Chapter 485 Inheritance (6)

There was a silence that filled the air, a silence where all sound died, a silence that was almost oppressive if it wasn't just the two of them that were there.

This silence lasted a while before there was a crisp laugh that suddenly cut right through it.

This was a laugh that wasn't bitter or full of ridicule, it was a pure laughter that was filled with genuine enjoyment, as if the person that was giving this laugh was fully enjoying the scene in front of him.

This was a laugh that came from the figure that was floating in the air.

Lin Fan just watched him with a calm look, but he could tell that something bad was about to happen, so he raised his guard.

That laugh continued for about a minute before the figure suddenly stopped and looked right at Lin Fan, saying in a voice that was so sharp that it was like a mountain of swords, "So you knew all along."

If Lin Fan hadn't been prepared, he might have been cut just by how sharp this voice was.

The figure then tilted his head and asked, "So, what do you have planned?"

Lin Fan didn't move when he heard this, rather he just stood there looking at the figure.

The figure gave a chuckle and said, "So you want me to make the first move? That's fine, here I come."

The figure raised its right hand and there was the same golden glow that had been found all over these ruins that appeared, the so-called energy of the gods. With a single flick of his finger, there was a ball of golden light that flew out right at Lin Fan.

This ball of golden light wasn't moving that fast, but Lin Fan didn't seem to have any intentions of dodging it. Even when it was right in front of his face and was about to hit him, Lin Fan didn't move a single muscle.

When the figure in the air saw this, he couldn't help knitting his brows since this didn't make sense.

Lin Fan had gone all out by revealing everything and going against him, but now that they were actually fighting, he didn't plan on doing a thing?

What was the meaning behind this?

Could it be that he had given up after seeing the difference in power or could there be another reason…

The figure just carefully watched as the ball of golden light reached Lin Fan, coming just an inch away from him.

It was at this time that Lin Fan suddenly crushed something that had appeared in his hand.

There was a wisp of illusory life energy that suddenly came out of Lin Fan's hand and came in front of him to form a barrier.

Once that ball of golden light hit the barrier that was in front of Lin Fan, it wasn't able to last a single second as it was scattered by the shockwave of the barrier. The wisps of golden energy only lasted a single second before they had completely disappeared.

However, even after blocking that ball of golden energy and scattering it completely, the wispy illusory life energy didn't disappear right away, but it also didn't continue maintaining the form of a barrier in front of Lin Fan.

If that was all that this thing had done, Lin Fan would have felt a pain in his heart over the amount of points that he had spent in buying this.

This was without a doubt a special item from the system's point shop, but it wasn't just any item, it was an item that specialized in dealing with fragments of souls like this figure that was in front of him right now. The only reason that Lin Fan was able to buy it was because it was a defensive item.

In the system's point store, the items that were the most expensive were naturally the special items or those items with offensive capabilities. That also meant that the items that were considered common or were more on the defensive side were much cheaper compared to the other items in the store.

This talisman that Lin Fan had crushed was one of those items.

But the one special thing about this talisman was that not only was it a defensive item that protected him from an attack, it was also a sealing item that could be used to seal evil soul fragments which was exactly what was happening now.

The wisps of illusory life energy that had been wrapped around Lin Fan started moving in the air, heading in the direction of the figure in the air.

While these wisps of illusory life energy moved slowly, they released a pressure that while normal people couldn't feel, it was something that affected the figure in the air quite heavily.

That was because these wisp of illusory life energy were specially made to suppress soul fragments, so to put it in other words, it was made just to work on this figure.

But the figure didn't panic at all when he saw these wisps of illusory life energy moving towards him. He didn't even bother dodging out of the way even with how slow they were.

Rather, he just raised his hand and gathered the same golden energy as before into another ball, but this time he didn't release it right away.

Watching the wisps of illusory energy approach him, that figure just had a calm smile on his face as he waited until they were right in front of him before pushing his hand out. As he pushed his hand out, the ball of golden energy that he had gathered this time wasn't scattered by these wisps of illusory energy, rather there was a balance between the two sides that was established.

However, this balance of power didn't last long before the ball of golden energy started pushing back the wisps of illusory life energy that it faced. This continued until the ball of golden energy completely pushed it away and caused all the wisps of illusory energy to scatter.

After this had happened, the ball of golden energy came back to where the figure was standing and floated in front of him before he scattered it with a flick of his finger.

There was only silence that was left after the ball of golden energy scattered.

Unlike before, Lin Fan no longer had the same calm look on his face, instead there was a look of disbelief that was there.

How could this happen?

The things that the system gave him were always of the highest quality, they were items that far surpassed the standards of the realm he was in, so he had full confidence in them. But now the item that he had used most of his points to buy had actually failed…

What was he supposed to do now?

Lin Fan was certain that he wouldn't be able to stop this figure's assault without the help of the system, but what else could he do now?

Lin Fan then asked the system in his mind, "System, are you really going to watch as this happens?"

But even when Lin Fan called it out, there was no response from it at all.

Lin Fan gave a bitter laugh deep down.

It seemed like what this figure had said was true. It didn't matter if he was here with the system or not, after all, they could just summon someone else with a new system to take his place.

The figure in the air didn't immediately move on Lin Fan after the silence was broken, rather he just floated there with a smile as he enjoyed the expression on Lin Fan's face.

After another minute of this, the figure in the air finally said, "Now are you willing to submit and give me your body? I can promise you that I'll take your share of revenge on the gods as well."

Lin Fan didn't immediately respond to this as he began searching the point store in his mind, looking for a way to get out of this. However, no matter how he looked, he couldn't find a single thing.

Or rather, it wasn't that he wasn't able to find a single thing, he just wasn't able to find a single thing that he could afford.

In the end, Lin Fan asked, "How did you do it?"

The figure in the air had a look of victory on his face, so he said without any worry, "It's very simple, where do you think the system gets its power from?"

Lin Fan thought about it and then he realized something as the shocked look on his face became even greater.

The system was something that the gods gave them and if that was the case, what it was made of should be the energy of the gods that the little girl had told him about, which was this golden glow.

This transmigration senior of his was clearly proficient in controlling this golden energy based on everything that he did, so he must have had a way to dispel the powers of the system.

Lin Fan knew that even if the system was willing to help, there was nothing it could do and he could only accept his fate…

But even if he had no other choices, he still wasn't willing, alright?

This was his precious second life where he was finally going to live the life that he wanted, how could he accept it was over just like this?
