The bullets froze in midair as if they were fixed with glue. The sight of them floating there was amazing yet unsettling. At the very least, all the people present stared with wide eyes and dropped jaws.

They were first surprised by the nine-tailed fox’s friendly attitude toward the young man, then shocked by the floating bullets. None of them knew a trick that could freeze bullets.

“Is he… an S-class superhuman? A psychic-type superhuman?”

The corner of Chief Luo’s mouth was twitching. ‘I knew it. This guy is really a superhuman… He sure is good at disguising! Also, why is the nine-tailed fox so friendly with him?’

Suddenly, he thought of the words Bu Fang had said, that the nine-tailed fox was his and used to eat the food he cooked…

Chief Luo shuddered at the thought. ‘Could it be that… he really owns this nine-tailed fox? When did Hua have such a great Beastmaster? And why did he come to Jiangdong?’

Bu Fang gave Foxy’s head a gentle rub, then put her in his arms. Around her neck was a metal collar with little red dots flashing, which should be the so-called Beast-binding Rope. Frowning, he reached out a hand, ripped the collar, and threw it on the ground like some rubbish.

Chief Luo was dumbstruck. That was the Beast-binding Rope researched and developed by the State Supernatural Agency, a device that even an S-class spirit beast could not break free from. Why was it ripped off like a piece of paper?

The bullets were still floating in midair, and the foreign superhumans were beginning to lose their patience. Unconvinced, they opened fire again, and this time, a sniper hiding somewhere far away aimed at Bu Fang’s head and pulled his trigger.

In the territory of Hua, they were looters, and once they captured the nine-tailed fox, they would withdraw immediately. Therefore, they showed no mercy at all. They would kill anyone who stood in their way.

However, just when those bullets were about one inch away from Bu Fang, they stopped once again. Now, he was surrounded by countless bullets. It was a scary sight, and anyone who saw it would feel a chill run down his back.

“Have you played enough?” Bu Fang said coldly. Then, he raised a hand, crooked a finger, and flicked a bullet with it. The next moment, all the bullets turned around and…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bullets shot back faster than they came, filling the air with a rapid whistling sound that made the scalps of those who heard it go numb. However, the foreign superhumans showed no fear at all—they were wearing the latest anti-exposure suits, which were bulletproof.

Suddenly, a foreign superhuman in the suit collapsed, then two more fell. Soon, the other foreigners all plunged from the treetops and smashed onto the ground, no longer breathing. Their superhuman flesh and anti-exposure suits they were so proud of did not provide them with much resistance.

“Come… Let’s go back,” Bu Fang said softly, rubbing Foxy’s head. After that, he started toward the foot of the mountain. He was here to bring Foxy home, and he was too lazy to get involved in other affairs. What concerned him now was how to find the sleeping Artifact Spirits. He did not have a clue right now, so his temper was not very good.

The surrounding people were silent and dared not to breathe too loudly. What kind of existence was this? With just a flick of a finger… he had killed all the people from the foreign supernatural organization, among who were A-class superhumans?!

‘Who exactly is this young man? Could he be a… Qi cultivator?’ Chief Luo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he dared not to move. He wanted to stop Bu Fang, but when he saw the dead bodies of the foreign superhumans in the distance, he gave up the idea. He could only watch as the young man left with the nine-tailed fox.

“Chief, what should we do now?”

“The mission has failed…”

His men all looked at him with unsightly faces. Taking a deep breath, he said, “Let’s regroup and return to the HQ…” The strength of the young man was unfathomable, and they would be fools to try to fight him.

The surrounding Beastmasters were no fools as well, but their desire for the nine-tailed fox was too strong. So they all followed after Bu Fang.

After leaving the mountain, Bu Fang continued walking at a steady pace. Stroking Foxy’s soft fur, he frowned and asked, “Do you know where Nethery is?”

Foxy looked up and shook her head.

Bu Fang was not surprised that the little fox had no idea of Nethery’s whereabouts. It seemed that he might have more trouble finding Nethery. Foxy was, after all, a spirit beast, so she made a bigger target.

The vague auras following him from behind were very obvious in his divine sense. Bu Fang liked that not a bit, so he thought he needed to teach those people a lesson. With Foxy in his arms, he stopped in place. That startled those Beastmasters hiding in the dark. Then, he exhaled softly, looked up, and said lightly, “Scram.”

“Scram…”

“Scram… scram… scram…”

As his voice left his mouth, it grew louder and louder until it sounded like the clap of thunder, shaking the whole mountain and exploding in every ear. At the same time, a terrifying divine sense pressure fell from the sky.

The faces of all the Beastmasters changed. Every one of them coughed up blood, fell to the ground, and could no longer move as if their whole bodies were filled with lead. They felt as though they had gone to hell and back. The aura was just too horrible.

Without hesitation, these Beastmasters jumped to their feet and scurried away like mouses. They did not dare to stay long, for fear that Bu Fang might kill them. They had seen with their own eyes how Bu Fang murdered those foreign superhumans—they could not believe such a terrifying Qi cultivator existed in Jiangdong!

It was only when Bu Fang had sensed all the auras disappeared and heard no more noises that he walked at a steady pace toward his rented apartment. Meanwhile, Foxy and Shrimpy were playing on his shoulder.

As he walked, a thought suddenly struck him, and he sank his mind into the spirit sea. He hovered over the spirit sea, and the God of Cooking Sets were all floating in there as well. Then, he went up to the enormous Qilin, who was sleeping at the moment.

It was the Qilin who told him about the Artifact Spirits’ whereabouts, so he thought it was only right to come and ask him for further information.

“Qilin, the sleeping place of the Artifact Spirits is on Earth… But where exactly are they?” Bu Fang asked, frowning. His voice resounded through the air, but the Qilin showed no sign of waking up. “Is the revival of Earth’s spiritual energy related to the slumber of the Artifact Spirits?” he asked again.
