The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 693: The Journey to the Mountain of Osorrow (46)

"Did it succeed?" Lingna asked anxiously, looking at the darkness in the sky. This night was really long. She wanted to end this nightmare immediately and go back home to be an autistic stay-at-home girl. No matter what Qian Xiaoyi said, she would not go out.

The space in front of Lingnai flashed, and Qian Xiaoyi returned to her and said, "I told you, this guy is difficult to deal with because it has a body that is invulnerable to any attack, and the things inside it, the combination of the two makes it so powerful. Now there are two pieces of news. The good news is that we have just dealt with its invincible body."

"But the bad news is--" Suzuna was so scared that her nose was about to run: "We still have to face the existence inside it? That's the mountain god, right? We still have to face a complete mountain god? Are you kidding me? I want to go home! Wuuuuu..."

Qian Xiaoyi glanced at her and said, "Did I say there is good news and bad news? The second good news is that without that powerful body as a container, it can no longer maintain that level of power."

In the sky, the pitch-black color had obscured the blood moon above the Sanzu River. A large, blurry face poked out from the darkness and looked at the people on the ground.

“Finally… I’m finally going to be free…” the blurry face murmured, “I don’t have to endure that emptiness anymore, but before that… I will definitely kill you!”

King Kong took a defensive stance, looking somewhat distressed: "Do we still want to fight?" Even he was almost exhausted now.

"There will be a fight, but it won't be us." Qian Xiaoyi asked King Kong to sit down and rest, and said, "It will be our fight next."

King Kong nodded as if he understood, then sat down to rest.

"Hmph, boring." The mountain god Noh mask in Suzuna's hand said a word and then changed back to its original shape.

Suzuna said in surprise, "Huh? We can contact the mountain god again? Does this mean that the enemy's control over Mount Osorezan has weakened?"

Not far away, Granny Tao looked up at the big face and said tiredly, "Thanks to that psychic detective from China, yes, it's finally over. Master, let me put an end to this disaster."

"Taozi! Let me see if you have surpassed me?" The huge human face brought the entire sky down to the ground, like the end of the world.

"Wow!" Suzuna screamed and squatted down, hugging her head.

Qian Xiaoyi, who was standing by, did not move. He was still sitting on the ground, with only a handful of melon seeds in his hand.

Faced with this strange sight, Granny Tao just watched, but a huge black hand emerged from the ground beneath her feet and lifted her up towards the sky.

For a moment, the sky and the earth changed color, and that hand just held up the entire sky, wrestling with it.

Wei Bo stared blankly at the scene and murmured, "Master..."

King Kong asked, "Mr. Qian, don't we need to go up and help?"

Although he said so, he really no longer had the energy to participate in a battle of this intensity.

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head: "Don't worry, Granny Tao can handle it herself."

After all, both sides are her own cognition. Now that she is no longer bound by the zombie body, the problem will be solved no matter which side is defeated.

If she wins, it means that Granny Tao has defeated her inner demons. If she loses, it means that Granny Tao’s self-destructive tendencies have prevailed.

In short, they just have to wait for a result.

The battle was so fierce that the entire ghost realm was shaking. It was so dark and chaotic, but Qian Xiaoyi and others just watched quietly.

They fought for an unknown amount of time. Finally, Granny Tao turned around in the sky and said something to her eldest disciple Wei Bo on the ground. Based on her mouth shape, Qian Xiaoyi guessed that it might be something like "Wei Bo, the dojo is now in your hands."

"It's still like this..." Qian Xiaoyi frowned: "In the end, you chose self-destruction to atone for your sins?"

The darkness in the sky desperately drilled into Granny Tao's body. Wei Bo also saw Granny Tao's intention and shouted heartbreakingly: "Master! Stop it!!!"

The darkness that could have occupied the entire sky finally entered Granny Tao's body. She slowly fell to the ground, looked up at the blood moon in the sky, and murmured, "How beautiful..."

"Master! Master!" Wei Bo walked over with a broken heart, trying to reach out and touch Grandma Tao, but her hand went straight through Grandma Tao's body.

Wei Bo remembered that Granny Tao's body was not on the mountain. What was in front of him was just Granny Tao's projection. Her body was still in the hospital ward at the foot of the mountain.

“Wei Bo…” Granny Tao’s figure became increasingly blurred. She looked at the sky and murmured, “Let me be alone for a while, just for a while…”

Wei Bo sat on the ground, covered her face and cried bitterly. As a medium, she knew what had happened.

"It's really touching, the self-redemption part."

A sarcastic voice sounded beside Wei Bo. She turned her head and found that it was Qian Xiaoyi who was walking towards her slowly with his hands in his pockets.

Granny Tao's disappearing shadow turned her head slightly, looked at Qian Xiaoyi, and said weakly: "This time... Thank you so much, clever detective..."

"If you really want to thank me, then prepare a good thank-you gift for me!" Qian Xiaoyi grinned, "Old woman, I have tolerated you for a long time! I have been waiting for this moment! Ah Yu! Come here!"

Terao Iku suddenly appeared beside Granny Tao. He looked haggard and decadent, like a social animal who had worked overtime for three days and three nights. However, his expression was very fanatical, and he kept muttering, "Finally! This special medicine called [Curse]! I have successfully created it! I will surpass Hiruda and Miss Keiko and become the true king of sorcerers! Hahahahaha~~~"

After making a heroic declaration that resounded through the heavens and the earth, Terao Iku stretched out his hands. Between his hands, there was a messy symbol that kept changing its shape. Terao Iku carefully sent this messy symbol to the disappearing shadow of Granny Tao.

Under Granny Tao's unexpected gaze, the strange symbol actually merged directly into her shadow.

But in the end, Granny Tao's shadow disappeared under the bright red moonlight.

Wei Bo asked dully: "...What did you guys just do? My master..."

Qian Xiaoyi sneered, "The old woman wanted to use her last bit of strength to perish together with the monster she created, but she forgot one thing, that is, she hasn't paid the reward for this commission yet! So I asked A Yu to help her."

Wei Bo felt a surge of hope in his heart: "You mean... my master is not dead yet?!"

"How should I know?" Qian Xiaoyi said, "I just tried it."

"Huh?" Wei Bo was stunned.

Qian Xiaoyi said angrily: "You should ask the doctor whether she is dead or not. Ask me what is going on."

"Doctor? That's right! Hospital!" Wei Bo suddenly realized, stumbled to her feet, and ran towards the temple. She wanted to return to her body and check on her master's safety!

Wei Bo had already gone far away. Qian Xiaoyi looked at the psychics who were having nightmares on the ground around him, sat down on the ground, and muttered: "...It's not easy."
