1198 When I Return, It Will Be the Time to Kill You

'What's Nethery trying to do? Why is she standing at the front of the ship? Is she trying to stop the four Judges alone?'

Bu Fang furrowed his eyebrows. He felt something was not right.

In contrast to Bu Fang's doubtful look, Realm Lord Di Tai and Meng Qi looked desperate.

They didn't think that it was possible for Nethery to stop four Judges. Although her strength had improved, she was not even a half-step Saint. In the face of the four Abyss Judges, she was like an ant who they could kill in an instant. They were simply not on the same level.

Nethery was not a fool, and she should know that. No matter what she was going to do, she couldn't change anything.

"GET LOST!"

Nethery's eyes were completely black, and her hair waved gracefully. Her beautiful face looked somewhat ferocious.

The next moment, a dazzling turquoise beam of light rose from her body. Then, she leaped into the void and floated in front of the Netherworld Ship. Her aura kept compacting and increasing, and soon, it reached an extremely terrifying level.

Bu Fang felt it was hard to breathe. He raised a hand. An array emerged on his finger, and then he pointed it at his brow. After that, his eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Nethery. What he saw made him suck in a cold breath. He finally figured out what Nethery was trying to do. This woman was indeed... crazy!

The turquoise cursed snake in Nethery had awakened! 

The snakes slithered around her body, tangled her limbs, and made her float, while lines of turquoise curses seeped into her body, giving her a devilish look.

'She awakened the cursed snake?!' Bu Fang felt a headache. 'She's giving me trouble!'

Nethery felt her power kept soaring.

How strong was the cursed snake? A curse that couldn't be lifted by the existence of the God Vanishing Mountain together with the Spring of Life was naturally... extraordinary.

Although it kept torturing and corroding her body, as long as she was willing to borrow its power, Nethery could explode with very terrible power.

This time, she was going to borrow the cursed snake's power. Of course, it was like asking a tiger for its skin, and it was very likely that she would be completely devoured by the curse, losing her consciousness and becoming the cursed snake's puppet. It would hasten the eruption of the curse!

Bu Fang narrowed his eyes and spread his flaming wings. He couldn't let her do that. 

He suddenly thought of something. He turned to Realm Lord Di Tai and Meng Qi and said, "You two go to the Abyss first. Nethery and I will be there later. Don't be late for the Qilin Chef Feast." 

When he had finished, he flew into the void, accompanied by a bird cry.

Realm Lord Di Tai and Meng Qi paused for a moment, then exchanged a glance.

The realm lord gave Bu Fang a deep look. There was an indescribable gleam flickering in his eyes. After that, he turned and jumped out of the Netherworld Ship. With a thought, he produced a pot, which expanded and carried both of them before speeding away.

They could already see the faint outline of a reversed cone-shaped island in the distance.

The four judges paid no mind to Realm Lord Di Tai and Meng Qi, who had left the scene. Their eyes were fixed at the woman not far in front of them. The aura exploded out of her, frightening even them.

It was unbelievable because, in their perceptions, her cultivation base was as weak as that of an ant. How could such a cultivation base frighten them? There must be something amiss.

"Let's go... There's no time to waste. After finishing these weaklings, we need to go to the Abyss to carry out the most important part of the plan... This time, the Abyss will rise!" a Judge said coldly.

The next moment, one of the Judges shot forward, while four sickles thrust toward Nethery as if they were going to cut her in half.

Nethery floated in the void, surrounded by an invisible force.

Bu Fang flew over, frowning, but when he tried to approach her, he was pushed away by some force.

"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow. The next moment, his eyes narrowed. He saw Nethery throw her head back, her hair turning into turquoise at a speed visible to the naked eyes. There was something terrible about the color that made his heart tremble.

"Reckless!" Bu Fang said under his breath. 

His spirit sea began to surge. Stepping in the void, he produced the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, the White Tiger Heaven Stove, and the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, while various food ingredients emerged and floated around him. He grabbed the kitchen knife, spun it, cut all the ingredients with the Overlord Thirteen Blades knife technique, and placed them neatly on the stove.

Nethery paid Bu Fang no mind. Her eyes were closed, and her whole body seemed to be changing. After her hair was completely turquoise, she opened her eyes. The white of her eyes was black, but her pupils had turned turquoise, looking extremely devilish. In addition, her fingernails were sharp and long.

Looking at the four blood-colored sickles that were approaching her, Nethery let out a sharp whistle through her black lips. It sounded like the noise made by scraping granite with a sharp sword, giving goosebumps to those who heard it.

"Die!" cried a Judge as his eyes grew wide.

In the boundless void, a turquoise glow flashed. Nethery's figure disappeared from where she stood as if she had been teleported away. When she appeared again, she was in front of a sickle, slapping it with a palm.

With a rumble, the sickle was knocked flying backward, while a layer of dark green energy kept corroding its surface.

A burst of terrible pressure suddenly spread. A turquoise snake emerged behind Nethery. It seemed to pierce heaven and earth, its tongue darting in and out as if it was the embodiment of endless disasters. 

A Judge grabbed the sickle. When he saw the dark green glow on it, his expression changed drastically. "This is... a curse?!"

Nethery's turquoise hair fluttered, and she clawed the void in front of her with both hands, throwing herself ahead like a missile. Like a savage beast, she dashed in front of the Judge and slapped his sickle with a palm.

BOOM!!!

With a crack, the sickle, which had been corroded by the dark green curse, broke into pieces.

All four Judges gasped at the same time, shocked by the curse's terrible power.

"Spread out! Don't get touched by the curse!"

They quickly spread out, then surrounded her from a distance.

Nethery was expressionless. She moved again, leaving only a turquoise shadow behind, and when she reappeared, she was swooping down at the Judge who had lost his sickle.

"Get lost!" the Judge bellowed. His blood-colored robe fluttered, and a blood-colored fire burst out of his body. In a flash, his aura soared, and he grew taller like a giant. Then, he threw a punch at Nethery.

BOOM!

The fist and the claw crashed into each other. Nethery was knocked flying backward, falling next to Bu Fang.

At this moment, Bu Fang was tossing his wok expressionlessly. A rich fragrance was rising from the wok. He had dumped many rare and precious ingredients into it, including crystal fruits of life and Crystal Source Purple Essence. A vast amount of energy was boiling inside!

"My hand... Damn it! The curse!" The Judge who exchanged a blow with Nethery was shocked and infuriated when he noticed that his arm had turned turquoise, and the color was spreading toward his body. Without hesitation, he cut away the arm, which rotted instantly and fell from the boundless void.

The Judges gasped. They were Little Saints, and yet the curse could make their flesh rot instantly. They wondered what kind of existence was this woman, and why was her power so terrifying?

"Retreat! This woman is a poisonous thing. We'll die if we touch her!"

The four Judges exchanged glances and had decided to leave.

However, after Nethery regained her balance, her eyes shone even brighter, and she threw a palm at them. Tiny turquoise snakes crawled out of her palm and darted toward them.

The attack filled the four Judges with fear.

"Form an array! Let's fight her with all our might! This curse... Could this woman be..."

There was a look of disbelief in their eyes. Floating in four corners in the void, they raised their palms. Blood-colored glows burst from their bodies, merged, and turned into a scary-looking figure. As soon as it took shape, the blood-colored figure raised its palm to meet Nethery's turquoise palm.

The collision produced a terrible explosion.

Blood sprayed out from Nethery's mouth. The cursed snake on her body disappeared, and she fell back with all strength leaving her.

Buzz...

At this moment, Bu Fang had finished cooking. A bowl of dish that glinted like glass hovered over his hand. He put away the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, the White Tiger Heaven Stove, and the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife. After that, he flapped his wings and came next to Nethery, helping her up with one hand.

Nethery closed her eyes and furrowed her eyebrows. She could feel an indescribable burst of pain all over her body, which seemed to be squeezing into her bones. Although the cursed snake had disappeared, the eruption this time had caused the curse in her to completely break out of control.

The four Judges' faces were pale, their eyes filled with shock and fear. When they lifted their hands, they saw a touch of turquoise begin to slowly spread from their fingertips.

"What a terrible curse... Could she be a Cursed Goddess born with the Source of Curses?!" a Judge said shockingly. He was a Four-revolution Little Saint, but even his flesh couldn't stop the curse.

A Cursed Goddess? The source of disasters that could destroy the whole world?

"Impossible! How could there be a Cursed Goddess in this world?! No matter what, we must kill her before she grows up!" another Judge said coldly. A horrible aura exploded out of him as a blood-colored glow covered his body, turning him into a blood-red shadow. Then, he charged toward Nethery and threw a palm at her. He was going to kill her with a slap!

"DIE NOW!"

Bu Fang narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled.

"Scram!" With Nethery in his arms, Bu Fang turned and met the Judge's palm with his bandaged hand. Taotie's roar rang out, and then faded away.

BOOM!!!

Terrible blasts swept out in all directions. The air rang with the sonorous cries of his Vermillion Chef Robe as it enveloped him with the invincible glow. 

With Nethery in his arms, Bu Fang was knocked flying away like a missile, shooting toward the bottom of the boundless void.

Bu Fang's eyes were extremely calm. He had borrowed the force that came with the palm to flee. Slowly, he turned around. 

The velvet rope that tied his hair had broken, causing his hair to wave messily. His face was expressionless and somewhat indifferent as he stared at the four Judges, who floated in the void and growing smaller and smaller.

"I'll remember what you did to us this time. When I return, it will be the time to kill you!"

His cold eyes fixed at the four Judges as he swore.

That made them feel pins and needles in their scalps.

Bu Fang held Nethery in one hand and the dish in the other. His Vermillion Chef Robe flapped as his black hair and her turquoise hair tangled with each other. Suddenly, they slammed into a stream of turbulence, which gradually devoured them. Until the last moment when they disappeared into the turbulence, Bu Fang's eyes were still fixed on the four Judges.

Darkness washed over them and turned everything black.

At this moment, the system's serious voice suddenly sounded in Bu Fang's mind!
