Cosmic Professional Gladiator-Chapter 712 - Another Companion

712 Another Companion
The surveillance center on the inner island of Magu Island had been destroyed, leaving the bandits blind. The deaths of the three core upper echelons had only worsened the situation, causing a panic among the residents.

“Oilwind.”

Xu Jingming was taking a quick stroll on the inner island as though it was his back garden. He moved at an alarming pace, covering 100 meters with each step, and without the surveillance, he silently arrived at a residential area.

What’s going on today? Oilwind was on his balcony, watching some gang members rush into the distance. Why are the patrols running away in a panic? Also, what was that sound? What happened?

Xu Jingming had destroyed the surveillance center with a single punch, causing chaos on the island.

Magu Island has been stable for years, and even Eastern Cloud can’t do anything to it. It should be nothing. Oilwind walked back to his room, unaware that he was the reason for the unprecedented crisis.

I’ve transferred all the company’s funds. I’ll hide on Magu Island for a year before going overseas, Oilwind thought to himself. It’s enough to last me for the rest of my life. Magu Island is safe, but it’s too expensive. The annual protection fee is ten million.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted his thoughts. “Oilwind.”
Startled, Oilwind looked up and saw a blurry figure standing on his balcony.

“You, you…” He stuttered, thinking it was another fugitive living on the inner island. “Bro, we live on the inner island and can’t kill each other.”

“Do you still remember Jing Yulong?” the figure asked.

Oilwind was surprised. Jing Yulong?

Jing Yulong has sent someone to deal with me despite me being on Magu Island’s inner island?

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and collapsed to the ground, his hand clasping his chest.

Xu Jingming walked out onto the balcony and watched Oilwind take his last breath.

In the early days of my descent into this world, I only wanted to cultivate peacefully. I didn’t want to show off or cause trouble, but you forced me to make a move. Xu Jingming shook his head gently, before turning to leave.

…

Xu Jingming walked around the inner island, his senses extending up to five kilometers. He could clearly see the ‘crimes’ that were happening on the entire inner island, causing his eyes to turn cold.

“Who are you?”

“Halt.”

A group of well-equipped bandits outside a building held laser weapons and confronted him from afar.

Xu Jingming wore a ferocious mask and muttered, “A bunch of scum.”

His words seemed weak, but they silently struck the bandits’ bodies.

They revealed terrified expressions, feeling as though their bodies were uncontrollable bombs. Finally, their bodies exploded like watermelons.

“Stop him.”

“An enemy invasion!” The chaos spread through the building.

Xu Jingming took a step and crossed dozens of meters, appearing in front of the building and punching the wall with lightning-like force.

The first half of the building collapsed like gravel under the precise control over his force, but the second half remained intact. The force transmitted into the building, deforming the bandits’ bodies and causing them to die tragic deaths with blood flowing out from all seven orifices.

“A powerful warrior.”

“Run!” The bandits who survived gave up all resistance, their spirits broken.

Xu Jingming continued walking, flicking his finger to kill some of the remaining gang members.

Inside the second half of the building, hundreds of people were imprisoned, including children, women, and young men. They looked out in unease and horror.

“Mom, is that the person here to save us?” a child asked softly, his arms around a woman’s leg.

The woman covered the child’s mouth, and Xu Jingming glanced at them before leaving.

If I let them out now, they’ll get lost in the chaos and probably die, he thought to himself.

Xu Jingming continued to destroy several sinful places on Magu Island and wreaked havoc on the defense weapon system.

The most intimidating thing on Magu Island’s inner island was the defense weapon system. Xu Jingming had destroyed the surveillance center, and now he was destroying all the weapons he saw.

…

In the auction center on the inner island, Ni Yun and the other girls were still trapped in their cages, terrified and uneasy.

Xu Jingming appeared in the middle of the hall, wearing a ferocious mask. He casually picked up a communicator from the corpses on the ground, and a projection of a smiling female police officer appeared.

“This is the National Security Center. How may I help you?” The policewoman was a little surprised to see Xu Jingming wearing a ferocious mask.

“Lady, I’d like to make a police report,” Xu Jingming said with a smile.

“Please speak,” the policewoman said.

“This is the auction center of Magu Island’s inner island,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “I’ve already destroyed the inner island and the defense weapon system. You can send someone to take over this place.”

The policewoman was taken aback. “What did you say?”

“There are over 1,000 trafficked people on the inner island of Magu Island. Please settle them down,” Xu Jingming continued with a smile. “Also, please pass on a message to your director, Zhang Beixiu, and the family head of the Jinhuang family, Jinhuang Fuchen. If these pitiful people aren’t settled down, they can forget about living.”

“This is just a kind reminder.” Xu Jingming held up a corpse. “Also, don’t rebuild Magu Island. I don’t like this place. This is Jinhuang Yi’s corpse, and it’s a warning to the Jinhuang family!”

The policewoman’s expression changed drastically. “Jinhuang Yi?”

Almost everyone who had any ambitions in martial arts knew the name Jinhuang Yi. He was a legendary warrior who had become famous in Eastern Cloud.

“Lady, I’ll sign off now.” Xu Jingming smiled in a friendly manner, crushing the communicator and leaving the auction center.

He didn’t save Ni Yun on purpose.

There were many trafficked people, and saving only one would only bring her trouble.

…

Xu Jingming piloted his small aircraft and left the huge airport. Most of the area around the airport wasn’t monitored, since the outer island was very lax.

After more than an hour, Xu Jingming returned to Jianghan City.

After dealing with Oilwind, I can live a quiet life again, he thought as he put down the spear case on his back and looked at the black bag covering it. The black cloth bag was common, and he carried the spear case most of the time when he was outside.

With the spear in hand, his strength increased greatly.

*******

Meanwhile, a large number of police officers from Eastern Cloud arrived at Magu Island on over 100 military aircraft.

Zhang Beixiu walked with a plump man, surrounded by a large number of police officers on the inner island of Magu Island.

“Director, almost all the Magu Gang members have fled the island,” a police officer reported.

“We rushed over in just two hours. Tens of thousands of gang members left Magu Island in two hours?” Zhang Beixiu shook his head. “Our internal department is filled with spies.”

He glanced at the plump man beside him.

“That person was too terrifying. He scared off all the gang members, right?” the man replied with a smile.

This plump man was the uncrowned king of Eastern Cloud—the family head of the Jinhuang family, Jinhuang Fuchen.

“Where’s Elder Jinhuang Yi’s corpse?” Jinhuang Fuchen asked.

“At the auction center on the island,” a police officer replied.

“Let’s go over,” Director Zhang Beixiu said.

They arrived at the auction center with a group of people.

The women in the cages had been released and were registering their information, including Ni Yun. She immediately noticed the arrival of Zhang Beixiu and Jinhuang Fuchen.

“Jinhuang Yi’s corpse.” A police officer pointed at the corpse covered in a blue cloth.

Zhang Beixiu and Jinhuang Fuchen stepped forward to take a look. Both were legendary warriors, with one being a high-ranking member of Eastern Cloud’s police and the other the uncrowned king.

“There aren’t any serious wounds on the surface,” Zhang Beixiu lifted the blue cloth and looked at the corpse. “From the looks of it, it’s an internal injury—an internal injury capable of killing Jinhuang Yi. This person’s strength is terrifying.”

Jinhuang Fuchen looked at the corpse in confusion.

“Director, many of the guests participating in this auction are important figures from the seven human countries.” A police officer handed the information list to the director.

Zhang Beixiu’s expression changed when he saw the list. “This murderer is crazy.”

“We’ve restored a portion of the auction center’s surveillance data. Director, take a look.” Another female police officer walked over, and a video appeared on the projection, attracting Zhang Beixiu and Jinhuang Fuchen’s attention.

In the video, among the many guests, a female customer crossed her legs and said coldly, “Dealing with the Magu Gang is trivial. The guests present are all from the seven human nations; you can’t afford to offend them. Don’t cause trouble for the family behind you.”

“Hahaha, I’m so afraid.” Xu Jingming—who was holding Magu Shenyi back then—laughed.

His laughter caused the customers to cover their ears in pain, and the seemingly strong bodyguards exploded into a bloody mist.

The video shocked Zhang Beixiu and Jinhuang Fuchen.

“Just a laugh can kill so many people, including Lv. 18 warriors,” Zhang Beixiu murmured. “When did our Eastern Cloud Nation produce such a figure?”

…

Late at night.

Jinhuang Fuchen returned to his luxurious residence in Jianghan City and watched the videos gathered from Magu Island.

Whoosh.

A phantom suddenly appeared, condensing into a thin man with short hair and a scarred face. His eyes were cold and emotionless.

When Jinhuang Fuchen saw this, he immediately bowed respectfully. “Your Excellency.”

“This is the mysterious expert you mentioned?” the thin man asked, watching the video.

“Yes, Elder Jinhuang Yi died at his hands without any detectable fatal injuries,” Jinhuang Fuchen answered. “The elder’s corpse has been brought back. Your Excellency, you can take a look.”

“The brain,” the thin man said.

Jinhuang Fuchen was stunned.

“Jinhuang Yi’s fatal injury is his brain,” the thin man continued. “The force transmitted to Jinhuang Yi’s brain was so powerful that it turned it into mush.”

“I see,” Jinhuang Fuchen replied, unsurprised that the other party knew the cause of injury without seeing Jinhuang Yi.

“We checked all the videos on Magu Island and confirmed that the murderer bought a mask on the outer island.” Jinhuang Fuchen pulled up a video.

In the video, Xu Jingming bought a mask and deliberately smiled at the surveillance footage.

“We can tell what he looks like from this video, but we can’t find out his identity even with our databases on slightly famous figures in the seven human countries,” Jinhuang Fuchen said.

“Because he changed his appearance,” the thin man said calmly. “At his strength, he can become a three-meter-tall giant or a one-meter-tall dwarf. His facial bones and muscles can also be easily changed. The looks you see are all faked.”

“All faked?” Jinhuang Fuchen was surprised.

“Collect information on him in secret,” the thin man said indifferently, “but don’t be his enemy! Not to mention the Jinhuang family… All the families in Eastern Cloud together are nothing to him.”

“Yes, Your Excellency,” Jinhuang Fuchen replied respectfully.

The thin man watched the video and smiled. What a good day. I’ve discovered another high-dimensional companion. I wonder who will go further between you and me?
