It wasn't charging towards Hu Xiaobei...

A second later, Hei Ze, with a grim expression, made such a judgment.

The reason for this judgment was because Hei Ze clearly saw the terrifying black beetle rushing directly towards the black Gu Insect he had subdued earlier.

At the moment he confirmed this, Hei Ze felt his connection with the recently subdued black Gu Insect weaken significantly!

This discovery made Hei Ze panic…

"What the hell is going on? Is it trying to break free from my control? No! No! No! If that's the case, I have to face a horrifying backlash."

Thinking of the absolutely terrifying consequences, Hei Ze shuddered all over…

The next second, Hei Ze prepared to reinforce his connection with it.

But Hei Ze quickly realized it was impossible.

Because he lost control over his own body now...

Indeed!

At present, he could barely lift a hand.

After trying a few more times and confirming once again his inability, he angrily cursed to himself, "What on earth did Hu Xiaobei leave inside my body, why can't I even perform the most basic tasks? Why is this happening!"

Despair!

Realizing he lost control over his body, Hei Ze plunged into deep despair…

Hu Xiaobei wasn't privy to his thoughts because he truly no longer wished to bother with him…

Hu Xiaobei clearly understood that his Nine Wood True Qi would temporarily imprison him.

So there really was no need to focus even a little bit of attention on him…

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei directed all his attention to the newly appearing gigantic black beetle…

The reason for this was that Hu Xiaobei truly sensed its terrifying nature.

Hu Xiaobei knew it was the type that was invincible in terms of speed…

Earlier, before he could react, it instantly appeared right before his eyes…

Among everyone and every creature Hu Xiaobei had known, only that annoying Treasure-hunting Rabbit could be compared with its speed…

As for who was faster, it was genuinely hard to tell.

Because Hu Xiaobei knew that neither the Treasure-hunting Rabbit nor it would display their ultimate speed unless necessary…

...

This black beetle was unaware Hu Xiaobei was observing and evaluating it, for it had directed all its attention toward the Gu Insect subdued by Hei Ze.

It's my child!

It was certain the one before it was its child.

Confirming this, it was particularly delighted…

Previously, it had taken its child out to play…

Due to the child's overly playful nature, it got lost…

After discovering its loss, it once frantically searched everywhere but to no avail.

This left it somewhat desperate, hence it began to put itself to sleep.

Earlier, during endless slumber, it felt a familiar presence approaching.

Realizing this aura very much resembled its child, it prepared to investigate, but later that presence completely vanished.

Thinking it had sensed wrong, it was about to fall back into slumber…

Soon after, it once more sensed that familiar presence.

Confirming this was no illusion, it furiously, hysterically charged over here directly.

Thus, it once again saw the child that had gone missing because of it.

...

"Squeak squeak squeak…"

Upon confirming it was undoubtedly its child, it quickly cried out...

It was exceedingly anxious at this moment because it noticed its child showed no inclination to recognize it.

As if they were total strangers to each other…

"What's going on? Has it lost its memory?

Perceiving its urgency and panic, Hu Xiaobei, standing aside, calmly explained, "The reason it doesn't recognize you now isn't because it forgot you, but because its memory is temporarily sealed."

Hu Xiaobei's words reached its ears…

It swiftly turned to look at Hu Xiaobei.

In that instant, an incredibly terrifying murderous intent engulfed Hu Xiaobei entirely.

"Truly terrifying indeed!"

Uttering this exclamation, Hu Xiaobei quickly spoke, "I'm not the one who sealed its memory, it was that person."

Speaking up till this point, Hu Xiaobei raised his hand to point at the slumped Hei Ze.

Every debt fingered to its rightful owner!

Since the culprit was Hei Ze, Hu Xiaobei certainly wouldn't take the blame for him.

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's explanation, it readily opted to believe him.

This was because from Hu Xiaobei, it picked up a very familiar aura, knowing Hu Xiaobei would not deceive it over such matters.

Turning around, it saw the collapsed Hei Ze…

Being stared at, Hei Ze's whole body went numb…

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be so afraid, but at present, terror seized him because he knew his power was entirely suppressed…

Sensing Hei Ze's anxiety, Hu Xiaobei coldly spoke, "The family has reunited, cancel the contract between you and it now!"

"Why should I! I will absolutely not cancel it! Because it's my Gu Insect!"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei ask him to cancel the contract, Hei Ze froze for a second before rapidly shaking his head…

Hei Ze knew its importance to him was massive, hence he was unwilling to cancel the contract so casually.

For letting it go would be equivalent to severing his arm.

Seeing such outright denial, a flicker of coldness crossed Hu Xiaobei's eyes, "Refusing? You're courting death!"

"Courting death? Try your best to kill me, but let me remind you, it's bound to me via a contract, once I die it can't survive either!"

Cruelty twisting into a grin, Hei Ze suddenly had a brainwave, this instant, illuminating eyes turned to gaze at the enormous black beetle.

With a vicious laugh, Hei Ze coldly commanded, "I know you want me to release your child, I can agree but you have to help me do something!"

Saying so, he turned his gaze towards Hu Xiaobei and chillingly declared, "The task is to kill him, only if you help me kill him will I annul all contracts, fully restoring it."

After speaking, Hei Ze then waited in silence...

Hei Ze knew it understood his words and firmly believed that for its child, it would certainly agree to his proposal…

Upon hearing Hei Ze's words, this black beetle looked toward Hu Xiaobei…

It understood Hei Ze's words, but still hesitated…

Because it didn't wish to kill Hu Xiaobei…

...

Upon hearing his scheme, Hu Xiaobei sneered coldly, "A fool who doesn't shed tears until seeing the coffin! Do you really think this threat lets you escape alive? Courting disaster!"

With such a sneer, Hu Xiaobei swiftly flicked out a dozen silver needles…

The dozen silver needles swiftly pierced into Hei Ze's left arm.

"What… what are you doing?"

Almost completely immobile, watching those gleaming silver needles, Hei Ze's eyelids twitched…

"What am I doing? You'll find out soon enough!"

Sneering thus, Hu Xiaobei bent over, picking up an ordinary little stone…

The next second, Hu Xiaobei walked over to him with utter composure.

"You're… you're going to torture me? How laughable, I've lived so long, what haven't I seen? I'm telling you, don't waste your efforts!"

Grasping Hu Xiaobei's intent, Hei Ze continuously chuckled coldly…

In his view, what Hu Xiaobei was doing now was indeed a waste of time…

No matter the form of torture, he truly would not mind it.

"You'll know soon if it's wasted effort or not!"

Thus saying, Hu Xiaobei stood before him, afterward looking at him, said, "Won't you check your arm now?"

At Hu Xiaobei's curious remark, Hei Ze turned to look at his own arm, finding it utterly swollen at present.

"What… what does this mean? Why has my arm turned this way!"

"You'll know soon!"

So sneering, Hu Xiaobei lightly laid the small stone atop his swollen arm…

"Useless, I told you before, none of it works, you… AHHH!!!"

Before finishing his roars, Hei Ze suddenly erupted in a frenzied scream…

This was because an indescribable, heart-piercing pain presently spread through his entire body…

Even his soul felt like shattering!

At this moment, he genuinely felt as though his soul was tearing apart…

"Take it away, take that stone off me, hurry up and take it off!"

After wildly wailing, it was as though he had seen a ghost, crazily hollering...

Hei Ze's morning till evening cries were because Hei Ze found he truly couldn't bear it…

The pain was too excruciating…

The pain was so immense that even his iron-like willpower melted away…
