Chapter 522: Do More People Help? Ruthless Annihilation in Wuying Town!

~6 min read 1,120 words

A 100-person arena brawl is all about chaos—no one knows who will strike whom.

Thus, the final ten survivors are naturally the strongest among them.

But when Group 856's match began, over a dozen psychics simultaneously lunged at Xu Jingming.

No one expected this.

Worse still, these dozen or so were almost the strongest among everyone except Xu Jingming!

This sudden turn instantly sparked a roar of shock from the crowd.

"What's going on? Why is everyone attacking Xu Jingming?"

"What else could it be? Obviously because Lei Di is too strong."

"Hmph, I, Lei Di, crush all defiance—what if they surround me? It's just suicide."

"Kate, Matthew, and Henry are American—teamwork makes sense, but why are competitors from other countries joining in?"

"......"

Amid the tense atmosphere of the audience, the dozen or so surged within a hundred meters of Xu Jingming!

"If mob tactics worked, I wouldn't be the top contender in this zone."

Die! Dou Tian Shen Lei!!

Xu Jingming stood calmly in place, while terrifying golden lightning erupted outward from him like a shockwave!

Crackling—

A thunderous roar, like a thousand birds shrieking, suddenly erupted!

In an instant, the surrounding hundreds of meters became a sea of lightning!

Followed by waves of screams.

Psychics with weaker power were instantly obliterated!

Those slightly stronger used defensive battle arts and held out a few more seconds—but their defenses were still shattered by the lightning, killing them outright.

Within seconds, of the dozen who attacked Xu Jingming, only five remained alive—including Kate, Matthew, and Henry.

"Whoa, this is the SS-rank psychic ability, Dou Tian Shen Lei?"

"Incredible power—nearly instant death for all psychics below sixth rank!"

Gasps of astonishment rose from the audience seats.

Lightning-based psychic abilities are undoubtedly among the most offensive of all psychic types on Blue Planet!

Everyone had already heard of Xu Jingming's SS-rank psychic ability, 'Dou Tian Shen Lei'.

But when the brilliant golden lightning actually appeared before their eyes, they still couldn't help being stunned.

Too strong!

This is not the same concept as the raw power of enhancement-type psychics.

No matter how strong an enhancement-type psychic is, they still rely on weapons or fists—nowhere near this level of dazzling destruction.

"Has Jingming's lightning ability reached this level already?"

Song Qiuyun's rosy lips parted slightly, her almond eyes filled with shock.

Though she often sparred with Xu Jingming, he always suppressed his power to match hers.

He'd never unleashed his full strength before!

Now that he had, her shock was no less than anyone else's.

The white-haired girl Jiang Chuxuan was no better off.

Her beautiful eyes locked onto the towering figure on the arena, wreathed in golden lightning, dominating the entire field.

"Our Jiangsu Vice Governor is only at peak fifth rank."

That means Xiao Ming's single psychic burst killed seven or eight people of vice-governor rank?"

Aunt Xu Qingwan was equally incredulous.

Psychic abilities usually require battle arts to unleash their full combat potential.

Psychic burst is the weakest form of offense.

Yet even so, Xu Jingming merely unleashed a simple psychic burst.

And he mercilessly slaughtered those psychics who had activated both their abilities and battle arts...

"His lightning ability is this terrifying?"

On the arena, the five remaining attackers who had surrounded Xu Jingming all paled slightly.

Their original plan was to launch a coordinated assault and try to eliminate Xu Jingming first.

But they never imagined that more than half of them would be eliminated right at the start!

Fortunately, the few of them still standing had held their ground.

"Quick fight, quick end! Don't stay in his lightning domain!"

With a shout in English, the strongest among them, Kate, charged forward first.

In a flash, he crossed over a hundred meters and appeared before Xu Jingming.

Die! Kuang Xing Zhan!

His body was covered in silver fur, like a gorilla, as he swung his battle blade toward Xu Jingming!

Kuang Xing Zhan!

Enhancement-type SS-rank battle art!

As a mid-sixth-rank psychic, this was Kate's strongest killing technique.

Now unleashed, terrifying blade light exploded across the arena!

Xu Jingming did not choose to block it—through the perception of the SS-rank battle art, 'Xin Wang'.

He saw through the slash trajectory of that blade with complete ease, his body tilting slightly to one side.

He dodged the slash by a mere two or three centimeters!

"What?!"

Kate's face was full of shock; she never imagined Xu Jingming's footwork could be so agile.

And at that moment, Xu Jingming's long spear had already come sweeping across like a bolt of lightning!

Boom!!

The spear shaft struck Kate squarely on the waist and abdomen.

A body hardened enough to withstand missile bombardment without a scratch, once the ability was activated.

Yet under the bombardment of this long spear, it instantly warped and deformed!

The next moment,

His entire body was about to be blasted away by the tremendous impact!

However, it wasn't over yet.

Xu Jingming's free left hand reached out, suddenly grabbing his head and yanking him over!

"Burst!"

Rumble rumble rumble!!

Brilliant and lethal golden Lei Ting poured ruthlessly into Kate's brain.

Then, the large hand squeezed down hard!

Boom!

The entire head, like a fragile grape, was crushed and burst open on the spot!

Splurt—

Lei Ting and fresh blood splattered everywhere; the red stains bloomed in a spray pattern at Xu Jingming's feet.

"Tch, for a region's number one, he sure was fragile—squeezed a little and he popped."

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming casually tossed Kate's twisted, headless corpse aside.

Across the way, the remaining Matthew and his group were completely dumbfounded.

The hardest bone in the human body is the skull, and Kate was a sixth-tier mid-rank Enhancer ability-user.

With her ability activated, her skull was as hard as alloy, enough to withstand a bite force of over a hundred tons!

Yet now it had been crushed to a pulp—what kind of strength did that take?

And also,

Crushing an opponent's head with bare hands? No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like something a human would enjoy doing.

In reality, Xu Jingming, who hadn't entered Lei Ting Extremity state, truly couldn't crush a skull with his grip alone.

He had merely channeled Doushen Shenlei into the head, then detonated it in an instant to blast the skull apart.

It was just that his left hand instinctively applied some force, creating this false impression.

Matthew and the others didn't see through it, and the audience wouldn't care about such details either.

They only saw the shocking scene of Xu Jingming crushing Kate's skull bare-handed and slaying her without mercy!

And so, throughout the entire arena, the cheers belonging to Xu Jingming rose once again!
