Flowing Iron Fists (1)
This guy's blood was ice-cold to the extreme, beyond redemption. This made him murderous; if they didn't deal with him, they wouldn't be able to escape, and the staff wouldn't be able to go down.
"Heh, how naive. Do you think you can do it?" The owner of the voice chuckled and said disdainfully.
"I can definitely do it." Fanxin coldly ordered, "Langyue, start the operation, send them away, and don't let them get involved."
"Ah, I understand." Little Wolf Langyue nodded slightly in response.
Then, without further hesitation, it immediately displayed its abilities.
First, it created a flock of giant air wolves, which then moved and swallowed all the workers and steel nails whole. With the protection of these giant air wolves, everyone was safe from injury.
Then, it used its power again, turning everything around it into giant wolves, including the iron walls. Moments later, countless huge holes appeared in the rear half of the ship.
Upon seeing this, the giant air wolves immediately rushed out and took to the air.
"Get them as far away from here as possible; this place is far too dangerous for them," Fanxin said. Langyue nodded and immediately set to work, directing the giant wolf to head into the distance. Only after they could no longer see the giant wolf did Fanxin finally relax.
"Heh, damn it, come out here. Now that they're gone, what can you use to threaten me?" Fanxin coldly glanced around and said.
He frowned slightly, because he couldn't find the other person, which frustrated him greatly; he didn't know where the other person was hiding.
"Hmph, you've got some skill, managing to create giant wolves to block my steel nails. But even if you rescue them, it'll be useless. They won't live much longer; they'll only be able to prolong their lives for a while," the owner of the voice said calmly.
"What do you mean?" Fanxin asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, all the metal in here is heavy metal, and heavy metal is poisonous. If you stay in here for a long time, your body will be infected by the poison. Their bodies will slowly become weak due to the toxicity of the heavy metal. They've been working here for several years, and their bodies are already extremely weak. Haha, what use are they to you taking them away?" The owner of the voice said with a laugh, "So, I don't care if you take them away. Anyway, I'm going to replace a batch soon, and those guys will be thrown away anyway."
"Damn it, your blood is so cold it's infuriating," Fanxin said coldly.
"Hmph, I'm a pirate, do you expect me to be merciful? Let me tell you, you little brat, don't talk nonsense in front of me, just die!" The owner of the voice was getting impatient and launched an attack on Xiao Fan.
Fanxin cautious, for he did not know where the attack might come from.
Bang
A moment later, the ship began to move, and the large holes slowly healed, quickly creating a sealed space. It was completely dark all around, and nothing could be seen.
"Be careful, they could attack at any moment," Fanxin warned.
"Ah, we understand." Langyue nodded, then created dozens more giant wolves to completely surround them, preventing the creature hiding in the shadows from launching a sneak attack.
"Haha, you're courting death, so don't blame me." Just as Langyue was ready to respond, the owner of the voice let out a strange cry and launched an attack.
The opponent's attack did not come horizontally, but was launched simultaneously from above and below.
Those were countless iron fists, uncountable, striking simultaneously from above and below, ready to bombard Fan Xin and his Fanxin. The giant Fanxin blocked their path, making escape impossible. This is why the owner of the voice said Fanxin was courting death, as they had blocked the sideways path.
Now, they only have one path to take: to face those iron fists. If they can't withstand those fists, they'll likely be beaten to a pulp.
"Damn it, this is infuriating!" Langyue shouted, clearly annoyed.
"Ah, don't worry, this is indeed a bit tricky, but we're currently inside the giant air wolf, so it will take some time for those iron fists to break through," Fanxin said.
"Is there any way?" the Little Black Cat asked. This guy is a bit troublesome; they haven't even seen him yet, but he's already attacked them. If they can't withstand the attack, they might very well be killed.
"Ah, I've got a plan, but to defeat them, we must leave this awful place and go outside. If we stay here, we'll only be able to defend ourselves passively, with no chance to retaliate," Fanxin nodded and said.
"Go out? Will we be able to deal with him if we go out?" the Little Black Cat asked.
"Ah, that guy can manipulate this steel. He can do whatever he wants inside, and it's very difficult for us to break through it. Then he can use oppressive methods to slowly shrink our range of movement. Once we have no room to move, we're doomed."
Fanxin said, "More importantly, this place has now become a closed space with limited oxygen. Once the oxygen runs out, we'll suffocate and lose consciousness. Hmph, at that point, we'll be completely at their mercy. Therefore, we must find a way to escape now. Once outside, we have plenty of ways to deal with him."
"Yes, Fanxin is right. We have to get out of here; we'll only get beaten up." Ren Fang nodded in agreement.
"Hmm, how do we get out of here? That guy's fists keep hitting us, we don't have a moment to breathe!" the Little Black Cat said.
"Langyue, this battle is entrusted to you. You will continuously create giant wolves to fight against the enemy. Is that alright?" Fanxin pondered for a moment and said to Langyue.
There was nothing he could do about it, because he didn't know where the other party was, and the other party could control every piece of steel here. Even if he worked himself to death here, he still couldn't defeat those steel pieces.
But Langyue is different. Although it can't defeat Steel either, it can create giant wolves to block those fists. Moreover, it can even transform those fists into its own giant wolves. Here, Langyue is the opponent's nemesis. Only when Langyue takes action can that guy be unable to defeat them.
"Ah, don't worry, I will do my best to hold them off," Langyue nodded and said.
"Okay, please. Little Black, go and dig a hole, use that high-temperature rod to melt this place. If you can melt it all, that would be best. Hmph, that guy must be human. Although I don't know why he can manipulate steel, humans can't withstand such high temperatures. Under such high temperatures, even if he doesn't die, he'll have to be careful." Fanxin said to the Little Black Cat.
"Ah, I understand." The Little Black Cat nodded slightly, and then immediately got to work.
Fanxin and Ren Fang followed closely behind, acting as its guards to prevent the guy who secretly controlled the steel from attacking Little Black.
After taking out the high-temperature rod, Little Black immediately pressed it against the steel wall. Without hesitation, it raised the temperature to one hundred million degrees Celsius. Moments later, the steel began to melt, and a hole the size of a fist appeared. As time went on, the hole grew larger and larger, eventually becoming larger than the Little Black Cat's body.
"Little Black, you go out first and do it from outside, go!" Fanxin Xin said to the Little Black Cat as soon as she saw that the hole was already quite large.
It's best if one person is outside while everyone at headquarters is inside, so that the Little Black Cat can cause trouble outside.
"Ah, I understand." The Little Black Cat nodded, grabbed the heat rod, and rushed outside.
Once outside, the Little Black Cat started making fires everywhere, creating holes here and there, which infuriated the guy who was secretly controlling the steel.
He originally intended to seal the ship, suffocating Fanxin and the others inside.
This is terrible; there are holes everywhere, making it impossible for him to carry out his plan.
"Damn it, you're making me so angry!" The owner of the voice was furious, wishing he could grab the Little Black Cat right now and strangle it to death.
"Hehe, looks like I guessed right. You were trying to suffocate us this way. But you can't do that now." Fanxin laughed as she heard the other party get angry.
"Hmph, so what? You're all stuck in here. That little cat made a hole, and I can seal it up in no time. You're all doomed to be trapped here." The owner of the voice said viciously, "Just you wait, I'll slowly shrink in size. When that happens, I'll show you the consequences of offending me."
"Hmph, you think you can crush us with steel, huh?" Fanxin smiled calmly and said, "You won't succeed, because we haven't even made a move yet."
"Tch, what can you do? You think you can break steel?" the voice scoffed. "That's impossible. No one can break my steel."
"Hmph, that's true, I can't break your steel. However, that's when you're stationary. If you move, that's another story." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "When you manipulate that steel, it softens, right? If the steel softens, then I can use a sharp weapon to cut it open, and nothing can stop me then."
"You... you actually figured it out?" The owner of the voice asked in surprise.
"Tch, how could I not see something so simple? You underestimate me!" Fanxin said. "Besides, I can also use this to find your location. To control steel, you must first soften it. Hehe, the steel closest to you should be the softest, while the steel farther away will be harder. Am I right?"
"Hmph, you are indeed a clever person. If you were one of my crew, I would be very happy. Unfortunately, you are not one of my crew. Therefore, I have no choice but to kill you," the voice said coldly.
"Heh, I'd feel disgusted to be your subordinate," Fanxin said disdainfully.
"Then go die!" the owner of the voice coldly shouted.
"Hmph, you want to kill me? No way!" Fanxin shouted.
Then, he and Ren Fang set out, heading towards the softened steel; they were going to find the guy who was controlling it.
"Langyue, you also need to find a way to get out of here and launch an attack from outside. Hurry up!" Fanxin said to Langyue as they ran.
Langyue was very small, only slightly larger than the Little Black Cat. If you made even a small hole, it would run away like a dog.
His Fanxin allowed it to assist him from the outside, because it was difficult for him to capture the creature that controlled the steel while he was inside; the creature could easily be moved.
If Langyue were to leave, it could create countless giant wolves to tear the ship apart. At the same time, the attack by the numerous giant wolves would force out the one secretly manipulating the steel.
At that point, he had nowhere to run, so he could be easily subdued.
"I understand." Langyue nodded, then focused its attack on one spot, hollowing it out. The creature secretly controlling the steel, not wanting Langyue to get out of the way, began to attack Langyue frantically.
"Hmph, now I'm your opponent." Fanxin sneered, took out a sharp longsword from the Wind and Sand Tower, and began attacking the fists.
Those fists are moving, currently in a softened state; they will only harden when they are about to strike someone.
Therefore, Fanxin were to attack at this moment, he could completely cut off those fists.
Yes, Fanxin leaped up and swung his longsword repeatedly, cutting down all those iron fists.
Ren Fang wasn't idle either. She drew her two pistols and began shooting at the fists. Although this wouldn't kill the person hiding in the shadows, it could stop their actions.
With the help of Fanxin and Ren Fang, the Little Wolf Langyue successfully left the ship and went outside.
Once outside, Langyue found the Little Black Cat and said, "Do you have any more high-temperature rods? Give me some, I want to join in too. Damn it, I got tricked by that guy this time, I'm really annoyed."
Langyue thought she could easily defeat her opponent. However, the opponent was incredibly cunning, appearing here one moment and there the next, making it impossible for Langyue to keep up.
If it weren't for Fanxin and Ren Fang's help, it would still be trapped inside, being chased and beaten by that guy.
"High temperature, can you withstand it?" the Little Black Cat asked. It did have some high-temperature rods, but the temperature was too high; only it could withstand it, no one else could.
"Ah, don't worry, I can use seawater to cool it down, don't worry," Langyue nodded and said.
"Yes, that's true. You can create water wolves now. Okay, here are some for you." The Little Black Cat nodded and said. Then, it took out more than a dozen high-temperature rods from its Mechanical Space and tossed them to Langyue.
Langyue immediately created some giant steel wolves, equipped with high-temperature rods, and began attacking everywhere, especially the softened areas.
Each giant steel wave was accompanied by dozens of enormous water wolves, a preparation for cooling down the area.
When the giant steel wave is about to melt, the water wolf will pounce on it and merge with it, thus reducing the intense heat. Therefore, the giant wolf is no longer afraid of the high temperature.
The Little Black Cat wasn't idle either; it released several robots, which also carried high-temperature rods and began attacking the softened areas.
Their actions infuriated the man who secretly controlled the steel.
Their antics made it impossible for him to fight with his full strength.
"Bastards, bastards, I'm going to kill you all!" the owner of the voice shouted angrily.
"Tch, wait until you kill us, what are you yelling about!" the Little Black Cat scoffed. Then, it intensified its attacks, becoming more frequent.
The man secretly controlling the steel was filled with resentment, but there was nothing he could do, because the Little Black Cat and Langyue were outside. He simply couldn't control them.
