The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 732: The Narrow Gate (3)

Facing Inuyama Heita's attack, Qian Xiaoyi just exhaled a puff of second-hand smoke from his mouth, and suddenly, smoke filled the area in front of him.

Inuyama Heita's fist hit the smoke, but he felt that the smoke seemed to have substance, like hitting a ball of cotton, hindering his attack.

And at this moment, the smoke rushed towards him further and further. Inuyama Heita held his breath, then shouted loudly, and the faint flames on his body suddenly jumped up, establishing a protective circle to keep the smoke out.

Inuyama Heita knew that there were countless different kinds of cigarettes in Qian Xiaoyi's cigarette box, and each one had a different effect. There were soul-guiding incense to attract souls, soul-bewitching incense to interfere with the enemy's senses, and soul-soothing incense to appease the dead... There were even a few ordinary cigarettes mixed in.

In short, Inuyama Heita doesn't know how many types there are, but as long as you don't inhale them, it's fine.

The most urgent task... is to knock Qian Xiaoyi down before the ghost domain is fully formed! This is the method with the highest success rate for him to defeat the opponent.

But when he dispersed the smoke and wanted to continue attacking Qian Xiaoyi, he found that the smoke actually gathered around Qian Xiaoyi and did not disperse.

Inuyama Heita didn't stop and punched Qian Xiaoyi in the face again.

However, Qian Xiaoyi seemed to have merged into the smoke. Inuyama Heita's fist smashed his head directly, and the whole person turned into smoke and disappeared.

"How is this possible?!" Inuyama Heita was very surprised. Qian Xiaoyi's Gangbu could only be used after the ghost domain was formed. Although the aura of this dojo was very close, it had not reached that level, so he planned to hold his breath and solve it quickly.

He held his breath and launched a wide range of attacks in the smoke, but Qian Xiaoyi disappeared and his real body was not nearby at all.

"Are you thinking that no matter what the fragrance is, as long as you don't smell it, it's fine?"

Qian Xiaoyi's voice came from all directions. He said, "But unfortunately, this incense is not for you, but for myself...Breathe, don't hold it in, it will hurt you."

Inuyama Heita's face turned red from holding his breath. After such intense exercise, he couldn't hold it in for that long. He could only quickly step back, out of the smoky area, and then gasp for breath.

Nanajo Masato and Ajian, who were watching the fight, couldn't understand what was going on, but Xingchangrang was no rookie. He said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "I understand, that's nothing else, it's the incense commonly used in Taoist sacrifices!"

This sentence reminded Inuyama Heita, and he understood instantly that Qian Xiaoyi had lit the incense in advance because the ghost domain had not yet formed. Moreover, the talisman he used to light the cigarette was not for showing off. Qian Xiaoyi had already started to arrange the venue before the duel officially started. He was accelerating the formation of the ghost domain!

“Hahaha~ Don’t expose him so quickly~” Qian Xiaoyi’s voice came from somewhere far away, and the lingering smoke continued to spread to every corner of the dojo. Qian Xiaoyi’s voice said, “I want to see when this kid can react. If it were me, I would have pointed out that he was cheating when he lit the incense.”

Inuyama Heita was speechless. Who could have thought that someone of Qian Xiaoyi's level would actually use such a trick before the start?
"From your expression, you seem to be very disdainful of my actions, right?" Qian Xiaoyi said, "But the enemy won't play by the rules with you, kid."

Gradually, the smoke drifted around Inuyama Heita. At this moment, the ghost domain created by Qian Xiaoyi had been fully formed. Inuyama Heita knew that at this point, his fists were no longer effective. If he wanted to defeat his opponent, he had to use his real strength. "I won't admit defeat!" Inuyama Heita forced himself to cheer up and concentrate on sensing the changes in the aura of the surrounding environment.

After staying with Qian Xiaoyi for a long time, he learned a lot of things. For example, Qian Xiaoyi's Gangbu seems unpredictable, but in fact there are rules to follow. Qian Xiaoyi will cast this spell according to the current location of the ghost domain and appear in various corners where he wants to appear. Although Inuyama Heita does not understand the Yin-Yang and Eight Trigrams locations, as long as he is careful, he can feel the subtle changes in the aura every time.

Qian Xiaoyi's voice said, "But speaking of it, it's a good thing that I took precautions in advance, otherwise I might have to have a boxing match with you, which would not be a good look. I thought you wouldn't do that. Don't forget that our purpose today is to test the new power you have obtained. What's the point of having a hand-to-hand fight right at the beginning?"

Inuyama Heita said vigilantly: "Even if I use that power, I may not be able to defeat you, so it is better to use the simplest method to attack from the beginning. If it fails, I will not lose anything. On the contrary, if it succeeds, I can win the bet. As for that power, I can test it at any time."

"Tsk tsk tsk ~ You really have learned your lesson." Qian Xiaoyi said: "So what now? Why don't you try to find where I am? You know, I can attack at any time, which is quite disadvantageous to you."

Inuyama Heita said, "I can't find you. This is your specialty, Brother Otoko. If I want to find your location, I have to launch a large-scale attack that covers the entire ghost realm, but that will seriously exhaust my energy. Just like you said, since this duel is to test my power, why don't you show up and serve as a target for me to hit? In this way, I can use that power to show you."

On the sidelines, Nanajo Masato said in surprise: "His words are very sharp. He is a completely different person. Heitaro is completely different from his usual dull appearance now."

Ken said, "Hehe~ Did you just realize that Heitaro is very fierce when fighting."

After hearing Inuyama Heita's answer, Qian Xiaoyi laughed as if he had heard something funny: "Hahahaha~ It's stupid, but it does make sense."

A red dot loomed in the smoke, and Qian Xiaoyi's figure slowly emerged from the smoke. He held a lit cigarette in his mouth and said, "Okay, now that I'm here, launch your attack? Or do you plan to continue using your fists?"

"You don't have to tell me!" Inuyama Heita rushed over the moment Qian Xiaoyi appeared. Flames ignited on his fist, and he threw a right hook at Qian Xiaoyi's head.

Qian Xiaoyi just calculated the direction and stepped back slightly to avoid Inuyama Heita's attack.

Just when he thought that Inuyama Heita was going to continue approaching him and launch an attack, Inuyama Heita made an unexpected move.

"vomit!!!"

Inuyama Heita's cheeks puffed up, and a large amount of sour and smelly black water spit out of Inuyama Heita's mouth and sprayed towards Qian Xiaoyi.

"Fuck!" Qian Xiaoyi's face suddenly changed and his native language blurted out.

"Wow, Heitaro is so disgusting." Ajian said, and the three people on the scene all showed expressions of disgust.
