Chapter 1791: Letting None Escape!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Bu Fang took out the Stinky Stargazy Tofu, the overwhelming stench put a dumbfounded look on Ju Mang’s face. ‘Can this incredibly foul-smelling thing really attract those Soul Demons? Are you sure you’re drawing them over and not driving them away?’ He had some confidence in Bu Fang, but when he saw the dish, he began to waver and become uncertain.
Bu Fang was calm. He knew the Soul Demon’s weakness very well. The more fragrant a dish, the less attractive it was to them. To get them to come obediently, he had to use stinky food. The stench of Stargazy Pie plus Stinky Tofu stunk to high heaven, so it would have no trouble in attracting them.
All the Saints of the Great Path were stunned. They had no confidence in Bu Fang at all, but they could not say anything.
The Primitive Universe was now suffering from both internal and external problems—the so-called internal problem was those Soul Demons who slipped through the net. They had quietly grown into formidable Soul Overlords and become a threat to all humans.
They left Ju Mang’s small world. While the Saints of the Great Path were all hidden in the void, Bu Fang put his hands behind his back and walked at a steady pace across the boundless plain. His eyes were closed, and his spirit sea was surging with divine sense. He was searching for the perfect position. Finally, he found it and stood still.
In the void, all the experts widened their eyes. Foxy, Whitey, and Shrimpy were also hidden in the void watching Bu Fang.
Suddenly, Bu Fang stomped his foot. A rumbling sound rang out, and the Primitive Sphere seemed to shake. The next moment, the ground cracked, and a round stone platform slowly rose from it, rus.h.i.+ng into the sky with Bu Fang on top and towering into the clouds.
Sitting cross-legged on top of the 10,000-foot-tall stone pillar, Bu Fang’s Vermilion Robe flapped noisily as the wind whistled and blew at him. He looked like an immortal sitting on an altar preparing to teach.
With a thought in his mind, a porcelain plate appeared in front of him, containing a steaming Stargazy Pie covered with many Stinky Tofu fried black and golden. A pungent stench wafted out from the dish, spreading in all directions.
“Will this really work?” asked a Saint of the Great Path suspiciously. They came not because they believed in Bu Fang, but because they trusted Ju Mang.
Ju Mang was not sure either. However, the knife was on his neck now, and he had to believe in Bu Fang. “Let’s see. If he can really draw in many Soul Demons, we will be able to get rid of the internal problem!” he said.
After that, they turned their gazes to the stone pillar down below, where Bu Fang had closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Time went by quickly, and a long time had pa.s.sed in a flash, but the stench still lingered. In the void, the experts of the Primitive Universe grew impatient. It had been a long time, yet nothing showed up. Clearly, Bu Fang’s method had failed.
“How could those Soul Demons be attracted by a dish? Not to mention it is such a stinking dish…”
Some experts shook their heads and were planning to leave and return to the places they were guarding and continue protecting the cities. Even Ju Mang had a disappointed look in his eyes.
Sure enough, it was not so easy to attract all the nearby Soul Demons and kill them in one fell swoop. He opened his mouth and was about to ask the Saints of the Great Path to leave. After all, they had their duties. If they left their stations for too long and allowed the Soul Demons to rush into a city and slaughter the people, it would be a disaster.
Bu Fang remained seated atop the stone pillar, unmoving like a mountain. His expression was as usual. He was not worried at all because he knew they would come.
The Saints of the Great Path were about to leave when their hearts shuddered. It was a premonition given by the Great Path. At their level, they were very sensitive to this kind of premonition. Knowing that something was amiss, they raised their heads.
In the distance, the horizon was blotted out by dark clouds, while the terrifying power of sin spread and churned like ferocious demons as it flew toward Bu Fang at great speed. In just the blink of an eye, the world within ten thousand miles turned into night, and plumes of black smoke rushed to the sky, frightening all the people within the area.
“This… They’re coming? Really?!” Ju Mang’s pupils narrowed, his eyes filled with disbelief. What gave him the creeps were the shadows and auras that appeared in the sky around them. “How many Soul Overlords are there?!”
In fact, not only Soul Overlords, but quite a few Numbered Soul Demons were also attracted. For a moment, the whole area was transformed into a world of Soul Demons. The Primitive Universe’s Saints of the Great Path were stunned, then their expressions grew serious.
“The Soul Demons have finally appeared… Let’s all fight together and destroy these plagues that have invaded the Primitive Universe!” said Ju Mang. All the Saints of the Great Path nodded in agreement.
Bu Fang, sitting atop the stone pillar, knew that the Soul Demons were coming the moment the black smoke appeared. However, he did not expect the numbers. “Ten Soul Overlords, thirty-two Numbered Soul Demons…” He stood up and exhaled gently. Compared with the battle in Void City, this was only a small fight.
Red eyes emerged from the black smoke, staring at the Stinky Stargazy Tofu on the stone pillar. The smell that drew them here emanated from it, making it difficult for them to suppress their desire. It smelled way better than the taste of human flesh, which was the reason why they were attracted from everywhere.
“Hehe… Only one human? He’s looking for death!”
“It smells so delicious! I want to eat it! I’ll take both the human and the dis.h.!.+”
“Kill! Kill the human!”
The Soul Demons’ voices were reverberant and sounded very scary, but Bu Fang remained calm and his expression did not change at all. Putting his hands on his back, he turned and faced the Soul Demons all over the sky.
Suddenly, the black smoke churned, then a plume of black smoke rushed toward Bu Fang like a falling meteorite. With a monstrous killing intent, a Soul Demon approached him in an instant.
This was a Numbered Soul Demon who could step into the realm of Soul Overlords at any time. He was completely fascinated by the Stinky Stargazy Tofu and could not resist his desire. In fact, Soul Demons were creatures filled with desires.
Bu Fang watched the Numbered Soul Demon approach with an expressionless face, who was strong enough to even fight a Saint of the Great Path.
“Give it to me!”
A savage roar shook the sky. The black smoke dispersed, revealing an ugly, twisted face. Then, the Soul Demon thrust his sharp claws toward Bu Fang’s heart.
Even as the claws were closing in, Bu Fang smiled faintly, raised his hand, and pointed a finger at the Soul Demon’s forehead. The next moment, a rumbling sound rang out, and the crimson divine flame emerged.
The Soul Demon howled instantly as he was burned by the divine flame, covered by flames from top to bottom. He struggled in midair and howled painfully, but Bu Fang remained indifferent.
By the time the fire had gone, the Numbered Soul Demon, together with his true form, was burned to a crisp. And this was just the beginning.
The sound of the tearing of the air continued to ring out as more Soul Demons rapidly approached Bu Fang. Soon, he was completely surrounded.
In the void, Ju Mang was very excited. He knew this was their chance to wipe out the nearby Soul Demons! There were ten Soul Overlords here, and if they killed them all, it would certainly be a great loss to the Soul Demon camp!
All the Saints of the Great Path struck out. They pulled the power of the Great Path to themselves, and for a moment, countless energy streams swirled in midair. Then, all kinds of magic weapons flew out of the void, and the Saints of the Great Path followed close behind and began to fight with the Soul Demons.
In an instant, the area turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y battlefield. The battle startled the wilderness, and the nearby city was shaking so violently that it almost collapsed. People were hiding in their houses, s.h.i.+vering and hoping for a swift end to the fighting.
Bu Fang stood at the top of the stone pillar and looked at the Stinky Stargazy Tofu. Any Soul Demon that came before him was easily killed by him. He was waiting for the big fish. The stronger a Soul Demon was, the easier it was for him to escape the temptation of food. Bu Fang was well aware of this.
However, even if a Soul Demon could escape the temptation of food, it did not mean that he could completely give up its temptation. The real big fish had yet to appear.
Boom!
All of a sudden, a huge, hot-tempered Soul Demon slammed ferociously against the stone pillar, threatening to bring it down. Then, a whistling sound echoed out across the void as Whitey descended in an instant and landed in front of the Soul Demon. With just one punch, it blew the Soul Demon to pieces.
The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. The ten Soul Overlords began to fall. Of course, many Saints of the Great Path were killed. It was a battle for survival!
Whitey and Foxy joined the battle as well. Their attacks were very effective against the Soul Demons. Whitey killed one Soul Demon with every punch, and Foxy killed one with every meatball she spat.
Soon, all the Soul Demons in the surroundings were eliminated by the human experts. Their true forms were wailing and trying to escape when Whitey’s belly turned into a black vortex once again. A powerful suction force erupted from it and pulled all the Soul Demons’ true forms drifting in midair into Whitey’s belly.
The nearby Saints of the Great Path were astonished. Ju Mang, on the other hand, was very excited, his eyes s.h.i.+ning brightly. This battle would put an end to all the Soul Demons in this area!
He turned to Bu Fang and found that he was looking at the distant sky with gleaming eyes. Ju Mang was taken aback, and he quickly turned to look in the same direction. His heart immediately skipped a beat because he saw that the void there was slowly distorting!
Before long, three Soul Demons appeared, their bodies fully covered with black scales. As soon as they arrived, all the Saints of the Great Path became very nervous.
“They are top Soul Overlords! They are the equivalent of Chaotic Saints!”
Ju Mang felt hard to breathe as if someone was pinching his heart with a great hand. He could not believe that Soul Demons of this level had appeared in the area he was guarding. How was that possible? If it were not for Bu Fang’s Stinky Stargazy Pie, they would not know that there were already Soul Demons that had grown into Chaotic-Saint-level Soul Overlords!
Ju Mang’s heart beat faster, his hair stood on end, and his heart was filled with lingering fear. Suddenly, a question came to his mind, ‘Why are these top Soul Overlords hiding all the time? What is their purpose?!” He sucked in a cold breath.
“There you are…”
Bu Fang smiled faintly. He was waiting for these three Chaotic-Saint-level Soul Overlords.
“Go! Let’s go!” Ju Mang said in a panic. There were no Chaotic Saints in their area, so they could not resist these three great demons! On Bu Fang’s side, only Whitey and Foxy could fight two of them, and the remaining one would be enough to defeat or even kill them all!
A cold laugh rang through the air. These three top Soul Overlords were only the equivalent of newly promoted Chaotic Saints, but they sneered arrogantly.
“I can’t believe that humans actually dare to set up a trap to lure us in. You are simply looking for death!” said one of the Soul Overlords. The next moment, the power of sin spread and turned into weapons, then the three top Soul Overlords rushed out at the same time.
Foxy squinted and soared into the sky with the aura of HeavenG.o.d Destruction pouring out of her body. At the same time, Whitey’s purple eyes flashed, and the flags behind it flew away and thrust into the ground.
The remaining top Soul Overlord approached Bu Fang, grinning evilly. At this moment, Ju Mang’s figure flickered and appeared in front of Bu Fang, intent on defending him against this formidable foe. However, he was immediately hit by the Soul Overlord. The blow made him cough up some blood and knocked him flying backward. Even his foundations of the Great Path had become unstable.
“Dammit!” Ju Mang’s eyes turned red.
Boom!
The Soul Overlord landed at the top of the stone pillar, his scarlet eyes staring at Bu Fang. Then, he opened his mouth filled with sharp, pointy teeth and let out a deafening roar.
“Go to h.e.l.l, human!”
He thrust one hand toward the Stinky Stargazy Tofu and swung the other at Bu Fang.
