Chapter 1051: No More Words, Just Slash

Xu Yang wasted no words. Raising his hand, a powerful aura surged from his palm, instantly shattering the energy barrier in front of them.

The Glory Squad members and their respective retainers stepped through. They quickly drew the attention of powerful cultivators, those at or above the Blue-level spiritual cultivation.

More and more powerful auras appeared before Xu Yang and his group. Each of them had a hostile and arrogant look.

"Who are you? How dare you invade Skeleton King Island!"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

"What? Where did you say this is? Skeleton King Island? Do you think we're blind? Everyone knows Skeleton King Island resembles a giant skull and is composed of countless small skull-shaped mountains. How is this Skeleton King Island?"

The leader, a Blue-level peak expert dressed as a pirate, sneered, "You youngsters truly are like newborn calves unafraid of tigers. It's laughable that danger is already upon you, and you're completely oblivious!"

"Hahaha! I think you're the ones who are laughable!"

Guglas was brimming with fighting spirit. Without a word, he charged forward and unleashed a barrage of powerful punches at the proud Blue-level peak expert.

Immensely powerful aura fluctuations converged on Guglas's iron fists. Each ferocious, unparalleled punch unleashed incredible, terrifying strength.

"Woah! This fat guy has improved a lot lately! He really is a scoundrel; he only learns when he gets a beating!"

While teasing, Lister didn't forget to glance at Guglas's maid.

"I say, girl, from now on, give him another hour of 'beating' every night. He'll probably break through to the Purple-level for you in no time. This fat guy is full of potential; he just lacks intensity, hehehe!"

Guglas never dreamed that while he was bravely fighting on the front lines, that jerk Lister was actually sabotaging him from behind.

Nevertheless, the fat guy's close-combat abilities were truly astonishing. With every punch, he could perfectly integrate his internal primal energy, delivering incredibly penetrating strikes.

Boom! Another combo punch landed, and the Blue-level peak expert in front of them was directly sent flying dozens of meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

"Hahaha, how about that? We call you trash, and you won't admit it. The fat guy is the weakest member of our Glory Squad, yet he beat you like a child. What right do you have to brag in front of us now!"

Guglas's face twitched. Lister's words certainly didn't sound like praise.

However, the leader in front of them had genuinely suffered a loss at the fat guy's hands. He glanced at Xu Yang and the Glory Squad, clearly feeling intimidated. He spat, and without a word, transformed into a blue light and vanished from the spot, evidently going to fetch reinforcements.

As the leader abruptly left, the Glory Squad's retainers simultaneously moved to clear out the surrounding pirate rabble, leaving only one alive, who was thrown before Xu Yang.

"From what your leader implied just now, this is Skeleton King Island?"

Xu Yang's question did not immediately receive a response from the man.

"Our boss is asking you a question. If you don't answer truthfully, the consequences will be severe. Conversely, if you value this opportunity, you will be one of the few survivors on this island."

Plancius's words prompted the middle-aged pirate to consider more deeply. He finally chose to compromise, dropping to his knees with a thud, submitting to the authority of Xu Yang and his group.

"Esteemed sirs, this is indeed Skeleton King Island, but only the outer part. The truly dangerous area, where the Peerless Vajra, ruler of the Endless Sea, resides, is within the inner part of the island. As long as we don't provoke excessively, the Vajra ruler won't easily interfere with matters on the outer island. Our various groups came here only with his permission and paid certain resources as a price."

This information seemed highly credible.

Xu Yang nodded lightly. "Very well. Now answer my second question: What are the identities of the current occupiers of the outer island? Are they also among the top ten most powerful forces of the Endless Sea?"

The middle-aged pirate nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, that catastrophic burst of power at sea earlier was caused by you, wasn't it? I recognize your large black ship; it's powerful and eerie, one of the few top-tier creations on the Endless Sea."

Plancius scoffed. "That's not for you to worry about. Continue answering our questions."

"Yes, just as you suspected, besides the few teams you've already destroyed, all the remaining top pirate crews from the inner regions of the Endless Sea are gathered on this outer island. There are nearly five thousand people! Over three hundred experts are at Blue-level or higher, four Purple-level leaders, and countless sea beasts and summoned creatures."

The middle-aged man was quite cooperative. He didn't try any tricks with Xu Yang's group but instead revealed everything he knew in full detail.

"Very well, your mission is complete. From now on, find a place to hide and don't let your companions discover you. Once we clear out the outer island, you will gain true freedom."

Xu Yang was very satisfied with the man's performance. Before leaving, he extracted a general understanding of the outer island's structure and personnel distribution from the man's mind. Only then did he lead his team deeper into the island.

Soon, a new group of pirate teams appeared. This time, there were over three hundred individuals, clearly intending to capture Xu Yang and his invading force in one fell swoop.

The leader was a Purple-level expert, accompanied by a dozen Blue-level peak pirates, all surrounded by hundreds of thugs.

"Members of the Glory Squad? Your name is quite famous now, but I never expected you to have the guts to come to Skeleton King Island."

The Purple-level expert at the front said coldly. One of his pupils gleamed with a purple light, while the other shone with green, making him appear remarkably eerie.

Based on Xu Yang's extensive combat experience, the condition of this person's pupils was likely a physical manifestation of long-term cultivation of a top-tier mental power technique.

Seeing the opposing Purple-level expert appear, Xu Yang decided not to leave it to his subordinates. Instead, he stepped forward personally to confront the individual with the unique eyes.
