Chapter 430: Heavenly Thunder Art Bombardment! Now Can We Talk?

Crackle, crackle~~

The residual golden lightning flickered and leapt across the twenty-odd corpses.

There was barely a trace of blood at the scene; every corpse had been electrocuted until it looked like charcoal.

Even the air carried a faint, lingering scent of roasted meat.

And at this moment, the face of the burly man at the head was filled with disbelief.

Of his own men, only three remained?

The rest had all been blasted to death just like that?!

And it had taken only two combat techniques?

"Ahhh!! I don't care who you are! I'll make you pay in blood!"

Able to unleash such overwhelming power at only a lower-tier fifth-rank level, the burly man knew Xu Jingming had to be a top-tier prodigy of the Great Xia.

Killing him might bring down a heap of trouble!

But under the scouring of fury at losing his comrades, he could no longer care about any of that!

He was seen with his eyes nearly splitting apart, his crimson blood-qi erupting violently; the pebbles on the ground were blasted flying beneath its scouring!

Berserk!

The classic combat technique that almost every enhancement-type ability user had to learn had already been activated by him!

Boom!

He stomped down hard, the ground blasted into a great crater, and he himself used the recoil to leap dozens of meters into the air!

His razor-sharp war-blade hacked toward Xu Jingming like a bolt of lightning!

Whoosh—

Yet Xu Jingming merely gave his twin wings a light flap.

His whole body flew off to the other side, dodging the strike with perfect ease.

Flight ability is truly a dimensional reduction strike against ordinary ability users.

On Xu Jingming's resolute face, there lingered a faint trace of a smile.

Although he had cultivated the Indestructible Lightning Body to the sixth layer, it was only S-rank.

Right now, his physical strength was actually about equal to that of a lower-tier sixth-rank enhancement-type ability user with an A-rank ability.

Fifth-rank lower-tier on paper, yet his physical strength was on par with a sixth-rank ability user — that looked pretty good.

But compared to the methods of a peak sixth-rank, or even an ordinary seventh-rank Grandmaster elementalist, it was actually a drag.

Therefore, he naturally wouldn't be so arrogant as to meet a peak sixth-rank enhancement-type ability user head-on with his spear.

Using flight ability to crush them with elementalist methods was the true way.

"Damn it!" The burly man, his strike having missed, was already dark-faced as still water.

Because he knew that, with his own methods alone, he simply had no way at all to deal with Xu Jingming, who possessed flight ability!

Suddenly, his gaze shifted and he noticed Lin Hui and the others on the other side.

A cruel, bloodthirsty expression immediately surfaced: "Not coming down, are you? Then I'll send your companions on ahead first!

Zagu, Aima, Gurina! Kill them all for me!"

At the order, the remaining three sixth-rank mid-tier ability users, who had only suffered light injuries, advanced on Lin Hui and the others with savage grins, surrounding them to kill!

To prevent Xu Jingming's lightning ability from wiping them out in one sweep, they launched their attack from three different directions!

"Damn! Run!"

Lin Hui's face changed drastically; he was about to lead the others in flight.

The space around Xia Lan also faintly turned illusory.

Compared with Hearing Ling Shuang, her space-type ability was still far behind.

But teleporting people over a range of a thousand meters was still something she could do with ease.

The moment anything felt off, she would activate her ability instantly!

Hmm~~

Yet at this moment, everyone — Xia Lan included — was enveloped in a golden lightning shield!

"It's the captain's Lightning Barrier!"

Lin Hui's face lit up; the might of the Lightning Barrier, they knew well.

Even Cao Ren, a sixth-rank mid-tier with a pseudo-S-rank ability, couldn't break it — let alone these ordinary sixth-rank mid-tiers!

Who would have thought that a Lightning Barrier at perfect mastery could actually be cast on teammates too!

The captain was just too awesome!

"Then next, it's our turn to counterattack!"

Thus, with the Lightning Barrier protecting them, Lin Hui not only didn't flee but, laughing heartily, led the others to take the offensive!

At this moment, offense and defense had switched!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!......

Countless pale-blue wind blades shot out in a rush!

"Spirit Summon!"

Around Du Wan, many illusory figures appeared — among them ability users, and fierce beasts as well!

The auras radiating from these spirits were, without exception, all peak fourth-rank!

"Space Stealth!"

Space twisted, and Xia Lan — dagger in hand, her slender figure wrapped in the Lightning Barrier — vanished on the spot!

And finally, Li Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and terrifying psychic power shot toward the three sixth-rank mid-tier ability users like spikes!

Let them all clutch their heads in agony at the same time!

"Damn Thunder Barrier! Damn Dayans!"

Seeing Xu Jingming reverse the battle with a single Thunder Barrier, the burly man could no longer hold back.

Gripping his battleblade, he was about to throw himself into their midst!

But just then, Xu Jingming's godlike voice rang out from high above:

"They may go, but you alone may not—Lei Yu!"

Boom!!

Five Thunder Prisons bloomed on the ground like lotus flowers!

Though the burly man had done his utmost to dodge, he was still locked in place by the third Lei Yu!

"Hmph! Your thunder may be strong, but it's still not enough to defeat me!"

He gave a cold snort. The burly man, whose skin had already been blasted somewhat black by the thunder, prepared to force his way out through the lightning!

Rumble rumble rumble!!

At that moment, rolling thunder suddenly erupted from the sky.

"Heavenly Thunder Art!"

Crackle!!

Golden light flickered, the sky suddenly blazed bright, and a thick bolt of golden thunder crashed down.

It struck the burly man dead-on!

Apart from himself, every plant and patch of soil within a five-meter radius was utterly obliterated.

The ground was actually sheared down by roughly four or five centimeters!

And the burly man himself was not faring well either—terrifying thunder rampaged wildly through his body!

Wantonly tearing apart his muscles and meridians.

Splurt!!

His skin cracked open, bright red blood seeped out, and in an instant he became a man drenched in blood!

"It's merely a combat technique—how can its power be this terrifying?!"

The burly man's blood-streaked face was filled with disbelief.

The intensity of this thunder completely exceeded his imagination.

The formidable physique he had always taken such pride in offered not the slightest defense against this thunder!

He even began to suspect the Grade-A combat suit he was wearing was a counterfeit.

It hadn't weakened the lightning in the slightest!

Thunder of this caliber—if he took three or four more hits, even he would perish in regret!

"But this combat technique must be your trump card, right? There's no way you can unleash it again in such a short time!"

The burly man gave a cold snort and prepared once more to break through the Lei Yu's lockdown.

But just then, with a crackling sound, another thick bolt of golden thunder came crashing down!

Caught completely off guard, he was charred black all over by the electricity!

His already cracked skin split open at once, revealing the fresh red flesh beneath!

"Impossible! How can your casting speed be this fast?!" The burly man was utterly shocked.

Based on his combat experience, a Grade-S combat technique this powerful should have a cooldown of at least ten seconds or more!

"This Heavenly Thunder Art—I can cast it as many times as I wish."

Xu Jingming, hovering in midair, did not answer his question, merely remarking indifferently.

At the same time, those resplendent golden dragon eyes looked at him with cold indifference:

"I think we should be able to talk now, don't you?"
