Meg streaked across the sky like a startled leaf, heading straight for the small island at the edge of the Mara Archipelago.
After avoiding the area where the heavy firepower was concentrated, Mag slashed open the emergency defensive barrier on the island with his sword and landed on the island.
Although it was called a small island, it was actually not small.
The Mara Archipelago had a total of thirty-two islands, and this island was ranked fifth in size.
In an instant, the island's alarms went off.
"Who dares trespass on the island!"
A majestic voice exploded like thunder as a two-meter-tall man with a full beard jumped down from a high place with a thick black saber in his hand. His pair of bell-sized eyes stared at Meg and narrowed, "Judge?"
"That's right," Meg grinned and said in a low voice.
"Clown, you actually dared to deliver yourself to my doorstep. Watch me peel off your skin today and let everyone see your cowardice!" Barker shouted angrily as flames suddenly rose from his saber. The hard rock beneath his feet instantly shattered as his sturdy body shot out and slashed at Meg with his saber.
Half-step Transcendent, the same realm as Meg.
Since becoming a Demigod, Meg had not fought with a master of the same level. Such an opponent could only be found in the Underground City. This was a rare opportunity, so he had to make good use of it.
"This guy actually killed his way to my doorstep!"
In the villa's safe house, Fergus looked at Meg in a black suit on the screen, his voice filled with anger and fear.
The family had already given up on him, so they sent the shadow to the Investigation Bureau. His many years of work had been destroyed by this guy in front of him. He wanted nothing more than to skin him alive.
But what scared him the most was, how did this guy find this place? Did he know that he was hiding here? If this matter was exposed, who knew what kind of chaos it would cause?
"Third Young Master, rest assured. Master Barker is a half-step Transcendent. That guy is just a clown. Just kill him and throw him into the sea," the butler said calmly as he brought over a glass of wine.
Fergus calmed down a little when he heard this. That's right, what was he afraid of? The family had asked Master Barker to protect him to prevent such a thing from happening.
No matter how strong that guy was, could he still be a god?
Mag looked at Barkel, who was charging at him like a heavy truck. A terrifying pressure emanated from his body. That was a kind of aura, a powerful aura brought about by absolute power. If the person standing here was a 10th-tier being, they probably wouldn't even be able to move.
According to the intelligence analysis given by Xi, Barkel was a fire element close combat powerhouse. He was famous for his terrifying outburst and absolute strength. Among his peers, he was one of the best in close combat.
"What a coincidence. What I'm best at is also close combat." Under the mask, Meg's lips curled up slightly.
Barkel's terrifying figure appeared in front of Meg in an instant. His black heavy saber dragged a dozen meters of flame as it slashed down at Meg.
The moment the long blade fell, Meg's feet moved slightly and disappeared from the spot. At the same time, the long sword in his hand pierced out five times in one second, twisting and tearing the void apart.
Boom!
The long saber struck the ground, creating a trench that was tens of meters long and several meters wide. The rocks were melted by the flames and turned into magma. Even the entire island shook.
The blow of a half-step Transcendent Realm master was terrifying!
Unfortunately, Meg's speed was too fast. Besides two small holes in the corners of his clothes, he did not suffer any substantial damage.
On the other side, Barkel fell to the ground with five bloody holes in his chest, abdomen, and thigh.
"Half-step Transcendent." Barkel looked at Meg, his expression becoming dignified for the first time. The wounds on his body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Did your talent increase healing? Why didn't you increase it all to defence? " Meg cursed silently. A Transcendent Realm opponent really had thick skin and flesh. If it had been a level-10 master, these few sword strikes would have been enough to pierce through them and send them flying.
"This guy is also a half-step Transcendent!" Fergus was shocked, his hand trembling as he held the wine glass, spilling wine all over his trousers.
The steward was also a little surprised, but he still calmly said, "Third Young Master doesn't need to worry, I've already reported this to the family. Soon, a Transcendent Realm master will come to support us. Before that, we only need to stay here."
"I don't have time to play with you, your Young Master is still waiting for me," Meg held his sword horizontally in front of him and declared arrogantly.
"That depends on whether you can step over me," Barkel's eyes flashed with anger. No one in the same realm dared to look down on him like this.
Meg didn't waste any more words with him and with a thought, disappeared from where he stood. Suddenly, Sword Qi and murderous intent filled the air.
Barkel's expression became dignified. The shield pendant on his waist lit up and a black armour instantly appeared on his body. The long saber in his hand drew a circle on the ground and a wall of flames appeared, surrounding him as he vigilantly scanned his surroundings.
Suddenly, a light flashed across his eyes and the long saber in his hand slashed out behind him, causing space to distort and flames to erupt.
The wall of flames parted and a dark shadow stabbed out with a sword.
However, when the saber slashed out and cut the dark shadow in half, it hit nothing but air. This dark shadow was actually an afterimage!
"Damn it!"
Barkel was shocked. A sharp sword cry rang in his ears and he quickly pulled back his saber while activating all the defensive artefacts he had on him.
In a duel between peak masters, victory or defeat was often decided by a hair's breadth, and this was even more true in a pure melee.
The sharp sword light pierced through the layers of protective shields, like popping a Matryoshka doll's balloon, then pierced through the seemingly indestructible armour and into the softest part of his neck.
In the face of death, Barkel finally displayed the strength of a half-step Transcendent Realm master. His armour burst and his whole body transformed into lava, his defence rising sharply as he forcibly blocked the tip of the sword that had pierced into his body.
At the same time, Yang Kai slashed out with his saber full of determination.
With Barkel's body as the centre, the temperature within a hundred metres of him suddenly rose and flames even appeared in the air.
The Flame Domain had been activated!
"Now that's interesting." Mag let go of the longsword that was stuck in his hand, and retreated rapidly.
Within the Flame Domain, his figure became visibly slower.
What no one saw was that his hand, which was hidden under his wide sleeve, had taken out a kitchen knife and slashed at the void behind him.
The space distorted and a crack appeared in the Flame Domain.
Meg's figure flickered and he slipped out of the Flame Domain like a fish. A silver sword appeared in his hand again and he slashed out with it. Cyan Sword Qi shot out like a rainbow and collided with Barkel's saber in the air.
The cyan and red blades collided, evenly matched!
"Sword, come!"
Mag spat out two words softly.
At the same time, double pupils appeared in Meg's eyes. Barkel was stunned for a moment.
A black heavy sword pierced through the air and in a flash, crossed a distance of several hundred metres and pierced through Barkel's back and out of his chest!
