Chapter 571 Inheritance (34)

The attacks of the spirit beasts rained down on the water wall that Lin Fan had put up, but they weren't able to break through it at all.

The only reaction that came from the water wall was ripples appearing across the surface of this water.

The spiritual energy of these attacks were completely dissipated by the water wall. It was as if these attacks never existed once they came into contact with the water wall.

Lin Fan just kept the wall up as he moved towards the Control Toad and the puppets near it.

The Control Toad couldn't help revealing a more and more unstable look when it saw this.

With the way that Lin Fan came at it, it was as if he was the grim reaper that was slowly bringing death upon it.

It urged its puppets to attack with as much power as possible, but these attacks didn't have any effect at all. It was as if nothing that they did had any effect on the enemy's defenses.

But in truth, Lin Fan knew what effect it had on him.

He was hiding it under a calm mask, but blocking all of these attacks was very draining on his spiritual energy. Each attack that he had negated would take a certain amount of spiritual energy from him since he had to replenish the Clear Water that was being burnt to block these attacks.

Even with the Clear Water Bead storing the Clear Water that he had already created, it still wouldn't be enough for him to keep this up for long.

The reason why he was doing all of this was to intimidate the Control Toad.

He knew that the Control Toad wouldn't know his powers and what he was capable of, so as long as he was able to create the illusion that he was able to stop all attacks, then it would be impossible for the Control Toad not to show fear.

Once it showed fear, then it would be easy to cause panic in this Control Toad and make it act irrationally.

So that was why he was deliberately moving slowly towards it.

But there was one thing that he regretted..

Not calling the elders in with him.

If he had called the elders in with him, this would have been much easier for him to handle since they could have worked together to block these attacks.

The elders were now all waiting outside this cave since they didn't know what the situation was. Even though they had seen Lin Fan go in, they didn't follow him since they didn't want to risk blowing his cover.

They all thought that he was investigating while being hidden, they never would have expected him to be fighting the Control Toad like this.

But luckily Lin Fan had the snitch with him.

After he moved forward a bit, he finally reached the range where the snitch was able to release its golden powder on the Control Toad and its puppets.

The puppets were still shooting as many attacks as they could at the water wall that was in front of them, but it still didn't work.

Once they were in range, the snitch just released a spray of golden powder in front of it.

The attacks of the spirit beasts did scatter a bit of the golden powder, but it was too fine for them to scatter all of it. There was still plenty of golden powder that made it through the attacks and reached the spirit beasts.

The moment that the golden powder fell onto these spirit beasts, they dropped just like the ones before them. They all fell to the ground and had the same reaction as the ones that had fallen before.

There were black veins that popped out on their skins and it seemed like something was moving inside of those veins.

In the end, the same two reactions happened for them.

They either released the worms or they suddenly burst and released that black liquid.

The Control Toad wanted to release more Control Worms to get these spirit beasts back under its control, but it wasn't able to do that since the golden powder was still scattered in the air. The moment that it released the black worms, they would blow up because of the golden powder.

In fact, it was even wincing in pain since the golden powder had also landed on it.

It could feel the pain that came from the parts of it that the golden powder landed on.

The Control Toad didn't burst like the Control Worms did, but it was still being burnt by the golden powder, showing that it had an effect on it.

When the Control Toad felt this, it didn't care about the puppets anymore and moved away from the golden powder. It was as if it was all fine as long as it was the only one that survived.

But there wasn't anywhere else for it to go.

Lin Fan's water wall had cut the Control Toad off from the rest of the cave.

Even if it wasn't for the water wall, it wouldn't be able to make it to the other side of the cave since there was a whole area covered in golden powder.

It was able to resist this golden powder to a certain extent, but it wasn't able to completely resist it.

If it had to run through a large area filled with this golden powder, there was no doubt that it wouldn't be able to survive.

So the Control Toad could only cower against the wall, cursing its bad luck and wondering what it had done to deserve this.

Lin Fan's attention wasn't on the Control Toad though.

He was looking at the few humans that were throwing their attacks at the water wall.

Since they were smaller than the spirit beasts, they had been in between them the entire time. They were in the back of this formation and had been throwing their attacks at Lin Fan's water wall, though it also didn't have any effect on it.

Lin Fan had been searching for these humans the entire time and as soon as he saw them, he started moving towards them.

The snitch had been focused on the Control Toad the entire time, as if it wanted to take care of it. But it still followed Lin Fan as he moved towards those humans.

That was because it was the promise that it had made with Lin Fan.

The Control Toad had been silently watching everything and when it saw the way that Lin Fan looked at these humans, it started croaking as if it wanted to say something. It was almost as if it was trying to make a deal with Lin Fan. historical

It was just too bad that Lin Fan wasn't in the mood.

When they came close enough, Lin Fan looked at the snitch and said, "Do your thing."

The snitch floated up and down as if it was nodding before releasing its golden powder over these humans.

But this time, the golden powder seemed a bit different.

This golden powder seemed like it was much more concentrated since it had a stronger golden colour to it. It seemed like it would be more powerful than the golden powder that it released before.

As soon as this golden powder fell onto the humans, they reacted the same as the others.

They dropped to the ground right away and there were black veins that appeared on their skins.

Lin Fan held his breath as he watched over them, waiting to see what would happen to them.

As the veins pulsed on their skin, he hoped that all of them would make it out of this safely. Though there was a part of him that thought that it would be good if even half of them survived..

After all, he had no idea what it was that determined whether one lived or not after they were detoxified by the golden powder.

Finally, the results showed themselves.

Not a single one of them died from the golden powder and all of them expelled the worms from their bodies.

Lin Fan couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief when he saw this, but he also couldn't help feeling curious why this was the case.

When he looked closely at them, he realized what it was.

Compared to the spirit beasts, there were less black worms that came out of the bodies of the elders and disciples.

It seemed that the longer the black worms were in the bodies of the puppets, the more there were. It seemed that they were incubating in the bodies of those that were controlled.

Once they reached a certain point, there would be too many of them to be detoxified and they burst out of the body like what happened to the puppets that had died.

It was a good thing that he had arrived before that had happened.

Since they were smaller than the spirit beasts, he had no idea just how much it would take for them to burst like the others.

Of course, there were also many other things that he didn't know about this.

It was just a good thing that it was all over now.

Well, it wasn't all over yet since there was still one more thing to take care of.

There was still the Control Toad cowering against the wall.

Lin Fan started moving towards it once more with the water wall and he trapped it completely.

At the same time, the snitch sprayed its golden powder all over the puppets until there was only the Control Toad left.
