Surrounded (1)

"Alright! I'll listen to you for now." Ren Fang nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry! In a few months, we won't need to hide anymore. At that time, whoever we run into, if they're targeting us, we won't let them get away with it," Fanxin said with a smile.

His Soul Tower is almost complete, but it's still a little short of completion. Therefore, he can't act rashly for now and can only wait.

Once the Soul Tower fully formed, he will have nothing to worry about.

"Okay, I understand," Ren Fang replied.

After that, they said no more and focused on their cultivation.

The ship continued its journey on the seabed without surfacing.

Three days later, the ship finally returned to the sea.

Fanxin thought that after three days, those guys wouldn't be chasing him anymore. However, he seemed to be wrong. As soon as they came out, they were surrounded by several ships.

All roads in all directions were blocked. Fanxin wanted to leave, he would have to fight his way out.

Those ships were filled with Four Emperors Big Mom's subordinates, who were waiting for Fanxin to appear in this area.

The reason they were so quick and accurate was that those individuals mobilized most of their manpower and various pirate crews under their command, sending them to scout the area.

With so many people searching for Fanxin from all directions, he will Fanxin be discovered as soon as he shows himself.

This time, those people were determined to capture Fanxin and took Caesar away.

"Boss, it seems we miscalculated?" the Little Black Cat said helplessly.

"Heh, it seems these guys take us seriously, sending so many pirate crews." Fanxin glanced around and said, "In that case, there's nothing we can do but fight."

He originally intended to hide for a few months, but now that all his options were blocked, he had no choice but to leave.

If he doesn't fight, he'll only be captured.

"Okay, I'll go prepare right away," the Little Black Cat said.

"Yes, go!" Fanxin nodded, then walked step by step to the bow of the ship, looked around at the people, and said, "You are all so determined, are you prepared to die?"

Most people here cannot stop him; only a very few can. And most of them will die in the battle.

If these guys voluntarily withdraw, then he won't bother with them. However, if they remain stubborn, he'll have no choice but to take Fanxin action.

"Hmph, brat, we've been looking for you for ages, and you've finally shown yourself. Now, I'm telling you, your death is nigh. Hand over Caesar, and perhaps you can die a little more peacefully," a man with long white hair and wearing a black cloak said coldly.

He had a long sword at his waist and two sharp horns on his head, making him look rather strange.

He exuded a murderous aura that was so intense that most people dared not approach him.

His name is Dillon, a powerful warrior under Big Mom's command. The fact that Big Mom sent him out is proof enough of how much she values Caesar.

"Hmph, I thought I had a way out. Since there's no way out, I won't hand it over," Fanxin said immediately upon hearing this.

He wouldn't hand Caesar over, and the result was death. He did hand Caesar over, and the result was still death. Since the outcome didn't change, he naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to hand Caesar over.

In one instance, he had never intended to hand over Caesar, and this was his consistent response regardless of any threats.

"What? You won't hand it over? You're provoking us, understand?" Dillon said.

"Yes, so what? Do you think you can destroy me?" Fanxin Xin said calmly, "I advise you not to daydream, or you'll die a horrible death."

He is very strong, comparable to Admiral; it's impossible for the enemy to kill him easily.

He didn't take the other person's tone seriously at all.

"Hmph, just a bunch of brats. Do you know how terrifying the New World is? You've only just arrived and you already disrespect your elders. You're incredibly arrogant. Today I'll show you what happens when you don't know the rules," Dillon said.

"Hehe, is that so? Then I'll see whether you, the senior, are more powerful, or I, the junior, am more powerful." Fanxin chuckled and said, "You'd better give it your all. It wouldn't be good if you were defeated or even wiped out by me, the junior."

"Hmph, you can't do it," Dillon said confidently.

"Alright, let's give it a try!" Fanxin sneered, then sat down in a grand chair. He beckoned to Wang Yan and said, "Wang Yan, you go in this battle! Teach that guy a good lesson and show him how powerful we are."

He didn't make a move because Four Emperors Big Mom wasn't coming. So, he was too lazy to bother.

Wang Yan is very capable, and he believes Wang Yan will not let him down.

"Understood." Wang Yan nodded with a smile upon hearing this, and walked forward step by step to stand on the front deck.

She was dressed in a revealing red outfit, making her look alluring and captivating. She glanced around and said, "Hey, who's involved? State your names!"

"Oh, isn't Fanxin going to make a move?" Dillon asked, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Our captain disdains to fight you; I am more than capable of dealing with you," Wang Yan said.

"Hmph, arrogant and conceited. Since that's the case, then I'll deal with you first." Dillon was somewhat displeased upon hearing this. He had come for Fanxin this time, but Fanxin hadn't made a move.

Although he was dissatisfied, Dillon understood that he had to deal with Wang Yan first. Because Wang Yan was standing in front of Fanxin. If he couldn't defeat Wang Yan, he wouldn't be able to get close to Fanxin at all.

In that case, he would have no chance to target Fanxin.

"Come on!" Wang Yan said, immediately activating her ability. A moment later, her hands turned into lava. The lava slid down her hands and dripped onto the deck, immediately making a hissing sound.

"I'm about to begin, so watch out!" With that, Wang Yan pointed a finger at Dillon. A moment later, a bullet formed from magma shot straight towards Dillon.

Dillon glanced at it and immediately dodged. The bullet passed him and struck a pirate.

The pirate was unlucky; he was pierced through by the lava bullet. However, he didn't die; he rolled around on the deck, screaming in agony.

Wang Yan showed no pity for his screams. After all, they were their enemies, so she had no reason to pity them.

"You'd better not try to hide, or your ship and your men will be in trouble," Wang Yan said with a smile. "Of course, if you don't care about that, then disregard what I said."

Upon hearing this, Dillon's face darkened considerably. Wang Yan's words were tantamount to forcing him into a direct confrontation.

"Hehe, here I go." Wang Yan chuckled and launched his attack again.

This time, her target wasn't just Dillon, but also Dillon ships. She didn't spare any of the ships that surrounded them.

Wang Yan's madness infuriated Dillon.

Left with no other choice, he could only order everyone to be careful. He then walked on air and headed straight for Wang Yan.

Wang Yan is the real culprit. Only by taking down Wang Yan can Wang Yan be prevented from attacking his subordinates and ships.

"Hmph, you want to mess with me? Fine, I'll play along." Wang Yan snorted and said.

With that, she put on her Flight Armor and flew into the air.

Then, she launched a series of attacks on Dillon. Lava rained down on the Dillon.

Dillon didn't dodge; with a Tempest Kick, he cleaved through all the lava. Then, he leaped over the lava and charged straight at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan glanced at it, gave a cold snort, and stepped forward to meet it. Soon, the two clashed.

The two sides seemed to be evenly matched, so Dillon couldn't do anything to Wang Yan, and Wang Yan couldn't defeat Dillon either.

The two sides remained locked in a stalemate, unable to determine a victor for the time being.

Neither side launched an attack; both were looking up at the sky.

"Boss, who do you think will win?" The Little Black Cat jumped onto Fanxin's shoulder and asked curiously.

"It's a draw," Fanxin said after a moment's thought.

He glanced at them and saw that Wang Yan and this man Dillon seemed to be evenly matched in strength. Therefore, it would be very difficult for them to determine a winner.

If they insist on fighting to the death, the only result will be mutual destruction.

Fanxin has nothing to fear. Because they have highly skilled doctors here, they can provide immediate assistance if Wang Yan is injured.

Furthermore, he was keeping an eye on things from above, and would immediately mobilize if Wang Yan's life was in danger. In this way, Wang Yan had no worries at all, and could focus solely on fighting.

"No way! Wang Yan's special skill is incredibly powerful. If she were to use it, even you probably wouldn't be able to withstand it," the Little Black Cat said.

Wang Yan's special skill is that she can transform into magma. Once she uses it, the entire area around her becomes her territory, and there is no way she can escape.

"Hehe, that skill is indeed impressive, but don't forget where we are now. We're at sea, so her skill can't be used at all. Even if it could be used, its power would be greatly reduced due to the seawater," Fanxin said with a smile.

Wang Yan's special skill only works if it's used unexpectedly. He already knew about Wang Yan's skill, so he could easily avoid it if Wang Yan wanted to use it.

Now, he no longer needs to dodge when fighting Wang Yan, because he knows all of Wang Yan's moves.

"Hmm, that makes sense." The Little Black Cat thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's keep an eye on things, but also keep an eye on what's happening over there. Those guys are not to be trifled with," Fanxin said.

"Understood," the Little Black Cat nodded in response.

It then immediately mobilized robots to guard all four sides, ready to launch an attack at any time.

Seeing that the Little Black Cat had begun to plot, the pirates over there immediately started to act as well.

They all adjusted their cannons, ready to fire at any moment.

The two sides were on the verge of exchanging blows, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze at that moment.

Fanxin Xin chuckled and ignored those guys. His people were prepared and had him under their protection.

Even if he sits still and doesn't move, nothing will happen to him once a battle breaks out.

Wang Yan stood in front of him, the Little Fox stood to his left, the Little Black Cat stood to his right, and Bingfeng stood behind him.

He sat in the very center, as steady as a mountain.

Both sides are currently exercising restraint, wanting to wait until the outcome is decided in the air before making a decision.

In the air, Wang Yan was engaged in close combat with Dillon. Actually, she was at a disadvantage because she couldn't unleash her full power while in the air.

She couldn't unleash her full power because her lava could incinerate the armor. Without her armor, she wouldn't be able to engage Dillon in aerial combat.

If she could fight as she pleased without any restrictions, it would be impossible for Dillon to handle it so easily.

However, even so, Wang Yan still managed to keep Dillon occupied, preventing Dillon from advancing an inch.

Dillon looked at Wang Yan with an extremely ugly expression. He had previously said that Wang Yan had suffered a great loss.

However, after so much time, Wang Yan was still lively and energetic in front of him, while he himself seemed to be struggling.

If things continue like this, he may ultimately lose, which would be extremely disadvantageous for him.

"Hehe, what's wrong? Are you in a hurry? Don't worry, I haven't had enough fun yet, I won't kill you for now," Wang Yan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Dillon was so angry that his nose almost twisted; Wang Yan's words were tinged with sarcasm, implying his incompetence.

He's incredibly strong; he's definitely not incompetent. He just happened to run into a formidable opponent.

Now, he's blocked the way and can't advance an inch.

"Don't get cocky, I haven't even used my full strength yet," Dillon said.

"Really?" Wang Yan said with a smile, "Then show it! Your current moves are becoming increasingly unbearable to watch; they're just too weak."

Wang Yan spoke without any politeness, causing Dillon's eyes to turn red and then pale.

"Hehe, don't be embarrassed, that's just how it is," Wang Yan said with a smile.

Dillon scoffed and said, "Hmph, don't try to provoke me with your words. Let me tell you, I won't be affected by you."

"I didn't mean to provoke you, I was just telling the truth," Wang Yan said. "Alright, if you can't do it, then give up. It'll save me a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Dillon replied, "You're dreaming. I haven't admitted defeat yet."

"Hmph, you can't beat me, and our captain hasn't even made a move yet. So the outcome is already decided, isn't it?" Wang Yan said. "There's no need for us to continue fighting. If you keep bothering me, then I won't be polite."

"Hmph, now I'll show you what I'm capable of. Watch closely, and don't be intimidated," Dillon said coldly.
