The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 191 The 13th Final Battle ()

"You're quite capable." The paper man sat on his shoulder, crossed his legs, and said, "But these evil spirits don't look like they can be trained by someone of your level, especially those three. Didn't you borrow them from others? Hiruda?"

There are several evil spirits surrounding Hiruda, including the puppet from before, but the most powerful ones are the three evil spirits guarding him. They are the evil spirit of a samurai wearing tattered armor, the evil spirit of an officer holding a Mauser pistol, and the evil spirit of a high school girl holding a utility knife. These three evil spirits exude a powerful aura that is unmatched by other evil spirits.

"Shut up! They are my servants! Mine!" Hiruda roared, "How long do you want to hide? Get out of here!"

The paper man said, "I know. Wait for me there. I will kill you right away! Just wait."

After saying this, the paper man became silent, just like an ordinary piece of paper.

But in fact, Qian Xiaoyi in the distance showed no signs of moving. He sat behind a tree with a tired look on his face, cross-legged. Beside him, the white fox was on guard, protecting him.

"Huh... Fortunately, I didn't attack him rashly, but tried to test him through those wild evil spirits first." Qian Xiaoyi thought silently: "That guy really has a trick up his sleeve. Those three evil spirits should be his trump cards. If I want to deal with them, the power of the Slit-Mouthed Woman is feasible, but I can't bear more resentment..."

Although cognitive magic can allow Qian Xiaoyi to transform into an evil spirit in the ghost realm and temporarily borrow the power of the Slit-Mouth Woman to absorb resentment from the surroundings for his own use, his personal spirit has its limits. Once that limit is exceeded, he will be swallowed up by the evil spirit's cognition and fall into the abyss. Therefore, he must exit that state every once in a while and wait until the negative cognition is eliminated before he can use it again.

"But it's weird... why would those three evil spirits listen to him?" Qian Xiaoyi pondered during the break. His previous words were not just mocking Hiruda. That guy's level as an exorcist was really average. No, it should be said that the level of all the exorcists in Tokyo was very average.

This is not a rare thing. People who come out to do exorcism business on their own, except for those who come from abroad, are basically family-based or folk sorcerers, so it is normal that most people's skills are not high. But the strange thing is...

——The average level of ghosts here is much higher, and the two sides are completely unequal. Logically speaking, this kind of metropolis is very popular and is not some remote, ignorant and feudal village, so this kind of situation should not occur.

This is not balanced at all. During this period of time, Qian Xiaoyi encountered many ghosts and evil spirits that made him feel very difficult to deal with. If he pulled out any powerful one, he might be able to wipe out this group of weaker colleagues. This is completely the opposite of the situation in China.

There are more monks than porridge in China now, and there are basically few powerful evil spirits, but there are a lot of masters. Although there is the influence of the competition between the cognitive school and the classical school in the last century, the average level of exorcists in Japan is too weak?
It's okay if he's weak, but there's also a tough guy like Ashiya Yoshisuke who can create an izakaya in the ghost realm. Qian Xiaoyi can't figure out his strength, which shows that the upper limit of the exorcists here is not low, and the inheritance should exist.

"In Hiruda's case, he must have inherited something by chance, but it's not complete." Qian Xiaoyi speculated, "Otherwise, it can't explain why he has such a powerful curse spirit. This means that this guy may have other tricks up his sleeve... Forget it, let's deal with the other sorcerers first and leave this guy alone for a while. He can't use those evil spirits without paying a price. The longer we delay, the lower the risk."

After making up his mind, Qian Xiaoyi stood up, took out the compass, and walked in another direction.

After a while, Hiruda, who had been waiting nervously for a long time, finally couldn't help it. He took the paper man off his shoulder and asked, "Hey! Where are you?! Speak!"

It took the paper man a long time to react and sneered, "Hehehehe... I'm already here, haven't you noticed? Die." "What?!" Hiruda broke out in a cold sweat and looked around nervously. The evil spirits around him became more and more ferocious.

But nothing happened. Hiruda yelled, "Come out! You sinister fellow! Where are you hiding?"

The paper man did not respond.

Hiruda did not act rashly. He was not sure whether the other party was deceiving him. In the Chinese military strategy, there is a saying of "real but fake, fake but real". Maybe the other party was pretending to deceive him, and then took advantage of his distraction to suddenly attack! This kind of thing is not impossible.

While Hiruda was still suspicious of everything, Qian Xiaoyi found another sorcerer and used the power of the Slit-Mouthed Woman to kill him.

However, he failed to control the force this time, and the scream still reached Hiruda's ears. He finally reacted and was quite annoyed. He roared, "Coward! Is this what you meant by letting me die?"

The paper man said, "Did you find out? If you have any problem with me, you can come to me. Or are you afraid to leave here for fear of falling into the trap I set?"

Hiruda did not refute. He really did not dare to. The opponent's methods were endless. He had never met such an opponent before. Even if he had three powerful evil spirits, who knew what other spells the opponent had not used? What's more, the opponent was a master of formations, so he had to be on guard.

"Do you think you have me in your grasp?" Although Hiruda did not dare to leave, he did not wait to die. He thought to himself, "Do you think I will just sit there and wait to die? Qian Xiaoyi, underestimating me is your biggest mistake. I will make you pay for what you have done!"

He gritted his teeth and pulled out a broken Barbie doll from his arms. The Barbie doll was trembling all over. Although there was a formal smile on its face, there was a look of fear in its eyes. Hiruda sneered, twisted off the Barbie doll's head, and threw the doll to his cursed spirit outside. With a commotion, the Barbie doll screamed and was dismembered.

"Just wait, Qian Xiaoyi." Hiruda sneered, "I will make you show up."

And at the moment he began to torture the spirit inside the Barbie doll, a man in a yukata who was walking on the crowded temple fair street seemed to have heard the scream. He took out another Barbie doll that looked similar from his arms. He could feel the fluctuations of pain and resentment in the doll.

"Mr. Hiruda has sent a signal!" The man was cheered up. The doll contained one of the twin cursed spirits. Twin spirits were very rare and had a subtle connection with each other. He was an accomplice of the sorcerer arranged by Hiruda outside the venue. As long as the spirit in his arms responded, it meant that Hiruda needed him.

"Does this mean that we have to implement the backup plan?" He looked ahead at the group of boys and girls who were having fun.
