1541 Shaka and Nine Province Buddha

Xia Fan had no desire to resist and very calmly accepted Luolin’s demand. He said with a deep voice, “There’s no need to choose. As long as you can guarantee that Blind Grandpa and the others will be safe and unharmed, and you remove their mind-control, then the Law of Gold is yours!”

One should not ignore their conscience, and when it involved the Disasters who had raised him, Xia Fan made the decision that he would accept any condition as long as he could save them!

*Clap clap clap* Luolin laughed as he applauded, “Sure enough, you live up to your name as a descendant of the Skywing Clan. The moment they are safe, who would guarantee you would not attack me?”

“Wait until we leave Ashen Moon, then these people will be free, that I guarantee. But of course, my elder brother will not be included.”

Xia Fan was stunned. Luolin was willing to let everyone go, but wanted to keep Blind Grandpa? What should he do?

If he were to accept, there was a very good chance he would never get to see Blind Grandpa again, and Xia Fan’s life had been saved by his hands, so he had no desire to see that outcome.

But if he did not accept that condition, Doctor, Fisherman, the Dancers, and all the other Disasters could very well end up dead! All of a sudden, Xia Fan found himself caught in between a rock and a hard place.

He watched while his mind raced. All of a sudden, Xia Fan was startled by something he had just noticed. He had uncovered a minor detail; Luolin wore a silver ring on his right index finger; Xia Fan remembered he had the habit of twisting said ring from time to time. But today, Luolin had not once touched that ring the entire time they were talking, which was somewhat abnormal.

Xia Fan revealed a slight smile and with a swipe of his finger over his spatial ring, he retrieved the Law of Gold and waved it in his hand.

Luolin nodded slightly, while Shaka’s shone as he stood guard by the entrance to the warship. He pinched his fingers in his excitement, a subtle movement that did not escape Xia Fan’s eyes.

“Take it!” Xia Fan tossed the Law of Gold high up into the air, lobbing it across in a wonderful parabolic arc. Luolin reached out with both hands to grab it. Shaka’s brows were focused as he stared at the falling Law of Gold.

In that moment, Xia Fan unexpectedly darted forth. He had secretly injected himself with some Yggdragon blood, and so the speed he reached was past the ten thousand meters/second mark. It took him 0.02 seconds to reach Luolin from where he stood at most.

“You tricky b*st*rd!” Luolin bellowed.

His expression curdled right there and then. Everyone watched as Xia Fan did not delay in the least, and like ghostly figures, they passed by each other. If Xia Fan wished, he could easily have taken Luolin’s life with one slash of his dagger, but he did not do that. He had gone past Luolin and was sprinting right for Shaka instead!

*Crackle!*

With a single glaring flash, a bolt of lightning thundered as it came crashing down from the sky. This lightning struck Shaka right on his head. His black hair was instantly burned away, as thick smoke rose from his body.

It was very coincidental. At the same time Xia Fan’s blade struck Shaka, the Disasters, Blind Grandpa, and Luolin all collapsed to the ground, almost as if their bodies had been sapped of life, immediately going limp.

“Where am I?” Luolin asked, feeling a throbbing pain wreaking havoc in his head as he massaged his temples.

Traveling Buddha and the others were floored. It turned out even Luolin had been controlled!

Xia Fan had seen through Shaka’s deception and with a literally thunderous offense, he broke his control over the Disasters. Now both Blind Grandpa and Luolin had regained their freedom!

Traveling Buddha, Tamu, and Bright Pearl all came rushing forward, each of them unleashing their various abilities. Pearl transformed into her Frostseal Megadragon form, using her wings to protect the Disasters. After all, they were already old partners that had acted in concert with each other; Pearl and Traveling Buddha acted swiftly, and their coordination was flawless.

“Why are you not attacking?! Kill that damned beast!” Traveling Buddha was yelling as he stood behind Xia Fan, incensed.

Despite this, Xia Fan remained still. He used the Flying bird style he had learned from Pearl to press the ground with one hand and maintained readiness while also stopping TB from making any reckless moves.

“Hahaha!” Shaka let out a mirthless laugh. After being rendered completely beyond recognition after taking Xia Fan’s attack, his body quickly recovered, his burned skin was automatically shed, and new hair grew from his head.

In less than a second, Shaka managed to make a full recovery, almost as if Xia Fan’s attack did not pose a threat to him at all. Such a powerful recovery ability was practically inhuman!

“Careful! He has already broken past his fourth Law Barrier!” Tamu shouted loudly.

The ultimate goal for a warrior when breaking their Law Barrier was to turn themselves into an immutable Law, becoming one with the Law and vice versa. The rules of the universe would bend to their will, and if they wanted for flowers to bloom, no flower would dare resist, even so much as having the sun set at his will.

The highest realm of Law Power was known as the six paths of reincarnation. Shockingly, Shaka had already opened up four paths. Not even Tamu had expected Shaka to make so much progress so quickly. Just what exactly did he get up to in the years since he had left God Metropolis? How did he manage to get past four Law Barriers in that time?

Even though Shaka was from the Beast race and influenced by the power of Darkness, he had somehow gotten close to the point of godhood! Xia Fan’s attack had hardly harmed him at all, meaning he was already considered an unkillable existence. Even if Xia Fan and the others join hands to destroy Shaka’s physical body today, he would be able to be reborn from a cocoon once more!

“To think I was discovered,” Shaka stroked his chin. “But the end result isn’t bad. At the very least, I’ve managed to get a hold of what I desired!”

Saying that, Shaka lifted his right hand, revealing the golden tome in his grasp. It was none other than the Law of Gold that Blind Grandpa had left to Xia Fan.

Shaka weighed the tome in his hand, “The Law of Gold itself isn’t anything too amazing, and it has limited use to a novice Law warrior, but it is different in my hands. It is very difficult to improve once you get as far as I have, but with this Law of Gold in my hands, I’ll be able to very easily improve my combat strength. The higher level a Law Warrior gets, the more useful the Law of Gold will be!.”

Shaka lifted his gaze toward Tamu and said in a low voice, “Speaking of which, I have to thank you. You’re the one who brought me to Ashen Moon, and I very fortunately encountered descendants of the Fey here.”

Tamu was speechless. He had used a warship he disguised as a planet, but he could not have imagined that Shaka was on the planet, and like a Demonic Seed, he had infected Tamu and Ashen Moon!

Shaka continued, “Ashen Moon is a great place, where not only are there descendants of the Fey, there are even soldiers that the Ant race had left buried a very long time ago. Now that I’ve killed the Queen Ant, and the Law of Gold is in my hands, there’s no reason for me to remain here, so it’s time for me to go.”

“Go? Coming and going as you desire, are you toying with yours truly?” Traveling Buddha was indignant, puffing out his chest with folded arms, acting all arrogant.

“LET HIM GO!”

That voice thundered across the sky very suddenly, just as a warship sped over. It penetrated through the Skydome with a dull thud; it was actually another Flicker-class warship!

This warship landed abruptly, and an elderly man alighted. His eyebrows resembled Traveling Buddha’s, and his entire body gave off a brilliant golden light. Behind him was Hidden Wind, as well as the experts from the Four Great Clans.

“Old geezer! What are you doing here?!” Traveling Buddha asked with a furrowed brow, stunned upon seeing him.

Whap! The elderly man came over to Traveling Buddha’s side and clapped him on the back of his head, making him see stars. Though Traveling Buddha was annoyed, he did not dare resist, retreating to the side to sulk.

Xia Fan had known Traveling Buddha for a very long time, but this was the first time he had seen TB so deflated. Even in front of his father and grandfather, Traveling Buddha had never shown any bit of fear, so it had to mean that this elderly man held a very high status.
