Chapter 1769 - Call for Support (2/2)

Whitey was guarding Bu Fang. Any Soul Demon who crossed the line of defense and approached him would have its head crushed by it. As it devoured souls, Whitey’s fighting prowess began to grow. It might not be as good as a duke, but it was no longer vulnerable if it were to fight a duke.

Maybe it was Soul’s order, or maybe it was the hatred of the three Great Soul Overlords on chefs; Soul Demons kept breaking through the defense line and approached Bu Fang, trying to tear him apart! Of course, they were all crushed by Whitey!

The battle turned white-hot in an instant. In fact, the army of Void City was retreating. After all, Soul Demons’ fighting prowess was extremely strong. Besides, they were not easy to kill and were easy to resurrect. These were all the characteristics of Soul Demons.

The best way to kill them was with dark cuisine, just like what Bu Fang had done. However, preparing dark cuisine was a very technical job, so not everyone could cook dark dishes.

There was no cohesion among the nobles of Void City from the beginning. Some people just ran away in the middle of the fight when they found that the situation was not right. So very quickly, the army of Void City was routed.

Except for the top combat forces, which were still fighting, Void City’s army was utterly defeated. The top Soul Overlords who had no more opponents to fight went to join the battle of the high-end forces, bringing even more pressure to the dukes.

Duchess Nightmare’s face was dark. Her gaze swept over the battlefield and found that the army of Soul Demons was wreaking havoc.

She was being attacked by a few top Soul Overlords, and coupled with the pressure brought to her by Gluttony Great Soul Overlord, she was showing signs of losing. It was also because the battle with Duchess Tianlian had made her less fit than before.

The countless Soul Demons made Duchess Nightmare and Duchess Yunlan smash to the ground. They jumped backward and retreated to the restaurant’s boundary.

After forcing back two Great Soul Overlords, Lord Dog and Er Ha retreated to the restaurant as well. Holding the Death Spicy Strip at the corner of his mouth, Er Ha squinted at Bu Fang.

“Bu Fang young man, this is not an easy battle… There are too few of us. Without your dark cuisine, these Soul Demons are not easy to deal with. The more we kill, the more Soul Demons show up…”

Sure enough, chefs were Soul Demons’ nemesis.

All the nobles had fled, and only a few familiar faces landed in front of the restaurant. Bu Fang rose to his feet, patted the dust on him, then led the crowd into the restaurant. The door closed with a crash, isolating the people inside from the din of the battle.

Inside the restaurant, the crowd’s spirits were low. Nethery had defeated Soul, but that changed nothing. Soul’s trump cards and forces were too… formidable. With the entire Soul Demon Universe as her backup, she basically had zero chance of losing.

Marquis Lang Gu and the others were covered with wounds. Viscount Ash’s face was pale, and she had depleted almost all her energy. Master Zhen Yong wore a bitter face, and he had thrown out his entire stock of pills.

The situation had become even more critical now. The Soul Demons had surrounded the restaurant. Suddenly, the Great Soul Overlords’ loud laughter rang out in the sky.

“These guys can only hide under the rock like turtles now! Attack! Flatten this restaurant!”

Gluttony Great Soul Overlord’s bellow echoed throughout the vault of heaven. Then, he took the lead to attack. The power of sin surged around him as he threw out his palm. The next instant, a huge palm fell from the sky and smashed the restaurant, trying to flatten it.

A loud boom rang out, and the ground around the restaurant all burst apart. However, the restaurant itself, which suffered the strongest blow, remained intact. The people inside the restaurant were amazed, and the two dukes were very curious.

“Is the Queen of Curses really not going to do anything? Void City is already plunged into chaos.”

Inside the restaurant, Bu Fang held a cup of hot tea and was slowly sipping it. Nourished by the tea, his spirit sea was gradually recovering.

“The Queen will do something when the time comes…” Duchess Nightmare said with a cold face.

‘Perhaps something really happened to the Queen of Curses…’ Bu Fang thought to himself. He shook his head and looked at Duchess Nightmare, who tried her best to maintain the Queen’s reputation. He said nothing to her. ‘It’s not really a good idea to rely on a queen whose current status is unknown. It seems we have to rely on ourselves…’

Rumble!

The restaurant suffered another heavy blow. This time, the three Great Soul Overlords struck at the same time. The power of their attack was almost enough to turn Void City upside down. However, it still did not break the restaurant.

The defense of the restaurant provided by the System was superior. This was something that Bu fang had known for a long time, but others did not know this. It had resisted the Great Soul Overlords’ attack several times, but what should they do when it could no longer withstand the blow and burst apart?

The crowd was very nervous, but Bu Fang remained cool. He leaned back in a chair, holding the cup, and was sipping the bright green tea while eating an oyster pancake.

When the last sip of tea was finished, Bu Fang rose slowly from his chair.

Rumble!

The restaurant shook again, and the ground around it cracked instantly. Bu Fang exhaled and focused his eyes. Then, he shook his hand and produced a recipe, which glinted goldenly.

“Hmm… It’s time to call for support and launch a counterattack…”
