The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 790: Enemy in Honnoji Part 9 ()

In the arena, an exorcist sat slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, staring ahead in horror. In front of him was a sphere made up of corpses. Countless hands stretched out from the sphere, trying to grab the living person in front of them and drag him into their bodies to make him a part of themselves.

However, this corpse ball could not touch the exorcist no matter what, as if it was controlled by some invisible force.

"Hahaha, are you so weak? Come up quickly, don't embarrass yourself."

"He was still boasting before he was kicked off, but now he's about to pee his pants."

The sounds of laughter were endless. If there were no external enemy threat, the exorcists would naturally look down on each other as the saying goes, "competents are enemies." But now, seeing their colleagues being humiliated, many of them let out harmless laughs.

"Asshole! If you have the guts, come down and try!" The exorcist scrambled out of the arena, not wanting to embarrass himself down there.

Kongo, Terao Yu, and Inuyama Heita stared at the evil spirit below, wondering about the power of that thing.

King Kong asked: "What do you think of that evil spirit? It's so strange. I've never seen an evil spirit of this shape before."

Terao Yu recognized it, "Because it's not a naturally formed evil spirit. With the Rebirth Jizo, it can attract all kinds of evil spirits in the surrounding area. The ones below are some weak or incomplete evil spirits gathered together to form an aggregate. They should be relatively weak, right? I heard that the powerful ones haven't been released yet."

Inuyama Heita said, "But it should still be stronger than the average evil spirit, right? After all, it is Mr. Ashiya's work."

Terao Yu said boastfully, "But they are also stronger than ordinary exorcists. These guys haven't made any progress at all. Unlike us, our strength has improved by leaps and bounds under Teacher Qian's special training. Opponents of this level are not worth our efforts at all."

King Kong grinned and said, "Is that so? Then I will start warming up and try to blow this thing up with one punch, so that everyone can see my current strength."

Terao Yu looked at him with squinted eyes: "Your inspiration is still so dull, you can't even feel the strength of this kind of enemy."

King Kong held his chest and said confidently: "Compared to before, I have improved a lot. In the past, I couldn't even get in here."

Inuyama Heita suddenly thought of something and asked, "Speaking of which, Kongo, where is your doll? That Musashi? I haven't seen it for a long time."

King Kong began to warm up and said, "After the special training from Teacher Qian, I no longer need it to show me the way. That guy is too talkative and makes people uncomfortable. I will only bring it with me if I need help when I accept a commission alone. Otherwise, I always put it in the cabinet when I fight in a team."

Terao Yu suddenly said, "I'll go down first to help you find out the truth."

As he said that, he climbed over the railing and jumped down.

"Oh, so cunning. I said I would be the next one to show off." King Kong said.

The appearance of Terao Yu made everyone's attention focus on the arena again. They said they wanted to have an actual fight, but at the beginning, everyone wanted to wait and see the situation first, otherwise they would become a laughing stock like the unlucky guy before. Reputation is also very important for an exorcist.

"Isn't this Terao?" An exorcist recognized him and said, "It's been a long time. Can you beat that guy?"

Terao Yu looked up and responded: "A mere gathering of evil spirits is a piece of cake for me. Just watch my power."

Kongo and Inuyama Heita also looked towards the center of the field curiously. Although they had a good relationship as they were all Qian Xiaoyi's students, Terao Yu had been bragging about how powerful his new power was but had never shown it once. This might be the first time he had shown his actual combat ability after the special training.

"Hmph, an ordinary collection of vengeful spirits." Terao Yu glanced at his opponent and took out a brush from his pocket. Then he said to the altar: "Teacher Qian, we can start now. Let it come over!" Qian Xiaoyi nodded to him, made a spell, and activated the altar.

The gathering of evil spirits became frantic, and they crawled towards Terao Yu, looking as disgusting as a bunch of worms with many arms and legs.

Terao Yu sneered, he raised the brush in front of himself and said: "I have seen through the structure of this thing, I only need a little bit of catalysis... to make this disgusting thing fall apart! See my new trick..."

“——【Spell Word·Question】!”

Terao Yu roared in a cool manner and recited the names of his own moves like an anime protagonist. The malice oozing from him gathered on the brush and turned into ink, staining the tip of the brush black. Then Terao Yu went towards the gathering of vengeful spirits. The two passed each other, and at that moment, Terao Yu had already written a symbol of unknown meaning on the gathering of vengeful spirits.

The symbol looked like meaningless graffiti, but also like words, emitting a cold black light, and then slowly blended in.

Terao Yu had his back to the monster, and kept waving his brush without moving. If the monster exploded on the spot the next second, then he had indeed made a big move, but...

"Hey, Terao, behind you! Behind you! That monster is still moving!"

Terao Yu turned around and saw the vengeful spirits rushing towards him again. Terao Yu fled in panic, shouting, "This is different from what I expected!"

The exorcists who were watching the fight nearby laughed as they looked at Terao Yu's extremely miserable appearance.

"Give up, Terao."

"You are still as unreliable as ever. What on earth have you learned? It's completely useless."

“I’m about to be caught up~hahaha~”

The group of people above are watching the fun and not minding the trouble.

Terao Yu shouted angrily: "Shut up! This is... a technical adjustment! Just wait and see! I won't admit defeat!"

Beside the altar, Qian Xiaoyi crossed his arms and shook his head: "This idiot misjudged the completeness of the enemy's structural combination. The spell words were not wrong, but the effective time was wrong."

Sure enough, after chasing Terao Yu for several rounds, the gathering of vengeful spirits slowed down. The exorcists began to wonder, and finally saw clearly what had happened.

"Look! Those broken ghosts are killing each other!"

“And more and more individuals are beginning to join!”

Just as they said, the target of the ghost group changed. At first, there were only a few ghosts attacking other ghosts, but as they attacked, this behavior began to spread. Gradually, the entire ghost group became chaotic and bit each other.

Terao Yu stopped panting, took out a notebook from his arms, dipped the brush in his saliva, and wrote something while muttering: "Although it worked, the actual combat effect needs to be improved... This is an excellent actual combat exercise..."
