Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 141 Taro Kawamoto

"Hmph, are you trying to give that little girl a chance to escape?" Kawamoto Taro sneered. "But—it's no use! None of you will get away!" He roared, and as soon as he finished speaking, a white ball of spiritual energy shot out from the demon mask again, this time targeting Xiaoying.

"Blazing Dance!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted, and a fireball was launched.

"Bang!" The fireball intercepted the spirit energy ball halfway, and the two exploded together. Xiaoying's small figure moved further and further away. At this time, the effect of the flare had weakened, and the distant mountain wall could no longer be seen.

"Now your opponent is me," he said coldly to Kawamoto Taro. "You'd better concentrate, or you'll suffer a terrible death!"

"Is that so?" Kawamoto Taro sneered, glancing at Xiaoying before saying, "Fine, she can't escape anyway, I'll deal with you first."

"This is the wise choice." Although he said that, Qin Xiaochuan was helpless. As long as the opponent had that puppet doll, his skills were ineffective. In addition, he could not ignore the opponent's white mist. It could be said that this was the most troublesome enemy he had ever encountered.

However, in this vast darkness, it won't be easy for Kawamoto to find Xiaoying. Once Han Kexin receives the little girl's distress signal, she will definitely rush to save her. Therefore, his task is simply to stall Kawamoto before Han Kexin finds Xiaoying. In this way, he still has a good chance of succeeding.

"Kid, don't you dare get distracted, or you'll die a horrible death." Amidst Kawamoto Taro's cold laughter, a white ball of spiritual energy shot over.

Qin Xiaochuan naturally didn't take this level of attack seriously. He easily dodged the attack by gently shifting to the side.

Unexpectedly, the spirit energy ball that he had dodged suddenly changed direction and quickly adhered to his body like a magnet.

"What?" Qin Xiaochuan stared in surprise at the white ball, but dared not stop for a moment. He had to release the Xuanwu Shield before it exploded.

"Damn it, it's too late." He thought to himself in alarm. Suddenly, the white spiritual energy ball lit up and then exploded with a "bang." He felt his body lighten and was then thrown into the air by the huge impact.

Kawamoto Taro, who had gotten the better deal, laughed smugly. "I forgot to tell you, my steam bomb is not only powerful, but it can also automatically attach itself to the enemy, making it impossible to dodge. Haha."

Qin Xiaochuan got up from the ground and coughed a few times. The power of this spiritual energy ball was indeed not to be underestimated; it had shaken him so much that he could hardly breathe.

"Hmm? You can still stand up, that's quite tenacious." Kawamoto Taro frowned. "Then let me show you the power of three more bombs."

"Steam Chain Bomb!" Kawamoto Taro shouted, and with his voice, the masked man fired three white spiritual energy balls in succession, shooting towards Qin Xiaochuan in a triangular formation.

One spirit energy ball was already too much for him, let alone three. In this extremely urgent situation, he almost didn't think twice before sending out a Blazing Dance to intercept one of the explosive balls in mid-air, while simultaneously raising the Xuanwu Shield to meet the other two.

boom!boom!

Unsurprisingly, he was blasted into the air again. The immense impact made him momentarily believe that he had been blown in two.

"Cough, cough, cough." Qin Xiaochuan got up from the ground and rubbed the painful area on his shoulder. This place was full of sharp stones, and falling on it felt no better than being directly hit by a bomb. In just a short while, he had several bruises on his body.

"What kind of bullshit chain bombs are these? They're nothing special, they can't do anything to me." Qin Xiaochuan gritted his teeth and mocked Kawamoto Taro. Although he couldn't beat his opponent, his spirit didn't falter at all. After all, he couldn't lose face even if he lost the fight.

Kawamoto Taro gave a cold "humph" and said, "I admit you are more tenacious than I thought, but you cannot escape from me—I just need to change my battle strategy."

Upon hearing the other party's words, Qin Xiaochuan immediately focused his attention and became vigilant. He saw a wisp of white smoke appear beside Kawamoto Taro and drift towards him.

Although he didn't know what the white mist was, Qin Xiaochuan was well aware of its power. Without any hesitation, he immediately turned around and ran away. In any case, his plan was not to defeat the opponent, but to stall him as much as possible. Running away was the best strategy.

Seeing the white mist getting closer and closer, he ran with all his might, but after only a few steps, his steps became heavier and heavier. He was startled and looked down, only to find that a cloud of white mist was spreading from his feet up to his body. Just like before, once the mist completely engulfed him, he was unable to move again.

"Damn it, when did this appear?" Qin Xiaochuan stared in shock at the increasingly thick fog in his eyes, unable to understand how this ghostly thing had appeared at his feet. To make matters worse, the ghostly mask that had been far away from him had somehow flown to his side. Looking at the long red tongue that lingered outside the giant mouth, he had no idea what he would face next.

The flare's light dimmed a bit more, and darkness enveloped it from all directions. Upon closer inspection of the gluttonous ghost-like face, Qin Xiaochuan realized that its shape was actually even more terrifying. He couldn't help but swallow hard, his mind constantly wondering what it would do to him next.

However, Oni Mask did nothing and was summoned back by Kawamoto Taro, who then took out his matryoshka doll.

"Oh no." Qin Xiaochuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw the matryoshka dolls.

"I bet you haven't forgotten what it felt like to be locked up in there," Kawamoto Taro chuckled sinisterly. "I just wonder who will come to rescue you this time? Of course, before I drain your spiritual energy completely, hahaha."

As Kawamoto Taro spoke, he recited a spell, and the matryoshka doll grew larger again and opened its gaping maw, revealing a gray vortex inside.

A tremendous force instantly surged towards Qin Xiaochuan, and his body involuntarily flew towards the gray vortex. Just when he thought he was doomed, a red ribbon suddenly wrapped around his waist, followed by a powerful force that pulled him back.

"You're not allowed to take Uncle away." A childish voice rang out behind him.

He turned around and saw Xiaoying, who was holding the imperial edict ribbon in her hand, looking annoyed.

When Qin Xiaochuan first saw the little girl, he felt a mix of emotions, but he quickly came to his senses and shouted at her, "Didn't I tell you to hide? Why did you come back?"

Seeing Qin Xiaochuan yell at her, the little girl's face paled for a moment, then she lowered her head. "Because Xiaoying doesn't want to leave Uncle," she said softly. "I won't let anyone take Uncle away."
