Chapter 798: Zhou Yu Arrives! Is That Xu Jingming?

The thunderstorm state enhanced Xu Jingming's physique to a terrifying level.

But for him right now, this had already reached its limit.

Even if he added Lei Shen Jiang Shi and the Thunder Domain,

it would only amplify the power of Dou Tian Shen Lei, not strengthen his physique.

Before activating the Divine Blood Technique, Xu Jingming's physique was slightly stronger than Lu Wenliang's.

And Lu Wenliang was originally a strength-type adept; after activating the Divine Blood Technique, his strength surged.

Xu Jingming naturally dared not engage in direct confrontation.

Fortunately, he had Huan Lei Bu and Xin Wang Combat Technique, allowing him to effortlessly dodge every slash.

On the rooftop of the residential building, the only two spectators had long been stunned.

"Am I not dreaming?"

Catherine's rosy lips slightly parted, her emerald eyes filled with profound shock.

She had assumed the Tianming Sect target Xu Jingming captured was merely a low-rank eighth-tier adept, but she never expected it was a mid-rank eighth-tier!

Even after the opponent activated the Divine Blood Technique and his aura surged to high-rank eighth-tier, Xu Jingming still appeared utterly at ease.

"An eighth-tier high-rank combat power..."

Catherine, America's top prodigy and the most proud and radiant goddess of the Holy Church, now could not help but smile bitterly.

At her own high-rank sixth-tier, she could barely hold her own against an A-rank low-rank eighth-tier Master Zongshi.

She couldn't even defeat them, let alone kill them.

Xu Jingming dared to engage in close combat with Wu Xuan, the high-rank eighth-tier adept of the Spirit Fox Guild.

"Good! Good! Good! No wonder he's the top prodigy of Great Xia!"

In contrast to Catherine's bitter disappointment, Yang Yao's face was filled with astonishment.

He never imagined Xu Jingming was this powerful!

As for Xu Jingming's entire fight being purely defensive with no offense, he saw no issue at all.

Because he had already contacted Director Zhou Yu, who was a wind-type eighth-tier Master Zongshi and would arrive here soon from downtown.

As long as Xu Jingming could keep Lu Wenliang occupied until Zhou Yu arrived, they could capture him outright!

"What kind of monster are you?"

On the ground below, though Xu Jingming had not launched any attack, Lu Wenliang had already broken down.

In just over a minute, he had slashed nearly a thousand times, yet not a single strike had landed on Xu Jingming.

He felt as if he had been completely read through, toyed with at will!

"Monster?"

Xu Jingming's dragon-like vertical pupils regarded him without a trace of emotion, calmly saying:

"I'm just testing combat techniques."

Since he broke through to mid-rank seventh-tier in Sakura Nation, he had encountered few human eighth-tier adept opponents.

Only two: one was Wu Xuan of the Spirit Fox Guild.

He was an elemental master; fighting him made it impossible to test close-combat strength.

The other was the current Lu Wenliang.

He was an experienced mid-rank eighth-tier martial artist.

Having finally found an opponent to practice close combat with, he naturally wouldn't let him go.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have jumped down from the rooftop—he could have just obliterated him with ranged techniques.

"Testing combat techniques?"

Lu Wenliang, already shattered, could no longer hold himself together.

He pulled out a blood-red pill from his space ring and swallowed it in one gulp!

Boom!!

A sickly flush surged across his grotesque face, and his already formidable aura surged even higher!

Grade Eight Blood-Boosting Pill!

It greatly enhances an adept's power, but after the effect fades, it brings severe side effects.

Lu Wenliang had been driven to desperation.

Because he knew that if he continued delaying, something unpredictable might happen.

"Already panicking?"

Xu Jingming raised his sword-like eyebrows.

Before Lu Wenliang could swing again, his thunder dragon wings snapped open, lifting him a hundred meters into the air.

"Aaaah!!! Get down here!"

Lu Wenliang was nearly driven mad with rage.

He had forgotten that Xu Jingming possessed flight ability!

And for a martial artist like him, unless he reached the ninth-tier Martial Saint realm,

flight would forever be an insurmountable wall!

Of course, there were still ways to counter it.

The furious Lu Wenliang gathered his blood qi beneath his feet.

The next instant, his blood qi exploded violently, turning him into a phantom as he shot upward!

Sky Sparrow Step!

A S+ class movement technique.

He could use his qi and blood to surge forward a short distance, and more critically, he could surge upward into the sky.

And that surge distance reached a full four or five hundred meters, more than enough to reach Xu Jingming.

"Not good!"

Yang Yao's heart jolted in shock, but the Katherina beside him wasn't worried at all.

Her SS-class ability 'Sacred Angel' likewise granted flight.

She knew perfectly well how agile an ability-user could be in the sky under the boost of wings.

Lu Wenliang daring to leap up like that wouldn't just fail to touch Xu Jingming—it would only put himself in danger.

Sure enough, Xu Jingming in midair gave his wings a slight flap and easily flew several hundred meters away.

But Lu Wenliang's surging figure was still hanging at Xu Jingming's original position.

"You actually want to leap up here and fight me? Seeking death!"

With a cold snort, the golden Doushen Shenlei swirling around Xu Jingming's body suddenly boiled up.

At the same time, a massive phantom image of Lei Shen radiating terrifying pressure appeared above his head!

Thunder Domain and Lei Shen Jiang Shi!

Xu Jingming's current strength had already reached its peak state!

"Thunder Dragon Art!!"

The Extreme Glory Thunder Ring behind him spun madly, and a thunder giant dragon over a hundred meters long surged toward Lu Wenliang to devour him.

An ordinary person falling from the sky had no way to borrow any force, but Lu Wenliang, whose aura had already reached the upper tier of eighth rank, was different.

Crimson qi and blood churned; although he couldn't stop the momentum of his fall, he actually used it to dodge about in midair!

"Too slow, way too slow!"

Xu Jingming's heart stirred, and that massive thunder dragon swallowed Lu Wenliang whole in a single bite.

However, it wasn't over yet!

Over a hundred Lei Mao condensed out of thin air around him, pouring toward Lu Wenliang like bullets from a Vulcan cannon.

At the same time, black clouds rolled across the sky, and a string of golden lightning bolts struck down one after another!

Boosted by Lei Shen Jiangshi and Thunder Domain, Xu Jingming at this moment had truly become a spell-casting artillery platform.

One extremely dangerous lightning-type combat technique after another was thrown out, with cooldown times not even exceeding 0.5 seconds.

At this moment, a slender, graceful figure wreathed in wild wind had already rushed nearby.

Looking at the scene ahead, Zhou Yu's flight speed abruptly slowed, and a look of surprise surfaced on her Bai Xi pretty face.

Above Bolan Street ahead, a golden Lei Hai had appeared, illuminating the pitch-black night sky!

Within the Lei Hai, golden lightning weaved like flood dragons, crackling and popping, as if the most powerful force in heaven and earth were roaring.

Every bolt of lightning contained boundless might, making even her—an upper-tier eighth-rank Weida Sect master—feel a pang of heart-palpitating dread.

And at the very center of that Lei Hai stood a man like a god.

This man's body was tall and straight, over three meters in height.

The muscles beneath his black combat suit were knotted and coiled, as if harboring astonishing power!

On his handsome face was a pair of golden dragon pupils brimming with thunder!

Within those dragon pupils, a cold, brutal, bloodthirsty murderous aura bloomed.

Thunder cheered and danced upon the surface of his body.

Paired with the slowly rotating golden halo behind him, the man looked as if he were Lei Ting himself, commanding all thunder!

"That's... Xu Jingming?"

Zhou Yu's expression turned to one of uncertainty and disbelief.
