Chapter 1656: Choose the Meatier One for Braised Meat
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A feast? What feast?
Yang Jian and Tongtian both looked confused, as if they could not understand what Bu Fang meant.
Where was the feast? All they saw were countless disgusting Soul Demons who blotted out the sky like a swarm of locusts.
Suddenly, the Sect Leader’s pupils constricted. ‘Does fellow Daoist Bu mean that the Soul Demons present are all food, just like Suiren’s… barbecue? Is he going to use them to cook some delicious dishes?’ If that is the case, I can only say… You’re so awesome, fellow Daoist Bu!’
As Bu Fang’s voice rang out, the whole place fell silent. These Soul Demons did not know him, but they could sense his aura, which was not as oppressive as that of Tongtian’s. It meant that this human was just an ordinary Immortal Emperor, or at most, a Saint-to-be.
There were four Soul Overlords present. The power possessed by the Soul Overlords of the Seven Sins could form different arrays, and they would not fail even when they did not come from the same Soul Demon Universe. It was because the arrays were carved at the depths of their souls, so they could use them when they met.
Even Tongtian, who was famous for his Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array, struggled in dealing with their arrays. Therefore, these Soul Demons did not view Bu Fang as a threat.
“You’re here to deliver us a feast, aren’t you?” Greed Soul Overlord guffawed. His body was all black, and his eyes were shot with blood. A red tongue fell out of his mouth, densely covered with b.u.mps that looked very disgusting.
Sloth Soul Overlord lay on his palanquin, unmoving.
The Kun Bird flapped its wings, sped through the sky at lightning speed, and came up to Yang Jian and Tongtian in just the blink of an eye. Bu Fang sat cross-legged on its back with a calm face. Behind him, Nethery was eating the aromatic Soul Overlord meat, while the Empyrean Fairy stood respectfully at his side.
Yang Jian was surprised. He knew the fairy’s temper. ‘I can’t believe she is so respectful to that evil man… Is there really something special about him?’
“Fellow Daoist Bu… There are too many Soul Demons. I’m afraid I’m the only Saint of the Great Path on the Ancestral Planet now. The other Saints are all in the Primitive Universe and cannot help us.”
Tongtian looked at those Soul Demons and felt his head ache a little. What vexed him was that there were just too many of them.
“Don’t worry, they’re just food. As Suiren said, there are no ingredients in the world that can’t be cooked into food, only chefs who can’t turn ingredients into food…” The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth curved upward slightly, and he added, ” In my eyes… these Soul Demons are all food ingredients.”
‘How domineering!’ This was the first time Yang Jian heard that, and he was stunned by it. ‘Why is he so aggressive? Among these Soul Demons, many of them are as strong as Immortal Emperors and Saints-to-be. There are even four existences that are on the same level as Saints of the Great Path. Even the Sect Leader is struggling to deal with them…
‘How could this evil man be so domineering and arrogant? Does he really have the skills, or is he just bluffing?’
“How do you cook Soul Overlord meat?” Tongtian asked, somewhat dumbfounded.
“Soul Overlord meat is more delicious. It is actually a top ingredient. As Soul Overlords, they are different from other Soul Demons. They have condensed fleshly bodies, so they are more suitable for cooking,” Bu Fang said.
Tongtian hovered over the sea, standing at the center of the array, while Bu Fang sat on the Kun Bird’s back, hovering in the sky. They talked heatedly as if they were discussing the Dao, but the Dao they were talking about was… food cooked with Soul Demon meat!
Yang Jian was dumbstruck. He only felt that these two fellows were too domineering.
As Bu Fang continued to explain to Tongtian, he got so excited that he waved his hand and pulled the grilled Soul Overlord meat that Nethery was in the middle of eating over to him.
“Look, this is how we can cook Soul Overlord meat…”
Tongtian narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at it. The grilled meat was shrouded in spiritual energy and appeared exactly like a delicious dish cooked with a top ingredient.
“Before coming here, I’ve killed a… Rage Soul Overlord and cooked him into grilled meat,” Bu Fang said.
Behind Bu Fang, Nethery pursed her lips and stared angrily at him. How could he take away her barbecue? Was he trying to pick a fight?
The pupils of all Soul Demons constricted. They naturally recognized Rage Soul Overlord’s power of Sin on the grilled meat. They sucked in their breath. It seemed that Rage Soul Overlord was truly… killed by this human! It had always been Soul Demons who ate humans, not the other way around! This was simply… unacceptable!
“What a bold human… How dare you kill and eat a Soul Overlord… You deserve death! I will definitely cut you into pieces!”
Greed Soul Overlord flew into a rage. His aura exploded out, and monstrous waves immediately towered into the sky, sweeping up fish and prawns in the sea and grinding them to pieces.
Countless Soul Demons roared and hissed, their voices joining together into a deafening noise that shook heaven and earth.
Yang Jian turned pale when he heard that, and the Empyrean Fairy’s pupils constricted. It was quite terrible. There were just too many Soul Demons. They could imagine that half of the Soul Demons who invaded the Ancestral Planet must have gathered over this ocean right now.
The four Soul Overlords, together with many Numbered Soul Demons and countless Soul Demons, were enough to exhaust a Saint of the Great Path to death!
…
Meanwhile, on the top of Kunlun Mountain…
The Queen Mother of the West sat at the head of the great hall, and under her were many Immortals. Their eyes were all fixed on the round mirror at the center of the great hall, which was showing the image over the ocean. In it, Tongtian was confronting countless Soul Demons.
They also saw Bu Fang, and they exchanged glances. Then, at the sight of the four Saint-level Soul Overlords, the Immortals present turned pale and lost their confidence. How could they fight against such forces?
On the Ancestral Planet, they only had one Saint of the Great Path who had just made the breakthrough, Tongtian. The Soul Demons, on the other hand, had four… In other words, mankind was outnumbered in terms of top fighting forces! It was simply a hopeless situation!
“Your Highness, what should we do if that evil man falls in this battle?” the old Immortal with a white beard asked suddenly, bowing at the Queen Mother.
“If that evil man is killed in the battle, we’ll take back the shop…” the Queen Mother said, her eyes flas.h.i.+ng. “He had made us submit by force. If he dies, we won’t have to bear the pressure from him anymore… And we’ll naturally take back the shop.”
The Immortals present all nodded.
“However, with the demons wreaking havoc now, we can’t think like that. If this evil man can eliminate the demons, it will be a great virtue,” said the Queen Mother.
The Immortals took deep breaths and nodded, then turned to look at the mirror. The evil man’s strength was strong, but they did not think that he could deal with four Soul Overlords. Although he had killed one before this, they thought he must have used up all his tricks…
…
A fighter jet was flying in the sky over the ocean. It was the latest stealth fighter jet invented by the United States. Hovering ten thousand meters above the ground, it could not be detected by most of the superhumans.
At the same time, countless people were working in the main command room in the United States. When the screen in the room showed the countless Soul Demons, the people present all turned pale. The image then changed to the command rooms of different countries, showing the pale faces of the personnel.
“There are too many demons…”
The personnel of different countries, including Hua and the United States, were despairing.
“General Witt, launch that destructive weapon… Eliminate these demons. Once they spread all over the world, it will be a disaster for Earth.”
The heads of different countries were watching the battle. When the camera zoomed, they saw the five figures standing in the middle of the countless demons. However, everyone was silent. No one thought that these five people could fight against millions of demons, not to mention that there were more terrifying existences among them.
They would never forget the scene of a G.o.d being easily torn apart by a demon. The impact of that on them was too great. To Earth, the recovery of spiritual energy was a great tide, but it was also a dark disaster.
In the command room, everyone was waiting for the general to give the order. With so many Soul Demons gathered in one place, if they released the strongest weapon, they were confident that they could eliminate countless demons.
Of course, it would also cause serious damage to Earth, and it might take hundreds of years to recover. The cost was simply too huge, so the general was hesitating.
“Let’s wait for a little longer… Pay attention to the screen at all times. If I remember correctly, those five people should be the Immortals of Hua… Of all the G.o.ds and Immortals in the world, Hua Immortals are the strongest. Let’s see if they could bring us a miracle…” said General Witt.
It was a decision he did not dare to make lightly. If he gave the order, he could stand condemned through the ages.
The order did not come. Countless cameras were turning, locking on the scene over the vast ocean.
Earth was in great turmoil at the moment. Many villages and towns had been abandoned, and people were hiding in major cities. The screens in these cities were broadcasting the battle as well, so almost all the people around the world were watching it.
This was a battle that would decide the fate of people all over the world.
…
Chief Luo and Xiao Ai looked wretched at the moment. The chief was seriously injured, wrapped in bandages that were soaked with blood.
“Chief, look! That’s Senior!”
Xiao Ai’s face was dirty. After fighting with the Soul Demon army for a day and a night, the superhuman army was extremely tired and had suffered heavy casualties. However, at midnight, the Soul Demons retreated, allowing them to have a breather.
It turned out that the Soul Demons had all gathered over the ocean to fight Bu Fang!
“The demons are too strong… Earth can only rely on Senior now…”
Chief Luo had long since lost his high spirits. It was only when facing true terror that they would feel how insignificant they were. The demons that could destroy a city with a palm strike were simply existences they could not fight against. If the Immortals of Penglai had not taken part in the battle, Hua would have fallen.
At this moment, the whole nation of Hua, as well as the survivors around the globe, were watching the battle with hopeful eyes. It was a lopsided battle—five people were fighting millions of Soul Demons. It was a battle that was almost impossible to win…
…
In the heart of the Pacific Ocean, the Soul Demons moved. Countless Soul Demons roared as they charged frantically toward Bu Fang, Tongtian, and the others.
“Kill them!” the Sect Leader bellowed, focusing his eyes. Suddenly, the four immortal swords floated up. Their terrifying sword energy formed a huge sphere that wrapped the five people in the center.
The evil Soul Demons banged against the sword array, but they were instantly cut into pieces and fell to the ocean, stacking up layer upon layer. Even so, they kept charging toward it desperately. When one was killed, another took his place, and when this one was killed, another one came forward…
Meanwhile, those chunks of flesh floating on the ocean soon turned into black b.a.l.l.s, in which new Soul Demons were being bred.
The four Soul Overlords watched with a cold smile from afar.
“How dare you treat Soul Demons as food? You will die in fear! Fear will make your flesh and blood more and more palatable!” Greed Soul Overlord said, licking his lips with his long tongue.
Yang Jian’s face was a little unsightly. “Too many… There are just too many Soul Demons…”
Tongtian was frowning as well. Even though he was a Saint of the Great Path and his energy was endless, he felt that his body was almost emptied. If this continued, he would soon die of exhaustion. What should he do?
“The way you are killing them is… too slow.”
Suddenly, Bu Fang’s faint voice echoed out. The Sect Leader and Yang Jian paused.
“What do you mean by that… Fellow Daoist Bu?” Tongtian asked, puzzled.
“Open a hole… I’ll show you how to eliminate Soul Demons. My stinky tofu is the simplest and most brutal way to deal with them,” Bu Fang said.
“Stinky Tofu?”
Tongtian and Yang Jian looked at each other. They had no idea what treasure that was. However, the Sect Leader still opened a hole in the sword array as he was told.
The moment the hole appeared, countless Soul Demons began to frantically squeeze through it.
“Hurry up! Stop them!”
Yang Jian’s expression changed dramatically. At the moment, people around the globe watching the battle turned deathly pale.
Suddenly, a black wok appeared, flew upward, and smashed countless Soul Demons into blood and gore in an instant.
“Hey… You guys discuss among yourselves what kind of cooking method should be used for this next Soul Overlord. Should it be braised or stir-fried?” Bu Fang said lightly as he stood up on the Kun Bird’s back.
Then, he put his hands behind him, walked out from the Kun Bird’s back, and headed toward the hole, facing millions of Soul Demons alone. In front of him, the Black Turtle Constellation Wok spun. Suddenly, a striped gold-and-black stinky tofu floated out of it, expanded, and grew as huge as a skysc.r.a.per in a flash.
Bu Fang glanced over his shoulder at Yang Jian and Tongtian, who appeared to be dumbstruck, and twitched the corner of his mouth. “Since you didn’t say anything, I’ll take it that you want it braised…” he said.
After saying that, he lifted his palm and slapped the enormous stinky tofu. With a thud, it broke into countless tiny pieces and shot out in all directions. Soon, countless Soul Demons began to burn as soon as they were touched by the stinky tofu.
All of a sudden, an oppressive rumble rang out. Sloth Soul Overlord, lying on his palanquin, froze. The next moment, a black wok smashed him and knocked him into the ocean.
Bu Fang hovered in midair with his hands behind him, his body glowing with a faint golden light.
“Hmm… Since they want it braised, I’ll choose you because you have the most meat.”
