Ghost (3)

"You bastard, just you wait! Once I'm free, I'll make you pay!" Fanxin roared angrily.

That guy's actions were tantamount to killing him. He certainly wouldn't let him off easily. Now, he didn't know how to deal with him, but he was confident he would eventually catch him.

"Hmph, you'd better survive first!" the voice said dismissively.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin Xin said nothing more. He was absolutely right; he was still trapped, and any further words would be pointless and futile.

He rushed forward and grabbed the robot. Then, he took the robot into his Diamond Space. He was now completely unable to break free from this situation. Therefore, he had no choice but to temporarily retreat.

Once inside the Diamond Space, Fanxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, hiding here is only temporary. We must figure out the enemy's abilities, otherwise we'll never escape," the robot said.

The opponent's abilities are extremely strange; they can control heavenly fire and meteorites—these are devastating weapons! If they can't crack them, they'll suffer a great loss.

"That's an understatement." Fanxin nodded affirmatively.

"Have you figured anything out?" Fanxin asked.

"I think we've entered his territory. Everything in his territory is at his mercy. So, we're helpless; we can only take the beating," the robot said. "Our only option is to find a way to break out of his territory. That way, that guy can't do anything to us."

"His territory?" Fanxin pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "That's right, that place is under his control. Therefore, he can control it at will."

"But how do we escape from here? As soon as we appear, they will release meteors and heavenly fire, and then we will have to hide in the Diamond Space again," Fanxin said helplessly.

"This is indeed a troublesome matter," the robot pondered for a moment, then said, "Since we can't fly upwards, let's try flying horizontally; that might be useful."

"Horizontal flight? What does that mean?" Fanxin Xin asked, puzzled.

"I've observed that their goal seems to be simply to prevent us from going to them. If we withdraw voluntarily, I believe they won't be so aggressive," the robot said. "Furthermore, if we fly laterally, we'll be away from their territory. And previously, before we entered their territory, we didn't encounter any attacks, which I don't think is because they didn't want to attack."

"You mean, the distance is too far for him to attack us, right?" Fanxin understood and said.

"Hmm, I think so. I don't know if it's true, but we can give it a try," the robot said.

Fanxin Xin thought this made sense. Now, they had no other choice but to try it out.

"Let's go." Fanxin hesitated for a moment, then immediately led the robot out of the Diamond Space.

Then, he and the robot flew away into the distance, no longer approaching the mountain.

As the distance increased, Fanxin suddenly realized that the meteorites and heavenly fire were no longer falling on him and the robot.

"Just as I thought!" Fanxin Xin nodded and said.

The robot flew for a while, then immediately ascended. After reaching high altitude, it looked down, and after a moment, chuckled and said, "I understand, I understand."

Fanxin heard the robot's laughter. He was puzzled, then immediately flew towards the robot's location. Upon reaching it, Fanxin asked, still confused, "What do you know?"

"Look down there!" the robot said, pointing downwards.

Upon hearing Fanxin, Fan Xin immediately looked down and discovered that the mountain was gone. Everything on the island was exactly as it had been, with nothing changed.

"What does this prove?" Fanxin asked, puzzled.

"Master, if the terrain had truly changed, the island would definitely not look the same anymore. But now, the island seems unchanged, which can only mean one thing," the robot said.

"What's the reason?" Fanxin still didn't understand and asked.

"The other side can also manipulate space. We entered their space earlier. In their space, everything operates at their discretion. The meteorites and heavenly fire they released were not actually meteorites and heavenly fire," the robot said.

Seeing that Fanxin still didn't understand, the robot continued, "We're inside his space, so everything is magnified infinitely. You also have your own space, but when you're outside it, it appears tiny. However, to those inside, you seem like a behemoth, inspiring fear and preventing them from resisting. This is because our positions are different, drastically altering our perspectives. Now, do you understand what I mean?"

"I think I understand." Fanxin Xin nodded and said, "You mean, the other side has some kind of magic. As soon as we enter their territory, they immediately shrink us. And those meteorites and heavenly fire are actually just ordinary rocks and flames. Because we've shrunk, those rocks look like meteorites, and those flames look like heavenly fire, right?"

"Not bad," the robot said.

"Stay away from here." Fanxin glanced down and said, "Looks like that guy's quite capable."

"Hmph, just a little trick. If others see through his abilities, he's not that powerful at all," the robot said. "Otherwise, he wouldn't need to use such tricks to fool others."

"Hmph, that's not necessarily true. Since he can make everyone on the island so wary, he must have some ability," Fanxin said, waving his hand.

If the other party hadn't been capable, he would have been dealt with long ago within the last hundred years. There's absolutely no way he could have survived unscathed until today.

"So what should we do now?" the robot asked.

"Now that we've seen through their tricks, things are much easier for us," Fanxin said. "Let's go, let's go and give them a piece of our mind!"

The robot nodded in agreement, offering no objection.

Fanxin Xin immediately flew downwards, with the robot following closely behind.

Upon reaching the destination, Fanxin did not descend, fearing he might fall into the enemy's trap again. If he were to fall into the enemy's controlled territory, his success would be greatly diminished.

"Hey, you coward, come out!" Fanxin shouted loudly at the ground from mid-air.

"Huh, you're not dead? How did you get up there?" Upon hearing this, the owner of the voice looked up, his expression changing slightly, and said.

"Kid, I've seen through your tricks. Don't try them on me. Come out now, and I won't lay a hand on you. If you don't, I'll destroy this whole area." Fanxin said viciously, "I'm not in your territory, so you can't do anything to me, but I can make you suffer a great loss. I don't need to tell you what to do."

"You bastard, I've done nothing to you, why are you causing me trouble?!" the voice said angrily.

"Hehe, I've taken a liking to your abilities. Come with me! How about it?" Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

Although he had seen through the other party's abilities and knew how to deal with them, others didn't know, and for so many years, no one had been able to figure out his abilities; he must have something extraordinary about him.

Therefore, he plans to absorb the other party into his ranks. With the other party around, he will have another ally. His abilities may not be able to harm people, but they can certainly frighten them!

If he didn't possess Soul Perception, he might have been terrified by the scene the other party created.

"Go with you? Who are you?!" the owner of the voice asked.

"I'm a pirate. Do you want to become a pirate?" Fanxin asked with a smile.

"I'm not going. Being a pirate is too dangerous. I could easily lose my life," the voice said, immediately shaking its head.

"But if you don't become a pirate, you'll be dead right now," Fanxin said. "Do you want to die right now? If so, I can grant your wish."

"You..." The owner of the voice was furious upon hearing this. If he could, he would have destroyed Fanxin right now.

"Alright, come with me! I don't need you to face the enemy head-on, I just need you to scare some small fry for me, how about it?" Fanxin said with a smile.

He was unwilling to kill more lives; that was his true nature. However, when he fought the navy, those marines would certainly not let up. At that point, he would have no choice but to intervene. And once he intervened, someone would inevitably die.

Therefore, he needs someone to get rid of those annoying marines. Once they're gone, he can fight with ease.

The other party's ability is perfect for him. Therefore, he plans to absorb the other party into his ranks.

"I can go with you. However, you must provide me with a bodyguard, otherwise, I won't go," the voice said.

"Oh, you're that afraid of death?" Fanxin said with a chuckle.

"Hmph, of course. Aren't you afraid of death?" the voice replied. "When a person dies, they have nothing left. So, I don't want to die, because I don't want to lose everything."

"Okay, I'll give you a bodyguard." Fanxin nodded and said.

"In that case, come down!" the voice said. "I don't have the ability to fly, so I can't come up here to see you."

"Okay, I'll get down," Fanxin nodded and said.

"Master, once you go down there, you'll be entering their territory. What if they target you again? What will we do then?" The robot was worried. They had previously entered the enemy's territory and suffered a great loss, almost unable to return.

If they go back inside now, they'll be in trouble if the other side makes a move.

"Hehe, it's alright. The other party is my companion, and companions wouldn't attack each other. I trust him." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said. His voice wasn't quiet, and everyone could hear him clearly.

He said he spoke so loudly intentionally so the other person could hear. He wanted the other person to understand that he was sincere and that they had nothing to worry about.

After saying that, he flew down without any hesitation.

The robot immediately followed; its duty was to stay by Fanxin's side. Wherever Fanxin went, it would go.

A few minutes later, Fanxin landed on a hilltop. The robot landed not far behind him.

"Where are you?" Fanxin asked.

"Keep walking forward! I'm about a hundred meters ahead of you," the voice said.

Fanxin nodded, put away his Flight Armor, and walked forward. The robot followed closely behind.

Ten minutes later, Fanxin arrived at his destination. Looking ahead, he saw a young girl sitting in a wheelchair. The girl was wearing a white dress and a white lace hat. Her skin was very pale, as was her complexion, which looked somewhat frightening.

"Are you the one who's been secretly causing trouble?" Fanxin walked over and asked.

"Yes, that's me," the girl said.

"Why are you playing tricks on the people of this island?" Fanxin Xin asked, puzzled.

The girl's attacks weren't powerful, but they were quite frightening; someone with a weak heart would easily be terrified. He realized that the girl didn't intend to kill the island's inhabitants, but rather to intimidate them.

He was a little confused. Was playing pranks on people really that fun? Once or twice, maybe it was. But she had been playing pranks on the people of this island for a whole hundred years! That was a long time, he thought. Even something fun would get boring after a while.

"Because I don't want anyone to find me. If someone finds me, I'll die," the girl said.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Fanxin asked, puzzled.

"Do you know about the Celestial Dragons?" the girl asked.

"I've heard of the Celestial Dragons; I've heard they're Celestial Dragons. So what? Do you have any connection with them?" Fanxin Xin nodded in response.

The Celestial Dragons are the Celestial Dragons, the race with the highest bloodline in the world. Other races must bow down and submit to them. In this world, they are like gods, high above, looking down on everyone.

Anyone who offends Celestial Dragons will suffer a Destruction blow. If you attack Celestial Dragons, even the Marine Admiral will be mobilized.

Therefore, everyone keeps their distance from the Celestial Dragons and dares not offend them.

However, Fanxin didn't take it seriously. Although the other party was of noble status, he didn't respect him because he was a person who only respected heaven and earth, only worshipped his parents, and only respected himself.

So what if the other person is of high status? He has no connection with them whatsoever! Even if he saw them, he wouldn't try to curry favor with them.

If he wants money, he can rob it; if he wants territory, he can rob it! He can obtain everything the Celestial Dragons can offer through his own efforts. Therefore, he doesn't need to regard the Celestial Dragons as gods.

"I've offended the Celestial Dragons, and many people know my face. If I appear in the world, the Celestial Dragons will send people to hunt me down, and I'll die." The girl looked at Fanxin and said, "Therefore, I must hide myself. I must make others fear me so they won't dare to come here and disturb me. Only in this way can I survive."

"I see." Fanxin Xin nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Hmph, are you sure you want me on board? If I show up, you'll be in big trouble. You'll be hunted down by the Celestial Dragons, and then you'll die a horrible death," the girl said with a smile.

"Hehe, of course. So what if they're Celestial Dragons?" Fanxin chuckled upon hearing this and said, "The sky's the limit for me, the sea's the limit for me. No matter how powerful they are, if they can't catch me, it's all in vain."

He possesses Flight Armor, allowing him to fly in the sky; he is also an amphibian, able to live in the depths of the ocean. It would be extremely difficult for the Celestial Dragons to capture him. He simply cannot escape, either hiding in the ocean depths or flying high into the sky.

By then, the Celestial Dragons will only be able to watch helplessly, unable to do anything about it.

"You're quite confident, aren't you? Do you even know how powerful the Celestial Dragons are?" the girl asked, seeing Fanxin's nonchalant expression.

She assumed that Fanxin didn't understand the Celestial Dragons, which was why he acted indifferent. If Fanxin knew how terrifying the Celestial Dragons were, she thought Fanxin might be frightened.

"His power? Sorry, I don't know. But even if I did know, I wouldn't be afraid." Fanxin said, "Alright, come with me!"

The girl looked at Fanxin and said, "Are you sure you can withstand the wrath of the Celestial Dragons?" She was still a little worried because Fanxin was too carefree. She felt it was necessary to let Fanxin know how truly terrifying the Celestial Dragons were.

"I can handle it," Fanxin said firmly. His expression was so serious that it was hard for anyone to doubt him.

"Oh, give me a reason?" the girl said after a moment's thought.

She wanted a definite answer because she didn't want to die like Fanxin! She was hiding here because she didn't want to die. Otherwise, she would have left long ago and wouldn't be hiding here.

"Because my dream is to beat up Admiral Akainu, hehe, is that reason enough?" Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

"Hmm, why did you beat him up?" the girl asked curiously.

"Because he wiped out my entire clan." Fanxin sneered and said, "And I've also heard concrete information that it was Celestial Dragons who ordered the attack on my family back then. Damn it, don't let me get a chance, or I'll beat up even the Celestial Dragons."

This inside information was told to him by Li Kecheng. He didn't know the details of what happened back then, but Li Kecheng was someone who knew about it. He believed that Li Kecheng wouldn't lie to him.

"What? You also have a grudge against the Celestial Dragons?" The girl's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and she said.

"That's right. I wish I could kill the Celestial Dragons. However, I've heard that the Celestial Dragons all live on an island, heavily guarded and full of powerful warriors. I'm too weak to go there right now. But if I manage to catch a lone Celestial Dragons, I'll definitely teach him a lesson." Fanxin nodded and said unhappily.

The Celestial Dragons, relying on their status as Celestial Dragons, act recklessly and disregard the lives of others, doing whatever they please. He disliked the Celestial Dragons intensely.

"Heh, you're really audacious!" the girl chuckled, and said, "Do you really want to deal with the Celestial Dragons?"

"Yes, you have news, right?" Fanxin asked upon hearing this.

"That's right. I heard that the Celestial Dragons will soon be inspecting the Prague Kingdom. You might be able to see Celestial Dragons there," the girl said with a smile.

"The Prague Kingdom? Xiao Ning, where is it?" Fanxin asked, looking at the robot. Xiao Ning was the name he had given the robot. There were too many robots in Wolf Valley; if he didn't give Xiao Ning a name, he wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

"It's to the west of Onigashima, more than three thousand miles away," said Xiao Ning, the robot, after checking the information.

"Hmm." Fanxin nodded, looking at the girl, and asked, "When will the Celestial Dragons arrive in the Prague Kingdom?"

He wanted to know the exact time, otherwise he might miss it.

"A month from now, if you use your Flight Armor and travel at full speed, you should be able to reach the Prague Kingdom before then," the girl said with a smile.

"Oh, really? Okay then, my next destination is the Prague Kingdom." Fanxin Xin nodded and said.

The girl looked at Fanxin and was stunned to see that he showed no fear on Fanxin face. She had thought Fanxin would be scared.

After all, he was dealing with the Celestial Dragons were Celestial Dragons, and others were eager to curry favor with them. However, Fanxin looked down on them, which she found unbelievable.

"Alright, enough talk, where's your luggage? How much do you have? Pack it all!" Fanxin urged.

"My luggage is all packed, I can leave anytime," the girl said.

"Okay." Fanxin nodded and said, "Let's go now. My name is Fanxin, captain of the Heavenly Soul Pirates, with a bounty of 80 million gold coins."

"I know you." The girl nodded, took out a wanted poster for a Fanxin, and said, "I have all the wanted posters for pirates here. Looking at your face, I already know who you are. It's nice to meet you. My name is Qiangwei."

Fanxin Xin nodded, then grabbed the girl's wheelchair and took her directly into Wolf Valley.

"This is my home, and all my crew members are inside. You can get along well with them." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "As for safety, you don't need to worry at all. There's a formidable figure with the strength of Admiral here."

"Admiral?" The girl, Qiangwei, was slightly startled upon hearing this and asked, "Who is it?"

"Li Kecheng, the Black Man, hehe, although he's not Admiral, his strength is in no way inferior to Admiral. You'll be absolutely safe here," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

Qiangwei looked at Fanxin and said, "No wonder you're not afraid of the Celestial Dragons. So you have such a powerful ally! No wonder!"

Admiral is a terrifying figure. If someone offends Celestial Dragons, the Navy will at most send one Admiral and ten warships to deal with the thug. But Fanxin has an Admiral- level figure protecting him, so naturally he has nothing to fear.
