The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 414 Urban Legend Part 6 ()

"Okay! Come on, Heitaro!" King Kong shouted passionately, "Let me see how powerful you are!"

Inuyama Heita nodded, and then...

He turned and ran.

"Eh? What's going on?" Kongo pointed at the direction where Inuyama Heita ran away and asked Qian Xiaoyi, "Um, Mr. Qian, Heitaro ran away. Is he scared? I won't really treat him like an enemy, right?"

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "King Kong, this is not a ring match. This cemetery is your battlefield, so as long as he hasn't left the battlefield, he won't be considered to have admitted defeat. After all, if he really goes all out, he doesn't want to be knocked down by your punch at the beginning. This should be a tactic that Heitaro has thought of after careful consideration. Don't underestimate the enemy. If I were you, I wouldn't stay where I am."

"Idiot... Oh no, Lord Kongo! Hurry up and catch up." The puppet Musashi reminded: "That brat must have seen that the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, so he wants to hide himself and set traps to contain you. If you really give him too much time to set up the battlefield, then even a strong man like Lord Kongo will still be at risk of defeat."

"So Heitaro is treating me as a strong enemy?" King Kong clenched his fists: "Okay! Then I must take it seriously! Heitaro, here I come!"

As he said this, he took a deep breath, then ran out like a sprinter, running at full speed.

The site chosen by Qian Xiaoyi was an old cemetery leaning against a hillside in the suburbs. The tombstones here were lined up in rows and extremely crowded. In addition, the height of the hillside made the rows of tombstones like a low wall that could block people's sight. Under the bright moonlight, it looked a bit eerie.

"I smell him." Musashi said, "Over there, over there! There's that guy's scent!"

"This way?" King Kong followed the direction pointed by Musashi, went around a tombstone, and reached the back of the trail, but saw nothing.

Just when he was about to ask the question, he suddenly saw a white shadow flash by in the distance, and he seemed to hear the cry of a fox in his ears, as if mocking him.

"It seems you've been deceived, Musashi." Kongo stopped and shook his head, "What you felt was an illusion created by the fox. It was obviously a trick to lure me over there."

Musashi sneered, "Is it an illusion? I don't think so. Maybe the enemy's true self is behind the illusion? Let's go over there and take a look."

King Kong thought so too, so he ran towards the direction of the white shadow. Just as he approached, something suddenly moved behind the tombstone.

"I found you, Heitaro!" Kongo jumped over the tombstone, looked down at the black shadow, and said, "The outcome of this battle is mine... Eh? Who are you?"

A short, hunchbacked old man raised his cloudy eyes and looked at King Kong, then put his hand to his ear and listened attentively, and asked in a thick local accent: "What? What did you say?"

"Why is there an old man here at this time?" Kongo thought it was another illusion of the fox, but Musashi reminded him:
"Stupid... Lord Kong, it's not an illusion, it's a ghost!"

King Kong looked carefully and found that the old man's figure was a little blurry, like the reflection on disturbed water, shaking from time to time.

King Kong suddenly realized: "So that's it, are they the ghosts of the cemetery itself?" "What? What did you say?" asked the old man.

"Old man, you should just stay underground." King Kong stretched out his hand and pressed the old man's ghost into the ground. He frowned and said, "This makes the search more difficult. This cemetery is not small. I'm afraid there are other ghosts."

At this time, a fox's laughter came from a distance. King Kong turned his head and saw the white fox sitting on a tombstone, squinting his eyes and looking at them mockingly.

"That's it. It's too annoying." King Kong scratched his head in annoyance and said, "That's why I hate this kind of enemy. Musashi, don't you have any solution? From the beginning to now, it seems that you haven't played any role."

Musashi suppressed his anger and said, "If I hadn't played a role, you, Lord Kongo, would have been trapped in a hallucination long ago, instead of being able to stand here and look for someone like now."

King Kong said: "But if we can't find the enemy, everything will be meaningless."

"I have a plan." Musashi said viciously, "Since the other party can use the undead in the cemetery as a cover, then we can also use them. Just like the old man just now, I can kill him and absorb his power. As long as I can absorb the undead in the entire cemetery, then this place will be mine. What do you think of this method?"

King Kong turned to look at the puppet and asked, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Musashi snorted and said, "Then there is nothing I can do. I am not a god. I need to eat to use my own abilities."

"So it's still an evil ghost after all." King Kong was a little disappointed.

Suddenly, a red lantern appeared in the sky and slowly floated over their heads. King Kong looked up, not understanding it at all: "Is this... an illusion?"

"It shouldn't be." Musashi said, "I feel a disgusting breath. It's the gods. It is using the power of the gods to turn this place into a divine domain."

King Kong opened his mouth wide: "Is this possible? So the fox spirit raised by Mr. Qian is actually the messenger of the shrine?"

"So, if you don't let me eat something, I'll lose." Musashi continued to persuade him, "These undead have nothing to do with you anyway, so what if I eat a few?"

King Kong said: "Don't even think about it, Musashi. I won't let you continue to do evil. It seems that what Mr. Qian said is right. You are really an evil spirit who deserves to die."

Musashi was very unhappy, but the more he was at this time, the more he couldn't show it, so Musashi said flatteringly: "Master Kongo, if that's the case, then let's continue to look for that little devil. As long as we can find him before the fox's divine domain is built, with your strength, you can knock him down with one punch."

"But that doesn't seem to be very interesting." King Kong scratched his cheek, then sat on the ground and said, "Since we are going to compete, of course I have to see the full strength of my opponent, and I also want to see if you are really as useful as you say, so let's do this."

Then, King Kong just stood there motionless, looking up leisurely, watching the increasing number of red lanterns floating in the sky.
