The Battle Begins (3)

"Hehe, you're willing to talk now? Come on, I've been waiting for you." Bingfeng said with a smile.

Although she didn't know about it, and it didn't matter to her, it would make things much easier for her if she did.

So, she still wanted to know. Now that she had such a good opportunity, she naturally wouldn't let it slip by easily.

"We were sent by Blackbeard," Nana said with difficulty.

"Are you sure you're not lying to me? Those people told me earlier that you were invited by the Big Mom." Bingfeng paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said.

Those people are now frozen in ice, because they did things they shouldn't have done.

"Hmph, they're just trying to distract you. Their goal is to get you to go after the Big Mom, then watch you two fight it out, and then they can reap the benefits," Nana said.

"Oh, are you sure what you're saying is true?" Bingfeng countered.

Nana might be lying; she knows she's not going to survive, but she can use this opportunity to mislead them and make them act recklessly.

If they target the wrong person for revenge, they will definitely suffer.

"Hmph, why would I lie to you? I'm in this state now, what use would it be for me to deceive you?" Nana retorted, clearly displeased.

"Heh, you're right, you really are useless now. Alright, I'll believe you this once," Bingfeng said. "However, I can't let you go yet, because you're our opponent and pose a threat to us."

This Nana is very strong. If she pretends to be pitiful and blends in with them, they are very likely to suffer.

Therefore, for safety's sake, she decided to temporarily tie her up and let them go after they left.

"Whatever you like," Nana said.

Bingfeng walked over and immediately handcuffed the other person with Seastone Handcuffs, making escape impossible, since the Seastone key was in her possession.

If the other party wants to escape, they will have to wear those handcuffs forever, which is very inconvenient.

After dealing with the situation, Bingfeng withdrew her power. The other party was now a prisoner, and she no longer needed to target them.

"Alright, you can stay here for now. We'll let you go after we've dealt with those guys," Bingfeng said.

After she finished speaking, she sat down.

Nana randomly found a spot and squatted down.

The ice packs on her body were gone, but she was still shivering because the cold had seeped into her body and made her very uncomfortable.

However, this condition will gradually improve before long.

Not long after, Wang Yan emerged from underground. She had reconstituted her body; her previous body had been destroyed by her opponent.

"Why aren't you dead?" Nana was puzzled and resentful. She was a prisoner, yet the other party was still unharmed; it was truly unbelievable.

"Heh, I told you, you can't kill me, but you wouldn't listen." Wang Yan took out a cigarette, lit it, took a few puffs, and said, "How many of you came this time? Tell them to stop hiding and come out. Your sneak attacks are useless against us."

They possess both Haki perception and the ability to probe the souls of Fanxin. With this dual detection ability combined, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to approach them silently.

They can detect anyone who gets within fifty meters and react accordingly.

So instead of sneaking around, it's better to go out and fight it out, and settle things once and for all.

This is good for everyone.

"Hmph, we're not working together, we're just on the same mission. So, I can't order them around. You might be unhappy, but you'll just have to put up with it," Nana said with a smile.

They weren't a group, but a temporary team formed for the same goal.

If things succeed, they will immediately separate and each seek their own path.

If things fail, they might die because of this mission.

They had already thought everything through.

Therefore, she could no longer command others. Of course, others could not command her either.

"Oh, I see. No wonder you were attacked and no one came to your rescue. It seems your team is unreliable," Wang Yan said.

If it were them, they would absolutely rush to the rescue if their companion were in trouble, even if it meant risking everything to save them.

"There's no way around it, we're all assassins, cold and ruthless. Nobody wants to be stabbed in the back, right?" Nana said.

"Hehe, since that's the case, then you can just wait here patiently. If they don't come out, it might take us a while longer," Wang Yan said.

"Okay, well, I'm already like this, it's unlikely I can even jump around like this anymore," Nana said.

Her physical abilities have been damaged, and she needs to rest properly. It will be impossible for her to fight for a while.

"Hmph, good to know," Wang Yan said.

"Alright, Bingfeng, let's not go anywhere else. Build a fence and completely enclose this area," Wang Yan said.

She didn't want to run around anymore because the island was too big. If they got here and the assassin left, they might not be able to find him even if they worked themselves to death.

Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she decided to wait here and wait for the rabbit to come to her.

"Alright." Bingfeng nodded slightly and said.

As she spoke, she immediately created an ice wall, completely enclosing the area.

It's obvious that once the assassin arrives here, they will definitely notice the anomaly.

After everything was settled, the three of them waited there.

Langyue wandered around alone; it didn't need any companions because it was confident in its own fighting abilities.

Originally, Sun Zhijian and Lin Haicheng planned to team up with it. However, Langyue refused, wanting to fight the assassin alone.

Left with no other choice, Sun Zhijian and Lin Haicheng had to let it be.

Langyue wandered around but didn't find the assassin.

Left with no other choice, it continued on its journey into the distance.

An hour later, Langyue suddenly stopped, because it sensed something was amiss behind it.

Langyue slowly turned around and looked behind her. Behind her, a man holding a sharp longsword was looking at her.

He planted the sword in the ground and stared at it silently.

The man was wearing a mask, obscuring his face. However, his eyes were incredibly sharp, clearly indicating that he was no ordinary person.

"Are you the assassin who's trying to kill us?" Langyue asked, looking at the other person.

"Not bad, I didn't expect my opponent to be a wolf. Oh well, what can I do? You're a member of the Heavenly Soul Pirates. But don't worry, I'll be very gentle," the masked man said.

"Heh, do you think you can kill me?" Langyue was immediately displeased upon seeing the masked man's attitude.

The man's eyes seemed to tell it that it was already his.

"It's just a wolf. Killing it would be a piece of cake for me," the man said.

"Such arrogance! In that case, let me see just how capable you are," Langyue said with dissatisfaction.

This was the first time it had ever seen such an arrogant person. This guy dared to target it like this, so naturally it wouldn't be polite.

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with a beast like you anymore. I have other things to do, so I won't say any more," the man said. As he spoke, he picked up his long sword and walked step by step towards Langyue, seemingly about to attack her.

Langyue snorted coldly and headed towards the other party.

The two walked towards each other, and only stopped when they were only ten meters apart.

"If you surrender, I can give you a quick death," the man said.

"Hmph, I'll say the same to you," Langyue said with a cold snort. It would never surrender, not even if it died in battle, because it was too proud.

"Is that so? You seem quite arrogant, but let me tell you, Little Wolf, you can't be so cocky." With that, he swung his longsword and slashed at Langyue, a sword aura rushing straight towards her.

Langyue sensed the attack and immediately dodged, avoiding it. Then, it began to counterattack.

It swung its claws, countless claws, straight at the man, each one aimed at his vital points.

However, the man was not someone to be trifled with; he leaped away and dodged the attack.

Immediately afterward, he launched an attack, slashing several times in succession, forcing Langyue to retreat.

However, Langyue was enraged and immediately unleashed the power of her third eye. Endless darkness spread outwards from it.

In no time, darkness enveloped the area within a ten-mile radius.

Here, it reigns supreme. Even if you possess Haki, it's extremely difficult to sense its presence.

This is because it was given power by the Wolf God.

The Wolf God gave it this ability so that it could save its life. If it encountered a powerful opponent that it couldn't defeat, it could use this ability to escape.

Because this ability covers a very wide area, and it can also block out Haki.

It can block the other party's senses, so you can easily escape.

However, it did not rely on this ability to escape, because it had always used it as an aid in battle.

After taking care of things, Langyue quietly headed towards the man.

The man looked extremely pale because he could no longer see anything around him.

This makes it extremely difficult for him to defeat his opponent.

"Damn it, what the hell is this?" the man asked, annoyed.

"Hehe, this is good stuff, kid. Just bear with it! I'll be there soon," Langyue said with a smile.

"Hmph, trying to restrict me with this, Little Wolf, let me tell you, that's absolutely impossible," the man said unhappily.

"Is that so? In that case, let's wait and see." Upon hearing this, Langyue smiled calmly and said.

"Since you're courting death, don't blame me, kid. I'll make you understand the consequences of offending me," the man said.

"Oh, really? Then I'm really scared," Langyue said dismissively.

"Go to hell!" The man snapped, and launched an attack.

He swung his longsword wildly, hacking around aimlessly, because he couldn't see and that was all he could do.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Langyue gradually approached the other person until she was not far from their side.

"Hmph, trying to fight me? You're asking for death." Langyue said, exhaling a wisp of poisonous gas.

This is wolfsbane, and its venom is much stronger than that of ordinary wolves. This is because it is already very powerful, and in addition, it has received a gift from the Wolf God, causing its body to undergo tremendous changes.

Its functions in all aspects have been optimized to the extreme.

Wolfsbane is naturally even more potent.

The wolfsbane flew away and soon touched the man. However, the man was unaware of it.

Furthermore, even if he did notice, it would probably be difficult for him to avoid it.

Because it spread the wolfsbane in all directions, effectively sealing off the enemy's territory.

Furthermore, since he couldn't see it, he naturally didn't know how to avoid it.

Seeing that the man was afflicted with wolfsbane, Langyue chuckled and did not continue her attack.

Because it's waiting for the wolfsbane to take effect. Once the wolfsbane takes effect, the man will be powerless to fight back, and at that point, it can do whatever it wants with ease.

The man, unaware of what was happening, continued hacking and slashing wildly for a long time without stopping, because he was worried that Langyue would launch a sneak attack.

More than ten minutes later, the man suddenly became so angry that he squatted on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

His face turned pale and his lips turned purple; he was in great discomfort.

"What did you do to me?" the man asked with difficulty.

"Hehe, you've been poisoned, it's wolfsbane," Langyue said. "It must be uncomfortable."

"When did you...?" The man's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he asked.

"Just now, I said this thing is good. It might not be good for you, but it's very good for me," Langyue said.

"Damn it, if you're so capable, then don't resort to such underhanded tactics," the man shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, how is this underhanded? It's clearly a good method, isn't it?" Langyue said, dissatisfied.

"Go to hell!" the man said, furious.

"Alright, kid, stop criticizing me. You've gathered so many people to attack us, so it's understandable that we might do something to you," Langyue said. "Besides, as assassins, what dirty things haven't you done? So, stop talking."

Since they've all made their moves, it naturally won't hold back either.

"Hmph, you think you can cure me of the wolfsbane?" the man said.

"Hmph, that's impossible. I have no obligation to do that. Alright, enough said. Now, I'll send you to meet the King of Hell," Langyue said impatiently.

The other party is already defeated, and it doesn't want to get entangled in this matter any longer. Therefore, it plans to finish things off as soon as possible.
