"What's with this ability? The black smoke seemed to be able to devour everything.”
The red hound frowned. The barren land in front of him shocked him. This was the first time he had seen such a strange ability. This power seemed to be able to devour everything.
"Liberation."
With a low shout, a large amount of darkness appeared above his head like a tornado. Following that, endless debris was thrown out from the darkness. These were all the objects that he had devoured with the power of darkness previously. Now, he released all of them at once and threw them towards the red dog.
"Humph."
Looking at the countless objects that were thrown at him, the red hound snorted coldly in disdain. He punched out with his lava giant fist, and all the objects that were thrown at him were blown away and burned by his lava. They could not hurt him at all.
"It is indeed ineffective."
Gu Xuan was not surprised when he saw that the Red Hound was unharmed. He did not expect such an attack to hurt the Red Hound, who had a natural lava fruit. However, he did not expect the Red Hound to counterattack with such a powerful attack.
He turned around and retreated once again. Gu Xuan retreated, and the red hound naturally gave chase with all its might. The two of them, one running and one chasing, began to chase around the island. The red hound might be stronger than Marko, but it was not as strong as Marko in one aspect, and that was that it could not fly. If it wanted to catch up to Gu Xuan, it could only rely on its legs like Gu Xuan.
In terms of strength, Gu Xuan might not be as good as the Red Hound, but in terms of physical strength, he was not the slightest bit inferior. Years of war, coupled with several months of continuous long distance running, he was more experienced than the Red Hound in this aspect.
Gu Xuan did not just run away. Occasionally, he would even fight with the red dog. Although he knew that he was not a match for the red dog, he was still looking for an opportunity to see if he could find the red dog's weakness and perhaps launch a counterattack.
Unfortunately, the Red Hound's all-rounded abilities were beyond his imagination. No matter how he probed, he could not do anything to the Red Hound. On the contrary, in the process of several exchanges, he was injured by the Red Hound because the Red Hound's attacks were too unreasonable. Even if his Dark Fruit ability could absorb a portion of the fruit's attack, it could not absorb it completely. Moreover, he could not touch the Red Hound's physical body at all, so it was impossible to eliminate the opponent's Demon Fruit ability.
Because he was being chased by the scarlet hound, Gu Xuan had no way of going out to sea. Otherwise, with his small boat, going out to sea would be courting death. However, if he continued to wander on this island, he would have no way to retreat. Therefore, he was trying his best to think of a way out.
Finally, Gu Xuan was forced into a desperate situation by the Red Hound. He was blocked by the Red Hound at the edge of a cliff, which made him very depressed. It was not that he did not want to escape to a crowded place, but because the navy had placed many people in the town. The Red Hound would also use all his strength to stop him every time he wanted to go to a crowded town. This caused him to not be able to reach a crowded place at all, so in the end, he was blocked by the Red Hound.
"Red Hound, is there a need for you to fight so hard?”
Seeing that there was no way out, Gu Xuan calmed down and turned to ask the red dog.
Red Hound's expression was not relaxed either. Although he had suppressed Gu Xuan during the chase and escape, he had also discovered how difficult it was to deal with Gu Xuan. If it were any other person, he would have long since taken them down. However, Gu Xuan's tenacity had exceeded his expectations, and he was also very energetic. The two of them had not only run, but also continuously fought, which had exhausted a lot of their stamina.
For the Red Hound, he had encountered countless opponents in his decades of battle. Gu Xuan was not the strongest, and was even far from being the strongest. However, Gu Xuan's tenacity was definitely one of the top few opponents he had encountered.
In fact, Gu Xuan's strength was not bad, but there was a gap when compared to the Red Hound. He had just added a few points to his physique, so his body was in its best condition. Therefore, even when facing the Red Hound, he would not appear dispirited.
"Pirates like you who have violated justice deserve to die.”"I wanted to spare your life, but it seems like you don't want to cherish it. Since that's the case, let me finish you off here and now."”
As he spoke, deep red lava emerged from his body. Clearly, he was already tired of being entangled with Gu Xuan and was prepared to kill Gu Xuan instead of capturing him.
"That will depend on whether you have the ability or not, Red Hound." Gu Xuan also said fiercely.”
A large amount of darkness erupted from his body, and endless darkness eroded the surroundings.”
Gu Xuan's fists erupted forth, and both fists were covered in the color of armor as they smashed towards the red dog. The red dog stood on the spot and blocked all of Gu Xuan's punches. No matter how tricky the angle of Gu Xuan's punches was, it was unable to hurt the red dog at all.
"Get lost!"
With a fierce roar, the red dog dashed out like a fierce tiger. The deep red lava seemed to cover the entire world, sealing all of Gu Xuan's escape routes. The lava and darkness collided.
The darkness formed by the Dark Fruit formed a black curtain in front of him. The lava attacked the darkness, but it did not break through the darkness. Instead, it was slowly swallowed by the darkness. The Dark Fruit not only had the effect of eliminating the fruit ability of others, but it could also absorb the ability of the attack of the Demon Fruit ability user. The Red Hound's attack was a fruit ability attack, so naturally, a portion of it could be absorbed. This was also the biggest reason why he could block the Red Hound's attack. Otherwise, just relying on the darkness... It was impossible to defend against the extremely lethal lava fruit.
Although the darkness had the devouring power of a black hole, it couldn't absorb everything. The Lava Fruit's ability was different from the fruits Gu Xuan had encountered in the past, and its destructive power was stronger. Thus, Gu Xuan could still withstand it once or twice, but as time passed, it became even more difficult for him to withstand it.
"Dark acupoint!"
After releasing a large amount of darkness, Gu Xuan rushed towards the red dog at his fastest speed. If he wanted to get close to the red dog and defeat it, the only way was to get close to the red dog and make his Lava Fruit ability ineffective. However, if he were to face physical techniques, he might still have a chance of winning.
The battle between the two of them was extremely loud. The entire cliff valley was shattered into pieces. Coupled with Gu Xuan's dark acupuncture point, the battle scene became even more chaotic, and gravel and debris were everywhere.
"Hell Dog!"
"Puff!"
The Crimson Hound's ultimate move, Hell Hound, transformed into the strongest lava fist and smashed into Gu Xuan, who had nowhere to dodge. Only those who had experienced the might of this Hell Hound would know, just like Gu Xuan at this moment.
After being hit by this punch, Gu Xuan spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. His eyes were filled with shock. Just now, he had already used the Aura of Knowledge to know about the attack of the red dog. Even so, he still could not completely dodge it. The Aura of Knowledge was not invincible after all. When faced with an attack that could not be dodged, there was still nothing he could do.
