How powerful was the Perishing Pot stuffed with seven Explosive Meatballs? No one knew the answer, but what was certain was it was at least much more powerful than the original Perishing Pot. The principle of Perishing Pots was to destroy the targets with terrible explosions produced by unstable energy collisions. When it was added with the violent energy of Explosive Meatballs, its energy would become even more unstable, and thus its explosive power would become greater.
Of course, the extent of such enhancement would not be too absurd.
The original Perishing Pot could only kill a Two-revolution Little Saint or seriously injure a Three-revolution Little Saint. However, the Perishing Pot stuffed with seven Explosive Meatballs had no problem killing a Three-revolution Little Saint. It even had a slim chance of killing a Four-revolution Little Saint.
If stuffing a Perishing Pot with Explosive Meatballs increased its power, why didn't Bu Fang add more? Wouldn't its power be all the more terrible?
The reason was simple: there were limitations.
A Perishing Pot could carry seven Explosive Meatballs at most. Once this number exceeded, the pot would become very unstable and would likely explode uncontrollably at any time. If Bu Fang had done this, he might have killed himself before he killed the enemy. That would be a big joke.
...
The Perishing Pot exploded in midair. With a rumbling, the violent energy turned into a sea of fire, which engulfed the two Judges in an instant.
The two Judges cried out miserably. There was no way they could avoid Bu Fang's Perishing Pot because they needed to stay in place and control the array. They thought the two Abyssal Demons, whose cultivation bases were at the Little Saint level, would be able to stop Bu Fang or even kill him, but they didn't expect that they would be smashed to ashes by a dog paw that came down from the sky.
Without the two Abyssal Demons to stop him, Bu Fang's Perishing Pot approached unimpeded before it exploded in front of them. The instantaneous explosion made it impossible for them to escape, causing them to be instantly engulfed by the flames.
Boom!
Even as the flames spread over the bodies of the two Judges, the spinning blood-colored array on the ground shuddered violently, and in the blink of an eye, it cracked like glass.
The next moment, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, while powerful blasts swept out in all directions.
Bu Fang stood in place, his chest heaving. This was the most powerful attack he had been able to exert so far, and he was only able to do it by utilizing this opportunity.
'It's sink or swim now... ' His eyes were fixed on the roaring flames.
The next moment, a figure rushed out of the sea of fire. He was covered in flames, and his eyes were filled with monstrous killing intent. Staring at Bu Fang, he let out a roar, then charged at him at full speed. He wanted to tear Bu Fang to pieces.
However, as the burning man approached, Foxy, who had been resting on Bu Fang's shoulder, jumped forward and floated in front of him, her four little paws dangling in the air.
Then, she opened her mouth wide.
Buzz...
Mysterious waves gathered between her jaws. The next moment, golden energy missiles shot out of her mouth, tearing the air and mercilessly pounding at the burning man with deafening sonic booms.
BOOM! BOOM!
The sound of explosions rang continuously, and the burning man was once again engulfed by flames.
After bombing the man for a while, Foxy closed her mouth and belched. Her two tails wagged in the air as she darted back onto Bu Fang's shoulder and lay there quietly.
Bu Fang stood straight like a spear, his Vermilion Chef Robe fluttering in the wind as he looked coldly at the burning man in the distance.
After a long time, the smoke and dust finally cleared and revealed the man. He looked at Bu Fang with an unwilling expression on his face before he collapsed to the ground with a crash, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The surroundings became somewhat quiet. Many experts of the Abyss looked on in disbelief.
The array was destroyed, and the two Judges were killed by a young man. For a moment, they were at a loss on what to do, but soon, they all came to their senses and rushed at Bu Fang like crazy.
Abyssal Demons opened their mouths and uttered shrill growls, tearing apart the void and swooping at Bu Fang.
Bu Fang glanced around calmly. He felt weak and weary. Clearly, it still took him a lot of energy to attack with a Perishing Pot, but he was very satisfied with the result. He had just killed two Little Saints with only a Perishing Pot stuffed with seven Explosive Meatballs. This was his best record so far. Of course, he was somewhat lucky to be able to achieve that, but luck was also part of strength.
He breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted Foxy, who seemed to be tired as well. Then, with a thought, he disappeared in an instant.
Boom!
The next moment, the Abyssal Demons swarmed over, and their attack fell on the ground. In the blink of an eye, the spot where Bu Fang stood just now was devoured by a tremendous amount of destructive energy.
After a while, the smoke and dust faded away to reveal a huge pit, but Bu Fang was nowhere to be seen. The Abyssal Demons thought he had been annihilated by their attack.
On the other side of the battlefield, Lord Dog put his paw on the Dark Qilin's head, pinning the latter on the ground. The smell of alcohol kept coming out of his mouth. After glancing at the Dark Qilin, he threw out another paw.
With a crack, a jet of dark blood shot up into the sky. One of its legs was snapped off by Lord Dog. It let out a roar, and its aura rose sharply and became extremely violent.
With the Qilin leg in hand, Lord Dog turned and fled into the void, strutting his cat-like steps and twisting his dog butt before disappearing completely.
'Bu Fang boy had run away after killing someone... It's pointless for me to stay here any longer. Well, after playing with this fool for such a long time, I have to take some payment from it... '
...
In the boundless starry sky, the sound of a chain rattling rang out.
The chain went into the body of a Nether Prison Great Saint, who was covered in blood and unable to move, and its other end was held in the Great Judge's hand.
The Lord of Abyss City had transformed back to his human form, his eyes filled with a fierce look.
"We won the battle. It's time to go back, " the City Lord said.
Covered in blood, the Great Judge grinned.
After the battle, the Nether Prison would no longer underestimate the Abyss, and it was unlikely that it would send another army here any time soon. The main reason was that it had no extra time and energy to spare. The Abyss could take advantage of this period to rest and develop its power. As long as all the banished Abyssal Demons returned through the array, the Abyss's strength would reach a higher level.
Holding the chain, the Great Judge followed the City Lord and left the starry sky.
Fighting in the starry sky was exhausting even for Great Saints. Although they could walk among the stars, they did so at the cost of their own energy. There was no energy supply in the starry sky, and once their energy was exhausted, even Great Saints would be completely swallowed up by the starry sky.
The two of them took the Nether Prison Great Saint and flew toward Abyss City.
When they saw the city from the distant horizon, their pupils suddenly constricted.
Furious roars resounded in Abyss City. The ground was covered in holes, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. Most importantly, the crimson array had disappeared.
"Where is the array?! Why is the array missing? Where are Blood One and Blood Two?!" the Great Judge asked angrily as he landed in front of the city gates.
Rumble!
The wreckage of a Nether Prison warship hit the ground and broke apart, while the surrendered Nether Prison experts were mercilessly torn apart by Abyssal Demons. The long exile had filled these demons' hearts with black rage, so they naturally had no mercy for the people who had banished them.
The Nether Prison's army was defeated with countless casualties. A Great Saint and two warships escaped, and there were few experts left in the two ships. The suppression of the Abyss was a complete failure.
The Abyss had mercilessly slapped the Nether Prison in the face!
However, in front of the city gates, the Lord of Abyss City and the Great Judge didn't look very happy.
The array had been destroyed, but less than a third of the Abyssal Demons in the land of exile had returned. After so much effort, they only managed to let a third of the Abyssal Demons return. Without the flesh and blood of the Nether Prison experts, they could not construct the array again. No one knew how much time and energy they needed to bring the rest of the Abyssal Demons back.
All this was ruined by a young man!
"Rubbish! I can't believe Blood One and Blood Two were killed by a young human being!" The Great Judge was so furious that he kept growling.
In the distance, the Dark Qilin who had lost a leg was whining and struggling. However, no one dared to come within hundreds of miles of its body.
Looking at its miserable state, the Lord of Abyss City felt a pang of depression.
'The Dark Qilin is greatly weakened after that mangy dog snapped off its leg. I think it would take a long time to recover... '
In the end, they didn't suffer at the hands of the Nether Prison this time but suffered great losses because of a dog and a chef.
The destruction of the array and the injury of the Dark Qilin were both the work of those two fellows.
"Find out where that chef is from! I'll not forgive him for destroying my array and hurting my Dark Qilin!" the Lord of Abyss City said coolly, holding back his anger.
At the thought of the mangy dog, however, the City Lord felt rather helpless. How was he going to take revenge when he was no match for that dog?
...
As soon as Bu Fang entered the Heaven and Earth Farmland, he sat down on the grass, gasping for breath. His face became unusually pale and bloodless.
Foxy lay on his shoulder, licked his face, and rubbed her head against his cheek.
Niu Hansan rushed up from a distance and appeared in front of Bu Fang. He was startled when he saw Bu Fang's pale face.
"Owner Bu, how did you end up like this? I'm going to get you a nice steak. You need to eat well to recuperate, " said Niu Hansan.
Bu Fang looked up at Niu Hansan and twitched the corners of his mouth.
"How is Nethery?" he asked, exhaling.
"Oh, I was just about to tell you! Sister Nethery's awake, and she's in good shape!"
In the distance, the Netherworld Ship stopped in front of the wooden hut. A beautiful figure sat on the deck, swinging her long fair legs. Her face was pale and bloodless, her eyes pitch-black, and her hair was gray-green, a mixture of black and green. It was plain that the effects of the curse outbreak had not been completely suppressed.
Seeing that Nethery was awake, Bu Fang breathed a sigh of relief. By killing all four Judges who had forced her to make the curse erupt, he had avenged her and completed the first killing task the System gave him.
Bu Fang and Niu Hansan came over.
When Bu Fang came in front of Nethery and their eyes met, the System's serious voice rang out in his head.
