Chapter 681: I'll Count Down Three Numbers! Leave or Stay?

"Zhou Xuan is actually Xu Jingming?"

Lei Di was equally full of shock.

Although Xu Jingming had taken the double championship of the Global Genius Exchange Tournament,

in their eyes, he was still merely a genius who had yet to grow.

Yet Zhou Xuan was a ruthless killer who had fought on the front lines many times, targeted by Rank-8 ferocious beasts!

There were even rumors that Zhou Xuan's strength had already reached the level of a Jiuxing Master Zongshi, though it had never been confirmed.

But now, you're telling me Xu Jingming and Zhou Xuan are actually the same person—who wouldn't be dumbfounded?

"The geniuses of every country basically just hole up in their own nations to cultivate.

They rarely even enter the wilderness zones, let alone the front-line battlefields where the casualty rate is extremely high.

This Xu Jingming of Great Xia really is an oddity."

Lei Di could not help but sigh in admiration.

He had come over from the European Union side, a Rank-7 Master Zongshi, and his impression of Great Xia was neither particularly good nor particularly bad.

But judging purely from Xu Jingming's own performance, he was far better than those geniuses back in the European Union.

"Xu Jingming! I know you are a pride of Great Xia.

But just because of that identity, you want to take all the Divine Blood for yourself? Isn't that a bit too naive?"

After the surprise, a Rank-7 Peak Master Zongshi questioned in a low voice.

Although Xu Jingming was Great Xia's SS-rank pride, in the face of real, tangible benefits, no one would shrink back because of that identity.

"Identity? No, no, no. I never said I would speak based on identity—I speak based on strength!"

Xu Jingming shook his head, then looked toward Leng Yuexi's side and said with a smile:

"Sister Xi, Xiao Chan, long time no see. You don't mind helping me out at this moment, do you?"

Although he really wanted to fight all the experts present,

the Divine Blood was the top priority. He would not take that risk; it was better to call the Leng Yuexi sisters along.

"Half a year without seeing each other, and the first thing you do is boss me around. Is that any way for a little brother to act?"

Rolling her eyes at Xu Jingming in annoyance, Leng Yuexi crossed her arms and walked toward Xu Jingming's side.

Leng Yuexi was already tall and slender, about 1.74 meters in height.

Moreover, her proportions were excellent; the legs wrapped in her battle suit had just a touch of soft flesh while being as straight and slender as chopsticks.

A dark-purple high-temperature flame constantly accompanied her, making her look like a queen of flames.

"Honestly, I'm a senior too. Why do you call my sister 'Sister Xi' but call me 'Xiao Chan'!"

Leng Yuechan grumbled discontentedly, but she still closely followed her sister Leng Yuexi's footsteps and walked up.

The fluffy fox tail behind her swayed along.

Making the same move were the other two Rank-7 Upper and Rank-7 Middle Sect Masters.

Once those few took the field, the number of people on Xu Jingming's side immediately reached five!

Meanwhile, the Rank-7 Sect Masters remaining on the opposite side became ten.

"Calling in reinforcements—is that what you call strength?" a Rank-7 Peak Master Zongshi said disdainfully.

"Connections are also a form of strength," Xu Jingming said matter-of-factly.

"The connections you're talking about are just one Rank-6 Middle, two Rank-7 Middle, plus one Rank-7 Upper?

They're all just the old, weak, sick, and crippled. What right do they have to monopolize the Divine Blood?

Although the number of people on Xu Jingming's side had surged, it still could not convince the crowd.

"Rank-7 Middle? Don't underestimate me, or you might lose your life!"

Leng Yuexi's gaze turned cold, and her Elemental Fire S-rank ability 'Nine Nether Purple Flame' erupted at full power, its might surging violently!

That scorching yet eerie aura made everyone present change expression.

S-rank ability!

At this moment, a Master Zongshi-level expert recognized Leng Yuexi's identity and shouted in a low voice:

"I know her—she's Leng Yuexi, the branch leader of the Spirit Fox Guild. Her combat power rivals that of a Rank-8 Master Zongshi Zongshi!"

At these words, the surrounding people immediately changed color one after another.

Xu Jingming and Leng Yuexi both had combat power close to that of a Rank-8 Master Zongshi Zongshi.

And among those remaining on their side, although there were four Rank-7 Peak Sect Masters,

in pure combat power, they really were not necessarily stronger than Xu Jingming's group!

"Now, can you hand the Divine Blood over to us?"

Xu Jingming looked around expressionlessly: "I'll count down three numbers. Leave or stay, it's up to you.

But after three numbers, anyone who hasn't left is my enemy!

3... 2......"

The moment Xu Jingming began counting down, Lei Di of the Dejiaka Battle Group immediately led his companion away without looking back.

Back on the Moben front-line battlefield, he had once participated in the same campaign as Xu Jingming.

In that campaign, the combat power Xu Jingming displayed was something he could never match.

And now, the aura Xu Jingming was giving off was more than twice as strong as before on the battlefield!

God knows how terrifying Xu Jingming's true combat power was; in any case, he didn't have the guts to stay here any longer.

Whoever wanted the Divine Blood on the ground could have it; he had no intention of getting involved.

With Lei Di and his companion gone, only eight of the remaining ten people were left, and of the four Rank-7 Peak Sect Masters, only three remained.

Immediately after, another three people left.

When Xu Jingming's countdown ended, there were still two peak seventh-rank Grandmasters and three upper seventh-rank Grandmasters remaining—five people in total.

They all had a certain confidence in their own strength, which was why they hadn't left.

"I've given you your chance. Seems you're not planning to accept the favor."

The savagery in Xu Jingming's eyes could no longer be restrained:

"Then don't blame me! Lei Shen Jiang Shi!"

With a fierce roar, an overwhelmingly oppressive phantom of Lei Shen materialized above Xu Jingming's head.

Immediately after, he pointed with his left hand.

The Extreme Radiance Thunder Ring behind him spun madly, and the once-clear sky was instantly covered in dark clouds!

Crack! Crack! Crack!......

The next moment,

Accompanied by thunder-like sounds, dozens of heaven-piercing bolts of lightning struck continuously toward those three upper seventh-rank Grandmasters!

Heavenly Thunder Art!

This lightning-element S+ rank single-target combat technique, under the augmentation of Lei Shen Jiang Shi, had forcibly been transformed into an area-of-effect combat technique!

Those three, being upper seventh-rank Grandmasters, naturally had their own trump cards.

But they only managed to block three or four Heavenly Thunder Arts before they could no longer hold on, and were ruthlessly swallowed by the golden lightning!

Two or three seconds later, the lightning dissipated. Among the three, the Elementalist with the weakest physique had already stopped breathing.

As for the other two Enhancement-type upper seventh-rank Grandmasters, their bodies were scorched black, their breathing faint—they were already gravely wounded and on the brink of death.

"A single combat technique, and it's terrifying to such a degree?!"

Leng Yuechan's eyes were wide and round, her fair, exquisite pretty face full of shock.

Those were upper seventh-rank Grandmasters!

In any country, they would be absolute powerhouses!

Yet before Xu Jingming, they were like ants, crushed at will.

"Jingming is already this strong?" Leng Yuexi's beautiful eyes likewise held a trace of astonishment.

She had originally thought that once she reached mid seventh-rank and fully mastered her S-rank ability, she should be able to crush Xu Jingming.

But judging by the current situation, Xu Jingming's strength didn't seem to be much weaker than her own......
