Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"Shirogane Miyuki, Sesshomaru, those two bastards, let them be arrogant. One day, we will revive Lord Shinra, and that will be their death day."

Chunlan, Xialan, Qiulan, and Donglan, the four leopard cat generals, looked up at the battle from fifty years ago, gritting their teeth.

540. A Deadly Romantic Encounter

"When Jaken led Shirogane Miyuki to Sesshomaru and explained the situation, Sesshomaru's expression changed slightly."

"Shirogane Miyuki is also an older brother, so although he doesn't have the insightful eyes of Hikigaya Hachiman, he can keenly sense Sesshomaru's feelings for Inuyasha."

"After all, he loves his younger sister Xiao Gui. He has experienced all kinds of feelings that an older brother has for his younger brother and sister."

"On Sesshomaru's face, Shirogane Miyuki found an expression of 'anger at his lack of ambition and pity for his misfortune,' an expression that only an older brother who has feelings for his younger brother would show."

"However, Sesshomaru's brotherly affection for Inuyasha seemed to gradually fade away amidst his displeasure at Inuyasha's lack of ambition."

"Although it was forced and he didn't want to, it was indeed a shameful and disappointing thing for his brother that Inuyasha was sealed away and unable to come to help at this time."

"Inuyasha's sealing was orchestrated by a demon; it was a conspiracy," Shirogane Miyuki tried his best to salvage Inuyasha's reputation. "Besides, if he hadn't been sealed, he would definitely have come to help you, his older brother."

Sesshomaru, with his white hair, remained noncommittal, offering no opinion, only letting out a soft snort as he gazed into the distance, lost in thought.

"Unlike Inuyasha, who is casual in his dealings with others, Sesshomaru is not only very handsome, but also very elegant and noble in every move, like a proud young nobleman. His clothes are also incredibly dashing."

"If it weren't for his immense and powerful demonic energy, Shirogane Miyuki would have truly thought that Sesshomaru was a noble young master from some great aristocratic family."

"In terms of personal strength, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are worlds apart. The latter is much weaker than his brother and can only barely match Sesshomaru in strength by relying on the powerful weapon Tessaiga."

"However, relying on the strength of external things is definitely not as good as being strong yourself, and there will be limitations in many situations."

"Wow, that's impressive." Impressed by Sesshomaru's immense power, Shirogane Miyuki looked around, then his expression froze.

"Most of the demons around us who obey Sesshomaru's orders are not very good. Their strength is basically at the level of a small-time demon or an ordinary demon. Only a very few are quite strong."

"Releasing them out of the way isn't to say they're too weak to be used, but the problem is that, according to intelligence, all the monsters in the Leopard Cat clan are elite... If you put monsters of their level against an elite army, the outcome is predictable."

"..."

"Sesshomaru froze, sensing Shirogane Miyuki's hesitation behind him. His face flushed slightly with embarrassment at his incompetent subordinates."

"Shirogane Miyuki didn't use this opportunity to make fun of them. He simply looked at Sesshomaru and solemnly promised, 'I will protect them to the best of my ability.'"

"..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Sesshomaru's eyes. He didn't say anything, but just nodded almost imperceptibly.

In the wild, Wolf Wilderness was a monster whose strength was not very good in the war fifty years ago, as designated by Shirogane Miyuki. Wolf Wilderness covered his face in shame.

"Waaah, we really have let down Lord Toga. We really embarrassed Lord Sesshomaru back then."

Fifty years ago, not only did Inu no Taisho die, but most of his capable and highly skilled lieutenants, who had fought alongside him throughout his life, were also dead, leaving very few remaining.

The remaining group were mostly incompetent and timid.

This was precisely why Shirogane Miyuki saw that Sesshomaru's subordinates were all of questionable quality.

Sesshomaru himself has enough power to subdue a group of powerful wild demons as his subordinates, but he has no interest in the power to subdue others and create an empire.

The reason he stood up to resist the invasion of the leopard cat clan was simply to defend his father's glory, not because he had any desire for the kingdom or anything like that.

He originally planned to fight the Leopard Cat Clan alone, but it was the former subordinates of the Dog General, such as Wolf, who took the initiative to jump out, kneel down and beg to join his subordinates. Only out of respect for his father did Sesshomaru agree.

Although he never thought that these people could be of any help when he took in Wolf and his subordinates fifty years ago, Sesshomaru never expected that this matter would become a stain on his reputation fifty years later.

Humans and demons who are unaware of the inside story would surely assume that Sesshomaru's strength or charisma were insufficient, which is why his subordinates were a bunch of rotten pigs and dogs.

The whole world is probably laughing at Sesshomaru now.

Jaken had thought of what Sesshomaru had thought of as well. His face turned a deep shade of liver with rage, and he jumped up and down in fury: "Damn it, these damned things! Hmph, they've smeared Lord Sesshomaru's honor!"

"Shut up, you heretic."

After Sesshomaru figured this out, he wasn't angry. Instead, a cold, bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips, and he seemed quite intrigued.

If there are any fools who underestimate Sesshomaru because of this, then let them come at me.

The long-awaited massacre might be a good experience—watching his good-for-nothing younger brother get ambushed, and watching Shirogane Miyuki, whom he somewhat approves of, struggle with various troubles.

Sesshomaru was also quite unhappy.

"The war has begun."

"Among the four great generals of the Leopard Cat Clan, the strongest, Dong Lan, is a woman with powerful demonic energy and the ability to freeze. The second strongest is Qiu Lan, who is male, with great physical strength and is skilled in using lightning attacks."

"Neither of these two demons could defeat Sesshomaru in a one-on-one fight, but when they joined forces, their teamwork allowed them to fight Sesshomaru to a standstill in a short time, and the battle was fierce."

"The two generals have temporarily held off Sesshomaru, while the other two generals are preparing to harvest the rotten fish and shrimp like Wolfman."

"Both Chunlan and Xialan are women. Chunlan herself is not very strong, but she has techniques for dealing with groups, such as clones, illusions, and intoxicating incense, which are very effective on the battlefield."

"Xia Lan's demonic power is not as strong as Qiu Lan's and Dong Lan's, but it is stronger than Chun Lan's. She is very skilled in fire and her fire attacks have a wide range."

"As two people skilled in area-of-effect attacks, they should have swiftly and decisively dealt with the monsters like Wolf Wilder. However, Shirogane Miyuki did not hesitate at all. He took out a large number of talismans he had prepared before the battle from his pocket and scattered them at the two of them like petals in the sky."

"These talismans combined to form an instantaneous barrier, protecting the still-shaken wolves and rendering Chunlan and Xialan's attacks ineffective."

Xia Lan, with her red hair, grinned maliciously: "Although I don't know where this blind mage came from, since you dare to oppose our Leopard Cat clan, we'll twist your head off just like Sesshomaru!"

541. Within my body flows the blood of ten thousand demons.

"Normally, Shirogane Miyuki wouldn't be able to stop these two, but he has a clever plan—it involves knowledge of talismans."

"Unless it is a being with powerful spiritual energy, the talismans drawn by normal sorcerers have a limited lifespan. The spiritual energy will dissipate over time and cannot be stored for too long."

"Therefore, many monks and nuns who participate in processions draw several talismans for future use, and then draw new ones when they are needed."

"Something like Kikyo sealing Inuyasha with an arrow for fifty years is something only a priestess with profound spiritual power can do. If it were an ordinary priestess, even if she sealed Inuyasha while he was weak, she couldn't possibly keep him trapped for fifty years. At most, the spiritual power on the arrow would dissipate in a few months and would no longer be able to hold Inuyasha."

"Therefore, once you see a seal that has lasted for decades or even hundreds of years, you can know that the person who set up the seal was definitely a master."

"Ordinary mages don't prepare a lot of talismans because the spiritual power of the talismans will dissipate, but Shirogane Miyuki is different. He knows that no matter how many talismans he draws, they will be used in the upcoming battle and won't be left until the spiritual power dissipates."

"So in the days leading up to the war, Shirogane Miyuki was frantically spending his spiritual power and energy to create a large number of talismans and make ample preparations for the war."

"As for his lack of spiritual power and energy, Sesshomaru sent Jaken to collect a lot of rare and precious materials to replenish his blood and body, and generously gave them to Shirogane Miyuki."

"It is only because both sides trust each other and do their best that we are now able to fight two powerful monsters on our own."

"That's wishful thinking. Even if you could do it, I wouldn't surrender so easily."

"With a flick of his sleeve, Bai Yinyu sent talismans flying everywhere, once again forcing Xia Lan to retreat. In the midst of this fierce battle, he deeply felt the power he had gained through two years of arduous training."

"This ability to protect himself is wonderful. It gave him a feeling of having worked hard at Shuchiin Academy and achieved the highest score in the exam, surpassing Kaguya Shinomiya."

Xia Lan's expression grew increasingly furious. She roared and charged forward again, "Damn it... Chun Lan, cover me!"

"Chunlan immediately used her clone technique to touch the talismans that formed the protective net. She used the demonic energy of her clone to arouse the spiritual power of the talisman paper, turning it into a piece of waste paper and creating a gap."

"Xia Lan took the opportunity to break through this protective net and quickly arrived at Bai Yin Yuxing's side."

"The wolf-like creatures were so frightened that they wanted to help Shirogane Miyuki, but with the gap in the protective net, the remaining elite monsters of the leopard cat clan seized the opportunity and charged at them, leaving them unable to defend themselves."

Xia Lan quickly approached, her sharp fingers whistling through the air, about to viciously tear apart Bai Yin Yuxing's neck. Startled, Bai Yin Yuxing didn't have time to stretch out his arms and scatter the remaining talismans.

"He simply raised his hand and stuck all the talismans to his neck."

"Under the protection of the talisman, Xia Lan's arm went numb from the spiritual energy, and her movements slowed down. Shirogane Yuki quickly retreated, putting distance between himself and this powerful, fast, and agile demon."

He touched his neck... Although his neck was still there, it was still broken and bleeding a little, but fortunately the blood vessels were not ruptured.

"Shirogane Miyuki pasted all the remaining talismans all over his body. Only by doing this could he possess the element that Xia Lan would be wary of in close combat; otherwise, he could have his head taken away at any moment."

At this moment, Shirogane Yuuki greatly envied the martial arts and staff of the monk Miroku. If he had the same level of close combat skills as the monk Miroku, he wouldn't have been so easily forced into a life-or-death situation by Xia Lan.

Xia Lan flicked her hand, glancing at Chun Lan who was strolling over to join forces with her. She grinned maliciously, already foreseeing Bai Yin Yuxing's demise. "Stay arrogant, mage?"

"Shirogane Miyuki took a deep breath, clenched his fists fearlessly, and focused on dealing with the two attackers."

"Chest, buttocks, genitals... After realizing that Xia Lan and Chun Lan had a normal sense of shame in close combat, Shirogane Yuki, who was below, had no choice but to attack these parts of their bodies."

"As a result, the two, who were unwilling to be taken advantage of, slowed down their attack and devoted some energy to protecting their privacy, which made them a little flustered."

"The two panicked, and because of the numbness caused by the talisman, they were accidentally struck in the chest by Shirogane Miyuki."

"Shirogane Miyuki deeply regretted this, because if he had known that the attack would hit, he wouldn't have aimed for their chests, but instead would have seized the opportunity to rip out their hearts and finish them off."

"This is the result of his lack of practical experience."

"But Shirogane Yuki missed his chance. Chunlan and Xialan, who had already realized what was happening, didn't. Both of them, feeling ashamed and angry, attacked at the same time, sending Shirogane Yuki flying more than ten meters away, leaving him with two bloody holes in his body."

"Just as they were about to go a step further and kill Shirogane Miyuki completely, a whip containing immense demonic power lashed out, wounding both of them in one strike."

"Chunlan and Natsulan turned their heads and saw that Sesshomaru had actually broken through the blockade of Akilan and Toulan, defeated the two strongest generals of the Leopard Cat Clan, and come to provide support."

""…retreat! ""

"The heavily injured Donglan coughed up blood. She didn't expect Sesshomaru to be so powerful, and that he also had Shirogane Miyuki as an ally to hold back her two younger sisters. This time, their Leopard Cat Clan has failed."

"Haru and Natsumi both glared at the half-dead Shirogane Miyuki with hatred, wanting to kill him. However, Sesshomaru was already close by, so the two had no choice but to remember the humiliation Shirogane Miyuki had inflicted on them and retreat with their elite troops."

"Your life will remain here for now. Sooner or later, I will have your head, mage!!"

"Shirogane Miyuki could no longer hear Xia Lan's threats; he was somewhat buzzing."

"Sesshomaru did not pursue the Leopard Cat Clan because not only was Fuyuran injured, but he was also injured; blood was flowing from his arm."

Sesshomaru moved to the side of the heavily injured Miyuki Shirogane and remained silent for a moment. He could sense that Miyuki Shirogane had consumed the blood of some demon to become stronger, which gave him some kind of resistance.

"In other words, consuming Sesshomaru's blood now will not be corroded by the excessively powerful demonic energy. On the contrary, with the help of Sesshomaru's own will, Shirogane Miyuki can use the energy contained in his blood to repair some of his injuries."

""Oh……""

"The elegant young nobleman revealed a slight smile, and without hesitation, raised his hand, letting the blood flowing from his wound fall into Shirogane Miyuki's mouth."

"On the battlefield where the curtain fell, as the sun set, Sesshomaru and Miyuki Shirogane quietly merged together."

542. Within my body flows the blood of ten thousand demons.

"Tsk!"

The humiliating scene from fifty years ago was brought up again, and the hot-tempered Xia Lan immediately clicked her tongue and kicked it away. The demonic power was stronger than it was fifty years ago, and it sent the surrounding rocks flying.

"That guy is a real bastard!"
