With a popping sound, the full-height window cracked into countless lines and then shattered abruptly. A rapid burst of gunfire tore through the quiet night as the dark figures outside the window raised their flame-spitting submachine guns and fired at the people in the room.

The sudden change took everyone by surprise. Xiao Ai was startled and instantly let out a scream. In her bathrobe, she immediately rolled over and hid behind the sofa. The next moment, a volley of bullets hit the sofa, sending cotton fiber flying everywhere.

Yu Ge, too, was slightly shocked. He kicked the floor with his toe and lightly drifted to the side, dodging all the bullets that were fired at him.

“What’s going on here?! How could someone open fire on the cruise ship? Who are these killers?” Xiao Ai screamed again. Even though she was a C-class superhuman, she was still vulnerable against bullets. It chilled her to think that she had almost died just now.

The dark figures were men clad in bulletproof suits and helmets. With submachine guns in hand, they unbuckled the strings attached to them, then rushed into the room. Their purpose was simple: to kill someone in this room.

As soon as these killers burst into the room, they locked on their target, who was none other than Bu Fang, sitting quietly on the side and resting with his eyes closed. Xiao Ai and Yu Ge ducked to a corner. The killers did not pay any attention to them but just pointed their guns at Bu Fang. Without showing mercy, they pulled the triggers.

The sound of gunfire rang out, which became very clear and shrill in the room. Bullets spun rapidly and ripped through the air with ear-splitting sonic booms.

Xiao Ai’s face was ashen. ‘Who are these people? Why are they trying to kill Bu Fang?’

The bullets flew toward Bu Fang’s forehead, eyes, and other vital points at high speed. These men were trained killers who always eliminated their targets with a swift blow.

Bu Fang opened his eyes, and they were extremely deep. In his line of sight, all those bullets became very slow. He raised his hand and gently tapped his finger in the air in front of him.

At once, ripples spread through the void like a pebble had been thrown into a calm pond. The next moment, the slowed-down time abruptly returned to normal, and the bullets were shooting back the way they had come.

The killers in bulletproof suits never expected this. In just a flash, their suits burst open. Blood spurted from those openings, and then they all fell to the ground. The whistling bullets had turned around and pierced their bodies.

“Dammit!” Someone gave a low growl. They never thought that a chef could be so tricky to deal with!

One killer’s shoulder was spewing blood, but he still raised his gun and pointed it at Bu Fang’s head. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, however, Bu Fang turned and gave him an indifferent glance. As he watched in horror, the barrel of his submachine gun slowly twisted and turned, aiming at his head.

Bang!

The trigger was pulled. The killer fell to the ground and died instantly. In just the blink of an eye, all the intruders were dead.

Xiao Ai, hiding behind the sofa, was in a trance. She was just a geeky girl, and she had never seen such a gory scene. Yu Ge, on the other hand, was not impressed. Since Bu Fang could crush the thunder tribulation, he knew that these mere mortals could not harm him.

Unless these killers attacked Bu Fang with missiles or nuclear bombs, they would never be able to kill him. Normal firearms were already useless against Heaven Qi cultivators, not to mention a freak like Bu Fang, who could crush thunder tribulation with his bare hands.

‘This Senior is probably a legendary Immortal who still stays on Earth!’ Yu Ge thought to himself.

“Haha… A chef who can advance to the next round with instant noodles sure has some strange abilities… You must have added something special in your instant noodles, right?”

A voice with a faint laughing tone suddenly rang out. The empty air in the room became somewhat stagnant, and then three figures emerged out of nowhere. They were three men all wrapped up in bandages. The leader used a red bandage, while the two behind him used black bandages.

“Ninjas from the Island of Sakura…” Yu Ge’s brows furrowed.

Xiao Ai’s pupils were also constricted. ‘So it’s the Sakura Islanders who want to kill us! But what’s their purpose?’ She felt incredulous and could not understand why these people wanted to kill them. ‘Is it because of the cooking competition? But it’s just a f*cking competition!’

“Tajiro-san said that he had booked a place in the top five of this competition. So, you can die in peace now,” the ninja with red bandages said with a sneer. Then, without waiting for Bu Fang’s response, he beckoned to the two men behind him.

Xiao Ai was furious. ‘How could these Sakura Islanders be so shameless? I can’t believe they actually murdered in a cooking competition!’

These ninjas were unquestionably superhumans, and not just any ordinary ones. The red ninja was probably an A-class superhuman.

At the gesture, the two black ninjas drew the katanas on their backs and sprinted forward. As they moved, their figures flashed and disappeared, and when they reappeared, they were already in front of Bu Fang. Glinting sharply, the two katanas slashed down toward Bu Fang’s neck.

The red ninja looked very confident as he could not sense any spiritual energy in Bu Fang. ‘Perhaps the chef has some hidden tricks or even hides his strength, but so what? He’s no match for me.’ He was not worried at all. ‘Could a chef be an S-class superhuman?’

Bu Fang sighed. ‘These little flies are just too annoying…”

The next moment, the two black ninjas froze in midair. Bu Fang stood up slowly, stretched out his hand, and gave a gentle squeeze on the two katanas. With a click, the sharp blades broke at the same time. There was a bit of spiritual energy in them, which proved that they were great weapons. However, they were as fragile as crackers in Bu Fang’s hand.

Then, he raised both hands at the same time and slapped both black ninjas on their faces. With two crunching sounds, the two ninjas flew backward and crashed into the red ninja, causing the latter’s face to change.

“Found it! It’s Yamashima Tajiro, the chef from one of the twenty teams that have advanced to the next round!” Xiao Ai found the information about the mastermind behind the attack in her computer.

“The Island Nation of Sakura?” Bu Fang put his hands behind his back and walked slowly forward. “That tiny island in a remote corner?” he said indifferently.

“You’re courting death!” The red ninja’s pupils constricted. He was feeling a little stressed. He did not expect this mission to be so difficult. The chef’s strength was somewhat beyond his estimation. However, he had to complete Tajiro-san’s request.

‘This chef must die!’ he thought to himself. ‘Since he can impress the judges with just a bowl of instant noodles, he will definitely become a formidable opponent for Tajiro-san’s bid for the first place in the God of Cookery Tournament!’
