A loud muffled sound, two robust arms of black and white collided hard. The jeep driven by Hei Shenke was blown away by the air explosion for dozens of meters, rolling over a dozen times on the ground. The bottle-shaped white energy burst out from Mo Hua's body, his body bounced up to tens of meters high, Hei Shenke also stumbled backward, retreating dozens of meters with one foot stepping on the other, barely stabilizing his body, only to hear the sound of leather shattering, Hei Shenke's boots were torn into countless pieces.

  Mahā's hands danced wildly in the air as he let out a strange cry, his hands waving about randomly. The white aura on his body suddenly transformed into a deep, dark, and gloomy black color. A thick layer of black energy waves wrapped around Mahā's body, resembling a burning coal ball, except that the flames had turned black.

  A dark and solemn black flame suddenly rose with a large piece of fog, and a ferocious horse-faced Ming Wang image took shape behind Mohe.

  With his left hand clenched into a fist and his right hand forming a seal, he gently drew back his hands as if drawing a bow to shoot an arrow. With a clear cry, the air in front of him suddenly burst open with a long white wave. A black powerful arrow accompanied by a faint humming sound shot towards Khrak's heart. The humming sound echoed through the air without bringing any sense of calmness like Buddhist scriptures, but instead brought a mysterious and eerie feeling that led one step by step towards death. Inside the black arrow, one could vaguely see the inverted swastika Buddha seals rapidly rotating, and wherever the arrow passed, the air seemed to be dyed black.

  Kuroba Kakeru's head jerked up in shock, and he let out a loud roar. A series of ripping sounds echoed through the air as his clothes tore apart, shredded into scraps. His originally sturdy body grew even more robust and massive, his muscles swelling like steamed buns, rapidly expanding until his body reached around 2.5 meters tall. Every muscle was taut and emitted an eerie bronze metallic sheen.

  Gu Xie smiled coldly and took out the Yuanshi Jian bestowed by Shi Di, which recorded the Nine You Dao Fa Shu.

  Spiritual fluctuations surged into the Yuanshenjian, where the ancient evil dust hastily flipped through the vast sea of spells and incantations inside. In almost a split second, he found what he was looking for.

  Conceal the true meaning in a small, exquisite silk pouch. According to the heavenly star's guidance, lead yourself through the breathing exercises you've practiced before. The genuine Qi from the Dan Tian and Qihai flows densely towards the Zifu recognition sea. A mysterious energy mixed with genuine Qi, spiritual fluctuations, and some special abilities emerges smoothly. Gu Xuan uses his heart and spirit to control this new, strange power, slowly sensing the existence of certain external things that can resonate with it.

  His eyes fixed on the ground under Kuroba's legs, Kōja's mind stirred, and this power known as "law" suddenly disappeared from his body, only to reappear beneath that patch of ground.

  "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Three loud sounds, three thick and thin sharp stone spears shot out of the ground with incredible speed. One hit Black God Chak's lower body, one hit his perineum, and one pierced into his anus in a very unrefined manner. The momentum of the three stone spears bursting out of the ground was extremely powerful, but Black God Chak's swollen body couldn't protect its weak lower half. A blood-curdling scream shook heaven and earth as Black God Chak instinctively hugged its lower body and jumped up with a "Hiss, hiss" sound.

  Three sharp yellowish-brown stone spears slowly retreated into the ground, with bloodstains on their tips, like the scattered red spots after a first night.

  A loud "Boom" echoed, and the black arrow shot by Mohe hit Chak's chest and abdomen, which were bent and jumping. The powerful arrow containing infinite death energy sent Chak's huge body flying nearly a hundred meters away. Black death energy continuously invaded Chak's body, and his muscles became distorted and swollen. Chak let out a hoarse and desperate scream, and the bronze-colored skin on his body burst and fell off, hitting the ground with a clear metallic crashing sound.

  This layer of bronze-colored skin was about an inch thick, and after a crisp "ding-dong" sound, the mysterious substance piled up beside Chak, his body restored to its normal dark luster.

  Looking at this layer of strange bronze skin, Gu Xie suddenly remembered that when he was still in the Gu Group, a certain confidential report from the intelligence department under his command mentioned that someone within the Federation was experimenting with transforming human bodies into carbon-silicon hybrid genes, striving to make human bodies possess the flexibility of carbon-based life forms while having the massive power and solid defense of silicon-based life forms.

  The layer of bronze-colored skin with a metallic sheen that had fallen off Kuroba's body seemed to have been secreted from his muscles, and it was clear that Kuroba was the finished product of that experiment.

  "The five major defense companies? The water here is really muddy!" Gu Xiandust remembered the source of that confidential report, which was a high-level spy planted by the Gu Group in the highest secrecy level laboratory of the Federal Academy of Sciences.

  Kuroba Kaito was now lying on the ground, clutching his lower body and wailing in agony. Every piece of metallic skin that fell off seemed to be a thousand cuts of pain for him, especially as the black death energy continued to invade his body. His dark skin gradually turned grayish white and withered. The originally robust man was now gray-haired and pale-faced, looking like he had suddenly aged twenty or thirty years.

  Mocha smiled as he walked towards Black God Chak, his fists clenched, and unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks at Chak. Each punch landed squarely on flesh, each kick solid and heavy, with every blow sinking deep into Chak's muscles, leaving behind a series of inch-deep purple bruises. After a string of dull thuds, Chak had already gone limp on the ground, unable to muster even the strength to cry out or struggle. Mocha exuded an intense killing aura as he walked up behind Chak, his hands grasping tightly around his neck, ready to deliver the final blow.

  With a slight cough, Gu Xie dust called out to stop Mo He's surging killing intent. He said in a cold voice, "Enough, we didn't come here to stir up trouble. Teaching him a lesson is enough, after all, harmony brings wealth." Mo He reluctantly let go of the emotionless Black God Kraken, and with another heavy knee strike to his head, Kraken groaned and spat out white foam before fainting.

  Lightly jumping down from the warship, Gu Xiadun picked up the electronic notebook that Chack had thrown aside and pressed a few keys. The arrangement of each dormitory in the Easter Island base was clear at a glance. His fingers pointed to a green vacant dormitory building, and Gu Xiadun beckoned to the warship, "Fellow seniors and juniors, let's go find our resting place for the next few days. Uh, would you mind cheering up?"

  A series of coughs kept coming from the warship, followed by a thick smell of alcohol wafting out. More than 700 Asian Taoist disciples of both orthodox and unorthodox sects inside the warship used their internal energy to dissipate the alcohol in their bodies. A serious-looking general adjusted his metallic gray uniform with the Hadwo Company logo on it, and led a barely tolerable formation of troops out of the warship.

  According to the map on the electronic notebook, Gu Xiechen led Hei Jingzheng into dormitory building A-17. After Gu Xiechen and others left, a medical car rushed to the helipad and sent Hei Jingzheng to the medical center of Easter Island Base, who had fallen into a deep coma.

  The arrangements were made for the group of demons and monsters that Hua had invited, Gu Xie led Hua, Sai Zi, Aridiya, Banruo, Moha and others to hurry to the command center of the base.

  The high-level leaders of the five major defense companies who came to participate in the exchange conference have arrived at the command center's conference hall.

  Inside the spacious conference hall that can accommodate thousands of people, it was empty except for a circular conference table with a diameter of over 20 meters placed in the center of the hall. The five major defense companies each had seven or eight representatives attending this meeting, and everyone sat around the conference table.

  The head of the delegation from E Corp was their executive vice president, Kimball Rayner, a gaunt old Westerner.

  Mr. Burton, the representative of the Laidlaw Company, was a middle-aged man with a sturdy build like a bear and an arrogant attitude like a vulture.

  The leader of the Winklethorpe delegation was Earl Chalkmire. The suave and urbane Earl Chalkmire had a thick head of blond hair, and wore a traditional black-and-red nobleman's robe.

  The head of the Alpine Defense Company's delegation was Colonel Hans, a gaunt Colonel Hans with a prominent scar on his cheek that seemed to have been caused by a large-caliber bullet passing through his left and right cheeks. His gray-green eyes flashed with cold-blooded ferocity, but his malice was clearly directed at Colonel Burton.

  As for the representative of Kunlun Company, it was quite unexpected. The woman who called herself Ms. Mei was about fifty years old, with a short and sturdy figure, sharp and keen eyes behind frameless glasses that narrowed into a line when she opened them, shining brightly between her eyelids. As soon as Gu Xiechen and the others entered the conference hall, Ms. Mei nodded at Gu Xiechen in a very friendly manner, her gaze full of warm kindness, and she released a friendly signal to Gu Xiechen without any reserve from the very beginning.

  Just as Gu Xiadun had entered the conference hall and hadn't sat down yet, Colonel Burton haughtily opened his mouth, "Hey, you rookies have big guts. Fighting against Jin Keli's henchmen on his own turf, how bold!"

  Sweatson immediately attacked Colonel Burton, sneering, "Oh? Does Colonel Burton mean to say that he supports Hadlow's company in this provocative behavior?"

  The Earl of Chakmber smiled lightly in that aristocratic tone, "Alright, alright. This time we're here to discuss serious matters, let's just forget about these small things!"

  Kimball snorted in disgust, waiting impatiently for Chakm to smooth things over. With an arrogant and haughty lift of his head, he said, "Those who harm members of our group must pay the price."

  Gu Xie Dun's face darkened with anger, he strode to the conference table and pressed his palms firmly on the grey alloy surface. He glared at Jin Bo Lai with a cold smile, "What do you mean?"

  Jin Bolai was about to speak, when Burton and Hans on the side let out a cry of surprise at the same time. He looked at Gu Xiechen's hands in shock, and the words that had reached his lips suddenly retreated back into his belly.

  The representatives of the five major defense companies stared at Gu Xie Chen with a cold gaze. He silently channeled the True Primordial Scripture, and his true energy surged on his palms, enveloping them in a thick layer of chilly air. A strange cracking sound echoed through the conference hall, like the sound of icebergs being torn apart by a massive force during a harsh winter. As everyone watched in shock, Gu Xie Chen's hands seemed to be pressing into soft mud, his palms sinking deeply into the surface of the conference table, and slowly, his forearms also began to sink into the table.

  Bang, bang, two loud noises, the alloy desktop with a thickness of one foot was smashed into two transparent holes in the shape of palms. Two metal pillars, each one foot long, fell heavily to the ground. What chilled everyone's hearts was that as soon as the alloy pillars hit the ground, they suddenly shattered into countless tiny metal particles like sesame seeds. It was clear that their internal structure had been destroyed by extreme cold, and the originally flexible and hard metal became no different from fragile glass.

  Satisfied, Gu Xiadeng gazed at the scattered metal particles on the ground, then patted his hands and sat down steadily in the large chair by the conference table. With a friendly nod to the people around the table, he said calmly,

  "Is everyone here? Alright, let's begin. According to the original agreement, whoever loses this exchange will have to swim around the island naked with a corn on the cob stuck between their buttocks, right? Personally, I think this punishment is not severe enough. Just swimming isn't anything, I'm looking forward to seeing you all running the Ironman triathlon on the island naked with a corn on the cob stuck between your buttocks!"

  She launched a fiery verbal attack, and except for Ms. Mei from Kunlun Corporation and a few assistants beside her who remained silent, everyone else's face changed color.

  Jin Bolai slammed his hand on the conference table, but the heavy and thick conference table didn't make a sound. He glared at the metal surface of the table with annoyance, pointing at Gu Xiechen and shouting loudly, "Mr. Gu Xiechen, are you challenging our five major defense companies?"

  Staring at Jin Bolai in surprise, Gu Xiechen pulled out a cigar and put it in his mouth. Aridyah's fingers flickered lightly, and a tiny spark flew through the air to light the cigar for him. Satisfied with blowing out clouds of smoke, Gu Xiechen sneered, "It seems you've already investigated my information thoroughly? So, which son of a bitch hired an assassin to kill me?"

  The hall was silent as a crow, even "Zhen Nu", Jin Bolai also tightly pursed his lips.

  Hire a sniper to assassinate Gu Xianchen. If Gu Xianchen dies, someone will be happy to use this as a small achievement to show off to others. However, the hired sniper, who is ranked among the top three in the world, was unexpectedly captured alive, which is a great loss of face. At least it proves that one's own intelligence system has made a huge mistake in investigating Gu Xianchen. Who would admit to such a shameful thing?

  Everyone's face was stern, and Mrs. Mei swept her eyes across the room. In the bewildered and slightly shocked gaze of Jin Bolai and others, she stood up and stretched out her hand to Gu Xuan in a very friendly manner. "Mr. Gu, such despicable means, I believe our Kunlun will not resort to. We Kunlun support Hadwo Company becoming our industry partner, if there's anything we can help Hadwo Company with, it would be our honor."

  Miss Mei extended an olive branch to Gu Xiechen in front of so many people.
