Chaos (2)
"Destroy the Holy Land? What's your purpose?" Fanxin looked around. This place was larger than any island he had ever seen, but he wasn't worried because his strength was enough to destroy the Holy Land if he unleashed his full power. However, he didn't understand what the benefit would be of destroying it.
Although their enemies were on the Holy Land, they weren't fools. Even if they destroyed the place, those guys could still keep their lives. So, without a good reason, he wouldn't do it; it would be time-consuming, laborious, and thankless.
"Of course." Cheng Xinxin nodded with a smile.
"Oh, tell me about it." Seeing that Cheng Xinxin had a good idea, Fanxin Xin immediately became interested and quickly asked.
"Beneath the Holy Land lies a castle built by those guys. Inside the castle are countless defenses. If we try to break in step by step, we'll inevitably suffer heavy losses and waste a lot of time, which is extremely disadvantageous for us. However..." Cheng Xinxin's thin lips suddenly curled up slightly, revealing a mocking expression, and she said, "If we destroy the entire Holy Land, their plans here will be completely disrupted. More importantly, once the Holy Land is destroyed, the seawater will surge in, and those guys won't even have a place to stand. How will they fight us then?"
"Hmm, what you said makes sense." Fanxin nodded slightly, but then added, "But then, we won't have anywhere to stay."
Aside from certain aquatic creatures, no one else can walk freely in seawater.
The vast majority of them are human, making it even more impossible for them to fight in the deep sea. As a result, while they caused great trouble for the evil forces, they themselves were actually trapped and unable to extricate themselves.
"Hehe, we can wrap ourselves in Soul Power. Clothes formed from Soul Power have amazing power. Haven't you tried it?" Cheng Xinxin said calmly.
"You have this ability?" Fanxin shook his head, looking quite surprised.
"Your family is really something, why didn't they tell you some cultivation methods?" Cheng Xinxin said helplessly. Actually, these weren't secrets at all; a brief explanation from the family elders would have been enough. However, Fanxin knew nothing about it, leaving her at a loss for words.
"Hehe, I've been a pirate all this time and haven't been home, so I don't really know much about the Soul Clan." Fanxin laughed awkwardly. It was laughable that someone from the Soul Clan wouldn't know much about them.
"Looks like your family's been letting you roam freely like a sheep on the open sea?" Cheng Xinxin waved her hand and said, "Never mind that, let's get down to business. Let's do it this way."
"Alright, but none of my companions are from the Soul Clan, which is a bit of a problem." Fanxin glanced at his companions behind him, somewhat troubled. They had all come to fight, and if they couldn't participate, it would be quite distressing.
"They're really in a bit of a predicament." Cheng Xinxin glanced behind her and saw everyone looking at her with puzzled expressions. Cheng Xinxin was also a little troubled.
"Hehe, don't worry about that, we have coral reefs, which will allow them to fight in the water." Ren Fang, who had been silent all along, spoke up now, a faint, confident smile on her face.
"That's a good idea, but what if the coral reef breaks?" Fanxin still looked worried. Coral reefs have their limits; if those limits are exceeded, the coral reef will be destroyed. And at that time, the people inside the coral reef will likely suffer.
Upon hearing this, Ren Fang frowned slightly, feeling somewhat troubled. She hadn't thought too much about it before, but upon reflection, it did seem a bit inappropriate.
After all, their opponents are no ordinary people. A fierce battle in the sea could easily break through the coral reef. In that case, they would probably have to worry about self-preservation, let alone fighting.
"Alright, let Bingfeng create a Continent of Ice later. You can fight on it and take care of those who are trying to escape, one by one. What do you say?" Fanxin looked at Ren Fang, who had a melancholy expression, leaned over, put his arm around her waist, and comforted her.
Ren Fang pouted helplessly and sighed, "Alas, it seems there's no other way."
The ocean floor is dangerous, and although they really wanted to go down, they knew that doing so would cost them their lives.
So they decided not to go. It wasn't out of cowardice, but because they didn't want to cause trouble for Fanxin. If they couldn't help, they didn't want to make things worse, otherwise things would get very complicated.
"Okay, then let's do it this way." Fanxin breathed a sigh of relief when Ren Fang agreed. If Ren Fang had insisted on going down with him, he would have had no way to stop her.
He immediately summoned everyone over, discussed the matter, and then had everyone take their places.
"Did you all understand?" Fanxin looked around and said gravely, "You must remember this: our opponents are very strong. Even I have to go all out, even risk my life, to fight them. Therefore, you cannot be careless in the slightest, understand?"
"Understood." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Okay, Little Black Cat, come with me. You two can tell me what's going on outside anytime, anywhere, so I'll be aware of everything." Fanxin beckoned to the Little Black Cat, and the Little Black Cat leaped up and landed on Fanxin's shoulder.
"Okay." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"You should leave this Holy Land for now. This place will soon cease to exist. If you stay here, you will be affected." Fanxin waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
Soon, everyone left, leaving only Ren Fang and the Little Fox behind.
Ren Fang was reluctant to Fanxin, worried that something might happen to Fanxin, so she wanted to stay with Fanxin a little longer. The Little Fox was her personal bodyguard, so it didn't leave either.
"Don't worry, I'll live. I don't want to die. No one can kill me," Fanxin Xin said confidently.
Upon hearing this, Ren Fang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I remember. Protect our daughter well, understand?"
"Don't worry, no one can hurt our daughters." Fanxin nodded, his expression resolute. Those two children were his daughters; he would fight anyone who dared to harm them.
"Okay, don't worry about me, I'll take good care of myself," Ren Fang assured her.
With no worries about anything else, Fanxin could devote herself wholeheartedly to the battle. She was the person Fanxin was most worried about, so she absolutely couldn't let anything happen to her.
"Hehe, that's good." Fanxin hugged Ren Fang tightly, then released her after a moment, and said sternly, "Little Fox, she's in your care now. Don't let anything happen to her, okay?"
"Hehe, don't worry." The Little Fox smiled calmly, his face full of confidence.
"Go ahead." Fanxin that both of them nodded solemnly, Fan Xin knew that they would protect him and wouldn't let him worry, so he didn't hesitate any longer. Those guys had already started, and they didn't have much time to waste.
Under the Fanxin, the two swiftly headed towards the sky beyond the Holy Land, soon disappearing from sight.
He smiled and slowly turned his head. As soon as he turned around, he saw Cheng Xinxin staring at him with a smile. Fanxin was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You have a good relationship with your crew and with your wife," Cheng Xinxin said.
At such a crucial moment, Fanxin patiently explained to the wealthy and hungry people what to do, which shows that Fanxin values these people highly.
Fanxin was nothing like the pirates she had in mind—fierce, ruthless, and cold-blooded—which greatly surprised her.
"We all came from the East Blue, and we've been through thick and thin together, so naturally we're close." Fanxin looked into the distance, ceasing the discussion, and said calmly, "Let's get started. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go home."
"Okay." Cheng Xinxin didn't want to delay any longer. She shifted her beautiful eyes forward, and her originally smiling face slowly turned cold, replaced by an icy expression.
"I'll take the lead, and you'll support me. No objections, right?" Cheng Xinxin said calmly after glancing at him.
Fanxin was taken aback for a moment, then didn't bother to argue and said, "Fine, I'll do as you say!"
He didn't care too much about who would lead the attack, since their goal was to defeat that evil force and liberate their souls; who struck first was not important.
"Okay." Cheng Xinxin nodded, her beautiful eyes blinked slowly, and her aura suddenly changed, becoming sharp and domineering, as if a peerless ferocious beast had awakened.
Noticing the change in Cheng Xinxin's aura beside him, Fanxin's face showed a look of surprise. He had previously thought that this girl was a bit weak, and he was worried that she would not be able to control the situation. However, at this moment, he was completely relieved. The aura she exuded was so powerful that she was definitely not an ordinary person.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "He really is a man of hidden talent."
However, he was still very excited about his companion's formidable strength, since his improvement would be a great help to him.
"Not bad!" Fanxin said with a smile.
"Hmph, decades ago, I was a powerful figure. If it weren't for waiting for you, I wouldn't have fallen into a deep slumber. Decades have passed, and some people have probably forgotten my existence. In that case, let them recall those terrifying scenes from back then today." Cheng Xinxin smiled coldly.
As the young master of the Ghost Clan, his strength is naturally beyond question. After all, every young master possesses Conqueror's Haki. Anyone with Conqueror's Haki, as long as they train diligently, will definitely be quite powerful.
Back then, she also roamed the high seas. There weren't as many pirates as there are now, but they weren't few either. She was known as a female demon on the seas because she would defeat the strongest person in every place she went. Although she didn't kill them, it was still enough to shock people.
In that era, almost no one dared to claim dominance over her, because she was too terrifying.
However, in order to wait for the young master of the Soul Clan, she reluctantly chose to fall into slumber. Although decades have passed, her strength has not diminished; on the contrary, it has subtly become stronger.
Therefore, she believed that once she made a move, she would surely make those arrogant fools realize how terrifying she was.
"Hehe, that's good, let's get started." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said. As he spoke, he drew his knife and looked ahead with a serious expression.
Cheng Xinxin nodded slightly, summoned her Haki, which enveloped her entire body. She bent her body slightly and then sprang out, arriving at the very center of the Holy Land in no time.
She swung her fist, flipped over, and slammed it directly into the center of the Holy Land.
Fanxin was taken aback, but he jumped over after her. His purpose was to assist her, so he naturally couldn't stray too far from her.
"Explode!" Cheng Xinxin plummeted like a meteorite, landing in the very center of the Holy Land. She slammed her hand into the ground with tremendous force, unleashing an extremely powerful force from her seemingly delicate hands.
That force traveled through the ground and straight underground.
Bang bang bang bang...
Suddenly, a series of explosions rang out, followed by the earth beginning to tremble uncontrollably, and spiderweb-like cracks spreading outwards from the center of the Holy Land in all directions.
Fifteen seconds later, with a loud "bang," the entire Holy Land exploded, breaking into countless pieces, with cracks extending all the way to the depths of the seabed.
The surrounding seawater surged in, instantly filling the cracked area of Holy Land, and the castle located beneath Holy Land was also flooded. The people living inside began to flee in panic.
Fortunately, they had made emergency preparations and put on diving suits, which saved them from drowning. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have even had a chance to escape.
"Fanxin, it's your turn," Cheng Xinxin snapped.
Although her attack was powerful, it did not completely destroy the Holy Land; it only shattered the Holy Land and damaged Holy Land underlying structure. She was somewhat helpless, not expecting the structure beneath the Holy Land to be so formidable.
However, she wasn't worried anymore, because there was a powerful figure beside her. As long as he delivered the finishing blow, it should be enough.
"Alright." Fanxin Xin chuckled, leaped into the air, and once high in the sky, he summoned his twin swords, which were covered in a red aura of Haki. After preparing them, he did not hesitate and slashed down at the shattered Holy Land below.
He held nothing back, hacking and slashing continuously. No one knew how many strikes he made; the red sword energy completely obscured the entire Holy Land, making everything invisible.
He immediately jumped down and landed next to Cheng Xinxin. They looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
"Those guys are going to cry now. They've completely destroyed this place, and they can't continue doing those shady things anymore," Cheng Xinxin said with a gloating expression. A cold glint flashed in her eyes. These guys had been binding the soul of her family, which made her very unhappy. She didn't have the power before, but now, she could completely destroy this place.
