A Sudden Counterattack (2)
"Hey, why are you back?" Fanxin asked, unaware that she had interfered with Qiangwei's plans.
"Sigh, you've made so much trouble, I can't even move now!" Qiangwei said dejectedly. "Fine, you guys go ahead and do your thing, we'll just watch. Our goal is the same anyway, to fight the Celestial Dragons."
She was quite uninhibited because she just wanted to see the Celestial Dragons suffer; it didn't matter who attacked them.
"I'm so sorry, big sister, I didn't mean to. I just couldn't control it." Chen Yuning said somewhat apologetically when she saw Qiangwei complaining.
Although she could control the weather in this area, she couldn't control every single detail. Therefore, it was unavoidable that her actions interfered with the Qiangwei.
"Little girl, don't apologize. It just shows how capable you are, surpassing your older sister," Qiangwei said. "However, next time something like this happens, you must let me have my way, understand?"
She and Chen Yuning cannot attack at the same time, because Chen Yuning's attacks can interfere with her. If they act at the same time, one of them will inevitably be unable to use their abilities.
"Okay, let's talk about it next time! This time, I won't be polite." Chen Yuning nodded slightly and said.
"That's excellent." Qiangwei nodded and said, looking at her.
After that, they all fell silent and watched intently as Chen Yuning launched her attack.
Under Chen Yuning's attacks, the island is being swallowed up by the sea step by step.
Everything around it had been completely devoured, leaving only the central part.
Just as the seawater was gradually approaching, a sudden change occurred in the center of the island.
Several tall robots emerged from the central area and looked outside.
"Damn it, who's causing this trouble? Show yourself!" a blood-red robot roared.
Such weather had never occurred here for countless years. Therefore, it believed it was not a natural disaster, but a man-made one.
"You hiding in the shadows, come out right now, or I'll make you regret it!" a jet-black robot roared.
Its eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for traces of Fanxin and the others. It exuded murderous intent; if it hadn't failed to find Fanxin and the others, it would have already made its move.
"He must be nearby. Find him and kill him!" a golden robot shouted.
These robots exuded a terrifying aura; clearly, they were all quite powerful.
After they finished speaking, they began their search.
Fanxin led everyone to hide. He didn't rush out to face the three robots directly because he wanted to think about a strategy, since there were three of them. Although they had four, Qiangwei and Chen Yuning's attacks would take time to launch. The two of them couldn't be considered as their next fighting force.
"What should we do?" the Little Fox asked.
"We have no choice but to fight it out," Fanxin said. "However, Qiangwei and Chen Yuning must return to the Diamond Space."
Although their abilities are unique, it takes time to activate them. If those robots figure out their weaknesses, they will definitely suffer losses.
"Yes, that's natural." The Little Fox nodded, offering no objection.
"You don't have any objections, do you?" Fanxin asked in a low voice, looking at Qiangwei and Chen Yuning.
"I'll listen to my big brother," Chen Yuning said obediently.
Although Qiangwei was somewhat reluctant, she eventually agreed. She couldn't help it; her strength was inferior to Fanxin's, and staying would only be a burden. She didn't want to cause Fanxin any trouble.
"That's good." Fanxin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two of them agreed. If they had both objected, he would have been in a real predicament.
"Alright, you can go in now," Fanxin said.
Chen Yuning and Qiangwei nodded and immediately returned to the Diamond Space.
"What's our next move?" the Little Fox asked immediately.
"Is I planning to capture one of the robots?" Fanxin said. "It's unrealistic to kill them all. However, capturing one is quite possible."
"Why do you want to catch one and take it back?" the Little Fox asked curiously.
"I want to know what these robots are all about. If we can figure it out, we might be able to develop a new type of weapon," Fanxin said.
This is the Celestial Dragons' base; Celestial Dragons must be researching something here. If he finds out, he might understand Celestial Dragons purpose. Knowing Celestial Dragons purpose would allow him to plan his actions against them.
"Okay then!" the Little Fox said. "I can use my ability to pull someone over. Then, the two of us can target that robot at the same time, and we should be able to subdue it."
"That's good. But the other robots are a problem. You'll need to lend a hand then," Fanxin said.
These three robots are all very powerful. If he can take on one of them, the other two certainly won't stand idly by. At that point, if all three of them charge at him together, he won't be able to handle it.
Therefore, he needs the Little Fox's help; once it intervenes, it can easily handle the situation because it possesses the ability of repulsion.
If it helps him hold off the enemy for a while, he'll be able to deal with the lone robot.
"Of course, don't worry!" the Little Fox said, nodding.
"Alright, in that case, let's begin!" Fanxin nodded and said.
Having said that, he didn't hesitate any longer and immediately drew his twin swords. He imbued them with Haki, ready to fight.
The Little Fox then grew larger again, and once it did, it immediately extended its front paws and aimed at the robots.
However, it didn't act immediately. It wanted to wait until the robots got closer before making its move, which would increase its chances of success.
The robots discovered the foxes' tracks immediately after the Little Fox transformed into big foxes.
Then, they quickly headed towards where the Little Fox was.
They were incredibly fast; in no time, they had covered hundreds of miles.
The Little Fox aimed at the blood-red robot, standing ready to launch an attack at any moment.
After waiting a few minutes, the Little Fox stopped talking and immediately launched an attack, using its "Lure" technique to directly target the blood-red robot.
A moment later, the crimson robot was pulled along, its body involuntarily moving towards where the Little Fox was.
The Little Fox didn't let go, holding onto the other creature as it raced towards it.
The crimson robot tried to break free, but it couldn't. The Little Fox's power was too overwhelming; breaking free was extremely difficult.
The golden robot and the black robot saw the blood-red robot being pulled away and immediately began to give chase.
Fanxin Xin stood beside the Little Fox, brandishing his twin swords, ready to strike at any moment.
"Damn it, kid, didn't you already leave?" The crimson robot saw Fanxin and was furious.
It hadn't known who was attacking it before; it thought it was a stranger. But now it understood—it was none other than Fanxin, who had been here before.
It was furious because it had made a deal with Fanxin. Logically, Fanxin should have already left! But he was still there, so naturally it was angry because Fanxin had broken the agreement.
"Hehe, I'm a pirate, and pirates don't care about agreements. So, I'm sorry," Fanxin chuckled and said.
"You bastard, you'll die a horrible death!" the crimson robot roared, enraged.
"Hmph, you're the ones who deserve to die a horrible death. You know perfectly well what you're researching here. You're fooling people, which makes you untrustworthy. Since you don't keep your promises, why should I?" Fanxin chuckled dismissively.
"Kid, this is none of your business, why are you meddling?" the blood-red robot said.
"That's because I have a grudge against the Celestial Dragons. They ordered an attack on my family, tearing it apart and forcing most of its members to sacrifice their souls. That's why I hate them," Fanxin said. "And you are the Celestial Dragons' lackeys, so naturally I won't let you get away with it."
"I'm sorry, I accidentally saw a sign inside. Since that's the case, I can't just stand by and do nothing."
"Boy, do you know what the consequences will be for offending the Celestial Dragons? You're making an enemy of the entire world!" the crimson robot threatened. "Surrender now, and you might at least have a decent corpse. Otherwise, you'll die a horrible death."
It is forcing Fanxin to realize Fanxin own limitations.
Upon hearing this, Fanxin couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "So what if I'm going to die in the end? Since I'm going to die anyway, why bother about how I die?"
He didn't care how he died; he was going to die anyway, so there was no need to worry.
"Kid, there are many ways to die. There are painful ways to die and joyful ways to die. If I use the kind of death that makes you wish you were dead, you'll be scared," the crimson robot roared.
"Heh, forget it. I don't need to try. Do you know why?" Fanxin shook his head and said, "It's because I'm strong enough. You want to kill me? That's impossible. Besides, I also want to tell you that my relationship with the Celestial Dragons is already one of mortal enmity. I've fought the Celestial Dragons and interfered in their affairs."
"I offended them a long time ago, but they still haven't caught me. So, your threats are nothing to me. Therefore, please stop threatening me."
"If you want to kill me, you must take me down by your own skill. If you can't, then there's no need for further nonsense."
