What Kind of Person Is This

Shadow Island.

Neon lights flashed, dazzling the eyes.

The nightlife was about to begin, and the pedestrians passing by were full of smiles. Xiong Fen and his father, along with the crowd, got out of the car. Wearing white hard hats, they chatted and laughed at the intersection.

"Another perfect day! Let's keep up the good work and strive to finish early!"

"There is really no work left for today, so let's stop grinding here. Let's grab some late-night snacks and take a break!"

After a few greetings.

The crowd followed the father and son into the restaurant. A perceptive waiter immediately stepped forward to greet them.

"Manager Xiong, Junior Manager Xiong, please take a seat in the private room!"

The father and son, both dressed in suits, sat in the primary and secondary seats respectively. Even though they already held considerable status, their expressions remained peaceful, gradually developing an unfathomable aura.

Seeing this, Lei Qianjue, who was sitting at the same table, could not help but praise them.

"The two managers are truly young and promising. We are truly ashamed of our inferiority."

Even though this father and son had cultivated for quite a few years, they were still too young in front of several ancient existences. Hearing such praise at this moment, they quickly cupped their fists in modesty.

"Elder Lei, you flatter us. We father and son just have good luck. We arrived at our Shadow Island a bit earlier, which is why we have our current fortune."

"Exactly, exactly, it is purely out of good luck. If we really talk about skills, Elder Lei and you seniors are the ones who command admiration. In just a few days, you have already been promoted to supervisors, and even that is somewhat a waste of your great talents!"

"Your magnificent presence in the previous battle is still vivid in our minds!"

The more the father and son spoke, the more emotional they became, vying with each other to offer words of praise. Their discernment and emotional intelligence far exceeded their cultivation bases, making even the seniors listen with expressions of enjoyment and constant laughter.

Therefore, even though their cultivation bases were stronger, they were still willing to work under Xiong Fen and his father.

The atmosphere in the private room grew increasingly enthusiastic, until Jiang Yuan sighed with emotion.

"Indeed, as the two of you said, being able to enter Shadow Island in this life is truly a great blessing for us!"

As soon as these words were spoken, voices of agreement pushed the atmosphere to a climax!

"Elder Jiang said it well!"

"That is right! No matter what existences there are on other planets, compared to our Shadow Island, they are not worth mentioning!"

"More than that! The Nine Heavens Sword Maiden who appeared earlier seems to have stepped into the supreme realm, yet she is still the Mister's servant. With the Mister overseeing Shadow Island, even in the entire galaxy, absolutely no one would dare to act out of line in front of him!"

"Yes, yes, yes! With the Mister here, our Shadow Island is unmatched! There are also the personal disciple lords, and the legendary protector lords, each of whom is a terrifying almighty being. Who would dare to provoke our Shadow Island?"

...

Fueled by the alcohol, the group became more and more excited as they spoke.

Even the waitress serving the dishes, who accidentally overheard this topic, chimed in with a look of pride.

Although these were drunken words and perhaps a little arrogant, Jiang Yuan did not refute them. Instead, he smiled and nodded, his face full of agreement.

Indeed, as everyone said, Shadow Island was probably invincible in this galaxy.

This kind of glory was something even the Cloud Star of the ancient era could hardly match!

Looking out the window at the dazzling buildings, Jiang Yuan's feelings grew even more profound. He could no longer imagine what realm that Mister had reached. The thought of anyone daring to make an enemy of him would only draw a laugh from everyone present.

Beside him, Xiong Zhong, his small face already slightly flushed from drinking, leaned in with a wine glass.

"Come, come, come, Old Jiang!"

"Let us toast this glass. As long as we keep grinding in the future and work hard for our Shadow Island, we will definitely make a massive profit in this life!"

The words were crude, but the reasoning was sound.

Jiang Yuan knew deeply that this was a great fortune, so he smiled and raised his wine glass.

"Alright."

Just as everyone was celebrating and clinking their glasses.

Suddenly!

A deafening boom rang out from outside the window!

"Bang!!!"

The terrifying sound startled everyone into a daze. Before they could react, they felt the restaurant begin to sway, and a violent tremor shook beneath their feet. Various chaotic shouts seemed to come from not far away!

In an instant.

Xiong Fen was so shocked that his drunkenness completely vanished, his face filled with astonishment!

"An earthquake?!"

He looked at the crowd in surprise, but no one responded.

Including his father and Jiang Yuan, everyone stood blankly by the window, gazing into the distance.

Seeing this, Xiong Fen grew even more bewildered and alarmed, quickly leaning in for a closer look.

With this look, the wine glass in his hand also fell to the ground!

"Crash!"

The crisp sound not only echoed in Xiong Fen's ears, but his heart also began to churn incessantly.

In his line of sight.

The crowd on the long street in the distance was filled with panic. It was unknown where the explosion had just occurred, nor what exactly had happened. It looked as if they were fleeing from a disaster. Shadow Island had never seen such a scene before.

The next moment.

Suddenly, a person darted out from the darkness, running madly towards the crowd. Terrifying cultivation power continuously gathered around his body, with strange colors intertwining like a sunset glow, making even Jiang Yuan reveal panic in his eyes!

"What a terrifying cultivation base!"

"Oh no! This person seems to be trying to self-destruct!"

As soon as these words rang out, the eyes of everyone around widened in shock!

A cultivation base that even Jiang Yuan feared—what would be the consequences once he self-destructed?

They simply did not dare to imagine!

Just as the masses were horrified, a figure blocked the path in front of the crowd.

The newcomer was none other than the Second Young Master, Wu Tao!

Today, he changed his usual lazy demeanor. His face was somewhat solemn as he spat out a toothpick and softly muttered.

"This lunatic..."

"Although it is not enough to hurt me in the slightest, I absolutely cannot let them destroy the city. To be safe, there cannot be even a one-in-a-ten-thousand chance of error. Not a single one can be let off!"

"This street will be protected by me, Wu Tao!"

With that, Wu Tao stretched out his hands and channeled his willpower!

The next moment.

A billion clones surged onto the long street like an ocean. Even though this road stretched for miles, it was packed to the brim. The moment one person popped their head out, before their terrifying self-destruction could spread, they were overwhelmingly crushed beneath the massive sea of figures!

Everything that happened in just a few breaths made everyone stare with wide eyes!

"So it was a desperado self-destructing!"

"Fortunately, the Second Young Master stepped forward! If it were not for this personal disciple lord, I am afraid the explosion just now would have caused heavy casualties!"

"To actually be able to cause damage to our Shadow Island, the intruder is indeed no ordinary person!"

"Who on earth is it that dares to launch a sneak attack on our Shadow Island?"

The more the crowd spoke, the more nervous they became, their eyes intertwining with suspicion and anger!

Especially Xiong Zhong, who was so furious on the spot that he started cursing loudly!

"Damn it!"

"Where did this dog come from, daring to run wild on our Shadow Island! That is the road I just finished building today. If I catch the culprit, I will definitely slice him into a thousand pieces!"

Saying this, Xiong Zhong was about to rush out in a fit of rage.

But the opponent could even destroy the asphalt road, showing just how terrifying their cultivation base was. Furthermore, they were a desperado, so facing them head-on was completely out of the question!

Xiong Fen deeply understood the crisis of the situation, so he hurriedly pulled Xiong Zhong and the others to escape the restaurant, fleeing along with the panicked crowd.

At the same time.

In the northern district of the city.

Near the waste disposal and recycling station.

Master Lu clenched his fists, looking grimly at the dark shadow in the distance.

The person's origin was unknown, and their unfamiliar aura was extraordinarily unusual, leaving him astonished. What was even more terrifying was the frightful killing intent dissipating in the air, which even made Master Lu tremble with fear!

Suddenly.

The opponent continuously gathered their cultivation power. That terrifying coercion caused the pressure in Master Lu's heart to soar!

He subconsciously prepared to activate his divine abilities, yet he did not have much confidence in his heart, nor did he have the time to wonder where such an existence had popped out from!

An ominous premonition suddenly welled up in his heart—he was afraid he was going to perish here today!

Right at the critical moment.

Li Taibai appeared right before his eyes, riding backwards on a green ox. With a sudden flick of his sleeve, he gritted his teeth and distorted the space around the black shadow. The terrifying self-detonation was instantly transferred to an unknown location.

It was not until the black shadow completely disappeared from sight that Li Taibai finally let out a long sigh of relief, his temples already seeping with sweat from the exhaustion!

Witnessing all of this, Master Lu's back was completely drenched in cold sweat!

...

In the urban-rural fringe.

Another black shadow rippled through the void. Endless cultivation power continuously gathered upon its body as it charged madly toward a high-rise residential building!

Fortunately, Hong Fengkuang appeared just in time. With an even more maniacal posture, he tightly locked the figure in a death grip. Just as the opponent's cultivation and flesh were about to detonate, Hong Fengkuang forcefully pushed it back with an identical explosive shockwave, matching the power and cultivation base flawlessly!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of explosions continuously rippled outward, though their destructive power was far weaker than before.

In just a short instant, manipulating tens of thousands of identical explosions to counter the blast consumed a terrifying amount of mental energy and cultivation. If it had been anyone other than Hong Fengkuang, they would never have been able to accomplish such a feat.

A few breaths later.

The muffled sonic booms finally subsided. Hong Fengkuang's physical body had been blown into various fragments. Although he managed to reshape his form, he was left panting heavily, supporting himself with his hands on his knees, his face revealing deep exhaustion!

Huff... huff...

"This master's art is the strongest!"

Similar anomalies continuously occurred in various parts of the city. Personal disciples appeared almost simultaneously, exhausting all their strength to stop the sudden assaults, plunging the entire Shadow Island into panic.

Less than half an hour later.

The night raid was finally suppressed. All the disciples gathered in the central grand conference room. Most of them wore exhausted expressions as they took turns recounting what they had witnessed.

After listening to the reports.

Su Yunyun's expression was grave, her eyes full of shock and suspicion.

"Who exactly are these people? To think they infiltrated our Shadow Island to carry out such a frenzied and deranged attack?"

"Whether it is their cultivation base or their ruthless methods, they are by no means ordinary..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room became even more oppressive.

All the disciples looked bewildered, none of them having the slightest clue. Even the highly regarded Mo Tianji simply shook her head slightly.

"I do not know either."

"I could only divine that a great calamity would occur tonight, but as for who is responsible, there is no trace to be found."

Hearing these words, the entire conference room fell into dead silence.

An unprecedented sense of crisis silently enveloped the skies above Shadow Island...
