Caught in the Trap (2)

"Hmph, what a nuisance." Heavenly Star Alliance snorted coldly, his tone filled with anger. This was the first time he had been angry. Clearly, the words of the messenger outside had made him somewhat uneasy.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader conjured a black arm and fiercely grabbed at the owner of the clear voice outside.

"You've got it wrong. Your opponent is me, not Bai Xue." Fanxin sneered a few times, then suddenly stood up and darted out like Inazuma, blocking the arm. He recognized the voice immediately, as Bai Xue had been by his side the whole time.

"Trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, huh? Well then, I'll just have to kill you first." The Heavenly Star Alliance Leader said coldly, his black arm suddenly changing direction and viciously grabbing at Fanxin.

"Hmph, you won't get your way." Fanxin's lips curled into a cold smile. The Soul Clan Secret Technique was suddenly activated, condensing onto the twin blades. The originally dark blades were now invisible, as if they had become transparent.

Although he couldn't see it, Fanxin sensed a chilling, sinister aura emanating from it. He understood that the twin blades, now imbued with Soul Power, had undergone another dramatic transformation, becoming even sharper and more lethal. He believed that with these two blades, he could injure the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader.

"Hmm." The Heavenly Star Alliance Leader seemed to have also sensed the sharp aura emanating from the two swords, and his hand, which had been grabbing them fiercely, paused for a moment.

However, it only paused for a second before continuing to grab at Fanxin.

Fanxin Xin chuckled, leaped into the air, raised his twin swords high, and then slashed down fiercely.

Two invisible sword energies rushed straight towards the giant black hand. With a bang, the two sword energies collided with the giant black hand. Accompanied by two hissing sounds, the seemingly indestructible giant hand was actually split into three, directly cut apart by the two invisible sword energies.

"It really worked!" Fanxin Xin was overjoyed. Previously, no matter how he attacked, he couldn't inflict any damage. However, now he could easily tear apart the opponent's attacks with just a light slash. This could only be attributed to the method, not the strength.

With a "bang," the giant black hand exploded, turning into wisps of black mist, which were eventually absorbed back into the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader.

"Damn it!" The Heavenly Star Alliance Leader roared angrily, his voice as powerful as thunder, utterly terrifying.

He was angry because his Fanxin had torn apart his attack, which meant that Fanxin could now harm him.

Therefore, it would be difficult for him to easily capture Fanxin, because Fanxin knew how to deal with him.

The black mist churned and condensed into two giant black eyes, their cold gazes fixed on Bai Xue behind Fanxin, as if they wanted to devour her.

Bai Xue's heart trembled, and she felt a sense of fear. Her fair face turned deathly pale, as if she were being watched by an ancient behemoth.

"Hmph." Fanxin snorted coldly, and his powerful aura suddenly pressed down, directly crushing and shattering the opponent's cold aura. The aura that enveloped Bai Xue disappeared without a trace.

"Thank you," Bai Xue said breathlessly.

"Hehe, you're one of my people, no need to thank me. Leave here and go help out over there." Fanxin tilted his head and grinned.

Bai Xue nodded slightly, and without hesitation, quickly glanced into the distance.

The Heavenly Star Alliance Leader is very strong; she is no match for him at all. Staying here will only hold Fanxin back. It would be better to leave sooner rather than later.

Seeing that Bai Xue had left unharmed, Fanxin's smile gradually faded, and a chill quickly crept onto his face. His pair of black eyes, like two sharp swords about to be drawn, were fixed on the black mist.

"Alright, everyone's gone. Now, it's time to settle the score." Fanxin walked forward step by step, fusing with the Diamond Beast while increasing his aura. As time passed, his aura reached its peak, and his entire body turned blood red, making him look even more eerie and extraordinary.

He swung his twin blades fiercely, unleashing two even more powerful, invisible sword energies that tore through countless spaces and Inazuma into the black mist, slicing it into several pieces.

"Hehe, now you're my prey." Fanxin Xin grinned ferociously, his body shooting out and charging into the black mist without hesitation. He slashed wildly, invisible sword energy crisscrossing, the black mist being split open time and time again. Each time it was split open, the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader couldn't help but shout loudly, clearly Fanxin's sharp attacks had injured him.

Fanxin was also surprised to find that with each strike, the black mist body of the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader would shrink a little, which meant that as long as he kept striking, he could completely exhaust the opponent's black mist.

Fanxin Xin grinned and worked even harder.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader was also urging a counterattack, but Fanxin's attack frequency was simply too fast, so fast that he couldn't react in time.

Finally, left with no other choice, he shrank his body and transformed into a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe. He gripped a black gun tightly in his hand, staring at Fanxin with an indifferent and angry expression, his teeth grinding as if he wished he could devour Fanxin alive.

Fanxin remained calm. Although the other party's eyes were very dangerous, they did not frighten him in the slightest. On the contrary, they ignited his fighting spirit.

"Heavenly Star Alliance Leader, you seem quite angry." Fanxin stepped forward, smiling and teasing.

"Boy, I was vulnerable to attack earlier, but now you think you can easily hit me?" Two angry flames shot from the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader's eyes, which were as big as bull's eyes. The repeated attacks from Fanxin had caused him a lot of losses. He had lost a lot of Soul Power.

Now that he has become a human, his physical range has shrunk. As long as he avoids Fanxin's attacks, his sword energy cannot harm him.

"Hehe, that depends on whether you can dodge it. If you're too slow, you'll definitely die in the end." Fanxin said dismissively, looking at the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader with a mocking expression.

"You're courting death." The Heavenly Star Alliance Leader saw the mockery in Fanxin's eyes and was furious. He was the leader of an alliance, and Fanxin dared to humiliate him like this, which he could not tolerate.

He leaped up and charged forward, twirling his spear as he thrust it towards Fanxin.

Shoot shoo shoo

He accumulated speed in mid-air, then pushed off several times, increasing his speed to its maximum, beyond the reach of the human eye.

Fanxin glanced at him, then immediately closed his eyes, gripped his twin swords tightly, and stood ready. When the opponent rushed in front of him, he slashed down with his sword without any mercy.

With a clang, Fanxin's blade struck the opponent's black spear, sparks flying and the rebound force astonishing; Fanxin's blade was actually bounced back. Of course, the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader's spear was also deflected.

Fanxin took a few steps back and stopped. As he retreated, he slashed another diamond knife at the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader was floating in the air.

The Heavenly Star Alliance Leader sneered, kicked his left foot into the void to the left, and shot his body quickly to the right, avoiding the opponent's attack.

"Quite fast." Fanxin Xin chuckled, launching a series of attacks, his sword energy radiating in all directions, sealing off all parts of the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader's body.

The Heavenly Star Alliance Leader merely glanced coldly at Fanxin before his body transformed into black mist once more, silently shooting out from the cracks in the sword energy. He then coalesced again in the distance, transforming back into the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader.

"Hmm, is that even possible?" Fanxin was somewhat surprised. She originally thought she could completely lock him down this time, but unexpectedly, the other party was even more of a monkey than a monkey, managing to evade the situation.

"Hmph, I told you, you can't hurt me now." The Heavenly Star Alliance Leader sneered, then launched another attack. As he closed in, he raised his black spear high and brought it down hard.

Fanxin Xin parried with his sword, blocking the opponent's black spear, and then swung his other knife at his hands.

However, to Fanxin's utter frustration, his opponent severed both of his arms to avoid the chop, then quickly reattached them, causing his attack to miss once again.

"This is indeed troublesome." Fanxin narrowed his eyes to pinpoints as he carefully examined the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader, trying to discern any clues. However, the other party remained calm and did not reveal any weaknesses, leaving Fan Xin empty-handed.

"Boy, don't waste your time. I have no weaknesses. I only underestimated you before, which is why I wasn't on guard. Now?" The Heavenly Star Alliance Leader planted his spear on the ground, his face full of disdain, and said, "Don't even think about hurting a hair on my head."

"Is that so?" Fanxin Xin chuckled, pondered for a moment, then patted his dantian, unleashing even more Soul Power that swept out and enveloped his entire body. He was completely submerged in Soul Power, becoming utterly transparent.

"Hmm." The Heavenly Star Alliance Leader sensed it and was slightly startled, because he could no longer detect Fanxin's figure; it was as if he had never existed at all.

"Such a bizarre method. As expected of the unpredictable Soul Clan." The Heavenly Star Alliance Leader muttered to himself, his expression growing increasingly solemn. Fanxin was the young master of the Soul Clan, a being possessing Conqueror's Haki. His combat power was beyond imagination, which was why he wanted to stop Fanxin from going to the Holy Land.

His arrival will completely disrupt the balance of the Holy Land. At that time, they will suffer a great loss.

"Hmph, no matter how strange you are, now that we've met, I will spare no effort to eliminate you." The Heavenly Star Alliance Leader thought for a moment, then immediately focused his mind. He unleashed his full Haki, scanning his surroundings for any trace of Fanxin. He gripped his black spear tightly, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

The Fanxin completely merged into the void, like a drifting, unpredictable ghost, swirling around the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader, without immediately launching an attack.

He's waiting for an opportunity. This is a formidable opponent; if you don't find his weakness, you have absolutely no chance of dealing him a serious blow.

However, where was his weakness? Fanxin was having a headache. He searched everywhere but couldn't find his opponent's weakness, which left him feeling helpless.

"Wait, isn't the other party a gas? What if I divide his body into countless parts and send them to different places?" Fanxin Xin suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a plan, but the implementation of this plan would require someone's help.

"Let Ren Fang out to help." Fanxin thought for a moment, then immediately opened the entrance to the Diamond Space and released Ren Fang, who had been taking care of the child inside. In order not to attract the attention of the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader, he immediately used his Soul Power to envelop her, so that the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader would not be able to detect her presence.

"What's wrong?" Ren Fang was quite surprised as soon as she came out. Fanxin rarely asked him to come out to fight, but now he had let her out directly, which puzzled her.

Fanxin Xin gestured with her mouth and said to Ren Fang, "That guy is troublesome; I need your help."

"Oh, someone who can leave you so helpless must be quite a troublesome person." Ren Fang didn't object and nodded, asking, "Tell me, what should I do?"

"I'll have my clone tear through space, while you send the opponent's body into a different dimension. This way, I can greatly weaken the opponent's power," Fanxin said, his eyes darting around.

"Oh, is that so? Okay then." Ren Fang agreed. Her Devil Fruit ability happened to be a spatial ability, so splitting others into countless pieces was just a piece of cake for her.

"Hmm." Fanxin Xin nodded, slowly approaching the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader, while releasing his clone Black and White to guard Ren Fang in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Fanxin's approach alerted the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader, who suddenly thrust his spear at the source of the anomaly. Just then, Fanxin swung his blade, striking Fan Xin's spear with tremendous force, deflecting it ninety degrees and rendering it unable to reach Fanxin.

The Heavenly Star Alliance Leader snorted coldly, leaped up, twirled his spear, and ruthlessly stabbed at Fanxin again.

Fanxin Xin grinned and slashed several times, his sword energy crisscrossing, locking onto the spear and causing it to tremble and deviate again.

While Fanxin and the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader were engaged in a fierce battle, Ren Fang released her small world without revealing a trace of killing intent. The world scattered around like stars, blending with the dust and becoming indistinguishable.

These small worlds, carried by the wind, quickly approached Fanxin and the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader, covering them completely. However, they did not immediately launch an attack; she was still waiting.

Fanxin saw the space around him, smiled slightly, and knew that Ren Fang had made her move. Now he just had to wait for his chance.

Without further thought, he launched a fierce attack, drawing the attention of the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader and preventing him from focusing on other matters.

The two clashed fiercely, their swords flashing, creating a truly awe-inspiring scene. Countless fragments of the Continent of Ice shattered, the cracking sounds echoing endlessly.

Although the Fanxin did not cause any real harm to the other party, it successfully attracted their attention, leaving them no time to think about anything else, thus achieving its purpose.

Seeing the increasing number of starlight points on the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader's body, Fanxin remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he was overjoyed. The opportunity was about to arrive.
