The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 816: Enemy in Honnoji Part 35 ()

The applause stopped and there was silence in Huangquan House. Everyone looked at the short old man, who walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.

Although Shichijo Hiroshi was hunched over and looked so ordinary, even a little unattractive, no one dared to look down on him at this moment.

"Is it Jingde..." Qian Xiaoyi stared at the old man.

Hoshiba opened his mouth and said, "Are you kidding me... Shichijo Hiroshi is Jingde? Then who is this person?"

He looked in Ashin's direction.

"Shadow Warrior." Qian Xiaoyi said slowly, "He is a substitute trained by Jingde. He defies fate and changes destiny. Am I right?"

"Yeah~ I spent a lot of effort to train him." Nanajo Hiroshi said with a smile: "This idiot, I taught him everything, but he was tricked by a junior like you here, what a waste."

Ah Xin said in panic, "I'm sorry, Master Jingde."

"Jingde, it seems that you are very scared." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Because you are afraid that someone will come over there, you are so cautious. Is it to take over someone else's body? The Killing Stone?"

"You even found out this?" Nanajo Hiroshi looked at Qian Xiaoyi in surprise, then nodded and admitted, "This idiot Nanajo Hiroshi was attracted by the future I showed him and wanted to become an immortal monster and live forever in the lair. But he didn't expect that my goal has always been his body."

"The body of an old Japanese man~" Qian Xiaoyi sneered, "He must have been fifty years old at that time, right? Why didn't you find someone younger?"

Nanajo Hiroshi said: "If it weren't for Nanajo Hiroshi's identity, how could I have built such a huge organization in just over a decade? His identity is much more useful than those young people."

"It seems that you have already chosen your target~" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "The real you must have died in that man-made fire a long time ago, right? It is precisely because the real you is dead that no one can find your whereabouts, but this brings up a new question, that is...are you still you, Jingde? Now you are probably just an old man with cognitive disorder. As a cognitive person, you should know what I am talking about, right?"

"You want to discuss philosophy with me?" Jingde smiled and said, "Or maybe you want to confirm my true identity and see if I am the real me or just a substitute like that loser? Well, since you are the descendant of an old friend, I will satisfy you."

His hunched body slowly straightened up, his figure began to grow taller, his white hair turned black, the style of his kimono also changed, the old man slowly walked out of the shadows, his image began to change, and when he appeared in front of people, he had turned into a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a black Taoist robe, a bun on his head, and a goatee.

"If this is not enough to prove my identity..." The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "What about this person?"

After it became like this, in Qian Xiaoyi's eyes, a figure appeared next to the middle-aged Taoist priest that only he and the middle-aged Taoist priest could see.

The shadow of Taoist Lingkong appeared beside the middle-aged Taoist priest, causing Qian Xiaoyi's pupils to shrink suddenly.

"It's him! He is the real Jingde!" Qian Xiaoyi confirmed the identity of this Taoist priest, turned around and shouted: "Hurry up and leave! Take Master Liuliyuan out of the ghost realm!"

Nuhuomaru came to Ruriin Hiroaki's side.

But Hoshiba Rang and Fushigi Yoko didn't move an inch, and Hoshiba Rang said, "King Kong! Take Master Liuliyuan away from here! Miss Yoko and I will stop this guy!"

King Kong also wanted to stay: "Me too..."

Xingba said: "Master Liuliyuan can't fight now, he needs someone to protect him, Kong! Zuo Nuhuomaru leave! Leave this place to us!"

"I understand..." King Kong could only agree.

King Kong carried Liuliyuan on the Nuhuwan and flew away. Jingde just watched them leave with interest, but had no intention of chasing them, as if it was just a trivial matter and there was no need to worry about it. Qian Xiaoyi roared: "All of you get out! You are no match for him! His target is me!"

Hoshiba Ryou and Fushigi Yoko were indifferent. Hoshiba Ryou took out a raccoon leaf and put it on his head, turning it into a crown. He said, "How can we know if we don't try?"

Fushiki Yoko has already got ready, her eyes are sharp, and she will take action as soon as Jingde reveals a flaw.

"It's been a while since I've been in this state." Jingde said to himself with a smile, "I hope you two can hold on a little longer."

He stretched out his hand, and the peach wood sword that originally belonged to Ashin flew into his hand. Jingde made a beautiful sword flower and said, "Let's start."

Hoshiba Rang yelled, "Where are you looking at?!"

Several star fields appeared around, black mud emerged from their bodies and attacked Jingde.

Jingde just took a quick look, then took a step forward and stabbed out. His sword moves were like a dragon emerging from the sea. With one sword, he pierced the star field hidden in the illusion and knocked it out of the void. The star field screamed, and its body bent like a cooked shrimp, and was knocked out by Jingde.

"Well... the peach wood sword still can't kill people..." Jingde muttered, then he performed a sword flower, without looking back, and with a back sword move, he blocked the attack from behind with a clang.

Seeing that her first attack missed, Fushiki Yoko quickly changed her stance and attacked Jingde again.

"As a woman, you are quite skilled." Jingde used the peach wood sword to fight with her nimbly. His movements were easy and freehand, and his footwork was mysterious. With just a few moves, he forced Fushiki Yoko to reveal a flaw, hit Fushiki Yoko's hand, and knocked the demon sword Blood Sakura away.

Jingde put one hand behind his back, placed the peach wood sword across Fushigi Yoko's neck, and said, "If this was a real sword, you would be dead, little girl."

Fushigi Yoko was sweating profusely and didn't dare to act rashly. She seemed to have returned to the time when she was a child and practiced swordsmanship with her swordsmanship master. But the next second, she suddenly jumped up, grabbed the peach wood sword with one hand and pulled it closer, and clenched her other hand into a fist and hit Jingde in the face.

"Don't underestimate women..." Fushigi Yoko yelled, but soon her punch missed and Jingde disappeared in front of her.

"I have never looked down on women..." Jingde said behind her, "But you are not qualified for me to look up to you."

Before Fushiki Yoko turned around, Jingde made a hand gesture and hit Fushiki Yoko on the back.

"Ms. Yoko!" Xingchang Rang covered his chest and shouted while lying on the ground. He felt his body was extremely heavy and the black mud in his body could not flow out. The acupoints that had just been hit by the peach wood sword were aching slightly.

After being hit, Fushigi Yoko felt her body turned upside down. She staggered, then came to her senses and quickly turned around to punch Jingde, but her punch went straight through Jingde's body.

"What?" Fushigi Yoko looked back and was surprised to find another of herself lying on the ground.

"Your mind is unstable, so I'll let you leave your body to calm down." Jingde stepped over Fushigi Yoko's body and walked towards Qian Xiaoyi.

Fushigi Yoko anxiously returned to where her body was, but she couldn't go back.

"All the troublemakers have quieted down, and you are the only one left, Xiao Yi." Jingde said, "You should thank me for not killing them directly. Now, let us, uncle and nephew, have a good chat."
