Chapter 472: Heavenly Thunder Crush! Slaying a Peak Sixth-Rank Like Slaughtering a Dog!

Rumble rumble rumble~~~

A muffled rumble of thunder sounded from the sky above Kala Street, and everyone on the street looked up in puzzlement.

Sitting in the open-air café, Du Ma, relying on the keen intuition of a peak sixth-rank ability user, had already—

sensed an overwhelming aura of danger!

"Wind Soaring Escape!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Du Ma decisively unleashed that life-preserving S-rank battle technique!

Whoosh—

Gale winds howled, and the man, along with the surrounding tables and chairs, was all blown away.

However, just as she was about to fly off, a bolt of golden thunder as thick as a water barrel came crashing down from the sky!

Crackle!

The golden thunder struck her squarely, the violent lightning engulfing her entire body!

In just an instant, Du Ma's once-fair features were blasted blackened by the thunder!

The golden thunder arcs that suddenly spread outward even directly annihilated the tables and chairs that had been blown down around her.

Boom!

Du Ma didn't even have time to let out a scream before her whole body went rigid and she toppled straight over!

"Sister Du?" The accompanying man's face changed drastically.

One must remember, Du Ma was a peak sixth-rank ability user, yet even she couldn't withstand this thunder strike.

That meant the one attacking her was absolutely a seventh-rank Grandmaster with a lightning-type ability!

Run! Must run immediately!

After figuring this out, he decisively activated his enhancement-type ability.

However, before he could even take a step, another majestic voice rang out:

"Lei Yu!"

Crackle-crackle-pop-pop—

Violent, raging golden thunder appeared out of thin air, locking him in place like a cage.

"This thunder..."

Feeling it up close, the man sensed that even a casual wisp of arc could annihilate him!

After a moment's thought, she decisively gave up struggling, shut off her enhancement-type ability, raised both hands, and shouted loudly in Burmese:

"I surrender! Don't kill me! I have absolutely no relation to Du Ma!"

At this moment, a group of five appeared in his line of sight.

This group was clearly led by a tall, strapping young man.

In this young man's hand was an elemental weapon resembling a staff.

Terrifying golden thunder fluctuations still coursed across it.

Obviously, the earlier bolt of thunder, as well as this Lei Yu, had both come from him.

What struck him as strange was that the other party looked very young—possibly not even twenty-two or twenty-three.

What shocked him even more was that, under his psychic sense, this young man seemed to be merely a mid fifth-rank ability user!

"A mid fifth-rank can instantly kill a peak sixth-rank like Du Ma—who on earth is this?"

The man's expression went blank.

If Myanmar had such a prodigy, he should have become famous long ago!

"Judging by looks, he doesn't seem Burmese, more like someone from the Great Xia side.

Great Xia... could it be...?"

The man's pupils contracted sharply. With a thud, he dropped to his knees and hurriedly shouted in Great Xia's language:

"Honored prodigies of Lei Ting Wu Guan! I have absolutely no relation to her—please, my lord, spare me!"

Anyone capable of producing such a prodigy—besides Great Xia's Lei Ting Wu Guan, he couldn't think of any other possibility!

And the fact that they had found Du Ma meant this group had already gathered plenty of evidence and taken action.

At a time like this, surrendering decisively was the best way to stay alive.

"This guy's recognized us."

Lin Hui said with a smile, "But he is slippery—seeing the situation turn bad, he immediately cuts ties."

"In a place like the Chaos Triangle, if you weren't a bit slippery, you simply wouldn't survive this long."

Retracting the Yao Lei Zhang, Xu Jingming casually swept a glance at the man, ensuring he posed no threat, then—

stepped over to Du Ma's side.

She lay on the ground, her whole body blackened, with residual golden thunder arcs still jumping across her.

The exposed skin had all cracked open, with blood seeping through.

Her breathing was extremely faint—she had clearly fallen into a state of severe injury on the brink of death.

"This..." Seeing her in such a wretched state, shock flickered in the eyes of Xia Lan and the others.

They knew Xu Jingming should be able to take Du Ma down very easily.

But they hadn't expected it to be this easy!

A single battle technique had been enough to finish her off from several hundred meters away!

"Slaying a peak sixth-rank ability user seems as simple as slaughtering chickens and dogs in the captain's eyes..."

Du Wan—petite, with a cartoon hairclip pinned in her hair—couldn't help muttering as well.

They were all first-year students of Lei Ting Wu Guan's Prodigy Training Camp.

But Xu Jingming's strength was on an entirely different level from theirs.

"First target down." Xu Jingming gave a slight nod.

If the rest of the operation kept up at this pace, the mission would likely be wrapped up smoothly in less than half a day.

"Captain, we've caught this Du Ma, but where do we hold her?"

Li Xiang asked, a touch hesitant.

Xu Jingming's brow furrowed—he truly hadn't thought about that problem.

With the Lei Ting branch hall wiped out, they had no safe stronghold; they couldn't exactly stash someone in a hotel.

But Xu Jingming quickly thought of a solution, and his brow slowly smoothed out:

"Hold on a moment, I'll make a call."

Saying that, he took out his phone and dialed Leng Yuexi.

They had no stronghold, but the Spirit Fox Guild did.

With the Spirit Fox Guild's capabilities, holding a few heavily wounded ability users was easy enough.

"Beep—beep—beep—"

After three rings, the call was answered, and Leng Yuexi's pleasant, faintly amused voice came through the other end:

"Junior, back from the Wilderness Zone?"

"Mm, came back last night."

Xu Jingming nodded, didn't bother with more small talk, and asked directly:

"Sister Xi, do you guys have a place over there that can hold ability users?"

"You've already started taking action against the Black Lion Guild's people?"

Leng Yuexi caught on at once, then continued in a tone with a hint of reproach:

"You left the Wilderness Zone last night without even telling me, and now you only remember to call when you need my help.

Aren't you being a little too cold toward your senior who's shared hardship with you for over a month?"

Crap!

The moment Leng Yuexi finished speaking, Xu Jingming immediately remembered the matter.

Leng Yuexi had been good to him; leaving the Wilderness Zone yesterday, he should have sent her a message.

That really was his oversight, so he hurriedly replied:

"Sorry, sorry, my bad.

Once this mission's done, I'll definitely pay a proper visit to Sister Xi's place."

Even without this, he still needed to make a trip over to Leng Yuexi's side.

"That's more like it."

Leng Yuexi's tone softened a little, and her crisp voice rang out again:

"Just deliver the person to the Spirit Fox Guild's side gate—I'll have Xiao Chan wait for you there.

Also, the toughest one to deal with, Miao Pu, will be attending the Guild Alliance's banquet this afternoon.

I'll be going too; if there's anything you need help with, just tell me directly."

"Understood, thanks for the trouble, Sister Xi." Xu Jingming nodded.

The moment he hung up, he saw Tang Daolin looking over with an admiring face:

"That's our captain for you—even the branch leader of the Spirit Fox Guild can be handled!"

The Black Lion Guild's influence in the Chaos Triangle Zone went without saying; many powers didn't want to offend them.

For the Spirit Fox Guild to act this way was already taking on enormous risk, let alone the fact that Leng Yuexi was willing to step up personally to help capture Miao Pu.

That ambiguous attitude made it hard not to wonder whether this beautiful, mixed-race branch leader had something going on with Xu Jingming.
