Legend Management Bureau Chapter 271

[ … words ]

“You young kid, let go of me right now!” Gou Wu roared. “I have memorized your face! You are definitely going to die today! If you have the guts, kill me in public! Otherwise, none of you will ever leave the Jiang Tribe alive!”

“Of course,” Du Yu nodded. “You are absolutely right. I definitely have to kill you today, or there will be endless trouble in the future.”

Du Yu’s words were powerful and resonant, clearly reaching the ears of everyone nearby.

Some people even thought they had misheard.

Just how brazen was this outsider? Was he actually planning to kill someone?

“You outsider, let go!” A burly man stepped forward and tugged at Du Yu. “Paternal Uncle Gou Wu’s father is Gou Mang!”

Du Yu let out an exasperated laugh. “Paternal Uncle’s father? Could you stretch that connection any further? My friend’s friend is Pan Gu.”

“You young kid!” Gou Wu, covered in cold sweat, gritted his teeth and spat, “Stop acting tough! My ancestors will absolutely never let you off!”

“Don’t worry, if you all die here, the news won’t spread at all.”

Du Yu furrowed his brows slightly. “Wood God?”

Like Zhurong, Gonggong, and Houtu, did Gou Mang represent Wood, one of the Five Elements?

“Heh, hehe…” Gou Wu squeezed out an ugly, sinister smile. “Are you scared now? It is useless to be afraid now… You will die, all the men in your tribe will die, and your women will become my playthings…”

Hearing this, Du Yu could not help but feel a bit of pity for this Gou Wu. “You want to kill the men I brought with me? That is going to be a bit difficult. I reckon you could not even beat a single one of them. In comparison, I am probably the easiest to deal with.”

Seeing that Du Yu absolutely refused to let go, the surrounding tribesmen realized he was likely not some kindhearted soul, and their tone involuntarily softened. “Outsider, please let go of Big Brother Gou Wu! If you really kill him, the Patriarch will not just sit back and watch!”

Du Yu’s expression remained unchanged as he tightened his grip, seemingly completely deaf to their persuasion.

Gou Wu’s hand was already entirely deformed; his wrist had been completely crushed by Du Yu.

“I will give you one last chance,” Du Yu stated. “Apologize, promise that you will never harass us again, and I will spare your life.”

“Are you trying to scare me?” Gou Wu sneered viciously. “I do not believe you would actually dare to kill me on this street. But rest assured, I have ten thousand ways to make all of you die without anyone ever knowing.”

Du Yu sighed helplessly and addressed the surrounding tribesmen. “I gave him a chance, but he did not cherish it.”

Sensing a distinct aura of murderous intent surging from Du Yu, Gou Wu finally felt a pang of fear. He hurriedly shouted to the tribesmen around him, “What are you all standing around for?! Hurry up and attack!”

The tribesmen gritted their teeth and charged at Du Yu together.

Du Yu reached out and gently pushed A’xiang away. He then unleashed ghost-like footwork among the crowd, dodging various incoming attacks.

His right hand remained clamped tightly around Gou Wu’s wrist, never letting go. Because of this, every evasion violently yanked at Gou Wu’s arm, causing him agonizing pain.

“I am also giving all of you a single chance. If anyone does not want to die, leave right now, and I will pretend nothing ever happened!” Du Yu declared once more.

However, these burly men were used to throwing their weight around with Gou Wu. How could they allow someone to walk all over them?

In their eyes, it was impossible for so many people to fail to subdue Du Yu. Therefore, every move they made was a lethal strike, yet Du Yu consistently dodged, remaining completely unharmed.

Shiranui Asuka watched anxiously from the sidelines. Although tribesmen walked past from time to time, the moment they saw Gou Wu and his lapdogs tangling with an outsider, they all pretended not to notice and turned away.

“Can someone please come and help Senior Du Yu!” A’xiang stomped her feet in sheer panic.

Right at that moment, a Fireball slowly sailed through the sky, plunging rapidly toward the area right beside them.

As if sensing something, Du Yu let out a cold chuckle. He then gently shoved away the men around him and used the momentum to drag Gou Wu forward, positioning him perfectly at the Fireball’s point of impact.

Before Gou Wu and his lapdogs could even react, the Fireball crashed down, exploding right on top of Gou Wu.

In an instant, roaring flames erupted across the living man’s body.

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

Shouts suddenly rang out from the distance, followed by the blaring of a horn.

Gou Wu’s lapdogs were utterly stunned. They never expected Du Yu to use an enemy attack to eliminate Gou Wu.

Before they could even attempt to extinguish the flames on Gou Wu, Du Yu shoved several of them together, perfectly catching another incoming Fireball.

The remaining men finally realized that Du Yu truly wanted them dead, and they hastily scattered in all directions.

But how could their foot speed possibly compare to Zhongli Chun’s movement technique?

Du Yu darted back and forth across the street a few times, shoving every single lapdog straight into the flames.

“I am sorry about that, Big Brother Zhurong,” Du Yu said, clapping the dust from his hands. “Your attacks killed so many people; Yan Emperor will probably make you write a self-reflection report.”

Du Yu stopped bothering with the men thrashing about in the fire and returned to find Shiranui Asuka. “A’xiang, are you alright?”

“I am fine, Senior Du Yu. What about them? Are they all dead…?”

“Mhm,” Du Yu nodded. “Keeping those people around the Jiang Tribe would be a disaster sooner or later. Today, they accidentally died in an enemy attack.”

“But…” Shiranui Asuka said hesitantly. “You were the one who pushed them into the Fireballs after all. Won’t people find out?”

“It is better if they do,” Du Yu replied. “Not only did I eliminate a few menaces for the Jiang Tribe, but I also made this enemy attack far more convincing. After all, there are actual casualties now. If no one got hurt the entire time, who would believe this was a real enemy attack?”

“Huh? What do you mean?” Shiranui Asuka asked in confusion.

“I will explain it to you later. Let’s find a place to take cover first!” Du Yu grabbed Shiranui Asuka’s hand and dragged her into a house to hide.

After all, the Fireballs were aimed at unpopulated areas. Running around wildly on the street still carried a risk of being struck.

After waiting for about an hour, the bombardment of Fireballs finally ceased.

“Let’s go. The mission has begun!”

Du Yu led Shiranui Asuka out of the house. The street was already a sea of flames, with numerous tribesmen desperately trying to extinguish the fires.

“It is the Yellow Emperor!” someone yelled loudly. “Someone just said this attack was launched by the Yellow Emperor!”

Du Yu glanced around. Rumors were echoing everywhere on the street; this felt just like a public opinion warfare campaign that the Yan Emperor had prepared long in advance.

The tribesmen’s expressions shifted from shock to rage, then from rage to resignation, before finally settling into deep helplessness.

They had just barely survived the war against Chiyou, and now they had to go to war with the Yellow Emperor?

The Yellow Emperor had so many capable and extraordinary individuals by his side. From the looks of it, rivers of blood would flow once more, and families would be torn apart.

Just as everyone was about to fall into total despair, a bare-chested burly man wearing a dried-grass cape suddenly stepped forward and roared:

“Yellow Emperor!!! I will never rest until one of us is dead!!”

The crowd turned to look and realized it was actually Nameless standing atop a roof, screaming in pure fury.

“Fellow tribesmen, do not panic!! I shall head to the Yellow Emperor’s camp alone and bring back the Yellow Emperor’s head for you all!”

Du Yu narrowed his eyes as he looked up at Xing Tian on the roof. The fact that he was willing to fight this battle alone at this exact moment was naturally incredible news for everyone else.

This way, they could place all their hopes on another person and avoid bearing that immense pressure themselves.

No one would feel panicked by Xing Tian’s departure; instead, they all felt it was a great thing.

“Nameless! Nameless! Nameless!” the tribesmen cheered.

Even before setting off, Xing Tian had already become a hero.

Seeing that the time was right, Xing Tian leaped down from the roof. He pulled out his bronze Giant Axe, strapped it to his back, and cupped his fists toward the crowd. “Nameless is leaving. I hope everyone will not worry!”

With those words, he turned around and slowly walked down the path leading out of the village.

“Sister Qianqiu, have A Can and A Kui intercept Xing Tian outside the village! Tell Xiao Nian and A Jiao to bring Houtu to the outskirts!”

Du Yu never expected Xing Tian to use a “public farewell” method, so he had to temporarily change the plan and let the two of them talk outside the village.

Receiving the order, Dong Qianqiu immediately used Voice Transmission to inform both teams separately. Du Yu hurriedly followed after him. Xing Tian was a rather stubborn person; if A Can and A Kui were left to negotiate with him, things might go wrong. Du Yu had to speak with him personally.

It was not long before Xing Tian walked out of the village, where a pair of brothers, equally bare-chested as him, were waiting.

“You are… Houtu’s subordinates?” Xing Tian immediately recognized A Can and A Kui.

“Yes, Senior,” A Can replied. “Could we ask you to wait here for a moment? Someone will be here to see you shortly.”

“See me?” Xing Tian paused in surprise. “Who could possibly be so important that I absolutely must see them?”

“This…” The Can and Kui brothers were looking at each other in dismay. “We cannot say right now, but you will have your answer very soon.”

Although Xing Tian was confused, he genuinely sensed no malicious intent from the two of them. He thought it over for a moment and said, “Fine, since that is the case, I will wait for a bit.”

Just then, Du Yu ran over panting heavily and rushed right up to Xing Tian. “Oh my god! You guys walk incredibly fast!”

Seeing Du Yu run over, Xing Tian looked puzzled. “Are you not that ‘Little Sage’ brother? You want to see me?”

“No…” Du Yu gasped for air, waving his hand. “It is not me who wants to see you… It is you. Did you forget something?”

“Forget?” Xing Tian asked. “What did I forget?”

“To say goodbye!” Du Yu snapped irritably. “Why didn’t you say goodbye to Houtu!”

“Were you not in the village just now?” Xing Tian replied. “I already climbed onto the roof and said my farewells to everyone.”

“What is wrong with you, you dense meathead!” Du Yu scolded in frustration. “Do you understand a girl’s feelings at all? What kind of farewell treats everyone exactly the same? It would have been better if you said nothing at all!”

“Uh…” Xing Tian was a little stunned by Du Yu’s reprimand. “Brother Little Sage, what are you suggesting then?”

“We have already gone to call Houtu, you are going to say goodbye to her in person!”
