Chapter 283: Slave trade base (7)

Unlike before, this dark figure didn't hesitate at all as it suddenly swung its hand, causing a blade made entirely of the dark energy its body was made of to suddenly form from its hand.

But the blade wasn't completely black. There was a white glow that was surrounding the black energy that the blade was made of.

When Lin Fan saw this, he couldn't help knitting his brows since he immediately recognized what this was.

This was something that he had relied on to defeat all his enemies, it was his ability to use two separate laws together.

Based on the colours of the law energy that were being fused, it seemed like this former King was an expert with the laws of light and dark. These were two laws that complimented each other while also opposing each other, allowing them to blend and fight each other to create an even stronger power. The effects of these two laws combining would definitely be much stronger than the random assortment of laws that Lin Fan had.

But, Lin Fan still wasn't worried since he didn't only just have two laws.

The dagger in Lin Fan's hand quickly changed form and turned into a medium sized sword.

The dark figure was about to jump forward, but the moment Lin Fan's sword became bigger, his single eye narrowed once again as he looked it over and said, "An Embryo Soul Realm Artifact, just who are you?"

Lin Fan just stood there without saying a thing.

The dark figure only hesitated another second before charging out at Lin Fan with its blade drawn over its head, preparing to swing it right down.

Lin Fan reacted to this by bringing his sword down slightly, preparing to swing right up to meet that blade that was coming down.

As they approached each other, right before they were about to clash, there was a sudden flash of light that came from the dark figure's blade. Lin Fan had no choice but to close his eyes.

When he was able to open his eyes again, the dark figure was already gone from in front of him. Even with his spiritual sense, he couldn't find where the dark figure had gone.

While Lin Fan was looking around for the dark figure, there was a sharp point that was dropping down right on him.

The dark figure had used the combination of light and dark laws to first blind Lin Fan before using dark laws to hide above him, waiting for the moment he was distracted after recovering his sight to attack.

But right before the dark tip of the blade could pierce Lin Fan's head, there was a layer of rock that suddenly appeared above Lin Fan.

Of course, that layer of rock couldn't block the blade of two laws long enough, but still it was long enough for Lin Fan to react. Lin Fan quickly twisted out of the way of the tip of the blade, but that blade falling down still scraped the side of his arm as he was dodging.

For once, Lin Fan's naturally powerful body wasn't able to defend against this attack. The blade had actually cut right through his skin, leaving a faint streak of blood on his arm.

Lin Fan wasn't surprised by this since he could tell that this dark figure was in the low Fragmented Soul Realm based on the energy it released. With the combination of its two laws, it was much more than just that and with how its laws complimented each other, the might of that blade had even reached the high Fragmented Soul Realm, coming close to the peak. As for Lin Fan's body, it was only at the mid Fragmented Soul Realm.

Lin Fan was just glad that he had released Rocky ahead of time just in case.

Rocky had slowly been gaining intelligence, so it could already be considered a living piece of armour. Just by being outside with Lin Fan, it could react to attacks that Lin Fan couldn't react in time to and use parts of its own body to protect Lin Fan by creating rock shields.

But in the end, Rocky was still only in the high Platinum Realm, It hadn't reached the point where it could easily block attacks in the Fragmented Soul Realm, even if it was a mutated beast.

Lin Fan knew that he had underestimated this dark figure. He had thought that it would be easy since this dark figure only seemed to be in the Fragmented Soul Realm, but he had completely neglected the fact that it was a fragment of what used to be a King of the Beast Race.

Kings were rulers of the Beast Race that were on par with the rulers of Stellar Kingdoms, this meant that they had to be experts that were near the peak of the Sun Realm.

Even if this dark figure was weak, its mastery of its laws and on how to use those laws definitely wasn't shallow. It definitely had the same level of combat strength that he did, being able to skip several realms above his own and still being able to fight.

The only good thing was that Lin Fan could tell that this dark figure's energy was getting weaker with each passing second.

He didn't know what the story of the crystal was, but he could tell that this King definitely wasn't at its peak and was relying on this crystal to keep its form or something close to that.

Lin Fan no longer dared to hesitate as he suddenly released three different laws and those three different coloured energies surrounded his sword.

The dark figure was immediately shocked when it saw this since this was still considered rare even for the level it was at.

The dark figure began to rethink his evaluation of Lin Fan.

The fact that he could have an Embryo Soul Realm Artifact and utilize three different laws on a lower realm meant a lot. If his guess wasn't wrong, Lin Fan should be some super genius that was either raised by an upper realm or some Stellar Kingdom.

Could it be that he also had the same information that the King had and knew about the special treasure here?

But there had been only him and that annoying girl who had known about this!

It really was a pity that the dark figure's guess was completely wrong since he could never fathom the existence of the system. No one in this world would have been able to understand the existence of the system.

Well, not exactly no one since there were also system cultivation novels in this world as well. But out of all the ones that Lin Fan had read, there wasn't a single one that he could compare to the ones he read on earth.

All of these thoughts passed by in a second as the two of them once again charged at each other.

Lin Fan was prepared this time, but it was too bad that the dark figure didn't use the same attack.

As the dark figure swung out horizontally this time, Lin Fan raised his sword to block it, but the dark figure had swung way too strong before he even reached Lin Fan. The dark figure turned and turned with the sword spinning around it, but the strange thing was that it wasn't approaching quickly.

As it slowly moved towards Lin Fan, the dark figure began to sink into the ground until it had completely disappeared.

Once again, Lin Fan had completely lost track of the dark figure as it hid inside of its dark laws.

Lin Fan immediately turned around since he predicted that the dark figure would come out from behind him, but then the dark figure jumped out exactly where it had sunk into the ground, being behind Lin Fan now that he had turned.

Still, what the dark figure never expected was that Lin Fan had done this all on purpose.

When the dark figure slashed down, the dark blade was suddenly frozen in the air like it had hit an invisible wall.

The dark figure narrowed its eyes as it realized that this time it had been baited in, but it also felt shocked by the fact that Lin Fan could actually control four different laws and the fourth law was the rare spatial law.

Lin Fan didn't give it a chance to recover as he suddenly disappeared from where he had been standing, appearing again right behind the dark figure, already slashing down with his sword covered in three different laws.

The dark figure knew that it had been caught, but that was to be expected since it had to rush to end this battle as soon as possible before it ran out of energy. But then again, before the battle even started, it had already said that it was prepared to die with Lin Fan.

Ignoring the sword that was swinging down at it, there were tendrils of darkness that came out of the back of the dark figure, stabbing around the blade at Lin Fan. Since it was going to die, it would take Lin Fan out with it!

But, Lin Fan was also prepared for this as he had created spatial walls around himself, completely blocking all the tendrils that were aimed at him.

The blade cut right through the dark figure and the moment it did, there was a suction force that drew in the dark figure's energy and laws.

The moment the dark figure felt this suction force, its eyes immediately opened wide as it said, "You! How do you have this…"

But before it could finish, Lin Fan's swing had cut right through it and shattered its form, taking all the energy that was left in the crystal. The dark figure completely disappeared and the crystal that had turned completely transparent fell to the ground.
