The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 100 The Boy in My Heart (13)

Kuroda Nobunaga woke up from the bed, gasping for breath, his eyes bloodshot. He turned on the bedside lamp and took out a crushed talisman from his pajamas pocket. He didn't know if it was because he had just woken up from a dream, but he could still feel a faint breath coming from the talisman. He was just pulled back by this talisman.

Feeling the rustling sound coming from the bedside, Mrs. Kuroda rubbed her eyes, turned around and asked, "Husband, what's wrong? Where are you going?"

Kuroda Nobunaga had already changed his clothes, and with a firmness in his eyes that was unfamiliar to him, he replied, "I have to go out for a while."

"It's so late, what's the matter? Can't we do it tomorrow?" asked the wife.

"It's something that must be done." Kuroda Nobunaga turned around and smiled gently at his wife: "Wait for me to come back, okay?"

Mrs. Kuroda inexplicably felt that this time, Nobunaga Kuroda was very different. She couldn't help but reply, "...Please be careful when you go out. I will be waiting for you at home."

Kuroda Nobunaga nodded, took out a key from the drawer and walked out.

With a loud bang, just before Qian Xiaoyi hit the wall hard, a dazzling golden light came out of his body, and then there was the sound of something shattering. He still crashed into it, but this time was different from the past. He saw stars and almost couldn't breathe in his chest. There was a faint smell of blood in his throat.

"Cough cough cough..." Qian Xiaoyi got up from the ground with a dry cough. His back was aching so much that he almost screamed. He didn't know if he had broken any bones or something. Fortunately, because of the braking method that Kuroda Nobunaga taught him before he left, a large part of the inertia was reduced, so he was not knocked unconscious directly.

"You actually dared to let him go... How dare you? How... dare..." The Night Ghost Tiger's scarlet eyes trembled rapidly, as if it was furious to the extreme, and the words coming out of its mouth were incoherent. Its black hair was baring its fangs and claws, and in its big mouth, countless arms holding scissors were snapping.

"Have you lost your mind because of the departure of the main body?" Qian Xiaoyi raised his eyebrows. This news was actually good news for him. An irrational enemy would definitely be easier to deal with than a cunning enemy.

So Qian Xiaoyi took advantage of the Night Ghost Tiger's anger and reached out to touch the bag. Then, he was stunned.

——There were only a few talismans left in the bag, and because he had not anticipated such an extremely dangerous situation, he did not bring any other offensive magic tools.

Qian Xiaoyi looked up at the Night Ghost Tiger and said with a grin, "This is bad..."

"Die!" The Night Ghost Tiger roared and slapped down with its palm. Qian Xiaoyi rolled to the side of the road to dodge, and took out the ink line to print two black lines on the ground. But then something even worse happened. The road with the black lines began to twist. The straight black lines immediately twisted like a worm, which was extremely ugly.

"It's Granny Turbine! It swallowed Granny Turbine and gained the power to distort the environment!" Qian Xiaoyi cursed, "Targeting you, right? The formation and the stepping magic are useless. Are you going to let me play with you or not?"

The Night Ghost Tiger had no sense to argue with him and pounced directly at Qian Xiaoyi. In desperation, Qian Xiaoyi had no choice but to spread out the ink line for defense. The Night Ghost Tiger slapped the ink line with its claws, and Qian Xiaoyi flew far away like a cannonball.

Qian Xiaoyi was lying on the ground, feeling very uncomfortable after being beaten. He felt that his amulet seemed to be scrapped again, so he wanted to take out another one from his bag to activate it. But it was too late. A gust of fishy wind passed by, and the Night Ghost Tiger had already arrived in front of him, raised its claws, and slapped him.

"Brother Yi, catch it!" Inuyama Heita appeared breathlessly and threw an object towards Qian Xiaoyi from not far away.

The thing was spinning in the air and Qian Xiaoyi caught it with his hand. Without thinking much, he tried to use it to block the attack of the Night Ghost Tiger like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

With a bang, a red light flashed, and there seemed to be a shock wave in the air. Qian Xiaoyi shouted loudly and swung the weapon in his hand vigorously, and actually hit the claw of the Night Ghost Tiger back. The Night Ghost Tiger screamed and retreated a long distance. Its claw was cut and black mucus flowed out.

While the Night Ghost Tiger was licking its wounds, Qian Xiaoyi looked at the copper coin sword in his hand and nodded, then turned around and said, "That guy swallowed the Turbo Granny. If we don't defeat him, we can't get out of the ghost realm with our real body in it. Give me a rearview mirror, then go away and don't get in the way here!" "Here." Ajian was ready. He gave his rearview mirror to Qian Xiaoyi, then hurriedly left with Inuyama Heita. Staying here would only distract Qian Xiaoyi, so it would be better to leave fighting demons to professionals.

Qian Xiaoyi exhaled, put the rearview mirror into his bag, bit his middle finger, chanted a spell and smeared his blood on the blade of the copper coin sword. The copper coin sword suddenly glowed red. Qian Xiaoyi made a spell with his left hand, held the copper coin sword in his right hand, and said to the Night Ghost Tiger: "Come on, second round!"

……

The headlights illuminated the dark road ahead. Kuroda Nobunaga, holding a cigarette in his mouth, drove the truck intently on the road that stretched forward. There were very few cars on this road at night, giving him enough time to recall the past. When he was young, he was full of vigor and thought that the whole world was his stage to show off. He couldn't wait to prove something to others and gain praise and envy. At that time, he had happiness, freedom, and a group of like-minded companions to accompany him without having to care about other people's eyes. At that time, he was happy.

But at some point, everything changed. His friends gradually left him, and his former ambitions were gradually worn away. He only had a way to survive, without poetry and distant places, because those things would only make life more difficult. He got married, had children, and his favorite Angry Tiger Maru was put in the garage. In its place, he bought a second-hand truck with a loan, which he has been driving for more than ten years.

The invisible rules around him made him feel suffocated. He should mature, he should grow up, he should do this, he should do that...

——He doesn’t want that!

So he was in pain, and in order to stop suffering, he chose to abandon his own shape and let the rules twist and compress him into a completely sociable person, so that he would not care about the things that made him suffer.

But now, someone has told him through his actions that doing so is not growth, but escape and a complete admission of defeat.

“Before doing something, one must be prepared to bear the consequences. It turns out that this is what I lack…” Kuroda Nobunaga looked at the light in the tunnel ahead, threw the cigarette butt out of the window, and murmured, “Then, let me go crazy again.

"One last time."

At the entrance of Jiuma Tunnel, Guiwei leaned against a stone pillar, looking up at the stars in the sky with boredom, scratching the mosquito bites from time to time. Suddenly, he heard the sound of vehicles approaching here, so Guiwei sat up in surprise. It was not the sound of a motorcycle, but a car. How could there be a car coming here so late? It was too strange.

He stood up and looked in that direction, only to see a truck heading towards the tunnel with no sign of stopping.

"Could it be that we've taken the wrong path? There are clearly cones and warning signs at the intersection." He quickly came to the center of the tunnel, waved his hands and shouted, "Hey! Stop, this is an abandoned tunnel, the road ahead is blocked! Don't go any further!"

Unexpectedly, the car didn't stop at all. A very familiar face stuck out of the car window and shouted at him, "Shi, get out of my way!"

"Nobunaga?!" Kameo quickly moved aside. The truck didn't even show any sign of slowing down as it roared past him, leaving Kameo completely confused.

After entering the tunnel, Kuroda Nobunaga stepped on the accelerator, causing the truck to accelerate continuously.

He shouted frantically, "Awakening? Then let me show you my awareness! A young boy, actually lecturing others in such an arrogant tone, who do you think I am! I am..."

The terminal wall of the Jiuma Tunnel appeared in Nobunaga Kuroda's eyes. He drove the truck towards the wall and roared:
"I am... the Tiger of Night Demon Niku! Kuroda Nobunaga!!!"

boom! ! !
——The darkness shattered, and bright light shone into the tunnel. A small truck broke through the wall and slammed into the Night Ghost Tiger!
