Chapter 660: Almost Instant Kill! What Kind of Monster Is This?

More than half a minute had passed since the Sect of Destiny began its action.

The entire Peter Square was littered with corpses, thick with the stench of blood.

Yet there was little blood on the ground, and even the corpses showed no color of blood.

While the Sect of Destiny's adepts slaughtered ordinary civilians,

they used special containers to collect all their blood.

Xu Jingming did not know why, but he killed several Divine Blood Messengers and seized a few of their containers.

Of the 53 Divine Blood Messengers on the field, he had killed 45.

All 45 were below seventh-rank adepts.

Xu Jingming's attacks were almost always instant kills.

A single chain of lightning could kill five or six at once!

The remaining eight were Master-level adepts,

not the kind you could kill in a single strike—they couldn't be taken down in a short time.

That was why he had left them for last.

"Eva, who is the weakest among the remaining Divine Blood Messengers?"

He planned to pick the softest targets—he was eager to find out.

How many adept points would he gain from killing a seventh-rank Divine Blood Messenger?

"To the southeast. A seventh-rank lower-tier Divine Blood Messenger."

Xu Jingming turned to where Eva indicated.

Indeed, a middle-aged man covered in grotesque beast limbs was fighting the seventh-rank deputy captain of the Holy Order's guard.

Their power levels were not vastly different, but the guard had to protect the surrounding civilians.

As a result, he was being overwhelmingly dominated.

"That's the one."

Golden lightning surged as Xu Jingming prepared to strike him down with Heavenly Thunder Art—

Suddenly, a roar came from behind:

"Xu Jingming! Your opponent is me!"

BOOM!!

Immediately, an extremely powerful aura surged from the side.

"This aura? Seventh-rank upper-tier Master?" Xu Jingming frowned.

A golden thunder ring spun behind him, and golden lightning rapidly surged around him.

Forming a thick barrier, like an eggshell, shielding him completely.

CLANG!!

A battle knife wrapped in crimson blood aura slashed like lightning against the barrier, producing a deafening metallic clash.

The perfected Thunder Barrier dimmed slightly but held firm.

Xu Jingming now clearly saw his opponent, who had leapt back over ten meters after the strike.

He was a man over two meters tall, muscles bulging like a cheetah!

Several bloody, grotesque beast claws protruded from his thighs and abdomen.

"So, he's a seventh-rank upper-tier Divine Blood Messenger..."

Although Xu Jingming didn't want to fight such hard targets—it wasted too much time,

since the man had come to him, he wouldn't retreat.

ZZZT—

Lightning flashed; Xu Jingming vanished from his spot and reappeared less than half a meter before the man, holding the Melted Demon Obsidian Spear.

"Incredible speed!" Keer 's pupils shrank sharply.

"Die! Lei Guan Demon-Slaying Spear!"

The spear in Xu Jingming's hand blazed golden, its surface coated with SS-grade Doushen Thunder in a peculiar pattern.

The next instant,

the air trembled—the spear, blindingly bright, struck like divine punishment aimed at Keer 's skull!

"No!"

Keer 's face turned pale.

He pushed his blood aura to its peak, desperately twisting his head to the left!

As a seventh-rank upper-tier Master, his perception operated at millisecond speed.

His reaction time was terrifying!

BOOM!!

He barely dodged the blow to his head—but his entire left shoulder blade was consumed by lightning.

The spear's attack range wasn't limited to its tip; with lightning enhancement,

its effective range expanded nearly ten centimeters from the tip!

"Indeed, instantly killing a seventh-rank upper-tier Master is still too difficult."

Xu Jingming shook his head.

Compared to Thunder Storm Form, Thunder Extreme Form still fell short.

According to the Degaka Battle Group's power rating, this man was merely a six-star Master.

Had he used Thunder Storm Form, that single spear thrust would have killed him instantly.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Keer, having barely escaped death, stared in shock.

Even with an SS-grade ability, how could a sixth-rank upper-tier adept possibly kill a seventh-rank upper-tier? Isn't that going too far?

More importantly, Xu Jingming nearly succeeded!

If not for the fact that his fused Divine Blood came from a high-agility feline Sovereign Beast,

that spear thrust would have finished him off.

"Almost killed a seventh-rank upper-tier Master in one strike? Is he really this strong?"

On the stage, Catherine, who had watched Xu Jingming Quancheng, involuntarily gasped.

Her astonishment even overshadowed her fury toward Grand Cleric Parker.

After entering sixth-rank upper-tier last night, she had tested her power in the virtual world.

In Divine Presence State, she could achieve the same attack effect.

But Xu Jingming now wasn't even in his strongest state.

"Xu Jingming..." Grand Cleric Parker's eyes gleamed with danger.

If possible, he wished Xu Jingming would die in this Sect of Destiny ambush.

But unfortunately, the Sect of Destiny likely still lacked the capability...

"Too bad you didn't kill me with one strike—you won't get another chance. This wound means nothing!"

On the ground, Keer 's body swirled with crimson blood aura, attempting to heal his shattered left shoulder blade.

As a Qianghuaxi seventh-rank upper-tier adept, the injury looked severe, but would fully heal within a few breaths.

Yet when his blood aura covered the wound, the healing progressed painfully slowly.

"Damn SS-grade ability!" Keer 's face darkened.

He could feel the wild lightning still raging inside him.

Especially in his left shoulder blade—the lightning lingered, blocking the wound's recovery.

"Looks like my attack did have some effect."

Xu Jingming grinned and closed in.

He didn't know if anyone was watching secretly—he wouldn't reveal Thunder Storm Form yet.

As for this enemy, one spear wasn't enough—then he'd strike again.

Within five strikes, he'd be dead.

Keer clearly realized he couldn't fight Xu Jingming head-on and rushed toward Lei Kesi.

At the same time, he urgently transmitted a mental message:

"Lei Kesi! Act now—I can't hold him off!"

Lei Kesi didn't reply. While fighting the guard captain, he used his mental sense to track Xu Jingming's distance.

This was his only chance.

If this ambush failed and Xu Jingming became alert, he'd never get another opportunity.

He had to wait until Xu Jingming entered the perfect attack range before striking.

Lei Kesi waited like a seasoned hunter, poised to strike.

As for the guard captain before him, he hadn't even activated his state yet.

Once activated, even the Holy Order's guard captain couldn't stop him!
