Chapter 532: Six Choices, Bogang Released from Prison Only to Return to Hell
If the demons lacked wisdom, Broly would hunt them down as prey without the slightest hesitation.
But they possess wisdom, so negotiated transactions became Broly's first choice.
"Do you few have any intention of selling your own flesh and blood?"
Broly flew over and began asking the demons present.
"What do you want our flesh and blood for?"
The demons looked at each other in dismay, exchanging a glance before asking.
"I have two wives; they want the flesh and blood of otherworldly demons to use as raw materials for spellcasting and research."
Broly spoke the plain truth.
"Who are they?"
"Human magi from another world."
"Oh, those damn human sorcerers, actually coveting our power!"
Bogang roared with some indignation.
"So, are you selling your flesh and blood or not?"
Broly grew somewhat impatient.
"Although you are powerful, don't even dream of obtaining our flesh and blood; demons will never sink to being lowly livestock."
The Earth Demon Di Helmet, clearly lacking confidence, nevertheless spoke these words with vicious ferocity.
"Is that so? Then let me name a price. This is a standard portion of Katsudon; which of you is willing to bid, purchasing it with your flesh and blood?"
Broly didn't waste words, producing other food from the Crystal Palace, opening the wooden lid and calling out.
"Smells wonderful~"
The aroma wafting from the Katsudon made the demons sniff their noses involuntarily, especially Bogang, whose appetite was the largest and gluttony the most intense.
"Don't let a mere meal tempt you; we were once Demon Lords who ruled the surface world."
The Thunder Demon Zhongsu roared at Bogang, who was swallowing saliva and seemed on the verge of being drawn in by the food.
"I know, but the thing in his hand really smells good; my build is huge, swapping just a tiny bit for it doesn't seem like a problem."
Bogang spoke as if persuading himself.
Other Demons: "..."
"Being with you, I truly feel my value dropping."
Xi Mu retorted.
"Therefore, I intend to raise the price. Broly, this food of yours is insufficient to buy my flesh and blood, not even a piece the size of a pinky fingernail."
Bogang said with a straight face.
"Then how many portions of Katsudon do you want for a piece of your flesh and blood the size of a fingernail?"
Broly also asked seriously; given that the Crystal Palace's internal space was currently usable, the cost of this stuff was merely the fee for cross-border entry into the Crystal Palace.
How much 125 Happiness Points can bring in depends purely on the size of the Cross-Border Gate; at present, 125 Happiness Points can roughly pull in a truck container's quantity of rice bowls.
As long as Rin Tohsaka or Aozaki Touko have the strength to pull that much in, and the Crystal Palace's remaining space can accommodate that much.
"I want ten portions — oh no, make it a hundred portions, and preferably add extra pickles on each portion, or a packet of salt."
Bogang opened his mouth like a lion; he felt that jacking the price up a hundredfold was a very demonic thing to do.
"Deal."
Perhaps Broly would have haggled a little.
"If it's less than ten portions, I absolutely won't..."
Bogang hadn't finished speaking before he reacted to Broly's reply.
"What did you say?"
"I said deal. Do you want to go back on your word?"
"Oh, damn, seems I sold myself short~"
"This otherworldly demon flesh and blood is really cheap!"
In Fuyuki City of the Type-Moon World, Rin Tohsaka exclaimed, then took her black card out to sweep the streets, not limited to Katsudon — as long as it was edible, she bought it.
In Guanbu City, Aozaki Touko did likewise, using superpowers to book an entire nearby street of restaurants and beginning to produce high-salt foods.
After waiting roughly one hour, using magic power to strengthen their bodies, they pushed super-large handcarts through the door into the Crystal Palace, and each obtained a piece of Mountain Demon flesh and blood the size of a washbasin.
That was no ordinary demon flesh and blood; because they had said they wanted it for spellcasting materials, the Mountain Demon Bogang subconsciously assumed Broly needed flesh and blood brimming with demonic qi.
After obtaining a pile of food half his own height, this Mountain Demon generously pinched off two pieces of flesh and blood saturated with demonic qi from his own belly and handed them to Broly.
Placed in the Type-Moon World, its Mystery was maxed out, plus the special bonus of being an outsider's item, making the breathing of the Tohsaka Family's genius magus girl in Fuyuki City grow heavy — feeling just like picking up ordinary river pebbles yet exchanging them for the world's most precious gems.
"Is there more?"
Aozaki Touko asked eagerly; with raw materials, she felt she could craft better puppets.
"Are you few selling or not?"
Bogang was eating heartily; Broly began inquiring of the other demons.
"I don't want these foods; do you have anything else to trade?"
Broly's ability to communicate with another world to obtain supplies made the demons deeply envious, but being unable to defeat him made this group of demons settle down and conduct fair trade with the Saiyan boy.
Flesh and blood usable as spellcasting materials is, plainly put, flesh and blood saturated with their demonic qi; and this stuff, staying in Hell, would only keep being weakened — better to sell some off while it still retains some, to exchange for what they themselves desire.
So, in the end, even the Earth Demon Di Helmet, who had shouted "Demons will never sink to being lowly livestock," pinched his nose and held the soil he had traded his demonic-qi flesh and blood for, his whole body nestling in it, uttering the words that otherworldly soil truly smells wonderful.
Time quickly passed two days; many things happened in the outside world, and Walong, possessed by the Saint Lord, led his Mafia subordinates to obtain the Pangu Treasure Box.
And the Pangu Treasure Box, like a Rubik's Cube, under Walong's flying kick, without any pretense directly revealed the coordinate map image of the first sealed demon.
The Mafia arrived in Tokyo, Japan, and Jackie Chan pursued them there; the riddle given on the Pangu Treasure Box that the Mafia and the others hadn't solved was solved by Jackie Chan, who was an archaeologist.
Alright, to be precise, it was Xiao Yu, who wanted to cover up the fact that she had used the Beginner Copy Spell on herself, and in order to conceal the clone's existence, accidentally gave a hint that solved it.
Jackie Chan found a shrine temple, and Walong possessed by the Saint Lord along with the Mafia and other subordinates quietly followed behind.
After finding the correct location of the Shen Yu Zhi Men entrance, the Pangu Treasure Box automatically activated, and the Mountain Demon Bogang's gate was opened.
In Hell, Bogang, who had traded flesh for a pile of food again, was eating when he suddenly discovered the Shen Yu Zhi Men beside him.
He originally wanted to cry out in alarm, but then reacted — there was still a big shot here, and the other party might rob his family's Shen Yu Zhi Men.
So, he quietly approached his own gate, and only after half a foot had stepped inside did he shout loudly at the others: "Hey, brothers and sisters, look what I found."
Seeing the other demons and Broly look over together, Bogang continued: "That guy the Saint Lord actually succeeded; I can leave Hell now. Goodbye, my brothers and sisters, I'm off to enjoy myself in the outside world first, hahaha..."
Leaving those words, Bogang didn't stay any longer and directly exited the Shen Yu Zhi Men. Broly was just preparing to follow, but the Shen Yu Zhi Men closed up, and he lunged into empty air.
"I think you owe me an explanation."
The Sky Demon Xi Mu, who was preparing to fly away, was grabbed by the tail; Broly hauled this guy before himself and spoke.
"I think this should be because you were a step too slow."
Xi Mu attempted to muddle through.
"One Shen Yu Zhi Men can only let one demon pass through."
But Zhou Lan's words revealed the truth.
"You didn't tell me this."
Broly looked at the Sky Demon in his hand and said.
"But you didn't ask me this either, did you?"
Xi Mu accompanied with a smile and said.
Broly narrowed his eyes, lifted him by the tail, spun, and used a Great Strength Throw.
With a bang, the Sky Demon who clearly had many petty schemes fell onto the distant levitating floating rocks.
"Oh, damn it, Bogang's speed entering the gate was way too fast!"
Xi Mu, smashed on the rock, started complaining.
"Is anyone among you willing to sell your own Shen Yu Zhi Men?"
Broly asked, but the answer to this question was known without asking.
"There is no demon here who would sell their chance to possibly gain freedom."
The Honest Demon Xiao Feng said.
Broly thought for a moment and felt it was true, but if that was the case, then he might have to consider killing a demon, turning the Shen Yu Zhi Men the other party might open afterwards into an ownerless object for him to pick up, and then thank nature's bounty.
In Hell, the remaining Six Great Demons suddenly had a creepy feeling; they subconsciously distanced themselves from Broly's position, yet from this Saiyan boy's body they sensed a deep and fatal malice.
"He wants to kill us."
"Because of the Shen Yu Zhi Men, he wants to leave Hell and go to the human world."
"Then what should we do?"
The demons huddled together, whispering and discussing.
And placed before them was an incomparably serious problem.
Broly had generated killing intent toward them, his desire to seize a Shen Yu Zhi Men already written on his face.
"Fight, we can't beat him even combined; flee, this is Hell, where can we flee to? That guy's speed, you've all seen it, it's even faster than this guy Xi Mu. For the current plan, there's only one method left."
Zhou Lan said.
"What method?"
The other demons looked over.
"Sacrifice one among us."
"Who to sacrifice?"
"Who was it that told him about the Shen Yu Zhi Men?"
Zhou Lan's words were pointed; Xi Mu's expression stiffened, and he hurriedly pulled away from the other demons.
"This matter we'll have to face sooner or later; whether I tell him or not is the same, don't you dare think of using this reason to sacrifice me."
The Sky Demon, putting on a brave front while inwardly fearful, roared at the other demons.
"You should learn to take responsibility."
Zhong Su condensed a thunder spear in hand, seemingly ready to act at any moment.
The Water Demon Ba Sha, however, also had a tiger-watching-prey appearance.
"Hah, even if you plan to sacrifice me, do you think he'd be willing to wait for my Shen Yu Zhi Men to open?"
"What do you mean?"
"Broly, we've discussed and decided that when the next Shen Yu Zhi Men opens, we'll give it to you."
Xi Mu didn't wait for the other demons to surround him, but directly flew out of the encirclement, and after arriving beside Broly, he spoke to the Saiyan boy like this.
"Eh?"
Broly, who hadn't yet decided whether to kill a demon, heard this and the ill thoughts in his heart instantly dissipated completely; blinking his eyes, he asked the other demons who had caught up: "Is this true?"
The demons like Zhou Lan who had caught up at this time could still say what — could they say this was Xi Mu's unilateral decision and then be locked onto by Broly's deep malice?
"Uh, this, of course it's true."
"Won't it make you feel very difficult, very reluctant?"
"No."
【Do we dare say yes?】
【Want to sacrifice me, dream on; now, one-sixth probability, let's gamble.】
Xi Mu, floating behind Broly, grinned a smile whose meaning anyone could read.
【One-sixth probability, purely up to luck; the next Shen Yu Zhi Men to appear won't necessarily be my Shen Yu Zhi Men.】
Zhou Lan and the other demons understood each other without a word.
【As long as the next Shen Yu Zhi Men isn't mine, just stop that guy from entering; send this plague god Broly away first.】
Apart from Xiao Feng, the other five great demons all harbored the same thought: as long as the next Shen Yu Zhi Men to open isn't theirs, send Broly away first; but if it is theirs, they'll fight desperately to enter first.
It is well known that demons not keeping their word is also perfectly normal.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, Tokyo, Japan, after gorging himself in Hell, Bogang emerged from prison and had zero interest in the offering Jackie Chan presented to the Saint Lord.
"I will rebuild my palace right here, and from now on this island will once again fall under the rule of me, Mountain River Demon Bogang; all humans on this land will kneel at my feet and serve me anew!"
"That is only natural, but, my dear sister, do you really not want to eat the offering I prepared for you?"
Walong, possessed by the Saint Lord, pointed at Jackie Chan, who was being restrained by Black Tiger Ah Fu, and asked again.
"I don't want this inferior food with bones; give me a delicacy prepared clean by humans!"
The demon came out; Jackie Chan thought he was dead for sure, but the other party looked down on his appearance.
"Fine, if I'm inferior food then I'm inferior food; at least I'm safe for now."
Jackie Chan exhaled, suddenly threw his head back, and smashed it into Black Tiger Ah Fu's nose behind him.
Taking advantage of the other loosening his grip in pain, Jackie Chan crouched and darted out, escaping in a flash.
"An escaped demon wants to rule humans; I have to tell Dad."
"Jackie Chan ran off, chase him!"
"No need to chase; our target isn't Jackie Chan, our purpose is to release all demons."
The Mafia members had just stepped forward when Walong, possessed by the Saint Lord, called them back.
Mountain Demon Bogang strode with heavy steps, easily smashing through the shrine temple's enclosing wall.
And his target was the tallest building in bustling Tokyo in the distance.
"That would be just right as my palace!"
Tokyo Tower caught his eye; Bogang followed the river toward Tokyo Tower.
"All flustered, Jackie Chan, what are you doing?"
The fleeing Jackie Chan ran into Dad, who had hurried over this way.
"Dad, a demon has already come out."
He hurriedly explained the situation.
"I came precisely to deal with him; eh, where's the demon?"
Back inside the shrine, looking at the mess all over the floor, the white-haired Dad asked.
"Went toward the city."
Xiao Yu popped out from behind the shrine gate, pointed toward the bustling city through the breach in the wall, and said.
"Aiyo~"
Just then, the Copy Spell took effect again; Xiao Yu's clone regiment doubled in number once more, squeezing out from behind the shrine gate.
"Aiyo, here's an even bigger trouble."
Looking at the courtyard full of Xiao Yu, the white-haired Dad felt his brain case ache a bit.
"Now's not the time to worry about this, Dad; let's hurry and go defeat the demon."
"This isn't something for a kid to do, Xiao Yu; you're not allowed to leave again, stay right here; Tru, we're going to deal with that demon."
"Don't forget to bring me, Dad."
Jackie Chan and Tru rowed the boat, taking Dad toward the demon's direction, while Xiao Yu, left behind by the adults, crossed her arms.
"You never said we all had to stay."
When they reached beneath a large bridge, Mountain Demon Bogang was finally caught up to, but because Tru forgot to bring Zhang Guolao's token drum, Jackie Chan and the others fell into a desperate situation.
Right as the small boat was about to capsize and the potion for dealing with Mountain Demon was about to fall into the river and lose effect, a pile of Xiao Yu jumped down from the bridge, stubbornly using a human-sea-tactics drop from the sky to smash Mountain Demon Bogang into the water.
"Dad, the drum you need, catch."
Bogang smashed the bridge, so vehicles couldn't pass; many people still thought they were caught up in a special effects film shoot.
Xiao Yu's main body, on a stopped car, saw the drum Dad needed to deal with the demon, and threw the drum down.
Along with the chant "Demons and monsters quickly leave," Mountain Demon was wrapped in sealing magic power and flew back into the shrine's Shen Yu Zhi Men.
"This was truly a hearty, thorough victory!"
"Xiao Yu, I told you not to follow; now how are we supposed to fish out so many of you who fell in the water?"
"I think I have a way."
Tru said.
"What way?"
"The reason there are this many Xiao Yu should be because the Copy Spell hasn't stopped yet; as long as we dispel this spell, the other clones will disappear; then we only need to fish up one Xiao Yu; just right, to solve the antique vase's copying problem, I tried making an antidote."
"Oh, Tru, you're the most outstanding apprentice I've ever seen."
Dad accepted Tru's antidote and started praising.
"So, which of you is the real Xiao Yu?"
Jackie Chan asked with hands on hips.
"Me!"
A crowd of Xiao Yu answered in unison.
"Whoever used the Copy Spell, I'm grounding her from TV for a year."
"She!"
The many Xiao Yu in the Current all at once pointed at the Xiao Yu throwing the Drum on the Bridge.
The curse lifted, the group hurriedly ran off.
And the Chaos situation also let the Mafia run off.
"This Special Effects Drama really spares no expense, they actually blew up the Bridge!"
The passersby on the Bridge thought it really was a Special Effects Drama filming.
Hell.
"Hey, Bogang, how are you back again?"
"It's been less than Ten Minutes since you went out, right?"
"Damn it, a whole bunch of Exactly Same Small Girls suddenly Fell from the Sky and Smashed me into the Current; by the time I surfaced again, a Renwulei mage sent me back with a 'Demons and Monsters Quickly Leave' spell. Sigh, I shouldn't have taken the water route!"
Bogang, returned to Hell, regretted deeply; if he had taken the land route, he fundamentally would not have been overwhelmed by a group of Small Girls.
But this perhaps is the power of Righteous Qi, making him make a wrong Judgment, and even gifting the Opponent the Key Item Drum!
