Subduing Them (1)

The Little Fox and Fanxin raced side by side, heading into the distance. After traveling at high speed for half an hour, they stopped on a deserted island.

The deserted island wasn't large, smaller than their pirate ship, but it was large enough for them to settle down on.

"Boss, what should we do next?" The Little Fox looked at the dozen or so murderous, roaring monsters approaching, its expression growing increasingly grave. If they couldn't deal with these monsters, their situation would be very troublesome.

"Hehe, don't worry! They'll all die, it won't affect us." Fanxin glanced at them, his expression calm, and said with a smile.

Seeing Fanxin so calm, the Little Fox felt a little relieved. It knew that Fanxin must have a way to deal with these monsters, otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm.

"Tell me, what should we do next?" the Little Fox asked.

"You use repulsive force to attract the magical beasts one by one, and I'll kill them one by one," Fanxin said. "However, I can only kill one at a time, so while I'm attacking, you can't let the other magical beasts interfere with me, understand?"

"I can do that, don't worry." Upon hearing this, the Little Fox pondered for a moment and understood Fanxin's plan. He intended to defeat the magical beasts one by one and eliminate them.

If the monsters hadn't gone berserk, it would have been in a real predicament. After all, although these monsters were beasts, they weren't stupid at all; they were quite intelligent. Once it knew their plans, it would probably devise a countermeasure to interfere with them.

However, the monsters are now completely out of control and no longer use their brains to think; they fight purely on instinct.

If manipulated properly, it can bring these magical beasts completely under its control.

"Then let's begin," Fanxin nodded and said.

"Okay." The Little Fox nodded, and its nine tails and two front paws began to move.

It controls nine tails and one forepaw, using repulsive force to blast away any monsters that try to charge. One of its claws, however, uses gravity to attract one of the monsters, drawing it toward the island.

Under its perfect control, the other magical beasts were kept at a distance and could not get close, while the flying serpent was sucked in by it.

The flying snake grew faster and faster, and eventually, without the Little Fox needing to intervene, it charged forward on its own.

Sensing something amiss, the Little Fox simply stopped making a move and let the flying snake fly over on its own.

Fanxin seeing the flying serpent charging towards him, Fan Xin immediately enveloped his two diamond blades with Haki. He then raised his blades, ready to defend himself as the flying serpent drew closer.

The flying serpent had gone berserk and was completely unaware of the danger ahead. So, it continued to rush forward at high speed, and when it was less than fifty meters away from Fanxin could no longer wait and slashed fiercely at it.

Shoot Shoot

Two red sword energies, imbued with earth-shattering power, burst forth from the diamond blade and headed straight for the flying serpent.

Because the two were very close, the sword energy quickly reached the flying snake and finally slashed at its body.

The crimson sword energy, with an extremely domineering force, pierced through the flying serpent's hard body, ultimately splitting it in two.

"Ah..." A scream escaped from the flying serpent's mouth. It briefly regained its senses, its eyes filled with terror. However, it was too late. The sword energy tore its body apart and destroyed its soul. It was beyond saving.

A moment later, the flying serpent's soul dissipated, turning into countless specks that drifted into the air. Its body, however, plummeted into the sea, its crimson blood staining the area a horrifying sight.

Fanxin felt no pity; if he didn't kill these creatures, they would tear him apart and eat him.

Since the two sides are sworn enemies, there's no need for him to be merciful.

"Next." Fanxin withdrew her gaze and spoke coldly.

"Hehe, okay." The Little Fox nodded, its face full of excited smiles. These guys' bodies were incredibly sturdy; even without using Haki, they were comparable to steel.

It attacked them repeatedly for a long time, but failed to destroy their bodies, which frustrated it greatly.

However, the sword energy of the Fanxin could tear their bodies apart and destroy their souls, giving it hope of annihilating them.

Without hesitation, the Little Fox released another magical beast. It was a huge lion, but it had a pair of wings on its back, making it look very strange.

It charged forward, its eyes blazing red, and it roared.

Fanxin prepared himself again, ready to launch an attack. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he sheathed his diamond knife.

The Little Fox was slightly taken aback by Fanxin's actions and asked in confusion, "Boss, what are you doing...?"

"I plan to use Soul Clan Secret Technique to deal with them. If it succeeds, we might have a few more magical beasts in the future," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Oh, are you sure?" the Little Fox asked excitedly.

These magical beasts are incredibly powerful; following them would undoubtedly boost the overall strength of the fleet.

"Fifty percent, I guess." Fanxin wasn't entirely sure either, but after thinking for a moment, she gave a more plausible figure.

"Then let's give it a try," the Little Fox nodded and said.

"Well, if that doesn't work, we'll try the method we just used," Fanxin said immediately.

These monsters have gone mad and are targeting the Little Fox. He cannot allow the Little Fox to be killed, so if he cannot control them, he will choose to hunt them down mercilessly.

"Okay." The Little Fox nodded.

Without further hesitation, Fanxin condensed a fragment of his soul, controlled it, and shot it towards the flying lion.

The split soul flew away swiftly, entering the other person's mind through their brow.

Once inside, the Fanxin soul discovered a very special blood-red symbol in its mind. The symbol exuded a bloody and murderous aura, disturbing the lion's mind and driving it mad, making it unable to control itself.

His divided soul drew closer step by step, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, for he too was somewhat affected. Moreover, the closer he got, the greater the influence became.

"This thing is rather strange." Fanxin's divided soul frowned. If he didn't get rid of it, he wouldn't be able to control it.

However, even he was affected, so it will probably be very difficult for him to remove this symbol.

"Never mind, let's give it a try." After a moment's hesitation, Fanxin suddenly hardened. He gritted his teeth, used his Soul Power to condense a long spear, and then thrust it at the blood-red symbol.

Bang

The spear struck the crimson symbol, but the crimson symbol did not collapse, nor even leave a trace.

Fanxin frowned, feeling that this was a tricky situation. If they couldn't break the blood-red symbol, the Little Fox would probably be in serious trouble.

"Since I can't break it, I'll just swallow it whole. I refuse to believe I can't handle you." Fanxin snorted coldly. The crimson symbol ignited his fighting spirit. His divided soul mobilized countless Soul Power, transforming them into a Soul Power bag that enveloped the crimson symbol.

Immediately, he sat cross-legged and began to refine the blood-red symbol.

Under his control, the Soul Power bag began to erode the crimson symbol. The crimson symbol was not obedient and began to resist.

Fanxin snorted coldly and continued to mobilize his Soul Power to envelop the blood-red symbol and erode it.

When the Fanxin mobilized its Soul Power to erode the crimson symbol, the crimson symbol did nothing else but struggle against it.

A glint flashed in Fanxin's eyes; he saw the weakness in the crimson symbol and knew that this might be his chance to defeat it.

He chuckled and mobilized a massive amount of Soul Power to frantically erode the crimson symbol. Soon after, Fanxin suddenly noticed that the light on the crimson symbol had dimmed somewhat, indicating that his method was effective.

Fanxin smiled slightly, then increased the intensity of his attack again.

After a few minutes, the crimson symbol dimmed and finally shattered completely.

In the instant the crimson symbol shattered, Fanxin discovered that the previously frenzied flying lion had suddenly quieted down, and its bewildered state gradually returned to clarity.

"Don't attack me again, or I'll kill you, understand?" The Fanxin's divided spirit spoke slowly, its voice echoing in the flying lion's mind. Its tone was cold, causing the flying lion to tremble and dare not resist.

"Understood, understood," the flying lion said in a trembling voice.

"Hmph." Fanxin snorted lightly, and her divided soul flew away without lingering.

Outside, the Little Fox saw that the bloodshot in the flying lion's eyes had completely faded, and a relieved smile finally appeared on its face.

Fanxin succeeded, which means his method was effective. If he continues, he can gain a powerful fighting force, and it is happy for Fanxin.

"Boss, you did it! Let's continue," the Little Fox said with a smile.

"Okay." Fanxin nodded and said with a smile, "However, this time I'm not going to do it one by one."

"Do you really want to solve this all at once? Isn't that too much to ask?" The Little Fox asked, startled and somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. That thing is troublesome, but I can handle it," Fanxin Xin said confidently.

The crimson symbol could be eroded away with enough Soul Power, and as a member of the Soul Clan, he had no shortage of Soul Power. The air was filled with Soul Power, which he could absorb and make useful to himself.

"Alright then, just be careful." The Little Fox said no more and focused on controlling the magical beasts.

Fanxin smiled and immediately separated more than a dozen soul fragments, sending them into the minds of those magical beasts.

In their minds, Fanxin saw the same scene after scene, his entire mind turned upside down by the blood-red symbol. He snorted coldly and without hesitation mobilized a massive amount of Soul Power to envelop the blood-red symbol and begin to erode it.

After half an hour, the blood-red symbols became dull and eventually shattered.

The berserk monsters also came to their senses and became tense again when they saw Fanxin in their minds.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Now, you've broken free of control and are free," Fanxin said calmly.

"Did you save us?" the monsters asked. They had been in a frenzied state and didn't know what had happened.

"That's right, you were controlled by the Third King's secret techniques and attacked my companions frantically." Fanxin said with some helplessness, "I had no choice but to kill a flying serpent. However, I didn't go all out against you, because I thought of a gentler method. You have now returned to normal."

"Thank you," the black fox said gratefully, then asked angrily, "Where is the Third King?"

It was menacing, clearly dissatisfied with the Third King and ready to cause him trouble.

The other monsters roared in anger, creating a chaotic scene.

"He's been killed; his body is in the sea." Fanxin smiled, then asked, "What are your plans now?"

"We can't go back; we have no choice but to live here." The black fox pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you have any good suggestions? We're unfamiliar with this place; would you be willing to show us the way?"

The other magical beasts also looked at Fanxin with anticipation in their eyes.

Fanxin looked troubled and said, "That's not a problem, but I'm traveling at sea and not very familiar with the surroundings, so I'm afraid I can't point you in the right direction."

After a pause, Fanxin suddenly laughed and said, "Of course, if you don't mind, you can come with us on our trip. After we finish our trip, you can live at my residence. It's a big place, enough for you to live in."

His tone clearly conveyed an invitation. Earlier, he hadn't taken the opportunity to control these dozen or so magical beasts, although he could have, he didn't like controlling them, and even found it somewhat repulsive.

So he immediately dismissed the idea and prepared to talk to the monsters and persuade them to submit willingly. He felt that this relationship, based on friendship, was more reliable than control.

"Okay, I agree." Upon hearing this, the black fox nodded in agreement without hesitation.

The other magical beasts followed suit, suggesting that the black fox held a special position among them.

"Aren't you going to reconsider?" Fanxin was slightly taken aback. Weren't these guys worried that he would betray them?

"No, you saved our lives, you wouldn't harm us." The black fox waved its paw, sealing its fate.

Fanxin Xin nodded, no longer dwelling on the matter, and said with a smile, "In that case, you shall come with me!"

He was secretly delighted. He had acquired more than a dozen magical beasts, instantly increasing his combat strength by more than ten. In the future, when they encountered powerful enemies, these magical beasts would definitely be of great help.

Not only that, but when he returns, these dozen or so magical beasts can also help him guard his home. Anyone who dares to cause trouble on his territory is simply courting death.

"Good!" The monsters cheered, flying and roaring excitedly.

Once they calmed down, Fanxin said, "Your bodies are too large. Why don't you go into my Diamond World first?"

These magical beasts were enormous; the two of them combined were even slightly larger than his ship. A dozen or so of them stacked together blocked out a section of the sky.

If he took them on a trip like that, he doesn't know how many people he would frighten. He doesn't want to attract that much attention.

"No need, we can change our size now." The black fox chuckled, and with a thought, its body shrank at a visible speed. After several dozen seconds, the black fox became the same size as the Little Fox.

Fanxin looked on in surprise, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"We'll transform too." The other magical beasts followed suit and began to transform.

Finally, they all turned into little animals, which looked very cute.
