Chapter 429: Chain Bombardment! All Fifth-Rank Fall!

Before the archaic courtyard, more than twenty ability-users who had awakened their abilities brazenly unleashed their auras.

The entire air was thick with a powerful, oppressive pressure.

"Your perception isn't bad, but Lei Ting Wu Guan is, after all, one of the major powers of your Great Xia Nation.

To think they'd only send a bunch of small fry like you — that's something I didn't expect."

Clumsy Great Xia Mandarin suddenly rang out, as the leader, gripping a long blade, activated his ability.

On the face of that burly man, who stood over two meters tall and bore the distinctive local features of a Myanmar native, a sinister smile surfaced:

"But this works out fine too — kill you lot, and we can collect the mission reward nice and easy."

Having said that, the burly man barked a 'charge' order in the local Myanmar tongue.

"Hahaha! Great Xia ability-users! Kill, kill, kill!"

"Prepare to die!"

"Get on your knees and beg for mercy, maybe we'll let you off!"

Accompanied by the strange cries in clumsy Mandarin, more than twenty ability-users, aside from the burly man, swarmed forward in a charge!

On the other side, though worried, Lin Hui still took out his elemental weapon.

Blazing flames swirled around his body, as if brewing some terrifying fire-type battle technique.

Xia Lan, Li Xiang, and Du Wan likewise entered combat readiness.

But before they could even make a move, Xu Jingming's deep voice rang out:

"I'll go alone. You lot don't need to act."

With Lin Hui and the others' strength, taking on this group of fifth- and sixth-rank ability-users was still a bit too much of a stretch.

Since that was the case, they might as well not act at all.

"You, alone?"

Xia Lan and the rest were instantly stunned, not yet able to react.

When suddenly — bang! — the earthen ground exploded, golden lightning flashed, and Xu Jingming shot forward like a cannonball!

"Thunder Extreme Form!"

"Lei Shen Jiang Shi!"

Crack-crackle-crackle—

Violent golden thunderbolts suddenly burst outward!

Xu Jingming, mid-air, directly entered his enhanced state, activating the amplification of the SSS-rank ultimate battle technique 'Lei Shen Jiang Shi'!

Boom!

When he crossed several dozen meters and his battle boots slammed thunderously onto the ground.

He already had a phantom image of Lei Shen above his head, his height reaching a full two meters and twenty centimeters!

His muscles swelled all over, and pale-gold scale armor covered the vulnerable joints of his body.

A pair of brilliant golden dragon pupils, utterly devoid of any emotion, stared at the ability-users not far off as if they were already corpses.

"This is..."

"Such a powerful aura? This guy's really only fifth-rank!"

Seeing Xu Jingming's aura instantly surge several times over.

The ability-users, who had been shrieking and charging moments ago, all came to a hesitant halt.

In fact,

Not only the Myanmar ability-users, but even Lin Hui and the others felt an immense oppressive pressure!

"So this is the full power Xu Jingming showed at the assessment trial?"

Xia Lan pressed her right hand over her chest, which had already developed quite noticeably.

Her beautiful eyes stared in shock at that towering figure ahead, wreathed in golden lightning.

She was only upper fourth-rank — among the group, aside from Du Wan, the lowest in strength!

Under the fierce aura Xu Jingming unconsciously radiated, she could only feel her heart pounding.

The hair on her body stood on end, and even breathing became somewhat difficult!

This was the natural negative emotion a lower creature felt when facing a higher one.

Much like a herbivorous rabbit running into a Shi Qian tyrannosaurus!

And she was that rabbit, while Xu Jingming was that Shi Qian tyrannosaurus!

"Watching the assessment matches, I didn't really feel it, but seeing it now, Xu Jingming's oppressive pressure is just too strong!"

Lin Hui couldn't help but exclaim softly.

During the assessment trial, although they sat in the inner audience seats closest to the arena.

It was, after all, an 800-meter by 800-meter arena — too far away.

Although they could sense that oppressive pressure too, it had never hit them as viscerally as it did now.

"Just this aura alone is probably enough to pin some low-rank ability-users in place."

Du Wan, with a cartoon strawberry hairpin clipped in her hair, also said timidly.

As for that large group of ability-users now, although they weren't yet pinned in place, they were still facing an enormous oppressive pressure!

"I'll give you one last chance — what's your relationship with Luqi? Why are you ambushing us here?"

The Yao Lei Zhang was already gripped in Xu Jingming's hand.

Inside the transparent crystal core at its tip, violent golden thunderbolts flickered wildly, as if ready to pour forth at any moment.

"Didn't expect you little Great Xia punk to actually have a few tricks."

The burly man, who hadn't originally intended to act, walked up from the rear with his battle blade, somewhat surprised:

"But we don't have the habit of betraying client information, so prepare to die!"

With that, his entire face twisted into a monstrous snarl as he stomped forward!

Charge! Then strike!

In the blink of an eye, the burly man crossed dozens of meters.

He surged to Xu Jingming's front and slashed down with a sharp battle blade wrapped in blood qi!

He was fast—but Xu Jingming was faster!

There came a sharp hiss—a golden lightning flashed, and Xu Jingming's Thunder Dragon Wings unfurled, shooting straight up into the air dozens of meters!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

At that moment, the psychics' ranged elemental attacks arrived!

Fireballs mixed with wind blades hammered down continuously upon Xu Jingming!

"Thunder Barrier!"

Hum—

Golden lightning converged, forming an eggshell-like shield that enclosed and protected Xu Jingming!

The terrifying elemental attacks slammed against it—but not even a tremor shook the Thunder Barrier!

"Obstinate fools! It seems you won't answer my questions."

"Then die all of you! Thunder Ball! Lightning Chain!"

Crackling—!

A massive golden thunderball, over three meters in diameter, suddenly coalesced in the sky like a miniature sun, hurtling toward them!

But that wasn't all—under the enhancement of the SSS-rank technique, Lei Shen Jiang Shi.

A lightning chain, as thick as a water barrel, followed instantly!

"He's an Elementalist! And he can fly!"

"Where's our Elementalist? Quick! Raise your shields!"

In Great Xia, Elementalists were rare, but large organizations like Thunder Gym still had several.

But in resource-poor Myanmar, the threshold of 6000 mental power—

Combined with the scarcity of Spirit Refinement technique scrolls—made Elementalists exceedingly rare!

Thus, upon realizing Xu Jingming was an Elementalist, all of them simultaneously showed expressions of terror.

They urgently urged the lone sixth-rank Elementalist in their group to raise his shield!

Hum—

A wind-elemental barrier instantly enveloped and protected them all!

But before they could rejoice, the massive thunderball crashed down!

Crackling—!

In an instant, the thunderball shattered the entire elemental barrier!

Then it exploded violently!

Like a broadsword landmine, golden thunder plasma and furious lightning sprayed outward in all directions!

It instantly reduced the central psychics to charred corpses!

Those psychics slightly farther away suffered grave injuries—but did not die outright.

But then, the Lightning Chain arrived!

Zzzt! Zzzt!...

Thick golden lightning bolts surged forward, leaping between the surviving psychics!

Like the scythe of Death, it mercilessly reaped their lives!

Thus, with one Thunder Ball and one Lightning Chain, apart from the four sixth-rank psychics—

All remaining fifth-rank psychics perished without exception!
