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!’
The red ninja’s hands flashed in gestures, then he forcefully thrust them toward Bu Fang. In the blink of an eye, his figure multiplied into a dozen! This was the art of shadow clone!
Suddenly, the ninja froze. He heard a loud smack, then he felt his whole body was going to be thrown away by a great force. The chef’s slap had landed right on his face. ‘Why did he slap my true-self when I have so many clones?!’
“You…” He wanted to say something, but Bu Fang slapped him in the face again. The tremendous force caused him to stagger back.
Bu Fang raised his hand and slapped the red ninja in the face, again and again, until the latter’s cheeks turned red and swollen.
All the clones were gone. The red ninja felt an extremely terrible pressure from the chef before him.
Finally, Bu Fang pointed a finger at the ninja’s forehead. The bandage broke into pieces and fell away instantly, revealing the lewd face of a middle-aged man, who suddenly let out a panicked cry.
Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth, then waved his finger in the direction of the wall. With a crash, the middle-aged man was thrown on the wall with a great force and sank deep into it.
“What floor is Tajiro-san’s room on? I think I should visit him,” Bu Fang said lightly, looking at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man’s eyes widened, but he refused to answer. He had to abide by the basic code of being a ninja.
‘The basic code of a ninja? What is that? Can you eat it?’ Bu Fang raised his index finger and pointed it at the red ninja’s chest. The next moment, the lewd middle-aged man was spilling out everything he knew.
When he finally finished, the middle-aged man let out a miserable scream as a great force suddenly exploded on him. The whole wall behind him burst into pieces, and he shot through it like a meteorite, arced across the air before falling into the vast ocean.
Xiao Ai’s heart pounded with horror as she watched. She knew Bu Fang was strong, but she had no idea that he was so strong. ‘That red ninja is an A-class superhuman!’
“Come… Let’s go visit that guy,” Bu Fang said indifferently. Just when he was getting bored with the slow pace of the competition, this Tajiro-san had brought him some entertainment.
Bu Fang left the room before the cruise ship’s security personnel arrived. Yu Ge followed him cheerfully, looking forward to seeing trouble being stirred up.
…
In the luxury suite room 1513 on the fifteenth floor of the cruise ship…
A middle-aged man in a bathrobe sat on a sofa. On either side of him were two women who had just come out of the shower. They were giving the man a massage with water drops still clinging to their skins.
The man was Yamashima Tajiro. Sent by the largest plutocrat of Sakura, he was not a professional chef, although he had been trained as a chef. But it did not bother him. With the plutocrat behind him, he just needed to spend money. It was easy for him to get to the top five in this competition because money was not a problem.
He was not after the prize of one hundred million dollars. He was aiming for the top five spots because only those who finished as the top five had a chance to visit that place.
Tajiro gave the red wine in his glass a gentle swirl. His eyes fell upon the two beauties as he enjoyed their massages. Their voluptuous figures made him feel a burning sensation in his lower abdomen. But he was not in a hurry. He would wait for the news to come back before celebrating the small victory with these two women.
By the end of the night, the twenty teams should be down to ten. Except for those tough nuts, all the other weaklings would be eliminated early. As for the rest, he would have to wait until the next round to finish them.
The plutocrat had prepared something good for him anyway. He would just have to add it to his dish, and even the God of Cooking would not be able to stop him from getting a spot on the top five. Tajiro finished his glass of wine in one gulp, then reached out his hands to caress the two beauties with a lewd smile.
Suddenly, there was a knock on his door. He narrowed his eyes. ‘They’re back at last… Looks like those guys are taken care of. Sending ten red ninjas at once is a huge cost even in Sakura…’
Tajiro stood up, rubbed his hands, and hurried toward the door. However, when he opened the door, he froze. Standing outside the room were not the red ninjas he had sent out, but a stone-faced young man in a denim jacket. A puzzled look appeared on his face.
Suddenly, a pressure pressed down on him, then the tail of the small fox lying on the young man’s shoulder expanded, coiling around his neck. His face turned red for want of breathing.
When the two women in the room saw that, they exchanged a glance instead of screaming. With a sharp gleam in their eyes, they each pulled out a silver bead and threw it on the floor. A loud bang rang out as the beads exploded, emitting thick white smoke.
As the smoke spread, two sharp daggers thrust out of it and stabbed toward Bu Fang. However, a tremendous force exploded out, knocking the two women flying backward and smashing them on the wall. They opened their mouths and spat out blood.
Yamashima Tajiro was suddenly filled with horror, his face looking frightened.
With hands clasped behind his back, Bu Fang stepped slowly into the room and sat down on the sofa. Foxy’s tail grew larger and longer, still coiled around Tajiro’s neck, and made him float before Bu Fang. Crossing his legs, Bu Fang looked indifferently at the middle-aged man.
Yu Ge was clever enough to close the door and locked it.
Tajiro’s whole face was red from lack of oxygen, but he kept cursing in his own language.
“Now, stop hiding and show yourself,” Bu Fang said lightly.
With his words, a figure gradually emerged on an empty wall. It was none other than one of the five main judges, the Sakura Islander.
Looking at Bu Fang with a sneer on his face, he said, “I didn’t expect the red ninja to fail… However, there’s an old saying in your country, ‘There are plenty of ways that lead to heaven, and yet you choose a way that brings you to hell.’ Are you here to… seek your death?”
