He struggled to his feet, nearly falling to the next level. He glared angrily at the sky, then gritted his teeth and began hopping on the third level, slowing down his pace.
At this point, people began to fall from the first level. Many of them had lost their footing and could no longer stay on the platform.
Even the nearest section was far beyond the reach of a flying pounce, leaving only regretful landing.
However, they didn't gain much benefit on the second floor either. The Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming had already established his territory there. Those who didn't end up in his territory were fine, but if they did, they would be pushed down immediately.
His territory was located in roughly the same spot as Taira no Masakado's on the first floor.
The Pingjiang Gate above our heads is almost completely destroyed, with only a few sections remaining.
But at this moment, Onmyoji Ling Ming did something that surprised Dou Tang.
He suddenly sped up and quickly created a hole below Taira no Masakado.
Taira no Masakado, who was on the first floor, finally lost his footing and fell downwards.
But then his eyes widened.
The second level beneath my feet... is empty!
"Damn it... Ling Ming, you bastard?!" Ping Jiangmen bared his teeth and claws in the air, but he couldn't change his fate. He kept falling downwards and landed with a thud on a small open space on the third floor.
He angrily raised his head, but there was no time for him to stand still and curse. He quickly lowered his head and jumped up again.
Without any competitors, the Onmyoji Ling Ming began to leisurely hop around on the second level. Although the second level had reduced the number of sections because he had chased and pushed people off, there was still enough space between sections to jump over them. Therefore, he seemed to have gained an absolute advantage.
Onmyoji Ling Ming strolled leisurely on the second floor, while on the third floor, the evil spirits had already begun to appear.
Unlike his actions after he understood the rules, many evil spirits still haven't figured out how to stay on the board longer.
The key point is that some people have already realized they can't win and have started to tank.
A malevolent spirit, covered in scales and with bloodshot eyes, ran madly, shouting, "Hahahaha! None of you will live! None of you will live! Ahahahahaha!"
He crashed into others recklessly, and soon people fell to the fourth level because of him, and he himself also fell to the fourth level.
"Pangolin! Are you insane?!" roared a demon who recognized him.
But the pangolin ignored the warnings and began running wildly and erratically on the fourth level, fully demonstrating the Boss's malicious intent to harm others without benefiting himself.
"Since we're all going to die anyway, let's all die together! Hahahaha!"
Because of this troublemaker, people started falling rapidly, the fourth floor became riddled with holes, and some unlucky ones even started falling to the fifth floor.
Taira no Masakado, on the third floor, snorted coldly at the Onmyoji Ling Ming above him and reluctantly descended to the fourth floor.
It wasn't until the fourth floor was almost completely destroyed that Onmyoji Ling Ming fell down, passing through the third and fourth floors in one breath, and finally reaching the fifth floor.
But before he could catch his breath, he heard a roar from above!
"Ling Ming!! Die!"
He looked up sharply and saw Taira no Masakado descending from the sky!
With a thud, Taira no Masakado slammed down on Onmyoji Ling Ming, and the two of them tumbled to the ground like gourds, falling together towards the sixth floor!
"Are you crazy?!" Onmyoji Ling Ming cursed.
"You dare to ambush me! I'll kill you!" Taira no Masakado was blinded by rage and didn't care whether he could win or not. He straddled the Onmyoji Ryomei and punched him hard in the face!
"Pfft...you madman..." Onmyoji Ling Ming struggled, but because the two of them had been adjusted to the same constitution, the struggle was not very effective.
The two continued their descent, heading towards the seventh floor.
In mid-air, Onmyoji Ling Ming finally seized the opportunity and kicked Hiramasaka in the heart, sending him flying.
The two of them landed on the seventh floor together, separated by some partitions.
Chapter 148 The winner is decided!
The Onmyoji Ling Ming quickly got up, panting, and fled as fast as he could, fearing that Taira no Masakado would catch up with him.
Taira no Masakado followed closely behind, bypassing the area that the Onmyoji Ryoumei had stepped on, and rushed forward.
The two of them started chasing each other on the seventh floor.
The two were chasing each other and expending a lot of energy, but the Onmyoji Ling Ming racked his brains again and came up with a solution.
He had Taira no Masakado run to his right, then turned right.
Until you reach the edge of the large plate, at the last square of the edge, suddenly turn left.
Taira no Masakado wanted to turn left, but found himself facing a cliff two tiers wide!
He tricked me!
Enraged but helpless, Taira no Masakado could only hop and jump on his own half, trying to buy as much time as possible.
The Onmyoji Ling Ming breathed a sigh of relief and also hopped around to buy time.
Soon, people began to fall from the sixth floor, and the seventh floor became a situation of warlordism.
Meanwhile, the evil spirits became increasingly nervous, and no one spoke, each staring intently at the tectonic plates beneath their feet.
There are two more floors, the last two floors.
Whoever lands last on either of these two levels is the winner.
The evil spirits continued to hop and jump, as lively as mantis shrimps living in a steamer.
Seeing an opportune moment, Onmyoji Ling Ming jumped to the eighth floor again.
He planned to repeat his old trick, mirroring his actions on the third level, so he could completely wear down his opponent.
But Taira no Masakado was watching his movements closely, and as the Onmyoji Ling Ming fell below, Taira no Masakado also jumped down.
"how,
"Trying to use the same trick again? Don't think I'll fall for it again!" Taira no Masakado sneered.
Onmyoji Ling Ming responded with a cold laugh, then began to distance himself from Taira no Masakado, skillfully carving out his own territory.
Taira no Masakado understood that he would be at a disadvantage if he chased after them, so he simply started to claim territory as well.
The two occupied their respective spots on the eighth floor, undisturbed by each other, and began to test their luck.
If the evil spirits from the seventh level descend and damage their territory, they will be at a disadvantage in the battle.
Soon, someone was found on the seventh floor.
The evil spirits, already in a frenzy, landed with a thud and then began to bounce around on the platform. Soon, Taira no Masakado realized that at this moment, there were more people on the Onmyoji Ling Ming's side!
Among them was that pangolin that kept running around like crazy!
He thought to himself, "Well done!"
Onmyoji Ling Ming also noticed this, gritted his teeth and rushed towards the pangolin, shoved it aside and pushed it into an empty space.
However, the time it took to push people away had already caused the large region where the Onmyoji Ling Ming was located to be fragmented and no longer intact.
Taira no Masakado laughed heartily: "So you've finally met your match! How does it feel to have your plans ruined?"
Onmyoji Ling Ming's face turned ashen. After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly lunged towards the ninth floor!
This dive landed him near the ninth floor, which belonged to Taira no Masakado.
He made up his mind. Not only would he use the same trick again, but he would also watch helplessly as Taira no Masakado fell into that strange and terrifying sea of pink milkshakes from the last floor!
Seeing him resolutely jump down, Taira no Masakado was frantic with worry and burst into a tirade: "Ling Ming, you bastard! Have you gone mad too! Damn it!"
Onmyoji Ling Ming looked up, trying to predict Taira no Masakado's location while marking out a large open space for himself.
Soon, more people landed on the ninth floor, and the pangolin that had been shouting the loudest had been eliminated at some point and could no longer be seen.
And Taira no Masakado, finally, as the last person on the eighth floor, fell down.
He looked down and, sure enough, he found himself in a sea of milkshakes, with sweet waves lapping at his feet.
it's over...
He continued to fall, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the edge of a small slab.
And standing on this small platform is none other than the Onmyoji Ling Ming.
Onmyoji Ling Ming revealed a mocking smile, then jumped to other sections.
"I will not let you go, never! I will never let you go!!"
In a furious roar, the tyrant Taira no Masakado fell into a pink milkshake ocean and disappeared completely, without even a ripple.
Ling Ming, the Onmyoji, successfully became the last person standing on the platform thanks to his strategy.
As the last evil spirit fell into the ocean, the Onmyoji Ling Ming suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The tectonic plates beneath his feet stopped disappearing.
"Phew..." He let out a long breath and slumped onto the board.
Dou Tang slowly floated in front of him. The candy-bean man's face was expressionless, and he just looked at him quietly.
Onmyoji Ling Ming said, "I won, right?"
Dou Tang nodded.
Onmyoji Ling Ming continued, "So I get a chance to make a wish? What kind of goal can you achieve?"
"I cannot bring the dead back to life, but I can bring you back to reality and let you spend a day as a soul."
"You can also live in Fall Guys with your memories intact until you get tired of it and choose to reincarnate."
Without the slightest hesitation, Onmyoji Ling Ming said, "I want to return to reality!"
Dou Tang nodded.
He was not afraid that the Onmyoji Ling Ming would escape.
Because returning to reality is not as simple as it sounds.
These dead people, once back in reality, are no different from ordinary ghosts, and they are already bound to Dou Tang. With just a thought from Dou Tang, those wandering souls will instantly return to the Fall Guys world.
Dou Tang may show final mercy, but that doesn't mean he'll let others return to reality.
Onmyoji Ling Ming also roughly understood this point.
It didn't matter to him, because from the beginning he only wanted to release information about Fall Guys after winning.
He stood up from the platform, stretched a bit, and said, "I'm ready. Can you take me back?"
Dou Tang nodded and waved his hand.
Onmyoji Ling Ming suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, if he still had a brain. The next instant, he suddenly found himself on a street in Urayasu City.
The streets were eerily quiet, and Dou Tang was nowhere to be seen.
Similarly, even if someone were to pass by, they wouldn't be able to see the Onmyoji Ling Ming clearly. Right now, he's nothing more than a ghost that can move freely.
Without thinking too much, he determined the direction and headed towards the street in the distance.
"Is this what a pure soul is..." he murmured, as he drifted away into the distance.
Until it drifted into a small alley.
There was a doghouse in the alley. He came to the doghouse and stood in front of it.
Soon, a black Shiba Inu emerged from the doghouse, its eyes bright and alert. Upon seeing the Onmyoji Ling Ming before it, it showed surprise and then spoke in human language.
"So you really are dead... You're just a soul now? What brings you to me at a time like this?"
Onmyoji Ling Ming shook his head, seemingly having accepted the fact of his death, and said, "I already know, Fall Guys..."
His true identity has been revealed.
The Shiba Inu tilted its head. "You went to investigate Fall Guys? And you even used your soul to betray them before you died... Does this truth surprise you?"
Chapter 149 Stealing Business from the Underworld
Onmyoji Ling Ming nodded and said, "I am indeed very surprised."
"The true identity of Fall Guys... is that famous Mr. Ren from Tokyo!"
After saying that, he looked at the Shiba Inu monster with a hint of smugness.
He thought the monster who relayed messages to the other crown holders must be extremely shocked!
But the black Shiba Inu looked at him with an "that's it" expression.
“Oh…we already knew that.” A look of pity appeared on the black Shiba Inu’s face. “Your arrogance has brought you great trouble…Actually, ever since the Taira no Masakado incident, everyone has agreed on one thing.”
