Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

You didn't even help me up when I fell down, you're not a good friend at all!

Using his "Mingyu True Qi" to heal himself, Li Xin struggled to his feet, clutching his chest where Wu Ji had struck with "Three Realms Annihilation - Fourth Strike," and said to the motionless Wu Ji, "I concede. You win. Go back and celebrate your birthday!"

Li Xin originally wanted to ask Wu Ji for medical expenses, but considering that Wu Ji was about to die, he decided not to argue with him.

Wu Ji remained as if he hadn't heard anything. Li Xin's face showed displeasure as he said to Wu Ji, "Why are you ignoring me? You think you can be arrogant just because you beat me?"

Enraged, Li Xin reached out and shoved Wu Ji, only to find his hand soft and yielding. By the time Li Xin realized something was wrong, Wu Ji had already turned into a ball of sparkling ashes, scattered on the ground.

Li Xin's hands trembled, unable to comprehend what had just happened. How could a perfectly healthy person have been reduced to ashes? It was so strange; he didn't remember ever practicing such a martial art! Even if he had, Martial Peak was so powerful, how could he possibly be unable to withstand it…

Zhen Yuanzhai sighed, walked up to Li Xin, and said to him, "Just now..."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhen Yuanzhai did not reveal the truth that Wuji Burning Life unleashed an unprecedented "Fifth Strike," using the power of his soul to impact Li Xin and awaken Li Xin's consciousness.

This was too cruel for Li Xin, and Wu Ji would not be willing to tell Li Xin about it.

So Zhen Yuanzhai changed the subject and said, "Just now, Wu Ji used his life as the price to defeat you."

Li Xin stared at the scattered ashes and muttered, "Damn it, are you that eager to win? Don't you have a younger brother waiting for you to come back for his birthday? You bastard!"

Reaching out to collect the ashes, Li Xin found that his hand was already too weak to move. He could only say to Zhen Yuanzhai, "Master, please help me collect these ashes."

Zhen Yuanzhai nodded, and with a turn of his energy, all the ashes of Wuji fell into his hand and were rolled into a ball.

Li Xin reluctantly took off his tattered coat and wrapped the ashes in it.

You came here a 200-pound giant, but now you're less than 2 pounds. You've really succeeded in losing weight...

Li Xin chuckled to himself, but tears streamed down his face.

"Ah-Xin, let's go."

Zhen Yuanzhai spoke to Li Xindao.

Li Xin silently nodded, holding Wu Ji's ashes.

As the two departed, the seawater, which had been forced back by the battle between Li Xin and Wu Ji, flowed back, submerging the place where an earth-shattering battle had just taken place. All traces of the battle were submerged in the sea.

The traces of the battle have disappeared, but the outcome has been decided: the victor is Wu Ji, the current sect leader of the Great Rakshasa Sect!

He reached the pinnacle of martial arts and the pinnacle of humanity!

Chapter 767 "Nine Yang Divine Fist"

Just as Li Xin left the battlefield to meet with his family and friends, he suddenly swayed and fainted.

The group of relatives and friends shuddered at the sight, fearing that Li Xin would do it again.

Zhen Yuanzhai calmly said, "It's alright. A-Xin was just too tired and fainted. Besides, given how A-Xin was just now, he probably won't be able to appear for a while."

The attack that Wu Ji just unleashed, burning his life and soul, not only awakened Li Xin's consciousness but also suppressed his instincts.

"Extinction of the Three Realms - Fifth Strike - Annihilation of the Six Paths" - This is a strike that directly targets the very essence of humanity, exceeding the scope of ordinary soul attacks.

To witness such amazing skills... no, to witness such a duel, this life is truly worthwhile.

It's a pity that we probably won't see a duel of this caliber again for the next hundred years, because there will never be another opponent in this world who can make Li Xin fight to such an extent...

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzhai also felt a pang of regret.

Mao Lixia picked up the unconscious Li Xin, and just as everyone was about to leave, they suddenly heard a voice: "Wait!"

Everyone turned around and saw Shiki Kou no Suke walking on water.

Knowing that this guy had a grudge against Li Xin, everyone looked at Shiki Huangwozhizhu with suspicion, fearing that the old man was trying to take advantage of Li Xin's serious injury.

Shiki Kōnosuke's face darkened. After witnessing the duel between Li Xin and Wuji, Shiki Kōnosuke fully understood the gap between himself and Li Xin. However, he still said to everyone, "After this kid wakes up, please tell him that I will challenge him again after he recovers."

The ultimate martial arts has appeared before him, so even if he is no match for it, he must fight it. Only then will his life of martial arts training not have been in vain. If he gives up the challenge because the opponent is strong, that is the mindset of a coward!

After hearing what Shiki Kōnosuke said, Chin Gentsai nodded and said, "I understand. I will pass on your words to O-Shin."

After practicing "Heart Slash," Seishi Kou no Suke became more and more like a pure martial artist, and Chin Gentsai was happy to pass on his message to him.

As the duel ended, a certain consciousness, far away on the western shore of the Atlantic, who had followed the entire battle closely, sighed: "I underestimated the heroes of the world..."

He was always arrogant and looked down on everyone, but after witnessing the duel between Li Xin and Wu Ji, he had to admit that he was no match for them.

It seems we need to hurry up with that final step!

Wang Xiao thought to himself.

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

On the way back, Zhen Yuanzhai fed Li Xin the "Heavenly Snow Lotus Pill" that Li Xin had given him.

The "Tianshan Snow Lotus Pill," made from Tianshan snow lotus and various precious ingredients, truly had the effect of "reviving the dead and restoring flesh and bones." After Li Xin took it, his injuries immediately improved. Not only did his broken skin scab over and heal, but his broken meridians were also repaired. Even his shattered bones were basically restored after Zhen Yuanzhai set his bones.

Although Li Xin's body had largely recovered, his consciousness remained sluggish. Zhen Yuanzhai understood that this was because of Wu Ji's final strike—although he tried his best to restrain it, in order to awaken Li Xin's consciousness, that strike had ultimately damaged Li Xin's soul.

The loss of a soul is extremely difficult to repair, and Zhen Yuanzhai had no good solution. He could only go back and ask the old witch if there was any way to revive Li Xin.

After bringing Li Xin back to Tokyo, in order to allow Li Xin to recuperate better, Mori took the initiative to take him to Kisugi Rui's apartment. The environment there was nice (luxurious decoration) and quieter (there were only two apartments in the entire building). More importantly, Kisugi Rui was Li Xin's official girlfriend and was the most qualified to take care of the comatose Li Xin.

After the decisive battle, Li Xin's complexion improved for three consecutive days, but he remained unconscious.

Lai Sheng Lei and Mao Lixia, who were responsible for taking care of Li Xin, became increasingly worried, fearing that Li Xin would never wake up again.

At this moment, Li Xin was sleeping in Lai Sheng Lei's room. Lai Sheng Ai secretly tried to go in to visit Li Xin, but was caught by Lai Sheng Lei.

"Xiao Ai!"

With a stern expression, Lai Sheng Rui asked Lai Sheng Ai, "What are you going to do!"

Lai Sheng Ai was like a child caught stealing food, with her hands behind her back and her head down, saying, "I, I just wanted to visit Brother Ashin!"

"Do you have to sneak around when you visit someone? Ah-Xin has me and Li-Xia to take care of him, so we don't need you for now. You go and study properly!"

Lai Sheng Lei didn't appreciate it at all; how could this girl really just be visiting?

Lai Sheng Ai pouted and said, "Big sister, I'm already on summer vacation!"

"Then I'll enroll you in tutoring classes."

"Tears of the Next Life," she said softly.

This is what it means to be "like a mother to one's elder sister"!

Lai Sheng Ai immediately backed down: "Big sister, I know I was wrong. I'll behave myself and not disturb Ah Xin's rest. Please don't sign me up for tutoring classes!"

Go play somewhere else.

Tears of the next life drive away the path.

After Lai Sheng Ai drove him away, Lai Sheng Lei returned to the room and saw that Li Xin was still unconscious and showed no signs of improvement. She couldn't help but feel worried.

Li Xin's master, Zhen Yuanzhai, brought an old witch to see Li Xin, but the old witch shook her head and said she needed to go back and think of a solution. However, several days have passed, and Zhen Yuanzhai and the old witch have still not returned.

Meanwhile, Mao Lixia returned to the Central Plains to find a way to cure Li Xin.

Yesterday, a man named Xiang Ying brought his sister to see Li Xin, but unfortunately, the woman named Xiang Feiyan was also helpless with Li Xin's condition.

Three days were more agonizing for Laisheng Lei than three years.

"Ah-Xin, when are you finally going to wake up...?"

Lai Sheng Lei took Li Xin's hand and pressed it against her face, feeling its warmth.

The door to the room suddenly opened, and Lai Sheng Lei frowned involuntarily, whispering, "Xiao Ai!"

Mao Lixia was taken aback and asked Laisheng Lei, "What's wrong with Xiao Ai?"

Upon seeing that it was Mori-Shar, Lai Sheng Rui immediately changed her tone: "Shar, you're back!"

As she spoke, Lai Sheng Lei stood up and asked Mao Lixia, "Lixia, have you found a way to cure Axin?"

Mao Lixia nodded and said, "Found it. Although I don't know the specifics, we can give it a try."

"Okay, if there's a way, let's give it a try."

"Lai Sheng Lei immediately said."

She wasn't afraid of failure, but she was afraid of being unable to do anything and just waiting on the sidelines.

Mao Lixia said to Laisheng Lei, "First of all, we need to get Ah Xin up."

Lai Sheng Lei was stunned for a moment: "Isn't Ashin unconscious right now? How do we wake him up?"

If she could help Li Xin recover, why would she have been worried these past few days?

Maurice shook her head, then said, "What I mean is, let 'that' go."

"what?"

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

At the Fire Cloud Shrine, Chin Gentsai and the old shrine maiden sat together, while Kushinada Mikumo sat quietly opposite them.

"My conditions aren't demanding. Do you really need to think about it for so long?"

Kushina Miyun said to Zhen Yuanzhai in a relaxed manner.

Zhen Yuanzhai said, "I cannot make this decision."

"You want me to wake that kid up first, and then we can talk about the price? That's impossible."

Kushina Miyun shook her head.

She couldn't beat either Li Xin or Zhen Yuanzhai. What if they renege on their debt if she didn't agree on the price beforehand?

Therefore, she had to make a promise to Zhen Yuanzhai. It was difficult to disobey her master's orders. After Li Xin woke up, he was also unable to disobey Zhen Yuanzhai.

"let it go."

Kushina Miyun stood up, and Chin Gentsai was about to stand up as well. She said calmly, "What, are you trying to force me to buy or sell?"

Zhen Yuanzhai sat down without thinking. He had his pride, and after all, he had asked Kushina Meiyun for help. He couldn't afford to offend her. What if she secretly attacked him when he was rescuing Li Xin?

"Anyway, I'm not the one in a hurry. That kid won't cause any problems anytime soon. You can take your time to think it over and come back to me when you've thought it through."

Kushina Mikumo left leisurely, confident that the two men were upright people who wouldn't do anything underhanded, so she generously left her back to them.

Just as Kushina Miku had expected, Chin Gentsai and the old shrine maiden did not try to stop her and let her leave.

After Kushina Mikumo left, Chin Gentsai and the old shrine maiden exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

"I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help."

The old witch seemed very guilty. Li Xin had just given her a "Heavenly Snow Lotus Pill" to prolong her life, but she was powerless to help him when he needed it.

The matter of the soul is too profound; even a transcendent peak spiritual cultivator like her cannot fully comprehend its true meaning.

Li Xin was attacked by the "Five Strike of the Three Realms Annihilation," and his consciousness was forcibly awakened. However, during this process, his soul was impacted by that near-god-level power, and thus suffered damage.

Of course, compared to absorbing too much true energy and exploding to death, such an ending is not unacceptable. However, it would be troublesome to awaken Li Xin, whose soul is weakened.

The "Heavenly Snow Lotus Pill" could heal Li Xin's physical injuries but not his damaged soul. Helpless, the old witch could only seek help from Kushina Miyun. She knew that Kushina Miyun, who was obsessed with the study of immortality, was a martial artist but had made great achievements in the field of soul cultivation. If it were her, perhaps she could awaken Li Xin.

However, neither Chikamoto Tsai nor the old shrine maiden could agree to the request made by Kushinada Mikumo, so the situation remained at a stalemate.

The old witch said to Zhen Yuanzhai, "I'll continue to think of a solution."

Zhen Yuanzhai stroked his beard: "Alright, I'll go ask Old Tang if he knows anyone who studies the soul. If that doesn't work, I'll ask Old Yan."

"Old Yan? Yan Shuangying? What can he possibly do?"

The old witch asked in confusion.

In her memory, Yan Shuangying was only good at marksmanship and had decent skills, but he wasn't even a prodigy.

Zhen Yuanzhai explained, "You don't know, Lao Yan is really powerful now. He's the head of the department in the Central Plains that specializes in managing extraordinary people. He has a wide network of connections. If it's him, he should be able to contact all the top extraordinary experts in the Daoist sect."

"I can't believe something like this actually happened..."

The old witch was also taken aback, never expecting that the acquaintance she knew back then had become such a big shot. She had always kept her distance from government affairs, and she and Yan Shuangying hadn't seen each other for decades, so this was the first time she had heard about this matter.

"Anyway, let's split up and think of a solution. If all else fails... well, we'll see!"

Zhen Yuanzhai sighed.

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

While Zhen Yuanzhai and the old witch were struggling with how to cure Li Xin, the two younger ones were also working hard to awaken Li Xin.

"It's not working, there's absolutely no response!"
