My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 99 Xia Pingzhou: What? I beat up a group member? (Second update, asking for monthly tickets)

In the cafe, Oda Takikage lowered his reading glasses on his nose and glanced at Xia Pingzhou who was standing across the counter.

Then he slowly lowered his head to read the newspaper and said in a gentle and low voice:

"Tonight, the remaining three members will arrive in Tokyo. If you're looking for someone to spar with, you can find Number 5. Her name is Lan Duoduo... She's a bit soft-hearted."

"No." Ji Minghuan shook his head and interrupted, "I only want to fight with you, forget about the other members."

In the official information provided by Yingwu, the brigade's No. 4 member "Oda Takikage" was judged to be a peak-level dragon-level psychic.

There may still be some errors in the Japanese official's estimate of the strength of other members, but Ayase Origami and Oda Takiage are people who escaped from the Yakuza family, and the Japanese side must know them much better than other members.

Even if there are deviations, they will not be far from the real strength.

So, Ji Minghuan wanted to try to fight with Oda Takikage, who was at the peak of the Dragon level...

See with your own eyes how big the gap is between you and him.

There is another reason: Oda Takikage looks tall and bulky, with a wolf-back and tiger-chested body, but he is the most difficult enemy for Unit 2 to deal with: a speed-type ability user.

"I'm sorry, but I still don't have the desire to fight you. I've been fighting enough all the time, so it's rare for me to have some free time..."

Oda Takikage lowered his eyes to read the newspaper, his voice simple and calm, "Number 12, why don't you just calm down and sit down and have some coffee. You don't need to worry about the auction operation; we'll take care of killing them all."

He said that he was tired of killing, but when Oda Ryuue said the words "kill them all", he was calm without a ripple - for this ninja butler, killing people was like punching in at work, he was too lazy to do it, but he was used to it.

"Kitten, panting."

Ayase Origami said this lightly, took her eyes off Xia Pingzhou's face, and continued to look at her haiku book "Four Leaves Collection".

Seeing that Oda Takikage was indifferent, Ji Minghuan turned his head and looked at Ayase Origami expressionlessly. He said seriously:
"It's not just panting, the kitten is going to run away from home."

After a pause, he added, "I'd better go follow the old lady who pursues love for a long time."

Ayase Origami raised her eyes from the haiku book and stared at Ji Minghuan motionlessly for a while.

Her eyes were indifferent and empty, like the eerie feeling of a Japanese doll placed on a shelf at night, but Ji Minghuan was unmoved and stared at her quietly.

After a moment, Ayase Origami lowered her eyes to look at the haiku book, and without looking up, she said to Oda Takikage:
"Takiying, be a cat toy for a moment."

Although it was a sentence with ambiguous meaning, Oda Takikage immediately understood what Miss Ayase meant. Without hesitating for even half a second, he slowly put the newspaper on the table.

"Okay, miss." He responded in a flat tone.

"It's not appropriate to do it here. We can find a remote, uninhabited building nearby."

Ji Minghuan said this without even turning back, and walked out of the quiet cafe first. The bright sunshine hit him, wrapped in the summer heat, making him feel dazed for a moment.

ten minutes later.

Ji Minghuan and Ayase Origami came to the vicinity of Tokyo Bay and climbed to the top floor of a building whose construction had been halted due to uncontrollable reasons.

It was here last night that the legendary Bandage Man fought the terrifying Clock Tower Man for three hundred rounds. The already dilapidated abandoned building was now even more devastated, its walls now covered in terrifying dents.

It must be a evenly matched battle.

There is also a huge human-shaped hole in it, as if someone was hammered into the wall like a nail. Just looking at the remains of the building is enough to make people sigh and horrify. You don’t have to think about it... how fierce the battle was at that time.

Ayase Origami glanced at these traces but didn't pay much attention to them.

"Where are the others?" Ji Minghuan asked.

Ayase Origami was too lazy to answer and just glanced at the ground not far away.

Immediately afterwards, a puddle-like shadow floated from there, and then a giant shadow slowly emerged from the shadow.

At this time, Oda Takikage had changed into that black masked ninja costume, carrying a sword handle on his back, and his eyes were sharp and cold. Compared with the honest old uncle Coffee, he seemed to be a different person.

"Miss, it seems someone has fought here." Oda Takikage turned his head and looked around and spoke.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't affect anything."

As she spoke, Ayase Origami raised her hand, and pages of sketchbook paper appeared from the cuffs of her ochre-red kimono. In a blink of an eye, she sealed all the windows to ensure that it would not cause too much noise, but the surroundings also became dark in an instant.

In the pitch-dark environment, Ji Minghuan and Oda Takikage looked at each other from dozens of meters apart.

In this abandoned building, a major ethical incident of "father beating his son" just happened last night. If this place accidentally turns into a "large-scale cat abuse scene" today, it would be simply horrible.

The fact that two machines were injured here at the same time fully demonstrates that this is an ominous place and it is not suitable to set foot here again in the future.

Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan suddenly turned his head to look at the remaining cracks on the wall. After a moment, he turned back and met Oda Takikage's gaze.

As if turning Oda Taki's gaze into a ghostly bell, his grief and anger turned into fighting spirit. His expression turned cold. He took a step forward.

With the clear sound of footsteps, Tianqu was released from Xia Pingzhou's body.

A black and white halo swirled around him, forming a Möbius strip. The chess pieces on the strip revolved around him like satellites, emitting a faint halo that illuminated the surroundings like fireflies.

At the same time, a perspective like a chess player looking at the chessboard appeared in Ji Minghuan's mind.

The bird's-eye view allowed him to see clearly everything within a radius of thirty-five meters centered on himself - as the spiritual attributes of Unit 2 improved, the scope of the "chessboard" seemed to have expanded slightly.

Oda Ryuue remained unmoved, standing quietly like a statue, as if wanting the newcomer to take the lead.

Ji Minghuan stretched out his right arm and touched the chess shadow on the black and white circle.

Then, all the chess pieces were summoned out, standing around him like a legion, and he was the general commanding the troops on the battlefield.

Two cannon chariot chess pieces, three black iron soldiers, a queen colossus, and a king colossus - this is all the combat power Xia Pingzhou currently possesses.

The three Black Iron soldiers held huge shields and gripped their swords tightly, forming a mountain of people standing in front.
Two black iron gun carriages were loading ammunition with a "click-click" sound, and sparks flew out of the muzzles;
The giant statue of the king held high the scepter symbolizing power in the darkness. A halo of black and white light flowed out from the scepter, forming a barrier that enveloped Xia Pingzhuo.
The stone statue of the queen holds a short dagger in her left hand and a long dagger in her right hand. She stares quietly at Oda Ryuei in the darkness, with faint blue flames burning in her slender eye sockets.

At this moment, Ayase Origami, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke.

"Chess piece," Ayase Origami asked succinctly, "Why is it different from last time?"

She could tell that compared to the last time she saw Ji Minghuan use his abilities, the scene before her had many differences. These weren't subtle, hard-to-detect changes, but were something that could be seen at a glance:
First of all, the number of soldier pieces has increased from one to three, and the number of artillery pieces has also increased by one;
The second is the appearance. Each Black Iron soldier is equipped with a huge shield in his left hand.

Before the fight officially started, Ji Minghuan slowly explained to the young lady:
"My Sky Drive can be upgraded by killing people. When I met the Bloodline at the amusement park that day, she gave me the nine Kui-level psychics she had captured. So after killing these psychics, my Sky Drive evolved."

After a moment of silence, Ayase Origami suddenly said, "Next time, don't look for the old vampire woman, look for me."

She had a blank expression on her face and emphasized each word:
"My cat, I raise it."

Hearing this, Ji Minghuan stared at Oda Takikage and called out coldly without turning his head:
"Meow."

I don’t know if it’s because I read too much “I Am a Cat” written by Natsume Setishi, or because I was beaten stupidly by my old father here last night, but Ji Minghuan found that this time he really wanted to meow from the bottom of his heart.

He thought: Is it really happy to cling to someone powerful? Who would bother with Ghost Bell and Blue Arc, the two great masters of natural disasters? Whoever likes can play house with them?

He would be pressed against the wall and beaten by this stupid old man at any time, so that he could experience the iron fist from his father, as if to make up for the fatherly love he had been missing for the past eight years.

What a pity!
It's really not as good as being the pet cat of a gangster lady who kills people without blinking an eye.

Of course... in another month, this little kitten will become a big tiger.

"Be good, little cat." said Ayase Origami.

At this moment, Oda Takikage in the distance did not speak.

It was also the first time he saw Xia Pingzhou's Tianqu. When he saw the series of giant statues surrounding him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his face unconsciously became solemn.

After a while, Oda Takikage said with a sigh, "I see... Such a special Sky Drive mechanism, and it's also a rare evolved Sky Drive, just like Miss Ripper. No wonder... the captain let you join the brigade."

Before this, he seemed to have always looked down on this kid, thinking that the aura he exuded was completely different from that of the other people in the brigade, like a kitten mixed in with a group of lions.

But now he found out that he was wrong...

Maybe this guy is a complete monster.

Oda Takikage said deeply, "If you were not a member of the brigade, based on my personal experience, I might consider strangling you in the cradle to prevent you from growing up and posing a threat to the young lady."

"That's a shame." Ji Minghuan said expressionlessly, "Team members are forbidden from killing each other, but of course, a sparring match like this shouldn't be a problem."

He knew that Ayase Origami was there to act as a referee, and if necessary, the kimono lady would use her special abilities to prevent the two from sparring and endangering their lives.

It's impossible for a referee of quasi-catastrophe level to accidentally watch his kitten being beheaded by a ninja, right?

Therefore, Ji Minghuan can fight Oda Takikage with confidence without worrying about violating the group rules.

"Indeed... I'm glad that such a young man with such potential is one of ours."

After a pause, Oda Takikage slowly drew his long sword from behind his back and met Xia Pingzhou's gaze: "Number 12, you want to know how strong your Sky Drive is after its evolution, so you are so eager to spar with me, right?"

"Correct."

"Then I... am honored to be your opponent."

The moment the words fell, Oda Takikage's figure hid in the shadows under his feet and disappeared in an instant.
