Chapter 1 The Ruthless Bandits of Magu Island

The bandits of Magu Island, the most ferocious and inhumane group in the entire Dongyun Nation, were now excitedly wielding their laser weapons, attacking Xu Jingming, who wore a grim mask.

They seemed to already envision the masked man being riddled with laser fire.

But they had no idea what a Level 28 martial artist meant!

Xu Jingming could sense all the sounds, smells, and countless fluctuations on the entire island. This allowed him to perceive everything within a ten-mile radius with extreme clarity. The further out, the more blurred his perception became.

Within ten miles, even the rolling of dew on a leaf, the fluttering of a mosquito's wings, could not escape his senses.

Naturally, Xu Jingming could also sense the heavily guarded surveillance network, the numerous laser cannons, and the patrolling bandits.

"The technology of this world is not bad. The Magu Gang spared no expense in developing Magu Island. The outer island is relatively lax, but the inner island's surveillance network is heavily layered, leaving no blind spots. Even I… cannot infiltrate silently," Xu Jingming thought. As he moved, lasers from the laser cannons and the bandits' weapons rained down on the spot he had just occupied.

In terms of movement speed, Xu Jingming was naturally no match for the speed of light.

But the moment the weapons were activated, Xu Jingming had already dodged.

"Whoosh."

Like a gust of wind, Xu Jingming flashed past the bandits, who didn't even have time to react. One by one, the laser cannons malfunctioned, each damaged beyond repair.

In an instant

"Where is he?" The bandits were dumbfounded. Then, they realized their necks were leaking air and bleeding. They covered their necks in horror. It turned out that only a few wisps of finger force were enough to sever their necks.

The laser cannons were either twisted or damaged, making it impossible to tell what weapon had destroyed them.

Magu Island, Inner Island, Surveillance Center.

"Enemy intrusion."

"The defense weapon system can't stop him at all!"

"How is this possible?"

The gang members in the surveillance center couldn't believe it. The technological weapons of the seven human nations were quite powerful, and the Magu Gang had spent a lot of effort in building the island. The one-armed leader stared at the fleeting figure on the screen. "Magu Island's defense weapon system is enough to withstand martial artists below Level 25. No martial artist from the seven human nations can break through the defense system!"

"Judging by his movement speed, barely sonic, he should only be around Level 20. How can the defense weapons not stop him?" The one-armed leader couldn't believe it.

The other gang members were also puzzled.

The seven human nations could stand tall among the myriad races because of their vast array of technological weapons. The national-level weapon systems could even threaten Level 30 martial artists! It was not easy for other races to swallow this tough bone.

The Magu Island's defense weapon system was certainly not as powerful as a nation's, but it had reached the level of defending against a Level 25 martial artist.

But now, the defense system couldn't stop this masked man!

"He's heading straight for our surveillance center."

"He's coming."

"How does he know this is the surveillance center?"

The gang members panicked.

"Boom!!!"

The gang members looked up in horror as the entire building exploded and collapsed, burying all the gang members inside.

Xu Jingming, wearing the mask, watched the collapsing fortress-like building. He had destroyed it with just one punch.

"The power control of this punch was perfect, shattering all the machines in the surveillance center," Xu Jingming thought with satisfaction. From beginning to end… he had only displayed the destructive power of a Level 20 martial artist.

Of course, being able to avoid the defense system was due to his Level 28 sensory ability.

Xu Jingming turned to look in one direction, somewhat puzzled. "Why is Ni Yun, the second of the Ni family's four sisters, here too?"

Inside a brightly lit building on Magu Island's inner island, a group of well-dressed people were seated.

"Next is auction item number 20," the host said with a smile. A young girl, terrified and uneasy, was sitting on a chair, her hands and feet bound. Dozens of other girls were held in cages behind her; these were the subsequent auction items.

Ni Yun was among the dozens of imprisoned girls.

Ni Yun was pale and filled with despair. Three days ago, she had been traveling with friends when their entire group was kidnapped by bandits in a spacecraft. Each of them faced a different fate.

Some were sold for their organs, some were enslaved, and some were taken away for experiments…

She was sent to Magu Island to be auctioned off.

"I'm actually being auctioned off," Ni Yun muttered, looking down at the number 25 on her chest. Her turn would come soon.

"Auction item number 20 is 23 years old, a Level 3 martial artist, and still a virgin. She has been pampered since childhood. Just look at how good her skin is. According to our Magu Island assessment, she is a top-grade B3 item," the host said with a smile. "The starting price is 1.5 million."

"2 million."

"2.1 million."

The guests immediately began bidding.

With its strength, the Magu Gang dared to do any business that made money! They disregarded the law, sheltering criminals, trafficking in humans, buying and selling organs, gambling, lending money, robbing, and all sorts of other businesses.

A beautiful girl could easily sell for millions, and a hundred of them would be worth billions. The human trafficking business was naturally very profitable. The entire human society hated human trafficking, but what could they do?

Magu Island's inner island sheltered a large number of criminals. What could the seven human nations do?

At this moment, a core executive of the Magu Gang, ranking among the top three, was sitting in a private room. This was a middle-aged man with a thick beard and cold eyes.

"Shenyi, an enemy has infiltrated the inner island."

"The defense system can't stop him at all. He's heading for our surveillance center."

"Not good, he's here."

The middle-aged man watched everything on the screen. As the surveillance center collapsed, all signals were cut off.

"The Magu Island inner island defense system can't stop him? How is that possible? There is no one above Level 25 in the current human race. Impossible!" The middle-aged man's eyes were dark. "Most likely, it's collusion from within. Someone inside is manipulating the defense system to help him infiltrate."

"Magu Island has a traitor? And a traitor who can manipulate the defense system?" The middle-aged man didn't think too much. "I need to leave here. It's too dangerous."

The middle-aged man got up to leave, completely ignoring the ongoing auction.

Boom!

Suddenly, a terrifying force crashed through the layers of walls. A hand instantly grabbed the middle-aged man's neck, and with a boom, they shattered the glass layer, finally appearing in the center of the auction site.

Xu Jingming, wearing the grim mask, grabbed the middle-aged man's neck as if he were picking up a chick, his gaze sweeping across the entire auction site. He also saw the auction items held in cages, including "Ni Yun."

"Ni Yun is actually here. If I hadn't come here today, she would have been bought," Xu Jingming thought.

Although the Ni family's four sisters had lived a wealthy life since childhood, and the Ni family was quite well-off, an ordinary businessman was just an ant in front of the Magu Gang.

"I had to force my way in to get to Magu Island's inner island," Xu Jingming said, holding the middle-aged man's neck, smiling as he looked at the many guests. "But you guests can sit here in such splendor. You must be Magu Island's most loyal customers."

The guests in the audience vaguely felt uneasy.

"Human trafficking? The Magu Gang deserves to die, and you guests deserve to die too," Xu Jingming, wearing the grim mask, said softly.

As soon as he said this, the guests' expressions changed.

"My master is the first in line to inherit the Tieyun family! Throughout the seven human nations, no matter what power you represent, if you dare to touch my master… you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

"Martial artist, do you recognize me?" An elderly man stood up angrily. He was also a big figure in Dongyun Nation.

"Dealing with the Magu Gang is a small matter. The guests here come from all over the seven human nations. You can't afford to offend them. Don't bring disaster to the family behind you," a woman said coldly, crossing her legs.

"Hahaha, I'm so scared."

Xu Jingming, holding the middle-aged man's neck, laughed, his laughter echoing.

The guests' faces changed.

"Stop laughing."

"Stop it."

The guests covered their ears in pain, and bodyguards burst forth, charging toward Xu Jingming.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!" Suddenly, in the large area in front of Xu Jingming, whether it was the bodyguards who had rushed over, the guests who were sitting there, or the gang members standing in the corners, their bodies exploded in an instant, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

This scene stunned the middle-aged man, Magu Shenyi.

"They're all dead? They're all dead?" The middle-aged man couldn't believe it. The gang members standing in other locations were also trembling.

"These honored guests' bodyguards were all Level 18 martial artists. They were just shattered into blood mist by sound waves?" The middle-aged man looked at the masked man in horror, feeling that the masked man was too terrifying and insane.

Xu Jingming looked at the spreading blood mist. "A bunch of scum!"

"The security in the seven human nations is too poor and chaotic. I will be living in this world for hundreds or even thousands of years after all," Xu Jingming thought. "When I have the strength to openly display it, I'll reshape the order of the seven human nations."

The prerequisite for openly displaying his strength was to truly stand at the peak of the myriad races, perhaps not becoming the first, but at least being in the top few.

That was when he would openly reveal his strength and reshape the order of the human race.

As for now?

Xu Jingming didn't take the act of casually crushing some vermin seriously.

"You killed so many honored guests from the seven human nations?" The middle-aged man looked at Xu Jingming and couldn't help but say, "Do you know what kind of revenge you will face?"

"Revenge?" Xu Jingming smiled. Wearing the grim mask, his smile was very sinister. "Haha, I'm so scared!"

As he laughed, an invisible fluctuation spread around.

One by one, the gang members' hearts exploded silently, and they fell to the ground.

"They're all dead." The middle-aged man was shocked. He hadn't even noticed the masked man taking action, but the other gang members were dead.

Boom.

Xu Jingming grabbed the middle-aged man and disappeared in a flash, arriving in an empty hall.

"Wait here." Xu Jingming threw the middle-aged man to the ground. The middle-aged man lay there, feeling that his limbs were numb and he couldn't move at all.

Three seconds later.

Whoosh.

The masked man threw another person in, a fat man weighing over five hundred pounds. The fat man saw Magu Shenyi and said in horror, "Young Master Magu, I can't move. My whole body is numb."

Five seconds later, the masked man threw in another person, a beautiful young woman.

"Okay, you three are the true high-level executives of the Magu Gang on the island," Xu Jingming said, looking at them. His ears could collect all the sounds on the island, so he had naturally locked onto the identities of the three.

Magu Shenyi, the fat man, and the young woman looked at each other. Most of the Magu Gang's executives kept their identities secret, but the masked man knew everything.

"How much money can you mobilize?" Xu Jingming tapped on his watch, displaying an account number. "Transfer all the money to this account in the Myriad Races Bank."

Since it wasn't time to reveal everything completely, he still had to buy many body refinement methods with money! Xu Jingming felt that… looting Magu Island should be enough for him to buy the subsequent body refinement methods.

This would also mislead the pursuers who came later. The pursuers would never have imagined that the source of the person who killed so many honored guests and looted the entire Magu Island was actually because of Youfeng.

"The Magu Gang is truly useless! I let them manage Magu Island, operate this gold-digging den, and even equipped them with a sufficiently strong defense weapon system, yet they were still invaded by the enemy." Outside Magu Island's inner island, an old man with white hair and a hat walked step by step towards the inner island.

"Just a Level 20 martial artist. In the end, I still have to take action."

"I came to Magu Island to retire. Oh well, I'll loosen my muscles and crush a little guy." The white-haired old man's eyes were cold.
