The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 800: Enemy in Honnoji Part 19 ()

If viewed from an ordinary person's perspective, the fight between King Kong and the armored warrior is like two violent storms colliding with each other, biting each other non-stop. Their movements leave afterimages, and it is impossible to tell who is who. Both sides are entangled and are trying their best to attack the enemy.

After the two storms raged for a while, King Kong suddenly stopped moving. He raised one arm armor and shouted, "The last piece!"

Behind him, the tall armored warrior collapsed with a loud bang because many parts were missing, and it was actually empty inside.

"I'll seal it." Xingba pulled out the tentacles from King Kong's head, came to the pile of armor, stretched out his hand, and endless black mud oozed out from his palm, submerging the armor.

After a while, the black mud faded away, and the black armor in front of them became tattered, like an antique from hundreds of years ago, old and lusterless, and the wild sword also became rusty.

"Old things should look like old things." Xingba Rang nodded: "Okay, the seal is complete. This guy shouldn't move for a while. We have to find the room where the shikigami is stored before it breaks the seal. We can't give them a chance to recover."

Qian Xiaoyi told them that as long as they were in the Yellow Springs House, these Shikigami would be immortal. Their bodies were hidden in a special cemetery room, which must be destroyed to prevent them from reappearing.

"The talisman is responding." Xingchang's eyes lit up and he took out the talisman Qian Xiaoyi gave them. In the distance, another identical talisman appeared from the wall and a new door appeared.

He and King Kong walked over there, and Xingchang Rang said, "The cemetery behind this should be the one Xiaoyi mentioned."

"It's really hard..." King Kong tore open his tattered shirt, tore it into strips, and tied them to the wound on his arm. He said breathlessly: "Just this one shikigami can make us so tired. Fortunately, there is only one. If there are more of the same level, we are afraid that we will fail here."

As the sliding door was opened, Xingchang was shocked, and then said: "King Kong, do you want to learn divination or something? I think you have a talent..."

"What do you mean?" King Kong raised his head and looked into the room.

It was a huge space. A cemetery appeared before his eyes, with ghost lights floating in the air. However, even though the room was so huge, it was not empty. Instead, it seemed a bit crowded.

Because a huge skeleton had filled their field of vision. It was a skeleton that was several stories high. The skeleton was wearing a cloth curtain with the Ashiya family logo painted on it. Only the upper body was visible, while the lower body was buried in the soil. There were faint green flames flickering in the eye sockets behind the cloth curtain on its face. It just stared at the two outsiders. It was hard to imagine how tall this guy would be if he emerged completely from the soil.

In addition to it, there were many shikigami who looked no weaker than the great swordsman standing in the room, looking at them in various shapes.

"The Wild Skull, the Train, the Flying Head Barbarian, the Kamaitachi, the Wheel of Life..." Xing Chang listed the names of these Shikigami like the back of his hand. He sighed, "They are all legendary monsters. As expected of the Ashiya family..."

King Kong shouted, "Is this the time to admire us? We can't defeat so many of them!"

"Don't worry." Xingchang Rang said, "The reason why these are Shikigami is because they are controlled by the Onmyoji. Each of these monsters is not easy to deal with, so even the Onmyoji can't mobilize them all at once. Generally speaking, the Onmyoji can only summon a fixed number at a time, otherwise they will be backfired because of the lack of control... Only in the room where these Shikigami are placed can they move freely." "Isn't that here!" King Kong shouted, "Those monsters seem to have discovered us! They are coming towards us! What should we do?"

"It's up to me now." Xingchang Rang said with a smile, "I'm not coming empty-handed this time, but before that, can you help me block it?"

King Kong took a deep breath and said, "I understand. I can still do it if I just hold out for a while."

He glanced at the big wooden box that Xingchangrang was carrying. He had been very concerned about this thing before. Now that Xingchangrang was finally going to take out the best thing in the box, he was also very curious.

"Anyway, let me stop those guys first." King Kong turned his head, golden flames bursting out of his body, and ran towards those monsters and shikigami.

Xingchang Rang put down the box, removed the seal on it, and said nostalgically: "Every family has a treasure~ I'm counting on you, don't let others outshine you..."

Bang! King Kong was slapped back by the huge skeleton. He fell heavily on the ground next to Xingchang and turned around and shouted, "Mr. Xingchang, I can't beat them!"

"Don't worry, it will be ready soon." Xingchang Rang said, looking at the box.

The box was placed vertically on the ground, and it was not an ordinary style. There was no lid at all. Xingchang found the mechanism. He pried open the latch, and then lifted a piece of wood upwards. The side of the box facing the Shikigami was immediately opened.

If this could be called a wooden box before, then its style changed after the wooden board was lifted. After seeing what was inside, it would be more appropriate to call it a [shrine] rather than a wooden box.

"Great Abbot!" Xingchangrang shouted, "Now that the seal has been broken, there are so many demons in front of you. This is your chance to become a Buddha. Suppress these evildoers!"

Inside the shrine, there was a dried corpse wearing a cassock and a pointed monk's hat. The corpse was sitting cross-legged in the shrine, holding a rosary in its hand. It seemed to have opened its eyes and saw the monsters and demons outside.

As if subconsciously, the mummy's mouth moved, and unrecognizable obscure scriptures came out of it. A mixture of black and gold light continued to spread from the shrine, covering anything that was illuminated like a fungal blanket, causing the bodies of those shikigami to stiffen.

"If you don't want to be saved by the Great Monk, stay away." Xingba Rang pulled up King Kong, looked at the center of the cemetery, and said: "The Great Monk should be able to suppress these shikigami. Before the Great Monk's mental power is exhausted, these shikigami will no longer be able to support Ashiya Yoshisuke."

King Kong breathed a sigh of relief. He dusted himself off, sat on the ground, and said, "I don't see Xiaoju here either. Does that mean our mission is accomplished?"

"Hmm." Xingchang Rang said, "Let's look at the other two sides next. I wonder how the others are doing."
