Chapter 58 - 56: The Arrival of Jiang Chaosheng

Chapter 58: Chapter 56: The Arrival of Jiang Chaosheng

The battle in Xinghua Alley was drawing to a close.

Liu Wei fell from the sky as the Poisonous Dragon dissipated.

He glared at the sneering Seimei Misawa, reaching a hand out toward him.

However, the Poisonous Dragon would no longer coalesce.

It seemed inevitable that a second Investigator would have to use the Five Emperors Poison Coin tonight.

Liu Wei lay on the ground, his mouth agape. Black, toxic blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his body reeked of a foul stench.

At this moment, Seimei Misawa was looking more and more like a fox.

His eyes glowed with white light, within which crimson, slitted pupils could be faintly seen.

A faint white glow enveloped his ears, solidifying into the shape of snow-white fox ears.

Behind him, nine thick fox tails, like tongues of fire, swayed slowly in the wind.

Seimei Misawa sneered,

"You... what exactly were you burning away?

Once I get the Divine Artifact from you, and then the Divine Artifact from that Xia Kingdom Yin Yang Master, hehehe...

I’ll personally pay a visit to the Anomaly Administration Bureau and slaughter your precious Director.

The Xia Kingdom will be the first personal garden for my Seimei Family after we ascend to become a Divine Family.

Speaking of which, your Xia Kingdom Yin Yang Master is a real coward.

I’ve been here, tearing your people to shreds, and he still hasn’t shown his face."

No one paid any mind to Seimei Misawa’s incessant rambling.

’Tonight, he absolutely must not leave this place alive.’

"Team Leader!"

Li Mingyue ran to Liu Wei’s side and tried to hold him.

But as soon as she touched him, her hands came away with a mass of putrid blood and rotten flesh.

The poison from the surrounding area had been eating away at him for a full half-hour.

After such toxic exposure, his body was like a corpse that had been dead for over a year.

But Liu Wei wasn’t dead yet.

He struggled to raise his left hand, revealing the five copper coins on his palm.

Liu Wei’s eyes slowly turned to another Investigator who was already prepared, his gaze filled with profound guilt.

The Investigator grinned and gave Liu Wei a thumbs-up.

"You were damn cool today, Team Leader!"

Seimei Misawa sneered,

"No matter how much you ants from the Xia Kingdom struggle, it’s useless.

You simply don’t understand the thousand-year extraordinary heritage of East Sakura!"

The Investigator took two steps forward, about to pick up the five Five Emperors Poison Coins.

Li Mingyue froze for a moment, then quickly reached out to grab them.

When Seimei Misawa saw the five Five Emperors Poison Coins, his eyes filled with intense Greed.

’They’re mine.’

The five poison coins floated up, quickly leaving Liu Wei’s hand.

This sudden turn of events stunned Liu Wei, Li Mingyue, and all the Investigators.

They could only watch helplessly as the Five Emperors Poison Coins flew toward Seimei Misawa.

A wide grin spread across Seimei Misawa’s face as he was about to grab the Five Emperors Poison Coins.

Suddenly, a powerful suction force appeared.

The Five Emperors Poison Coins, just as they were about to fall into Seimei Misawa’s grasp, shot toward the end of the street.

Seimei Misawa frantically reached out to grab them, but the Five Emperors Poison Coins had already reached a vintage car at the end of the street.

Beside the car stood an elderly man dressed in black, his face masked.

It was he who had snatched the Five Emperors Poison Coins from Seimei Misawa’s grasp.

Seimei Misawa demanded in a sharp voice,

"Who are you?"

The elderly man in black walked to the rear door and opened it, like a dedicated chauffeur.

A young man in a black suit got out of the car.

The raindrops seemed to have a will of their own, forming a fine mist around him that obscured his face.

The elderly man in black respectfully handed the Five Emperors Poison Coins to the young man.

Feeling ignored, Seimei Misawa snapped in fury,

"Who the hell are you!"

Jiang Chaosheng lifted his gaze.

"Haven’t you been looking for me?"

Seimei Misawa was stunned for a moment, then a mocking smile crept onto his lips.

"So you’re that Yin Yang Master from the Xia Kingdom.

Couldn’t bear to watch your people get slaughtered by me anymore?

Hahahahahaha..."

Seimei Misawa’s laughter stopped abruptly, and he stared viciously at Jiang Chaosheng.

"Hand over the Divine Artifact, and I might spare your life."

Jiang Chaosheng chuckled softly, his gaze shifting to the side of the street.

The pieces of Yang Xiao’s body lay there, unable to reform after being burned by the Fox Fire.

The Jing River Dragon King instantly understood Jiang Chaosheng’s meaning. He formed the Infinite Seal with his left hand, pointed at Yang Xiao’s body, and the Fox Fire was instantly extinguished.

With the Fox Fire on Yang Xiao’s body parts extinguished, they regained the ability to move and gradually melted into the shadows on the ground.

After saving Yang Xiao, the Jing River Dragon King looked at the rapidly decaying Liu Wei in Li Mingyue’s arms, a rare hint of pity in his eyes.

He pointed at Liu Wei again.

A cool water mist shot out and enveloped Liu Wei, restoring his body.

A look of relief washed over Liu Wei’s face. He took one last, deep look at Jiang Chaosheng before closing his eyes.

Li Mingyue gently closed Liu Wei’s eyes.

All the Investigators were wary of Jiang Chaosheng and his companion.

The Investigators had heard of them.

These were the mysterious Extraordinary Beings from the Xia Kingdom who had resolved the Ghost Government Office incident.

It was obvious that Jiang Chaosheng was here for Seimei Misawa and the Five Emperors Poison Coin.

’Can Jiang Chaosheng even beat Seimei Misawa?’ they wondered.

Even after using the Five Emperors Poison Coin for half an hour at the cost of his own life, Liu Wei had only managed to smudge the hem of Seimei Misawa’s robes.

’Right now, the safest approach would be for us Investigators to use the Five Emperors Poison Coin and work with Jiang Chaosheng.’

’But Jiang Chaosheng has already taken the Five Emperors Poison Coin.’

An Investigator took a step forward and said politely,

"Sir, this Yin Yang Master is very strong.

Could you return the Five Emperors Poison Coin? We can face him together."

Jiang Chaosheng glanced at the Investigator.

"I’m here now. You can clock out."

The Investigator was taken aback.

’How can this guy be so arrogant?’

’So what if he’s the one who handled the Ghost Government Office incident?’

’With the Five Emperors Poison Coin, we could have easily resolved that incident too.’

They didn’t think Jiang Chaosheng could handle Seimei Misawa so easily.

It wasn’t that they thought Jiang Chaosheng was weak; it was that Seimei Misawa was just too strong.

How could the Investigators possibly feel comfortable leaving the scene to Jiang Chaosheng?

What if Seimei Misawa obtained the Taboo Items in Jiang Chaosheng’s hands? Then no one in the Xia Kingdom could stop him.

Besides, the Five Emperors Poison Coin was still in Jiang Chaosheng’s hands. ’We have to get it back!’

The Investigator hesitated for a moment.

"Sir, please return the Five Emperors Poison Coin. We can..."

An icy glint flashed in Jiang Chaosheng’s eyes.

"I said, you can clock out."

Seimei Misawa grew even more furious.

"You ant, with not a shred of Spiritual Power on you, dare to look down on me like this!"

Jiang Chaosheng glanced at him, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain.

Seimei Misawa became even more enraged.

’East Sakura Yin Yang Masters have a thousand-year history! I myself carry the culmination of a millennium of insights into Yin Yang Art!’

’How dare this insignificant Yin Yang Master from the Xia Kingdom ignore me!’

’What, do you think you have a thousand years of insight, too?!’

"You will learn that the gap between you and me is as vast as that between a mayfly and the heavens!"

Seimei Misawa roared in anger and charged at Jiang Chaosheng.

His fox claws tore through the curtain of rain, as if ripping through space itself.

Jiang Chaosheng chuckled.

"Did I hear you mention heritage earlier?

You’re in luck. Before you die, you’ll get to open your eyes and see what true heritage looks like."

He unhurriedly pulled a small, palm-sized, tri-colored door from his pocket.

The next second, three giant gates, each a hundred meters tall, appeared out of thin air!

Red, yellow, and green.

In the center of each massive, differently colored gate was a grotesque, demonic face.

The faces were alive!

Some sneered malevolently, some were in agony, some were expressionless, and some had their tongues lolling out.

Code 3-07, the Triple Roshomon!

It is said that the Underworld has four gates, leading respectively to Underworld, the Land of the Yellow Springs, the Nine Netherworld, and Eternal Hell.

This Triple Roshomon is precisely those three great gates: the ones leading to Underworld, the Land of the Yellow Springs, and the Nine Netherworld.

These four locations within the Underworld have likely ceased to exist. All that remains are these three gates, which have become Taboo Items.

Seimei Misawa slammed violently into the Triple Roshomon.

The impact sent a numbing shock through his arms.
