Nethery froze, while Foxy, curled up in her arms, squeaked with her hair bristled! Bu Fang's attack was out of their expectation. However, when the divine will hit them, it felt as if a wind was caressing their faces. It did not cause them any harm.
Suddenly, a loud rumble rang out behind them. It was then that Nethery realized what happened. Her eyes turned black in an instant, and she disappeared and reappeared behind Bu Fang, facing the figure with him.
The aura emanating from the burly figure was as hot as that of an oven. When Bu Fang looked at him, he found him somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where they met before.
With a bizarre smile on his face, the man stared at Bu Fang, making his hair stand on end. In fact, Ah Zhuang was mainly looking at Nethery. It was as though he had found some prey. When the divine will hit him, it did not make him move back a bit, and his body did not sway at all.
"Interesting… Interesting…" Ah Zhuang parted his lips as he looked at Nethery. There seemed to be a strange look flashing in his eyes. "I never thought that a Cursed Goddess would exist in such a remote area… especially one who has perfectly fused the curse power with the flesh…"
The strange look in Ah Zhuang's eyes grew stronger and stronger. He clasped his hands behind his back, causing the muscles on his arms to bulge, and slowly paced back and forth. He was calm and not at all worried about Bu Fang and Nethery hurting him.
"Are you the one who… exterminated the Nether Chef Clan?" Bu Fang took a deep breath and asked, his face cold and his brows furrowed.
Ah Zhuang's eyes focused instantly, then he gave Bu Fang an indifferent look. "The Nether Chef Clan is… a bunch of worshipers who have betrayed me. Death is the best destination for them."
The smile on Ah Zhuang's face was still so cold and emotionless. When he said that, he was calm as if exterminating the Nether Chef Clan was no different from killing a colony of ants.
"As for you… You have an aura that interests me. It seems quite familiar…" Ah Zhuang smacked his lips, squinting at Bu Fang.
Bu Fang arched his brows. The next moment, his pupils constricted because Ah Zhaung moved.
With a rumble, Ah Zhuang vanished from where he was. When he reappeared, he was already beside Nethery, thrusting a hand at her. He wanted to capture her.
"A Cursed Goddess perfectly fused with the curse power is an excellent vessel and hard to find! Since I've run into one today… I can't let you go!"
Ah Zhuang laughed as his palm went to grab Nethery.
At that moment, Nethery sensed a terrible power, which made her tense up and freeze on the spot. It was an extremely strange feeling!
"Scram." In the face of Ah Zhuang's palm, Bu Fang only uttered a single word. Then, he unleashed his Taotie Arm and threw it at Ah Zhuang as the Yin and Yang energy swirled around it.
Boom!
The fist and the palm collided. Ah Zhuang's body did not budge, but Bu Fang moved back several steps. His Taotie Arm seemed to have smashed a mountain; not only did he fail to shake it, but his arm was also numbed by the counterforce.
Bu Fang's pupils constricted. 'How could this guy be so strong?!' At this moment, he recalled who this burly man was. As someone who possessed divine will, Bu Fang had an excellent memory. He remembered that this was the guy who fled Alpha's warship on a dragon when the Demigod was defeated. But… something was amiss!
Bu Fang took a deep breath. 'I remember that he's just a Great Saint at that time… Why did my punch fail to hurt him? Also, if he's the same guy who fled Alpha's warship, why would he want to exterminate the Nether Chef Clan?'
All these did not make sense to him! They were just too strange!
"Weak… You are too weak…" Ah Zhuang said with a faint smile. "It's rare that a Cursed Goddess delivers herself to me. Well, since you are here, you don't have to leave anymore!"
Ah Zhuang roared as his aura exploded out of his body and began to climb rapidly. The next moment, a stream of strange energy flowed out of him. Those were strange runes, which seemed to be born from the void.
They were the Runes of Law! Bu Fang recognized them at a glance! 'Had this guy grasped the Power of the Law?! Is he a Demigod? Or a God?!' Bu Fang sucked in a cold breath. He never knew there was such an existence in Nether Prison!
Without hesitation, he produced the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife. In the face of an existence who had grasped the Power of the Law, no matter if he was a God or a Demigod, Bu Fang did not dare to be careless. After all, the Power of the Law was beyond the Will of the Great Path.
"A kitchen knife? So you are also a chef? No wonder I sensed a familiar aura in you… Chefs are the loveliest existences in the world! Do you want to fight me in a Chef's Challenge?" Ah Zhuang grinned, then he raised a hand, pointed it at Bu Fang, and opened his fingers.
Rumble!
Bu Fang's pupils constricted in an instant as he found that the ground around him exploded. Columns of fire burst out of it and turned into flaming dragons, wheeling in midair. These dragons were dark green and extremely grim. It was as if they contained great terror.
Under the control of Ah Zhuang's divine sense, the flaming dragons rose into the sky, roared, and came rushing down crazily toward Bu Fang.
Bu Fang snapped his finger at once. A white flame immediately emerged around him, swept out in all directions, and blocked the flaming dragons. The dark green flame and the white flame collided, and they seemed to be devouring each other.
Bu Fang exercised his divine will to the maximum. The white flame roared as it tried its best to block the burning of the flaming dragons. At the same time, a sizzling sound filled the air as the nearby rocks began to melt and incinerate by the intense heat.
Nethery and Foxy also unleashed their power to protect themselves. It never occurred to them that they would meet a Demigod here. How were they going to fight such a formidable enemy unless Lord Dog showed up?
Ah Zhuang laughed triumphantly, and he stared at Nethery with greed in his eyes. "A Cursed Goddess… You will be worth more if you have comprehended the Law of Curse." But that did not matter. As long as he subdued her and spent some time teaching her, it would be easy for her to comprehend that. After all, he was the mighty God of Chef's Challenge!
Bu Fang's white flames kept being suppressed, and soon, they shrank to about an inch from his body. The flaming dragons were too terrible, and the temperature of their fire was incredibly high. Obviously, it was not a fire from this world.
Ah Zhuang was smiling scornfully, and he decided to not waste any more time with Bu Fang. He moved and disappeared from where he was in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already beside Nethery. The next moment, his divine sense poured out. A rumbling sound rang out, and the flames flickered, then Nethery and Bu Fang were separated, each trapped by a different fire cage.
Ah Zhuang slowly walked toward Nethery.
Nethery's black hair fluttered in the wind. The next moment, she bolted backward.
Ah Zhuang just looked at her with a teasing smile. Although this body did not belong to him, as the mighty God of Chef's Challenge, he could still unleash fearsome strength even when he possessed an ordinary fleshly body. Besides, he was dealing with just two… Great Saints.
Bu Fang, surrounded by flaming dragons, looked coldly at Ah Zhuang. He did not expect that this guy's target was actually Nethery. How could he stand this?
There was a hint of turquoise in Nethery's eyes, and her aura was spreading. Then, with a hissing sound, a turquoise cursed snake appeared and coiled around her. Its eyes were bright, and its forked tongue was sticking out as it made a silent growl at Ah Zhuang.
The next moment, the cursed snake darted forward, slithering across the air like a flood dragon.
"The curse power that has not yet become the Law is useless against me."
Ah Zhuang was very confident. He flicked his finger. A turquoise Power of the Law gathered and swirled over his palm, and then it shot out in a flash, melting the cursed snake like snow.
Nethery's face turned pale in an instant. The completely irresistible force made her feel a little despair, and it made her feel as if she was facing a God. Was the man in front of her a God? Since when have there been so many Gods in the Netherworld?
At this moment, Foxy stood up in her arms and bared her teeth fiercely. Then, she opened her mouth, in which dazzling light and powerful energy began to gather.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
One enhanced Explosive Meatballs after another burst out of her mouth and shot toward Ah Zhuang like meteorites. However, even though every meatball hit him and exploded, none of them had caused him any harm. He did not even raise his hand to block them.
"Are you tickling me?" Ah Zhuang smiled faintly. "This little fox… is perfect for a red-braised dish."
No sooner had he said that than he drew near and raised a hand. A burst of terrible pressure immediately exploded out of him and came crashing down.
Nethery grunted, and her face grew paler. In her arms, Foxy was frozen all over while a meatball was stuck in her throat. She could not get it out no matter how hard she tried.
Grinning, Ah Zhuang reached out a palm toward Nethery as he approached. He was going to take her away.
In the distance, Bu Fang, enveloped by the flaming dragons, flew into a rage, and a fierce look filled his eyes. Suddenly, monstrous waves rose in his spirit sea and exploded in the next moment. There was a flash of gold in his eyes as he crushed a pale golden divine power liquid drop over the God of Cooking's Menu.
A tremendous amount of energy immediately scattered and enveloped Bu Fang. He exhaled softly. Then, with a rumbling sound, the flaming dragons shattered and faded away.
"Oh?" In the distance, Ah Zhuang, who was reaching a hand toward Nethery, froze in an instant. His pupils constricted slightly, and he turned his head slowly to look in Bu Fang's direction.
However, before he could turn his head, he found that his arm was grabbed by a fair palm with slim fingers and popping blue veins. He felt incredulous. How could a Great Saint break free of his flaming dragons? They contained the Power of the Law!
Ah Zhuang rested his eyes on the lean figure in front of him. The latter slowly raised his head. His eyes were cold, his face was expressionless, and his body emanated golden energy.
Ah Zhuang's pupils constricted as stormy waves raged in his heart. "This kind of power…" He looked at Bu Fang with a face full of horror and disbelief. "How could you possibly control such divine power?!" He growled, and his face seemed somewhat twisted.
Bu Fang looked indifferently at him, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward. "Why can't I control this kind of power?" he said lightly.
His voice had just faded away when the Yin and Yang energy began to swirl around his Taotie Arm. Then, his fist smashed Ah Zhuang in the face. A loud boom rang out, and Ah Zhuang's face sank deep under the punch!
