Fierce Battle (3)
Everyone nodded, and then immediately returned to their respective posts.
With their pursuers gone, they relaxed considerably. Fanxin returned to his bedroom to cultivate once more. However, this time, he brought someone with him: Ren Fang.
As for matters outside, he left them all to Bingfeng and Wang Yan.
They are both mature and steady, so there is no problem for him to hand over command of the fleet to them.
Once inside the room, Fanxin didn't immediately begin training. Instead, she sat down with Ren Fang and started eating.
They had been fighting outside for a long time and were starving.
"How is your cultivation of your abilities progressing?" Fanxin asked.
Recently, he has been entrusting all his work to Ren Fang. Ren Fang has been busy and has had little time for training, so he is a little worried that Ren Fang might fall behind in her studies.
"It's alright! But because I've been delayed recently, my progress might not be as fast as it was a while ago. But don't worry, I'll catch up," Ren Fang said.
"Yes, we must catch up, otherwise it will be very dangerous," Fanxin said.
As the journey progressed, their situation became increasingly perilous. Therefore, they had to increase their strength in order to cope with all the dangers.
He can't protect Ren Fang forever; Ren Fang needs to work hard so that she can protect herself.
"I understand, don't worry!" Ren Fang said.
"Mm," Fanxin nodded.
"And you? You've been staying in your room lately, what have you been cultivating?" Ren Fang asked curiously.
"I'm practicing soul combat techniques. I destroyed the original Soul Tower and am now rebuilding Soul Tower," Fanxin said.
"Why destroy it?" Ren Fang asked, puzzled.
"Alas, I had no choice. The Soul Tower Spirit made me destroy it, saying that if I didn't fall into the Soul Tower, I wouldn't be able to reach the strongest level," Fanxin said.
"The Soul Tower Spirit? That thing is alive too?" Ren Fang said.
"Probably! Anyway, I'm not really sure," Fanxin said with a smile.
"Since it said so, then just do as it says," Ren Fang said.
"Yes, I think so too."
Fanxin said, "Since doing as it said, he feels he has more and more control over himself. It seems it wasn't lying."
"That would be even better!" Ren Fang said.
"Okay, let's cultivate together! Let's increase our strength as soon as possible," Fanxin said.
Ren Fang nodded slightly, offering no objection.
Then, the two began cultivating simultaneously. Ren Fang cultivated her demonic abilities, while Fanxin cultivated her soul.
Inside the room, everything fell silent.
Outside, the Bingfeng steered the ship forward.
Wang Yan sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the scenery outside, lost in thought for a long time.
They never imagined they would live like this; they had thought they were going to die long ago. But now, not only have they survived, they are living such a comfortable life.
They are very happy with their current life.
"Bingfeng, where do you think we'll go when the trip is over?" Wang Yan asked.
They need to think about it; the trip will eventually come to an end. Then, they'll probably all be scattered in different directions.
They need to find a good place for themselves, otherwise they'll just wander around like headless flies.
"I don't know, do you have any good places to go?" Bingfeng shook his head and said.
She hadn't thought about it at all, so she had no idea where to go.
"I hadn't thought about it, but now I have to," Wang Yan said.
"What are you thinking? Just follow Fanxin, isn't that enough?"
Bingfeng said, "Wolf Valley in the Fanxin is wonderful! We can live there from now on!"
Wolf Valley has nine levels, each level being a world unto itself, more than enough for them to live in.
"Yes, that is indeed a good place." Wang Yan nodded slightly in agreement.
Wolf Valley is now almost complete, and it has changed completely. It used to be very desolate, but now it's a beautiful place with lush mountains and clear waters, a perfect place to retire.
"What are we even thinking about? We're going to live there. Doesn't our Fanxin allow it?" Bingfeng said.
They were good friends, and she believed that Fanxin would definitely not refuse.
"That makes sense, let's do it that way then!" Upon hearing this, Wang Yan also felt that it made sense.
"Bang..."
Just as they were talking, the ship suddenly began to rock. They were startled, and immediately turned on the monitor to see that a huge Sea Kings was blocking their way.
It was a huge sea lion, its mouth agape and spitting blood, seemingly about to devour their ship.
Although their ships were large, they were still tiny Sea Kings.
"Bingfeng, you take care of that Sea Kings," Wang Yan said.
Bingfeng's power is ice, dealing with it would be a piece of cake for her.
"Understood." Bingfeng nodded and immediately left the control room, going outside. Wang Yan immediately took over her work.
Once outside, Bingfeng discovered that many crew members had come out, and the robots were lined up, ready to launch an attack.
"Stop! I'll handle this guy," Bingfeng shouted.
Sea Kings are not easy to deal with. If you can't kill them in one blow, they will stir up trouble and keep you from having any peace.
Ordinary weapons are completely useless against Sea Kings. Those giants require weapons with much greater destructive power.
"Yes." Everyone nodded slightly in response.
After that, they said no more, put away their weapons, and retreated.
Bingfeng then walked to the bow of the ship, facing the sea lion directly.
"Hey, you big guys, get out of my way, do you hear me?" Bingfeng shouted. If the Sea Kings left on their own, she could let them go. However, if they were stubborn, she wouldn't be so polite.
Despite her reprimand, the Sea Kings did not leave, but instead glared at the Bingfeng with displeasure, as if it felt that the Bingfeng was provoking it.
It roared and lunged at the Bingfeng.
Enraged by the other party's blatant disrespect, Bingfeng conjured an Ice Sword, wielded it, and soared into the air, heading straight for the Sea Kings.
The Sea Kings was furious when it saw a tiny human ignoring its existence and heading straight for it.
It swung its claws and lunged at the Bingfeng, seemingly trying to tear Bingfeng apart.
Bingfeng snorted coldly, flew into the sky, and unleashed a sword strike. Moments later, countless Ice Spike hurtled towards the Sea Kings.
Those Ice Spike weren't ordinary Ice Spike; when they landed on the Sea Kings, they immediately began to Bingfeng it Sea Kings.
However, to Bingfeng's surprise, what she thought would be a sure thing turned out to be Sea Kings. The Sea Kings was completely unaffected and shattered the ice blocks. As a result, her attacks were ineffective.
"Hmph, you beast, still want to resist? You're practically asking for death." Bingfeng was annoyed and immediately swung his longsword towards the Sea Kings.
She quickly landed on the Sea Kings's head, gripped her Ice Sword tightly with both hands, and thrust it vertically towards the Sea Kings's head.
She wanted to use this to pierce through the Sea Kings's nagging.
The Sea Kings seemed to know Bingfeng's intentions, and immediately sank into the sea and disappeared. It seemed to want to force Bingfeng away.
However, the Bingfeng wasn't so easily driven away, because her power was now ice. Once in the water, she immediately Bingfeng the surroundings, rendering the Sea Kings immobile.
However, this Sea Kings seemed unusual; it was completely unafraid of the ice. It rampaged around, and soon all the ice collapsed.
The Bingfeng attack failed once again.
"Damn, this guy is amazing! What kind of species is he?" Bingfeng was stunned. Her abilities were very strong, but they had repeatedly failed her in front of this Sea Kings.
"This should be an ice-attribute Sea Kings; it's not afraid of your ice abilities." Wang Yan emerged, glanced at it, and said.
The Sea Kings moved freely under the power of the Bingfeng, seemingly fearless. This indicates that it also possessed ice attributes; otherwise, it would have been severely affected.
"What can we do? This guy is much bigger than me, I can't control him," Bingfeng said.
"Then I'll do it. You go and watch the ships," Wang Yan said.
Since ice abilities are ineffective against her opponent, she can use magma abilities to deal with them.
"Alright." Upon hearing this, Bingfeng did not object and immediately returned to the ship, leaving the battlefield to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan approached the ship, looked at the sea lion, and said, "Looks like you're quite something. But it's a pity you've run into me."
Without further hesitation, she activated her magma power, looked at her opponent, and prepared to attack at any moment.
The Sea Kings sensed the scalding magma and seemed to detect danger. It immediately retreated, preparing to return to the center of the seabed.
"Hmph, trying to leave now? Don't you think it's too late?" With that, Wang Yan didn't say anything more and threw a punch.
A moment later, a blood-red magma fist flew towards the sea lion and finally struck the Sea Kings on the forehead.
The magma had a strong melting ability, and in no time, it melted the Sea Kings's head, creating a huge hole that stretched from one side to the other.
The Sea Kings roared, then breathed its last, floating on the surface of the water, unable to move.
"Alright, you guys get to work and get the meat from this Sea Kings onto the ship. It'll be enough for us to eat for a while," Wang Yan said, turning around to look at everyone.
Sea Kings meat is delicious; if you're a good cook, you can definitely make a delicious dish from it.
"Understood, Captain." Upon hearing this, everyone immediately sprang into action.
Wang Yan returned to the control room and instructed Bingfeng to temporarily stop the ship.
The Sea Kings are too big; it will take the brothers quite a while to harvest the delicious food from Sea Kings. Therefore, they cannot leave here for the time being.
"Let's stop for a moment!" Wang Yan said.
Bingfeng understood Wang Yan's meaning and immediately stopped the boat.
After everything was settled, the two sat in the control room, leisurely drinking and chatting.
Three hours later, someone reported that everything was settled. Only then did they start the boat and head off into the distance.
They traveled on without encountering any more Sea Kings.
"I see them up ahead." As they left, a submarine surfaced from the seabed, and moments later, people emerged from the cabin.
These people were none other than the guys who had been following Fanxin.
They attacked Fanxin's ship for the first time, but unfortunately, Fanxin's ship had sensors that detected it immediately, preventing them from succeeding.
This time, they didn't get too close, fearing they would be discovered and their entire operation would be ruined again.
"What should we do? Should we launch an attack?" a Red Hair man said.
"Not for now. Did you see that Sea Kings? They took it down in one hit. It will take us a lot of time to wipe out a Sea Kings. The difference in strength between us and them is quite significant," said a bald man.
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the enormous skeleton in the distance—the skeleton of a sea lion, whose flesh had already been cut away by Fanxin's men.
The fact that they could so easily kill such a gigantic Sea Kings speaks volumes.
They could do it, but it would take them a considerable amount of time. Therefore, the gap between them and Fanxin is still quite large.
If they go there to cause trouble now, they'll only be creating more problems for themselves.
"That makes sense. Let's be patient for now!" the Red Hair man said. "However, we also need to report to our superiors. We can't handle this ourselves; we'll have to ask them to step in."
If you try to force yourself to do something you can't do, you're only asking for death. If you're lucky, you might survive. But if you're unlucky, you're doomed.
He didn't want to die, especially knowing that death was inevitable, so he was even less likely to run away.
"That makes sense, let's do it that way then." The bald man agreed.
They then sank the submarine into the sea, where it disappeared.
Once they reached the seabed, he contacted his superiors and ordered them to deal with Fanxin and his group. They would then follow behind, ensuring they wouldn't lose Fanxin.
Once the higher-ups arrive, they can immediately launch an attack and surround Fanxin.
After they finished, they followed slowly behind.
Fanxin and the others, who were walking ahead, were unaware that they were being followed. However, even if they did know, Fanxin probably wouldn't bother to care.
Because they have a lot of fighting power, they are not afraid of those guys at all. They can handle any situation, no matter how difficult it gets.
Anyone who dares to provoke them will face their merciless retaliation.
Therefore, they don't care too much about those stalkers; as long as those people don't attack them, they can completely ignore them.
