Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 270

The man's voice was gentle yet magnetic. He tilted his head slightly, and in the darkness, half of his fair face was illuminated by the green operating light, revealing a captivating charm.

He held a cypress fan in his hand. Early Japanese fans were called cypress fans, which are similar in shape to folding fans and are one of the traditional Japanese fans.

The cypress fan in the hands of the Onmyoji Ling Ming has ribs made of pure white cypress wood, while the fan surface is painted with ancient Onmyoji exorcism patterns. Countless monsters and ghosts on the fan surface have different shapes and ferocious and terrifying faces.

Amidst countless demonic beasts and ghosts, a white-robed priest knelt serenely, his expression peaceful, as if nothing around him could affect him.

That might be depicting the most famous Onmyoji, but at this moment, his descendants have resolutely embarked on the path of evil.

Ling Ming gently waved his fan, looking at the people in front of him with a somewhat arrogant expression. After seeing Old Wolf and Kotaro, he said, "So that's how it is. One is a half-demon I created, and the other is a human who has been deeply corrupted by the half-demon. Your souls are constantly emitting chaotic obsessions, and that unrefined smell... really does have the stench of wild beasts."

"The stench of wild beasts?!" Old Wolf

He immediately bared his teeth: "You beast who uses innocent lives for experiments, you're worse than a wild animal!"

Ling Ming covered half of his face with his fan and sighed, "No one can understand my righteousness. I was prepared for this long ago. I gave you the opportunity to abandon everything in the past, but too many monsters do not know how to be grateful and will not seize this opportunity."

He shook his head, then looked at the others with a strange look in his eyes: "What a strange combination, monk, exorcist, monster... Even in Tokyo, a combination like yours is rare. It seems you're a team that was formed temporarily."

Lu Zizhen didn't speak, but simply shook out two sword hilts from his sleeves. With a flick of his wrists, two retractable swords appeared in his hands, their blades covered with talismans, looking quite eerie.

"Oh~" Ling Ming's eyes lit up: "So it's that famous Miss Lu! The well-known new-style Taoist, a powerful expert in summoning lightning, so you've gotten involved too."

Lu Zizhen raised her wrist, the sword blade horizontal, the tip pointing at Ling Ming, and nodded, saying, "I know you too, Ling Ming, the Yin-Yang Master, an old man who is almost a hundred years old, a madman who killed all his servants and disciples."

At this point, Ling Ming's eyes darkened, and he let out a long sigh, seemingly feeling a bit sentimental: "This really hit a nerve... Back then, I didn't have much experience, and my disciples died for no reason... They were all very promising talents."

His face was full of sorrow, he covered his face with a cypress fan, and clutched his chest with his other hand, as if he truly felt regret and pain.

But then he changed the subject, saying, "Most importantly, so much flesh and blood was wasted."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood that this guy had gone completely mad.

"You son of a bitch..." Kotaro clenched his fist and was about to step forward.

But Lu Zizhen stopped him, squinting as she said, "Before we start, there's something I'm curious about, Mr. Ling Ming."

Ling Ming glanced at Lu Zizhen, his eyes filled with obvious coldness: "Do you have anything else to say?"

"What's it like to possess a crown and use its power?" Lu Zizhen tilted her head, the retractable swords in her hands already faintly glowing.

"Is your madness and paranoia due to the influence of the crown, or are you just like this to begin with?"

Ling Ming fell silent.

The others standing nearby were somewhat confused, with Kotaro even asking bluntly, "What crown? Miss Lu, what are you talking about?"

Ling Ming slowly removed the cypress fan from his mouth, his eyes suddenly filled with a bloodthirsty light.

The half-face visible beneath the cypress fan startled everyone.

His once perfectly proportioned features had completely disappeared; Ling Ming's mouth and nose had all blossomed like flowers.

Layers of flesh and blood were piled up, interspersed with pale white sharp teeth, like white sand sprinkled on a rose that was about to bloom.

"Miss Lu, which type do I look like?" he said in a sinister tone, his gaping maw throbbing as he spoke, a truly terrifying sight.

Chapter 130 The Barrier Breaks!

Its bizarre appearance, which had transcended human form and was not even a demon, had shocked everyone.

Lu Zizhen also lowered her head noticeably, with a strange expression, and said, "It's disgusting... I have to say, no matter what the outcome, your taste is really terrible."

"Heh heh..." Ling Ming let out a cold laugh. A smooth, long tongue emerged from his gaping maw and twitched lightly in the air. He said, "The accumulation of flesh and blood, this indiscriminate appearance that distinguishes between monsters and humans, is the life I pursue. Miss Lu seems unable to understand this."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of sticky sounds echoed from the dark corridor behind him, as if many lumps of flesh were constantly colliding.

Behind Ling Ming, many humanoid figures crawled out. These figures barely maintained their physical form, but even important parts like the spine were not in their original places. Bones and flesh were haphazardly piled up to resemble human bodies, and muscles were arranged in a completely illogical way.

This is an absolute monster, perhaps even lacking self-awareness. It is Ling Ming's most primitive yet most powerful creation, a soulless monster that merely craves flesh and blood.

He gently raised his hand, his eyes narrowed, and the red light within them gradually faded. Fleshy tentacles emerged from his narrowed eye sockets, sending chills down one's spine.

"Gentlemen," his voice had become hoarse, making one feel uneasy, "please, observe my way of treating guests."

Then, he suddenly waved his hand!

The monsters collided with each other, staggering as they ran towards the group, using both hands and feet!

"Buy me some time!" Lu Zizhen raised her twin swords, and people then noticed that the light from her swords was now slowly seeping into the surrounding walls.

Everything she said before was just stalling for time, except for that last question.

"It's time to fight to the death!" Old Wolf shouted and charged out first.

Kotaro followed closely behind, his armor gradually prying open the leather suit. The already patched-up suit eventually shattered into dust, and the dark green knight seemed to have shed his heavy shell, transforming into a light locust.

Aida Gaku whispered a Buddhist chant, his boxing gloves...

The light shone brightly, and they rushed forward as well.

Xue Qing stood guard beside Lu Zizhen, holding her sword. He was the strongest person here, so she had to protect Lu Zizhen and help him completely break the barrier.

Only by breaking the barrier can Dou Tang enter. Dou Tang had already discovered when he entered the private academy with Lu Zizhen that he was naturally incompatible with the resentment barrier.

If one had to say, perhaps it's because he inherently possesses a world within him, and so far, the only barrier that can accept him with a resentment barrier is the low-level barrier set up by the brainless monk, which is simply for the purpose of concealing his true intentions.

Those fleshy humanoid figures didn't move very fast, and their bodies, which seemed to defy the laws of physics, were incredibly weak. But when Old Wolf and Kotaro actually came into contact with the enemy, they were suddenly surprised to find that these guys were ridiculously strong!

Kotaro roared and his fists and feet flew like the wind as he fought the flesh-and-blood humanoid. His bone spikes, which were originally invincible, could cut through the flesh-and-blood humanoid's muscles, but they could not cut through the bones at all. The pale white surface of the bones was permeated with scarlet fine lines, as if this was the key to these monsters' movement.

Old Wolf was also in a tough fight, even worse than Kotaro. The heavy, stench of the fleshy humanoid was an unbearable torment for him, and he had no choice but to dodge in close combat. The two-meter-tall werewolf monster was even showing signs of fighting and retreating.

Aida Gaku rushed over from behind and punched a monster in the face. The light on the gauntlet actually aroused the reaction of the bones, and the blood-red patterns on the surface of the bones also began to glow, then gradually dimmed and even disappeared.

"Your attacks are more effective than ours! What's going on?" Old Wolf asked, kicking a monster in front of him away.

"The method of exorcism... requires sincerely reciting scriptures before Buddha for fifteen days." Aida Gaku's face showed bitterness: "You definitely can't do it!"

The old wolf's dog face was full of admiration: "You bald guy can actually sit for so long, I didn't know that..."

"Don't you need to go to the toilet?"

Veins bulged on Aida Gaku's forehead as he punched a monster away, angrily shouting, "Just keep a normal routine! Is this the time to ask this kind of question?!"

He had barely finished speaking when he was struck by a lump of yellow fat from one of the monsters, causing him to stagger and reveal a sticky, greasy stain mixed with blood on his shoulder.

"Disgusting!" he roared, charging forward again.

These fleshy monsters seemed endless, occupying half the corridor. Not far behind them, the eerie Ling Ming walked slowly forward, confident and calm.

"A futile struggle. I'm truly surprised you've come looking for me." He said as he walked, "The exorcists will be returning to Urayasu City soon. I thought you'd give up, but I never expected you'd actually come knocking..."

He pointed at Old Wolf and Kotaro: "You two are my most valued achievements. Even if you escape for a while, I will chase you to the ends of the earth."

"Now that you've walked right into my trap, it really saves me a lot of trouble."

Kotaro continued to fight the monster in front of him, yelling at the top of his lungs, "You bastard! Just you wait, I'll rip your head off and use it as a ball!"

Ling Ming wasn't annoyed; he simply waved his hand, and the flesh-and-blood monster's attack became even more ferocious.

Caught off guard, the old wolf's arm was entangled by a fleshy monster. The monster was made up of vertebrae, some human and some of other animals, which, like giant pythons, coiled around the old wolf's arm.

"Help!" The old wolf cried out for help as soon as he realized he couldn't break free.

Aida Gaku jumped up, kicking a monster away and using the momentum to fly forward. As agile as an ape, he punched the monster in front of the old wolf with both fists, and the strange spine instantly shattered into a pile of bones.

Old Wolf withdrew his hand with lingering fear, but his sharp claws reached out and grabbed at Aida Gaku!

Aida Gaku felt a chill run down his spine and immediately crouched down. The sharp wolf claws flashed across his scalp, swatting away a fleshy monster that was trying to ambush him.

"You should have said something!" Aida Gaku cursed.

"There's no time to explain!" The old wolf knew he could dodge, but he didn't have time to explain further and was now fighting the surging flesh and blood monsters.

Not far behind the three, Lu Zizhen closed her eyes and occasionally moved her hands gently to adjust the position of her twin swords.

The tiny rays of light that the talismans transformed into gradually melted into the nearby walls.

Finally, she suddenly opened her eyes.

"It's done!"

The two swords were suddenly raised! In an instant, the corridor, which had previously only contained the sounds of battle, was suddenly filled with countless voices!

Cars honked on the street outside, rain pattered down, and the wind howled like a vengeful ghost!

Chapter 131 Ambition for Life and Death

The barrier has been broken!

The barrier that had originally isolated everything from the outside world was finally completely destroyed by Lu Zizhen.

The sounds of the outside world rushed into the corridor, and the eerie sounds of the flesh-and-blood monsters rubbing their limbs were immediately drowned out by the noise of the city. Even louder than all of this was the noisy and incessant sound of rain.

Lu Zizhen was overjoyed. He brandished his sword and rushed forward.

Seeing that she no longer needed to protect him, Xueqing also drew her sword and stepped forward.

The situation for Kotaro and his companions improved considerably. Although the flesh-and-blood monster was troublesome, Michiko Sada's longsword and Aida Gaku's fists were able to launch highly effective attacks, causing the flesh-and-blood monster to fester under their exorcism power.

It cannot be reorganized.

The five people walked down the corridor, leaving a trail of flesh and blood behind them. The bones and muscles that belonged to no one finally turned into lifeless objects and collapsed to the ground.

Even so, the Onmyoji Ling Ming in the distance remained unmoved, covering half of his face with a cypress fan, and remained silent, like a puppet.

“It’s infuriating… Can’t you learn to cherish life?” His voice was strange and sticky. “Of course, you’re young and can’t understand how terrible lifespan is for a person.”

He gently shook his cypress fan and began to mutter incoherently: "People in the city are no different from those living in the jungle, living a precarious life. Even those in high positions of power are constantly troubled by it."

"Death is such a terrible thing. No matter how great the achievements of history or how much people yearn for immortality, none of them have succeeded in escaping death. Only I, my friends, only I have escaped it."

He waved his hand gently, and a golden crown slowly floated out of the darkness above his head.

Upon seeing the crown, Lu Zizhen's eyes sharpened.

Aida Gaku chuckled and said, "As expected, I wouldn't believe it if you said this extraordinary and bizarre power wasn't due to the crown!"

Lu Zizhen raised his hand, and the talisman on the sword ignited, cleaving a monster in two. At the same time, he said, "You know about the crown?"

"Of course I know!" Aida Yue continued fighting, dragging over a monster in front of Old Wolf and punching it.

"What are you talking about?!" Kotaro asked, puzzled.

The Onmyoji Ling Ming, who was not far away, shouted: "Silence! You rude idiots!"

Of course, no one listened to him, but they all wanted to hear what else he had to say.

Onmyoji Ling Ming continued, "This mysterious power grants me the strength to resist the call of the Underworld. Don't you understand? This so-called Crown Game is about challenging the rules and limits of this world!"

"And I am the one who has severed ties with life and death!"

Aida Gaku suddenly retorted with a cold face, "Ah, here comes one of those villains who desperately want immortality."

Xueqing suddenly couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"Everyone has the desire to live forever, right?" Lu Zizhen said.

Onmyoji Ling Ming snorted coldly and suddenly swung his cypress fan with his left hand.

The crown on his head began to glow, and the blood and flesh patterns engraved on it seemed to come alive, with countless white bones sinking in a sea of ​​blood and flesh, like a scene from hell.

Those flesh-and-blood monsters began to change. They became more aggressive, and their flesh and bones continued to recombine and deform, becoming more regular and more like real creatures.

“Kill you all, and then I will win the Crown Game.” Onmyoji Ling Ming tilted his head, which seemed to be broken off and rested on his shoulder. His eyes, which no longer had eyeballs, were now just empty space and tentacles. In his enormous mouth, sharp teeth kept wriggling.

"Then, I will become the new Yellow Springs, where the obsessions and souls of all the dead, and even their bodies, will be reincarnated with my permission!"

………………

Dou Tang stood quietly in the rain, looking at the hospital across the street.

Jiangdao Yizai stood beside him, the white skeleton still wearing that iconic white coat, soaked by the rain—a life memory he could not sever.

The two were waiting for the barrier around the hospital across the street to break.

For the two of them, the resentment and obsession they represented were too great to be contained by the barrier. Apart from a barrier that did not resist the resentment at all, the two of them could not enter any complete resentment barrier, that is, the barrier set up by the exorcist.

In other words, the two are undoubtedly evil spirits, and they will be kept outside the circle drawn by Sun Wukong unless someone breaks the barrier from inside the circle, or the two forcibly tear the barrier apart.

However, Onmyoji Lingming's barrier will definitely have a huge impact on those who forcibly break in. If they are caught off guard, they will suffer a great loss.

That's why they chose to have Lu Zizhen secretly make a hole and then break through from the inside.

Suddenly, Ejima Iya said, "Kiryu-kun, when do you think would be a good time for us to die?"

Dou Tang's expression turned strange: "Huh?"
