Chapter 515: Slay! Teacher Su's Powerful Backing!

"You think a Rank-8 protective talisman can stop me?"

Xu Jingming snorted coldly, pulling out the pure-white beast bone he had prepared long ago.

This spatial beast bone had never been taken back since Hearing Ling Shuang had given it to him last time.

He had originally planned to return it this time back, but because of the Genius Tournament, he simply hadn't had the time to return it.

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

Boom!

Surging qi and blood poured into it, and Xu Jingming's towering figure vanished on the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already inside the protective talisman's energy barrier!

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

At that moment, the call he had just dialed connected, and a steady voice rang out from the other end:

"Little Mang, it's so late. Is there something you need from me?"

"Dad! Xu......"

Wang Mang immediately shouted loudly, but before he could finish speaking, his voice cut off abruptly.

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

Along with red and white matter, it punched out through the back of his head!

Although he was a Tier-6 Enhancement-type ability user, once his head was pierced through, no amount of surging qi and blood could save him.

And on his rather pale face, there still hung a trace of shock.

Clearly he had not expected Xu Jingming to strike so cleanly and decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

Crackle-crackle—

Blazing golden Lei Ting erupted, and Wang Mang's head suddenly exploded apart.

Swish—

He withdrew the spear and gave it a fierce shake, and the blood staining it was flung entirely onto the ground.

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

The voice on the other end of the phone continued.

A black combat boot stomped down, crushing the phone to pieces in one go.

The golden Lei Ting in Xu Jingming's eyes gradually faded as he looked at the headless corpse on the ground that had already lost all signs of life.

"The grudge between you and me should have been written off during the preliminary round.

But you had to come looking for death yourself, so you can't blame me for this."

Xu Jingming coldly sheathed his spear, and blazing golden Lei Ting swiftly devoured and obliterated the corpse on the ground.

"Hiss, S-Class, you actually killed Wang Mang?"

The holographic projection of green-haired twin-tailed Eva poked out from the smart armguard, her brows knitted into a river-shaped crease:

"This is trouble now. That old coot Wang Zhen definitely won't let this go with you."

"Those who kill are always killed by others. I'm merely returning to him in his own coin, that's all."

Swish—

A blazing thunder dragon wing spread out from behind him, and Xu Jingming swiftly flew away from the spot.

"S-Class, I've already erased every trace of you on the network.

Right now, the only one who might guess you're the killer is that butler of Wang Mang's.

But that butler is over in Qingjing, and if we rush over there right now, we won't make it in time."

Xu Jingming flew through the sky, Eva's anxious voice echoing in his ears.

"It doesn't matter. From the moment the operation began, I never intended to hide my identity."

Xu Jingming remained perfectly composed, then took out his phone from his spatial ring and dialed his teacher Su Qingli.

"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 you to help with......"

Xu Jingming quickly recounted the whole story from beginning to end.

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

But unexpectedly, Su Qingli showed no sign of being angry at all, merely saying lightly:

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

Although somewhat surprised, Xu Jingming still nodded: "Alright."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and swiftly flew toward the nearest airport.

"What on earth is going on with that boy Little Mang?"

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

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

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

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

The shrill alarm echoed through the training room.

"Bracelet No. 005—that's that boy Little Mang's!"

Connecting this with Wang Mang's shout from earlier, Wang Zhen's expression suddenly changed, and he realized something had happened to Wang Mang.

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

Wang Zhen growled in a low voice, the sound seeming to make even the air tremble.

The next moment, his entire body was wrapped in dense qi and blood, and he vanished from the spot in an instant......

7:28 AM, Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall headquarters.

At this time, most ability users had already begun the day's activities.

Quite a few people were discussing the genius tournament preliminaries that had ended the previous night.

Among them, Xu Jingming—as the number one of Sector 73, who had slashed a whopping 480,000 points—was naturally one of the hot topics of discussion.

Besides him, Su Yu, the SS-grade ability awakener who had been exposed right after the preliminaries ended, had also drawn quite a bit of attention.

Yet Xu Jingming, the protagonist of all this, had already returned from Sichuan Province at this point, just stepping into 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 Qingli, dressed in a pale cyan long dress and flawless as a fairy, seemed to have already been waiting for a while.

"Over seven hours, rushing back and forth between Guangxi Province and Sichuan Province—you must be tired. Sit down first."

Su Qingli's crimson lips moved slightly, and her crisp voice rang out.

Still unable to figure out Su Qingli's attitude, Xu Jingming felt a sudden wave of doubt, but he still sat down on the sofa opposite her.

Yet the next sentence from Su Qingli greatly surprised him.

"I've already gotten a clear understanding of what you told me.

This wasn't your fault. Wang Mang killed is killed.

If his father Wang Zhen really dares to come after you, just leave it to me to handle."

"You're not blaming me?" Xu Jingming's expression was one of astonishment.

He had expected to be scolded at least a few times, but he hadn't expected Su Qingli to show even the slightest hint of reproach.

"Why would I blame you?"

Su Qingli replied with a light laugh, "Family and friends are every ability user's reverse scale.

Wang Mang violated the laws and decrees first; it was perfectly normal for you to kill him.

If I were in your place, I would have done the same.

Even if this matter were brought before the Supreme Council, the reason would be on our side."

The Supreme Council was a meeting attended jointly by all the ninth-rank councilors of the Great Xia.

It was responsible for handling some of the more thorny or major incidents in Great Xia.

For example, the previous execution order against the Tianming Sect was the result of council deliberation.

Now this matter involved the SS-grade Xu Jingming, and also involved a ninth-rank ability user clan.

In the end, it was very likely to be brought before the council as well.

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

With Teacher Su backing him up, this matter should be no problem.
