Chapter 175: Terrifying Spear Speed! Isn

"Don't, don't kill us."

"I'm guilty, but I don't deserve to die!"

"I'm innocent—I was only deceived by the Tianming Sect into joining!"

"......"

Seeing Xu Jingming's murderous intent, the remaining twenty-odd people panicked and hastily pleaded for mercy.

"Innocent? Fine, let me see how innocent you are! Lei Yu!"

Xu Jingming hadn't expected them to be so self-righteous.

He let out a cold snort, and furious golden lightning surged out, forming a prison that imprisoned them all.

"Eva, scan their identity information."

Xu Jingming's brilliant golden dragon eyes coldly fixed on the pale-faced Tianming Sect disciples inside the Lei Yu.

"Eva received."

The recording drone hovering above his head immediately responded.

Faint blue virtual light projected downward, scanning each Tianming Sect disciple in turn.

"Zhou Ping, wanted fugitive, second-rank lower-tier adept, previously brutally murdered an innocent mother and daughter in Anhua City."

"Liu Yang, wanted fugitive, second-rank mid-tier adept, previously sold highly addictive spirit fruits on a large scale in Zhe Province."

"Wang Hai, wanted fugitive......"

Eva's voice echoed above, and her usually mechanical electronic tone now carried a faint chill.

"This is your idea of innocence? Die!"

Golden lightning flashed, and the first few Tianming Sect disciples identified were instantly reduced to ash!

Eva did not stop scanning; each time she spoke a crime, Xu Jingming acted immediately.

Thus, the newly arrived Cai Ju witnessed this scene.

Xu Jingming resembled a death god reaping lives, while the recorder was the judge.

When the judge scanned a person's information, the death god would mercilessly claim that person's life.

Yet this death god did not wield a scythe—he wielded terrifying, furious lightning!

"Is this an S-rank adept ability? It can completely obliterate a person into dust..."

Cai Ju couldn't help murmuring in awe.

The terrifying technique that destroyed Shanfeng had already stunned him.

Yet he hadn't expected even ordinary use of an S-rank adept ability to be this powerful!

The members behind him also wore expressions of shock, especially Zhang Tong, who possessed a B-rank fire adept ability, and she was utterly astonished.

As another element user, she knew she could never burn someone to ash instantly with her fire ability.

Without fifth-rank power, it was impossible!

Yet they didn't know that Xu Jingming's ability was not S-rank—it was far stronger and rarer: SS-rank!

"Die!"

Ahead, Xu Jingming stood tall, his imposing figure radiating overwhelming pressure.

Sizzle!

Another flash of lightning struck, and the last Tianming Sect disciple collapsed, reduced to a charred corpse.

After Eva's scan and verification, all twenty-four Tianming Sect disciples were fugitives...

"You wretches—was there even one among you who was innocent?"

Looking at the vast expanse of charred corpses before him, Xu Jingming shook his head.

But now, no one could answer him.

"Brother Xu, have you found the chief priest and the Blood Divine Emissary here?"

Cai Ju hurried forward.

These low-rank Tianming Sect disciples were useless—mere cannon fodder.

Only the chief priest and the Blood Divine Emissary could yield useful intelligence.

"Not yet, but they should be deep within Shanfeng, in a place called 'Blood Pool.'"

Xu Jingming shook his head.

The group he just eliminated were all first- and second-rank adepts—none reached third-rank.

"Blood Pool? I heard from Leng Chang that it's where Blood Divine Emissaries are cultivated."

Sun Yan spoke up beside him.

"Oh?"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up—he became instantly interested.

A place that cultivates Blood Divine Emissaries might hold the secret technique behind their power doubling.

"No time to waste—let's move out."

Xu Jingming led the way, lightning swirling around his body, plunging deeper into Shanfeng.

Although he had ingested a Grade-3 adept-recovery pill beforehand, the Lei Shen Zhi he just released had consumed most of his energy.

His Lei Jitai could only be maintained for less than twenty minutes—he needed to find the Blood Divine Emissaries here quickly.

Then eliminate them one by one!

"Zhang Tong, Xiang Shan, Sun Yan—you accompany Xu Jingming for support."

"The rest of you, search the remaining areas. If you encounter any Tianming Sect disciples, kill on sight!"

Captain Cai Ju had planned a cautious advance, but Xu Jingming—the core combatant—had already launched his assault.

Those Public Security Bureau people wouldn't possibly fall behind.

"Yes!"

The surrounding second-tier ability users immediately scattered, conducting their search on alert.

And Cai Ju and the others followed Xu Jingming deep into Shanfeng.

The interior of the small mountain peak had been transformed by Tianming Sect into an extremely modernized base.

Inside, various instruments and equipment brimming with a technological feel could be seen everywhere, resembling some biotech companies.

In transparent instruments, the corpses of various fierce beasts were soaked in unknown liquids—common fierce beasts like Shadow Cats and Iron-Bristle Pigs.

There were also rare fierce beasts like Blazing Flame Tigers and Earth Dragons.

There were even human corpses, as well as corpses that seemed to have been forcibly stitched together from humans and fierce beasts.

"What kind of research is Tianming Sect doing..."

Xu Jingming's brow furrowed slightly.

But he wasn't a professional in this area; they'd have to wait for the Public Security Bureau to take over before enough intelligence could be uncovered.

Whoosh—

He sprinted through the corridor passage at extreme speed, the howling wind in his ears.

The corridor passages inside the base were built extremely neatly, extending in all directions, no one knew where they led.

Fortunately, though, there was Sun Yan, a third-tier upper-rank psychic-type ability user.

They casually captured a Tianming Sect follower and obtained the route to the Blood Pool.

A few minutes later,

Xu Jingming and his group arrived at the end of the base.

At the end of the base was a sealed alloy gate, the entire alloy gate blood-red.

Even larger and thicker than the two gates outside the base!

Behind the blood-colored giant gate was the Blood Pool.

And in front of this blood-colored giant gate stood over ten third-tier ability users wearing Tianming Sect Blood Moon uniforms and holding weapons.

"Zhao Wuhao! You really are a Tianming Sect person!"

Cai Ju spotted at a glance the mission target who had escaped that morning—Fierce Tiger Society's Zhao Wuhao.

"Captain Cai, originally I didn't plan to bother with you lot, but I didn't expect you to find your way here.

Since it's come to this, leave your lives behind."

Zhao Wuhao activated his Enhancement-type C-rank ability 'Ironize'!

His entire body suddenly became rigid, the surface of his skin gleaming with a metallic luster.

At the same time, the aura of a third-tier peak ability user erupted fully!

As if in a chain reaction, the remaining eleven people likewise activated their abilities and erupted their auras!

"Two third-tier peak, four third-tier upper-rank, and six third-tier mid-rank—your Blood Divine Envoy isn't here?"

Xu Jingming's brow furrowed.

He didn't sense the aura of a fourth-tier ability user among these people.

"Arrogant!"

Zhao Wuhao let out a furious roar, so loud that even the corridor passage faintly trembled:

"Do we need the Divine Envoy my lord to make a move against you lot? We're enough!"

Puchi~~~

Zhao Wuhao had barely finished speaking when Lei Guang flickered, and everyone felt their vision blur.

Immediately after,

Under the shocked gazes of the surrounding Mingjiaozhu Sect members, a black-greenish spear pierced straight through Zhao Wuhao's entire head!!

And the one gripping this spear was Xu Jingming, his entire body wreathed in Lei Ting!

"So confident—I thought you'd be so strong, but that's all?"

Xu Jingming expressionlessly pulled the Qingxiao Black Dragon Spear out of Zhao Wuhao's head.

"What incredible spear speed!"

Cai Ju and the others, still standing in place and seeing Xu Jingming use a spear for the first time, were instantly astonished.

Isn't Xu Jingming a lightning-type ability user who specializes in spell-type combat techniques? How is he so proficient with a spear too?
