Annihilation (2)

After jumping away, Fanxin finally breathed a sigh of relief. What pleased him even more was that the other party did not pursue him. Obviously, Ren Fang's move had caused him a lot of trouble, leaving him a bit confused and unsure of what to do.

"Bang."

A tremendous explosion resounded, and a massive shockwave erupted from the man's body, spreading in all directions and instantly engulfing the entire island.

Everyone on the island was affected.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fanxin Xin flew into the sky, thus avoiding the impact. Cheng Xinxin followed Fanxin and flew into the sky as well, temporarily abandoning her hunt for the bald man. The shockwave was very strong; if she had been hit, she would probably have been injured. Once her strength was reduced, she would not have been able to confront him.

"Third Brother?" The bald man saw the long-haired man explode, his eyes turning blood red. He didn't dodge and charged straight at him.

He completely ignored the shockwaves from the explosions and, in a few flashes, arrived at the spot where his third brother had exploded. However, when he got there, there was nothing left; everything had turned into a bloody mist, scattered all around.

"Fanxin, I will never let you get away with this. You just wait."

The bald man stretched out his hands, and a mist of blood drifted down, landing on his hands and instantly staining them crimson. Sensing that familiar feeling and recalling the happy days they had spent together, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he descended into a state of madness.

He had no intention of escaping; he had only one thought in his mind: to kill Fanxin. Only by killing Fanxin would the hatred in his heart dissipate.

"Hehe, come on, I've been waiting for you." The Fanxin high in the sky naturally heard the other's shout and smiled calmly.

He activated his hands and created another Birdcage, trapping the entire island. It seemed he wasn't planning to let the bald man go either.

He planned to follow the same method, completely forcing out the forbidden power within the opponent's body, and then gradually eroding the opponent's strength.

"Die!" The bald man didn't even glance at the Birdcage before leaping into the air and soaring high above.

In a few flashes, he arrived beside Fanxin and threw a punch without hesitation. The punch shattered the air and was unstoppable in its path.

"Heh heh, much weaker. Unless you use forbidden power, you won't be a match for me." Fanxin sneered and kicked out, striking his opponent in the stomach.

He was faster than his opponent, so that before the opponent's fist even reached him, his foot was already at the opponent's abdomen.

With a bang, the bald man was kicked backward, flying like a kite with a broken string.

Cheng Xinxin darted out with a smile, waiting in the path the bald man was bound to take, her delicate feet raised, ready to strike at any moment.

Although the bald man was furious, he wasn't out of his mind. He knew what was going on, so the moment Cheng Xinxin darted behind him, he immediately snapped back to his senses. Before he even reached Cheng Xinxin's side, he leaped into the air and continued charging towards Fanxin.

"Since you dare to hide from me, you're asking for death."

Although the bald man's action avoided Cheng Xinxin's attack, it still greatly displeased Cheng Xinxin, as she felt that he was ignoring her existence.

She glared fiercely at the bald man's retreating figure, then twisted her body and followed him.

Just as the bald man was about to make a move, she kicked out with her foot, striking him in the back.

The bald man's expression changed slightly. This Cheng Xinxin had been trembling with him earlier, and her strength was not weak. The two had been fighting for a long time without a clear winner, which made him very frustrated.

If he had killed Cheng Xinxin, he could have had time to help his older brother, and his brother wouldn't have died.

Therefore, he dared not be careless in the slightest, and shifted his body to avoid the opponent's attack.

Bang

However, at that moment, Fanxin rushed over and kicked out, forcing the man back to his original position. The man's expression changed slightly, because at that moment, Cheng Xinxin's attack had already reached behind him. He was caught red-handed as soon as he returned.

Wow

The man couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Cheng Xinxin had used all her strength in that kick, so he was naturally seriously injured.

"I'm here too."

Taking advantage of his weakness to kill him is an excellent opportunity, and Fanxin would never let such a good opportunity pass by. Although it seems a bit shameless for the two of them to bully the same person at the same time, this is not a formal martial arts competition, but a life-or-death struggle. Since that's the case, the two sides can only fight to the death, and no amount of despicable methods is too much.

He charged forward, slashing out with his sword, aiming straight for the other man's neck.

Sensing the terrifying and sharp aura emanating from the knife, the bald man didn't hesitate. Enduring the intense pain, he immediately darted away to avoid the two men.

However, Fanxin was not worried. He kept shrinking the Birdcage, reducing the space inside so that it would be impossible for him to escape.

Cheng Xinxin relentlessly pursued him, giving him no chance to reconsider.

Fanxin was observing the overall situation and manipulating the Birdcage, so he didn't immediately make a move. The man was trapped, and escape was impossible.

Their combined strength far surpasses his; for the other party to defeat them would be an insurmountable challenge.

Half an hour later, the Birdcage had shrunk to the very center of the deserted island, leaving the three of them with very little room to move around. Hiding and dodging was no longer an option; they had to rely on their own abilities to fight.

Seeing that they were surrounded on all sides, the bald man knew he had no way out. He coldly looked at Fanxin and Cheng Xinxin and shouted, "Don't think you've won this time. Even if you kill us, you'll still be the losers."

"Oh, what makes you say that?" Fanxin looked at the other party with a sense of relief. At this moment, the other party was already under his control, and he was not in a hurry to kill him.

"Your souls are still bound by chains," the bald man immediately shouted.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin waved his hand dismissively and said, "Don't worry about that. We can handle it ourselves. If that's what you're talking about, then you'd better shut up."

"You have a way to solve this?" The bald man was taken aback, clearly quite surprised by Fanxin's words.

"Good. Anything else? I can give you time. If not, then I'll have to make my move." Fanxin brandished his knife, his face filled with urgency. Killing this guy would put their minds at ease. Although he knew that only a few such powerful individuals were still alive, they were probably already in another dimension. For them to be able to move freely between the two worlds like they were was practically impossible.

Even if they find a way in the future, they won't be afraid anymore, because by then, the imprisonment of their souls will probably have been gradually lifted over time.

"You..." Seeing Fanxin's indifferent expression, the man was quite annoyed. This guy was completely unpredictable.

"You're stammering, are you out of ideas? If you're out of ideas, then stop talking nonsense." Fanxin was getting annoyed and didn't want to hear anything more. He leaped up, rushed over, and, to the other party's horrified gaze, swung his sword down with a fierce strike.

The bald man was furious. He had originally wanted to use this news to intimidate Fanxin and make Fanxin give in, but he didn't expect Fan Xin to be so ruthless and completely like a mad dog.

Anyone would find it incredibly frustrating to deal with a creature that disregards everything and only acts according to its own whims.

"Heh, bald guy, don't try to tempt us. We don't care about any threats anymore. If the sky falls, so be it. The only thing we need to do is hunt you down, understand?" Seeing the bald man's humiliated expression, Cheng Xinxin couldn't resist making a gloating sarcastic remark.

She's absolutely right. They can't possibly deal with all those threats, but they can certainly solve this big problem.

Therefore, they have absolutely no need to listen to the other party's endless nonsense.

"You guys really are a bunch of lunatics." The bald man coughed up blood in frustration. Seeing Fanxin charging towards him, he had no choice but to fight with all his might.

Fanxin twisted his body strangely and appeared behind the bald man, thrusting his knife straight at the man's back.

The bald man grinned menacingly and, without hesitation, immediately activated the forbidden power within his body. However, he only broke one layer of the seal, not the entire seal.

Because he still wanted to live, once the seals were completely broken, their life force would rapidly dissipate, and at that point, even if he killed Fanxin and Cheng Xinxin, he himself would perish.

Therefore, he can't push himself that hard.

However, he was unaware that, facing the combined attack of two powerful beings, preserving his strength was tantamount to courting death.

Previously, the long-haired man had removed all the seals on his body, but he still couldn't subdue Fanxin. Now he's trying to subdue Fanxin and Cheng Xinxin by simply removing one more seal—that's pure wishful thinking.

"Go, kill him as soon as possible." Fanxin gave Cheng Xinxin a wink, and Cheng Xinxin nodded slightly, rushing over to gang up on the opponent.

The bald man was radiant with golden light, as if he were made of gold. Under the golden light, the hardness of his body increased dramatically.

Fanxin Xin's slash didn't even leave a mark on him; it was as if he had struck a piece of gold.

Cheng Xinxin's kick was similar; although it hit the opponent, it didn't cause any harm.

"What's going on?" Fanxin was stunned. This was definitely unusual. His knife was incredibly sharp. He had previously used the knife, which was covered in blood-red Haki, to wound the disheveled man. At that time, the other party had also broken the seal, and it was a three-layered seal at that.

Now, this man had merely broken a seal, yet he was able to block his attacks, which puzzled and intrigued him greatly.

"Could it be..." Cheng Xinxin stared at the other person for a long while, a thought flashing through her mind, and her fair face suddenly became serious.

"What's wrong? Did something come to mind?" Seeing Fanxin expression on Cheng Xinxin's face, Fanxin's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked.

"Fanxin, we're probably in big trouble." Cheng Xinxin's expression was unusually grave, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor.

"What's the trouble?"

Fanxin was still puzzled. He stared at the bald man for a moment and asked curiously.

"I've heard my ancestors say that their abilities seem to be shareable. Your abilities can be passed on to me, and mine can be passed on to you. And if one of them dies, their abilities will be transferred to the remaining survivors."

Cheng Xinxin's pretty face turned slightly cold, and she said with some helplessness, "At the time, I didn't pay too much attention, because even our ancestor wasn't entirely sure. But just now, I saw through it all. The other party had only broken one layer of the seal, yet he was comparable to a long-haired man who had already broken three layers of the seal. So I'm certain that the guy's abilities were transferred to him, which is why his combat power and defense have increased dramatically."

"What? Is that so?" Fanxin Xin was shocked upon hearing this. If what Cheng Xinxin said was true, then his actions just now had not actually succeeded; he had merely caused the other party to transfer their abilities.

"That's right, you must have noticed it too, his strength is much greater than before," Cheng Xinxin said.

Fanxin pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but smile wryly. He had seen the changes in his opponent's strength firsthand; how could he not see that his opponent's strength had increased significantly?

He shook his head helplessly, not expecting to encounter such a situation. However, since this was the reality, he could only do his best.

"Those guys probably won't commit suicide, will they?" Fanxin was a little worried. This guy was already very strong now. If those guys trapped in their small world committed suicide and transferred their power, then they would be in big trouble.

"Hehe, they won't commit suicide, and with so many magical beasts attacking them inside, how could they dare to transfer their power over? Unless they're courting death. So, the power that's increased on this guy is probably from the one you just hunted."

Cheng Xinxin smiled calmly. No one wants to die unless forced to, so she was certain that those trapped in the world were also doing their best to escape in order to save their lives.

"That's good, but this guy is not easy to deal with either. There are still two seals on him that haven't been broken." Fanxin a slight sigh of relief, but at the same time looked at the bald man with some worry. The other party's strength was already comparable to his own when he fused with five hundred Diamond Beast. If he were any stronger, he probably wouldn't be able to face him.

"Can't you fuse with Sea Kings? Then go and fuse with Sea Kings," Cheng Xinxin said.

"It's not here. If we leave, this guy will escape, and then we'll have to go through all that trouble again," Fanxin said helplessly.

"Hehe, we can take this opportunity to brand him with a tracking mark, right? Then we can go find him. However, I believe he won't run away, because his eyes are full of murderous intent; he clearly wants to completely annihilate us," Cheng Xinxin said calmly.
