Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

What "Eight Great Buddhist Soldiers" or "Buddha's Palm"? Compared to my "Seven Limits," they're nothing but trash!

The "Tiger Soul" sword spirit was extremely proud, then suddenly remembered something.

Oh, wait, my flesh and blood!

The spirit of the "Tiger Soul" sword suddenly remembered that while the "Devouring Heaven" technique was incredibly powerful, it had one drawback: it left nothing behind when the sword force passed through. Under the "Devouring Heaven" sword force, the huge body of the "Black Dragon" was naturally reduced to ashes. In other words, the flesh and blood of the "Black Dragon" that it had been craving for so long could not be obtained at all!

The "Tiger Soul" sword spirit rolled its eyes and almost fainted—if it could faint.

After using the "Swallowing Heaven" move, Li Xin released "Tiger Soul" and collapsed to the ground.

This move, "Swallowing the Heavens," is far more powerful than "Boundless Buddhist Dharma." It was only by drawing upon the "Tiger Soul" that Li Xin was able to unleash it, leaving him not only exhausted but also with his meridians aching and swollen from overloading. Fortunately, after absorbing the "He Shi Bi" power, Li Xin's meridians had become much more resilient, and only some minor meridians were damaged. The main meridians were fine, and he could recover in a day or two.

After resting for a while, Li Xin regained some strength. He picked up "Tiger Soul," glanced at the lifeless "Tiger Soul" sword spirit, ignored it, and returned to Tokyo on his own. After being away for so long, Hayabusa and the others must be getting impatient.

After Li Xin left, an old man with white hair, carrying a fishing rod, arrived at the site of Li Xin's battle with the "Black Dragon." Looking at the now-white, deserted hermitage, the old man, with a faint scar on his cheek, murmured, "...I just went out fishing, how could this be..."

Chapter 681 The Most Ruthless Way to Deal with the Japanese

When Li Xin unleashed the most powerful move in the "Seven Limits" sword technique, "Devouring Heaven," not only Hayabusa and others in Tokyo, but also Wu Ji and Xiang Ying, who were far away on Mount Fuji, sensed it.

"This guy actually had such a hidden move..."

Xiang Ying also wields a knife, and even though he wasn't physically present, he could clearly sense the power of the Heaven-Splitting Blade from over a hundred kilometers away.

Without a doubt, the power of this move has surpassed the ninth strike of Xiang Ying's "Purple Thunder Blade Technique"—"Divine Thunder Demon Shock Heavenly Punishment."

Of course, what Xiang Ying used before was only the "Minor Heavenly Punishment" of the ninth strike. Above the "Minor Heavenly Punishment" is the "Major Heavenly Punishment", and above the "Major Heavenly Punishment" is the "World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment", which is the peak of the destructive power of the "Purple Thunder Blade Technique".

However, unlike the "Minor Heavenly Punishment," which Xiang Ying could unleash after being modified by the "He Shi Bi," only required consuming internal energy, the "Major Heavenly Punishment" and the "World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment" required life force to activate. They could only be used three times in a lifetime, and Xiang Ying would never use them lightly unless it was a matter of life and death.

Sensing Li Xin's "Devouring Heaven" attack, Xiang Ying was not discouraged; instead, a strong fighting spirit surged within him.

"We need to become stronger, even stronger!"

Xiang Ying gripped the Thunder Blade tightly.

Inside the volcano, Wu Ji, who was "driving piles," was stunned when he sensed "Devouring Heaven." "Evil God" seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Wu Ji, but it was blocked by Wu Ji's "Golden Rakshasa Battle Armor."

Wu Ji reached out and pinched the "Demon God's" head, saying to it, "Don't make a sound."

After sensing the world-destroying power of "Devouring Heaven", Wu Ji smiled.

Okay, that's it, only then are you qualified to be his final opponent!

But for this final battle, he also needed to acquire a suitable weapon.

Thinking of this, Wu Ji struck even harder, delivering a powerful punch to the "Demon God's" abdomen. The "Demon God" opened its mouth and hissed in pain, and Wu Ji took the opportunity to stuff something into the "Demon God's" mouth.

After the "demon god" was stuffed with something, it immediately felt an evil force of the same origin as itself, but far superior to it, flowing into its body. Its bones began to mutate, its body began to deform, and two pairs of arms emerged from its back, turning it into a six-armed, two-winged monster. At the same time, its evil power increased greatly.

"Roar!"

Feeling that its strength had once again leaped forward, the "Demon God" roared wildly and charged towards Wu Ji, intending to tear Wu Ji, the human who had been beating it for so long, to pieces.

Wu Ji felt a sense of relief as he looked at the "Demon God" whose appearance had changed drastically.

Long ago, the great god "Rakshasa" who ruled the Western Regions killed a rebellious demon and forged the divine weapon "Soul Eater" from its sinews and bones. Later, Soul Eater was destroyed in a great battle that shook heaven and earth, leaving only a tip of the staff. The Great Rakshasa Sect retrieved that tip of the staff, and with the help of rare metals from the Western Regions, reforged it into a long staff. Although it can be called a divine weapon, it is still far inferior to the real "Soul Eater".

Previously, during the fierce battle between Wu Ji and Xiang Ying, the long staff was severely damaged by Xiang Ying's thunder blade. Later, it also endured Wu Ji's "One Annihilation - Earth Annihilation" and finally broke under the strain. Only the tip of the staff remained, which Wu Ji kept close to his body. What he just put into the mouth of the "Demon God" was that tip of the staff.

"You're too weak, not strong enough. Be stronger, make my weapon stronger!"

Wu Ji said to the "Demon God".

The "Demon God" rushed excitedly toward Wu Ji, only to be punched in the face by Wu Ji. Before it could crash into the mountain wall, Wu Ji had already flown above it and punched it hard in the abdomen, blasting it deep into the volcano, into a place where the underground magma was surging.

The high temperature of the magma was naturally no match for the highest-level "demon god" like the "evil demon god". Just as it was about to burst out of the magma, Wu Ji came down with it. At the same time, he fully activated the "Nine Netherworld Void Overlord" in the "Rakshasa Kui Divine Art", frantically drawing on the power of the Nine Netherworld. The powerful power of the Nine Netherworld became so dense that it materialized, turning into "Netherworld Earth Fire" that was enough to melt gold and cast iron and burn all things.

"Right here, become my new weapon!"

Wu Ji transformed the "Netherworld Fire" into a ring of fire that trapped the "Demon God." The "Demon God" was imprisoned by the ring of fire and struggled to break free, but found that it could not break free no matter what it did. Instead, the ring of fire tightened continuously, and its body began to shrink continuously.

The "Netherworld Fire" continuously burned the "Demon God's" body, turning it into impurities. Although its size shrank, its bones became increasingly hard.

However, the "evil god" being burned was in excruciating pain, constantly emitting mournful howls.

Damn it, I should have known better than to revive...

The "demon god" felt boundless sorrow.

It is unknown how long the "evil god" was burned, but it finally stopped making a sound. However, the newly formed consciousness was completely burned away by the "Netherworld Fire", leaving only its body with the quality of immortality to be burned by the "Netherworld Fire".

Without the wailing of the "demon god," only the sound of flowing lava and the crackling sound like firewood being burned echoed deep within Mount Fuji.

The "Netherworld Fire" was incredibly hot, and with the support of the power of Mount Fuji's ley lines, the "Demon God's" body was gradually burned until it changed color, eventually merging into one and transforming into a strangely shaped long staff.

"it is good!"

Having successfully refined the "Demon God," Wu Ji disregarded the fact that the staff had just been tempered by the "Netherworld Fire" and reached out to take it. The staff was also magical; despite being tempered by the "Netherworld Fire" for so long, it was not hot to the touch, but rather had a cool sensation.

Wu Ji raised his long staff high and swung it casually, causing the entire Mount Fuji to tremble.

In the distance, Hayato gazed at the cracked sky in the direction of Tokyo, his heart filled with worry, when suddenly he felt a violent tremor. Looking towards Mount Fuji, he saw that the long-silent Mount Fuji was acting strangely again. His heart skipped a beat. Here we go again.

Fortunately, Hayato's worries were unnecessary. Mount Fuji was just making a feint and soon fell silent, which relieved Hayato.

Honestly, I'm a retired old man, I can't take being scared like that...

Hayato let out a long breath.

Deep within Mount Fuji, Wuji, overjoyed with the divine weapon, was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at the silent Mount Fuji.

Volcanoes like Mount Fuji, with their violent ley line energy, need to erupt periodically. Otherwise, the ley line energy will have nowhere to go and will only accumulate. When it can no longer accumulate, it will erupt all at once, causing even greater disasters.

The eruption of Mount Fuji was originally expected to occur soon, no more than ten years from now. However, in order to deal with those "demons," Wu Ji used "One Annihilation - Earth Annihilation," which forcibly suppressed the power of the earth's veins beneath Mount Fuji.

The power of the earth's veins was forcibly suppressed, with nowhere to be released, like a spring that had been constantly compressed. And when the hand pressing on the spring disappears, the accumulated power of the earth's veins will likely...

Wu Ji estimated that his "One Annihilation - Earth Annihilation" technique could suppress the earth vein power of Mount Fuji for at least thirty years.

In other words, thirty years from now, the suppressive force of "One Annihilation, Earth Annihilation" will disappear, and Mount Fuji will unleash the accumulated power of the earth's veins all at once.

After thinking about it, Wu Ji decided to pretend he didn't know anything about it.

It's true that he unleashed "One Annihilation, Earth Annihilation," but he also lacked the ability to eliminate this power.

If it were something that happened thirty days from now, Wu Ji might be able to get involved, but what does it matter to him if it happens thirty years from now?

That's it. We should trust the wisdom of future generations. He has already dealt with the "evil gods." Let them handle the "mere" volcanic eruption!

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

Li Xin returned to the original site of the Tokyo skyscraper. Hayabusa and the others were still there. Kyo Kusanagi pointed to the cracked sky and asked Li Xin, "Did you do this?"

Although he could sense Li Xin's true energy from the Heaven-Splitting Blade Qi, Kusanagi Kyo still couldn't believe that Li Xin could create such a large-scale spectacle.

Li Xin nodded: "That's right."

Kyo Kusanagi shook his head and said to Li Xin, "I'm convinced. I'm completely convinced this time..."

Originally, Kyo Kusanagi thought he was no weaker than Li Xin, or even if he was slightly worse, the gap wouldn't be that big. But now it seems, tsk tsk tsk, it's a good thing Li Xin didn't use a weapon during the "KOF" tournament, otherwise he really wouldn't know how he died.

Chizuru Kagura also looked at Li Xin, but she wasn't concerned about whether the attack that could be felt even in downtown Tokyo was launched by Li Xin. Instead, she was more concerned about Li Xin's physical condition.

She asked, "Ah-Xin, are you alright?"

Li Xin doesn't look well right now; he appears very weak and listless.

Come to think of it, with so many of them, including the five extraordinary experts, facing the "Black Dragon" together, they barely survived. She could naturally imagine how dangerous it would be for Li Xin to face the "Black Dragon" alone.

If Li Xin hadn't sent her a telepathic message before leaving, telling them not to chase after them, she would have loved to fight alongside him.

Hearing Kagura Chizuru's concern, Li Xin smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing serious, I should be fine after resting for a while."

Then Li Xin looked at the "Black Dragon Priestess" Seori behind Kagura Chizuru and asked her, "Seori, can you still sense the 'Black Dragon Soul'? Did it just return to your body?"

According to Seori, after the "Black Dragon's" physical body is destroyed, its soul, or its resentment, will return to the "Black Dragon Priestess" who has its bloodline.

Li Xin can say with absolute certainty that the "Black Dragon's" body was completely wiped out, leaving not a trace. However, regarding the most crucial "Black Dragon's Soul," Li Xin is not a psychic and is not knowledgeable about matters of the soul, so he doesn't know whether the "Black Dragon's Soul" was actually destroyed.

Fortunately, there is Seori, the "Black Dragon Priestess". If the "Black Dragon Soul" is not destroyed along with the "Black Dragon's" body, it will most likely return to Seori. So, whether the "Black Dragon" is truly dead or not, you can't go wrong asking Seori.

Seori didn't sense anything either, and directly told Li Xin, "'The Black Dragon' has been destroyed, completely destroyed."

Her voice trembled, and she could hardly contain her excitement.

As the "Black Dragon Priestess," the existence of the "Black Dragon" was closely related to her, so she was the first to sense the "Black Dragon's" death.

The "Black Dragon" is indeed dead, utterly and completely, and even the most troublesome "Black Dragon Soul" has been completely annihilated.

In order to seal the "Black Dragon," the "Black Dragon Clan" can only live in the "Black Dragon Village" for generations. Except for purchasing a few necessities that they cannot produce themselves, they are forbidden to go out and are even unaware of the changes in the outside world.

But this does not mean that the people of "Black Dragon Village" have no thoughts about the outside world. On the contrary, because their lives have always been confined to a narrow valley, the people of "Black Dragon Village" have always fantasized about the outside world, and even imagined the outside world as a perfect world.

Legend has it that when the peerless genius of the "Crow Clan," who is also a descendant of the "Black Dragon Clan," appears, he will wield the "Black Dragon Pill" and personally kill the "Black Dragon." This will resolve the "Black Dragon's" resentment, purify the "Black Dragon," and forever destroy it. At that time, the people of the "Black Dragon Village" can end their mission and go to the outside world.

From a young age, Seori had longed for this person's appearance, even if it meant sacrificing her life to revive the "Black Dragon." She would do it willingly as long as her people could be free. But now, the peerless genius of the "Crow Clan" had not appeared, and she did not have to die. However, the "Black Dragon" had been completely destroyed, and the shackles that had been binding the "Black Dragon Village" had simply disappeared. It made Seori feel like she was in a dream.

The thought that she was now all alone in "Black Dragon Village" overwhelmed her with sorrow, and she couldn't help but kneel down and sob.

Li Xin and the others also knew about Seori's ordeal, and for a moment they didn't know how to comfort her.

After Seori cried herself unconscious, Kagura Chizuru helped her up and said to Li Xin, "This child has a very high talent for spiritual cultivation, so I will take her back and take care of her."

After saying that, he looked at Ryu Hayabusa and asked, "Is it alright, Hayabusa-san?"

Ryu Hayabusa nodded: "Of course, no problem."

The "Black Dragon" has been completely destroyed, so the "Black Dragon Priestess" can naturally choose her own life. Of course, Seori is completely unaware of life outside. Kagura Chizuru is willing to take care of Seori, which Hayabusa couldn't be happier.

"Don't let Wan Gui lead you astray."

Li Xin reminded him.

Li Xin would feel it would be a pity if a fair-skinned, pure-looking shrine maiden were corrupted by that "dirty woman," Kagura Maki.

Chizuru Kagura pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll try my best..."

Clearly, she had little confidence that she could preserve Seori's purity under her sister's control.

Li Xin: "..."

Shaking his head, Li Xin looked at the surrounding ruins and said to Kagura Chizuru, "So, what do we do here?"

A single "Roar of the Black Dragon" turned the area around the Tokyo skyscrapers into a giant crater. Afterwards, Li Xin and his companions fought the "Black Dragon." Although they were careful, they still destroyed a lot of buildings. Li Xin couldn't afford to pay for the damages.

Kagura Chizuru sneered: "Someone will naturally handle this. What does it have to do with us?"

Even now, the Japanese government is still playing dead. How could Chizuru Kagura, who is well-versed in the rules of Japanese society, not understand the strangeness of the situation?

It's important to know that four of the "world's eight major public health incidents" occurred in Japan, and the Japanese government is always the most ruthless towards the Japanese people.

Chapter 682 After the Great Battle

On the second day after the "Black Dragon" incident, a woman in a suit with short, capable hair pushed a wheelchair to the battlefield where Li Xin had used "Swallowing the Sky" to eliminate the "Black Dragon" the day before. No, to be precise, it was the edge of the battlefield, about fifteen or sixteen kilometers away from the core of the battlefield.

The wind howled, lightning roared, and huge hailstones fell continuously, smashing craters into the ground. Tornadoes ripped up soil and rocks, destroying everything in their path, and floods raged, washing away everything in their path.

Looking at the apocalyptic scene before her, the woman in the wheelchair, Ayame Jinguji, the head of the "Super Disaster Countermeasures Office," asked, "Has it been like this since yesterday?"

The short-haired woman, who was also Jinguji Ayame's secretary, Nikaido Kiri, replied, "Yes, it was calm when the battle ended, but it started to turn like this at night. The people from the 'Psychic Department' said that this was because the psychic energy in this area was out of balance."

How long will this last?

Jinguji Ayame asked.

Although this area is just an inconspicuous mountainous area on the outskirts of Tokyo with few residents and few visitors except for camping and picnicking, it is still within Tokyo territory. In the future, with urban expansion or the construction of any projects, this land can be utilized and can bring huge economic benefits to the government.

Kirito Nikaido hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't know."

"do not know?"

“The people from the Department of Psionic Energy said that it could take several years, or even more than ten or several decades. The imbalance of psionic energy is too severe, and it is impossible to determine when the balance can be restored. All they can say is that it is definitely impossible to restore it in the short term.”

Nikaido Kirito said softly.

Jinguji Ayame took a deep breath and felt her heart skip a beat.

Several hundred square kilometers, equivalent to almost half of Tokyo's urban area, will have no development value for the next few decades. Such a huge loss... Jinguji Ayame can already foresee that Tokyo's future fiscal budget will become even tighter, and at the same time, the funds allocated to their "Disaster Countermeasures Office" will be more abundant.

That's right, it's about becoming more abundant, not being cut back.

One "Roar of the Black Dragon" destroyed a large part of Tokyo, while another "Heaven Devourer" turned a radius of more than ten kilometers into wasteland.
