Li Xuan suddenly felt six powerful auras approaching from a distance, each one distinct, yet one among them stood out far above the others with an overwhelming presence that clearly surpassed the rest.
He immediately judged that the strongest among them was most likely a Level 2 sequencer, while the remaining five were all Level 1, but even so, his expression remained calm without the slightest hint of worry.
When he had come here, he had already prepared for unexpected situations, and the presence of Aril inside his bag was his greatest assurance against any unforeseen danger.
The blue bag on his back looked ordinary from the outside, but inside, it had been carefully arranged into a small, comfortable space where Aril rested peacefully on soft cotton bedding.
She was curled up lazily, holding a packet of chips while surrounded by candies and snacks, completely unaware of the chaos about to unfold outside her little world.
As Li Xuan stood silently, the six figures soon entered the building, their presence immediately drawing the attention of everyone inside as tension filled the air.
They were members of the Tiger Gang, led by their infamous leader Mo Tianyu, a man known for his strength and ruthless methods within the nearby regions.
Li Xuan had seen some of them before in the market, especially the Shadow Hunter sequencer whose stealth abilities had once caught his interest, along with others from paths like Pathfinder, Warrior, and Knight.
However, due to the limitation of his plunder slots, he had always chosen only the most useful abilities, discarding the rest without hesitation.
Among the newcomers, there was another unfamiliar figure named Wei Long, whose presence carried a wild aura, and upon observation, Li Xuan recognized him as someone from the Beast Transformation path, specifically the Golden Lion sequence.
Li Xuan showed little interest in him, but when his gaze shifted to Mo Tianyu, his expression changed slightly as information about the man surfaced in his mind.
The details revealed a Level 2 Psychic Sequencer with abilities such as telekinesis, telepathy, and mental link, along with impressive physical and spiritual attributes that far exceeded ordinary people.
Name: Mo Tianyu
Species: Human
Lifespan: 128 years (Earth life)
Ability: Psychic Sequence Level 2 – Telekinesis (Telepathy, Mental Link)
Physique: 58
Spirit: 67
For the first time, Li Xuan felt a spark of excitement, not fear, as he realized the immense potential this ability held if he could obtain it.
"With telekinesis combined with my spatial ability, my combat strength would rise to another level," he thought calmly, though deep inside, he was already planning how to take it.
At the same time, he also understood that different sequence paths granted different types and numbers of abilities, and there was no fixed pattern governing them.
Mo Tianyu, on the other hand, had already been informed of the situation through spies he had placed around the village, and he had arrived not just to resolve the issue, but with hidden intentions.
He wanted to play the role of a savior, absorb Xu Ming's group into his Tiger Gang, and most importantly, take control of the two women he had been eyeing for some time.
When he saw Li Xuan, he quickly assessed him and felt relieved, as from his perception, Li Xuan only appeared to be a slightly stronger Level 1 sequencer.
Clearing his throat, Mo Tianyu stepped forward confidently and said, "Captain Xu Ming, it seems you are in trouble. Do you need my help?"
He glanced at Li Xuan with disdain before continuing, "This kid is only Level 1, dealing with him is no harder than crushing an ant for me."
"As long as you agree to join my Tiger Gang, I will ensure your protection," he added, his gaze drifting toward Shen Miao and Rou Xi in a way that made his intentions obvious.
Shen Miao and Rou Xi immediately felt a chill run through their bodies, their faces turning pale as they understood what would happen if they fell into his hands.
Xu Ming noticed their expressions and clenched his fists tightly, feeling helpless, especially when he thought about his own daughter and what fate awaited her if Mo Tianyu set his sights on her.
After a moment of silence, Xu Ming spoke firmly, "This is an internal matter of our convoy, there is no need for your help."
Mo Tianyu's smile faded instantly, his expression turning cold as he realized he had been rejected in front of others, which bruised his pride deeply.
He turned toward Li Xuan and pointed at him arrogantly, saying, "Get lost while you still can, or don't blame me for killing you."
Li Xuan let out a faint chuckle, his eyes showing no emotion as he replied, "I don't like being threatened, and I don't like the way you look at me."
"Today, you and your entire Tiger Gang will disappear," he said calmly, as if stating an inevitable fact rather than making a threat.
Everyone present was stunned, unable to believe that someone would openly challenge a Level 2 sequencer so casually.
Mo Tianyu burst into laughter and said mockingly, "Kid, you don't understand the gap between Level 1 and Level 2."
"But since you're so confident, tell me, how do you want to die?" he continued with a cruel smile, clearly enjoying the moment.
Li Xuan did not respond, instead quietly shaking his bag as if calling someone, which confused everyone present.
When nothing happened, the Tiger Gang members laughed, thinking he had lost his mind out of fear.
Realizing Aril was still asleep, Li Xuan sighed and shouted loudly, "Aril, someone is stealing your delicious food!"
The next moment, a small figure burst out of the bag, hovering in the air with an angry expression as she looked around suspiciously.
Li Xuan pointed at Mo Tianyu and his group, saying, "They want to kill us and take all your food."
Aril's expression instantly darkened as she glared at them with visible anger, her tiny form radiating an intense pressure.
The Tiger Gang members were momentarily stunned, but one of them laughed and said, "This little thing? I can crush it with one hand."
Hearing this, Li Xuan added fuel to the fire, "See, they want to kill you too."
Without hesitation, Aril prepared to attack, while Li Xuan used Space Leap to appear behind the Shadow Hunter in an instant.
Before anyone could react, his blade pierced through the man's throat, killing him instantly as his body collapsed to the ground.
"Now," Li Xuan said calmly, "we'll have plenty of food tonight."
Aril immediately moved, attacking Mo Tianyu with incredible speed, forcing him to use telekinesis to form a barrier around himself.
However, her punch shattered through the barrier and sent him flying backward, crashing into the wall with immense force.
At the same time, she fired a golden beam that struck Wei Long mid-transformation, killing him instantly before he could complete his ability.
Meanwhile, Li Xuan engaged the remaining two, using Space Leap repeatedly to overwhelm them before swiftly beheading both with his axe.
The last survivor, the Pathfinder, fell to his knees, begging desperately for mercy, but Li Xuan showed no hesitation as he ended his life with a single strike.
After storing all the bodies, Li Xuan glanced at Xu Ming and said coldly, "You have one hour to decide."
He then moved toward the battlefield where Aril and Mo Tianyu were still fighting fiercely, the latter barely holding on with the help of a defensive artifact. While looking at the fight, he immediately absorbed both Pathfinder and Shadow Hunter sequences. Both were useful, and although he had Xu Ming, if they were separated or he ran away, it would become difficult to travel in this wasteland world, so he decisively chose to plunder.
While the fighting was going on, many people were attracted by the noise. Seeing a small figure flying and attacking a sequencer, they thought a ghost or strange creature had invaded the village. Some watched in shock, some ran away, and some chose to hide.
Here, Xu Ming and the others were shocked to see the power displayed by Li Xuan and the little girl, instantly killing five sequencers as if it were nothing. They all had grim expressions on their faces. Others looked at Zhang Xuan and Zhao Xun as if asking whether it was necessary to provoke such a killing demon. Both felt ashamed and guilty. Later, they discussed and chose to join, as at least this way they could survive.
On the other hand, the fight was about to end as Mo Tianyu had no energy left and had used all his means but was unable to do anything. He regretted deeply provoking Li Xuan and wished he had stayed silent.
Mo Tianyu was already filled with regret, realizing too late that he had underestimated someone far beyond his understanding.
When Li Xuan arrived, Mo Tianyu immediately knelt down and begged, "Spare me, I will serve you!"
Aril paused, looking at Li Xuan for guidance, but his response was cold and decisive.
"Enemies should never be spared," he said calmly.
The next moment, Aril unleashed a final attack, ending Mo Tianyu's life instantly as silence fell over the battlefield.
Li Xuan absorbed his ability without hesitation and stored the body, his expression remaining unchanged as if nothing significant had happened.
That evening, he moved through the Tiger Gang's base and eliminated all remaining core members. Some had hidden away, and those who were caught were wiped out, leaving only two men who had not yet awakened. He wanted to see whether they would awaken any useful abilities, so he only warned them to join the Peace Convoy or face death. They both agreed. Nearly seventy-nine people in total were killed, leaving no trace of the organization behind.
Inside one of the rooms, he found three half-dressed girls trembling in fear, clearly victims of the gang's cruelty. He also found many other men, women, and children imprisoned and bound with ropes and cloth. He freed them and, after informing them that the Tiger Gang had been destroyed, went to collect all the supplies in the base.
Without saying much, he left them food and a vehicle, informing them that the Tiger Gang had been completely destroyed.
"If you want to live, go to the Peace Convoy," he said before turning away.
Using a loudspeaker, he announced to the entire area, "The Tiger Gang is finished. Anyone who wants safety can come to the Peace Convoy."
As the sun began to set, Li Xuan stood quietly, knowing that from this moment onward, a new order would rise under his control.
