The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 730: Narrow Gate
"The nineteenth saint, Okubo Kenjiro..." Qian Xiaoyi sat on the sofa, repeating the man's name, and muttered: "Is this the last person you entrusted? Fushigi."

The news was said to have been spread by a group of yakuza members. They all said that they were present at the scene and that Okubo asked them to come out in order to catch Fushigi Yin. Their statements sounded very detailed.

Although Qian Xiaoyi guessed that Okubo was the backup left by Fuki Ino, in the eyes of other exorcists, this person was the murderer of Fuki Ino.

He was originally the "Saint" that he wanted to teach. Although it was Father Kamino who discovered the body, no one would doubt the priest. After all, one was a high-ranking member of the enemy organization, and the other was a highly respected senior exorcist. Who would need to be trusted?

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head, hoping that this person could hide well and not be found by any party. He must have the most crucial information and evidence in his hands, which might be the key to breaking the deadlock.

So Qian Xiaoyi called Zhang Chunfa and asked him to keep an eye on the whereabouts of this person. Now Qian Xiaoyi could only do this. He couldn't interfere too much in matters other than exorcism.

"Wait?" Qian Xiaoyi suddenly thought of the divination Anna had done for him. He said to himself, "It seems... this is the only way. But while waiting, I have to make some preparations... Then let's go and mess with Heitaro."

Thinking about this, he took out his cell phone and called Inuyama Heita.

"Hey! You're so arrogant lately, come out and challenge me, Kora!!!"

"Hi?"

Inuyama Heita frowned as he looked at his cell phone, wondering if some bad gangster from Kansai had called him by mistake, but the number was indeed Qian Xiaoyi's, which confused him for a moment.

Qian Xiaoyi coughed twice, then returned to his normal tone and said, "Let's continue the duel that we didn't have last time, Heitaro. This is a good opportunity for me to see the results of your special training during this period."

"..." Inuyama Heita took a deep breath and sighed, "Um... Brother O, I'm sorry for what I said last time. I don't know what happened at that time. I said those words in a fit of anger... Please forgive me."

As he spoke, he bowed to the empty air in front of him, as if Qian Xiaoyi was right in front of him.

He really thought so. That night he seemed to be controlled by his own emotions. He knew that saying those words would be terrible, but he couldn't help but say them. Looking back now, he felt a little regretful.

Qian Xiaoyi urged, "Don't give in so quickly. Where did your momentum from that night go? Maybe after you get that power, you can really surpass me, right? After all, on the night of the typhoon, I was pinned to the ground and beaten by that monster woman. You witnessed that scene with your own eyes, so that's why you think so, right?"

"It's too exaggerated to say that he was pinned to the ground and beaten..." Inuyama Heita said hesitantly, but... Qian Xiaoyi and the others were indeed at a disadvantage that day.

But this does not mean that after Inuyama Heita possesses that power, he will be able to defeat Qian Xiaoyi. After all, there are differences between people. The strength of the previous Eleven Saints Saito Yuichi is far inferior to that monster woman.

"【Monster】...could it be her?" Inuyama Heita murmured.

"What did you say?" Qian Xiaoyi didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing!" Inuyama Heita said immediately: "Anyway, I won't attack you, Brother O! If you want to hit me, just go ahead, I won't fight back, just consider it an apology."

"Really? But beating a sandbag doesn't give you much sense of accomplishment." Qian Xiaoyi tempted, "After you get that power, don't you really want to find an opponent to try it out? The kind that can use all your strength. I know you are afraid that after using that power, you will hurt innocent people, but now, I will give you a chance to attack me in an all-out way. If you can get the upper hand from me, I will become your helper and help you complete your revenge. How about it?"

Hearing Qian Xiaoyi's words, Inuyama Heita's breathing stagnated. He knew Qian Xiaoyi's abilities very well. And just as Qian Xiaoyi said, after controlling those powers, he had an impulse in his heart, an impulse to destroy everything he disliked. Although this impulse was suppressed in his heart now, the next time it erupted, it would probably be more serious than before.

"Really... is it okay?" Inuyama Heita asked cautiously, "Will that not affect the alliance's plan?" Qian Xiaoyi grinned. This kid has already started to imagine what will happen after he beats him. What does this mean? It means that he will be able to give him a good beating later... a lesson.

So Qian Xiaoyi said seriously: "Of course it's true. After all, my target is also the Hope Cult. Our goals are the same, aren't they? If even I can't defeat your strength, it means that you already have the strength to fight the Hope Cult."

"I understand..." Inuyama Heita felt his fighting spirit burning up, and he asked, "I'll go to the office later."

"No, we're going somewhere else this time." Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile, "Neither the office nor your home is a suitable place for fighting. It's too narrow. If you want to go, let's go to a place dedicated to sparring. I'll pick you up later."

"Are we going to King Kong's boxing gym?" Inuyama Heita asked. If they were in the octagonal cage, he and King Kong had been practicing for so long, and Qian Xiaoyi had been playing with his mobile phone next to them, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

"Hahaha~ You've wanted to beat me up for a long time, right? Heitaro? You're so arrogant. But we are going to a bigger place, you will know when the time comes." Qian Xiaoyi said.

Inuyama Heita hung up the phone and was about to go downstairs, but he saw Nanajo Masato and Ken looking at him eagerly.

Nanajo Masato said, "Heitaro, we all heard the phone call just now."

Ajian said, "Please take us with you."

Inuyama Heita asked in confusion: "Huh? Why? Mr. Ken is fine, but Mr. Nanajo, you're not an exorcist at all, right? Why do you want to go too?"

Ah Jian said: "Of course it's to see how Brother Yi beats me..."

Nanajo Masato covered Ken's mouth and said sternly, "Of course, it's to watch the battles between exorcists! You know the situation in my family, so I really hope to learn something! Please, Heitaro!"

"I'm fine..." Inuyama Heita scratched his face and said, "It'll be fine if Brother O agrees, but... his motorcycle can only carry one person. Ken can get into the jade pendant, but how are you going to get there, Mr. Nanajo? Take the train?"

Nanajo Masato said, "Don't you have a small motorcycle? I can just ride that."

No matter what, he couldn't miss this wonderful scene!
Inuyama Heita also remembered that after Qian Xiaoyi got Nuhuomaru, he gave him the 50cc motorcycle he rode before. However, he always took the tram to school and hadn't been out recently, so he hardly used it. He lent it to Nanajo Masato when he went out to work.

After a while, Qian Xiaoyi rode his bike to the downstairs of Inuyama Heita's apartment. Seeing the expressions of Nanajo Masato and Ken, he immediately understood what they were planning, so he smiled and said, "You want to watch the fight? Okay, let's go together."

So, Qian Xiaoyi rode on Nuhumaru, carrying Inuyama Heita, and Shichijo Masato followed behind.

After driving for a while, they arrived at their destination. Inuyama Heita recognized the place and said, "This is... the Hoshiba family? Are we going to fight here?"

Qian Xiaoyi took off his helmet and said, "He has a dojo at home, so it would be a waste if we don't use it. There are also some matching barriers that can prevent accidents... In other words..."

Qian Xiaoyi looked at Inuyama Heita and said with a smile: "When the time comes, just come at me, Heitaro. If you have any concerns, you will lose miserably."
