon as he arrived. However, I was also very interested in the elixir of immortality on this island, so I did not quit and chose to continue to go deeper."

"I won't go into detail since you know Gang."

"As for them, they were the owners of this island, and I have now subdued them."

Fu Zhihe and Yan Tiezhai showed surprise upon hearing this.

"The owner of this island? The one who created those giant monsters in the forest before?"

"That's right. Among those monsters, those without intelligence are called 'Kitchen Gods,' and those with intelligence are called 'Door Gods.' They are all puppets created by the celestial beings."

"So, does that mean you've already obtained the elixir of immortality?" Fu Zhi asked.

"I suppose so. This elixir of immortality is not quite the same as the one the general wanted, but it should be enough to get by."

"So, who do you plan to give the pardon you got to? This female ninja?"

"Yes."

Fu Zhi was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said directly, "I think Yan Tiezhai from Mingu is more deserving of a pardon. Why don't we let the two of them duel and the winner get the pardon certificate?"

“I think this is a good idea.” Minamoto Gentetsu grinned, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.

However, Kitagawa Yu glanced at him indifferently and decisively refused, saying, "Although I don't think you will lose to Yu, let's forget about the duel. Yu has already pledged allegiance to me, so the pardon I received is naturally for her to use."

Fu Zhi was taken aback for a moment.

"Loyalty?" Fu Zhi frowned and said, "Female ninjas cannot be trusted."

Before Kitagawa Yu could even speak, Gang couldn't help but say, "Hey, how can you discriminate against us female ninjas like that! Why can't we female ninjas be trusted! Master is so powerful and so handsome, how could I possibly betray Master~"

"."

Hearing Gang call her "Master" so affectionately, Fu Zhi's face immediately showed a speechless expression, and he asked curiously, "You wouldn't happen to have a crush on her, would you?"

"I guess so," Kitagawa Yu shrugged, readily admitting it.

This made Fu Zhiqing roll her eyes involuntarily, unsure of what to say.

At this moment, Kitagawa Yu continued, "However, if Minagawa Gentetsu is willing to submit to me, I can also guarantee his survival."

Upon hearing this, both Fu Zhihe and Yan Tiezhai showed expressions of surprise.

Although the Yamada family held a high position as the shogun's executioners, they might not be able to change the shogun's decision and persuade him to pardon such an important death row inmate.

And

"You want me to submit?" Minamoto Gentetsu, regaining his senses, raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

As a top swordsman whose swordsmanship was not much inferior to Wei Shan's, if he wanted to exchange loyalty for a chance to live, he would have done so long ago.

In fact, after he was arrested, many powerful families tried to recruit him.

However, he had always looked down on those high-ranking officials and nobles, so he had never agreed.

The Yamada family, as executioners of the Shogun, had an even worse reputation. How could he possibly be loyal to such a guy?

"Should we refuse?" Kitagawa Yu frowned. "Then it seems we have no choice but to execute you."

"Haha," Minamoto Yantetsai grinned, his mustache twitching, "Want to execute me? That depends on your strength! Defeat you, kill that female ninja and the other prisoners, and I'll still get a pardon and my freedom!"

After saying that, Minagawa Gentetsu shouted and rushed forward, launching a slash at Kitagawa Yu.

This strike was astonishing in terms of speed, power, and momentum. If it had been the former chess master, he might have been cut in two with a single sword strike.

Therefore, when Fu Zhi saw Mingu Yan Tiezhai suddenly make a move, his expression changed, and he immediately drew his sword, trying to stop him.
