Flowing Iron Fists (3)

"Hmm, there's movement. That guy might not be dead yet. Everyone be careful, just in case it's a trap." Fanxin was walking at the front, immediately said to the others behind him when he heard the noise.

"Impossible! My brown flames are incredibly powerful; they can burn anything, even steel, let alone a living person," the Little Black Cat said dismissively.

It tried many times; the brown flames could burn everything—soil, water, trees, steel, and so on. It tried everything it could. The result was always the same: everything was burned to ashes, and nothing remained. Except for the hard steel that could withstand the flames for a while, leaving behind only a little composite steel, everything else was completely burned away.

"Hehe, better safe than sorry. If that guy really is an unburnable cockroach, then we're in big trouble," Fanxin said with a smile. He was also very wary of the Little Black Cat's brown flames. He hadn't let the Little Black Cat use them while they were inside the ship, precisely because he was worried they wouldn't be able to escape. If they were trapped inside, they would only face certain death.

However, while he believed it, he didn't believe it completely, because anything is possible in this world, and he wouldn't be too surprised if something that could counteract the brown flames really appeared.

"Oh, alright then, you should be careful too." The Little Black Cat nodded slightly, showing no arrogance.

Seeing that everyone was on guard, Fanxin continued walking forward. He arrived at the location of the ship and carefully inspected it, discovering that all the steel was gone, indicating that it had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

He searched the surroundings but found nothing unusual.

"Looks like it's burned to ashes. Let's go, let's get out of here!" Fanxin turned around and said.

"But I need that composite steel! That stuff is very important to me!" The Little Black Cat was unwilling to leave so easily. It had unleashed its ultimate attack earlier to obtain the composite steel formed after being scorched by brown flames. This steel combined almost all the best properties, making it the finest material. It didn't want to let it go so easily.

"But they've all sunk to the bottom of the sea. This ocean is so vast and deep, how are we supposed to find them?" Fanxin said dejectedly. If he could find them, he wouldn't mind taking action. However, the ocean is boundless and unfathomably deep; finding those steel pieces is like finding a needle in a haystack. It's simply not realistic.

"I..." Upon hearing this, the Little Black Cat was at a loss for words. It had eaten Devil Fruit and could no longer come into contact with seawater; if it did, its body would become weak and it would be unable to move. It was impossible for it to find composite steel.

However, even these creatures are not suitable. Because the seabed is too deep, and they are not marine animals, they cannot stay in the sea for too long. Otherwise, they will suffocate and die due to lack of oxygen.

Then, the Little Black Cat looked at the Little Wolf Langyue. Langyue could create water wolves, and it thought that Langyue might be worth a try.

"Don't look at me. Although I can create water wolves, the water pressure increases as you go down, and the water wolves won't be able to withstand it. They'll be crushed," Little Wolf Langyue said helplessly.

"Oh, I see. Then forget it!" The Little Black Cat sighed helplessly and said.

"Okay, let's go then. Next time, we'll bring more steel and put it on land so you can use brown flames to burn it. That should be enough to make a lot of composite steel. Don't be discouraged," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Well, that's all we can do. Let's go!" The Little Black Cat nodded helplessly upon hearing this.

Then, everyone headed off into the distance. Ren Fang, Little Black, and Langyue walked in front, while Fanxin followed behind.

The others all looked ahead, but the Little Black Cat looked back, because it couldn't stop thinking about the composite steel.

However, just as it was staring behind it, its expression suddenly changed drastically, and it screamed, "Fanxin, watch out behind you..."

Before the Little Black Cat could finish speaking, two enormous iron fists flew up from the sea behind Fanxin and smashed towards Fanxin. One fist was aimed at Fanxin's head, and the other was aimed directly at Fanxin heart in the back.

Both of these places are vital points on the human body. Clearly, the person who launched the sneak attack wanted to destroy Fanxin here.

The others were some distance from Fanxin, and the two fists were directly behind Fanxin, blocked by Fanxin body, so they couldn't help him. Therefore, they could only watch helplessly.

"Leave here, I'm going to activate the Wind and Sand Tower!" Fanxin Xin shouted.

The Wind and Sand Tower has a large area of effect. If you are within its attack range, you are doomed and will be swept into it. Although the Wind and Sand Tower itself has no offensive power, if you are swept into it, you will not be able to escape for several hours.

Even if Fanxin were to intervene, it would be impossible to stop it.

Upon hearing this, Langyue immediately controlled the water wolf and left the place, heading straight into the distance.

Although they didn't know what the Wind and Sand Tower was, they figured it was no easy thing to deal with. So, they had no choice but to flee as quickly as possible to avoid being caught in it.

As Fanxin spoke, Fanxin had already activated the Wind and Sand Tower, focusing his spiritual power on the thirtieth floor.

A moment later, sandstorms raged, and a massive tornado completely enveloped Fanxin. Fanxin stood in the very center of the sandstorm, where he was unaffected. However, the area within a half-meter radius of Fanxin was covered by sand.

From high above, you can see a counter-clockwise vortex of sand and dust, covering a wide area, extending to a radius of tens of meters.

The pair of fists were about to reach Fanxin, but a sudden sandstorm swept the fist's owner into it, making him somewhat powerless. Therefore, the pair of fists not only failed to hit Fanxin, but instead slowly moved away.

Fanxin snorted softly, immediately turned around, and then swiftly grabbed the pair of fists. This was the best opportunity to catch the guy hiding in the shadows; if he let him go now, it would be absolutely impossible for him to catch him later. Because the tornado might just throw that guy out of the way.

That guy had caused a lot of trouble, and he wasn't going to let him get away with it so easily. He grabbed the guy, but didn't pull him away; he just held him like that. His purpose was to teach that guy a lesson.

Since they dared to plot against him, he would absolutely not be polite.

"This sandstorm is going to last for several hours, so let's wait here." Fanxin sat calmly on the water wolf, waiting patiently without moving.

Although he created the sandstorm, he couldn't control it. So, he had no choice but to stay put; otherwise, he would be swept away by the sandstorm and suffer greatly.

He grabbed the two fists and spun them around, rotating with the guy's body.

Fanxin thought he would be spinning for hours. However, after spinning for ten minutes, he pulled at the pair of fists. He was startled, thinking that the guy had broken his own hands and was trying to escape.

However, when he looked closely at the fists, he realized they weren't flesh and blood. The moment he held them, the fists melted, turning into a golden liquid. It could take any shape you wanted.

More importantly, Fanxin also discovered that this mass of liquid seemed to be alive, and was not a metallic liquid.

"What is this thing?!" Fanxin had never seen anything like it before, and her brows furrowed slightly.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with anything. Finally, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Never mind, once the sandstorm stops, I'll give it to the Little Black Cat to study. This should be some kind of metallic life form. It's so fascinated by metals, it must be useful to it."

Fanxin Xin finished speaking, a sudden change occurred. The golden liquid seemed to understand his words and immediately entered his body through his pores. He tried his best to stop it, but to no avail. Soon, all the liquid had entered his body.

"Damn it, how could this happen? I haven't even agreed yet." Fanxin was extremely frustrated. He wasn't a house, so why was he living inside his own body?

However, no matter how frustrated he was, the golden liquid just wouldn't come out, and he was helpless.

"That guy probably used this liquid to enhance his strength. He built that iron ship to nurture it. If it weren't for my abilities, we really wouldn't have escaped his grasp this time," Fanxin muttered to himself.

That guy has disappeared, caught in the tornado. He doesn't know where the tornado will take him. He feels a little regretful because he wanted to kill him but failed. That villain is still alive and will surely stir up trouble again.

However, what reassured him somewhat was that without this liquid, the opponent's strength would likely be significantly reduced, meaning that if he wanted to cause trouble in the future, someone should be able to subdue him. This put his mind at ease.

"Forget it, you can't force things. Let it be!" After Fanxin for a moment, Fan stopped paying attention to that despicable guy and just waited there for the sandstorm to clear up.

"Holy crap, this sandstorm is incredible! It's terrifying!" Langyue exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the billowing sand.

"Hehe, there's something even stronger, it's just that Fanxin can't use it yet. Once he does, this place we're in will probably be swept away by the sandstorm." Ren Fang said with a smile.

"That's a good ability. If someone is chasing him, he can kill them as soon as he uses it," Langyue said.

"That's true, but there's a downside to it too. The sandstorm doesn't discriminate between friend and foe. Since we're around Fanxin, he won't dare use it. If we get caught in it, that would be troublesome," Ren Fang said helplessly.

This ability is limited; those who are close to Fanxin will also be affected. Therefore, this ability cannot be used casually unless absolutely necessary.
