Chapter 1723: Have Fun, Blood Lobsters!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Nethery’s rival?’

Bu Fang did not expect to draw the attention of Nethery’s rival so quickly.

According to what the n.o.blewoman told him, Nethery’s return to Void City was not to play, but to inherit the Queen of Curses’ city.

She was no longer the miserable Netherworld woman banished to the ruins, but a rich, n.o.ble lady with the Queen of Curses at her back, enjoying a very exalted position. Of course, all this could not be true until she gained the Queen’s favor and inherited her throne.

After coming to Void City, Bu Fang’s thoughts had changed slightly. He had thought it was a run-down place, and Nethery might be uncomfortable here. But now, it seemed that perhaps this was where she should stay. Instead of taking her away, what he could do might be to help clear some of the rivals for her.

‘Since she’s been sent by Nethery’s rival, I can just take this opportunity to eliminate her,’ Bu Fang thought to himself. His mind had become much calmer.

Bess never expected Bu Fang to take the initiative to attack. What shot out of that little fox’s mouth were meatb.a.l.l.s containing the aura of the Soul Demon. As someone who fought beside the Cursed G.o.ddess sent to the Soul Demon Universe, she knew the aura very well.

‘This is the aura of a Great Soul Overlord!’

Bess was shocked. Her soft body suddenly bounced away like a spring, narrowly missing the meatb.a.l.l.s that shot at her like streams of light.

As the record holder of the highest consecutive victories, Bess was really strong. In fact, her strength was almost half a foot into the realm of Chaotic Saints.

Rumble!

The moment the battle began, the entire fighting pit erupted into a roar of cheers. The audience was finally able to see a decent fight. Many people were looking forward to the result.

For the people of District C, it was a hope, one that showed them they could make it to District B too. But for the people of District B, it was a battle for glory.

It would be best if Bu Fang was defeated, for it would mean that District B had successfully defended their glory. But if Bu Fang won, it would be a major blow to them.

As a top expert among the contenders for t.i.tles, if Bess could not stop the d.a.m.ned chef, no one else in District B could.

A terrifying explosion instantly appeared in the fighting pit. The power of Foxy’s Soul Demon meatb.a.l.l.s was not at all ordinary. After all, they were made from the flesh of a Great Soul Overlord. In the Soul Demon Universe, a Great Soul Overlord was a supreme being, with strength comparable to that of a top Chaotic Saint.

‘This chef actually turned a Great Soul Overlord’s flesh into meatb.a.l.l.s?!’

Bess was well aware of the terror of a Great Soul Overlord. In the Soul Demon Universe, each of the seven Great Soul Overlords was as powerful as any of the dukes of Void City.

BOOM!

The violent explosion reduced the battlefield to ruins. Foxy had stopped shooting. Smoke was coming out of her mouth, and her small eyes were narrowed. She looked as if she was satisfied with her performance.

Whitey was standing behind Bu Fang, while Shrimpy was lying on its head, spitting bubbles.

Bu Fang rubbed Foxy’s head. As the ground was pockmarked by the explosion, he hovered in midair, looking indifferently at his opponent.

A charming figure walked out of the black smoke with enchanting steps. “You have a bad temper… I like it. It’s a pity that you chose to stand against Her Majesty Soul…”

Bess’s long legs looked very s.e.xy, and her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were so huge that they almost burst through her clothes. Staring at Bu Fang with her beautiful eyes, she opened her mouth slightly, stuck out her tongue, and gently licked her lips.

The next moment, the curse power wrapped up her body. With a humming sound, she disappeared in a flash and suddenly appeared in front of Bu Fang.

“So… I have no choice but to kill you!”

Bu Fang c.o.c.ked his head slightly to one side.

A rumbling sound echoed out as Bess smashed a large hole in the void, which kept collapsing and sinking. She smiled flirtatiously and then whipped out her long leg.

Bu Fang unleashed the Law of s.p.a.ce. His figure left a shadow in midair, and then the next moment, he was in the distance. He threw Foxy to Whitey.

Whitey’s mechanical eyes flashed. It looked as if it was itching to fight. However, it was stopped by Bu Fang this time. “I’ll do it this time,” said Bu Fang. His voice was faint, but it made many people stop breathing for a brief moment.

“He’s going to fight at last!”

“Have you seen this chef make a move since the first match? All of his matches were fought by his metallic lump!”

“Hehe… Even though he did make a move in the tenth match, no one could tell his actual strength!”

Many people in the audience around the fighting pit narrowed their eyes, and some let out suppressed cries.

A lot of people had been wondering just how strong Bu Fang really was. In his past ten matches, he had only made a move in the last one, but no one could tell his true strength. This time, Bess, the number one in the rankings and the record holder of forty consecutive victories, finally forced this chef into action.

Whitey’s mechanical eyes flashed, and the restless flags behind it quieted down. Holding Foxy and Shrimpy in its arms, it went to the far side of the fighting pit and stayed there quietly. Bu Fang, on the other hand, put his hands behind his back. The Vermilion Robe flapped noisily in the wind.

In the distance, Bess stared at him with narrowed eyes and a seductive look on her face. “Actually, you have another choice, one that doesn’t involve death,” she said, chuckling.

“What choice?” Bu Fang tilted his head and looked at her.

The flirtatious smile on her face grew broader, then she licked her lips. That s.e.xy expression made a lot of people h.o.r.n.y. “You can come with me and serve Her Excellency Soul. That way, you and I can also… Hehe.”

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched. He looked her up and down, then said, “You’re… ugly.” His words, as well as his att.i.tude, were brusque; he rejected her without hesitation.

Bess’s face froze. She could not believe Bu Fang actually called her ugly. Countless men had fallen for her beauty, but this paralyzed-face chef actually rejected her because he thought she was ugly?

“Then you can go to h.e.l.l,” she said.

The next moment, she shook her arms, and two black daggers fell into her palms, both surrounded by the aura of Soul Demons. Then, she dissolved like black smoke. When she reappeared, the daggers in her hands were preparing to slit Bu Fang’s throat with ghostly movements.

At this moment, the Vermilion Robe trembled. As the cry of the Vermilion Bird soared into the sky, a pair of flaming wings unfolded from Bu Fang’s back. A great force erupted from him and hit Bess in an instant.

However, just as Bess was about to be knocked away, she clung herself to Bu Fang like an octopus. The force pushed at her, causing her limbs to stretch like rubber.

She twisted her wrists, and the two daggers began to spin. Accompanied by a sharp whistle, they darted toward Bu Fang like two vipers. Even though Bu Fang was protected by the Vermilion Robe, Bess believed that the two daggers could poke two holes in his body.

Suddenly, something flickered in front of Bess’s eyes. She then saw a golden kitchen knife appear in front of her. With a tinkling sound, her daggers were blocked.

The next moment, the curse power in the daggers rumbled, while divine power erupted from the kitchen knife. They collided like two towering tsunamis. .h.i.tting each other, filling the air with a deafening boom!

The energy waves generated by the collision swept out and hit the walls around the fighting pit, causing them to be covered with cracks. Even then, the person in charge, the old crone, appeared. Hovering in midair, she threw out her hands to stabilize the surrounding arrays, stopping the cracks from continuing to spread.

“He’s so strong!”

Many people were shocked. It was the first time they had seen Bu Fang fight.

“Is that the strength of the d.a.m.ned chef?!”

“I can’t believe he can fight Her Excellency Bess without losing!”

“Her Excellency Bess once fought in the Soul Demon Universe before she came back…”

The n.o.bles gasped. With this level of strength, they would not be surprised if Bu Fang had won the ten matches by himself. No one thought he could win this one, however, because Bess had not yet shown her real strength.

Bess flew backward and hovered in midair. The curse power gathered rapidly and turned into a giant snake under her feet. It opened its mouth wide as if to swallow the sky and roared at Bu Fang.

Bu Fang clutched the kitchen knife in his hand and looked at the woman and the huge snake under her feet.

“You’re a little stronger than I expected… Her Majesty Soul was right when she ordered me to stop you. If you are allowed to enter District A, you will definitely become a great help to Her Excellency Nethery, which is not good news for my superior…”

Bess chuckled. Standing on the head of the cursed snake, her gaze became colder and colder. The next moment, her aura skyrocketed, then one, two, three… Countless cursed snakes appeared and filled the void. They kept sticking out their tongues, and their icy scales shone with an intimidating l.u.s.ter.

The scene made all the n.o.bles suck in cold breaths.

“It’s coming! It’s starting! Her Excellency Bess is going to show her real strength!”

“She’s a ruthless person who once slaughtered an entire small universe!”

A frenzied look appeared in the eyes of many n.o.bles.

What was the concept of adding the power of sin to the cursed snakes? It was like combining the Soul Demon Universe and Void City. It made Bu Fang feel tremendous pressure. Even the five supreme Laws of the Universe in him seemed to be suppressed.

Every cursed snake in the void was not an ordinary cursed snake. They were mixed with the sinful power of the Soul Demon, which skyrocketed their power.

“Are the people of Void City colluding with the Soul Demons now?” Bu Fang said, frowning.

Bess smiled coldly. Icy scales began to surface and cover half of her face. At this moment, she gave Bu Fang the feeling as if she was a Great Soul Overlord. However, her strength was weaker than that of a genuine Great Soul Overlord.

“As long as I can kill you,” said Bess.

Bu Fang exhaled deeply. Void City and the Soul Demon Universe should have some kind of relations.h.i.+p, but it could not be this good, right? Those Soul Demons were a bunch of predators and invaders, evil beings who ate people without spitting the bones.

If Void City did collude with the Soul Demon Universe, it would be a recipe for its own destruction.

Bu Fang looked up at Bess, who was emitting a violent aura. ‘This woman should be unaware that my ability can greatly restrain the Soul Demons…’

If Bess only used the curse power to fight him, then Bu Fang would probably have to use some other means. But when she added the Soul Demon’s power to her attack…

‘I’m sorry, but you’re likely going to call me dad later…’

With a thought from Bu Fang, the blood lobsters swimming in the River of Life within the Heaven and Earth Farmland suddenly widened their eyes and disappeared. When they reappeared, the water splas.h.i.+ng around them was gone, replaced by a swarm of black cursed snakes not far ahead of them.

With a gentle wave of the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, Bu Fang processed the countless blood lobsters. Then, he took out the White Tiger Heaven Stove, placed it in midair, and raised his hand. The scorching divine flame jumped out of his fingertip and went inside the stove.

Meanwhile, under Bess’s control, the cursed snakes kept closing in on Bu Fang, corroding the void as they approached. But Bu Fang was not nervous. He used his knife techniques to process different ingredients quickly. The best way to deal with Soul Demons was food. There was nothing that one dish could not handle, and if there was, then use two.

With a whistling sound, the Black Turtle Constellation Wok suddenly grew larger and spun in midair. Bu Fang’s Vermilion Robe fluttered softly, making him look like a deity.

He pulled out the Qilin Transmigration Ladle with one hand and used it to pour a little golden oil into the wok before adding the ingredients. Soon, the ingredients began to sizzle, and a fragrance rose to the sky.

In the distance, Bess sneered. Then, she gave a long scream. Scales began to appear in other parts of her body, while the two daggers merged with her hands to form two large, sharp mantis blades. She held them high and then brought them down hard to cut Bu Fang’s head!

Bu Fang’s expression remained unchanged. He put the blood lobsters into the wok and cooked them at high heat. With a soft cry, he grabbed the edge of the huge black wok and began to toss it.

The blood lobsters tumbled continuously in the wok, filling the air with a rattling sound. After tossing the wok for a while, Bu Fang added bright red chili pepper. A pungent spicy smell swept through the fighting pit.

The intense flavor stunned all the n.o.bles watching the battle. What kind of fighting style was this? Why had they never seen or heard of it before?!

Rumble!

Inside the huge Black Turtle Constellation Wok, towering flames surged violently as if they were boiling. At the same time, countless cursed snakes shot down from the sky, all charging toward Bu Fang.

In the twinkling of an eye, the surging flames were gone, and Bu Fang’s aura was completely obscured. The cursed snakes had covered him like countless wriggling tadpoles.

The next moment, Bess’s two mantis blades fell. “It’s over!” She burst out laughing with a hideous look on her face.

Suddenly, just when she was about to slash Bu Fang, a beam of golden light shot out from among the black cursed snakes. Any snake it touched instantly melted like summer snow.

In the middle of the fighting pit, a figure clad in a robe appeared.

The Black Turtle Constellation Wok had turned to normal size and was spinning above Bu Fang’s head. Beneath his feet, the divine flame was blazing in the White Tiger Heaven Stove, while the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife and the Qilin Transmigration Ladle hovered around him.

In his hand, he held a plate of spicy blood lobsters that were blooming with golden light. Bess found that her cursed snakes were being pushed away by the light. But how was that even possible?!

The two mantis blades came slas.h.i.+ng down. The Black Turtle Constellation Wok was spinning, and there was a wisp of Chaotic Energy in it. So when the blades struck its surface, it did not move at all.

With an expressionless face, Bu Fang lightly flicked the edge of the porcelain plate containing the lobsters with his finger. “Have fun, blood lobsters!”

The next moment, Bess, in the distance, saw something flash in front of her eyes. The cooked blood lobsters seemed to come back to life and were rus.h.i.+ng at her while brandis.h.i.+ng their great pincers.

Bess was dumbstruck. Could cooked blood lobsters fly?!
