A Trapped Beast (2)

His face was full of disdain, as if Fanxin looked down on him.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin laughed and said, "Hehe, kid, don't talk big. Let me tell you, this is definitely not an ordinary Little Fox, but a super powerful Little Fox!"

He was telling the truth. The Little Fox has a long list of achievements. He has attacked the Shichibukai, fought Marine Admiral, and even managed to defeat one of the Four Emperors.

Who would dare ignore such a powerful Little Fox? That would be tantamount to courting death.

He looked at Longquan with a sorrowful expression, knowing that the other man's fate would be dire.

"Pshaw, I don't believe it. How powerful can a thing the size of a head be?" Longquan said with a look of disbelief.

"Hehe, believe it or not, it's up to you," Fanxin said with a smile. After saying that, he winked at the Little Fox, meaning that it could make its move without any hesitation.

The Little Fox nodded and immediately walked to the front, facing the cheetah and Longquan directly.

"Alright, now it's your turn. I'm your opponent. Come on, are you coming at me all at once, or one by one?" the Little Fox shouted.

"Hehe, little guy, you're so small, I could slap you to death with one hand." Longquan chuckled and said contemptuously.

"Hmph, you can't do it," the Little Fox said.

"Is that so? In that case, I'll let my cheetah deal with you first, so you won't say I'm bullying you." Longquan pondered for a moment and said.

"You're arrogant. Let me tell you, anyone who's arrogant will die a horrible death, and you're going to die a horrible death soon," the Little Fox warned.

This guy has been looking down on it, which really annoys it. It's decided to give that bastard a good beating.

"You'd better beat my cheetah first. If you can't even handle it, you're not qualified to fight me, understand?" Longquan said smugly.

"Alright, I'll deal with your cheetah first." The Little Fox looked at the cheetah and said, "Come here and let me, your fox master, teach you a lesson."

The cheetah, seemingly understanding human nature, was immediately displeased to see the Little Fox looking down on it. It glared at the Little Fox and hissed, a warning to the Little Fox not to be so arrogant.

The Little Fox glanced at it, then rushed over and punched the cheetah on the head.

Shortly afterward, the cheetah was knocked away and landed far away.

Longquan was stunned, somewhat incredulous. It was just a Little Fox, much smaller than a cheetah. Yet, the force of its punch was so great; it was truly unbelievable.

However, the facts are the facts, and there's nothing you can do if you don't believe them.

"It's alright, the best is yet to come," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

The Little Fox hasn't even used its full strength yet; if it grows larger, the force it exerts will only be greater.

Now, its strength is less than a tenth of its peak. Therefore, he can conclude that the cheetah is doomed.

Unless Longquan comes to help, the Little Fox will absolutely not let the other party go.

"Hmph, my cheetah was just careless just now," Longquan retorted.

"Is that so? Then let's wait and see," Fanxin said with a smile.

Longquan snorted coldly, looking ahead. He was confident that his cheetah could definitely take down that Little Fox.

Fanxin watched calmly, doing nothing.

The Little Fox was very strong, and he knew this perfectly well from their journey together. Therefore, he could basically predict what would happen next.

That means the Little Fox won, and the cheetah was either killed or half-killed.

Longquan and Fanxin stood there watching.

In the distance, the Little Fox walked step by step towards the cheetah.

Approaching the cheetah, it sneered, "Hey, big guy, get up! You're so big, but you're so weak?"

Upon hearing this, the cheetah immediately sprang to its feet, glaring angrily at the Little Fox, wishing it could devour the tiny creature.

It had almost never lost a battle, but it had actually been knocked away by a tiny creature, which made it very unhappy.

"What's with the 'fierce' attitude? If you want to fight, then come at me," the Little Fox said provocatively, beckoning with her finger.

It's deliberately provoking the other party; once the other party is angry, it can seize the opportunity to strike and teach the other party a lesson.

Seeing the Little Fox's provocation, the cheetah was indeed burning with anger. It snorted coldly and immediately began to transform. Soon after, it became a cheetah-man.

It grew taller and taller, and the Little Fox looked even smaller in its presence.

The cheetah was arrogant; it thought it could now slap the Little Fox to death.

However, the Little Fox remained calm in the face of the cheetah's domineering presence, saying, "My body has grown bigger, but I wonder if my strength has improved. Hehe, never mind, let me give it a try."

With that, the Little Fox attacked again, heading straight for the cheetah.

It threw a punch, ready to finish off its opponent.

However, this time the Little Fox's attack was ineffective because the cheetah's body had become harder, making it difficult for it to kill its opponent with a single punch.

Its body bounced back, and the Little Fox couldn't help but gasp in surprise. It was the first time it had ever encountered something like this.

"Hehe, how about that? My cheetah just wasn't using its full strength earlier. Now, it's your Little Fox who'll suffer." Longquan said with a smile. He was very pleased with himself, feeling that victory was in his grasp.

"Hehe, it's only just begun, don't jump to conclusions so early," Fanxin said, shaking his head.

The Little Fox hasn't shown its full potential yet; it's too early to predict the outcome.

"Really? Heh, you just don't want to admit it," Longquan said disdainfully.

"Say what you will, but I have to tell you this," Fanxin said upon hearing this. He didn't like arguing with people anymore, because it didn't make much sense.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's wait and see." Seeing that Fanxin was unwilling to say more, Longquan didn't press the matter and watched intently.

The Little Fox took a few steps back, looked at the cheetah, and said, "Heh, not bad, you do have some skills. But unfortunately, I also have some skills. So, from now on, you're the one who'll suffer."

As the Little Fox spoke, it immediately began to transform. In no time, it grew to be as tall as a cheetah.

Not only that, it could have continued to grow taller, but it didn't.

It felt that this warning was enough to deal with the guy.

"Hehe, alright, now we're both the same size. Next, let me teach you a lesson!" With that, the Little Fox made its move.

It aimed at its opponent and unleashed a powerful blow. Soon after, the cheetah was blasted away, flying a great distance.

Its body crashed through the trees, snapping many of them in the process.

A few minutes later, the cheetah finally stopped.

The Little Fox didn't stop there; it took flight and began its pursuit.

Once they reached a spot where the cheetah was visible, the Little Fox launched a series of attacks, causing the cheetah to flee in terror.

The cheetah was furious and tried to retaliate several times, but it never had a chance to get close to the Little Fox.

The Little Fox can attack it from a distance; unless its speed is extremely fast, it cannot inflict any damage on the Little Fox at all.

It was helpless, but there was nothing it could do.

"How about it?" Fanxin looked at Longquan and said, "My Little Fox is more powerful than your cheetah, isn't it!"

Upon hearing this, Longquan's face darkened, and he said, "Hmph, don't be so smug. My cheetah hasn't even exerted its full power yet."

He refused to believe it, because he had always been skeptical of the Little Fox, but now it had defeated his most prized cheetah, making him lose face.

"Heh, is that so? In that case, let's just wait and see." Fanxin smiled calmly upon hearing this and said no more.

He knew Longquan valued his reputation, so he would spare him some face for now. However, he believed that it wouldn't be long before Longquan's expression turned even uglier, because the Little Fox had unleashed its ultimate move, and the cheetah had no chance of turning the tide.

Longquan snorted coldly and continued looking ahead. However, the anxiety in his eyes revealed that he was not at peace with himself.

Ten minutes later, the Little Fox returned and went to Fanxin's side. The cheetah also returned, but it was dragged back by the Little Fox, pulled by its hind legs.

The cheetah looked miserable, its body covered in blood and gore. If it weren't for the faint breath it still had, everyone would have thought it was dead.

Even so, it will likely take the cheetah quite some time to recover.

However, Fanxin showed no mercy to the other party; daring to target him was the consequence.

The Little Fox was already being very lenient by not killing its opponent on the spot.

"Alright, the battle is over. Do you want to continue fighting us, or what?" Fanxin asked.

He sent the Little Fox into battle to demonstrate his strength and force the opponent to back down and stop getting entangled with him.

Now that the Little Fox has dealt with the arrogant cheetah and proven their strength, he naturally doesn't want to continue fighting.

Of course, if Longquan insisted on it, then he would have no choice but to accept it.

"Hmph, the battles between beasts are merely appetizers. Our battle has not yet begun," Longquan said, looking at Fanxin.

His voice was cold, like a biting wind, making people feel very uncomfortable.

However, Fanxin felt nothing at all, because he was no longer an ordinary person.

"It seems you still insist. In that case, we have no choice but to continue fighting," Fanxin said.

"That's for sure," Longquan said.

"In that case, I'll be your opponent." Fanxin said, turning to his companions behind him, "All of you, go back to the ship and wait for me there. I'll come find you as soon as I've finished dealing with this."

He didn't want everyone involved; Longquan was an assassin, and more deaths wouldn't solve the problem.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, then turned around and prepared to return to the ship.

However, at that moment, a huge light barrier descended from the sky, covering the entire island and instantly turning it into a secluded place.

The group was trying to get out, but suddenly discovered that the road was blocked. Not only that, they couldn't get out of other places either.

Everyone told Fanxin the news. Upon hearing it, Fanxin looked at Longquan and said, "What do you mean by this?"

"Hmph, I came here this time to wipe out your Heavenly Soul Pirates, so none of them can leave; they will all die here," Longquan said with a smile.

"Such arrogance! Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?" Fanxin said with dissatisfaction.

"Heh, perhaps, but you can't get out of here unless you kill all of us," Longquan said.

"Fine, since that's how it is, then don't blame me for being impolite." Fanxin said, he wasn't one to be trifled with either; if they dared to target him like this, he would definitely not be polite.

"Heh heh, just you wait, you'll die, all of you will die." With that, Longquan, carrying the cheetah, vanished in a flash.

Fanxin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Everyone, from now on, except for Bingfeng, Wang Yan, Little Fox, Little Black Cat, Lin Haicheng, Sun Zhijian, Jesse, Langyue, and the rest of you, go back into the Diamond Space. Do you understand?"

When dealing with skilled assassins, numbers alone won't solve the problem. Assassins are highly capable, and their assassination skills are exceptional.

Although their companions are strong, their reaction speed is slow. As a result, they will inevitably suffer a great loss.

He didn't want everyone to die here; it wouldn't be worth it. They were enough to deal with those assassins.

"Understood," everyone shouted.

"Alright, come in now," Fanxin said.

With that, he opened the entrance to the Diamond Space and let everyone in.

Without hesitation, everyone went inside. A few minutes later, only the people Fanxin had just selected remained outside.

Fanxin then closed the Diamond Space entrance and said, "The assassins are strong, and their assassination skills are outstanding. Therefore, you must be extra careful from now on, understand?"

Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood.

"Yes, in order to accurately determine their location, I have placed a clone formed from a wisp of your soul within each of you. This way, they will have nowhere to hide," Fanxin said.

Some people are very good at hiding, making them difficult to detect. Because of this, they can carry out assassinations without anyone noticing.

However, no matter how good their stealth abilities are, as long as he uses his Soul Perception, he will definitely be able to find them.

This is why he placed a Soul Clone in each person.

"Understood," everyone nodded in response.

After that, Fanxin said no more. He separated several souls and condensed them into palm-sized clones.

Fanxin told them to put away his Soul Clone before saying, "Alright, now you can form teams and start hunting those guys. Once we've finished hunting them down, we'll leave."
