“Let’s capture one alive.”
Bu Fang was calm and sounded normal when he said that, as if he was talking about having a meal with a friend.
Yang Jian smiled. He admired Bu Fang’s confidence. Ju Mang, on the other hand, sucked in a cold breath and thought, ‘What a domineering chef… Does he know that True Lord Erlang’s request is to capture a top Soul Overlord alive and not to kill one? This requires more than just great strength to achieve!’
The Celestial Court was located in the Ninth Heaven, hidden in the clouds and stretched as far as the eye could see. At this moment, Yang Jian was already fully armored. Holding the three-pronged halberd, his aura towered into the sky, and his third eye gleamed.
He was standing on an auspicious cloud, and behind him were the Celestial Court’s guards, their surging aura filling the sky. Bu Fang was with the army.
Outside the Celestial Court, plumes of scary-looking black smoke billowed and rushed into the sky. A horde of Soul Demons was rolling across the void, emanating an alarming aura that threatened to destroy heaven and earth. The aura of their leaders—yes, not just one this time—shocked their opponents.
Yang Jian’s face was grave. “Just as I’ve predicted… The Soul Demons that come to attack us this time are stronger!” he said in a serious voice.
He was a Saint of the Great Path, and together with Howling Celestial Dog, they could fight a top Saint of the Great Path. But if he were to face a Chaotic Saint, he would be crushed.
If he had not met Bu Fang, Yang Jian would have had a headache to solve this problem. The experts at the front would suffer an unimaginable blow if the Celestial Court fell to the enemy’s hand. Earlier, Ju Mang had said that before they came to the Celestial Court, Bu Fang had eliminated many Soul overlords. That gave Yang Jian hope.
The guards of the Celestial Court all looked solemnly at the Soul Demons who were emitting monstrous black smoke. There were not many of them, but their aura was too strong. At the head of the group were five top Soul Overlords, each of whom made the guards tremble.
This was going to be a tough battle, and probably a desperate one. Lately, countless guards had been injured or killed in battles with Soul Demons. If it had not been for Yang Jian, they might have been defeated.
“Five top Soul Overlords…” Bu Fang narrowed his eyes slightly and said with emotion. If truth be told, he was not sure that he could capture one of them alive, even with the help of Foxy and Whitey.
Ju Mang, on the other hand, shuddered and thought, ‘They’re the top Soul Overlords who have sneaked into the Primitive Universe… I can’t believe they’ve joined forces and come together to attack the Celestial Court! Is something major going to happen? What is their purpose?’
Black smoke rolled across the sky as if it had turned into an ocean full of sinful power, while evil laughter resounded through the clouds and spread everywhere. With a rumbling sound, five huge ferocious monsters appeared in midair, followed by thousands of Soul Demons.
“Let’s fight! Let’s defend the Primitive Universe together!” Yang Jian shouted out loud, his third eyes bursting with dazzling light. “Owner Bu… I’m counting on you,” he said seriously, turning to look at Bu Fang.
The next moment, his whole body erupted into a blinding light, then turned into a stream of light and rushed toward the horde of Soul Demons with the black dog. He landed among them with an explosion and began swinging his halberd, killing one foe after another. It was a battle of unequal strength.
Ju Mang also joined the battle, fighting beside the other guards against the Soul Demons.
The Celestial Court, after all, was not Void City. Its overall strength was much weaker than the latter. Although the guards were not weak, some of their opponents were Soul Overlords and some were even top Numbered Soul Demons. Naturally, they were at a disadvantage from the beginning.
Soon, a gaping hole was torn open in the Celestial Court’s defense by the Soul Demons.
Bu Fang took a deep breath, his Vermilion robe waving in the wind. “It’s our turn to fight,” he said lightly. It was no small challenge for him to capture a top Soul Overlord. After all, he had never done such a thing before.
Foxy squinted—her eyes were full of fury. At the same time, Whitey, its purple eyes rolling, turned into a flash of white light and sped toward the five top Soul Overlords. It was so aggressive that it flew right in front of two and began to pummel them. A fierce battle broke out instantly!
Foxy’s fighting prowess was not weak either. After all, she was Heavengod Destruction. Very quickly, she had suppressed the other two top Soul Overlords with a barrage of explosive meatballs!
With Whitey and Foxy each holding down two Soul Overlords, it was up to Bu Fang to deal with the last one. He was a huge Soul Demon that looked like a rhinoceros. He had a sharp horn on his forehead, and a horrible sinful aura emanated from him and filled the entire sky.
“It’s you! That damned chef!” The Soul Overlord recognized Bu Fang and let out an angry hiss.
Bu Fang paused for a brief moment, then kept moving in the sky. ‘If I’m going to catch a Soul Overlord alive, normal methods can’t be used.’ He narrowed his eyes. ‘Perhaps I can capture them with food?’
He smiled faintly, thinking that this seemed like a good idea. Capturing a Soul Overlord with food was the easiest and what he was best at. ‘Well, I’d better kill one first. I need some ingredients,’ Bu Fang thought to himself.
With a thought in his mind, golden light began to gather in his hand. At the same time, a dreadful aura exploded out, sweeping across the entire sky. It was the aura of the Chaos Pot.
The Chaos Pot was Bu Fang’s strongest attack. Even a Great Soul Overlord could not withstand its power, let alone a top Soul Overlord. Everyone on the battlefield felt their hearts skip a beat when Bu Fang took out the Chaos Pot. The Soul Demons and the guards both turned to look at him in horror.
‘What is that thing?!’ Yang Jian screamed in his head. ‘That horrible energy… the violent power that seems to have fused with the Essence of Heaven and Earth… Will the Celestial Court be blown to pieces once it explodes?!’ His expression changed dramatically, and he shouted, “Owner Bu!”
Bu Gang glanced at him and nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control,” he said.
Yang Jian’s forehead was beaded with sweat. He wielded his halberd and cut a Soul Demon in half. ‘Let’s hope he really has it under control!’
What were the Soul Demons up to? They did not know, and that was not a good thing. So Yang Jian needed to capture a Soul Overlord alive to find out what they were plotting.
Bu Fang kept moving in the sky. The huge rhino seemed frightened and was turning to flee. The sense of crisis given to him by the Chaos Pot was too strong, so much so that he simply did not dare to attack. However, it was too late to escape now.
With a flick of his finger, Bu Fang sent out the Chaos Pot. It sped away, cutting through the air with a dazzling light before smashing the top Soul Overlord. At this moment, the world became completely quiet.
The next moment, a terrifying explosion erupted. The shocking power of the Chaos Pot struck the giant rhinoceros and seriously injured him, while the oppressive aura inside the pot kept sweeping in all directions, knocking countless Soul Demons off their feet.
All the people on the battlefield, both the Soul Demons and the guards, were extremely shocked. What kind of means was this? Why was it so powerful? This was already close to the full-power attack of a Primitive Universe’s almighty expert!
Yang Jian was dumbfounded, while the Celestial Hound was so frightened that it tucked its tail between its legs. “Didn’t he say he had it under control? This is called under control?” The corner of Yang Jian’s mouth twitched. He knew Bu Fang’s words could not be trusted.
The Soul Overlord was defeated by Bu Fang with just one blow and turned into a corpse floating in the sky. The moment his true form emerged from his body, it was swallowed by Qilin inside Bu Fang.
Bu Fang contained the blasts of the explosion, so they did not accidentally injure anyone. With his current strength, he was barely able to control the power of the Chaos Pot. Looking at the huge dead rhino, he took out the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife and quickly cut it up.
After cleaning the knife, Bu Fang chose the fattest piece of meat and was ready to start cooking. If he wanted to capture a Soul Overlord alive, he had to use gourmet food. Of all the Gourmet Arrays he knew, one was called Imprison. Although the effect of the Gourmet Arrays was not as powerful as they used to be, they were still somewhat useful in this case.
The meat was cut into thin slices. They were transparent as if they were paper, with the patterns of the meat clearly visible.
Bu Fang shook his hand, turned the kitchen knife, and stacked the slices of meat together so that they looked like a flower. Then, he took out a Death Spicy Strip, cut it into tiny pieces, and put it into the wok with the sliced meat. After frying them, he scooped the ingredients out of the oil, drained them, and stacked them together.
He took out a small jar, held it with one hand, and tapped it rhythmically with the other. Spice powder sprinkled out of it and covered the meat slices, giving them a dreamy look.
After putting the jar away, Bu Fang held up a finger, and the crimson divine flame immediately appeared on the fingertip. With a flick of the finger, he sent the flame into the dish. A loud boom rang out, and a pillar of fire shot up into the sky.
A brand new dish was ready to serve. The burning flame, the spiciness of the Death Spicy Strip, and the odd taste of the meat formed a unique dish. Bu Fang named it Ecstatic Demise. The Soul Demon who ate it would laugh nonstop and lose the power to resist, intoxicated by the food.
With the Death Spicy Strip as the secret ingredient, this could be considered the dark dish with the most horrible effects Bu Fang had ever cooked. Its terror was not in the appearance or the taste, but the effect!
In the distance, Whitey beat up a top Soul Overlord and tore his body apart. On the other side, Foxy was constantly bombarding, overwhelming her opponents with incredible firepower. The two top Soul Overlords were no match for a little fox.
In fact, Bu Fang knew that if Foxy had used all her strength, the two Soul Overlords would probably have been killed. The strength of Heavengod Destruction was not what they could imagine.
Whitey’s fighting style was very violent. It waved its huge palms and slapped both top Soul Overlords repeatedly. Such attacks soon made them lose the will to fight.
The five top Soul Overlords were pinned down, and it was a disaster for the army of Soul Demons. Many of them were killed by Yang Jian, while some had fled. The two Soul Overlords fighting Whitey wanted to flee as well. They were completely unable to fight because they simply could not find any weakness in the metal puppet.
“Whitey, hold him down!”
Suddenly, Bu Fang’s voice rang out. Whitey’s purple eyes lit up when it heard that, and in the next instant, it appeared behind a Soul Overlord who was turning to flee, then caught his head with a huge palm.
Bu Fang came to them the next moment. With the dish in his hand, he hovered in front of the Soul Overlord. Then, with a thought in his mind, a thin slice of Soul Overlord meat, a few tiny cubes of fried Death Spicy Strip, and a red flame were shoved into the Soul Overlord’s mouth.
“You… You…” The Soul Overlord roared in terror. However, he started laughing the next moment and could not stop.
Bu Fang asked Whitey to hold down the other Soul Overlords as well, then stuffed the dish into their mouths. In a short while, the four top Soul Overlords were hugging each other in midair, laughing nonstop until they burst into tears.
All the guards of the Celestial Court were stunned. At this moment, Yang Jian flew over, the corners of his mouth twitching violently.
“Didn’t we say we only needed to capture one Soul Overlord alive? You got four?! You’re a horrible chef!”
