Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 545 Control of the Shadow Legion Changes Hands
On her way home from school, Xiaoyu first went to the park along the way.

"I have to get rid of the tattoo on my ankle. Otherwise, if Uncle Long finds out when I get back, even if it's not a tattoo, he'll definitely lecture me."

Xiaoyu put her feet under the tap and rubbed the pattern on her ankle with her hands. After rubbing for a while, she exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah~"

"what happened?"

Broly looked over.

"It can't be washed off."

Broly reached out and rubbed it for him, and found that it really was true.

"Maybe I shouldn't have used plastic wrap."

Xiaoyu suspected that the problem was that her own imprint was too deep.

"Don't you have any other options?" Broly asked, then suggested, "How about you bear the pain and I'll peel off the skin from your ankle where the tattoo is, and then I'll heal you."

“Ugh, that sounds painful. I think I can go back and get some kerosene to try. Broly, you come back to the antique shop with me and cover for me.”

Xiaoyu, who was afraid of pain, directly rejected Broly's suggestion to peel off the skin and remove the image, and instead asked the Saiyan boy to help cover for her later.

Broly agreed, but when they returned to Papa's Antique Shop, they found it to be somewhat chaotic.

"Dad, Tru, what happened at the antique shop?"

Xiaoyu, who had pulled her trousers up to her ankles, asked about her father and Tru, who were tidying up the antique shop.

"They were from the Black Hand Gang. They pretended to be wealthy antique buyers but secretly stole the complete book of magic. We discovered them when they were leaving, and they started throwing my father's antiques around. We caught some of the antiques, but some were still smashed."

Tru explained.

Fortunately, only a few ordinary antiques were damaged, while the precious blue and white porcelain in my hand was not broken.

The old man was wiping the blue and white porcelain on the side, and said with some relief, "This is my store's prized possession."

"Uh, what about the complete encyclopedia of spells?"

Xiaoyu looked around the study but didn't see the complete book of magic spells, so she asked.

"Don't make Dad say it a second time, that book has already been stolen by the Black Hand Gang."

"Oh, then why do you all look so calm?"

"Because Jackie Chan has already gone there, we believe he can handle this matter."

Both his father and Tru have great confidence in Jackie Chan.

"Ok."

Of course, Xiaoyu had one too; she carried her schoolbag back to her attic room.

"It's a pity we came back too late, otherwise we could have filmed a new action movie."

Xiaoyu put down her schoolbag and said with some regret.

"Perhaps it's not too late."

From the attic, Xiaoyu poked her head out and called down, "Dad, how long has Uncle Long been gone?"

"It's been almost an hour, what's wrong?"

"He hasn't come back after an hour. Something might have happened to Uncle Long. Broly and I are going to find him!"

After saying this, Jade, carrying the Agent Polaroid camera, jumped onto Broly's back and prepared to set off to find Uncle Dragon.

Broly remembered Jackie Chan's aura, but he had to distinguish it. He spent quite a while trying to figure it out before setting off.

. . . .

"Ah Fen, Jackie Chan is coming."

The gang members who stopped their car at the fishing port were ambushed by Jackie Chan, who was lying on the roof of the car.

"catch him!"

Jackie Chan retrieved the complete magic manual, but this time, clutching the thick book, he couldn't escape.

"Take this, Jackie Chan, Crow Takes Flight!"

Ah Fu leaped high into the air, his arms outstretched like a roc spreading its wings, and with a powerful flying kick, he landed right on the magic manual that Jackie Chan was holding.

Jackie Chan, who was holding the complete book of magic, was kicked and sent flying. His head hit a metal cargo box stored next to the fishing port with a thud, and he immediately passed out.

"Holy Lord, look what we have brought you."

The Black Hand Gang, along with the complete magic manual and the unconscious Jackie Chan, went to see Shendu.

"My complete encyclopedia of magic, and Jackie Chan too!"

The Lord was very satisfied with the results achieved by Valon's men this time.

"You guys did a great job."

He praised the four members of the Black Hand Gang.

"Uh, is it just verbal praise?"

The Black Hand gang members were quite pleased, as it was rare to be praised by the Holy Lord. However, Rasu somewhat spoiled the atmosphere by asking questions.

"Of course not, but I haven't achieved my goal yet. Once you help me achieve it, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

The Holy Lord made grand promises, pointing to the Complete Book of Magic and Jackie Chan lying in Rasu's arms, being carried by Rasu in a princess carry, saying, "Give me the Complete Book of Magic, and tie Jackie Chan up. I haven't figured out how to use this guy yet."

. . . .

“I think I might be able to cast a power-weakening curse on Jackie Chan. As long as Broly comes to save him, he will definitely be cursed. But, that old man who can cast spells is a problem. He might be able to break my curse…”

The Holy Lord flipped through the encyclopedia of spells, which contained many evil curses that He had long forgotten, but how to deal with Broly was still a problem.

"Furthermore, Holy Lord, don't forget that they also have the power of talismans. Your horse talisman once helped Jackie Chan break the petrification curse."

Valmont reminded the Holy Lord that they had once set a trap to petrify Jackie Chan, but the effect was neutralized by the Horse Talisman.

"Shut up, Valmont! I haven't forgotten about that. Let me look for other evil curses!"

The Holy Lord scolded Valmont with dissatisfaction and then continued to look through the magic encyclopedia, but by this time Jackie Chan had already woken up.

"Why am I here?"

"You've been arrested, Jackie Chan."

"We defeated you."

Lasu, Afen, and Zhou's group were quite happy, as they rarely managed to defeat Jackie Chan. MVP Afu remained silent, but in a normal fight without any props, his skills were even better than Jackie Chan's.

However, in real fights, Jackie Chan can always use the terrain and props to win, but this time, there are no props or terrain that Jackie Chan can use in the fishing port.

"Welcome to my territory, Jackie Chan. You look like a caterpillar now."

When Shendu heard that Jackie Chan had woken up and was coming over with a complete book of magic spells, he began to ridicule Jackie Chan.

"Holy Lord, don't be too happy yet. My father and the others will definitely contact Sheriff Black when they see that I haven't been back for a long time. Someone will come here to rescue me soon."

"Oh, I'll save you, of course, that's exactly what I want, but before you're rescued, I'll cast all sorts of evil curses on you, so that whoever comes to save you will suffer great misfortune and be cursed."

"Holy Lord, you are so despicable."

"I may be a demon, but I'm not despicable. Do you expect me to preach about being glorious and righteous?"

The Holy Lord's words made a lot of sense, leaving Jackie Chan speechless.

Just then, with a loud crack, the second-floor window was smashed.

"who is it?"

The Holy Lord looked toward the direction from which the sound came from the second floor and saw Jade, holding a Polaroid camera, walking out of the room, with Broly beside her.

"Oh, Uncle Long, he's been captured by bad guys."

Xiaoyu's mouth dropped open. Before she came in, she thought her Uncle Long was inside, fighting three hundred rounds with the villains of the Black Hand Gang.

"Ah, Xiaoyu, why are you the ones who came?"

Jackie Chan also saw Jade upstairs. He originally wanted to give his niece a lecture, but then he realized that Broly was also an agent of District 13, so he started asking her questions instead.

“We’ve finished school and heard from Dad that you were chasing after the Black Hand Gang and haven’t come back for an hour, so we came here to look for you.”

"You've come at the worst possible time. Come out, my ninjas."

With a wave of his hand, the shadows in the entire building began to distort, and masked ninjas in black emerged from the shadows.

"It's the Shadow Legion."

Xiaoyu involuntarily took a step back, because a black-clad ninja also appeared in the shadow in front of her.

“These things do not appear to be living organisms, but rather to be composed of clumps of faint energy.”

Broly sized up the black-clad ninjas in front of him. These ninjas didn't feel like living beings to him; they were more like familiars resembling water elements.

"Broly, don't make any rash moves. Jackie Chan is my hostage right now."

The Holy Lord drew Valmont's cane sword and placed it against Jackie Chan's neck, threatening him.

"Uncle Long!" Xiaoyu cried out in concern upon seeing this.

"Broly, don't worry about me, quickly take Xiaoyu and get out of here."

Jackie Chan was more worried about his niece's safety than his own, so he directly told Broly to take Jade away.

"No, Uncle Long, we can't abandon you, we must save you!"

Xiaoyu refused to leave.

"But how are you going to save me now that I'm like this?"

Jackie Chan asked a rational question.

"Uncle Long, don't worry, I'm very fast. I can easily save you before the Holy Lord can do anything to you."

Broly spoke earnestly to Jackie Chan below.

"Ha, I won't let my guard down. Even if you have the Rabbit Talisman, I can guarantee that I'll take care of him before you save Jackie Chan..."

Before the Holy Lord could finish speaking, His hand, which was holding the cane and sword, was seized.

"what are you doing?"

He turned his head and looked at the shadowy ninja next to him with some doubt, only to have his sword snatched away and kicked away by the shadowy ninja next to him.

"Holy Lord, why are your Shadow Legion soldiers attacking us?"

Ah Fu, La Su, and others were also surrounded by ninjas. After they were forced back, the ninja with the sword came to Jackie Chan and brought his sword down on him.

"Oh no!"

Jackie Chan instinctively closed his eyes, but he wasn't slashed by the sword. Instead, the ropes binding him were cut.

Two shadow ninjas jumped down, each carrying one of his arms, and carried him up to the second-floor corridor.

After placing Jackie Chan in front of Jade, the ninjas knelt down on one knee before her, behaving like loyal ninjas completing a mission for their master.

"Wow, the Shadow Legion ninjas saved Uncle Long, and they seem to be listening to me."

Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide and said.

"But, Xiaoyu, how did you do that?"

Jackie Chan was still a bit confused, not understanding how his niece had managed to turn the Dark Lord's Shadow Legion against him.

“I think it has something to do with the tattoo on my foot.”

Xiaoyu revealed the tattoo on her ankle, which was now faintly glowing with a dark light.

"Oh no, Xiaoyu, you actually got a tattoo?"

Jackie Chan stared wide-eyed, looking as if the sky had fallen.

"Uh, don't be nervous, Uncle Long. I just drew the pattern and washed it off with water to stick it on."

Xiaoyu quickly explained.

"Damn it, Jackie Chan's niece, she stole my control over the Shadow Legion."

After rescuing Jackie Chan, the Shadowkhan ninjas stopped attacking Shendu and his group.

At that moment, the Holy Lord also noticed the pattern on the girl's foot and angrily shouted, "You thief!"

"No, you are the thieves! Go, my ninjas, and retrieve the complete book of spells that the Holy Lord and his men stole from Old Man's antique shop!"

After discovering that she could command the Shadow Legion, Xiaoyu became completely engrossed. Instead of asking Broly for help, she took command of the Shadow Legion's ninjas.

"You bunch of fools, I am your master!"

The Holy Lord cursed angrily, but the Shadow Legion ninjas ignored him. All the Shadow Legion ninjas summoned by the Holy Lord rushed towards them.

The Holy Lord was not weak, but even the strongest fists cannot fight against many hands. He was quickly kicked away by a shadowy ninja.

Another ninja jumped over, caught the complete book of spells in mid-air, and leaped directly to the second floor. He knelt down on one knee in front of Tama and presented the complete book of spells with both hands.

"Holy Lord, run! We can't defeat so many ninjas!"

The Holy Lord's eyes flashed red, and he spewed flames from his mouth, forcing back a group of ninjas.

With a wave of his hand, a cloud of magical smoke rose up.

He took the Black Hand Gang and others with him, but escaped from the ninja's encirclement.

"What bad luck! We almost got killed by our own people."

"They were our former comrades."

Ten kilometers away, at another secret base of the Black Hand Gang, Rasu and the others said with lingering fear, "The Shadow Legion wasn't this strong when they fought Jackie Chan. I don't know why they're so strong against them."

"Holy Lord, the Complete Book of Magic has been taken away by Jackie Chan and his gang again. It will be difficult to get it back. What should we do?"

"The Encyclopedia of Spells, that's not important anymore. I've destroyed the methods for dealing with demons recorded in it. You guys get ready, we're going into District Thirteen to seize the talismans."

"Hey, what about the Shadow Legion?"

"The Shadow Legion isn't so easy to control. Jackie Chan and Broly will definitely be in trouble."

. . . .

"Several pages have been torn out of the spellbook; there must be methods to deal with demons on it."

After taking the book back to the antique shop, my father examined it, sighed, and said...

"Father, what's important now isn't the complete encyclopedia of magic, but Xiaoyu."

Jackie Chan picked up his niece and pulled up her trouser leg to show her to his father.

"Oh dear, this is the mark of a great demon. Wearing this on your body will definitely bring some disaster."

The old man exclaimed.

"But Dad, this pattern didn't bring me any trouble. On the contrary, it helped me save Uncle Long..."

Xiaoyu quickly explained how she manipulated the Shadow Legion to save Jackie Chan from Shendu's clutches.

"Just let me keep it. I promise I'll make the Shadow Legion under my control do good. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'Power used for good is good, and power used for evil is evil'?"

Xiaoyu gave her father a fawning smile, eager to retain the ability to command the Shadow Legion.

"That's true, but that refers to powers that don't have magic. Some powers are inherently dangerous and can lead people into darkness."

"But I've tried, and it can't be washed off."

"Magic must be dealt with by magic. Marks of magic must be cleansed with special potions. Dad needs to go to his room to mix potions. Don't bother Dad."

The father's attitude was firm, just like Jackie Chan's, forbidding Jade from keeping the demon mark on her ankle.

"And one more thing!"

The closed door was suddenly opened, and Dad popped his head out.

"Until Dad concocts the cleansing potion, Xiaoyu, don't misuse the power of the mark on your foot, understand?"

"Uh, I understand."

Faced with her father's stern gaze, Xiaoyu could only nod in agreement.

"very good."

The old man closed the door with satisfaction.

"Hey~"

Xiaoyu sighed.

"Broly, do you think this is reasonable?"

"What's reasonable?"

"Uncle Long and Dad are determined to erase this mark from me. Clearly, as long as I have this mark, the Holy Lord and the others will not be able to command the Shadow Legion, while I can still have the Shadow Legion deal with the Holy Lord and the others."

"I think they're just worried about your safety."

"But what danger is there in commanding the Shadow Legion? Look how obedient they are to me!"

As Xiaoyu spoke, she had the ninjas perform acrobatics.

In Xiaoyu's room, one ninja tossed several ping-pong balls, while another ninja performed blindfolded dart throwing.

The clicking sound then revealed a wonderful human figure outline technique.

"Xiaoyu, you promised your father that you wouldn't misuse the power of the mark."

"Broly, you're my best friend, that's why I shared my troubles with you, but now you're not going to stand by my side anymore?"

"Uh, okay, I'm on your side. You want to preserve the mark of commanding the ninjas, and I think there's a way to do that."

“Broly, I knew it, you and I were in cahoots.”

Xiaoyu was very happy because Broly's statement brought her happiness level to 60 points.

She and Broly had only known each other for 17 days.
