Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

When "Black Dragon" saw "Little Snack" come up to him and even scratch his itch, he was overjoyed and reached out his claws to grab Iori Yagami again.

"Use the Eight-Foot Jade Curved Jewel!"

Chizuru Kagura reminded him, and although Iori Yagami was reluctant, he did as she said.

The Yasakani no Magatama hanging around his neck disappeared into Iori Yagami's body. After merging with the sacred artifact, Iori Yagami's power greatly increased. At the same time, crimson flames ignited from his hands, and a move called "Oni-yaki" struck the "Black Dragon's" claw from below.

Surprisingly, this time Iori Yagami's flames were not deflected, but instead blasted open the "black dragon's" claws.

"really."

When Chizuru Kagura saw that Iori Yagami's flames were no longer restrained by the "Black Dragon," she immediately understood.

Each time the "Black Dragon" deflects an attack, the patterns on its body flash. Its deflecting ability should be a kind of magic, and a very high-level one at that, at least close to the near-divine level, or even close to the near-divine level.

In the realm of magic, the concept of rank is an unavoidable theory. Higher ranks always crush lower ranks, and the spells of higher ranks can only be countered by spells of the same or even higher ranks.

Previously, Hayabusa Ryu said that only the Dragon Sword could break through the "Black Dragon's" scales, but this was actually incorrect. The accurate statement is that only divine artifacts or near-divine spells can be unaffected by the reflected spells on the "Black Dragon's" scales.

Although Iori Yagami's flames were no longer reflected, they still failed to harm the "Black Dragon".

This is normal. The power of the artifact only prevents Iori Yagami's attacks from being countered by the reflective magic on the "Black Dragon's" scales, but it does not affect the "Black Dragon's" own defense. Having absorbed more than 20,000 sacrifices, the "Black Dragon" is the strongest in terms of power, speed, and defense in all generations of "Black Dragons," and is even approaching the state of the "Black Dragon" in its previous life.

Its black scales make it immune to all energy attacks. Apart from divine artifacts, only the purest physical attacks can harm it. However, the "Black Dragon's" scales also have extremely strong physical defense capabilities, so in the realm of the extraordinary, it is almost an unsolvable problem.

After testing the "Black Dragon's" ability to bounce back, Chizuru Kagura raised the Yata Mirror and swept its light across the "Black Dragon." As expected, the "Black Dragon" did not react at all.

"The only way to deal with the 'Black Dragon' is through physical attacks. Miss Kagura, please step aside!"

Hayabusa reminded Chizuru Kagura.

Because Chizuru Kagura always used the methods of a sorcerer, Ryu Hayabusa assumed that Chizuru Kagura was a sorcerer. However, the abilities of a sorcerer were almost useless against the "Black Dragon," who had extremely high resistance to sorcery, and physical attacks would have been more effective.

Kagura Chizuru did not answer. Suddenly, the Yata Mirror emitted a strong light, and then a huge figure appeared out of thin air. It was a black dragon that looked exactly like the "Black Dragon".

"Go! Attack!"

After Kagura Chizuru gave the order, her body suddenly felt weak, and she knelt on one knee.

The power of this "black dragon" was too great. Even though she was already an extraordinary powerhouse and had used the power of the Yata Mirror to create a replica of it, it still exhausted all her power, leaving her with no strength to fight anymore.

Under Chizuru Kagura's command, the "Black Dragon" mirror image charged towards the "Black Dragon" without hesitation. The "Black Dragon" showed a clear displeasure on its face and roared at the mirror image.

"Go to hell, you imposter!"

The "black dragon" suddenly pounced on the mirror image and began to tear at it.

The mirror image possessed considerable power, but it was only one-third the strength of the real "Black Dragon." After a brief struggle with the "Black Dragon," it was quickly torn apart. However, once the mirror image was shattered, the "Black Dragon" suddenly let out a shrill cry, and its body cracked to varying degrees, resembling a broken mirror.

"Now's the time to act!"

"Chizuru Kagura shouted."

Iori Yagami unleashed his long-awaited "Eight Wine Cups," which struck the "Black Dragon" and immobilized it.

Ryu Hayabusa followed closely behind, unleashing the four ultimate techniques of "Mumei Shinpu-ryu": "Azure Dragon," "Vermilion Bird," "White Tiger," and "Black Tortoise," attacking "Black Dragon" from four directions simultaneously, converging into the strongest ultimate technique of "Mumei Shinpu-ryu," "Yellow Dragon"!

A golden beam of light shot down from the sky, filled with a sacred and powerful aura, and landed directly on the "Black Dragon".

Meanwhile, Li Xin drew his sword and unleashed the "Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique" with the strongest power he had ever possessed. A crack, invisible to the naked eye, appeared to rip the sky apart.

The three powerful moves were used simultaneously, accurately striking the "Black Dragon" and causing it to scream in agony.

Kyo Kusanagi limped up behind Chizuru Kagura. The "Black Dragon's" tail had broken two of his ribs, almost killing him.

"That's it? I'm done with it?"

Kyo Kusanagi looked at the "black dragon" struggling in the bright light and said.

"Regardless of whether it's over or not, without the divine artifact, you are destined to be unable to participate in this battle."

Kagura Chizuru said calmly.

Possessing a divine artifact, or equivalent power, is the minimum requirement to participate in this battle.

Without magical artifacts, there are no human rights!

Kyo Kusanagi muttered to himself, thinking that he would bring the Kusanagi sword with him when he returned.

Iori Yagami and Ryu Hayabusa were both panting heavily. That last move had exhausted most of their strength, but the result was gratifying.

The beam of light drawn by the "Yellow Dragon" dissipated, and the "Black Dragon's" enormous body remained suspended in the air, but its black scales showed many cracks, as if they would shatter at any moment.

Iori Yagami gathered flames again, and Ryu Hayabusa raised his Dragon Sword, ready to press on and take down the "Black Dragon"—the most troublesome thing about the "Black Dragon" was its black scales, which were almost immune to energy attacks and had extremely strong resistance to physical attacks. Now that the black scales were about to break, the "Black Dragon" would be easier to deal with.

Suddenly, the "black dragon" let out a huge roar, and the strange patterns on its black scales flashed. The broken black scales kept falling off, and new black scales grew back. The whole dragon became shiny and seemed to have become much more energetic.

The "black dragon" shook its body, removing the scales and debris clinging to it. It opened its mouth, releasing puffs of white steam, and its pale eyes began to emit a light that instilled fear in people from the bottom of their hearts.

It's like... someone with a really bad temper when they wake up gets beaten up while they're still half asleep, and then they wake up.

Indeed, it was only at this moment that the "Black Dragon" truly awoke from its "confused period" of resurrection. Before, it acted more on instinct, but now, its destructive consciousness has officially revived.

The "Black Dragon" coldly stared at the few small ants on the ground, causing Kagura Chizuru and the others to feel a chill in their hearts.

This is a gaze that completely treats humanity as an enemy, with no possibility of communication whatsoever.

Li Xin looked at the "black dragon" whose aura had clearly become stronger and breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't that easy to solve after all...

During the final assault, he didn't use "Boundless Buddhist Power" for one reason: "Boundless Buddhist Power" is a technique that uses the energy of heaven and earth to attack, while the "Black Dragon" has extremely high resistance to energy attacks. To break through its black scales, it would be better to use the more concentrated "Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique".

Another reason is that Li Xin is worried that even if the three of them join forces, they will not be able to defeat the "Black Dragon". After using "Boundless Buddhist Power", Li Xin's strength will be greatly reduced in a short period of time. If they cannot kill the "Black Dragon" in one blow, then they will have no ability to resist.

It now seems that Li Xin's concerns were justified. In other words, Li Xin will have to resort to his last resort, and before that, he must find a way to change the battlefield.

"Kusanagi, you protect them and retreat first. I'll deal with this 'black dragon'."

Li Xin addressed Kusanagi Kyodo.

Besides him, Kyo Kusanagi was the only one with the most remaining strength, as only he could protect Chizuru Kagura and the others.

Be careful.

At this critical moment, Kyo Kusanagi showed some consideration and didn't act aggressively. He protected Chizuru Kagura and the others as they left.

When the "Black Dragon" saw that the insects that had been harassing it for so long were about to run away, it was not about to let them go. It was about to rush up and kill them, but suddenly it was pulled back by a huge force. When it turned its head, it saw a golden man holding its tail tightly.

"Where are you going? Our game is just about to begin!"

Li Xin, transformed into a golden man, grabbed the "black dragon's" tail and slammed it hard to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

The "Black Dragon," a colossal creature fifteen meters tall, with a tail twenty meters long and a body exceeding thirty meters in length, was thrown over the shoulder by a tiny human whose knee didn't even reach its knee, creating a giant crater in the ground.

But Li Xin's actions were not over yet. He pulled the "Black Dragon" up again, and once was not enough. He slammed the "Black Dragon" to the ground three times to the left and three times to the right, causing the entire Tokyo metropolis to feel strong tremors.

Not satisfied with smashing it, Li Xin simply threw the "Black Dragon" on the ground, then jumped on it and began to punch it repeatedly.

"I don't care if you're a dragon or not, I'll beat you into an insect!"

Li Xin punched "Black Dragon" repeatedly in the face.

"Black Dragon" felt stunned by the attack, and Kagura Chizuru, Kusanagi Kyo, Yagami Iori, and Hayabusa Ryu were also dumbfounded.

Is this...is this even human?

Chapter 679 Dragon Battle in the Wilderness

Li Xin slammed the "Black Dragon" to the ground with hundreds of punches, each one powerful and heavy, but for the "Black Dragon," this was not enough to cause real damage. It was completely stunned by Li Xin's punches, after all, in its understanding, how could a human have such great strength!

When the "black dragon" finally realized what was happening, it was furious and embarrassed—it had actually been beaten to the ground by a human!

The enraged "black dragon" flapped its wings, swatting Li Xin away from its back. Then it stood upright, clenched its claws into fists, and punched Li Xin.

"The Iron Fist of the Black Dragon"!

As soon as Li Xin, who had transformed into a golden man, landed, he saw the iron fist coming and, instead of dodging, raised his fist to face the "black dragon" head-on.

The two, one human and one dragon, exchanged several punches, creating a deafening roar like a temple bell striking a bell. Even the extraordinary experts like Kagura Chizuru felt a pain in their eardrums, and the sound echoed throughout the entire Tokyo.

With a deafening roar, Li Xin and "Black Dragon" separated.

The ground caved in, and Li Xin was knocked three feet into the ground, while the "Black Dragon" was also knocked dozens of meters into the air, flapping its wings several times before it could stop its momentum.

In this clash of strength, the man and the dragon were evenly matched!

Wow, that's incredible!

Kyo Kusanagi was shocked.

The "Black Dragon" was as big as a small mountain, yet Li Xin was able to fight it hand-to-hand with it on equal terms. This was simply incredible.

"That's really powerful!"

Kagura Chizuru looked at Li Xin's muscular upper body (he had taken off his shirt to avoid damaging his combat suit) and couldn't help but swallow hard.

Although Hayabusa was also shocked by Li Xin's power, he was not optimistic.

Li Xin (in his "Golden Man Form") is indeed very strong, and his defense is invincible. However, Li Xin is still human and has limited stamina. On the other hand, the power of a monster like the "Black Dragon" is virtually limitless. If Li Xin cannot break through the "Black Dragon's" defense, he will not be able to truly defeat the "Black Dragon" and will instead be devoured by the "Black Dragon" after exhausting his stamina.

What Hayabusa Ryu knows, Li Xin naturally knows even better.

After transforming into a golden man, Li Xin's pure physical attack increased more than threefold, but even so, he could not break through the black scales of the "Black Dragon". Li Xin understood that the "Black Dragon" could not do anything to him after transforming into a golden man, and he could not do anything to the "Black Dragon".

However, Li Xin had anticipated this. He did not use the "Invincible Vajra Divine Skill" to defeat the "Black Dragon" but had other purposes.

The "Black Dragon" was sent flying into the sky by Li Xin, its wings flapping as it swooped down towards him—it refused to believe that it could really lose to a mere human!

"Black Dragon's Wing Attack!"

Seeing the "black dragon" charging towards him, Li Xin thought to himself, "Well done!" Just as the "black dragon" was charging, he slashed at its wing, which was as sharp as a knife, and deflected the diving "black dragon," causing it to change direction and fly away into the distance.

After entering the Golden Man state, Li Xin's true energy could not leave his body, nor could he mobilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth. This did indeed cause Li Xin to lose many means of attack, but it also allowed Li Xin to reach the realm of "perfect and unhindered" use of force. Skillful techniques such as "transferring flowers and connecting jade" became even more vivid and effective.

The "black dragon's" descent was so swift and powerful, yet it was somehow transformed by the "transfer of flowers and jade."

After throwing the "Black Dragon" away, Li Xin picked up the long box that he had placed on the ground, bent his knees, and pushed off with all his might. Like a cannonball being launched, he flew diagonally into the air, leaving only a huge crater on the ground.

After being thrown away by the "Flower-Shifting Jade" technique, the "Black Dragon" finally reacted after flying a distance. It flapped its wings to brake suddenly and turned around to try to turn back. However, the "Golden Man" cannonball hit the "Black Dragon" directly in the abdomen, propelling the "Black Dragon" further in a certain direction.

The "black dragon" was hit in the abdomen, and it's fortunate that it doesn't have a digestive system, otherwise it might have vomited its stomach out.

The man and the dragon "flew" to a forest on the outskirts of Tokyo before their momentum gradually stopped and they fell from the sky.

Fortunately, both Li Xin and "Black Dragon" possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities. After falling to their feet, they didn't even feel dizzy for a moment.

After Li Xin got up, he immediately exited the Golden Man state and then used "Thunder and Lightning Shake the Mist" to draw upon the power of the Nine Heavens to infuse his body.

Seeing that Li Xin had exited his "Golden Man Form" and was beginning to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth, the "Black Dragon" immediately revealed a mocking expression.

If its defense against physical attacks is 100, then its defense against energy attacks is 1,000 or even 10,000. Li Xin's "Golden Man Form" could not even break through its black scales, and lightning attacks could only serve as its supplement.

So the "Black Dragon" didn't attack, letting Li Xin absorb the power of the Nine Heavens, and then waited for Li Xin to "feed" it.

However, after absorbing the power of the Nine Heavens into himself, Li Xin did not release it, but instead directly stopped "Thunder and Lightning Shake the Mist".

"Don't misunderstand, this move 'Shaking Mist' is not used to attack you, but to replenish my depleted internal energy."

Li Xin ignored whether the "black dragon" could understand him and continued talking to himself.

After absorbing the extraordinary power of the "He Shi Bi", Li Xin's meridian strength and the speed of true qi circulation have greatly improved, and his internal strength has become more profound. Correspondingly, the duration of the "Invincible Vajra Divine Skill" has also greatly increased, and it can now last for up to an hour.

However, entering the "Golden Man Form" requires a lot of internal energy. Even though Li Xin only used it for a short while before exiting, the loss of internal energy was still quite significant. In order to prepare for the upcoming battle, Li Xin needs to restore himself to his best condition.

Having reached a state of perfect readiness, Li Xin placed the long box on the ground and said with focused concentration, "'Tiger Soul'!"

The long box that Li Xin had always carried but never opened suddenly burst open, revealing the long-awaited "Tiger Soul" battle sword inside.

The "Tiger Soul" was retrieved by Li Xin when he returned to the agency while waiting for the Three-Eyed Old Man. It was an insurance policy for Wuji. In case Wuji was defeated after the "Demon God" was resurrected, Li Xin could use the "Tiger Soul" to deal with the "Demon God".

If we were to say what Li Xin's strongest attack method is, it is not the "Leg, Palm, and Fist" trio, not the "Extinction Emperor Fist," not the "Eight Styles of Famous Swords," not the "Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique," and not even the "Buddha's Palm," but the "Seven Limits" sword technique.

The "Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Destroying Earth" truly lives up to its name, possessing the power to devour heaven and destroy earth. Especially when used in conjunction with the "Tiger Soul," its power is so strong that even Li Xin felt fear.

However, the "Seven Limits" sword technique is too evil and will erode the mind of the practitioner. The "Tiger Soul" is even more so, as it will rebel when it is full. Therefore, Li Xin has never dared to use the "Seven Limits" sword technique and is extremely cautious about using the "Tiger Soul".

However, now, facing the "Black Dragon" which is immune to energy attacks and has extremely strong physical defense capabilities, Li Xin has no other choice but to use "Tiger Soul".

"Meow!"

The "Tiger Soul" sword spirit excitedly emerged from the blade. Looking at the enormous "Black Dragon" that exuded an ominous aura, it felt no fear whatsoever, but instead couldn't help but drool.

It knew very well why Li Xin had sent it out; after waiting for so long, it was finally time for it to eat.

The "Black Dragon" was not a living creature, so it could naturally see the existence of the "Tiger Soul" sword spirit and also noticed the "Tiger Soul" sword spirit's eyes. This kind of eyes, which regarded it as prey... no, as food on a plate, made the "Black Dragon" extremely angry.
