Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

Originally, the person frozen by Togo Miyoko's magic would become extremely fragile. Not to mention Fujita's iron fist, even an ordinary person with a hammer could easily break them.

However, at this moment, in order to dispel the chill, Li Xin, after successfully cultivating the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill," activated the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" at full power for the first time, allowing it to rampage through his body, even at the cost of damaging his meridians. When Fujita threw a punch at Li Xin, he was directly blasted away by Li Xin's protective "Wedding Dress Divine Skill."

Besides sending himself flying, Fujita's punch also caused a trickle of blood from the corner of Togo Miyoko's mouth, who was performing the spell. Fujita's punch had not only failed to injure Li Xin, but had almost shattered Li Xin's frozen state, causing Togo Miyoko to suffer some backlash as well.

Damn it, where did this bodyguard get such profound skills!

Miyoko Togo harbored deep resentment.

Logically speaking, the accumulation of internal strength is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires years of persistent practice to achieve results. Moreover, the practice of internal strength is extremely tedious. Young people are impetuous and often find it difficult to calm down and practice internal strength diligently. Therefore, their internal strength is generally shallow. Only when they reach middle age and their minds have matured will they understand the importance of internal strength and be willing to calm down and work hard to cultivate it.

But Li Xin looks to be only in his early twenties, not even thirty. How could he possess internal strength that others might not be able to achieve even after twenty or thirty years of hard training? This isn't martial arts!

Little did Togo Miyoko know that Li Xin's "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" was not only one of the most profound and mysterious internal skills in the world, but also, because the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" did not allow for any laziness once it was started, Li Xin's ten years of practice of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" was equivalent to more than twenty or even thirty years of hard work by others in practicing internal skills.

Watching the ice blocks in front of her continuously melting under the full power of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill," Togo Miyoko hardened her heart and formed another hand seal. Instantly, a deep purple aura surged from the ground, gathering towards Togo Miyoko and greatly invigorating her. At the same time, the ice blocks on Li Xin's body, which were about to melt, quickly reformed and even became thicker.

Damn it, it took me more than half of the Yin energy of this pure Yin corpse-nurturing ground to suppress you. Now I don't know how long it will take to restore this corpse-nurturing ground to its original state.

Miyoko Togo thought bitterly to herself, but soon she became happy again.

Li Xin cultivates the ultimate Yang internal energy. After completely freezing Li Xin, burying him in this corpse-raising ground for refining might turn him into an unprecedented Yang corpse!

The walking corpses were all made using yin-attribute strange techniques, and naturally feared the yang internal force. So, although Togo Miyoko had raised a lot of walking corpses in this pure yin corpse-raising ground, she did not release them to deal with Li Xin, and only kept Fujita.

Besides the pure Yang internal energy, there are many other things that walking corpses fear. However, if Togo Miyoko could refine Li Xin, who possesses pure Yang internal energy, into a walking corpse, she might be able to create a powerful walking corpse without any weaknesses. This greatly tempted Togo Miyoko, and even lessened her hatred for Li Xin.

Consider yourself lucky; I won't tear you to pieces this time.

"I'm smiling," said Togo Miyoko. Then, her eyes widened suddenly. The ice that had been firmly sealing Li Xin suddenly cracked and expanded rapidly. Before Togo Miyoko could continue to draw the remaining half of the Yin energy from the Pure Yin Corpse Nourishing Ground to strengthen her spell, a figure wreathed in flames broke through the ice and punched Togo Miyoko.

Fujita sensed danger to his boss and leaped up with his remaining leg to block Togo Miyoko's path. Fujita's body, which was harder than iron under the influence of forbidden techniques, was shattered into pieces by a single punch and died instantly without even uttering a sound.

Li Xin, having broken through the ice, stood before Togo Miyoko and said in a calm tone, "Are you ready to die?"

With an incredulous look, Togo Miyoko stared at Li Xin, whose body was wreathed in internal energy that resembled tangible flames, and cried out hoarsely, "Impossible! Fujita already has an indestructible body, how could you possibly kill him!"

Nothing is impossible.

Li Xin replied that in the face of the power of the eighth level of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill", there is no such thing as an "indestructible body". Even a body of real steel would be as fragile as a clay sculpture!

Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Peerless Good Person

With Fujita dead, there is no longer any barrier between Togo Miyoko and Li Xin, which is the most fatal thing for a sorcerer.

Although Togo Miyoko was not the kind of weak sorcerer who knew nothing about martial arts except magic, on the contrary, her martial arts skills were actually quite good. However, in front of Li Xin, such skills were not something to be laughed at. Therefore, Togo Miyoko decisively chose to retreat, preparing to abandon her stronghold and flee back to Japan.

The thought of having to give up all the territory and businesses she had painstakingly built was heartbreaking for Togo Miyoko. But businesses could be rebuilt, but if she lost her life, she would truly have nothing left. Togo Miyoko knew better than anyone what she should protect in this situation.

Togo Miyoko retreated swiftly. She had trained as a ninja and was extremely fast. However, all of this was meaningless in front of Li Xin, who had broken through to the eighth level of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill". Togo Miyoko had only taken two steps when she felt a pain in her back.

Looking down at the fist emerging from her chest, Togo Miyoko coughed up blood. Her life force was draining away from her body. Soon, Togo Miyoko's once lustrous skin began to lose moisture, becoming dry and wrinkled. Her jet-black hair turned snow-white in an instant, making her look like she was only in her early twenties. The beautiful and charming Togo Miyoko had transformed into an ugly, even terrifying, old woman in a short time. And this was the true appearance of the alluring and beautiful leader of the "Nine Chrysanthemums Sect".

She had cultivated for countless years, using evil magic to preserve her appearance, but when the magic was broken, her true appearance was revealed.

I'm not reconciled... After years of arduous training, I survived the reckoning of defeat and the pursuit of the Yin-Yang Path, only to fall at the hands of a bodyguard with no reputation whatsoever. I'm so unwilling to accept this!

In her final moments, Togo Miyoko let out a defiant cry before her body gradually turned to ashes. This was the price she paid for practicing evil magic; after transforming her body into something neither human nor ghost, she lost the right to die like a human being.

With Fujita and Togo Miyoko eliminated, Li Xin's mission was complete. The flames enveloping his body gradually died down, and he became increasingly weak.

In the frozen state, Li Xin had no choice but to force his way through to protect himself, breaking through the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" to the eighth level.

For Li Xin, breaking through to the eighth level of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" was not difficult. In fact, if he hadn't suppressed it so much, he should have broken through to the eighth level at least a year ago.

However, due to the characteristics of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill", Li Xin had to suppress the breakthrough of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" - the seventh level had already led Li Xin to his death, who knew if the eighth level would kill him on the spot.

Li Xin was forced to confront Togo Miyoko's relentless pressure. He knew very well the choice between the possibility of dying soon and the certainty of dying immediately. So he stopped suppressing the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" and broke through to the eighth level while still frozen in ice.

The power of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" at the eighth level was several times greater than at the seventh level. The ice-sealing technique that had previously immobilized Li Xin was instantly broken through, and neither Fujita nor Togo Miyoko were a match for Li Xin.

However, such power comes at a price.

When Li Xin circulated his internal energy, the violent "Wedding Dress True Qi" raged through his body, causing severe damage to his internal organs and meridians. Even when Li Xin stopped circulating his internal energy, the "Wedding Dress True Qi" continued to slowly harm him.

Before long, Li Xin's skin began to crack, and blood stained his entire body red—just like a balloon that bursts after being filled with too much gas. The "Wedding Dress True Qi" in Li Xin's body had also exceeded the limit he could withstand, and Li Xin felt like he was about to explode.

Li Xin, who was not seriously injured in the battles against Fujita and Togo Miyoko, is now covered in blood due to the "Wedding Dress True Qi" within his body.

Outside the villa, Hiroji Ueyama waited anxiously. He didn't know if Li Xin could defeat Miyoko Togo, but he had no other choice but to trust Li Xin.

Holding a short knife in his hand, Hiroji Ueyama murmured, "Mr. Oshin, if anything happens to you, I, Ueyama, will have no face to live on and will commit seppuku to atone for my sins!"

Everything started because Ueyama Hiroji wanted to avenge his father. Whether it was Ko Chun being in danger or Li Xin venturing into the lion's den, Ueyama Hiroji was the instigator.

Of course, he could also choose to surrender to Togo Miyoko and join the "Kuju faction." In this way, Gao Jin would be out of danger, Li Xin would not need to risk his life, and even the life of "Gambling King" Chen Jincheng would be at the mercy of Ueyama Hiroji.

However, Ueyama Hiroji was raised with the most traditional Japanese samurai education. Japanese samurai would rather die than surrender. If Ueyama Hiroji had to choose a way to break the deadlock, he would rather choose to commit seppuku. In this way, Togo Miyoko would have no reason to continue to pursue Gao Jin, and Li Xin would have no employer and could choose to protect himself without having to get involved in this mess.

No, seppuku is too humiliating. Even if I die, I will show that vixen the spirit of the men of the Shangshan family!

Hiroji Ueyama looked down at the short knife in his hand, got out of the car, and prepared to storm the villa and fight that vixen, Miyoko Togo.

Just as Hiroji Ueyama was about to rush into the villa, a blood-soaked figure emerged from the main house. Upon seeing Hiroji Ueyama, the figure swayed a few times and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Ueyama Hiroji recognized the bloodied man as Li Xin and immediately became anxious: "Mr. Xin, how are you? Are you alright!"

He rushed over and helped up Li Xin, who was covered in blood, shaking him violently in an attempt to confirm whether Li Xin was alive or dead.

Li Xin opened his eyes briefly, but quickly closed them again.

"Hospital! Quickly take Mr. Ashin to the hospital!"

Hiroji Ueyama shouted at the driver in the car.

The driver immediately got out of the car and, together with Hiroji Ueyama, carried Li Xin into the car.

At this moment, Li Xin regained some consciousness. He grabbed Ueyama Hiroji's hand and said in an extremely weak voice, "Don't go to the hospital, go to the Elite Center... the general store... Oni King Da..."

After saying this, Li Xin finally couldn't hold on any longer and completely fainted.

"Mr. Ashin!"

....................................

When Li Xin woke up again, he saw a pitch-black ceiling. Seeing how dirty the ceiling was, Li Xin immediately felt relieved. It seemed that Ueyama Hiroji hadn't acted on his own and had really sent him to Ghost King Da.

Li Xin tried to get out of bed, but he was in so much pain that he fell back onto the bed.

"Lie still! Don't you know your condition? How dare you move around like that!"

Ghost King Da's voice came. He looked at Li Xin with an expression of anger at his lack of ambition, shook his head, helped Li Xin up, and fed him a bowl of dark liquid that emitted a disgusting smell... well, let's call it medicine for now.

Li Xin forced himself to drink the medicine while feeling nauseous. After finishing, he asked Ghost King Da, "Uncle Da, what is this?"

Ghost King Da said expressionlessly, "The medicine I had left over from treating my injuries has been sitting for a few years. I don't know if it's expired or not, but don't worry, it doesn't matter even if it is. Anyway, you don't have many days left to live."

"Oh."

Li Xin remained calm in response to Gui Wangda's words, showing no sign of the sky falling down.

After all, he had already prepared himself for this when he reached the seventh level of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill". Even though he later learned the internal energy cultivation method from Zhen Yuanzhai, which could barely eliminate the hidden dangers of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill", Li Xin knew very well that with the characteristic of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" that forced people to practice, he would eventually break through to the eighth level. When that time came, he would still be doomed.

Now that day has come, and I've already made a lot of money, so overall it was worth it.

Seeing that Li Xin only replied with a bland "Oh", Ghost King Da couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

Li Xin thought for a moment, then said, "Uncle Da, I'm sorry I can't pay for your medicine."

"Dream on! You'll pay for the medicine whether you like it or not. Even if I have to sell your organs, I'll still get the money back from you!"

Ghost King Da spoke sternly, but Li Xin just smiled and didn't reply.

Seeing that Li Xin hadn't been fooled by his superb acting skills, Ghost King Da shook his head and said to Li Xin, "You should rest well first. I'll think of a way to deal with your injuries..."

He didn't actually believe his own words. He had already examined Li Xin's injuries, and they were so severe that even a god would shake his head in disbelief. How could he possibly come up with a cure just by thinking about it?

Li Xin smiled and said, "Forget it. My internal organs are damaged and my eight meridians are injured. My injuries are much more serious than yours, Uncle Da. You can't even heal yourself, how can you heal me?"

He had always feared this day, but when it finally arrived, Li Xin felt at ease.

Li Xin knew exactly what was going on with him. When he broke through the eighth level of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill," his internal organs and meridians were burned by the "Wedding Dress True Qi." Although it was not visible on the outside, his internal organs and meridians had actually been severely damaged, and his life could be said to have officially entered the countdown. He had known this for a long time. He did not expect Ghost King Da to cure him when he asked Uesugi Hiroji to bring him to the Elite Center. Instead, he hoped to have a period of lucidity before he died so that he could arrange his affairs after death.

However, Ghost King Da couldn't stand Li Xin's behavior. He shouted, "Young man, what nonsense are you talking about? You're only a few years old, you have plenty of time ahead of you. How can you just die like this! I'll go find my old friends and we'll think of a way to cure you!"

He then limped towards the outside, and it was unclear what he was going to do.

After Uncle Da left, Li Xin struggled to lift his head and looked at his current condition. His body was wrapped up like a mummy, no wonder he couldn't move at all.

"Oshin!"

He Jinyin sneaked in from outside. Before closing the door, he looked outside to make sure no one was there. Then he went to the bedside, smiled, and took out a small porcelain bottle.

"Ah-Xin, look what this is!"

He Jinyin smiled and waved the porcelain bottle in his hand in front of Li Xin.

Li Xin's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but say, "Isn't this the elixir I gave to Uncle Da on behalf of Master Zhen Yuanzhai? You haven't taken it yet?"

He Jinyin chuckled, "Uncle Da said this elixir can heal my hidden injuries. I thought, I still have so much training to do, if I take it beforehand, won't the hidden injuries I develop during training be impossible to heal? So I planned to wait until before the competition to take it. But right now, Ah Xin, you need this medicine more than I do. Here, take it and get better!"

As he spoke, He Jinyin took out the pills from the porcelain bottle and held them to Li Xin's mouth, trying to feed him. However, Li Xin kept his mouth tightly shut and refused to eat.

This is a miraculous medicine that Zhen Yuanzhai found for Ghost King Da. Its effects may be very strong and it may be good for Li Xin's injuries. However, Li Xin knows that this medicine is definitely not enough to fully heal his injuries. So even if he takes it, it will only allow Li Xin to live a little longer. In that case, why should Li Xin waste this medicine on himself?

He Jinyin will face a life-or-death battle in a few days, and he needs the help of this pill even more than Li Xin.

"Ah-Xin, be good, you're a grown-up now, you can't be afraid of taking medicine! This medicine isn't bitter, it's sweet and delicious, I promise!"

He Jinyin coaxed Li Xin into believing the pills very well. If Li Xin were a child, he might have actually taken them. But the problem was that Li Xin didn't refuse the pills because they were bitter.

He Jinyin tried to force Li Xin to speak several times, but Li Xin refused. He had no choice but to give up and sighed, "Xin, you're really something, afraid of taking medicine."

Li Xin smiled faintly and said, "I'm not..."

"There's a flaw!"

In the blink of an eye, He Jinyin shoved the pill into Li Xin's mouth the instant Li Xin opened his mouth, then grabbed the water glass from the bedside and shoved water down Li Xin's throat.

"Yes! I did it!"

After He Jinyin forced the pill into Li Xin's stomach, he jumped up excitedly. Anyone who didn't know the situation would think that He Jinyin had gotten rid of some huge trouble.

"Ah Yin, you..."

Li Xin looked at He Jinyin with an extremely complicated expression.

This pill will only prolong Li Xin's life, but it is He Jinyin's hope for survival!

The pill was very potent; Li Xin felt his whole body start to itch as soon as he swallowed it.

Li Xin himself has a strong self-healing ability. Apart from the internal damage caused by the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill", any external injury, no matter how serious, will heal overnight. Therefore, Li Xin has a wealth of experience in the rapid healing of wounds.

His whole body was itchy, which was a sign that the cracks in his skin were healing quickly, and the bandages on his body would probably be removed soon.

"Ah-Xin, are you feeling any better?"

He Jinyin asked Li Xindao.

What could Li Xin say? He could only nod and say, "Ah Yin, thank you."

He Jinyin saved Li Xin when he was unconscious. He hadn't even repaid the previous favor yet, and now he owed He Jinyin another favor. How could Li Xin feel at ease?

Silently pondering how to repay He Jinyin, Li Xin gradually made a decision.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: Transmission of Skill

With the help of the pills given to him by He Jinyin, Li Xin was able to get out of bed not long afterward, but that was all he could do.

Li Xin's external injuries have all healed, but the problem is that the root of his injury lies in his internal injuries, which are beyond the scope of ordinary medicines.

Stepping outside, He Jinyin was training. Seeing Li Xin come out, he naively assumed that Li Xin was already recovered and went up to him, saying, "Ah Xin, you're all better now?"

Li Xin smiled and said nothing, but asked He Jinyin, "Ayin, how confident are you in the duel a few days from now?"

He Jinyin's smile turned awkward, then into a bitter laugh: "You ask me how many points I have... I actually don't have a single point."

Who is he? He has long been mired in the lowest rungs of society, a food delivery worker with no money, no house, no car, and no prospects.

His opponent was the senior disciple of the famous Japanese karate school "Dan Shui Liu," an elite returnee with superb martial arts skills. To be honest, if He Jin Yin hadn't known the despicable and shameless nature of the senior disciple of "Dan Shui Liu" and knew that he was not a good match, He Jin Yin would actually have hidden in a corner and silently wished him and Ali a long and happy life together.

Li Xin asked He Jinyin how confident he was in a duel with his worthless life against the promising "Broken Water Flow" senior brother. Of course, he had none at all.

But soon, He Jinyin became serious: "Even if I have no chance at all, I will never give up. When there is something in the world that only you can do, if you don't do it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
