Chapter 1612: This Is My Chef’s Robe
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A sharp sword energy fell from the sky with monstrous killing intent that made the people under it almost suffocate.
The Great Wizard’s pupils constricted, and his hair stood up. Bu Fang, standing next to him, frowned and looked up at the sky in bewilderment. ‘Who wants to kill me so badly? Based on what he just said, he’s here to avenge Yamata no Orochi?’
In the distance, Dracula narrowed his eyes. ‘Oh? They started fighting? Very good! No one will come to disturb me from acquiring this treasure now!’ he thought, grinning.
‘This treasure is a suit of clothes… Is it a defensive treasure?’ While vampires were incredibly resilient, he did not mind having an additional defensive treasure.
Putting all the other thoughts out of his mind, Dracula looked intently at the robe behind the egg. The treasure that was shrouded in dense spiritual energy filled his heart with a fiery desire.
‘Based on its appearance, could this robe be a treasure left behind by an ancient Immortal of Hua? A treasure that holds a quarter of the Earth’s spiritual energy… Was it a treasure of an Immortal King or an Immortal Emperor?’
Dracula’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. In front of an Immortal King or an Immortal Emperor, he was just an ant. But if he could acquire this treasure, he might soon rise to the same level as these almighty experts!
Bu Fang looked up at the sword energy coming down from the sky. As it shot straight toward him, he raised his hand and held out his palm to fend it off. However, as soon as they collided, the sword energy broke and shattered into pieces.
That gave Bu Fang pause. ‘This sword energy came in such a pompous manner, and yet its power is so weak? This doesn’t make sense!’
Even the Great Wizard rolled his eyes. “This can’t be… That voice just now is the G.o.d of Sakura Island, Susanoo no Mikoto! He’s an existence comparable to a Hua Earth Immortal! Why is this sword energy powerless?!”
The Great Wizard was very old, but he had seen a lot of things. Even so, he did not understand this.
Bu Fang was also puzzled.
The sword energy dissipated, but that Susanoo did not appear. All of a sudden, an even thicker sword energy shot over with a rumble, and in just the blink of an eye, it struck Dracula, who was approaching the robe in the distance.
With a deafening rumble, the vampire’s body exploded! A large amount of blood gushed out of him, while he screamed and moved to the side as fast as he could!
At this moment, a dark purple figure emerged in midair. It was a Sakura Island samurai wearing a full suit of armor and holding a katana in his hand. With a single swing of his sword, he seriously wounded Dracula. Even with the vampire’s amazing ability to recover, the wound kept bleeding and did not heal!
“Susanoo! You shameless, despicable piece of tras.h.!.+ How dare you sneak attack me?!”
Dracula was furious. He thought that Susanoo was attacking the Great Wizard and Bu Fang, but it turned out that it was just the latter’s dirty tricks. From the very beginning, the sinister Sakura Islander’s target was him! Or rather, the guy’s real target was the immortal robe!
Susanoo was clad in armor, and even his face was covered by a mask. However, everyone could see his icy cold eyes. After forcing back Dracula, he now occupied the position closest to the Vermilion Robe.
The dense spiritual energy was constantly rolling around the robe, making it look even more mysterious and powerful.
“You’re just a vampire. What do you need this immortal robe for? It is left by the G.o.d of Sakura Island!” Susanoo said coldly.
Dracula’s eyes flickered with killing intent. “I can’t believe you’re so shameless!”
In the distance, the Great Wizard pointed out the magic wand in his hand, and the pool of blood that bound him and Bu Fang immediately exploded. Now, four formidable beings hovered in midair, looking at each other from afar.
The chefs who were abducted by the vampires were already trembling violently with fear. People often said that when Immortals fought, the mortals suffered. This was what happened to them. Even though some of them were superhumans, they still looked like ordinary people in front of Dracula and Susanoo. They wanted to flee this place, but the strength had left their legs.
Sneering, Susanoo moved around the egg and reached for the Vermilion Robe with a hand. He, too, was eager to get the treasure in the spiritual energy sealing point.
Dracula was so angry that he roared, his lips turning dark purple and his ears becoming pointed.
All of a sudden, the sea began to churn and then burst with a loud bang. The next moment, a huge black figure emerged from the churning water, opened its huge mouth, and swooped down toward the Vermilion Robe.
The moment the behemoth appeared, Bu Fang’s eyes lit up, while the others’ expressions changed dramatically.
“This… This giant whale…” The Great Wizard s.h.i.+vered and took a deep breath. His flowery green robe was shaking. “That’s… The G.o.d of Sea, Poseidon!”
Roaring, Susanoo raised his katana over his shoulder and brought it down hard. A terrifying sword light fell from the sky, tearing the air and forcing the giant whale back in an instant. However, he was also pushed flying backward by the force of the impact, and even his sword was knocked off his grip and fell into the distance.
“My Ten Katar Sword!” Susanoo’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned to look at the whale.
As it floated on the surface of the sea, water began to converge over the whale’s head and soon turned into a human figure. He was a very handsome man with blond hair, blue eyes, a body full of huge muscles, and a pair of large round earrings hanging from his earlobes. The moment he appeared, he smiled evilly.
“It’s not often you get the chance to be this lively at sea. With so many people here, how could I be left out?” Poseidon laughed loudly. With a shake of his hand, a golden trident appeared in his grasp.
‘The G.o.d of Sea?’ There was a curious look on Bu Fang’s face. He did not rush into action but watched with interest. ‘The aura of this G.o.d of Sea is very strong, the strongest among all the people here. In fact, he’s even stronger than that Susanoo… Oh, that Susanoo is the one who tried to kill me just now, right? So he is the G.o.d of Sakura Island and Yamata no Orochi’s master?’
Bu Fang raised his brows. He had no love for either the people or the G.o.ds of Sakura Island. Those fellows had better leave him alone, or else…
Suddenly, Poseidon turned his head to look into the distance. In that direction, a cloud was flying toward them, and on it stood an old man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat.
“An Earth Immortal of Hua!”
Poseidon’s expression became grave, while Susanoo raised his guard. With the arrival of more almighty experts, they had more compet.i.tors.
Patriarch Penglai, standing on the cloud, glanced around with indifferent eyes. His gaze lingered on Bu Fang for a while, as if he was wondering why there was a Hua guy here, and then it moved away and rested on the Vermilion Robe.
“Oh… I sense the aura of a Hua guy on this robe!” Patriarch Penglai laughed. His hand was still clutching the bamboo pole.
“Bah! You guys are so shameless! The treasure is for those who can get it! Whoever has the strength, it is his!” Count Dracula’s eyes were cold. The next moment, he turned into a pool of blood and flew toward the Vermilion Robe.
Susanoo reached out his hand. The Ten Katar Sword trembled in the distance, then flew back and fell into his grasp. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the others, but made no move.
The Great Wizard smiled and stepped back with a red face. Wizards’ offensive means were powerful, but their physical bodies were too weak. So, he would not be foolish enough to fight with this group of savage people. He needed to distance himself from them.
Glancing at Bu Fang, the old wizard said, “Little friend, you’re on your own… There are many G.o.ds here, so be careful and don’t get killed by them. If you are still alive after the dust settles, I hope to be able to taste your craft.”
With that, he waved the magic wand in his hand. A s.h.i.+eld suddenly appeared around him, then a gust of wind blew at it, pus.h.i.+ng it far away.
Patriarch Penglai also glanced at Bu Fang, but he quickly turned to look at his opponent.
At this moment, Dracula was already approaching the Vermilion Robe at a great speed. He was even about to extend his hand.
“What an impatient fellow…” Poseidon shook his head, then lifted the trident with one hand and pointed it sharply at Dracula. A column of water suddenly rose from the sea, and as it closed in on Dracula, it kept turning into ice. It was going to freeze the pool of blood that the vampire had turned into!
Count Dracula instantly reverted to his human form. He turned, and at once, countless bats flew out of his sleeves and began to gnaw at the ice column. For a moment, the air was filled with the sound of explosions!
Even then, Susanoo made his move. He swung his katana and unleashed a volley of crescent-shaped energy blasts at Dracula!
“Dammit! Trash from Sakura Island, do I have a grudge against you?!” Dracula’s eyes were turning red. He could not stand the fact that Susanoo was targeting him over and over again! With a wave of his hand, a swirling pool of blood flew out and collided with those energy blasts!
With a thunderous explosion, blood splattered everywhere. Dracula staggered back a few steps. For a moment, he felt his life as a vampire was approaching its end as he was jointly attacked by Poseidon and Susanoo.
In the distance, Patriarch Penglai smiled, his eyes narrowing slightly under the bamboo hat. The next moment, he flung out the bamboo pole and lashed Dracula’s body so hard that the vampire began to emit plumes of black smoke!
Bursting with rage, Dracula turned into a huge blood bat and flew off into the distance. In just the blink of an eye, four almighty Earth Immortal-level experts were locked together in a fierce battle.
The battle reached a white-hot stage in a flash. The air was filled with terrifying rumbling, and the energy fluctuations of the battle churned the sea, raising huge waves. These waves broke out of the spiritual energy sealing point and kept sweeping into the distance, making the sea b.u.mpy.
Even though the Jewel had sailed far away, the people onboard could still feel the violent movement of the water. The feeling made their flesh creep.
“This is a battle between G.o.ds!” Chief Luo swallowed. He was able to guess that the battle in the sealing point must have been terrifying.
“Amitabha! A battle of this magnitude is far beyond our ability to interfere.”
‘I wonder what Senior’s current situation is? Could he have been killed?’ thought Yu Ge. However, when he thought of Bu Fang’s mysterious abilities and unfathomable strength, he still felt that the likelihood of him being killed was very low.
…
At the moment, inside the spiritual energy sealing point…
After watching the battle for a while, Bu Fang twitched the corners of his mouth slightly. He landed on the surface of the sea, then walked step by step toward the Vermilion Robe. As wave after wave of water came sweeping toward him, he pressed on, his figure rising and falling with the movements of the waves. He was like a foam floating on the great ocean.
At last, after walking for some time, he came to the front of the Vermilion Robe. He glanced over his shoulder at the four men fighting fiercely against each other in the sky, then turned back, reached out a hand, and grabbed the robe.
The moment he touched the Vermilion Robe, Dracula, Poseidon, the Great Wizard, and Susanoo all sensed it. They turned their heads abruptly to look at him. In their shocked eyes…
The robe floated up, its hemline flapping noisily in the wind. With a soft sigh, an arm came out through its sleeve. Seemingly cheering, the robe wrapped itself around Bu Fang’s body, and the belt also tied itself into a beautiful bow.
Soon, the striped red-and-white Vermilion Robe was perfectly clad on Bu Fang’s body.
Dracula and the others were stunned. The next moment, their eyes turned red!
“Let go of that treasure!” Dracula hissed.
Patriarch Penglai’s expression became very strange. Holding the bamboo pole in his hands, he did not know what to say.
The G.o.d of Sea, Poseidon, furrowed his brows.
Susanoo’s eyes were filled with monstrous killing intent. With the Ten Katar Sword in hand, he shot toward Bu Fang, the blade glowing coldly.
“Fine, I’ll settle old grudges and news ones with you in one go! You killed my Yamata no Orochi, and now you want to take away my immortal robe? You can go to h.e.l.l now!”
As he closed in on Bu Fang, Susanoo roared, held his katana with both hands, raised it over his shoulders, and then brought it down with all his might. The sea burst in an instant, while a sword energy seemed to cut the whole sea into two and went straight at Bu Fang!
“Your immortal robe?” Bu Fang rubbed his head. When he let go of his hair, his short hair suddenly grew into long fluffy hair, falling to his waist and fluttering in the wind.
He squinted at Susanoo and said indifferently, “You’re really shameless. Your immortal robe? No, it’s not an immortal robe… It’s my chef’s robe.”
