Chapter 430: Thunder Technique bombardment! Can we talk now?

~8 min read 1,505 words

Zzzzz~~

On the ground, the blood-covered burly man gasped for air, his chest rising and falling violently.

Unwilling!

He was unwilling!

More than twenty of his brothers had died, and only four remained!

Not avenging this grudge, he was unwilling!

But feeling the endless pain coming from all parts of his body, and the blood and energy that was gradually beginning to weaken.

It made him realize that this heavily injured body state simply couldn't support him in another big battle!

More importantly, the other party was flying in the sky, and he had no way to deal with him!

After a moment of silence, the burly man took a long breath and said in broken Great Xia language:

"Fine, I agree to sit down and talk!"

"Very good, a very wise choice."

Xu Jingming's sturdy face in mid-air revealed a faint smile, and then the Yaolei Staff shone brightly!

Screech!

Another thick lightning bolt bombarded the burly man, causing his already heavily injured aura to weaken by more than half!

"You!" The burly man glared at Xu Jingming.

It was just that his blood-covered body looked very miserable and pitiful from the outside...

"This way I can be more at ease."

Xu Jingming nodded with satisfaction, and then gave one Thunder Technique each to two of the remaining three Rank 6 Middle Awakened.

As for the remaining Elementalist, he didn't move.

After all, an Elementalist's physique wasn't very strong; one Thunder Technique might just kill him directly.

"Good guy, I feel like we didn't do anything at all; it was completely the Captain who solved it alone..."

As the dust settled, Lin Hui exclaimed in wonder, retracted his wind-type ability, and leaned toward that side.

Xia Lan's graceful figure also slowly emerged from the air.

"Alright, tell me, who are you, and why did you ambush us here?"

Golden lightning flashed, and these remaining four Rank 6 Awakened were all locked in the Thunder Prison.

Xu Jingming and Lin Hui's group stood outside the prison and conducted the questioning.

In order to prevent them from suddenly counterattacking, Xu Jingming didn't exit the Thunder Extreme State.

"We are the Blood Scar Mercenary Group, hired by this Lu Qi.

The mission content was to kill you all, and in the end, we could get a reward of 300 billion Myanmar coins."

The leading burly man didn't cover it up and replied in slightly raw Great Xia language.

"Mercenaries?" Xu Jingming frowned.

This was the most troublesome situation; a simple employment relationship couldn't find any clues behind it.

As for the reward of 100 billion Myanmar coins, according to the current 300:1 exchange ratio, converted to Great Xia coins, it was only about 300 million Great Xia coins.

This didn't seem like much for a mercenary group possessing Rank 6 Peak Awakened.

However, the economic development of Myanmar and the Great Xia country were different; just a single mission could earn 100 billion Myanmar coins.

For most mercenary groups, this was already not a small amount.

"It seems I have to start with this guy in the end."

Xu Jingming's pair of brilliant golden dragon pupils looked at Lu Qi, who was unconscious on the ground.

Lin Hui, standing beside him, also reacted, his heart moved, and a scorching red flame attacked Lu Qi.

Leaving a charred wound more than ten centimeters long and three or four centimeters deep on his chest!

"Ah!"

In pain, Lu Qi immediately woke up from his unconscious state.

"Li Xiang, I'll leave it to you; squeeze all the intelligence out of him!"

Professional matters should be handled by professionals; Xu Jingming was too lazy to talk nonsense and let Li Xiang take the stage directly.

"Don't worry, it's all on me."

Li Xiang, this man who was usually unsmiling and serious, finally revealed a smile at this moment.

It was just that this smile didn't appear warm, but rather like a smile upon discovering prey.

Lu Qi keenly felt that something was wrong, and before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his head!

His consciousness instantly fell into chaos, and his original expression became dull.

S-rank combat technique—Consciousness Manipulation!

This was an S-rank combat technique unique to Spirit-type Awakened; if you were careless and got hit, you would directly become the other party's puppet!

It was just that this combat technique didn't have a 100% success rate in release, and there was a certain risk of failure.

Li Xiang was Rank 6 Lower, and Lu Qi was only Rank 5 Middle.

Under the crushing spiritual power, this S-rank combat technique was naturally released very smoothly.

"First question, why did you rebel? Who is the object of your rebellion?"

Li Xiang's icy voice rang out, his eyes staring tightly at Lu Qi.

"Six days ago, the martial arts hall branch was attacked and destroyed; I took all the survivors and hid here.

The next day, I went out to scout the situation, but I didn't expect to run into the people who attacked us the day before.

There was no other way; in order to save my life, I could only become a traitor and bring them here."

Lu Qi replied with a dull expression, "As for who they are, I don't seem to remember..."

"Don't remember?" Xu Jingming frowned.

This happened only a few days ago; how could Lu Qi, a Rank 5 Awakened, not remember?

Could it be that his memory had been tampered with?

At this time, Li Xiang also gave the same speculation: "Captain, compared to ordinary Rank 5 Middle Awakened, his spiritual power appears somewhat chaotic.

It seems he was forcibly invaded recently, and the memory related to it might have been erased at that time."

He had seen similar situations several times when he was in the Public Security Bureau.

This meant that among the team that attacked the martial arts hall branch, there was at least one high-level Spirit-type Awakened!

"Can the modified memory be restored?" Xu Jingming asked.

"Hard to say; I can only try my best." Li Xiang didn't speak too fully.

A person's memory was just like a hard drive; destroyed data was very difficult to restore.

He could only use the existing memory to see if he could reconnect this part of the memory.

"Alright, then try it; by the way, first ask where the survivors of the martial arts hall are."

After the martial arts hall branch was attacked, no one else contacted headquarters except Lu Qi.

Xu Jingming had felt a bit strange before; now it seemed that it should be Lu Qi who cut off their contact information.

"You said there were 17 survivors from the martial arts hall; then where are the other 16 people besides you? Where are they?"

Li Xiang asked in a deep voice.

"The survivors, after I brought that group of people here the next day, were all killed.

That group of people destroyed all corpses and evidence and gave me a sum of money, telling me to go hire the Blood Scar Mercenary Group and set a trap.

Wait for headquarters to send people over, and then wipe them all out..."

Lu Qi replied dully.

But these words made Xu Jingming's face change drastically.

They all died?!

In other words, in this surprise attack incident, there were more than 130 people in the martial arts hall branch.

Except for Lu Qi, not a single living person was left?

Xia Lan and Du Wan, standing on the side, heard this, and their pretty faces also turned cold.

Traitors were not worthy of sympathy anywhere, especially traitors who used the lives of their companions to exchange for their own survival!

It actually didn't even have the slightest effect of weakening the lightning!

If he were to take three or four more hits of lightning like this, he would probably end up dying with regret!

"But this combat technique should be your trump card, right? You simply cannot release it again in a short period of time!"

The burly man snorted coldly and was about to prepare once more to break through the blockade of the lightning prison.

However, just at this moment, with a crackle, another thick golden lightning bolt struck down!

Caught off guard, it directly scorched his entire body black!

His already cracked skin instantly burst open, revealing the fresh red flesh inside!

"How is this possible? How can your casting speed be so fast?!" The burly man was completely shocked.

Based on his combat experience, an S-rank combat technique with such formidable power should have a release interval of at least ten seconds!

"For this kind of Heavenly Thunder Art, I can release as many as I want."

Xu Jingming, suspended in mid-air, did not answer his question, only saying it indifferently.

At the same time, those brilliant golden dragon pupils looked at him coldly:

"I think we should be able to talk now, right?"
