Chapter 1 Deep Night

It was late at night, and the bright moon hung in the sky.

Even in the residential areas of the upper district, the lights inside the houses were dim, with only the streetlights in the community still shining. Clearly, everyone in the residential area was already asleep.

Near the gate outside the community, Yi Kui respectfully approached Wang Xuanming, who was dressed in black, and carefully reported, "Mr. Wang, the lights inside the houses in the residential area are all off. Only some security monitoring facilities are still running. In addition, we found thirty-two autonomous combat robots patrolling. Their patrols within the residences have no pattern."

The upper district was incredibly safe not only because it belonged entirely to the Green God Group but also because even the weakest people who lived there for a long time had physiques comparable to horizontal refinement masters (a type of martial arts master).

Even though the upper district placed great importance on mental strength, everyone's combat skills were extremely high, making it difficult to take them down quickly.

In addition, there were autonomous combat robots everywhere in the upper district. Not only did these robots have extremely high artificial intelligence, but their entire bodies were made of titanium alloy and special alloys. Even a direct hit from a cannon would only cause minor damage. More likely, it would be impossible to hit these autonomous combat robots at all.

Because these autonomous combat robots possessed reaction speeds and physiques unimaginable to humans, their combat skills could be said to be comparable to Huajin grandmasters (a high level of martial arts expert).

In front of such autonomous combat robots, whether Huajin grandmasters or horizontal refinement grandmasters were just clouds. However, this terrifying technology was exclusive to the Green God Group and was used for various security tasks, making it the most powerful security equipment in the world. This was one of the reasons why major consortia around the world were very wary of the Green God Group.

Because of these autonomous combat robots, even horizontal refinement grandmasters did not dare to make any small moves in private, and at most would just spar openly.

"Thirty-two?" Wang Xuanming nodded. "Good. Give me their approximate distribution map."

He wasn't surprised that there were so many autonomous combat robots in a residential area, because this number was much smaller compared to the villa area. Ordinary villa areas had more than two hundred autonomous combat robots guarding them, making them like iron barrels. Only ordinary residential areas had some opportunities.

And this opportunity was only to teach the other party a lesson and injure them seriously. Because these autonomous combat robots were extremely fast, it would take a maximum of eight seconds from entering the house to the autonomous combat robots arriving. This was the basic setting for ordinary residential areas.

In such a short time, even a horizontal refinement master wouldn't have enough time to escape and would be immediately caught. It could be said that as long as one was discovered by an autonomous combat robot, one shouldn't even think about escaping. As for fighting the autonomous combat robot, that was suicide.

So the actual time left for combat was much shorter than that.

"This is the location of the thirty-two autonomous combat robots ten seconds ago." Yi Kui transmitted the data to Wang Xuanming's wrist-mounted optical brain, and thirty-two light spot coordinates immediately appeared on the holographic map.

Wang Xuanming glanced at the map and smiled faintly, "It seems that Xia Qingying of the basic level is quite good to him. This guard distribution leaves me with a maximum of seven seconds."

"Seven seconds?" Yi Kui couldn't help but frown and suggested, "How about I attract the attention of the autonomous robots for a while?"

Eight seconds and seven seconds seemed to be only one second apart, but for a horizontal refinement grandmaster, this time could create a distance of tens of meters, and the impact could not be underestimated.

"Don't worry." Wang Xuanming couldn't help but smile. "Not to mention this ordinary residential area, I've闯过 (chuǎng guò - braved/stormed) places more dangerous than this. Seven seconds is already enough for me."

Ordinary horizontal refinement grandmasters would probably find it difficult to deal with a Huajin grandmaster, let alone a Huajin grandmaster whose mental strength had reached an extremely high level. Their ability to control their bodies was not comparable to ordinary Huajin grandmasters. It would be even more difficult to teach them a lesson.

However, this was not a problem for him, because his mental strength was only a step away from becoming a master. His ability to control his body was not comparable to those ordinary horizontal refinement grandmasters, which was something Yi Kui and others could not imagine.

When his mental strength erupted with full force, he could completely kill a horizontal refinement grandmaster in a maximum of three seconds. As for seriously injuring them, it would be even easier, not to mention dealing with a Huajin grandmaster whose physical fitness was not very good.

Yi Kui didn't doubt this at all, because Wang Xuanming was a very famous figure in the upper district of Haitian City. He had even exchanged blows with Wang Xuanming once, which could be considered Wang Xuanming's guidance to him.

He was defeated after only exchanging one punch. After that punch, his entire arm was numb and he couldn't move it for a short time. And this was not Wang Xuanming's full strength.

Before that battle, he had never imagined that a person could be so powerful, almost like a superman. It was easy to teach Shi Feng a lesson.

After Wang Xuanming made some basic preparations, he also sneaked into the residential area alone.

Silently, even Yi Kui, who was watching with his own eyes, saw Wang Xuanming disappear completely in the small district road in less than two or three seconds, as if a breeze blew by, making it impossible to detect any movement.

"Has his ability to control his body improved again?"

Yi Kui looked at Wang Xuanming, who had long since disappeared, and felt a chill all over his body.

It was unheard of to reach such a terrifying level of control over the surrounding environment and oneself.

If Wang Xuanming were to target him, the consequences would be unimaginable…

At this time, Yi Kui was very fortunate that Lu Tiandi had a very good relationship with Wang Xuanming. If Lu Tiandi was an enemy of Wang Xuanming, then he, as a butler and bodyguard, would definitely die miserably.

While Yi Kui was amazed by the amazing methods displayed by Wang Xuanming, Wang Xuanming also dodged the autonomous combat robots and quietly came to the front of the room where Shi Feng lived.

The moment he arrived in front of the room, Wang Xuanming didn't rush in. Instead, he hid in the corner, quietly observing and feeling the surroundings, while comparing them to the distribution of the thirty-two autonomous combat robots on the optical brain.

Because as soon as he made a move, he could only forcibly break open the door. As for trying to open the door lock, that was a dream. As long as he forcibly broke the door, the nearby autonomous combat robots would act immediately. So he had to grasp the time precisely. He also had to plan the escape route afterwards in his mind in advance. Otherwise, he would definitely be caught by the autonomous combat robots.

"Good! A total of three escape routes."

"As long as I can teach Shi Feng a lesson within five seconds, I can completely escape this community."

Wang Xuanming calculated and simulated it through the optical brain and his own calculations. Then, his eyes turned to the door not far away. He directly put on a helmet to completely hide his identity. He took a step forward suddenly, silently, but in a blink of an eye, he came to the front of the door.

A horizontal kick directly broke the door, and the door opened instantly.

Suddenly, the alarm in the house rang. The six autonomous combat robots patrolling around also received the news immediately, and they all rushed towards Shi Feng's house.

Such an alarm instantly informed Shi Feng, who was lying in the virtual reality pod in the house. He forcibly disconnected the connection as soon as possible, and the speed was so fast that it didn't even take a second.

However, one second was very long for a horizontal refinement grandmaster. Even a two-hundred-square-meter house was enough for Wang Xuanming to pass through the long corridor in an instant and directly arrive at the center of the living room.

When Wang Xuanming came to the sixty-square-meter living room and was about to rush to the bedroom where Shi Feng was, he was stunned.

Because at some point, a person was sitting on the sofa in the living room, wearing a snow-white nightdress, with three thousand strands of blue silk scattered around her waist. Her eyes showed no joy or sorrow. Under the moonlight, she was like a fairy descending to earth, without any trace of worldly things, just quietly watching Wang Xuanming.

Wang Xuanming looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and joked, "Miss, your luck is really a bit bad. It's not good for your skin to not rest at this time!"

He didn't feel too surprised by this, because according to intelligence, there were two other beauties in Shi Feng's house. They seemed to be two beautiful vice presidents of the Zero Wing Guild.

Although meeting them directly might inevitably be a bit of a hindrance, it was not a problem for him at all.

Although Wang Xuanming said so, his feet didn't stop.

He almost came to Bai Qingxue's front in one step. Then, his feet turned, and he instantly transformed into three figures. The three figures drew out a hand blade, which not only instantly cut through the air, but also didn't make any sound, completely exceeding the speed of sound.

"You should take a good rest for a week first!"

The three hand blades fell at the same time. It could be said that they were almost completely indistinguishable in time. Plus the supersonic raid, even a Huajin grandmaster could only forcibly block two of them. It was impossible to take the third hand blade with human power.

The three hand blades fell on Bai Qingxue at the same time.

"Hmm?"

The moment the hand blade landed, Wang Xuanming was shocked.

Afterimage!

And at some point, Wang Xuanming sensed a graceful figure beside him. This figure was Bai Qingxue herself. But Bai Qingxue was still quietly scrutinizing Wang Xuanming as before. There was still no joy or sorrow in her eyes. She didn't have the slightest ripple for Wang Xuanming's attack.

"Damn it! Where did Shi Feng find this monster?"

Wang Xuanming was full of shock and incomprehension when he looked at Bai Qingxue at this time. He didn't even understand how Bai Qingxue could be so young.

Before they fought, he only faintly felt that Bai Qingxue should be more difficult to deal with. So he didn't hold back his strength from the beginning and planned to make a quick decision.

But after that moment of fighting, he fully understood how terrifying the Bai Qingxue in front of him was.

No!

It was no longer something that could be described as terrifying!

She was simply not human!

It was clear that Bai Qingxue's physical fitness was only at the level of a horizontal refinement master, which was much worse than him. But when Bai Qingxue dodged his attack, she seemed to know what he was going to do and dodged one step earlier. Even when dodging and moving, she avoided his perception.

The figure he saw before was just a false image of self-deception in his mind. From the moment he was about to attack, Bai Qingxue was no longer in that position…

And avoiding mental perception was not something that could be achieved overnight. It must be an extremely high technique honed through countless life-and-death battles.

Don't look at him as if he was a young man in his mid-twenties, but he was almost thirty-five years old. He had only recently touched a trace of the doorway.

But the white-clothed woman in front of him clearly reached an extremely high level in this field, so high that she could avoid his level that was only a step away from reaching the level of a mental master…

Thinking of this, Wang Xuanming rushed to the door almost immediately without stopping at all.

Because it was impossible to get a result in a short time fighting with such a monster. And his time was limited. If he stayed, he would be caught by the autonomous combat robots.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Xuanming came to the door. When he was only one step away from rushing out of the door, another graceful figure stood at the door, it was Shui Se Rose (Shui Se Qiang Wei).

"Looking for death!"

Wang Xuanming was very angry when he looked at the woman in the light blue robe blocking the way. Not only did the mission fail, but there was also a monster behind him. If the time was delayed, the autonomous combat robots would arrive.

So Wang Xuanming didn't hold back at all and suddenly launched a flurry of punches at the woman in front of him.

In an instant, more than a dozen fist shadows enveloped her. Each punch had the power to knock Yi Kui, a horizontal refinement grandmaster, away. Under this flurry of punches, gods would be killed if they blocked, and demons would be exterminated if they blocked!

Even a horizontal refinement grandmaster would cough up blood and fall to the ground!

But after the flurry of punches, Wang Xuanming was stunned.

His fists were like hitting the air. Not a single punch hit the woman in front of him. Instead, the woman in front of him was getting closer and closer to him.

Until Wang Xuanming punched out hundreds of punches in a row without any regularity, Shui Se Rose (Shui Se Qiang Wei) stood less than half a step in front of Wang Xuanming, who was more than two meters tall. A jade hand was imprinted on Wang Xuanming's heart.

It was clearly a gentle blow, but Wang Xuanming felt a sharp pain in his heart, which made him take two steps back to stabilize his body. He looked at the woman in front of him with an unbelievable expression.

"How is this possible!"

Monster!

Another monster!

At this time, Bai Qingxue also came behind Wang Xuanming, quietly looking at Wang Xuanming.

For a time, Wang Xuanming's face was unspeakably livid as he looked at Shui Se Rose (Shui Se Qiang Wei) and Bai Qingxue in front and behind him. He wanted to kill Yi Kui.

How did he investigate the intelligence?

Two inhuman monsters actually emerged in an ordinary residential area. This security was not even worth mentioning in the villa area…
