The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 439: The Great Battle of Exorcism (16)

So they determined their respective groups and areas of responsibility.

The priest Yakushi Kawaihito and Shinno Mariko are in a team and are in charge of the courtyard area.

Kaito Goriki and Akihiro Yamamori are in charge of the rooms on the second floor.

The Hatagaya brothers are in charge of the east side of the first floor.

Qian Xiaoyi, Inuyama Heita and Terao Yu were responsible for the west side of the first floor.

The others stayed in the lounge on the first floor.

It is worth mentioning that when the groups were formed, Yamamori Akio, who had been silent the whole time, was the first to propose to be in the same group with Goriki Kaito, and Goriki Kaito was not to be outdone and agreed.

Although the purpose of these two people was obvious, no one else tried to stop them. No one wanted to team up with these two uncertain factors. One was a vicious sorcerer, and the other was an arrogant and violent maniac. Neither of them were good teammates.

After determining the groups, they took a short rest in the lounge, gathered their strength, and waited for the arrival of the late night, ready to fight a decisive battle with those evil spirits that appeared in the darkest hour.

The midnight bell rang, and at this moment, the exorcists felt that the atmosphere outside suddenly changed, becoming completely different. In addition to the atmosphere, there was another obvious change.

"That is..." The butler stared at the bottom of the lounge door in disbelief. There was actually light shining from outside through the gap below, as if there was electricity. However, he tried to turn on the light in the room, but it didn't come on.

"Don't bother, the outside is already the spirit world." Goriki Kaito sneered, holding his short sword, and said, "You came just in time, I'm already impatient to wait. Hey, sorcerer, do you have the courage to follow me?"

Yamamori Akio rubbed his fingers and said grimly: "Be careful, don't get killed by the 'evil spirit' later."

Gui Teng Long Guang sighed and said, "Alas... you two should still be more restrained. After all, no one knows what will happen. Anyway, I wish you all good luck in martial arts. I will be here waiting for your triumphant return."

Qian Xiaoyi nodded, walked over first and opened the door.

Outside the door, the bright lights stung the eyes of the people who had been in dim light for a long time. After a while, they could see the scene outside clearly.

A weird, extremely weird feeling filled everyone's mind. The scene in the corridor was too abnormal. They didn't know if it was the influence of the lights, but everything was shrouded in a strange light, just like the strange faded and yellowed tones in old photos.

Shinno Mariko was shocked and said, "What happened? It wasn't like this yesterday."

She was somewhat hesitant, her sensitive sense making her feel a little uneasy.

"Let's go." Qian Xiaoyi walked out with Inuyama Heita and Terao Iku, as if he didn't see anything. The moment they walked into the range of lights, their figures became old, like the people in the photo, slowly fading.

"Tsk~" Seeing that Qian Xiaoyi and the others had already left, Gangli Kaidou was not to be outdone: "Hey, follow me, sorcerer, and remove the spirits."

Yamamori Akio put his hands in his pockets and walked out of the room side by side with Goriki Kaito.

The twins nodded to the rest of the people in the room and left as well.

The last team, the priest Yakushi Kawanin, said to Shinno Mariko, "Let's go, Ms. Shinno, we have our responsibilities too."

"I... I understand." Shenneng Mariko suppressed her fear, walked out of the room with him, and closed the door of the lounge. The lounge fell into darkness again, with only candles and fireplaces swaying. The scene in the corridor was very different from usual. There were tables and chairs everywhere, everything was broken, and there were obstacles everywhere on the road, as if it had not been cleaned for a long time.

Qian Xiaoyi looked at his faded hands and murmured, "It's not good to keep this state... Anyway, get rid of it first. It will be troublesome if I am assimilated by the environment here."

As he spoke, he made a gesture with his fingers and took a step forward. The color of his body immediately returned to its original state, becoming out of tune with the environment.

Inuyama Heita and Terao Iku followed suit, one adjusted his tie while the other cut his finger and smeared the blood on his forehead, and both of them restored their color in their own ways.

"What should we do next, Mr. Qian?" Terao Yu looked at Qian Xiaoyi expectantly.

"What's next?" Qian Xiaoyi looked at the scary figures that suddenly appeared from behind the obstacles in the corridor ahead and said, "Of course, the next step is to fight back."

Those figures in ragged military uniforms were like the characters in the photo, roaring at them with their mouths wide open, as if they were shouting "enemy attack" or "invaders", but they could hear nothing, as if they were watching an immersive silent movie.

Pale flames burst out from the muzzles of the evil spirits' guns, but there was no sound. They used this silent resistance to launch a volley of fire at Qian Xiaoyi and his men.

"Lu Cun!" Qian Xiaoyi was ready to respond. He took a step forward and threw a few talismans around him. An invisible barrier appeared, and the bullets splashed on it, creating ripples that could not be penetrated at all.

"Please look at me, Mr. Qian!" Terao Yu pulled up his sleeves, revealing his arms covered with scars. Purple energy flowed out from these scars and condensed into his palms, forming a javelin. He said confidently: "Let me deal with those guys! When it comes to dealing with evil spirits, the Terao clan also has its own methods."

Just as he was about to throw the spear of resentment, Qian Xiaoyi stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, let me study it again."

"Huh?" Terao Yu was a little surprised, and then he saw Qian Xiaoyi suddenly reached out and pushed Inuyama Heita out.

"Heitaro, collect the bullets." Qian Xiaoyi said.

"Wow!" Inuyama Heita exclaimed, and then was exposed to the enemy's firepower. He held down his tie, and a black suit appeared on his body. The next second, countless bullets attacked him, making him tremble like a sieve.

After a few seconds, he fled into the barrier in a panic, complaining, "This is too much!"

As he spoke, he shook his clothes, and bullets fell out of the lining of his clothes like rain and landed all over the ground.

"Thank you for your hard work." Qian Xiaoyi squatted down to study the bullets and said, "Young people should exercise more."

He picked up some bullets and held them in his palm. Those bullets were also faded versions. After they were gathered together, there were no boundaries between them. They became a tangled mess with only vague shapes left. Qian Xiaoyi squeezed it with a little force, and the bullets turned into powder and disappeared into thin air.

"Sure enough..." Qian Xiaoyi thought to himself, "It's a newly formed urban legend ghost domain. It can't be any newer, but because of this, its power is also very limited. If the enemy really wants to use this thing against me, it would be too stupid. So, the opponent's real method is..."

In the corridor on the second floor, a silent exchange of fire was going on fiercely.

Facing the evil spirits that kept firing, the scorpion tattoo on Yamamori Akio's face crawled like a living thing. A huge phantom of a scorpion also appeared in front of him, blocking the bullets for him. Without even turning his head, he asked, "Hey, are you still not done over there?"

"It will be done soon... soon." Goriki Kaito approached quietly from behind Yamamori Akihiro, raised the dagger in his hand, and stabbed him.
