Chapter 515

"You think a Rank 8 Protective Talisman can stop me?"

Xu Jingming snorted coldly and took out the snow-white beast bone he had prepared long ago.

This spatial beast bone had not been taken back since Ling Shuang gave it to him last time.

He had originally intended to return it upon his return this time, but because of the Genius Competition, he hadn't had the time.

Now, it was just the right time to put it to use...

Boom!

Surging Qi and blood were injected into it, and Xu Jingming's tall figure instantly vanished from where he stood.

When he appeared again, he was already inside the energy defensive shield of the protective talisman!

"Spatial power? How could you possibly have it?" Wang Mang was completely panicked.

At this moment, the call he had just dialed had already been connected, and a steady voice sounded from the other end of the phone:

"Xiao Mang, it's so late, is there something you need me for?"

"Dad! Xu..."

Wang Mang immediately shouted loudly, but before he could finish his sentence, it came to an abrupt halt.

Because a sharp long spear tip had pierced through from the center of his brow.

Accompanied by red and white matter, it penetrated out from the back of his head!

Although he was a Rank 6 Enhancement-type Awakened, with his head pierced through, no matter how vigorous his Qi and blood were, there was no saving him.

And on his slightly pale face, there still hung a trace of astonishment.

Clearly, he hadn't expected Xu Jingming's strike to be so clean and decisive, without a hint of hesitation.

Crackle, crackle—

Brilliant golden lightning erupted, and Wang Mang's head suddenly exploded.

Swish—

Retracting the long spear and giving it a fierce shake, the blood stained on it was all flung onto the ground.

"Hello, Xiao Mang, what's going on over there?"

The voice from the other end of the phone continued to sound.

A black combat boot stepped down, crushing the phone to pieces.

The golden lightning in Xu Jingming's eyes gradually faded as he looked at the headless corpse on the ground that had already lost its life force.

"The grudge between you and me should have been wiped clean during the preliminary rounds.

But since you insisted on seeking your own death, you can't blame me."

Xu Jingming coldly put away his long spear, and the brilliant golden lightning quickly swallowed and annihilated the corpse on the ground.

"Hiss, S-rank, you really killed Wang Mang?"

The holographic projection of the green-haired, twin-tailed Yi Wa emerged from his smart armguard, her brows knitted into a 'chuan' shape:

"This is trouble now; that old guy Wang Zhen definitely won't be done with you."

"He who kills will be killed; I am merely paying him back in his own coin."

Swish—

Brilliant lightning dragon wings unfolded from behind him, and Xu Jingming quickly flew away from this place.

"S-rank, I have already erased all traces of you on the internet.

The only one who might guess that you are the murderer now is that butler of Wang Mang's.

But that butler is over in Qingjing; it's too late for us to rush over there now."

Xu Jingming was flying in the sky, Yi Wa's anxious voice echoing in his ears.

"It doesn't matter; from the moment the action started, I never intended to hide my identity."

Xu Jingming remained calm and composed, then took his phone out from his spatial ring and dialed his teacher Su Su Qingli's number.

"Jingming, it's so late, is there something you need?"

A crisp, pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Teacher, there's something I'd like to ask for your help with..."

Xu Jingming quickly recounted the ins and outs of the matter.

He had expected to be met with Su Su Qingli's fury or a harsh scolding.

But to his surprise, Su Su Qingli didn't have any intention of being angry, only saying faintly:

"Come back to headquarters first, then we'll talk."

Although Xu Jingming was somewhat surprised, he still nodded: "Okay."

After saying this, he hung up the phone and quickly flew toward the nearest airport.

"Xiao Mang, this child, what exactly is the situation?"

At the same time, far away in Qingjing, Wang Zhen put down his phone in confusion, just as he was preparing to call back.

The smart bracelet worn on his wrist suddenly vibrated violently, and at the same time, a blood-red warning box popped up.

"Warning! Warning! Bracelet No. 005 has been destroyed!"

"Warning! Warning! Bracelet No. 005..."

A piercing alarm sound echoed in the training room.

"Bracelet No. 005, that's the one belonging to that child Xiao Mang!"

Linking it to Wang Mang's shout just now, Wang Zhen's expression suddenly changed, realizing that an accident had befallen Wang Mang.

"Who is it! Who dares to lay a hand on my son?!"

Wang Zhen roared in a low voice, his voice seeming to make the air tremble.

The next moment, his entire body was enveloped by dense Qi and blood, and he instantly vanished from where he stood...

7:28 AM, Leiting Martial Hall Headquarters.

At this time, most Awakened had already begun their day's activities.

Many people were discussing the Genius Competition preliminary rounds that ended last night.

Among them, Xu Jingming, as the first place in Competition Zone 73, having wildly slashed 480,000 points, was naturally one of the subjects of heated discussion.

Besides that, Su Yu, the SS-rank Awakened who was exposed after the preliminary rounds ended, also attracted quite a bit of attention.

And the protagonist, Xu Jingming, had already returned from Chuan Province at this time and had just entered Su Su Qingli's villa.

"Teacher, I'm here."

Xu Jingming walked into the villa's living room with steady steps.

On the living room sofa, Su Su Qingli, wearing a light cyan dress and looking as perfect and flawless as a fairy, seemed to have been waiting for a while.

"Over seven hours, rushing back and forth between Gui Province and Chuan Province, you must be tired too; sit down first."

Su Su Qingli's red lips moved slightly, and her crisp voice sounded.

Xu Jingming, still unable to figure out Su Su Qingli's attitude, felt confused, but still sat down on the opposite sofa.

But Su Su Qingli's next sentence left him greatly surprised.

"I have already understood the matter you told me.

You are not at fault in this matter; killing Wang Mang is fine.

If his father Wang Zhen really dares to come looking for trouble, just leave it to me to handle."

"You're not blaming me?" Xu Jingming's expression was stunned.

He had thought he would at least be scolded a few times, but he hadn't expected Su Su Qingli to not have even a hint of blame.

"Why would I blame you?"

Su Su Qingli replied with a light laugh, "Family and friends are the reverse scales of all Awakened.

Wang Mang violated legal regulations first; it is only normal for you to kill him.

If I were in your shoes, I would do the same.

In this matter, even if it goes to the Supreme Council, we are the ones in the right."

The Supreme Council is a meeting participated in by all Rank 9 council members of Great Xia.

It is responsible for handling some of the more thorny or larger events in Great Xia.

For example, the previous kill order against the Tianming Sect was the result of the council's discussion.

Now, this matter involves the SS-rank Xu Jingming and also a Rank 9 Awakened family.

In the end, it is very likely that it will also reach the council.

"So that's how it is." Xu Jingming also let out a sigh of relief.

With Teacher Su backing him up, there shouldn't be any problem with this matter.
