Crossover anime/manga, immediately transmigrated after death

"Her sword heart shattered. When the Honkai energy invaded her meridians, she was writhing on the ground in pain."

"Your father rushed forward to protect her, but was attacked by the Honkai energy. He bled from all seven orifices and knelt on the ground, unable to get up."

"The last thing your mother called out was your name."

"She hopes you will come back and save her."

"You don't."

A crack appeared in Li Sushang's sword heart.

A clear mind cannot tolerate even the slightest distraction.

This tiny crack, like a fine line on porcelain, was rapidly magnified by the high-speed movement of the sword.

The pseudo-Herrscher seized this opportunity.

boom!

A thick beam of Honkai energy shot out from its palm, heading straight for Li Sushang's face.

Li Sushang dodged to the side, the edge of the ray grazed her arm, instantly charring her clothes and leaving a burn mark on her skin.

She felt the pain, and her sword strike faltered.

Qiongqi seized the opportunity and opened its mouth to release another ball of light.

boom!

A figure shot into the sky from the ground. Zhang Yang shattered the ball of light with a punch, then stomped down hard, creating a sonic boom, and grabbed Qiongqi's forelimb.

Boom!

He forcefully pulled down the hundreds-of-meters-tall Emperor-class Honkai Beast, its massive body crashing down from mid-air, carving a long trench in the ground.

During the fall, Zhang Yang flipped over and landed on Qiongqi's head.

A crimson fire surged from his body, rising into a cloud of white steam in the rain. The rainwater within a radius of several hundred meters evaporated instantly, creating a vacuum zone around his body.

Qiongqi flapped its wings against the ground and dug into the soil with its claws, trying to throw him off.

Zhang Yang threw a punch.

Boom!

Qiongqi's head slammed heavily into the ground, creating a huge crater.

Li Sushang felt relieved and glanced behind her. Zhang Yang was riding on Qiongqi's head, punching it down again and again.

"Sword Demon, now I'm getting serious!"

The false Herrscher's voice echoed in her mind again, sharper than before: "Your mother's blood gushed from her throat, and she couldn't scream anymore. Your father knelt on the ground, his eyes already blind, and he reached out to feel around on the ground, trying to find your mother's hand..."

Li Sushang drew her sword and thrust it out.

The pseudo-Herrscher raised his hand, and Honkai energy condensed into a blackish-purple longsword in his palm, facing the attack head-on.

Clang!

The two swords clashed, sparks flying everywhere.

The pseudo-Herrscher flipped her left hand, her five fingers forming a claw, and the Honkai energy transformed into five sharp black rays that pierced straight into Li Sushang's heart.

Li Sushang did not block, but turned her "Ruoshui" sword and slashed diagonally at the neck of the fake law enforcer, forcing it to defend itself.

laugh!

The black light left three bloody marks on Li Sushang's ribs, but at the same time, a sword wound appeared on the pseudo-hero's neck.

The pseudo-Herrscher took a half step back to steady itself, raised its hand and made a grasping motion. All the raindrops falling in the downpour condensed above its head into countless purplish-black ice spikes, each as thick as an adult's arm, with a cold gleam at the tip.

Hundreds of ice spikes shot down.

shhhhh--

Instead of retreating, Li Sushang advanced, her Flying Swallow Skill drawing an arc in the air, passing through the gaps between the ice cones, and closing in to within three feet of the pseudo-lawbreaker.

With a flick of its wrist, the tip of the "Ruoshui" sword transformed into three cold stars, piercing the throat, heart, and dantian respectively.

The pseudo-Herrscher sidestepped the sword aimed at his throat and raised his hand to parry a sword aimed at his heart.

The third sword strike is aimed at the center of the dantian.

puff!

The sword tip pierced the flesh three-tenths of an inch. The pseudo-Herrscher let out a shriek and his body was violently pushed backward. Honkai energy exploded in his dantian, shaking the sword tip out.

The two continued to fight, and the surrounding Honkai energy trembled constantly.

The pseudo-Herrscher is just one of the thousand Herrschers. Now that there are only seven Keys of Control left, she only has seven clones. But the best vessel has been prepared. What does it matter if this body is severed now?

At this moment, Li Sushang was so eager for revenge that she disregarded her own life and death.

boom!

The fire suddenly exploded, and flames rose up, burning the huge Qiongqi to ashes.

Zhang Yang stood amidst the ashes, looking up at the sky.

Clang!

Ruoshui's sword light soared into the sky, its sword energy plunging into the clouds, slicing a narrow crack in the clouds.

The skeletal remains of the false Herrscher fell from the sky and crashed into the puddles on the ground, splashing water everywhere.

The downpour stopped for a moment, and sunlight streamed through the cracks, casting a warm golden beam into the courtyard.

Rain was still dripping from the eaves, but the sky was already clearing up.

Chapter 53 The goal is three generations living together.

Order was restored in the border town faster than expected.

Zhang Yang dragged out the surviving officials from the county government office and assigned them tasks one by one: counting the casualties, registering the losses, collecting the remains, and burying and burning them.

The government granaries were opened, soup kitchens were set up, and the wounded were gathered in the pharmacy in the east of the city, where they were cared for by the only two doctors left in the city.

Zhang Yang led a group of people, with red ribbons on their shoulders and brooms in their hands, to clean each house and provide health education.

An old official was standing nearby, reporting today's statistics.

"...Of the thirty-two households in the east of the city, seventeen were unanswered. The doors were broken down and the bodies were found to be dead. The whereabouts of the rest are unknown."

Zhang Yang didn't even look up, continuing to lead his men to maintain order. "Have the village heads of each ward compile a census of the population of their ward and submit it within three days. After that, you will temporarily assume the duties and send someone to the garrison to explain the situation, saying that it is a request from the Taixu Mountain sect."

The old official bowed and withdrew.

Li Sushang sat in the teahouse, a pot of cold tea in front of her. She peeled a peanut, threw it into her mouth, and chewed it.

This person is indeed quite formidable.

He's efficient when killing people, and he's equally efficient when dealing with these trivial matters.

Not some high-ranking "official," but someone who can actually get things done.

Zhang Yang walked over from the county government office and sat down opposite Li Sushang. He poured himself a cup of desolate tea, which he drank in 27 gulps. He then poured himself another cup.

"What are you looking at?"

"You seem quite busy," Li Sushang said, peeling another peanut. "You're very capable."

“Of course.” Zhang Yang leaned back in his chair. “Being an official is something you get used to after a couple of times. I worked in World Three for a month and got the hang of it.”

"Such things happen in World Three?"

"It's even bigger than this. What's a city? I'm running the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."

Li Sushang scoffed, but a slight smile curved her lips as she picked up the teapot and refilled Zhang Yang's empty cup.

The tea flowed into the cup, bringing with it a wisp of white steam.

"Does your arm still hurt?"

"It's much better after the medicine was applied." Li Sushang moved her wrist. "But your fire seal is quite effective. After burning it, most of the bruises around the wound have disappeared."

"Of course, the Crimson Emperor's power—flames can burn information, hiss—"

Li Sushang kicked him in the shin.

"Would it kill you to stop bragging a little?"

"Yes, I'll live off this mouth of mine for the rest of my life."

Li Sushang rolled her eyes.

The two sat there, chatting idly.

The old woman at the teahouse brought over another plate of osmanthus cake, saying, "Thank you for saving my life, hero."

Zhang Yang thanked him, picked up a piece, took a bite, and mumbled that it was alright.

Li Sushang also took a piece and ate it in small bites.

Why did you squat down when you were talking to those people?

Zhang Yang finished chewing the osmanthus cake in his mouth: "He was sitting and I was standing, so he had to look up at me. It's uncomfortable to talk with your head tilted back. If you're sitting and someone is standing and talking to you, you'll feel uncomfortable too."

"You still care about this?"

“It’s not that I care, it’s just a habit.” Zhang Yang stuffed the remaining half of the osmanthus cake into his mouth. “When you talk to someone, you have to make them feel comfortable so that they will be willing to listen to you.”

Li Sushang looked at him.

"You are a really interesting person."

"Do you want it...?"

"No."

"I haven't said it yet."

"I just don't want it."

Cheng Ling Shuang walked out from the street corner, stopped, and glanced at the atmosphere between Li Sushang and Zhang Yang.

"Finished flirting?"

Li Sushang paused for a moment while holding the teacup: "Master, do we look like we're flirting?"

"Now that you've finished talking, let's get down to business." Cheng Ling Shuang sat down on the empty stool next to her. "I've recalled the thousand-man Herrscher you mentioned, the inner demon in Xuan-Yuan Sword."

"I used that sword for more than ten years."

“I didn’t learn sword intent, I only learned sword heart. In the end, I learned sword god. On that night, my sword resonated on its own, and sword intent naturally formed.”

"I hesitated for a moment, but once the sword intent was achieved, I decided to resonate with the Xuanyuan Sword in my heart..."

"Now that I think about it, maybe it wasn't mine."

Li Sushang seemed to see the night the Seven Swords of Taixu killed their master. Her master hesitated when he thrust out the crucial sword, but then realized that the sword intent of the Xuanyuan Sword had been formed. He then believed that this was a resonance within his heart and thrust out the crucial sword, injuring his great-master.

Zhang Yang put down his teacup: "So you hate yourself?"

"Yes, I hate myself."

“You don’t have to bear this hatred alone.” Zhang Yang put down his teacup. “You are my woman, and I will share this burden with you.”

Cheng Ling Shuang stared at him for a long time: "So you really want to take your master into your family."

"puff--"

Li Sushang almost spat out the tea in her mouth.

"Master! How did you come to this conclusion!"

“He is determined to build a harem, but he doesn’t completely side with me. He’s on my side, so I suppose it’s for the sake of harmony in the harem.” Cheng Ling Shuang said calmly, “Your great-grandmother is very beautiful. Standing next to you, she looks like a sister. If you think about it, with my master, you, and me, it’s exactly three generations under one roof.”

"That's not how you use the phrase 'three generations under one roof'!" Li Sushang's face flushed red. "No! The key point is... Zhang Yang! Say something!"

"It's not impossible," Zhang Yang nodded.

"What do you mean by 'not that it's impossible'?"

Zhang Yang put down his teacup and forcefully changed the subject: "Alright, let's get down to business. The resurrection plan for the Thousand Herrschers has been brought forward, and they claim that the best vessel is ready."
