Legend Management Bureau Chapter 386

[ … words ]

Du Yu furrowed his brows slightly. He knew Shiranui Asuka was indeed very endearing, but she had chosen the absolute worst time to confess her feelings. Right now, he was entirely overwhelmed, his mind completely consumed with finding a way to defeat the enemy. How could he possibly consider A’xiang’s situation?

“A’xiang’s Second Brother, let me put it this way. If we can actually kill this Buddha, forget about just ‘dating’—I’d even consider going straight back to meet A’xiang’s parents,” Du Yu said.

“Excellent!”

Shiranui Kashin let out a joyous shout, then spun around and raised his arms high. “Did you all hear that, brothers? This battle is ‘Little Xiang’s Love Defense War’! As long as that Buddha dies, Little Xiang gets a boyfriend!”

“Yes, sir!”

The yokai and the Time Masters pumped their fists and roared in unison.

“Everyone, give me a hundred and twenty percent! If we don’t destroy this Buddha today, we fight to the death!”

“Yes, sir!”

Medusa furrowed her brows slightly and muttered to herself, “Miss Shiranui and Du Yu… That doesn’t sound too bad.”

Medusa offered a relieved smile. “Du Yu, I once swore that no matter who you ended up with, I would kill her and claim you for myself. But if the other person is my ‘other benefactor,’ Miss Shiranui, I have no objections. I can let her live.”

Du Yu clutched his forehead. “Gorgon… Could you please not say such terrifying things?”

At that moment, Shiranui Jinjiro rushed over from parts unknown, landing right in front of them.

Looking as though he had just seen his savior, Du Yu hurriedly ran up to him. “A’xiang’s brother, what took you so long? Save me, quick!”

Jinjiro paused in surprise. He looked back at the large group of Time Masters and asked, “What happened?”

“Brother Jinjiro!” Kashin said with a laugh. “This guy, Du Yu, is about to start dating Little Xiang!”

“Dating?” Jinjiro pondered for a brief moment before saying, “Right now? This is pure nonsense!”

“Exactly! Exactly!” Du Yu shouted anxiously. “It’s complete nonsense!”

Jinjiro looked at Du Yu, then added, “For the next month, there are absolutely no auspicious days for ‘marriage and relationships’ in the almanac. Du Yu, if you are really in a rush, you two can keep in touch for now and officially start dating next month. Does that work?”

“In a rush my ass!” Du Yu roared. “A’xiang’s brother, have you lost your mind too?! Is this a problem of ‘not checking the almanac’?! Deal with the Buddha first!”

“Oh, right.” Jinjiro nodded. “We can discuss the dating arrangements later. Let’s take down this Buddha together first.”

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned serious as they shifted their gazes back to the Buddha.

“A’xiang’s brother, you actually have a habit of checking the almanac?” Du Yu asked offhandedly.

“Of course,” Jinjiro replied. “Time Master is a very traditional profession. The almanac is extremely important to us.”

“Then did you check today’s almanac?” Du Yu pressed.

“I did.”

“Did it say ‘Auspicious for killing Buddhas’?”

“No.” Jinjiro chuckled. “It said ‘Inauspicious for all activities’.”

Du Yu also laughed. “I figured as much. Everything we are doing right now is going against the heavens.”

At this moment, Zhi Er walked over with the delinquents from the Inner Yellow Springs and bowed respectfully to Du Yu. “Greetings, Brother Yu.”

Du Yu nodded at him. “You are from the Inner Yellow Springs, Cowherd’s subordinate, right? Why are you all here?”

“That’s right, I am Zhi Er.” After speaking, Zhi Er pointed over his shoulder and added, “This time, it’s not just Brother Lang who came. The boss of South Street, Li Lianying, and the boss of East Street, Qiang Nv, are also here.”

“Good lord…” Du Yu hesitated. He hadn’t asked the Inner Yellow Springs for help, yet they had actually mobilized in full force? Could this be Meng Po’s doing?

“Zhi Er, did Sister Meng send you?” Du Yu asked.

“That’s right. Sister Meng didn’t just send us; she came herself,” Zhi Er said with a nod.

Du Yu found this a bit strange.

He was naturally grateful that the delinquents from the Inner Yellow Springs had come to help.

However, he had participated in their street brawls before.

Because of this, he knew very well… the cultivation levels of these gangsters were simply too low.

For Meng Po to bring them here was undoubtedly sending them to their deaths.

At that time, even Cowherd, as one of the four bosses of the Inner Yellow Springs, only possessed the cultivation of a High Immortal.

But what was the caliber of the current battlefield?

The lowest realm here was that of a True Immortal, and there were also massive numbers of Great Luo Golden Immortals and Almighty Cultivators from the Immortal Realm.

Zhi Nv had once mentioned that Meng Po’s cultivation was on par with the Eastern Emperor and the Northern Emperor, meaning she herself was also at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and fully capable of protecting herself. But why would she drag these street gangsters deep into such a battlefield?

‘Could Meng Po be planning something…’

Du Yu pondered for a moment but couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

He quickly collected his thoughts and stopped dwelling on the matter. Instead, he turned to the crowd and declared, “Everyone, the Heavenly Venerables were attacking the Buddha just now, yet it doesn’t seem to have taken any damage. I suspect this is due to a lack of firepower. For now, our initial strategy is to gather more people to focus fire on it. As long as the Buddha reveals a single flaw, we will have a chance to strike!”

Hearing this, the crowd raised their heads to look at the Buddha.

It really did seem like a mere statue. Ever since declaring the start of the battle, it had stood there without moving an inch.

A girl with a lip piercing thought about it for a moment before asking, “So we just beat the hell out of it blindly?”

Du Yu nodded. “Exactly, attack it blindly! Keep it up until I can think of our next move!”

The girl sneered in response. “This mission is pretty damn easy. The last time I faced an opponent that didn’t move was back in my mother’s womb.”

With that, she pulled a baseball bat out of thin air and roared at the people behind her, “Follow me!”

The rallying cry echoed in everyone’s ears, snapping them all to attention.

Shuten Doji led a massive swarm of yokai into the air.

Medusa also directed her twenty-plus female cultivators from the Hellenic Domain to join the fray.

Coupled with the delinquents from the Inner Yellow Springs and the Time Masters, a massive, collective offensive erupted with a deafening boom.

Seeing this spectacle, the Heavenly Venerables couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows as they too channeled their spells and blasted them toward the Buddha.

The entire scene suddenly shifted as countless people surrounded the massive Buddha, unleashing a barrage of spells with reckless abandon.

Du Yu didn’t rush to attack. Instead, he took a few steps back and observed the situation unfolding before him.

Strangely enough, even after being bombarded by such a devastating assault, the pitch-black Buddha remained completely unresponsive.

What exactly was its structure? And what was its purpose in remaining completely motionless?

The multitude of spells surged upward like a violent storm, crackling and slamming into the Buddha’s entire body.

Meanwhile, the gangsters from the Inner Yellow Springs were far more direct, actually brandishing their assorted weapons and charging right in to hack and slash at it.

As for the Buddha, it truly looked as if it was merely “standing in the rain.” It bore the brunt of every single attack with a completely emotionless face. It didn’t even bother to open its half-closed eyes.

Channeling the power of Zhan Qisheng, Du Yu slowly flew into the air. After circling the area and observing for a moment, he got the sinking feeling that this approach simply wasn’t going to work.
