Cultivation Pet Shop

Mo Ze Chen watched the ghost's claw approaching him and he saw his life flashing in front of his eyes.

He knew that with his cultivation, it was impossible for him to react in time and it was impossible for him to block the attack of the ghost, so the only path left for him was death.

He had been too complacent at the last second, letting his guard down since it seemed like he had beaten his enemy. That was mainly because he was someone who didn't fight regularly, so his battle sense wasn't as developed, even though his cultivation definitely was higher than more normal people.

But in the end, it was his own fault since he had let his guard down. If he wanted to blame anyone, he could only blame himself.

Though there was a small part of him that blamed Lin Fan in the end since Lin Fan was the one that pushed him out to fight.

Still that was countered out by the fact that Lin Fan had given him a Child Soul Realm artifact for him to fight with. Along with the fact that they were in a ruin and that it was generally established that everyone should take care of themselves in ruins.

Now that he was about to die from his own mistake, he couldn't really blame anyone…

But he wasn't destined to die today since Lin Fan had already made a move.

Before both the ghost and Mo Ze Chen could even react, Lin Fan's hand had come out in front of Mo Ze Chen and grabbed the ghost by the face. Before the ghost's claw could reach Mo Ze Chen, it stopped right in front of his face.

Mo Ze Chen had a look of shock as he stared right at the claw that was in front of him before looking up at Lin Fan with a gaze of gratitude, but Lin Fan wasn't looking back at him at all.

Lin Fan was staring forward at the ghost that was struggling as he grasped it in his hand.

The ghost even tried to bite Lin Fan's hand, but he had wrapped it up in the protection of his laws, so the ghost couldn't bite him.

Lin Fan looked at the ghost for a few seconds before suddenly punching out with his other hand, sending it tumbling to the ground.

Without another word, he reached down and took the Iron Eater Bone Artifact out of Mo Ze Chen's hand and charged forward at the ghost.

With the way Mo Ze Chen was looking at Lin Fan, if he had been a girl, he definitely would have fallen in love with Lin Fan. No, even as a guy, he would have fallen in love being saved like this by someone as handsome as Lin Fan. That is if he already didn't have someone else in his heart like he did.

But that didn't stop him from being grateful to Lin Fan, to the point where he swore that he would follow Lin Fan to the end.

Lin Fan wasn't aware of any of this since he was completely focused on the ghost.

It wasn't that the ghost was strong enough to push him into using his full power, but rather he was looking for a way to kill the ghost.

It was as he had suspected, there was indeed an array that was placed around this place just like the school which healed the ghosts whenever they were fatally injured. As long as this array was in place, it was impossible for Lin Fan to destroy these ghosts completely as it had been shown with how quickly the ghost had reattached its arm.

So Lin Fan had to find another way to deal with them since he was certain that there was a boss that he would have to fight in the end.

Lin Fan had thought of this when he remembered what had happened with the ghost principal, so now he was just testing out different ways to deal with the ghost.

Right now, Lin Fan was focused because he was trying to incapacitate the ghost to the point where it couldn't move, but also where the array didn't kick in and heal it. To control his power to this extent was definitely taxing on the mind.

With Lin Fan's first slash, he cut off the left arm of the ghost just like Mo Ze Chen had done, but he made sure that it was a clean cut so it wasn't fatal. He had even released Xiao Huo before charging out just so he could have some flame laws covering his sword to cauterize the wound so that the ghost wouldn't bleed out. Though by common logic, ghosts wouldn't have blood in the first place, right?

Still, Lin Fan cauterized the rotten flesh and it was completely sealed.

After that, Lin Fan ducked and weaved as he dodged each blow from the ghost while watching the wound.

After a few minutes, Lin Fan found that there wasn't a single movement from the arm that was on the ground or the wound on the ghost. It seemed like as long as it wasn't fatal, the array wouldn't kick in.

But how much could Lin Fan do to the ghost before it was considered fatal?

Once he had confirmed that nothing would happen, Lin Fan swung out with his blade again to chop off the ghost's other arm. He did the same thing as last time and cauterized the wound, so there was no bleeding at all.

After getting its last arm chopped off, the ghost struggled to get up for a bit before finally getting up. Even with both of its arms chopped off, the ghost didn't give up at all as it continued charging at Lin Fan, biting at him again and again, but Lin Fan was able to easily dodge these since the ghost was clearly exhausted from having two arms chopped off.

After waiting another few minutes, Lin Fan saw that there wasn't any movement from the second arm chopped off.

Seeing that nothing seemed off, Lin Fan swung out again and cut off the left leg of the ghost.

The ghost immediately fell to the ground again and it was very difficult for it to stand up, but it somehow managed to do so in the end.

Hobbling on one leg, it hopped at Lin Fan, trying to bite him still, but there was no chance of this happening since it was after all it was only one a single leg.

Lin Fan was able to easily dodge all the attacks of the ghost.

It was very similar to something that Lin Fan had seen in his past life, it was a specific scene from a movie…

One about a knight in black armour…

Still, Lin Fan didn't show any mercy to this ghost as he didn't waste any time in cutting off the final leg and the torso of the ghost dropped right to the ground, not moving at all other than the head. And that head continued to bite around itself even though there was nothing there.

Lin Fan waited a few more minutes and seeing that nothing was happening to the ghost, he walked back to Mo Ze Chen who was still sitting on the ground.

After helping Mo Ze Chen up, Mo Ze Chen hesitantly came over to where the ghost torso was lying and he looked over the ghost torso as it continued trying to bite at him without succeeding.

After looking at it for a bit, he turned to Lin Fan and asked, "Boss, what do we do about this one?"

Lin Fan looked at it and said, "Do we need to do anything or did you forget about what happened last time?"

Mo Ze Chen naturally wouldn't forget about what happened last time, so he just left the ghost torso there before coming back to where Lin Fan was standing and asking, "What do we do now?"

Lin Fan looked at the end of the hall and didn't say a thing.

Mo Ze Chen looked over to find that there was another rat that was running towards them with a ghost following it.

Now that he knew how to take care of the ghosts, he wanted to try it himself since he knew that he was lacking in battle experience and the road ahead definitely wouldn't be easy.

With this decision made, Mo Ze Chen reached his hand out towards the sword in Lin Fan's hand. He knew that without this sword, he wouldn't stand a chance against this ghost that was in a higher realm of cultivation compared to him.

However, before he could take the sword, Lin Fan moved it away from him.

Mo Ze Chen looked up at Lin Fan in surprise as he thought, "Is boss going to make me fight it without the sword?"

But before Mo Ze Chen could say a thing, Lin Fan had already jumped forward.

His first hypothesis had worked and now it was time for his second hypothesis.

Instead of covering his sword with laws like before, Lin Fan charged forward with just his sword alone.

Instead of gathering his life energy as laws, Lin Fan was focusing on pulling something out of him, something that he thought he couldn't control.

Eventually, when he was right about to clash with the ghost, there was a golden diamond mark that appeared on his forehead.

With the appearance of the golden diamond mark, there was a golden glow that wrapped up around him.
