Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 158

The fact that the exorcists gathered here was quite a show of force, and in fact, it was.

Although Dou Tang, posing as Mr. Ren, decisively defeated the Kubinashi, and there were even rumors that he defeated Mao Lang, Taira no Masakado's most capable demon subordinate, exorcists don't judge a person based on rumors. Today's gathering will bring many exorcists skilled in direct combat, who will "test" Dou Tang's abilities.

Dou Tang was the first to rebel against Taira no Masakado, but now that he had taken the lead, the exorcist began to think about how he could use this incident to his advantage. If he defeated this ringleader, it seemed possible that he could become the leader against Taira no Masakado.

If someone takes the lead and then benefits from it, wouldn't that be wonderful? This is the thought in the minds of most exorcists.

Tou-tang took the train and arrived at Ningyocho, the central ward of Tokyo, in a very low-key manner. Ningyocho Station is an underground station, and you can enjoy the unique streetscape of Ningyocho from the station.

Ningyocho's streets are somewhat different from Tokyo's ordinary streets. They have an extremely regular grid-like structure. The special thing about these grid-like structures is that there are very few buildings in each grid. Basically, four or five detached houses are considered a street, and each street may be less than 100 meters long.

Wide roads and numerous intersections create Ningyocho's unique street atmosphere. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is the most expensive and luxurious area in central Tokyo, and a well-known residential area for the wealthy.

Dou Tang strolled slowly along the street and noticed that there were many luxury cars parked on the streets nearby, especially near the Water Palace.

Dou Tang had no interest in the spacious and majestic Japanese-style shrine of Shui Tian Gong, so he turned directly into the street and came to a public venue next to it.

These venues serve many purposes, mostly providing meeting places for companies located near Ningyocho. They are essentially similar to the large conference rooms often found in hotels, except that the conference room function has been separated out.

The venue occupies a considerable area, suggesting that its target clients from the outset have been large, well-funded companies. It even has a parking lot for buses.

The venue in front of us looks like an ordinary three-story building, and tall buildings are not allowed near the Water Palace.

Dou Tang walked into the front yard and arrived at the lobby, which resembled a hotel lobby. A waiter in a suit approached him and bowed, asking, "Hello, sir, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm here to attend the 'memorial service,' which floor is it on?"

The so-called 'worship ceremony' is just the name of the exorcists' gathering. Of course, this name is just to cover up the truth. After all, when it comes to worship, the nearest shrine is definitely Suitengu Shrine, but Suitengu Shrine is in charge of safe childbirth. Who has ever heard of having a meeting to worship the god of safe childbirth?

The waiter looked surprised upon hearing this, glanced at Dou Tang who was empty-handed, and suddenly leaned forward mysteriously, saying, "You must be Mr. Ren, right?"

Dou Tang frowned slightly and said, "That's right, what's wrong?"

"Why did you come empty-handed?" the waiter asked anxiously.

Clearly, he was someone who understood the true purpose of this meeting, not an ordinary person. "Many martial arts and swordsmanship exorcists are here today, and they all want to test your abilities! But you didn't even bring a weapon!"

Dou Tang explained, "Weapons are not allowed on the tram."

The waiter was speechless, unsure how to respond.

Even if an ordinary exorcist doesn't have a driver or a luxury car, they would at least drive a private car. But the real protagonist of this entire meeting... actually came by tram.

Are these office workers from somewhere?

Dou Tang continued, "Thank you for your concern, but empty-handed is enough. Please tell me where the meeting will be held."

The waiter forced a smile and said, "You...you really won't reconsider?"

He swallowed hard, looked around, and continued, "In fact... the exorcists who came this time are all from long-established families, and the sword masters among them are among the best in the world..."

"As for martial arts... Mr. Ren, from the moment you stepped through the door, you were already in the meeting room, or rather... yes, in the room for your review."

Upon hearing this, Dou Tang looked around curiously and indeed found several people sitting or standing in the sofa rest areas on both sides of the hall.

Those people all had sharp eyes, staring at Dou Tang as if he were prey, and some even cracked their knuckles.

Dou Tang withdrew his gaze, raised his head slightly, and said arrogantly, "Are these people... just idle people who can't even get into the venue?"

The waiter's face immediately turned ashen, and those who had been observing Dou Tang naturally heard this. Among them, a muscular, broad-shouldered man got up from the sofa and walked over with an unfriendly expression.

His hands were covered in thick calluses, clearly indicating he was a skilled grappler.

"Mr. Ren, I've heard you're arrogant and domineering, but I never imagined you could be this arrogant. Do you think you don't respect all the martial arts exorcists in Tokyo?"

Dou Tang glanced at him and said, "I'm here to see an exorcist, not a martial artist. What, are you going to use your bare hands to fight against vengeful spirits and evil spirits?"

The burly man snorted coldly, strode forward, and stretched out his hands like bear paws towards Dou Tang, shouting at the same time, "Whether these hands can exorcise evil spirits or not, you'll have to experience it for yourself!"

Dou Tang closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly. When the big man approached, he suddenly opened his eyes and glared at him. The blue light in his eyes burst forth like a wildfire, shocking people's souls.

At the same time, Dou Tang twisted his shoulder and leaned forward on one leg, twisting his fingers into a claw and swinging it upwards like an eagle's claw rising up and flying backwards, striking the wrist of one of the big man's hands. His fingers dug hard into the muscles on the inside of the wrist and pulled downwards.

"puff!"

Dou Tang stopped, his hands already covered in blood.

From the moment the move was launched until it was withdrawn, the burly man was still immersed in the oppressive aura emanating from Dou Tang's eyes. It wasn't until the excruciating pain in his wrist crept up his arm and into his brain that he let out a scream and stumbled back several steps.

Dou Tang didn't sever his tendons directly. Instead, he pulled off a few strips of soft flesh nearby and manipulated the tendons. Although it wouldn't leave him crippled, the pain in the short term would be unbearable.

Dou Tang snorted coldly and said, "I don't want to waste time. Anyone else who wants to test my skills, come on over."

Chapter 59 Counterattack

The burly man clutched his blood-soaked hand, his eyes wide with rage, blood gushing from his right hand.

"Too arrogant!"

Someone nearby called out.

Then, the crowd, who had been holding back, rushed forward. In an instant, several people rushed forward, throwing punches and kicks at Dou Tang.

Dou Tang suddenly bent down, transforming into a black shadow and rushing into the arms of the person directly opposite him. He grabbed the person's hips with both hands and threw him backward, lifting him off the ground and flinging him away. He then used the momentum to escape the encirclement, leaping forward a few steps before turning around, his fists clenched as he warily watched the group.

After catching the person who was thrown by Dou Tang, several people who looked like they had been immersed in martial arts for many years rushed up to fight Dou Tang head-on, each with a different starting stance from their respective schools, and they looked very experienced.

These people are not simply exorcists, but exorcists who integrate martial arts with exorcism. Most of them also have dojos and other assets in the normal world, and do not make a living entirely from exorcism. Their skill levels also vary.

This is why they are ostracized by exorcists. Although most exorcists are also fame-seeking individuals, their arrogance towards ordinary people is genuine. These half-black and half-white people, whose exorcism skills are not very good, are naturally not taken seriously.

Therefore, when a Mr. Ren, who supposedly defeated Juyin Shouwu by force, appeared, this group of people began to have designs on him.

Firstly, he had a sense of pride he wanted to unleash and wanted to test just how capable this legendary Mr. Ren really was.

Secondly, they planned to find out Mr. Ren's background and see if they could further improve the strength of these unarmed martial arts practitioners because of him.

Although he is said to be a skilled swordsman, both Aida Gaku from Kamogawa and Kōzen Ryūyū from Tokyo gave him a thumbs up for his unarmed combat ability.

Looking at it now, although he dismantled a master's moves in one move, his methods were far too ruthless!

The burly man at the head of the group, striking a karate pose, angrily retorted, "Mr. Ren! You're making far too many promises! You're still so young, don't you know how to respect your seniors?"

senior?

Dou Tang tilted his head and thought for a moment, deeply...

He frowned and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I have no relation to you, and you can't be considered my seniors."

"Arrogant brat... take this!"

The burly karate man thrust his rear foot forward, then suddenly lifted his front foot off the ground, instantly taking a step forward and kicking towards Dou Tang's face!

Dou Tang crossed his hands and raised them forward to block the kick, then took a half step back. He then used one hand to push the strong man's right leg to the other side, exposing the strong man's sideways position.

He leaned forward, lifting the strong man's right leg with his right hand to prevent him from pulling it back, while simultaneously striking the strong man's ribs with his left hand.

Any large-scale action against Dou Tang is suicidal. As soon as Dou Tang catches the flaw in a large-scale action with his reaction speed, he will break through it instantly.

In combat with others, Dou Tang, imbued with Mr. Ren's own characteristics, is invincible; the reactions contained within his flesh and bones are imprinted by countless generations of ancestors.

Martial arts have their limits, but the unique existence of "Mr. Ren" does not. As long as a Mr. Ren has witnessed a certain move, any subsequent generation can naturally master it.

Physical strength has its limits, and reaction speed has its limits, but the martial arts beyond those limits seem to be accessible only to special beings like evil spirits.

That's experience.

Dou Tang's left fist jutted out the knuckle of his middle finger, making a swift, cracking sound. With two sharp "thuds," the karate burly man cried out in pain, and his hands, which were preparing to retaliate, began to twitch.

Dou Tang pushed him backward by supporting his legs. The burly karate man clutched his ribs with one hand, his whole body convulsing in pain. He took a few steps back and stopped, beads of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Although the group in front of him were all famous martial arts masters in Tokyo, they seemed unable to last more than a few rounds against Dou Tang. However, his defeat was not simply due to a lack of physical strength.

Don't forget, before gaining the ability of Fall Guys, Dou Tang had always used his own body to fight against evil spirits.

Ordinary methods cannot harm evil spirits, but Dou Tang's physical body itself is a weapon to harm evil spirits. With such a good weapon, all that needs to be honed is skill.

Dou Tang stood with his hands behind his back and said, "I have no intention of hurting anyone again. If you welcome me, then we can talk. If you don't welcome me, then there's no need for this."

“I don’t need to prove my strength to anyone. I’m here by invitation, not because I need anything from you. If this is how you treat your guests, then I’ll leave immediately.”

"Well said, Mr. Ren."

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind Dou Tang.

Dou Tang turned around and was somewhat taken aback.

Lu Zizhen, wearing a long dress, stood in front of the elevator with a smile on her lips, looking at him.

Just as Dou Tang was about to ask her why she was here, Lu Zizhen stepped forward first and said, "Mr. Ren, your strength is certainly different from these lousy fish and shrimps. Of course, you have to understand that some old stubborn people cannot tolerate some young person suddenly appearing and dancing on their heads. They also believe that seniority and age are enough to represent everything."

Lu Zizhen shrugged: "If only that were the case. Japan might have been able to use its centuries-old samurai swords to cut through those iron lumps that had caused so many years of damage when facing the Black Ships, and history would have been rewritten."

Dou Tang smiled, while the faces of the martial arts exorcists turned ashen.

Lu Zizhen extended a hand toward Dou Tang and said, "I'm here to welcome you, Mr. Ren."

It seems that Lu Zizhen doesn't recognize herself in this group of people's eyes...

After Dou Tang understood, he smiled, took Lu Zizhen's hand, and said, "I can tell that you are more enthusiastic than these people."

Lu Zizhen shook hands with Dou Tang briefly before separating, then turned to the group of martial arts exorcists and said, "To be honest, you guys are even dumber than I thought."

"You! You stinking woman..."

Hearing the curses from those people, Lu Zizhen's expression remained unchanged. Suddenly, she flipped her wrist, and a stack of talismans appeared in her hand as if by magic.

Those people immediately fell silent; after all, no one wanted to provoke this crazy woman.

Offending her will bring you no benefit, but rather a lot of trouble. And she... she really is someone who, if you say anything that makes her unhappy, will immediately summon lightning to strike you!

Thunder magic... all exorcism methods involving celestial phenomena have an extremely low success rate, but this does not include Lu Zizhen, because this woman is really hardworking. If the success rate of a thunder talisman is one percent, then she will definitely throw out one or two hundred in one go.

Lu Zizhen waved the talisman and said, "Alright everyone, let's go in. Now that the main character has arrived, the meeting will begin soon."

Dou Tang glanced at her, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Chapter 60 Exorcist Gathering

The atmosphere in the meeting room was somewhat serious.

The person who proposed hosting the meeting was one of the priests of the nearby Suitengu Shrine, named Suiten Keisaburo. He was an orphan who was abandoned in front of Suitengu Shrine in his early years. He was later adopted and grew up in an orphanage before returning to Suitengu Shrine to become a priest. To express his gratitude, he changed his surname to Suiten Keisaburo.

What's even stranger is that the person who organized the Tokyo Exorcists' Conference was actually an ordinary person.

In a sense, Suiten Kyosaburo is a bridge between the world of ordinary people and the world of exorcists.

Dou Tang followed Lu Zizhen into the conference room and immediately saw Shui Tian Jing Sanlang at the end of the long table. This Shui Tian priest looked to be over seventy years old, with a serious and stern face, a bald head, a long beard, and his beard and eyebrows were already white.

Dou Tang entered, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Welcome, Mr. Ren. Please have a seat."

Dou Tang looked at the luxurious mahogany chair in front of him with its back to him, walked over and sat down, while Lu Zizhen sat down in the crowd to his right.

Besides the people sitting around the long table, there were other people in the conference room, all sitting in ordinary chairs against the wall, looking like listeners.

The people sitting around the oval table are the real protagonists of today's event.

Dou Tang glanced around and saw that besides the people dressed in priestly robes, there were also many modern exorcists dressed in fashionable and gorgeous clothes. The most eye-catching one was Lu Zizhen, who had an unruly temperament. There were also many people sitting around her, most of whom were dressed in strange costumes and looked like a group of people who had just returned from a Halloween parade. Lu Zizhen was the most ordinary one among them.

Of course, Dou Tang also saw the old man with a knife who had clashed with him before. The people around him all seemed to have some connection with him, and almost everyone was carrying a knife. Dou Tang even saw someone carrying a naginata.

Among the crowd, Dou Tang also spotted the bald monk Aida Gaku and the man in a suit, Shinzen Ryuyu.

There are many different methods of exorcism, and the best of each school are basically all here.

After Dou Tang sat down, he looked at Shui Tianjing Sanlang in front of him. He already knew the other party's name from the invitation, so he said, "Mr. Shui Tianjing, the weather is quite nice today."

Shui Tianjing Sanlang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "That's right, it's a warm and sunny day today!"

Dou Tang didn't continue the conversation. Instead, he took out a few tissues from the tissue box on the table, poured some water from his glass, soaked the tissues, and began wiping the blood off his hands.

Wiping away the blood, Dou Tang said, "Sorry, those guys at the door who don't recognize guests are a bit of a problem."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people's expressions turned ugly.

Those martial arts exorcists were not of high status to begin with, and they were only encouraged by others to try Dou Tang's skills. Now, they have made a fool of themselves and are being ridiculed.

But no matter what, there are many well-known seniors among them. How can this boy, who looks to be under twenty, be so arrogant? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?

Shui Tianjing Sanlang smiled and said, "It must be a minor trouble for Mr. Ren."

Dou Tang casually tossed aside the blood-stained tissue and said, "Mr. Shui Tianjing, let's get down to business. Since you like to intimidate me, I should return the favor."

Dou Tang held up one finger: "I only have one question."
