Legend Management Bureau Chapter 314

[ … words ]

Hearing the whistling sound of wind breaking behind her, Tamamo-no-Mae pulled Ootengu and Zhi Nv behind her, then turned and struck out with a palm.

You Si lightly raised a hand to block it, but she had not expected this palm strike to carry the force of a thunderbolt.

She was forced back three full steps before she could stabilize her footing.

“I didn’t expect to have underestimated you…” You Si slowly rolled her wrist. “Do you want to die too?”

Tamamo-no-Mae’s expression was grim. Her previous palm strike had exhausted nearly all her demonic power, yet it seemed to have no effect on this woman.

Tamamo-no-Mae slowly set down the Sessho-seki she carried on her back. Right now, there was only one thought in her mind—shatter the Sessho-seki and unleash her Demonic Beast form.

There was a famous saying in Fusang: when the Sessho-seki shatters, Tamamo-no-Mae emerges.

In March 2022, the Sessho-seki located in Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture, Fusang, shattered due to an earthquake. Countless citizens panicked, and the world believed that Tamamo-no-Mae would appear.

But only Tamamo-no-Mae knew that she had long since swapped out the real Sessho-seki, guarding it personally to ensure it would not cause a massive disaster.

The strange woman before them was overflowing with murderous intent and possessed profound cultivation. She had to be dealt with before she could cause any more devastation.

If she turned to attack the Saint or the Yan Emperor instead, the situation would become even more difficult to handle.

Not far away, Shiranui Asuka instantly saw through Tamamo-no-Mae’s intentions and shouted loudly, “You can’t do that! Big Sister Tamamo-no-Mae!”

“Little Xiang?” Tamamo-no-Mae turned her head and looked at Shiranui Asuka.

“I don’t want anything to happen to you!” Shiranui Asuka ran to Tamamo-no-Mae’s side and pleaded, “There has to be another way to resolve this, right?!”

Hearing this, Tamamo-no-Mae gazed into the distance. Shuten and Ibaraki were entangled by two offensive Array Formations, and Ootengu had temporarily lost his combat strength.

Hachishakusama and Kuchisake-onna were naturally unstable factors that went without saying. Aside from herself, Rokurokubi was the only monster left who still had some fighting strength.

Relying solely on their current strength, how could they possibly defeat the woman in front of them?

“Little Xiang, I have made my decision,” Tamamo-no-Mae said slowly. “When I became a Shikigami, I swore an oath to protect my master with my life. Even if I have to transform into a demonic fox and fight to the death for you, it is simply my duty.”

“No!” Shiranui Asuka cried out. “I don’t want to lose you, Big Sister Tamamo-no-Mae…”

“Be a good girl.” Tamamo-no-Mae stepped forward and gently patted Shiranui Asuka’s head. “Listen to me, don’t look at how I will appear.”

Tamamo-no-Mae gently covered Shiranui Asuka’s eyes and threw a punch straight at the Sessho-seki.

But in the exact moment her fist was about to strike the Sessho-seki, an extremely cold and slender hand reached out, firmly catching her fist.

“Huh?”

Tamamo-no-Mae turned her head and saw a girl in a green dress standing in front of the Sessho-seki, her entire body radiating a freezing aura.

“I just got Little Zhan settled down, and now I hear Dong Qianqiu crying for help. Every single one of you is ready to throw your life away. Who did you learn this from?” the girl grumbled impatiently.

You Si slowly observed the icy young girl before her, knowing in her heart that this newcomer likely possessed the highest cultivation among everyone present.

“Heh.” The girl in green looked at You Si and giggled softly. “It seems there is still a formidable figure on this Battlefield.”

“Big Sister Ying Ning!” Shiranui Asuka jumped up in delight. “This is great! You’re here!”

“Don’t act like we’re so close,” Ying Ning replied. “Take the injured and step aside. I will deal with her.”

You Si slowly descended from midair and landed on the ground, her face dark and sullen.

Ying Ning took light, graceful steps as she walked toward You Si.

“You look like a female ghost with thousands of years of cultivation,” You Si remarked slowly.

“And you look like a bitter, temperamental shrew,” Ying Ning retorted with a smile.

“Hmph!” You Si scoffed coldly. “Although your cultivation is profound, you may not necessarily be able to defeat me. Do you want to join me?”

“Join you?” Ying Ning chuckled. “Would you even have anything I want?”

“Follow me, and you will become Eternal! From then on, you will possess supreme longevity, supreme Magical Power, and supreme fortune!” You Si smiled with wild arrogance. “Your timeline is so distorted, making you the perfect candidate!”

Ying Ning furrowed her brows slightly and replied, “Supreme longevity, supreme Magical Power, and supreme fortune? What a pity. Not a single one of those is what I desire.”

“Don’t be foolish. If you become Eternal, you will gain everything,” You Si continued. “Do not fight me for the sake of the ants before you. You are worthy of ascending to a higher realm.”

“On the contrary, if I become Eternal, I will truly have nothing,” Ying Ning said. “I want to spend my life with only one person. I want to stay by the side of the man I love forever. Even though I am already an immortal ghost, I still want to have my Soul Scattered And Spirit Dispersed in his arms.”

You Si’s expression darkened as she declared, “Since you refuse to agree, then I will simply have your Soul Scattered And Spirit Dispersed myself.”

With that said, her fingers twitched slightly, and another Array Formation descended out of thin air.

Ying Ning’s gaze turned frosty, and the entire Array Formation was instantaneously encased in ice. Upon hitting the ground, it shattered into fine powder.

“Is this all you are capable of?” Ying Ning slowly walked forward, every step she took freezing the ground beneath her feet into solid ice crystals.

“It seems that move does not work on you… How about this one?”

You Si abandoned her Array Formations and instead waved both hands, condensing a massive tornado between her palms. She let out a loud shout, “Five Elements Spell! Retrograde Wind!”

Ying Ning and Dong Qianqiu, who was watching from in front of the screen, were both stunned at the same time.

What shocked them was not You Si’s cultivation, but rather the fact that they were far too familiar with this Retrograde Wind. It was clearly Zhan Qisheng’s signature Cultivation Method!

Unleashed from You Si’s hands, the Retrograde Wind was ten times more powerful than when Zhan Qisheng used it.

Before Ying Ning could recover her wits, a massive gale swept over her.

Every gust of wind was like a sharp knife, quickly slashing her skin.

Left with no other choice, Ying Ning condensed a thick layer of ice across her entire body to defend against the razor-sharp winds.

Seeing Ying Ning become invulnerable due to the ice layer, You Si’s face darkened. She grabbed firmly at the empty air with both hands and roared, “Reversing Flowing Fire!!”

A massive burst of flames suddenly erupted from Ying Ning’s body, instantly incinerating the thick layer of ice.

“What the hell…” Ying Ning was completely engulfed in flames, yet she ignored the pain entirely. Her lips twitched as she spoke with a face full of fury, “First it was Retrograde Wind, and now it’s Reversing Flowing Fire. Are you doing this on purpose?”

“What’s wrong? Are you frightened by my Time Magic?” You Si sneered. “A Cultivation Method derived from combining Five Elements Spells with Time Magic. In this world, only I alone am capable of using it.”

Ying Ning’s eyes widened drastically. “What a load of nonsense!”
