Chapter 227: Heavenly Thunder Art! Kill!

"The Mó Dà S-rank?"

"What the hell? It's really him!"

"Whoa, this aura—already Third Rank Upper, right?!"

"......"

Did the Mó Dà S-rank kill Li Wanying of the Li family?

There are always people eager to watch the spectacle, especially when Li Shanglin revealed Xu Jingming's identity.

Nearby onlookers with abilities immediately pulled out their phones to search.

When they confirmed that this brutally powerful, human-like Tyrannosaurus was indeed the Mó Dà S-rank—and only nineteen years old.

One by one, they gaped in shock.

"What a waste—such a promising talent, destined to perish here?"

Amid the astonishment, many shook their heads and sighed.

A genius is still just an undeveloped weakling.

Xu Jingming killed a direct heir of the Li family—no doubt he had invited great disaster.

Due to Mó Dà's intimidation, Li family elders might not act yet.

But the Li family couldn't stop Li Shanglin, as the slain girl's elder brother, from seeking revenge.

And with this Fourth Rank Peak Enhancement-type ability user's strength, Xu Jingming would struggle to handle him.

Across from him, Xu Jingming's aura surged violently.

Li Shanglin was startled, but then enraged by Xu Jingming's words:

"Arrogant! Just a Third Rank Upper!

I don't even need my Li family elders—alone, I can handle you!"

Whoosh!

Li Shanglin stomped his foot, gripping his spear.

His entire body became a crimson phantom, enduring the onslaught of golden Dōu Tiān Divine Lightning, crossing dozens of meters to reach Xu Jingming's side.

"Blood Wolf Slash!"

The spear in Li Shanglin's hand was wrapped in thick blood qi, as if freshly pulled from a blood pool.

Its tip was double-edged—not only for thrusting, but also for chopping like an axe!

He gripped hard, accompanied by a howl like a lone wolf.

The spear tip became a crimson streak, slashing violently toward Xu Jingming's chest!

Blood Wolf Slash was Li Shanglin's A-rank combat technique, mastered to advanced proficiency—it had once instantly killed a Fourth Rank Peak Thunder Beast with formidable defense!

This strike—he was confident—would cleave Xu Jingming clean in half from the heart!

Yet, at that moment, Xu Jingming moved!

A black-gold spear appeared in his hand, swinging down in the same chopping motion!

"You, a Lightning-type ability user, dare to clash with me? Death wish!"

Li Shanglin sneered, his handsome face twisted, adding more force to his right arm.

He wanted Xu Jingming to see what Fourth Rank Peak Enhancement-type ability user strength truly meant.

CLANG!!

When the spear tips collided, there was no crushing force as Li Shanglin expected—instead, a tremendous force surged back up the spear!

Zzzzz—

The spear trembled violently.

Li Shanglin's palms burned with pain, then he and his spear were blasted backward dozens of meters!

Though thrown far, for a tough-skinned Enhancement-type ability user, this was no real injury.

Compared to this minor wound, Xu Jingming's raw strength was what truly stunned him:

"How is this possible? Your strength exceeds mine?!"

Li Shanglin scrambled to his feet, looking bewildered and uneasy.

Unimaginable—he, a Fourth Rank Peak Enhancement-type ability user—had lost in physical power to a Lightning-type!

He knew Lightning-types could enhance their bodies with proper use, but this was absurdly overpowered!

"Normally, I might've enjoyed sparring with you. But now, I just want to end this quickly."

Xu Jingming shook his head, his brilliant dragon eyes filled with deep exhaustion.

Under normal circumstances, his strength should've matched Li Shanglin's—or even been slightly weaker.

But just now, he poured all his ability into it—the S-rank Flowing Cloud Golden Spear's weight surged to six tons!

Xu Jingming's strength, combined with the spear's sheer weight, produced that blow.

In reality,

Fighting a powerful opponent like Li Shanglin would greatly help Xu Jingming gain combat experience.

But he was too tired—he just wanted to finish fast and go rest.

"If that's how it is, then die! Heavenly Thunder Art!"

I don't provoke, but if you try to kill me, then prepare to die—that's Xu Jingming's principle.

His gaze turned profound; a low, rumbling thunder echoed faintly in the sky!

At Second Rank Upper, with S-rank Zǐ Xiāo Divine Lightning,

even in Thunder Extreme State, casting this S-rank technique required several seconds of casting time.

But now, with his rank at Third Rank Upper and his ability evolved into SS-rank Dōu Tiān Divine Lightning,

casting this S-rank technique took less than 0. seconds!

Releasing this S-rank combat technique takes less than 0. seconds!

No sooner had he spoken than a thunderbolt, as thick as a bowl's mouth, split from the sky!

The lightning was pure gold, its divine radiance brighter than the endless thunderstorms of the Thunder Zone!

This thunder is entirely golden, its sacred radiance even brighter than the endless lightning in the storm zone!

The thunder struck Li Shanglin directly—he had no time to react before being slammed to the ground.

His A-rank armor shattered instantly; his body turned charred black, a ring of scorched marks spreading outward from him.

The A-rank battle suit shattered instantly; his entire body turned charred black, a ring of blackened scorch marks spreading outward from him!

Under the torrent of divine lightning, Li Shanglin felt his mighty body being devoured by ten thousand ants—he screamed in agony.

Worse, his nerves and muscles were paralyzed by the spreading lightning—he couldn't move a muscle!

This filled him with utter horror.

He'd fought Lightning-type ability users before.

But never had one struck him with such devastating damage using just a single bolt!

Li Shanglin now felt like a lamb awaiting slaughter—with no way to resist.

'Is this what an S-rank ability awakener can do? How terrifyingly strong!'

The killing intent on Li Shanglin's face vanished, replaced by pure terror.

He knew—if he kept fighting, he would die.

"Uncle Quan!" Li Shanglin screamed.

"Young Master?! You fool!"

Li Quan, nearby, turned pale—his Fifth Rank Peak ability aura erupted skyward!

A torrent of crimson flame surged toward Xu Jingming!

A surging torrent of crimson flame erupted suddenly, rushing wildly toward Xu Jingming!

Zzzzzt! Another golden thunderbolt split from the sky!

Crack! Another golden thunderbolt split down from the sky!

Though Enhancement-type ability users had tough bodies, they couldn't withstand two strikes of SS-rank ability combined with an S-rank technique!

In Li Shanglin's despairing gaze, the thunder—piercing heaven and earth—struck him again.

Instantly, his body exploded with a loud bang!

"Young Master?!"

Li Quan, nearby, let out a hoarse, desperate scream—his head felt numb.

He'd imagined his young master killing Xu Jingming, or Xu Jingming driving him back.

But he never imagined Xu Jingming would kill his young master with just two thunderbolts!

But he never expected that Xu Jingming would kill the Young Master outright with two bolts of thunder!
