Wo Chi Xi Hong Shi
Chapter 33 Another Companion
With the monitoring center on Inner Magu Island destroyed, the bandits inside were all effectively blinded. On top of that, all three core leaders were dead. For a time, panic reigned within the bandit ranks.
"Oil Wind." Xu Jingming walked as if strolling through his own backyard on the quiet roads of the inner island. However, his pace was quick, each step covering over a hundred meters.
Without surveillance, and with Xu Jingming's strength, he quietly arrived in a residential area of the inner island.
"What's going on today?" Oil Wind stood on his balcony, looking into the distance. He could see some members of the gang rushing towards somewhere.
"Why are the patrolling gang members in the residential area running off in a panic? And that sound just now... what exactly is happening?"
Xu Jingming's earlier punch that collapsed the monitoring center had created a significant disturbance.
"Magu Island has been stable for so many years. Even the Dongyun Nation can't do anything about it. Nothing major should happen," Oil Wind thought as he walked back into his room. Little did he know that because of him, Oil Wind, Magu Island was about to face an unprecedented disaster.
"I've already transferred all the company's money away. I'll hide on Magu Island for a year, then go abroad to enjoy myself. It'll be enough for a lifetime of pleasure." Oil Wind sat in his chair, pondering. "Magu Island is a very safe place, and I can indulge in pleasure to my heart's content, but it's just too expensive! The protection fee alone costs ten million a year."
"Oil Wind." Suddenly, a voice rang out.
Oil Wind was startled and looked up, seeing a blurred figure standing on the balcony.
"You, you..." Oil Wind stammered. "Brother, we live on the inner island; we're not supposed to kill each other." He assumed it was someone else living on the inner island.
"Jing Yulong, do you remember him?" the figure on the balcony asked, and Oil Wind's expression turned to shock.
Jing Yulong?
He was living on Inner Magu Island. How could Jing Yulong send someone to deal with him here?
Suddenly, Oil Wind felt a sharp pain in his heart. He clutched his chest in agony and then collapsed to the ground.
Xu Jingming walked off the balcony, watching as the fallen Oil Wind gradually lost the signs of life.
"In the early days of descending upon this world, I only wanted to cultivate in peace and stability, not to be high-profile or cause trouble. You forced my hand." Xu Jingming shook his head gently and then turned to leave.
Xu Jingming walked on the inner island. His senses were incredibly sharp within a ten-li radius, gradually becoming blurred further out. However, even that allowed him to witness a great deal of the inner island's evil, and his eyes grew colder.
"Who are you?"
"Stop!"
Outside a building, a group of well-equipped bandits with laser weapons sternly rebuked Xu Jingming from afar.
Xu Jingming, wearing a ferocious mask, said softly, "A bunch of scum."
The sound waves he produced seemed weak, but as they silently impacted the bodies of the bandits, they revealed terrified expressions. They felt as if their bodies were uncontrollable bombs, and finally, "Boom," "Boom," "Boom," their bodies suddenly exploded, scattering like shattered watermelons.
"Stop him!"
"An enemy is invading!" Chaos erupted within the building.
Xu Jingming took a single step that spanned dozens of meters, appearing in front of the building. Then, he instantly threw a punch!
The punch was like thunder, smashing against the building's wall.
Buzz!
With exquisite control over his strength, the front half of the building collapsed like sand, while the rear half remained intact. Moreover, the force of the punch spread into the building's interior. Many bandits couldn't see any danger with their naked eyes, but the invisible force penetrated their bodies. They contorted, blood flowing from their orifices, and died tragically on the spot.
"There's a powerful martial artist!"
"Run!" The bandits who had survived by luck were on the verge of collapse and had no intention of resisting.
Xu Jingming continued to walk inside, casually flicking his fingers to release gusts of finger wind that killed off any remaining gang members.
In some of the cells in the building's rear half, a large number of people were imprisoned, including children, women, and young men, hundreds of them, all looking outside with unease and fear.
"Mommy, is that the person who's here to save us?" a child asked in a low voice, hugging a woman's leg. The woman immediately covered the child's mouth.
Xu Jingming glanced at these people and turned to leave. "If I release them now, they'll be scattered and confused. If they run into the bandits, many of them will probably die."
Xu Jingming continued to destroy several places of evil on Inner Magu Island, and he also thoroughly wrecked Magu Island's defense weapon system.
"Magu Island Inner Island's most deterrent thing is its defense weapon system." Xu Jingming had only destroyed the monitoring center earlier. Now, he wantonly destroyed all kinds of weapons he saw.
Inner Island, auction center.
Ni Yun and a group of girls were still imprisoned in their cages, filled with fear and unease. Xu Jingming, wearing a ferocious mask, appeared in the center of the hall. Amidst the corpses scattered on the ground, he casually picked up a communicator that was still on.
"Buzz."
A light screen appeared, and a female police officer smiled. "This is the National Security Center. What can I do for you?"
The female police officer was a little surprised to see Xu Jingming wearing a ferocious mask.
"Beautiful Miss, I want to report a crime," Xu Jingming said with a smile.
"Please speak," the female police officer said.
"This is the auction center on Inner Magu Island." Xu Jingming smiled. "The defense weapon system of Inner Magu Island has been completely destroyed by me. You can send people to take over here."
"What did you say?" the female police officer asked in astonishment.
"There are more than 1,000 people being trafficked on Inner Magu Island. Please arrange for their resettlement." Xu Jingming smiled. "Please help me convey a message to your Chief 'Zhang Beixiu' and the Jin Huang family's patriarch 'Jin Huang Fuchen': if these poor people are not properly resettled, the two of them can forget about living."
"Of course, this is a very friendly reminder." Xu Jingming smiled, holding up a corpse. "Also, don't rebuild Magu Island. I don't like this place. This is Jin Huangyi's corpse, and it's my friendly warning to the Jin Huang family!"
The female police officer's expression changed drastically. "Jin Huangyi?"
Anyone with even the slightest pursuit of martial arts generally knew the name Jin Huangyi. After all, he was a legendary martial artist who had long been famous in Dongyun.
"Beautiful Miss, I'll end the call now." Xu Jingming, wearing the ferocious mask, smiled kindly, snapped the communicator into pieces, and then strode out of the auction center.
He didn't save Ni Yun alone. Among so many people being trafficked, saving Ni Yun alone wouldn't be a good thing for her.
Xu Jingming piloted his small aircraft, leaving from the huge airport.
Most of the airport area was without surveillance. After all, it was the outer island, and it was very lax.
More than an hour later, Xu Jingming returned to Jiangnan City.
"With Oil Wind resolved, I can have some quiet days again." Xu Jingming put down the gun case he was carrying and glanced at the black bag covering it. This black cloth bag was still very common.
He carried the gun case with him most of the time when he was outside. With a long gun in hand, his strength could increase greatly.
When Xu Jingming returned to his residence in Jiangnan City, a large number of Dongyun Nation police officers had already arrived on Magu Island aboard hundreds of military aircraft.
Inner Magu Island, Zhang Beixiu and a portly man walked side by side, surrounded by a large number of police officers.
"Chief, almost all of the Magu Gang members have fled the island," a police officer reported.
"We only rushed over in two hours. Tens of thousands of gang members all left Magu Island in two hours?"
Zhang Beixiu shook his head gently. "Our interior has practically become a sieve." As he spoke, he glanced at the portly man beside him.
The portly man smiled. "That fiend was too terrifying, scaring away all the gang members, right?"
This portly man was the uncrowned king of all of Dongyun—the Jin Huang family's patriarch, Jin Huang Fuchen.
"Where is Elder Jin Huangyi's corpse?" the portly man asked again.
"At the inner island's auction center," a police officer replied.
"Let's go over," Chief Zhang Beixiu said.
Soon, Zhang Beixiu and Jin Huang Fuchen arrived at the auction center, surrounded by a crowd. The women in the auction center's cages had all been released and were registering their information one by one.
Ni Yun was among them, and she immediately saw the arrival of the two important figures, Zhang Beixiu and Jin Huang Fuchen.
"Jin Huangyi's corpse." A police officer pointed to the corpse covered with a blue cloth. Zhang Beixiu and Jin Huang Fuchen stepped forward to examine it.
One of them was a high-ranking police official in Dongyun Nation, and the other was the uncrowned king, both legendary martial artists.
"There are no serious wounds on the surface." Zhang Beixiu lifted the blue cloth, observing the corpse. "It seems to be internal injuries. Internal injuries that could kill Jin Huangyi... this fiend's strength is too terrifying."
Jin Huang Fuchen also looked at the corpse with a puzzled expression.
"Chief, many of the guests who participated in this auction are important figures from the seven human nations." A police officer handed the intelligence list to the chief.
Chief Zhang Beixiu's expression changed slightly when he saw it. "This fiend is truly crazy."
"We've recovered some of the auction center's surveillance data. Chief, take a look." Another female police officer walked over, and a video appeared on the light screen, attracting the attention of Zhang Beixiu and Jin Huang Fuchen.
In the video, among the many guests, a female guest crossed her legs and said coldly, "It's a small matter for you to deal with the Magu Gang. The guests present here are from all over the seven human nations. You can't afford to offend them. Don't cause trouble for your family."
"Hahaha, I'm so scared." Xu Jingming, who was holding Magu Shenyi at the time, laughed loudly. In his laughter, these guests painfully covered their ears, and those bodyguards who seemed extremely powerful exploded into blood mist.
The scene in the video made Zhang Beixiu and Jin Huang Fuchen's expressions solemn. "Just his laughter alone could kill so many people, including level-18 martial artists." Zhang Beixiu murmured, "When did a person like this appear in our Dongyun Nation?"
Late at night.
Jin Huang Fuchen returned to Jiangnan City. In his luxurious residence, he was watching some of the videos collected from Magu Island.
"Huff." A phantom figure condensed in the room. It was a lean man with short hair, a scar on his face, and cold, unwavering eyes.
When Jin Huang Fuchen saw him, he immediately bowed respectfully. "Sir."
"This is the mysterious expert you mentioned?" The lean man asked, looking at the video playing.
"Yes, Elder Jin Huangyi died at his hands, and there weren't even any fatal wounds visible," Jin Huang Fuchen said. "The Elder's corpse has already been brought back; you can take a look, sir."
"Brain." The lean man said.
Jin Huang Fuchen was stunned.
"Jin Huangyi's fatal injury was to his brain," the lean man said. "The terrifying force was transmitted to the inside of Jin Huangyi's brain, turning it into complete mush."
"So that's how it was." Jin Huang Fuchen wasn't surprised at all that the other party knew Jin Huangyi's injuries without even seeing him.
"We carefully examined all the videos from the entire Magu Island and finally confirmed that this fiend bought a mask on the outer island." Jin Huang Fuchen called up one of the videos.
In the video, Xu Jingming bought a mask, put it on, and even deliberately smiled at the surveillance camera.
"This video shows his appearance, but we compared it to all the data. We have a database of all the slightly famous people in the seven human nations, but we can't find his identity," Jin Huang Fuchen said.
"Because he changed his body shape and appearance," the lean man said calmly. "At his level of strength, he can turn into a three-meter-tall giant, or a one-meter-tall dwarf. His facial bones and muscles can be easily changed. The appearance you saw is all fake."
"All fake?" Jin Huang Fuchen was shocked.
"Secretly collect information about him," the lean man said indifferently, "but don't be enemies with him! Not to mention the Jin Huang family, all the families in your Dongyun Nation combined would be courting death in front of him."
"Yes," Jin Huang Fuchen responded respectfully.
"What a good day; I've discovered another high-dimensional companion." The lean man looked at the video, a hint of a smile appearing on his face. "I just wonder, who will go further, you or I?"
