The Seal Opens (3)

Seeing his subordinates leave, the man in the black outfit continued sipping his tea, but his eyes flickered, clearly indicating that his mind was not on drinking the tea.

"Fanxin? He's indeed a troublesome fellow." The man in black put down his teacup, his eyes turning cold. He had been stationed here for a long time, treating this place as his forbidden territory. If Fanxin and Cheng Xinxin were to break in, it would ruin all his plans, which was something he did not want to see.

"So many men were sent out, and they still couldn't kill him. They're all a bunch of useless trash." The man in black was furious. He slammed his fist down on the stone table, and with a loud crack, the table shattered into pieces.

He was furious. In order to stop Fanxin, he sent out countless assassins and countless teams, thinking that he could handle everything. But now it seems that it was all useless.

Fanxin not only came here, but also led everyone here to fight their way through, which hindered his plans and could have been abandoned at any moment.

If this place is destroyed, then the plans of the past few centuries will likely be in vain.

"No matter what, I must stop them." The man in black was contorted with rage. If Fanxin broke through his defenses, his entire plan would collapse, and their regime would crumble, returning them to the state they had built hundreds of years ago. They had worked so hard for so long, only to be reduced to their original state. He couldn't accept it.

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and walked outside.

Once outside the forest, he stood on a high point, gazing at where Fanxin and the others were, his cold eyes flashing. After a moment, he vanished and headed straight for Fanxin.

Fanxin remained inside the cave, guarding the area. Seeing Cheng Xinxin's face becoming increasingly rosy, Fanxin felt a slight sense of relief. At this rate, her body would probably recover in less than six hours.

"I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder how strong she is," Fanxin muttered to himself curiously.

Suddenly, he sensed something and looked in a certain direction, his expression turning solemn. He detected many powerful auras approaching, their murderous intent clearly indicating ill intent.

"Prepare your defenses! The enemy is coming!" Fanxin shouted.

In fact, even without Fanxin's reminder, the members of the Ghost Clan and Soul Clan outside had already begun to take action. They were extremely sensitive to souls, and could easily detect any living being approaching this place. Therefore, they naturally discovered the intrusion of so many people immediately.

"Young man, that girl is in your care now. I hope you will take good care of her." The aged voice of the Ghost Clan elder came, placing high hopes on Fanxin.

"Don't worry, we're allies, we'll definitely take good care of her," Fanxin replied calmly.

As he spoke, he had already picked up the ice coffin and placed it into the Diamond Space.

He himself was the strongest defense; those guys couldn't possibly penetrate his body before killing him. Therefore, he protected Cheng Xinxin inside his body.

"That's good." The Ghost Clan elder seemed to have noticed Fanxin's actions and said nothing more.

Fanxin is extremely powerful, and Cheng Xinxin is absolutely safest inside him; he has no need to worry.

"Hmm." Fanxin nodded, took the diamond knife, and walked out step by step.

Outside, shouts of battle shook the heavens, and countless black-robed figures surged in from afar like a tide, surrounding the area. Upon arriving, they launched their strongest attacks without a word.

The Ghost Clan and Soul Clan showed no mercy either, unleashing Ghost Clan special skills to hunt down the black- Soul Clan figures.

In the sky, the Soul Power surged, forming a massive vortex, like a ferocious beast about to devour everything around it.

Originally, those black-robed figures were unable to fight against the Soul Clan and Ghost Clan, since their attacks could not hit the soul. The Soul Clan and Ghost Clan were beings of the soul, thus putting them at a disadvantage in combat.

However, the black-robed men possessed soul weapons, which could inflict fatal damage on the soul. It was precisely because of these weapons that they were able to fight against the Soul Clan and the Ghost Clan.

The two sides fought fiercely, their battle cries shaking the heavens, and the area was in complete chaos.

Fanxin glanced at her but didn't join the battle. His mission was to protect Cheng Xinxin until she fully recovered. Until then, he could only wait; otherwise, if trouble arose, things would become complicated.

Ren Fang and the others rushed over and protected Fanxin.

Ren Fang used her spatial abilities to trap the black-robed figures one by one and then send them to another dimension. Unless one possesses spatial abilities, it is impossible to return from that other dimension.

Those who were sent away, even if they return here, everything is already set in stone, so there's no need to worry about them.

The Little Fox also made a move, attracting the black-robed men one by one, and then Lin Haicheng used his super-powerful sniper rifle to shoot them down. One by one, the black-robed men were blown to the head and died a violent death.

The others were equally determined, each employing every skill to kill the enemy. Thanks to their efforts, no enemy dared to approach the area.

Fanxin sat in the center, waiting quietly, without making a move.

Elsewhere, the battles weren't as easy for them, because they possessed Soul Weapons, which were extremely damaging to the soul body. This was why the black-robed figures weren't afraid of the Soul Clan and the Ghost Clan. Soul Weapons had a significant impact on both races.

Fanxin glanced at them, then looked at Bingfeng and Wang Yan, and shouted, "You two go help them, I can take care of myself here."

Even if he has no one to protect him, he is not afraid, because in today's world, there is basically no one who can kill him with a single blow.

"Understood." The two nodded slightly and were about to leave.

Fanxin Xin immediately stood up, patted each of them, and injected a Soul Clone into their bodies to protect their souls and prevent any interference.

Those guys all have Horcruxes, which are extremely harmful to the soul. Their souls aren't strong, so they're easily disturbed.

Although the two were somewhat surprised by Fanxin's actions, they did not ask any further questions. Having followed Fanxin for many years, they knew Fanxin character well; he would never do anything that was not beneficial to them.

"We're off." Bingfeng smiled calmly, waved, took Wang Yan's hand, and headed into the distance.

Fanxin returned to his original position, sat cross-legged, and waited quietly.

The battle continued, but the situation turned around after Bingfeng and Wang Yan joined the fray.

Their attacks were not very effective against soul beings, but they were sure-kill moves against the black-robed men.

One of them unleashed ice, and the other unleashed magma, instantly annihilating the vast majority of people. The Soul Clan and Ghost Clan seized this opportunity to launch a counterattack.

In less than half an hour, the once overwhelming force had dwindled to just a few dozen people. Meanwhile, the number of the Soul Clan and Ghost Clan numbered in the hundreds or thousands, hundreds of times greater than the Soul Clan.

The Soul Clan and the Ghost Clan joined forces and surrounded them, mobilizing their powerful Soul Power to hunt down the last few dozen people.

Wang Yan and Bingfeng also prepared to unleash their power to completely annihilate this last enemy.

However, just as they were about to make their move, footsteps approached, interrupting their plans.

Everyone looked toward the sound of footsteps and saw a man dressed in black, with a gloomy face, walking over.

Upon seeing this person, everyone became wary, because they sensed a terrifying pressure emanating from him; clearly, this guy was no ordinary person.

"Boss, you... you're here?" The last few dozen men in black, who had been in despair, were now seeing their boss arrive. They had been dealt with so many times and didn't know what to do. But now, seeing their boss, their hope was rekindled.

"A bunch of useless trash! So many of you came, and you were all killed. What use are you to me?" The man in black was furious. He had thought that this time they would be of some use and help him deal with Fanxin and Cheng Xinxin, but the result was like this. He didn't know what to say.

The men in black listened, heads bowed, but dared not respond; their faces burned.

Their numbers far exceeded those of the Ghost Clan and the Soul Clan, yet they were easily annihilated upon arriving here, leaving them somewhat helpless.

"Boss, it's all these two women's doing. One released lava, and the other released ice. We... we can't hold them off." A thin man in black robes pointed at Wang Yan and Bingfeng and said.

What he said was true. They were initially in the lead, but after Wang Yan and Bingfeng appeared, they were constantly being defeated and couldn't stop.

"Where are the Horcruxes I gave you? They are human. As long as you use the Horcruxes, you can easily steal their souls. Are you all stupid? Why don't you use them?" the man in black roared, his face contorted with rage, his whole body trembling with fury.

"We used it... but it didn't work. They seem to have some kind of soul defense," the thin, black-robed man said hurriedly.

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, the man in black clothing suddenly looked at Bingfeng and Wang Yan, narrowed his eyes, and carefully sensed them. After a moment, his pupils contracted, and he silently nodded, confirming the black-robed man's words.

He glared menacingly at Wang Yan and Bingfeng, coldly saying, "The one who provided the soul defense for you was that Fanxin, wasn't he?"

The soul weapons he created were extremely powerful; even the strongest member of the Soul Clan would be affected if hit. However, these two were unharmed, which meant that their defenses were very strong. And he felt that no one but Fanxin could have created such powerful soul defenses for them.

Wang Yan and Bingfeng exchanged a glance, then realized that when Fanxin patted them a few times, he was creating a soul defense for them.

Wang Yan nodded slightly and said, "That's right, he's the one who did it for us, so what?"

"As expected." The man in black glanced around and saw Fanxin sitting cross-legged on a hilltop not far away. Fanxin still had his eyes closed and did not open them to look at him. However, Fanxin was fully aware of the man in black's actions because he had activated his Haki perception and had complete control over the area within hundreds of miles.

"Fanxin, you've won this time, but don't be too happy yet. I'll prepare a good show for you inside the Holy Land," the man in black said unhappily.

This time, he suffered heavy losses, but what annoyed him most was that they still hadn't completed their mission.

However, he did not intend to continue entangled with Fanxin here. Fanxin was very strong and had so many experts guarding him. Although he himself was also very strong, it was basically impossible for him to deal with so many people at the same time.

Therefore, he didn't want to do anything pointless.

"Alright, go and get ready. Remember, make sure you're well-prepared, otherwise it'll be embarrassing if I get past you so easily." Fanxin opened her eyes, looking at the other person calmly, her face expressionless.

Although he knew this was extremely dangerous, he was not afraid, because he had made ample preparations. No one could say for sure who would win in the end, but he knew he would do his best.

"Hmph, I hope you can still be so calm then." The man in black felt extremely displeased with Fanxin's indifferent expression. The calmer Fanxin was, the more worried he became, because only those with formidable strength had the right to challenge him.

Although he didn't know the specifics of Fanxin's abilities, he knew they must be extremely powerful.

The man in black glared at Fanxin resentfully, then said nothing more. He disliked verbal sparring, and he could tell that he was no Fanxin for Fan Xin in a war of words. So, not wanting to humiliate himself further, he turned and left.

"Aren't you leaving? Are you going to stay here and make a fool of yourself?" The man in black, seeing his subordinate still standing there, immediately started cursing angrily.

The men in black robes snapped out of their daze and quickly followed the man in black.

No one stopped them. The man in black was very powerful; with him around, no one else could handle him. Therefore, they decided not to continue fighting the men in black robes. They were just small fry; killing them wouldn't be of much value.

Fanxin watched them leave, her eyes narrowed to pinpoints as she stared intently at the man in black, a serious expression on her face.

The man in the black outfit exuded a powerful aura of pressure, clearly indicating his considerable strength. Facing such an opponent naturally weighed heavily on his mind.

"No matter how powerful you are, the outcome won't change; you're destined to fail." Fanxin Xin murmured to himself. After taking one last look at the other person's back, he stopped paying attention, slowly closed his eyes, and let his mind sink into the Diamond Space. This crisis was over. Next, he only needed to help Cheng Xinxin recover as soon as possible, and then it would be time for a major counterattack.
