The Three Trials (2)

"Doing this will affect your Soul Power."

Although Cheng Xinxin was somewhat grateful to Fanxin for helping her clan, at this crucial moment, Fanxin's actions would undoubtedly weaken their fighting strength, which would be detrimental to their battle.

"Hehe, isn't this exactly what those guys need? I'll just satisfy them."

Fanxin raised an eyebrow slightly, saying dismissively, "Those guys made this thing simply to exhaust the power within him, which would greatly reduce his combat strength."

However, he was not afraid. His power was not Soul Power, but the Haki given to him by his ancestors. As for Soul Power, with the domineering Haki of his ancestors in his body, he could frantically devour the Soul Power around him and was not worried about his Soul Power being exhausted.

"Alright, stop overthinking it. Those guys want to wear me down? They'll have to see if they can. Let's go." Fanxin looked at the door ahead and shouted, "That seems to be the entrance. In that case, let's go straight in and see what they can do to me."

Seeing that Fanxin didn't seem to care, Cheng Xinxin knew that there was no point in saying anything more. Although she was worried, at this point, they had no choice but to continue.

Walking inside, Fanxin suddenly kicked the door open, revealing a dark hole. The inside exuded an eerie atmosphere that made one feel uneasy.

"Hehe, dare to come in? I've set up three tests for you. If you can pass them, then I'll admit defeat. If you can't, then you're just out of luck." A light laugh came from inside.

"Hmph, why should I pass your three tests?" Fanxin raised an eyebrow slightly and said with some dissatisfaction.

"There's no other way. This is how we imprisoned your souls back then. Only by passing these three trials can you completely liberate your souls; otherwise, you will be imprisoned for eternity."

The owner of the voice sighed softly and said, "Actually, you could live peacefully as long as you don't rebel against us. Ever since your ancestors defeated us, we've understood that it's impossible to completely annihilate you. So, we deliberately imprisoned your souls to make you wary. This way, you won't dare to target us, and we can avoid interfering with each other."

"It's a pity, though. Although we held back, you still wouldn't let up. In that case, a major battle between us is inevitable."

"Hmph, don't try to fool us. You've actually been targeting us all along. That great war between the Soul Clan more than a decade ago was orchestrated by you. The reason you didn't eliminate us immediately is simply because you weren't capable enough. If you were capable, do you think you would have let us go?" Fanxin revealed a disdainful smile. He hated these self-righteous guys the most. They clearly wanted to wipe us out, yet they spoke so arrogantly.

He felt disgusted just listening to it; if he could see the other person right now, he wouldn't be wasting his breath here.

"Hehe, not bad, I do want to wipe you out. Your existence is ultimately a scourge. After all, you possess a terrifying power. Once you activate Conqueror's Haki, you can break free from our control. This is an unpredictable factor, so we naturally can't ignore it." Seeing Fanxin expose his ugly words, the owner of the voice wasn't angry, because he knew his lies couldn't fool these two.

"If that's the case, then stop saying those disgusting things to me," Fanxin said with a cold snort.

"Alright, since that's the case, from now on, you'll begin to pass three trials. After that, you'll be free," said the owner of the voice.

"Sorry, we won't go through." Fanxin shook his head and said with a cold smile. He didn't know what tricks the other party had played inside, and if they did as they were told, they would definitely be the ones who suffered.

"Then you won't have any freedom," the voice said with a laugh.

"Hmph, if we kill you all, then we'll be free. And I have a different perspective on this freedom," Fanxin said.

"Oh, what insights?" the owner of the voice asked curiously.

"You may be able to imprison us, but you can't affect us. And I can tell you, we don't need to come here to gain our freedom. It may take some time, but that's not a problem; we can wait. The reason we came here is to kill you."

Fanxin Xin sneered, "Because you've made us very uncomfortable. Only by killing you will we feel at ease. Once you're dead, we'll be free. As for that so-called confinement, I don't care at all. This is my understanding of freedom, understand?"

His ancestor had lived in the alternate dimension for many years, passing down his lineage for several generations, and they were all living well. Moreover, he had noticed that his descendants no longer possessed the Soul Power of the Soul Clan, and their souls were not imprisoned.

Therefore, he felt that he could do the same, it's just that he would have to wait a long time.

However, since he is still alive, it is necessary for him to come here. He doesn't want to postpone things that could have been done for countless years.

"Oh, you actually have a way? That's unexpected." The owner of the voice paused for a moment, his tone becoming somewhat serious.

"Heh heh, the universe is so vast, how could you possibly control everything? Wake up! You're just one of the masses, wanting to dominate everything? What a joke." Fanxin drew his knife, summoning a crimson Haki that enveloped it. He swung it a few times and said coldly, "I have no interest in your so-called three trials, because I've always been a rule-breaker. If you're unhappy, then jump out and fight me. If you're a coward, then hide there."

"Xinxin, get started! Destroy everything here! If we still can't handle it, then we'll leave and go somewhere deserted to grow oranges and eat them," Fanxin Xin chuckled.

"Oranges?" Cheng Xinxin smiled upon hearing this. Yes, they still had this trump card. With it, they had absolutely nothing to worry about.

"Okay, I understand." Feeling reassured, Cheng Xinxin didn't bother to think about it anymore. Since everything was arranged, she had nothing to be afraid of. She immediately followed and walked step by step to the entrance.

Without Fanxin hesitation, Fan Xin swung his sword fiercely, slashing repeatedly without penetrating the defenses. Not only that, he also ordered the others to launch their own attacks.

Wang Yan's lava, Bingfeng's ice blocks, Lin Haicheng's bullets, and so on were all sent inside without any regard for the consequences. Under their frenzied attack, the passage began to sway precariously.

Fanxin merged with five hundred Diamond Beast again and continued his fierce attack. The ferocious attack caused the area to tremble, crack, and collapse.

Finally, the passage could no longer withstand the pressure and exploded completely with a bang.

These so-called three checkpoints are now practically defunct. Perhaps there were indeed some checkpoints inside, but they have been severely damaged.

"You bastard, you're asking for it." An angry voice came from the end of the broken passage, crashing down like thunder.

"Hehe, you're furious, aren't you? Yes, that's how it should be. We were just as furious back then, and you enjoyed it, didn't you? But now it's the other way around." Fanxin Xin chuckled. Seeing his mortal enemy raging made him very happy. For some reason, he felt an uncontrollable excitement.

"Boy, you've completely enraged me. You'll die a horrible death!" the voice roared.

"Hmph, is that so? I'll wait and see, but I'm afraid you don't have the ability," Fanxin said dismissively.

The other party wants him to solve the problem in his own way, which might be possible, but it would certainly come with many limitations, which wouldn't be good for him.

So he broke with convention, catching his opponent off guard. They probably hadn't expected him to act unpredictably.

"You wait, soon you'll understand what death truly means." The voice was cold and chilling, sending shivers down one's spine, but Fanxin simply smiled dismissively.

"Hehe, let's go. Wang Yan, burn this place down." Fanxin curled his lip, turned around and walked away. When he looked back, he gave the order to Wang Yan beside him.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan nodded slightly, her pretty face turning slightly cold as she looked at the broken passage. She had shown some mercy earlier because everyone was there, and she was worried about them being affected. However, now that everyone had left, she had no more concerns.

She quickly formed hand seals, and countless streams of lava appeared, rushing towards the inside as he instructed.

The lava was a deep, fiery red, scalding hot. Wherever it passed, rocks and even hard soil were burned away and turned into molten lava. The place had become a Magma World, with an incredibly high temperature.

Wang Yan pushed her abilities to the limit, holding nothing back. After a quarter of an hour, she slowly turned around and walked away into the distance.

Countless screams came from behind; those hiding in the secret passage must have been burned by the lava.

However, Wang Yan showed no mercy to those guys. Since he had decided to deal with them, he had to be prepared to die.

Soon after, she caught up with Fanxin and kept pace with Fanxin.

"Where should we go next?" Wang Yan asked curiously.

The guy originally said that if Fanxin passed three trials, everything would be resolved. However, Fanxin didn't follow his instructions and broke the rules. The passage was completely destroyed, and they could no longer complete any mission.

Now, the place they are in is so big that they have no idea what to do if they don't have a goal.

"Hmph, I don't know for now, but let's destroy this world as much as possible." Fanxin glanced around, then looked at Wang Yan and said, "You and Bingfeng are area-of-effect attackers, so go all out."

This is where those guys live; they must have planned something inside. He doesn't want to raid it one by one; destroying it would be best.

Wang Yan's eyes and Bingfeng's ice power, combined, could completely destroy this world.

The world has been destroyed; all those traps and such are gone. Those ragtag soldiers can no longer harm him.

And what they will ultimately face is the mastermind behind it all.

"That's right. We can't follow their plan, because they've set up many dangerous traps here. If we do as they ask, we'll be completely manipulated, and that would be troublesome for us." Cheng Xinxin said approvingly, "What we need to do is play unconventionally and leave them helpless."

"Okay, then." Seeing that Fanxin and Cheng Xinxin, the two in charge, had agreed to the plan, she didn't bother to say anything more. She called to Bingfeng and then got to work.

She unleashed lava on one side, while Bingfeng released ice blocks on the other, transforming everything in their path into a landscape dominated by lava and ice.

Fanxin and Cheng Xinxin watched, a sinister smile on their faces.

"Damn it, how dare you destroy my world like this! I will never forgive you!" After Fanxin and the others left, a black shadow suddenly appeared and landed on a hilltop.

His figure was shrouded in a black robe. He stared at the leisurely walking Fanxin, his face extremely gloomy. Even from a distance, one could sense the icy chill emanating from him.

Originally, he wanted to lure Fanxin and then trap him like a turtle in a jar, but he didn't expect Fanxin to be such an unpredictable person, which made him very frustrated.

They had been planning for so many years, and they thought they could have dealt with the Soul Clan and the Ghost Clan. They thought everything was under control.

They originally intended to force Fanxin into the passage they had arranged, and then use everything inside to slowly deplete Fanxin's power. However, all of this was completely shattered by Fanxin's unbridled attacks.

He was furious, but even more helpless. Encountering someone who didn't play by the rules, he felt like crying but had no tears.

"We have to wake them up. These guys look like they're going to completely destroy this place. I'm no match for them alone. I have to wake up the others too. They're very strong and have ruined all our plans. The grunts are useless and can't stop them at all. It seems we have no choice but to use our ultimate move," the shadowy figure muttered to himself.

He had already witnessed Fanxin's strength. Although he hadn't fought him personally, he could clearly sense from his aura that Fan Xin was a formidable opponent, not only because of his unbridled attitude but also because of the terrifying hidden power within him.

"Let's hope it succeeds. If we fail, we're all doomed." The shadowy figure's tone was somber. They had thought everything was under control, but unfortunately, they had failed.
