Chapter 490 Returned Souls (3)
Even with Lin Fan saying this, Xiao Hei didn't hesitate as he raised his claw to slash down at Lin Fan.
He was certain that there was nothing here that could pose a threat to him, so he was certain that Lin Fan was just trying to bluff his way out of this.
It was too bad that this wasn't the case.
As Xiao Hei was focused completely on Lin Fan, Mo Ze Chen started running forward and had his arm behind him before bringing it forward in a swinging motion. This continued until it was right in front of him and he threw out the item that he had been holding the entire time.
This was the item that Mo Ze Chen had been talking about when he met Lin Fan, the method that he could use to take care of the Nascent Soul Realm beast.
The item was nothing more than a little bead that was no bigger than a marble. This bead flew through the air, aimed right at Xiao Hei.
When it was right about to reach Xiao Hei, it also finally entered the range of Xiao Hei's detection. Xiao Hei had been completely focused on Lin Fan in front of him as he had lost himself in his rage, so his detection was completely focused on everything in front of him. So when it came to things that were behind him, it would be too late by the time that he noticed them.
Of course, he didn't mind this thing that Mo Ze Chen had thrown because he couldn't feel any special energy coming from it, so it seemed to be nothing more than a distraction that Mo Ze Chen was using to pull Xiao Hei away.
However, the truth of the matter was that it was anything but that. It was actually the main weapon that both Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen were relying on to take care of Xiao Hei.
Right before it reached Xiao Hei, the bead suddenly burst open.
The bead itself was nothing more than a shell, what was really important about this bead was actually what was contained within the bead.
When the bead burst open, it suddenly revealed a small piece of twine.
This piece of twine was only normal for a single second before it was as if it had suddenly started drawing in some kind of invisible energy around itself. Once it drew in enough energy, it started to release a white glow and quickly changed form.
The moment it changed form, Xiao Hei couldn't help reacting to it because there was a sense of danger that came from the direction of the piece of twine that he couldn't ignore.
As he turned, he couldn't help saying, "What is this…"
But he didn't have time to finish that sentence as that twine had already transformed into a white glowing net that was already surrounding him.
Xiao Hei didn't keep going forward with his claw raised to attack, but rather he immediately turned around and slashed at the white glowing net.
His claws cut right through the rope of the net, but that didn't matter because the rest of the rope suddenly expanded to take the place of the cut. Within a single second, the part of the net that had been cut had already been repaired.
When Xiao Hei was preparing to release a second attack, the white glowing net was already all around him and he was trapped inside.
The white glowing net had formed a bubble around Xiao Hei, trapping him in the center while releasing this white glow. Xiao Hei could feel a suppressive force coming from this white glow that made him unable to release his full power.
But even if he couldn't use his full power, Xiao Hei didn't give up as he continued to slash at the net with his claws.
At first, the ropes of the net were cut apart by his claws, but it kept repairing itself faster than he could destroy it. As he continued slashing at the net, he found that he was just doing less and less damage to the net itself until he couldn't slash the net at all.
The reason for this was two different factors.
The first was that by continuously using his full power attacks, he was naturally draining his own power until it reached the point where he couldn't use full power attacks anymore.
The second was that the net had been slowly increasing in suppressive force which pushed down more and more of his power.
This net was the secret weapon that Mo Ze Chen had found in one of his ruin dives a long time ago, but there was a clear downside to it.
While it was very powerful in terms of suppressive powers, it had one fatal flaw. It was an item where Mo Ze Chen had to put all his energy into it before he was able to use it, which meant that while he was using it, he didn't have a way of doing anything else.
That meant that while he could trap the Nascent Soul Realm beast, he wouldn't be able to harm it.
Then again, even if he had been able to move, he wouldn't have been able to harm it since he didn't have an artifact that could cut through the defenses of a Nascent Soul Realm beast.
While he had broken through, that still didn't mean that he would be able to break the defenses of the Nascent Soul Realm beast alone since there were still several realms between them. It wasn't just several realms, but rather two full major realms.
Any single major realm would be a gap like that of heaven and earth, not to mention two full major realms.
Even if Mo Ze Chen was able to attack the Nascent Soul Realm beast all day with his full powered attacks without running out of energy, he still wouldn't be able to break through the beast's defenses.
That was the main reason why he had proposed working with Lin Fan way back then. He could tell that Lin Fan was powerful, more powerful than he was and that he would most likely be able to break through the defenses of the Nascent Soul Realm beast.
Of course, that plan had changed countless times with all the changes in the realm, but now that there was only this Nascent Soul Realm beast left, they were back to the original plan.
Mo Ze Chen gritted his teeth as he said, "Boss, you want to take care of this quickly? I can't hold on for that much longer."
Lin Fan walked up to Xiao Hei who was trapped in the cage of white glowing rope and he looked at him with a complicated look.
Right when he was about to say something, Xiao Hei said first, "Don't look at me like that, I don't need your pity. My master and I were happy, but it was the fault of all those gods that tore that happiness away from us. I don't blame you, but I curse those gods with the last bit of my being."
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "It isn't the complete fault of the gods, your master was also at fault…"
Xiao Hei immediately roared out, cutting him off, "You think you know anything about my master! Don't you dare say…"
But Lin Fan also stared right at him with a serious look and cut him off, "You think you knew anything about your master? Don't just look at the parts you want to look at and ignore the parts that you don't want to look at."
Xiao Hei fell silent when he heard this, but then he said in a dejected voice, "Just end it. At least I'll be with my master in death."
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Your loyalty is good, it's what every pet owner would want to see. It's just a pity that you took it in the wrong direction."
Without saying another word, Lin Fan raised his sword and gathered all the laws that he could.
This white glowing net was designed to keep things in, it wasn't designed to keep outside things from going in.
With a single swing, Lin Fan's sword released a multi coloured sword energy that went right through the gaps of the rope that was surrounding Xiao Hei. That sword energy went right through the gaps in the white glowing net and flew right at Xiao Hei's neck.
Since Xiao Hei had already given up and with how weakened he was from the suppression of the net, this sword energy was able to easily pierce through his body and sever his head from his body.
That head fell down into the net and dyed it with the blood that came from it.
But as soon as Mo Ze Chen saw Xiao Hei's neck being cut off, he let out a sigh of relief as he released the net.
The net disappeared and it was at that moment that Xiao Hei's body finally crumpled onto the ground.
Lin Fan walked forward and seeing this, Xiao Hei said, "Boss, be careful, we don't know if it's dead or not yet."
But Lin Fan just turned to him and shook his head before moving towards the corpse.
When Lin Fan came closer and he could see the unwilling look on Xiao Hei's face, he reached down to close Xiao Hei's eyes as he said, "In the end, you served the wrong master. I hope that you will find someone better in your next life."
