Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

Shi Xihuang Wo Zhi Zhu resisted the endless sword and blade energy amidst the sea of ​​swords and waves, just like a reef standing firmly in the ocean.

However, as Shiki Kōnosuke resisted, the "turbulent sea of ​​swords and waves" tightened continuously, greatly increasing the pressure on Shiki Kōnosuke.

"Bah!"

A wound appeared on Shiki Kōnosuke's back, followed by his arms, thighs, calves... thirteen wounds appeared on his body in a row, and blood kept flowing out under the pull of the airflow formed by the swirling sword and blade energy.

Knowing something was wrong, Shiki Kōnosuke quickly tried to control his muscles to close the wound and stop the bleeding, but this distraction caused a huge gap to appear in his already strained defense.

Like a flood bursting its banks, a sea of ​​swords and blades surged towards Shiki Kō no Suke, completely engulfing him!

But Shiki Kōnosuke is a peerless master who has dominated his region, so how could he fall down so easily?

"drink!"

He roared, unleashing his protective blade aura, which briefly forced back the sea of ​​swords and blades. At the same time, his two blades danced, forming an incredibly tight net of blades to counter Li Xin's sea of ​​swords and blades.

Since prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat, I will adopt offense as my defense: "With focused intent, I will strike with unwavering resolve!"

This is the ultimate move in "Yoshiki Slash," named after its creator, Touichi Fuji, and it's the move that killed Touichi Fuji.

With the aid of the "True Qi of Wind and Clouds," the "Chaotic Storm Breaks the Clouds" possesses almost inexhaustible power and grows stronger with each battle.

Shiki Kōnosuke is a living fossil of the martial arts world who has been practicing for more than half a century. His profound internal strength is unmatched by most people in the world, and he is only half a step away from "the foundation of near-divine".

Although his internal energy could not be as inexhaustible as Li Xin's "Wind and Cloud True Qi", it was still enough to sustain him for a period of time.

The net of blades clashed with the sea of ​​swords and waves of blades. The small "Hellfire Island" was instantly surrounded by blade and sword energy, which destroyed everything on the island. If the spectators here were not all extraordinary experts, they would probably have suffered as well.

On the entire "Hellfire Island", apart from the sound of wind and the clash of swords, there was no other sound. The tornado formed by the sword and blade energy obscured everyone's vision, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Amidst the swirling swords, Li Xin and Shi Xi Huang Wo Zhi Zhu fought with all their might. After clashing over a thousand times, Shi Xi Huang Wo Zhi Zhu's expression suddenly changed. It turned out that after repeatedly clashing with "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade," the twin swords he was using could no longer withstand the force and began to crack.

If a swordsman discovers a crack in his sword, he should temporarily retreat out of concern for its safety. However, the "Heartfelt Slash" that Shi Xihuang Wozhi helps him cultivate is different. The more swords he cuts with the "Heartfelt Slash," the more determined his will becomes, and the stronger his sword intent will be!

So Shiki Kōnosuke simply withdrew the internal force he had applied to the twin swords. The twin swords were already overburdened, and after Shiki Kōnosuke withdrew the internal force attached to them, the twin swords instantly shattered into pieces in the clash with "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade".

"go with!"

Seizing the opportunity, Shiki Huangwozhisuke unleashed his inner force, causing the fragments of his twin swords to shoot towards Li Xin. In the very end, the shattered twin swords provided Shiki Huangwozhisuke with a final assist.

With the enhancement of Shiki Huangwo's profound internal strength, the fragments of the twin swords were more terrifying than any hidden weapon. Even Li Xin had to stop his attack and instead use the swords as a shield to block all the fragments.

At this moment, Shiki Kōnosuke also relinquished his last external possessions, his sword intent rose to another level, his blood vessels bulged and stammered, and every muscle was stretched to its limit, as if it were about to explode.

Shiki Kōnosuke lost his weapon, but it didn't matter; he felt he was already a divine weapon.

"Heart and sword become one," "Heart and sword become one"... He only gave up his eyes, so how can he be considered to have truly achieved "heart and sword become one"? Only by giving up the sword as well, and transforming himself into the strongest weapon, can he truly achieve "heart and sword become one"!

After figuring it out, Shiki Kōnosuke used his hand as a knife and charged straight at Li Xin.

"Again!"

Shiki Kōnosuke revealed his madness, exuding an unparalleled killing intent.

Upon seeing this, Li Xin immediately realized that Shiki Kōnosuke's strength had increased again. He released his sword and it spun into a ball in front of him, filling the air with a chilling and desolate atmosphere.

"Divine Sword Technique - Second Form", "The Desolate World Annihilated by the Slaughter of the Sword!"

Li Xin unleashed a ball of swords at Shiki Huangwozhizhu. The chilling and desolate sword light seemed to shatter everything, and was unstoppable. Once hit, one would be stabbed and chopped by countless swords, truly torn to pieces, and die without a burial place!

At this moment, Shiki Kōnosuke seemed to have gone mad. He either couldn't see the terrifying sword ball, or he saw it but didn't care. He leaped and crashed directly into the sword ball—he actually gave up his own life!

Li Xin was shocked to see this, finding it hard to believe that Shiki Kōnosuke would do something so crazy.

Li Xin's emotions fluctuated, and the movement of the sword sphere immediately became slightly hindered. Shiki Kōnosuke, who was inside it, immediately saw the flaw and unleashed a soaring sword aura from the sword sphere, shattering it.

Shiki Kōnosuke escaped from the sword ball. Although he was covered in blood and not an inch of his body was intact, he laughed loudly and arrogantly.

He has every right to be proud, having broken two divine sword techniques in a row; this is enough for Shiki Kōnosuke to be proud of for the rest of his life.

Chin Gentsai, who was watching from the sidelines, was worried because he could see that the strength of the monster, Shiki Kou no Suke, had evolved to another level. Even he was not confident that he could subdue this monster.

Li Xin used his true energy to control the swords, and the "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade" that had been knocked away by Shi Xi Huang Wo Zhi Zhu returned to his hands.

Looking at the bloodied Shiki Kōnosuke, Li Xin asked, "Let's stop here. You can't fight any longer."

At this moment, Shiki Kōnosuke had lost a lot of blood, and forcibly breaking through the sword sphere had also consumed a lot of his internal energy. Even though Shiki Kōnosuke was a peak extraordinary expert, he was still an old man in his eighties, and an old man could not endure such torment.

But how could Shiki Kōnosuke be willing to give up at this point?

He had already risked his life by jumping into Li Xin's sword ball. Now, every second he lives is a reward from martial arts, and he wants to dedicate it all to martial arts!

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go again! Or have you run out of tricks?"

Shi Xihuang Wozhi helped Li Xindao.

Li Xin sighed, "This person is really... stubborn and incorrigible!"

Since Shiki Kōnosuke had lost his sword, Li Xin didn't take advantage of him. He sheathed his sword and said to Shiki Kōnosuke, "Then let's go!"

Although Shiki Kōnosuke was blind, he could sense Li Xin's movements. Noticing that Li Xin had sheathed his sword, he immediately shouted angrily, "Are you looking down on me?!"

"No, that's not true. I'm just showing you respect."

Li Xin spread his arms: "To be honest, I'm actually better at fighting bare-handed."

"Haha, how arrogant!"

Shiki Kōnosuke laughed loudly, then rushed towards Li Xin, using his hand as a knife, wanting to teach Li Xin a lesson!

Li Xin remained calm and unhurried, unleashing dozens of palm strikes at Shi Xi Huang Wo Zhi Zhu. Each strike was weak and not aimed at Shi Xi Huang Wo Zhi Zhu. Even after Shi Xi Huang Wo Zhi Zhu had rushed in front of Li Xin, Li Xin continued to use these meaningless palm strikes.

Those around him couldn't see the mystery, but the blind Shiki Kira no Suke had already sensed something was wrong.

However, at this moment, Shiki Kōnosuke was close to madness. Even though he sensed something was wrong, he still rushed into the encirclement that Li Xin had set up for him.

Sever all ties and ties, cut them off with your heart! Sever all ties and ties, cut them off with your heart!

Silently reciting the mantra "Slay with Heart," Seki Kō no Suke was no longer afraid!

When Shiki Huangwozhi arrived in front of Li Xin, Li Xin had already completed his plan. When Shiki Huangwozhi arrived at a certain place, suddenly, dozens of palm strikes erupted and landed on Shiki Huangwozhi from all directions.

Despite his injuries, Shiki Huangwozhizhu unleashed his sword energy to repel the palm strikes. However, these palm strikes remained condensed and did not disperse. After Shiki Huangwozhizhu was repelled, they attacked him again, formless and continuous. This was the fifth move of the "Buddha's Palm", "Welcoming the Buddha to the Western Paradise"!

In the battle ahead, Shiki Kōnosuke was already exhausted from his injuries. This time, he was struck by countless invisible palm strikes. They were impossible to dispel or avoid. Before he knew it, he had been hit by over a hundred palm strikes and was completely powerless to resist.

After a prolonged battle, the once invincible "Two Heavenly Kings of Hell," Seigami Kira no Suke, finally fell.

Seeing Shiki Huangwo Zhizhu fall, Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

This old fellow was too obsessed. When he broke through the sword ball, he was actually close to his limit, but because of his desire for victory and his dedication to martial arts, he endured more than a hundred blows from Li Xin before collapsing. Even Li Xin was impressed.

To be honest, if it were Li Xin, he probably wouldn't be able to do what Shiki Kōnosuke did.

Well, if it were him, he wouldn't initiate a duel unless there was money involved.

"I'll take this old man back with me."

Xiang Ying appeared in front of Shi Xihuang Wozhizhu, picked up the old man, and stuffed a pill into his mouth.

This was naturally not a pill made from Tianshan snow lotus, but rather a healing pill that Xiang Feiyan usually made. She knew that Xiang Ying was competitive and liked to compete with others, often injuring himself and others, so she prepared a lot of healing medicine for Xiang Ying.

Previously, the old man invited Xiang Ying to join "Darkness." Although Xiang Ying knew that Shi Xi Huang Wo Zhi Zhu was intentionally using him, Xiang Ying had received a lot of benefits after all. Now that he saw Shi Xi Huang Wo Zhi Zhu in such a state, he naturally had to step in to save his life.

Li Xin nodded: "Okay, but please also tell him that if he does anything wrong again in the future, I will not let him off the hook."

Although this old guy caused Li Xin a lot of trouble and forced Li Xin to go out and train, it was precisely because of his relentless pressure that Li Xin's strength underwent a tremendous change. From this point of view, Li Xin should thank Shi Xi Huang Wo for his help.

Moreover, perhaps because of his martial arts background, he couldn't bring himself to hate this kind of martial arts fanatic who was willing to risk his life.

"Okay, I'll tell him."

Xiang Ying nodded.

After the duel ended, Wu Ji walked over and said to Li Xin, "It was a wonderful duel. I hope our duel four days from now will be just as exciting."

"It will be more amazing than you can imagine, I guarantee it!"

Li Xin said to Wu Ji.

He was actually holding back when facing Shiki Huangwo's help this time; he would give all those big meals to Wuji to enjoy.

"Then I'll go back and look forward to it."

Wu Ji smiled slightly and then left "Hellfire Island".

Upon hearing Li Xin and Wu Ji's conversation, Zhen Yuanzhai approached Li Xin and asked, "Xin, did you also have a duel with that brat from the Great Rakshasa Sect?"

"Yes."

Li Xin nodded.

Zhen Yuanzhai was startled and immediately said, "Then he..."

"His 27th birthday is still more than ten days away."

Li Xin knew what Zhen Yuanzhai wanted to ask, and answered him directly.

Zhen Yuanzhai gasped – there were only a dozen days left until the “27th Great Limit”… no, by the time Li Xin and Wu Ji fought, it would be less than ten days. The Great Rakshasa Sect Master, who was less than ten days away from the “27th Great Limit”, was an opponent that no one wanted to face, even more terrifying than Shi Xi Huang Wo Zhi Zhu, a veteran peak extraordinary expert!

Swallowing hard, Chin Gentsai advised Li Xin, "Xin, if possible, I hope you will end this duel."

The Great Rakshasa Sect Master, who was nearing his "27th birthday," was too terrifying, and he did not want his disciples to face such a formidable opponent.

It's completely pointless. What's the point of fighting someone who only has ten days to live?

Li Xin smiled and shook his head: "No, Master. I made an appointment with him. Since I made an appointment, I can't break it. After all, my name is A Xin."

"You child..."

Zhen Yuanzhai couldn't help but smile wryly. He could naturally sense that Li Xin insisted on dueling with Wu Ji not only to keep his promise but also to help Wu Ji achieve his goal.

During the "KOF" tournament, he realized that Wuji was a martial arts fanatic who was no less skilled than Shiki Kou no Suke. For such a martial arts fanatic, there was no better way to end his life than with a thrilling duel.

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzhai said to Li Xin, "Alright, A Xin, your master supports you. When the time comes, your master will also invite Old Man Tang to join us and cheer you on!"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Thank you, Master!"

The master and apprentice made no attempt to conceal their conversation, and Kushinada Miku, who was standing nearby, overheard their exchange.

"A duel with the sect leader of the Great Rakshasa Sect..."

Kushina Mikumo murmured.

Chapter 757 "The Annihilation of Heaven and Earth"

After the duel with Shiki Kōnosuke, Li Xin left "Gokurami Island" with Chin Gentsai, picking some fruit on the way. Li Xin thought the fruit tasted very good when he was here last time.

Speaking of fruit, Li Xin couldn't help but think of Mai Shiranui. Back then, he and Mai Shiranui were imprisoned together in a cave by Akuma...

Oh right, I almost forgot. I told Mai Shiranui that I would visit her after I returned from my training, but I was so busy developing my "Wind and Cloud True Qi" that I forgot about it.

I was supposed to be Helena's tour guide, but that hasn't happened yet. I just have too many things to do and I tend to forget things easily.

After returning to Tokyo, Li Xin did not rush back to his agency, but instead went to the Shiranui Dojo to visit Mai Shiranui.

"Ah-Xin, you're back!"

Mai Shiranui seemed very happy to see Li Xin, but after the initial joy, she felt a little flustered.

Did Xiaolei tell Ashin about this? What does Ashin think of me? How should I face Ashin? Ugh, this is so annoying!

Seeing the changing expressions on Mai Shiranui's face, Li Xin couldn't help but ask, "Little Mai, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing!"

Mai Shiranui shook her head vigorously.

While Li Xin was puzzled, an unexpected person walked out of the dojo; it was Kagura Chizuru.

Li Xin was surprised to see Kagura Chizuru and asked, "Chizuru, what are you doing here?"

Before Kagura Chizuru could answer, Shiranui Mai spoke up first: "Oshin, what you're saying is strange. Why can't Chizuru come here? She's our teammate now!"

As she spoke, Mai Shiranui took Chizuru Kagura's hand, appearing quite intimate.

Li Xin was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Chizuru has joined the 'Women Fighters Team'?"

"Yup!"

Mai Shiranui proudly puffed out her chest.

She had this idea when she participated in the "DOA" competition in France. After seeing Helena enter the top eight with an unusually easy pace, she became even more determined to do so. If she could bring the organizers into the team, wouldn't their "Women Fighters Team" be able to dominate the competition?

Of course, Chizuru Kagura's strength is also a factor. After all, she knows that Chizuru Kagura is already an extraordinary powerhouse. Putting aside her identity, Chizuru Kagura is the strongest woman Mai Shiranui knows in terms of strength alone.
