However, upon learning of a girl's kidnapping, a superhuman from China disregarded his superiors' advice and trekked through the mountains back to Shen City.
He was "Star."
Star's arrival in Shen City stirred up a huge storm. First, Charles was found alone and killed—Charles's rampant base was practically an open secret in the government's hands; finding him wasn't difficult.
Next came the city's guardian Cui Yuanxuan, the Sakura Queen Yoshihara Tsubaki, and the sorcerer Yuan Tiancheng, all of whom were subsequently defeated and killed.
Finally, four members of the Seven Deadly Sins remained. After discussing their options, they decided to eliminate "Star," luring him to a deserted suburb—a move consistent with the combat rules of superhumans.
However, the Seven Deadly Sins' intention was to unleash their full power without restraint, annihilating this unexpected troublemaker. But the result was astonishing. Envy, who claimed to be able to hide in space and be unkillable, was instantly thrown out by Star's spatial shock and died on the spot.
Wrath, capable of regenerating from even a tiny piece of flesh the size of a thumbnail—virtually immortal—was completely melted and vaporized by the terrifying Yang True Qi. Not only did pieces of flesh the size of a toenail disappear, but even a single hair vanished in the thousands of degrees of heat!
Seeing the situation was dire, Simon immediately transformed into a bat and embarked on a great escape. Fortunately, Shen City was close to the sea, allowing him to escape into the water. However, Star launched a devastating bombardment on the area where he was hiding.
It was a scene resembling a nuclear landmine explosion, bright and intense, with tens of thousands of tons of seawater suddenly expanding and transforming into a devastating shockwave that swept everything away!
Fortunately, Xing deviated slightly from the path, and his vitality was incredibly tenacious, allowing him to escape with near-fatal injuries.
Then, at dawn, he swam naked for over ten kilometers across the vast ocean, covered in blood, before finally finding a fishing boat.
He looked like a drowned dog with its skin burned off, ugly and wretched, utterly devoid of any elegance…
Of the five, three died, one escaped, and only Greed, who had remained hidden behind the scenes from beginning to end, was unscathed…
After this shocking battle, "Xing" suddenly went from an unknown Chinese superhuman to being crowned with the title of Martial God!
That's why Simon found Charles's current words about Xu Pengxuan somewhat laughable. "If you really are a star, then why are you still sitting in front of me?"
"Isn't it just that enemies meeting are bound to be furious?"
Simon's words carried a hint of mockery and dissatisfaction. They had just intimidated the Chinese government and were planning to return to the United States when Charles unexpectedly decided to kidnap a dozen or so girls.
This had attracted a "god."
Xu Pengxuan's face turned slightly pale. How could he not regret it? His momentary greed had brought him to his death. His only stroke of luck was that the Seven Deadly Sins' extraordinary origins stemmed from mythology. As long as the legends continued, even the dead could be reborn.
This was called "trait transfer" in the West and reincarnation in the East—a unique ability possessed by this type of extraordinary individual.
However, under normal circumstances, only extraordinary traits were transferred. Only in very rare cases was there a chance of retaining the previous consciousness…
Charles was lucky, which was why he had transformed into Xu Pengxuan.
It wasn't lust that resided within Xu Pengxuan…
"What's the use of saying all this now?" Xu Pengxuan's face showed a slight annoyance. "The most important thing now is to deal with Xing."
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm certain, I'm certain, although his physique and appearance are different, it's definitely Xing. That sun-like true energy is absolutely genuine!"
Simon didn't intend to bring up the past, but still raised a question: "But why is Xing so weak?"
He had also watched the video from that day. The person suspected to be Xing was at most equivalent to a Transformation Realm martial artist of the old school, and his true energy was only at the dangerous level.
If Cui Yuanxuan hadn't intervened, he might not have even escaped the tracking missile.
A vicious expression appeared on Xu Pengxuan's face. "Then let me ask you, has your injury from four years ago fully recovered?"
Simon's face darkened. Xu Pengxuan continued, "My situation is even worse than yours. After the trait transfer, I now have to use a medium to control others."
"But wasn't Xing's injury in the bay not much less severe than mine?"
Simon's eyes flickered. He had been involved in the scheme to some extent and knew better than Charles how serious Xing's injuries were; he had even thought Xing was dead at one point.
While he felt a sense of relief, he couldn't help but sigh. Without becoming a true Forbidden-level being, even a powerful Martial God couldn't escape being ambushed and forced to retreat.
And regardless of whether this person was Xing or not, anyone related to Xing, or possibly potentially Xing, had to be eliminated at all costs while they were still weak.
After all, he absolutely didn't want to experience another "nuclear mine" bombing.
The two immediately began discussing countermeasures, but neither Simon nor Charles intended to intervene directly for the time being. Facing Xing, a Martial God, no amount of caution was excessive.
His divine power remained, so an open approach was preferable.
Therefore, they decided to first send some people to probe the enemy. This included Xu Pengxuan's vast underground kingdom, built over the years using the inductive mediums Ares and Muse. This kingdom had not only extended its reach into the Shen City police system but had even secretly acquired a significant amount of the most advanced special operations equipment from the US military.
These were excellent probing pawns!
If the probes revealed that Xing still possessed some strength, even just two or three tenths of it, then the next day… they would unhesitatingly abandon everything and board the plane.
But if it truly was only at the level they had witnessed that day, then… a net woven from the heavens to the earth would be cast over Xing!
After their general discussion, both men relaxed. Simon swirled his wine glass and suddenly brought up the girls connected to Xing.
"I heard that you've brought back all those dozen or so girls you initially attracted to Xing?"
Xu Pengxuan grinned lewdly. Driven by lust, how could he possibly let those beautiful girls go?
"Of course, it's just a bit of a pity. The prettiest one is already a virgin..." Xu Pengxuan showed a hint of regret. He had handpicked over a dozen beauties from millions of girls in Shanghai, each one exceptionally beautiful.
They all possessed physiques that greatly enhanced their extraordinary abilities—in Eastern terms, their yin essence was exceptionally abundant and nourishing.
And among them, the best was Luo Yutang, the second young lady of the Luo family. Xu Pengxuan even felt she surpassed the other girls by more than one level; he would cherish her even in death!
But the most regrettable thing was that when he returned, Luo Yutang, only fifteen years old, had lost her virginity to someone unknown, a regret he still felt to this day.
And now, Luo Yutang had also been rescued by the person suspected to be Xing, but…
A playful smile appeared on Xu Pengxuan's face. She would come back on her own sooner or later, and then he would make her grovel before him like a shameless bitch.
But for now, he would enjoy those girls… With that thought, Xu Pengxuan got up and walked to the large sofa, gently pressing the small bell on the armrest.
A moment later, light footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by a group of beautiful girls in various uniforms filing in. Each one was pretty and beautiful, with graceful figures and charming cuteness; their clothes ranged from bunny girl outfits and bikinis to cheongsams and Hanfu with oriental charm, and their legs were even more dazzling, with black stockings, white stockings, fishnet stockings, and even bare, white legs. The most striking figure was the young woman at the head of the group. She wore a policewoman's uniform, her waist slender as a wasp, her hips pert like a pear, and her breasts full, round, and firm. Her figure was both slender and shapely.
Between her youthful innocence and charm lay a captivating allure, making her exceptionally alluring and seductive.
She was… Shen Weiwei.
