Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bu Fang sat calmly on his chair, toying with a teapot in his hand.
In the distance, a pellet drum was pierced by a black arrow, which came flying toward Nethery with terrifying energy. Under the impact of the arrow, the void shook and seemed to be on the verge of shattering. Ripples of energy kept spreading in all directions.
Xiao Ai screamed. This was a Chaotic-Saint-level attack. The blow jointly unleashed by Pi Dong and Pi Xi—both Chaotic Saints—was as strong as that of a marquis, and this was what made her scream.
“Your Excellency, move!” she shouted. She tried to alert Nethery. In the face of the arrow, she did not dare to move, so all she could do was scream. She could even imagine Nethery’s tragic look after being pierced by the arrow, and it filled her with dread.
The arrow with black fletching was made with the feathers of the two-headed black phoenix. It was extremely powerful and even came with the terrible power of curses and corruption. Marquis Lang Gu’s pellet drum was not an ordinary drum, yet it was pierced by the arrow in a flash.
Nethery’s pupils constricted. A chill spread up from the soles of her feet and made her shudder. The next moment, the ghostly green cursed snake emerged at her side, trying to block the arrow.
As Xiao Ai was despairing and Nethery was on the alert, a black wok suddenly appeared in front of Nethery. With a crisp clanging sound, the arrow hit the wok. The arrow, which could pierce the rattle, kept spinning on the wok, yet it could not move any further.
Holding the Black Turtle Constellation Wok with one hand, Bu Fang lifted the teapot to his mouth and took a sip. After that, his Taotie Arm exerted a great force and swung the wok, knocking the arrow back. A piercing whistle filled the air as it flew toward the cavalry in the distance.
Meanwhile, a furious roar echoed out. A peerless great demon had awakened—Marquis Lang Gu’s body had turned extremely huge like a terrifying monster. His body, drowned by the cavalry, stood up at this moment, and he spread his arms.
The soldiers charged right into his arms and were pushed away by him. With a rumble, they flew tumbling backward. The savage beasts fell to the ground, and so were the soldiers on their backs, who quickly rolled and struggled to their feet, filling the air with clanging sounds of their armor and weapons.
Alone, Marquis Lang Gu had fended off the fearsome Cavalry of Death!
Suddenly, a whistling sound approached, and in a flash, the black arrow that came flying back pierced three soldiers and pinned them to the ground. Blood spilled and flowed from their bodies.
The peerless great demon slammed his chest repeatedly, making a loud rumbling sound. Many savage beasts knelt as soon as they heard the sound, shaking with fear.
One after another, the soldiers stepped on the savage beasts and rushed into the sky, holding spears, pikes, knives, and swords as they charged forward.
Marquis Lang Gu narrowed his scarlet eyes. Then, he threw out his huge palms and swatted the soldiers, turning their bodies into sprays of blood. The battle became b.l.o.o.d.y in an instant.
The n.o.bles of District A, hiding in the distance, sucked in their breath.
“I can’t believe Marquis Lang Gu is ma.s.sacring in District A…”
“Is this guy out of his mind?!”
“He’s the ruler of District B, yet he came all the way here to murder! He will be punished by the dukes!”
The twin brothers, Pi Dong and Pi Xi, exchanged a glance. They were shocked when they saw the arrow fly back. They knew the chef’s fighting strength. The fact that he was able to fight two marquises in District B showed that he had some unusual trump cards.
However, the chef’s strength was, at most, as strong as that of a Saint of the Great Path, and he had used his trump cards that could fight marquises in District B, which clearly could not be used again so soon in District A. So when they exchanged a glance, they saw the fervent look in each other’s eyes.
“Kill him now!” the twin brothers cried out in unison.
The next moment, three black arrows emerged in their hands. One of them held the bow, while the other notched the arrows and pulled the bowstring. When the string was pulled to its maximum length, they released it. With a tw.a.n.g, the arrows turned into three streamers and sped away, filling the air with a piercing whistle.
After unleas.h.i.+ng the arrows, the brothers roared, jumped up the back of the two-headed phoenix, and rushed toward Marquis Lang Gu. They could not let their Cavalry of Death be stopped by a marquis. As the leaders of a force serving Soul, they had to prove their worth.
The two-headed phoenix cried as it rushed toward the great demon, who was Marquis Lang Gu, and began fighting him. As it flapped its wings, its claws kept tearing scratches on his skin, making him bleed. However, that only further provoked him.
Marquis Lang Gu’s fist fell like a mountain, struck the phoenix on the head, and knocked it to the ground. Suddenly, the twin brothers appeared from behind it. Hovering in midair, Pi Dong held the bow, while Pi Xi notched an arrow and unleashed it.
The arrow sped through the air and pierced Marquis Lang Gu’s chest, knocking him to the ground. Blood kept gus.h.i.+ng out of the wound.
Meanwhile, the three arrows they shot out earlier were closing in on Nethery, who was in the restaurant.
“Again?!” Xiao Ai had long been scared out of her wits. However, she bolted in front of Nethery, closed her eyes, and spread her arms. ‘I’d live and die for Her Excellency!’ she thought to herself.
Suddenly, the black wok appeared again, hovering in front of the girl. Two arrows struck it and could not advance any further, but the third one dodged it and flew toward Bu Fang.
“Oh? So I am the target? How cunning…” Bu Fang said indifferently.
The tea in the teapot splashed as he put one hand behind his back and fixed his eyes at the black arrow. When it was one inch away from him, the robe he was wearing let out a sonorous cry. The next moment, his hair floated as the Vermilion Bird emerged behind him, spread her wings, and soared into the sky.
The black arrow soon stopped spinning and fell to the ground. Then, Bu Fang put his strength into his hand and threw the black wok, which flew out of the restaurant with the two arrows, spinning rapidly.
With a humming sound, the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife emerged, slashed down from the sky, and drew a straight line one meter in front of the restaurant.
“Those who crossed the line will… die.” Bu Fang drank a mouthful of tea, then walked out of the restaurant and stood at the door. The Black Turtle Constellation Wok rushed out and knocked several soldiers into the air, while the two arrows pierced a few men as well.
Looking at Bu Fang, who was standing in front of the door, Xiao Ai’s eyes were filled with shock and excitement. ‘He’s so… handsome!’ Her maiden heart was touched!
Suddenly, a clanging sound could be heard in the restaurant as Whitey walked out of the kitchen, its purple mechanical eyes flas.h.i.+ng. ‘This puppet…’ Xiao Ai glanced at Whitey. Her heart seemed to flutter. She was deeply shocked by it at the moment.
The monkey brain was still throbbing on the table and kept emitting its rich aroma. Wagging her little tails, Foxy jumped up Nethery’s shoulder, squeaked, and swooped down on it. However, she was caught by Nethery.
“You can’t eat this. If you want, I’ll have Bu Fang make one for you later,” Nethery said, shaking her head.
The little fox’s head drooped instantly like a defeated warrior.
Outside the restaurant, Bu Fang stood in front of the door. He had drawn a line. It was the restaurant’s first day, and he did not want to kill anyone, but now it seemed that such an idea would not work.
The arrow had torn a large hole in Marquis Lang Gu’s chest. However, the flesh around the wound writhed, and soon the hole was healed. After all, he was a great demon, and the strength of his body was extraordinary.
Pi Dong and Pi Xi naturally did not think they could kill a marquis with this method. They exchanged a glance, then rushed out from both sides.
The huge two-headed phoenix proved to be no match for Marquis Lang Gu. After all, it was only as strong as a Chaotic Saint. Its wings were grabbed by the marquis, who was extremely violent in his demon form. With a roar, the great demon ripped off the wings.
Blood poured down like a waterfall and flowed across the ground of District A as the phoenix’s painful cry filled the air. However, the twin brothers had taken the opportunity to get behind the marquis, and they were rus.h.i.+ng toward the restaurant.
Many soldiers had moved around the great demon and were closing in on the restaurant as well. As for the line drawn by Bu Fang, they naturally ignored it.
“Attack! For Her Excellency Soul… Attack!” Pi Dong and Pi Xi bellowed in unison, their faces cold. In just a flash, they crossed the line.
The moment they crossed the line, Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. “Whitey…” he called faintly. At the voice, the puppet emerged behind him. “Kill those who crossed the line,” he said.
Whitey’s purple mechanical eyes flashed. Then, it vanished as if it had teleported away.
Riding on a huge lizard, a soldier crossed the line and approached the restaurant. Suddenly, Whitey appeared, stomped its foot, and threw out a large fist, crus.h.i.+ng the lizard’s head with just one blow.
The soldier jumped up, landed in front of Whitey, and punched it several times on the chest. However, Whitey did not budge. That gave the soldier pause. The next moment, Whitey threw its head at him and crushed his head, blowing the skull and the brain into bits and pieces.
All the soldiers who crossed the line were effortlessly blown apart by Whitey. Soon, the air was filled with numerous wandering souls.
In the distance, the great demon put a foot on the phoenix and roared.
The remaining soldiers of the Cavalry of Death were terrified, their hearts hammering. They stopped their savage beasts and did not dare to move any further.
Bam! Bam!
Whitey threw out both its fists, colliding them with the two punches from the two approaching figures.
Pi Dong and Pi Xi flew backward and fell to the ground. They landed before the line, looking warily at the puppet. Whitey, on the other hand, fixed its purple eyes on them, guarding its position like an impa.s.sable mountain.
The great demon roared and forced the Cavalry of Death to retreat. With that, Marquis Lang Gu had fulfilled his promise. He had single-handedly forced back an army!
Pi Dong and Pi Xi looked warily at Whitey, then at Bu Fang. They could not believe this restaurant had stopped their Cavalry of Death. Suddenly, they heard a rumbling sound. It startled them, and they glanced over their shoulders at the same time.
They saw a chariot, which was followed by countless experts. At the sight of it, their faces beamed with joy.
“It’s Her Excellency Soul!”
Clad in a combat suit, Soul’s face was indifferent as she approached, staring coldly at the Cavalry of Death, the great demon, Bu Fang, and the restaurant.
Ting-a-ling!
A thin figure was standing behind her. Although the figure looked weak, its aura seemed to be joining with the universe.
All the n.o.bles watching the fight sucked in their breath. They knew the restaurant was… finished! The weak-looking figure was none other than… d.u.c.h.ess Tianlian! A duke of District A finally showed up!
