Deathmatch (2)

Have you chosen to protect your eyes?

Fanxin paused for a moment, then attacked the opponent's chest with all his might. Since the opponent was protecting his eyes, he obviously couldn't continue attacking there, since the opponent's attention was focused there, and attacking there again wouldn't be very effective.

"Die!" Fanxin roared, unleashing his full power and slamming his fist into the opponent's chest.

At the same time, the crimson dragon also struck right in front of the opponent's eyes, heading straight for them.

However, at that moment, a huge hand appeared and slapped down, sending the group of blood-red dragons flying.

Bang bang

Two resounding slaps rang out; the gray-eyed man slapped away the crimson dragons, while Fanxin slapped him away.

The gray-eyed man did not resist, letting Fanxin send him flying. He used the force to instantly widen the distance between himself and Fanxin.

With this distance, the gray-eyed man was overjoyed, because he no longer needed to worry about being attacked from both sides by Fanxin and those strange blood-red dragons.

"Ugh..." The man suddenly spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood, his gray eyes coldly staring at Fanxin, a strong aura of killing intent emanating from him as he locked onto Fanxin.

Just now, although he made a choice, he also knew that no matter which option he chose, he would get hurt.

If he chooses to protect his eyes, he cannot protect his abdomen, and vice versa.

Regardless, he was going to get hurt, so he chose to protect his eyes, while his abdomen suffered a severe injury.

In terms of strength, he was no less than Fanxin; the problem was that Fanxin was too cunning and used such methods, which angered him.

"Hehe, you seem quite unhappy," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Hmph, I won't let you succeed again." The gray-eyed man spoke coldly, his hands slightly bent, transforming into sharp claws. An aura of Haki enveloped his hands, making them hard and sharp, radiating a cold, chilling light.

"Tch, if I can catch you once, I can catch you twice," Fanxin said dismissively.

The gray-eyed man narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not refute anything, because everything should be based on facts, and words alone are useless.

Swoosh

Without another word, the man suddenly leaped out, like a tiger hunting its prey. His tall body cast a long shadow on the ground, completely covering Fanxin's body.

"Hehe, Leg Whip." Fanxin Xin grinned and kicked out suddenly. Countless thin lines burst out from his toes, condensing into a whip as thick as an arm. The whip's attack range was very wide, reaching ten miles.

The whip carried a sharp edge, cutting through anything that stood in its way.

This is Doflamingo's skill; he obtained it by absorbing a portion of his opponent's soul.

The gray-eyed man glanced at the whip, then suddenly used the air to propel himself forward, leaping lightly to avoid its sweep. He pounced again, his momentum even stronger than before.

He raised his right claw high, then swung it down sharply, aiming for Fanxin's eyeballs.

Judging from his expression, he was looking for revenge. Fanxin had just plotted to almost gouge out his eyes, and he was filled with resentment.

"Hehe, useless." Fanxin grinned, not bothering to defend himself, and kicked out, aiming for the opponent's chest.

The gray-eyed man was taken aback, but did not hesitate at all. Although he did not know why Fanxin did not defend against his eyes, he still decided to attack Fanxin's eyes.

He believed that the eyes were always a person's weakness, and attacking that area should be enough to make Fanxin suffer. As for Fanxin's kick, he merely glanced at it and paid it no heed, because he had just strengthened his body and was confident he could withstand it.

Fanxin's feet continued to approach the other's body.

Within a breath, their attacks landed on each other.

Bang, tear

Fanxin kicked the other man in the chest, while the man's sharp claws slashed across his eyes.

"Hmm, nothing happened." The gray-eyed man was taken aback, a strange glint in his eyes. His claws were incredibly powerful, and he had even enhanced them just now, yet they hadn't caused any damage to Fanxin, only sending out some sparks.

He couldn't believe it; he had attacked Fanxin's eyes, a vulnerable spot in the human body, yet Fanxin's eyes were as hard as steel.

"Hehe, don't just stand there dumbfounded." Fanxin Xin grinned, and the foot that was kicking the gray-eyed man exerted force again. The huge impact swept over the gray-eyed man's chest, pushing him high into the air.

The gray-eyed man snapped back to reality. Using the air for leverage, he leaped and bounded, landing steadily five meters from Fanxin. He stared intently at Fanxin, his expression shifting constantly. He had timed his attack perfectly, yet the result was so disappointing.

He scanned Fanxin Xin from head to toe, trying to find a flaw in Fanxin.

However, after a long while, his brows furrowed even deeper, because no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any weakness in his Fanxin; it seemed as if the Fanxin had no weaknesses at all.

"How is this possible?" A solemn expression appeared on the face of the gray-eyed man. If a person has no weaknesses, then there is no way he can defeat his opponent, and his mission is to hunt him down.

It seems that he will face many difficulties in defeating his opponent.

"Kill." Fanxin was unaware that the gray-eyed man was scrutinizing him. Right now, all he could think about was how to hunt the other man down. He couldn't care less what the man thought of him.

He brandished his twin swords and charged forward, reaching the gray-eyed man in just a few strides.

He slashed out with his sword, aiming straight for his opponent's eyes, determined to strike that spot, his opponent's weak point.

The gray-eyed man immediately snapped back to reality, no longer thinking about how Fanxin's attacks were becoming increasingly sharp; he couldn't afford to be distracted.

He was frustrated because he now had a weakness, while Fanxin seemed to have no weaknesses.

After fighting for half an hour, the two separated again, but neither gained the upper hand.

Fanxin Xin frowned deeply. This couldn't go on; he simply didn't have time to wait.

"Damn it, looks like I have no choice but to use my ultimate move." Fanxin Xin muttered to himself after a moment of contemplation. Although he really didn't want to use that move, he had no choice but to finish the fight quickly in order to defeat his opponent as soon as possible.

"Heihu, all of you come here." Fanxin swept his gaze and shouted sharply at the Heihu who were fighting not far away.

Upon seeing Fanxin shout, the Heihu's eyes darted around, and it immediately seemed to realize something. It chuckled, gave a soft shout, and led a few friends to quickly rush over and stand beside Fanxin.

"Are you going to merge with us?" Heihu asked with a grin.

"However, lend me your power for now." Fanxin Xin nodded, her eyes locking onto the gray-eyed man, a chilling aura slowly creeping through her.

"Great!" The Heihu was overjoyed, because it wanted to use this method to absorb the power released by the golden sphere within the Fanxin's body. This power could make them live longer, have stronger vitality, and be more powerful in combat.

With so many benefits, how could they possibly give them up?

"Go ahead." Fanxin opened his heart, letting the magical beasts crawl inside. Without the slightest hesitation, the magical beasts transformed into miniature magical beasts and then burrowed into Fanxin's body.

Once inside the small space within Fanxin's body, their bodies suddenly grew larger, transforming into enormous creatures.

Fanxin sensed the immense power of the magical beasts, grinned, and began to compress their power, merging it into his body. Although it was only a temporary fusion, not a complete integration, he still gained tremendous power from it.

Having absorbed the power of ten magical beasts, Fanxin felt that the power within his body had surpassed its original strength by several times. His entire body was filled with power, and with a light punch, he could cause the air to explode.

"Not bad, not bad." Fanxin smiled happily. With this power, he believed that even if he couldn't kill his opponent, he should be able to severely injure him.

He tilted his head slightly, staring coldly at the man with gray eyes, his pupils revealing an undisguised icy glint.

The gray-eyed man had been staring at Fanxin. Fanxin's fusion with the ten demonic beasts naturally fell into his sight without any omission. Especially after Fanxin's fusion, his power surged instantly, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink sharply, sensing a slight sense of unease.

It seems that Fanxin can extract power from others, and if he continues to do so, wouldn't his power increase infinitely?

His power is limited, and if the power of his Fanxin were to grow without limit, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him.

"It seems we must resolve this as soon as possible." The gray-eyed man took a deep breath, his face contorted with rage. He suddenly bit down on each of his hands, the reason for which was unclear.

"Self-harm?" Fanxin was stunned, not knowing why the other person bit her.

However, a moment later, he was completely shocked, because he saw that the other person's body swelled up again, more than doubling in size, and then, like Fanxin, he compressed his body back to its original size.

Although his body had shrunk, Fanxin's expression became even more solemn, because he sensed an even more terrifying power emanating from the other party than before.

"Indeed extraordinary." Fanxin's eyes gleamed. He licked his lips, no longer hesitating, sheathed his twin swords, clenched his fists, and prepared for close combat.

Against such experts, ranged attacks are clearly ineffective, as they are too fast and can be easily dodged. He didn't want to waste his energy on that.

"Come on, let's fight to the death!" Fanxin shouted and pounced forward.

As he lunged forward, he transferred all his strength to his hands, and when they reached his opponent, he slammed them down.

"Hehe, that's exactly what I was thinking too." The gray-eyed man chuckled, his fists clenched as he fought against his Fanxin.

Their punches and kicks landed squarely, without any attempt to dodge or evade; it was a head-on collision.

The gray-eyed man wanted to hunt him down, and he wanted to hunt the gray-eyed man down as well, so neither of them would easily run away, and a head-on battle was about to begin.

Bang bang bang bang...

Fierce fists pounded against each other relentlessly, producing a resounding clang like diamonds striking each other, each enduring the blows of the other.

Fanxin's face was indifferent, her eyes devoid of any other emotion, only icy coldness, as she stared intently at the man with gray eyes.

The same was true of the man; it was as if the two were natural enemies.

After staring for a moment, Fanxin rushed forward and launched a fierce attack. The gray-eyed man laughed loudly, showing no fear, and engaged in close combat.

The two attacks were terrifying; even the ice blocks couldn't withstand them, shattering and sinking into the sea, leaving no place to stand.

Fanxin wasn't afraid; he could live on land or underwater. The gray-eyed man, however, was somewhat troubled, after all, he was a demon-wielding ability user.

Fortunately, his Taijutsu were superb, and with the help of Geppo, he was able to stay in the air.

"Soul Tower!" Fanxin Xin shouted, and the Soul Tower suddenly shot out from his body. As soon as it appeared, it became the focus of the entire audience, because the Soul Tower was so huge that it was awe-inspiring when it hung in mid-air.

As soon as the Soul Tower appeared, boundless soul power surged forth from the heavens and earth, was absorbed by the Soul Tower, and poured into Fanxin's body, making his body become illusory.

Not long after, his body completely vanished without a trace.

"Hmm, gone." The gray-eyed man used his Haki to sense the situation but couldn't find him. His expression changed drastically, and his body tensed up immediately as he closely monitored his surroundings to prevent a sneak attack.

"The power of the Soul Clan? It's truly terrifying. They can even become invisible. My treasures couldn't detect their presence at all?" The gray-eyed man was horrified. They had always dealt with the Soul Clan Ghost Clan, and they knew a great deal about their strange abilities. However, he was completely unaware of the trick Fanxin had just displayed.

"Could it be because he possesses Conqueror's Haki that she can use soul power to become invisible?" The gray-eyed man pondered, eliminating one hypothesis after another, until only this one remained.

Aside from Conqueror's Haki, Fanxin was no different from other Soul Clan, so he believed that Fanxin's terrifying power must be related to Conqueror's Haki.

"It seems my chances of hunting him down have dwindled considerably," the gray-eyed man muttered to himself, his expression growing even more serious. Facing an undetectable enemy, even he felt a wave of pressure.

Taking a deep breath, the gray-eyed man no longer hesitated, focusing intently on searching for the abilities of the Fanxin.

Regardless, he must complete his mission here, otherwise, the Holy Lord will be very unhappy.

"There." The moment he closed his eyes, he sensed a gust of wind coming from behind him. He twisted his body strangely, turned around quickly, and without thinking, threw a punch at the source of the wind.

With a loud bang, he crushed the gust of wind from the fist. However, there was no hint of joy on his face, because he hadn't harmed Fanxin in the slightest.
