The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 339: The Bizarre Adventures of Shichijo Masato (12)

Inuyama Heita looked down and realized that they were somehow standing on a track with walls very close to each other on both sides. It was obviously a very narrow train tunnel. When he raised his head to the end of the track, a pair of white glowing eyes looked at him in the distance. Moreover, those eyes were getting closer to him and making a deafening roar.

——No, those were not eyes! They were the lights of the train! And the roar was just the whistle of the train.

The train was coming towards them along the track with a thunderous momentum, as if it wanted to crush them.

"In order to prevent us from destroying [Ape Dream], this magic circle has strengthened its power, hoping to kill us in one fell swoop." Qian Xiaoyi looked at Inuyama Heita and asked, "So I have to borrow your power now. Are you ready to verify the results of this period of training?"

"Yeah." Inuyama Heita nodded and looked behind them. At the exit of the track, there was a large group of dwarfs rushing over with weapons. They were now trapped from both sides.

"coming soon!"

Qian Xiaoyi suddenly moved, and with lightning speed, he stabbed the copper coin sword into Inuyama Heita's chest.

The next second, Qian Xiaoyi pulled the copper coin sword out of Inuyama Heita's chest, and with a bang, a fierce flame came out. The flames condensed on the copper coin sword and did not dissipate, burning violently. The originally short copper coin sword now transformed into a hot flaming long sword.

"Heitaro, can I borrow your Yang Fire?" Qian Xiaoyi made a sword flower and said while looking at the oncoming train.

At the moment the Yang Fire in his body was extracted, Inuyama Heita's face turned visibly blue and his lips turned purple, like a corpse. He exhaled a breath of white air, and his body was as cold as a piece of ice.

Inuyama Heita turned around and faced the dwarves rushing towards them. He took out the purple Yin Gathering Talisman in his left hand and the rusty utility knife in his right hand, and murmured, "Please help me, Miss Shizuka."

As he spoke, he combined the Yin Gathering Talisman and the utility knife into one, and a huge amount of Yin energy from the surrounding area passed through his body and flowed into the utility knife.

Instantly, a translucent figure emerged behind him, exuding a visceral resentment. She stared at the invading dwarves in front of her, her bloodshot eyes filled with hatred for everything in the world. Why, why did they hurt a harmless person like Inuyama Heita? Just like the world had hurt her in the past.

Just when the out-of-control train was close enough to see the grinning dwarf in the driver's seat at the front, the two men moved at the same time.

Qian Xiaoyi's figure turned into a shadow and rushed towards the train.

Just when the train was less than 20 meters away from him and was about to hit him in the next second, Qian Xiaoyi stepped forward heavily and shouted: "Po Jun!"

His speed increased suddenly, and he appeared in front of the train in an instant at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye. With blazing flames, he stabbed forward with a sword facing the front of the train. At the moment when the long sword emitting dazzling red light stabbed out, intense flames broke out at the same time with a huge momentum, and turned into a sea of ​​fire with a head-on attitude, directly engulfing the entire train along the tunnel, making the whole world tremble.

A loud explosion sounded. Qian Xiaoyi stood in front of the fire in the tunnel, looking at the burning wreckage in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction. At this time, the flame on the copper coin sword in his hand had become much weaker, but it was still burning. These were the results of Inuyama Heita's hard training in the past six months.

Qian Xiaoyi looked back and saw that Inuyama Heita had almost killed all the attacking dwarfs. He was holding a utility knife in his hand, and the corpses of dwarfs were all around him. He looked like a murderer who had carried out a massacre, and looked extremely creepy.

But Qian Xiaoyi could see that he was not admiring his own masterpiece, but there was too much negative energy accumulated in his body, which he could not bear and was unable to move.

Qian Xiaoyi walked up to him, took out the purple talisman from the utility knife, and wiped the flame on the copper coin sword with his hand. Then he slapped Inuyama Heita on the forehead, sending the flame into his body. Only then did Inuyama Heita's skin color turn rosy, and he became like a normal person, instead of looking more like a dead person.

"I'm saved..." Inuyama Heita immediately supported himself on his knees and began to breathe heavily.

"You did a good job." Qian Xiaoyi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Now you finally look like a qualified assistant. You just need to hold on a little longer next time."

Inuyama Heita showed a helpless expression.

Just now, the Yang Fire in his body was extracted by Qian Xiaoyi, so his body became an excellent conductor of Yin Qi. He could use the Yin Gathering Talisman unscrupulously to gather Yin Qi to charge the evil spirit in the utility knife. While his Yang Fire was being used by Qian Xiaoyi, it was also well protected and finally returned to his body safely, harmonizing Yin and Yang.

It has to be said that Inuyama Heita really thinks this is a very clever idea. It can not only serve as a battery to help Qian Xiaoyi, but also give himself some self-protection ability. However, only he himself knows how uncomfortable it is. Being able to maintain it for one minute is already his current limit.

"What should we do now?" Inuyama Heita raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his face. Although he felt a little cold all over and his legs were very heavy, he could still move normally. Qian Xiaoyi grasped the timing just right.

Qian Xiaoyi took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. He rubbed his fingers to produce a little flame and lit it, then said: "We just destroyed [Ape Dream]. Although due to the characteristics of urban legends, that thing will be reborn after a period of time, but at least it won't be too fast. And because we just destroyed the arrangement of the magic circle here, the surrounding space and direction have temporarily returned to normal. We have to leave here before the magic circle starts to repair itself, so... Ajian, come out to work!" Ajian, who had been hiding in the jade pendant, floated out and complained: "You really know how to order people around..."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up." Qian Xiaoyi took out the compass.

While Qian Xiaoyi was smoking a cigarette and holding a compass in his hand, searching for the exit with Ajian, Inuyama Heita suddenly asked, "Um...what about Mr. Nanajo? What should we do with him? Shouldn't we go look for him?"

"He...should be fine, right?" Qian Xiaoyi paused and muttered, "Probably."

Inuyama Heita said speechlessly: "Can't your tone be a little more certain?"

At this time, the man they called Mr. Nanajo was running forward along the track for his life. He wanted to get rid of the woman who was only half a body behind him, but the "click-click" sound behind him was getting closer and closer, and the distance did not shorten at all, which made him even more frightened.

Before, a train sped past on this side of the track. At that moment, he saw Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita in one of the carriages, so he started shouting, but the train soon left, and he could only keep running in this direction, and then ran into a dark and narrow tunnel.

"Help... Help!" Nanajo Masato was gasping for breath and his steps began to become weak, but he still couldn't stop, because if he stopped, he would be caught by the monster behind him.

"No matter who it is, please save me! Qian Xiaoyi! Qian Xiaoyi!" He begged for help desperately, hoping that someone could hear his voice.

Then he saw a ray of light appearing in front of the tunnel, which gave him a little hope.

But he could hardly run anymore now. He felt like his lungs were about to burst. Shichijo Masato didn't think he was a person who lacked exercise. On the contrary, he would work out for one to two hours every day in the gym at his villa. He was very self-disciplined. But here, for some reason, his strength was depleting very quickly, which made it impossible for him to run as fast as he did at the beginning.

At this time, the "clicking" sound had reached behind his ears and then stopped.

Suddenly, a pair of hands tightly hugged his legs, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.

"Here she comes, she's catching up..." Nanajo Masato looked back stiffly. The woman with only half of her body had grabbed his leg, her eyes full of malice.

"No, I can't die here! I'm almost there! I'm almost there!" Nanajo Masato tried his best to crawl towards the light in front of the tunnel. He could feel that it was the exit, and he was getting closer and closer to it! As long as he held on...

But the half-body woman behind him didn't give him a chance. She climbed onto Shichijo Masato's back. Shichijo Masato could even feel the slippery touch of his intestines wriggling on his back.

"Uh!"

Nanajo Masato was strangled by the neck, his face turned purple. He wanted to continue crawling forward, but due to lack of oxygen, he could no longer crawl. He could only look at the light at the exit in despair, waiting for death to come.

At this moment, Nanajo Masato seemed to see that the light seemed to be closer to him.

"Is this a dying hallucination?" Nanajo Masato thought fuzzily, "Am I going to die? I'm in a place like this... Wait! It seems to be getting closer, that... that's not a hallucination!"

In Nanajo Masato's dark vision, he could see that the light was indeed approaching him and was swaying in the darkness. Only then did he realize that it was not an exit, but something else, perhaps another monster.

When the light really came in front of him, a hand stretched out from behind the light and grabbed the palm of Shichijo Masato's hand as he tried to crawl forward. Then, a talisman was attached to Shichijo Masato's forehead. The surrounding environment changed instantly, and the hand on his neck and the pressure on his back disappeared, allowing him to finally see the scene clearly.

"God...angel?"

In the corridor, the cell phone in Suzuki's chest pocket acted as a flashlight to illuminate the surroundings. She squatted in front of Shichijo Masato, grabbed Shichijo Masato's hand, and made him feel a little warmth.

Masato Shichijo looked up at Suzuki who was in the holy light, as if he saw an angel.
