"What are you saying at a time like this, Professor Ejima?"
Jiangdao Yizai held a cigarette, which was already wet from the rain, between his teeth. Although his face was expressionless, he seemed to be deep and melancholy.
"I'm saying, my two children and I are already dead, but when exactly will we die?"
Dou Tang pondered for a moment and said, "You... feel you're tired of this world?"
Ejima Izai shook his head: "No, no, no, I haven't enjoyed it enough yet, but, there will always be that day, won't there?"
“Ordinary people die one day, and this evil body may live forever, but I don’t want that kind of life.” He clenched his fist, the bones grinding together with a cracking sound. “I have no desire for immortality. I just want to peacefully enjoy my death after life finally comes to an end. Those two children have the same idea.”
“The most important thing is to see you, my child, truly grow up, isn’t it?” He suddenly turned his head, the blue flames in his eyes flickering in the rain.
"Me? Growth?" Dou Tang raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled.
Including his previous life, he was already over thirty years old. The word "growth" seemed to have nothing to do with him anymore.
Ejima Izai nodded and said, "Although you seem very mature, you actually always give your teacher..."
A feeling of indecision, like having many things on one's mind.
"Indecisiveness is a behavior unique to children." He took the cigarette out of his mouth and tossed it aside. The cigarette, wet with rain, fell quickly toward the street.
"I can see that you've been caught up in this life-or-death game of Crown, and at the same time, you've been caught up in a series of emotional entanglements, child."
After hearing Jiangdao Yizai's words, Dou Tang lowered his head slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
Rain soaked his hair, making it stick to his cheeks. He had been fighting for the past month and hadn't even had time to groom his hair, which had now grown longer than his eyebrows.
"I can only leave in peace when I see you truly victorious. Whether it's the Crown game or life, you must win."
Chapter 132 A Leap Forward
After hearing what Jiangdao Yizai said, Dou Tang slowly nodded: "I understand, Jiangdao-sensei, I will think about it carefully."
Jiangdao Yizai chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "How was it? Did you feel like you were being questioned by a teacher just now?"
"Hehe, looks like I still have the authority of a teacher!"
Dou Tang smiled as he looked at the skeleton in front of him, which was starting to act inappropriately again.
Just then, the two people who were chatting and laughing suddenly noticed something strange.
Across the heavy rain, at the top of that quiet hospital, a non-existent floor slowly emerges.
All the windows on that floor were black, with wallpaper covering the glass. The entire floor stood silently in the rainy night, looking dark and eerie, sending chills down one's spine.
"They're here." Dou Tang's sharp eyes were like lightning; he had already seen through what was on the other side of the rain curtain.
“Yes.” Ejima Iya also understood that it was time for the two of them to take the stage.
Then, the two of them started to back away simultaneously, turning their heads and walking backward.
As Dou Tang walked, he said, "After we go in, please ask Teacher Jiangdao to protect them. The Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming has the Crown, so I'm afraid they are no match for him."
"It took so long to open the barrier, the situation might not be optimistic."
The two walked to the other end of the building and then turned around.
Dou Tang secured the longsword tightly to his back with the straps, tightened them, and looked at the edge of the other side behind the rain curtain.
Ejima Iya, on the other hand, had his hands in his pockets and looked quite nonchalant.
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
The two moved at the same time! Dou Tang exerted his strength suddenly, rainwater flowing over his body, and he sprinted forward like an arrow!
The same was true for Ejima Izai; his skeletal body broke through the torrential rain, leaving two long trails of blue flames in the air.
Dou Tang ran faster and faster, his eyes flashing with blue light, his blood surging and surging like a raging steed, each step kicking up a splash of water.
In the blink of an eye, the two had already approached the edge, and the hospital on the other side, which was shorter than the buildings on their side, seemed to be right in front of them!
Dou Tang stepped onto the high edge of the platform, then leaped again, soaring into the air!
He bent over, breaking through the rain that blurred everything, smashing countless raindrops, and drenched in the downpour and wind, hurtling towards the hospital!
Jiangdao Yizai followed closely behind, but he looked more relaxed. Unlike Doutang's posture, which resembled that of a long jumper, he did not bend over, but only slightly bent over, looking somewhat comfortable. His white coat swayed behind him like a cape.
As they drew closer to the hospital, Dou Tang curled up and smashed one of the windows!
"boom!"
The glass shattered instantly, the wallpaper was smashed through a large hole, and Dou Tang crashed through the window not far from the Onmyoji Ling Ming! He slammed into the pile of flesh and blood monsters!
The next moment, the longsword was drawn, and a sharp sword light swept up like a storm, stirring up the cold wind that rushed into the corridor as the window shattered, creating a white dance of light and shadow.
"Swipe brush-"
The fleshy monster surrounding Dou Tang's fist was instantly shattered, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere, and Dou Tang stood amidst it all.
"boom!"
Not far behind him, the window of the place where Lu Zizhen and the others were fighting was also smashed by Jiangdao Yizai.
Ejima Iya, who could control the wind and rain, landed lightly, his hands still in his pockets, and looked up at the monsters in front of him, standing proudly.
"Ah... the last Kamen Rider has arrived. Mr. Ren, I have heard of your swordsmanship." The voice of the Onmyoji Ling Ming was somewhat eerie.
But then he became very surprised: "Wait... this face... ha, so we've already met once!"
Dou Tang nodded slightly, his ghostly eyes flashing with lightning as he silently stared at the Onmyoji Ling Ming.
Onmyoji Ling Ming was delighted: "You must have obtained the crown that belongs to Taira no Masakado! Come, try it out! I want to see how the true holder of the crown fights!"
Dou Tang looked at the ugly monster made of flesh and bones around him, shook his head, and sneered, "You? You don't seem qualified."
"In my opinion, your clumsy methods are not even half as good as Taira no Masakado's."
"A descendant of a prestigious Onmyoji family, so easily degenerate? What a disgrace to your family name, utterly disappointing."
The smile in Onmyoji Ling Ming's eyes vanished instantly. His previously squinted eyes widened, but the eyeballs were no longer visible. Only countless tentacles of different colors were mixed together, barely forming the shape of an eyeball. Although the whites of the eyes and the pupils could be seen, they were just monotonous colors on the tentacles.
"You're really arrogant..." He waved his cypress fan lightly, and a gentle breeze arose from it.
That breeze was originally just wind, but it seemed to have a physical form, stirring up the air and stabbing towards Dou Tang with lightning speed!
Dou Tang raised his sword to meet the attack, and the strong wind touched the blade, producing a crisp clanging sound.
The powerful wind that was cut by the sword blade traveled a long way before disappearing.
Dou Tang then smiled and said, "That's more like it."
After saying that, he immediately moved, rushing towards the direction of the Onmyoji Ling Ming like a swift rabbit!
Onmyoji Ling Ming quickly waved his fan, but was surrounded by the enhanced flesh and blood monsters and became entangled in a battle with Dou Tang!
Dou Tang used both hands, his left fist and right sword, to fight fiercely against the flesh and blood monster.
All around were fleshy monsters, which surged forward all at once, like tentacles lashing out from walls of flesh towards Dou Tang.
Faced with the dazzling attacks, Dou Tang smiled instead. He gradually lowered his center of gravity, his whole body arching deeply like a lean tiger. His sword moves transformed into horizontal slashes and upward thrusts, constantly knocking away the fleshy monster's body, while steadfastly moving forward.
Even when the path in front of him was completely blocked by monsters, it could not stop his progress at all. His sword could always cut into the gaps between muscles and bones at the most critical moment, shattering the monsters that were building up into two halves, and then he would walk through the gaps without any panic.
Even towards the end, his speed was so great that the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming no longer had time to set up a defensive line and could only watch helplessly as Dou Tang charged forward.
He retorted angrily, "You...you're really crazy! Is this swordsmanship and physical prowess a gift from the crown?"
"It's unreasonable!"
He suddenly waved the cypress fan, and this time it wasn't just a strong wind; a chilling wind swept through the air, accompanied by the howls of countless wild beasts. Although they had no physical form, they were undeniably real.
Those currents rushed towards Dou Tang, and if Dou Tang was hit by this current, his progress would definitely be affected.
But Ejima Iya, who was far behind, was very disdainful and raised a skeletal arm.
"call----"
A cold, strong wind swept out from the window next to Ejima Izayoi, turning into a whirlwind that he could control. It instantly swept into the entire corridor, passed over the flesh-and-blood monster, and with a whoosh, collided with the cold wind, scattering the opponent into chaotic and disordered streams of wind.
Chapter 133 Showing off the crown
The gale unleashed by Jiangdao Yizai instantly tore the gusts of yin wind to shreds. The white skeleton stood with his hands on his hips, laughing loudly. Although his expression was unreadable, his arrogance was palpable.
"What? So-called renowned Onmyoji? Looks like they're nothing special!"
Ejima Izai continued calling out. The corridor was filled with a biting cold wind, and the damp rain also rushed in, diluting the heavy and foul smell of blood.
Dou Tang strode forward, his longsword transforming into a curtain of light, cutting through everything in his path.
Onmyoji Ling Ming scoffed, then quickly retreated, raising his hand and waving it away, causing the crown on his head to disappear.
Dou Tang continued forward, chasing after the monster, which posed no obstacle to him, leaving Lu Zizhen and the others far behind.
Dou Tang's swordsmanship was no longer graceful and agile. When he encountered these fleshy monsters whose movements were completely unpredictable, he simply used the most direct method to attack, which was to strike with his sword as he moved.
With each step, he would stomp heavily on the ground while using the force of one foot to strike with his sword. At the moment of landing, his waist and legs would move as one, and the sword strike would always follow the direction of his body's center of gravity, just like a predator hunting and relying on the instinct of his body to attack.
However, this instinct was driven by the sword.
Dou Tang advanced with unstoppable momentum, hacking and slashing at the fleshy monsters before him, and chasing after the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming.
Onmyoji Ling Ming fled quickly. He seemed to have other considerations and completely abandoned control of the flesh and blood monsters. The monsters began to feel dizzy and disoriented, intertwining and sticking together in a chaotic manner, seemingly forming a huge mass of flesh and bone that almost blocked the entire corridor. They slowly crawled towards Lu Zizhen and the others.
Dou Tang followed the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming, rushed around the corner, and then paused in surprise.
He was clearly less than five meters behind that guy, but after turning the corner, there was no one there. The corridor in front of him was extremely dark, with only the operating light on the door not far ahead lit up.
Dou Tang sensed something was wrong and felt like he had fallen into a trap, but when he took two steps back, he could still see his companions fighting against the wall of flesh, so they were obviously not trapped by the barrier.
So, is it that surgery scandal?
Dou Tang turned around and shouted to his companions, "You guys hold out here for a bit! I'll go alone!"
"Going alone?! Are you crazy?" Kotaro shouted.
Aside from Kotaro and Old Wolf, the others all knew that Dou Tang was a Bean Man. If he went alone, he could transform into a Bean Man without any worries. Dou Tang as a Bean Man might be able to crush the Onmyoji Ling Ming, which was the best solution.
Then Aida Gaku pulled Kotaro back, punched the limb in front of Kotaro away, and roared, "No problem! Go ahead! We'll take care of things here!"
Dou Tang nodded and rushed toward the operating room door.
The operating room door in front of him was extremely heavy, but it was no problem for Dou Tang. He pushed it open with a thud.
What comes rushing in is
The stench was a hundred times stronger than that in the corridor.
Muscles, fat, blood... and bones—what Dou Tang saw before him was a hell built of lives.
In the square space, there was no trace of a hospital; it was completely dark. Dou Tang's eyes emitted a blue light, allowing him to see all the evil in this abyss.
Life ends here, not only the body but also the soul cannot find release, sinking into the life desires of the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming, becoming evil spirits and vengeful spirits driven by him.
The air was filled with a disturbing, incessant whisper, and the cries of the unjustly killed echoed in my ears, yet seemed faint.
Dou Tang's eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent. He gritted his teeth, and anger surged within him.
He slowly walked into the space, the door covered in blood and flesh closing behind him, plunging the entire space into complete darkness, with only Dou Tang's eyes shining brightly.
"You just walked right in like that. Should I praise your bravery, or say you have no brains?"
In the dark space, eerie voices echoed, seemingly omnipresent.
"But it doesn't matter. Whether you have a brain or not... we'll find out once I pry open your skull."
Dou Tang was silent for a moment after hearing this, then said, "You really are arrogant."
"But... fine, let you experience it for yourself."
His free left hand slowly rose and slid gently across the void above his head.
A golden light suddenly appeared in the void.
The Blue Demon Crown has been activated.
A crown depicting a blue-eyed demon floated silently in the air. The demon on it was lifelike, and its fiery blue pupils exuded a chilling and eerie aura.
Dou Tang's eyes also lit up, and the blue light seemed to transform into tangible flames, bursting out from his eye sockets and spreading around his eyes, completely enveloping them.
Then, another burst of golden light appeared, and the Blue-Eyed Demon reluctantly gave up some space on the original crown, revealing a new relief.
【Ito Crown】launch.
What emerged from above was an enormous wild boar, its sharp tusks and robust body so striking, not to mention that it had its head deeply buried in the ground, with countless rocks and trees piled up behind it, and it had plowed a furrow into the entire mountain.
