Soul Pierce (1)

Fanxin and the others simply watched without making a move.

Wang Yan alone can easily handle those ships. Unless a master comes, those ships will probably not return tonight.

However, while their ideas were good, reality often works against them.

Soon, many figures flew out of the ship, each one possessing extraordinary strength. As soon as they appeared, they rushed towards this direction at high speed.

The void was like flat ground to them, very easy to navigate.

"Beastman Tribe?" Fanxin glanced at it and was completely stunned.

"Yes, it seems that the First King has a close relationship with the Beastman Tribe." Bingfeng walked over, his brows furrowed.

The Beastman Tribe are incredibly powerful; each one is essentially a human who has eaten Zoan Devil Fruit. Their combat strength is frighteningly powerful, and no one dares to set foot on their territory.

Among those charging forward, at least thirty were Beastman Tribe. Such a formidable fighting force posed a considerable challenge even to them.

"Now that we're here, there's no reason to back down," Fanxin said. "Let each of us choose our opponents."

"Understood," everyone shouted.

Immediately, they each selected their targets and launched their attacks.

Fanxin drew his diamond knife, looking at the Beastman Tribe, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes.

"Since you've come here seeking death, don't blame me." Fanxin sneered, lightly stomped his right foot on the ground, and transformed into a cannonball, shooting into the sky.

Soon, he appeared beside a tiger-headed, Beastman Tribe man.

Upon appearing, Fanxin immediately gave his opponent a rude awakening, unleashing a sword strike that sent a sudden burst of sword energy hurtling towards his opponent's chest. He was very close to his opponent, making it difficult for him to dodge.

However, the Beastman Tribe man with a tiger's head and a human body was ruthless; he summoned his Haki and withstood the attack head-on.

Despite being protected by Haki, the tiger-headed, human-bodied man still suffered a silent loss; the immense impact was entirely absorbed by him, damaging his internal organs.

Strike while the iron is hot. His Fanxin, without the slightest pause, surged forth once more.

He slashed the tiger-headed, human-bodied man in the chest with all his might, making the blow even more powerful than the previous one.

Bang

The tiger-headed, human-bodied man was sent flying by the impact.

"Soul Technique, Soul Pierce." Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fanxin used the Soul Clan Secret Technique, Soul Pierce.

The so-called "Soul Pierce" refers to inserting a wisp of soul into the opponent's body when the opponent is completely unprepared.

This thing is like a time bomb; once it explodes, the opponent will suffer excruciating pain. At that point, when he strikes, he can render the opponent utterly helpless.

A wisp of dark soul swiftly entered the mind of the tiger-headed, human-bodied man.

The tiger-headed, human-bodied man was initially very wary, but Fanxin, this fierce tiger, kept staring at him, forcing him to concentrate on fighting against Fanxin.

As for that wisp of ghost, he didn't bother with it much.

"We're inside. Now, let's have some fun with him." Fanxin pondered for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Oh, with so many Beastman Tribe, let's all use Soul Pierce. That way, it'll be easier for everyone."

As he spoke, he chuckled, a very eerie laugh.

The tiger-headed, human-bodied man stared intently at Fanxin, his expression grave. He had pushed his combat power to the limit, ready to deal with Fanxin's counterattack at any moment.

Fanxin looked at the other party but did not immediately make a move. Instead, he split his soul, creating dozens of ghosts, and then took the opportunity to spread them out.

Under his control, those ghosts hid in the void, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

As long as those Beastman Tribe remain, their minds will be unfocused, and the ghosts will seize the opportunity to enter. At that time, they will only suffer losses.

Having dealt with all that, he then looked at the man with a tiger's head and a human body. The man tensed up as soon as he noticed Fanxin looking at him.

"Hehe, you seem quite afraid of me?" Fanxin said calmly as he walked towards the man.

The tiger-headed, human-bodied man raised his aura to its peak before saying, "You're very strong; I could tell from those few moves."

"You shouldn't have come here to cause me trouble. If you had, you might still be alive." Fanxin shook his head regretfully and said, "But now you can't go back, because I'm going to kill you."

His opponent was weaker than him; killing him would be very easy for him.

"Hmph, I admit, you're strong, but if you want to kill me, you're dreaming." The tiger-headed, human-bodied man shook his head, looking completely unconvinced.

"Why are you so sure I can't kill you?" Fanxin asked curiously.

"Because I'm very good at escaping, I can't beat you, but if I want him to run, you're no match for him," the tiger-headed, human-bodied man said smugly. Clearly, he had previously used his advantages to escape from several experts. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident.

"I'm no stranger. You might be able to escape from others, but escaping from me is impossible," Fanxin Xin said confidently.

"Is that so? Then let's give it a try." The tiger-headed, human-bodied man clearly didn't believe Fanxin's words. He kicked off the air and flew away into the distance.

He was going to show Fanxin his ability to escape.

Fanxin watched without giving chase, but a strange smile crept onto his lips.

"Run away? It's useless. My ghost can control you no matter where you are. Because that ghost is also me." Fanxin Xin chuckled and immediately contacted the ghost, instructing it to begin its actions.

Upon receiving the order, the ghost immediately began attacking the soul of the tiger-headed, human-bodied man.

It devoured the man's soul like a wild beast. With his soul damaged, the tiger-headed, human-bodied man could no longer endure it, clutching his head and screaming in agony.

He could no longer control his body and fell, eventually plunging into the sea.

"Come back, and you can live." A voice suddenly rang in his mind.

The tiger-headed, human-bodied man trembled and immediately swam towards the battlefield. He knew this was Fanxin's move, but it was too bizarre, leaving him helpless.

Fanxin was waiting for him at the bow of the boat. Seeing him return, Fanxin immediately smiled and said, "Didn't you say you could escape? But it seems you failed this time!"

"What did you do to me? Why does my head hurt so much?" The tiger-headed, human-bodied man climbed out of the water and stood beside Fanxin. He was soaking wet and looked quite disheveled. However, he didn't care about that and stared intently at Fanxin, as if trying to see through him.

Undeterred, Fanxin stepped forward and said, "You've probably heard the rumor that I'm a member of the Soul Clan."

"You used the Soul Clan's soul secret technique on me?" The tiger-headed, human-bodied man's expression changed slightly; he was completely alarmed.

The Soul Clan is terrifying and bizarre; their techniques target the soul, and one wrong move can lead to dire consequences.

Although he had never fought against a real member of the Soul Clan, he had heard of the Soul Clan unpredictable and mysterious nature.

If Fanxin truly used Soul Clan Secret Technique, then his defeat was not unjust. Of course, he was even more alarmed and trembling; he had actually offended a member of the Soul Clan —wasn't this courting death?

"Indeed, the technique I just used is called Soul Pierce. I released a wisp of a ghost into your mind when you weren't looking. Since you're not a member of the Soul Clan, you can't expel it," Fanxin said. "Therefore, it will remain in your head until the day you die."

"If you oppose me, that ghost will move and devour your soul. At that time, you will be in unbearable pain and will have no will to fight me. Heh, you must have experienced that feeling firsthand just now."

Upon hearing this, the tiger-headed, human-bodied man couldn't help but tremble, a hint of fear appearing in his eyes. Just now, he had been in excruciating pain, and even now, his head was still throbbing.

"What do you want?" the tiger-headed, human-bodied man asked, forcing himself to speak.

He knew he was powerless to resist Fanxin; the other party had placed a ghost in his mind, a death warrant for him. If he resisted, he would only die faster.

"Tell your men to stop," Fanxin said calmly.

"Is it that simple?" the tiger-headed, human-bodied man retorted.

"Do you think that's possible?" Fanxin sneered. If the other party came to kill him, he would not let them go easily.

"What else is there?" The tiger-headed, human-bodied man smiled bitterly, knowing he was no longer in control of his own destiny; he either died or obeyed.

However, he didn't want to die, so he had no choice but to obey.

"Help me attack the First King's island," Fanxin said with a smile after a moment of contemplation.

He wasn't going to be easily bullied; he wasn't going to let his opponent do whatever they wanted. Since they had attacked first, he would naturally retaliate.

"Do you think it's possible to succeed?" The tiger-headed, human-bodied man frowned, somewhat hesitant.

He knew very well how powerful that First King was, and killing him was no easy task.

Although Fanxin is quite strong, he is probably still a bit short of being able to deal with this notorious gang leader who has been in the business for many years.

"Do you think I can't succeed?" Fanxin asked with a half-smile.

"It's impossible to succeed. That guy not only has us by his side, but he can also mobilize all the gangs in the entire Riot Sea. If you go against him, you're making an enemy of the entire Riot Sea. Do you understand?" the tiger-headed, human-bodied man said earnestly.

"I understand that, but so what?" Fanxin retorted.

Yes, no matter how powerful the other party is, so what? If I want to take action, I will still take action. The initiative is in my hands, not in someone else's.

"You're courting death," the tiger-headed, human-bodied man emphasized again.

"I can fight against Admiral, and I've even clashed with the Four Emperors," Fanxin said calmly. "No matter how powerful they are, they can't devour me. I know what I'm doing."

"Are you sure you want to do this?" The tiger-headed, human-bodied man frowned deeply, seeing that he couldn't dissuade Fanxin.

If it weren't for his Fanxin controlling him, he wouldn't care what Fanxin wanted to do.

"That's right, of course you can quit. However, you must leave with your people, otherwise..." Fanxin Xin gave him a chilling look, his killing intent released without any concealment.

This was a warning: if the other party insisted on opposing him, he would not let them off easily.

The tiger-headed, human-bodied man couldn't help but tremble. The murderous aura emanating from Fanxin was just as powerful as that of the First King. This guy is no pushover either, the tiger-headed, human-bodied man sighed softly.

"Make your own choice," Fanxin said. "Once you've made your choice, if you decide to leave, then do it as soon as possible. Don't worry, as long as you don't interfere with me, I will retrieve my ghost. But if you cause trouble, then..."

"Don't worry, we absolutely won't interfere in your affairs," the tiger-headed, human-bodied man said first.

He knew Fanxin's ruthlessness; this seemingly refined fellow was actually quite difficult to deal with. Once he went berserk, they would likely all be slaughtered.

These were his companions, and he didn't want to watch them die.

"That's good." Fanxin waved her hand, dismissing the other person.

The tiger-headed, Beastman Tribe members, discussed the matter briefly, and then left without further involvement.

The reason he left so readily was because he heard that his companions seemed to have ghosts inside them.

He glanced at Fanxin with apprehension. Who would dare offend someone so terrifying, capable of placing things inside another person's body so stealthily?

So, without lingering at all, he led everyone away in a flash.

Seeing them leave, Fanxin somewhat helpless. These guys were very powerful. If they had helped him attack the First King's territory, his life would have been much easier.

However, he didn't want to force others; if these guys refused, then so be it.

"Sigh, why let them go? Wouldn't it have been better to resolve everything?" The Little Black Cat swaggered over, somewhat disgruntled.

Those guys launched the attack, but nothing happened to them, leaving it extremely frustrated.

"Hehe, these guys are from the Beast Kingdom. We'll be passing through the Beast Kingdom after we leave here. If we kill them, those guys might not be friendly to us," Fanxin said with a smile.

"So that's what you're worried about." The Little Black Cat Satori.

"It's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy," Fanxin said. "Besides, from today onwards, they definitely won't stay here any longer, because they know that staying here means they're making an enemy of me. They're afraid of being my enemy."

"So, they'll go back to the Beast Kingdom. If we go there, they'll most likely put in a good word for us. That way, we won't be targeted."

"Alright, since you seem so thoughtful, I won't say anything more." The Little Black Cat nodded slightly and asked, "What about the others?"

Fanxin glanced at the ships and said calmly, "You decide what to do."

Without the Beastman Tribe' help, those guys are useless. He couldn't be bothered to even lift a finger.

"Alright, I'll go." The Little Black Cat gave a sinister smile that sent chills down one's spine.
