Chapter 878: KILLING! THE FUTILE RAGE OF THE STORM WRATH DRAGON!

Whoosh—

The massive form of the Storm Wrath Dragon flew toward Katherine.

Its mastery over wind elements allowed it to easily break through three times the speed of sound.

In the blink of an eye, it was less than three thousand meters away from Katherine.

Before the dragon arrived, its terrifying gale and pressure arrived first.

Katherine felt goosebumps rise all over her body, her heart pounding wildly.

It was a natural bodily response of lower beings facing higher beings.

Adrenaline was wildly secreted, constantly preparing for the imminent crisis.

"So… so strong a pressure!"

Hidden among the shrubs, Katherine's rosy face turned slightly pale, her body trembling unconsciously.

Even though she possessed an SS-rank ability, she could not avoid such a negative reaction before this dragon beast emperor.

At the same time, she further sensed Xu Jingming's strength.

He could fight against such a creature—and even force it to flee!

"My lord, let's teleport away quickly," Mo Nika pleaded anxiously.

The Storm Wrath Dragon was now less than two thousand meters from them.

Even if beast emperors' spiritual power was inferior to human ninth-rank cultivators, it was still enough to detect their presence.

They weren't as deranged as Xu Jingming—any few wind blades the Storm Wrath Dragon hurled their way would kill them instantly; she dared not risk that possibility.

"Alright," Katherine understood the gravity of the situation.

Without hesitation, she took out a pure white beast bone from her space ring—it was unmistakably a space beast bone.

As a descendant of the supreme powerhouse, she naturally possessed a teleportation survival technique.

In fact, this space beast bone was even larger than Xu Jingming's!

Shhh—

Just as she was about to teleport away, a flash of black lightning streaked across the sky.

Xu Jingming's towering figure flew in from over a kilometer away.

With his perfected Lightning Flash technique combined with his eighth-rank combat power, his instantaneous dash distance exceeded one kilometer!

"You can't escape! Die!"

A voice rang out like a god's decree.

In Katherine and Mo Nika's stunned gazes, a bolt of black lightning surged skyward from the figure whose back floated a black circular halo.

Then, with a boom, a colossal black lightning greatsword condensed in the sky.

Crackling—

Beneath the heavens, the lightning greatsword stretched over a hundred meters long, its blade edge flickering with black lightning that radiated a lethal aura.

The greatsword looked immensely heavy, yet when unleashed, it moved as swiftly as lightning, striking directly onto the Storm Wrath Dragon!

Hum—

The Storm Wrath Dragon's eyes turned blood-red; a thick wind-element shield enveloped its entire body.

Like a green sun suddenly rising from the ground, it emitted terrifying energy fluctuations.

Yet this sun was utterly useless before the black heavenly thunder greatsword.

Boom—boom—boom—

The Heavenly Thunder Punishment Sword shattered the shield like rotten straw, striking the Storm Wrath Dragon directly.

"Roar!!"

A pitiful cry echoed as black lightning coiled around the Storm Wrath Dragon's body.

Its body was continuously destroyed, then rapidly regenerated.

But it was clearly visible—its regeneration speed had slowed drastically, completely unable to keep up with the rate of destruction!

【Ding, defeated one ninth-rank lower-tier Storm Wrath Dragon, Ability Points +200,000.】

Just seconds later, the Storm Wrath Dragon plummeted from the sky.

Simultaneously, a pleasant system notification echoed in his mind.

"No soul emerged this time?"

Xu Jingming was slightly surprised.

But he quickly realized why.

The Heavenly Thunder Punishment Sword was an SSS-rank combat technique; though not perfected, its mastery was at Master level, its power formidable.

Lightning ability was inherently the enemy of souls—this single strike of the Heavenly Thunder Punishment Sword had likely obliterated the Storm Wrath Dragon's soul along with its body.

"200,000 Ability Points—so even among beast emperors, different strengths yield different Ability Points upon defeat."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly, then silently asked in his mind: "Eva, how long did it take me to kill this Storm Wrath Dragon?"

"43.13 seconds—less than a minute!"

Eva's excited voice echoed in his mind, "Your combat power is already stronger than many ninth-rank lower-tier A-rank cultivators!"

"Is that so?" Xu Jingming's eyes gleamed.

He thought of Su Qingli—given his current strength, could he challenge a ninth-rank S-rank?

"The Storm Wrath Dragon… was actually slain?"

Meanwhile, Katherine and Mo Nika on the ground were plunged into boundless shock.

Defeating a ninth-rank and killing a ninth-rank were entirely different concepts—due to the existence of indestructible matter, killing a ninth-rank creature was extremely difficult.

Thus, once they realized they couldn't win, they immediately fled; killing them was nearly impossible.

A wind-type Beast Emperor like this couldn't even be chased down, yet who would have thought it died at Xu Jingming's hands!

This means Xu Jingming's strength is far greater than that Storm Rage Dragon!

"This guy Xu Jingming has actually already become this strong..."

Catherine's pearly teeth gently bit her red lips. After a moment's hesitation, she still put away the spatial beast bone. "Aunt Mo Nika, let's go, we'll head up and take a look."

Whoosh—

Three pairs of pure-white angel wings spread out behind her. Catherine activated her ability and flew toward Xu Jingming.

Mo Nika had no time to stop her and could only follow along.

Thus, Xu Jingming, who had just landed on the ground and stored the Storm Rage Dragon's corpse in his spatial ring, saw Catherine and Mo Nika coming to meet him.

"Xu Jingming, long time no see. I didn't expect to run into you here."

Catherine folded her wings and landed on the ground, a faint smile blooming on her fair, pretty face.

A pair of emerald-green eyes swept over Xu Jingming, and she was secretly shocked in her heart.

From a distance just now she hadn't felt it, but now that she was close, she could actually detect from Xu Jingming a powerful oppressive aura no weaker than that Storm Rage Dragon!

"Catherine."

With the Heart Net's enhancement, Xu Jingming had already sensed the two of them after advancing over with Lei Shan.

Because of the matter with the Light Element Essence, he was on fairly good terms with Catherine, so he smiled and greeted her.

He then pondered and said, "Recently the fierce beasts in the Dayangzhou wilderness zone are under martial law. I'm preparing to teleport away immediately. Do you want to come along?"

"Fierce beasts under martial law?"

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and hurriedly said, "Alright, we'll leave together."

Agreeing so readily left Mo Nika beside her somewhat surprised.

The Goddess my lord rarely trusts a person like this.

And he's not even someone from Mi Nation...

"Alright." Xu Jingming nodded, took out the spatial beast bone, and channeled his qi and blood into it.

The next instant, spatial power spread out, wrapped the three of them, and teleported them away in a flash.

Only after a good ten-plus seconds did the figure of the White Wolf of the Void teleport nearby.

"Roar—"

A low growl rang out and spread far into the distance, yet received no response at all.

"The Rage Dragon was killed, and by the very same kind of lightning..."

The White Wolf of the Void's eyes were already filled with endless fury.

This place was at the edge of the Dayangzhou wilderness zone, too far from the Beast God my lord.

By the time it sensed something was wrong and notified him to come over, it was already too late.

"The scent of lightning, I've already memorized it. Whether you're of the Sacred Race or a human, don't let me catch you!"

The White Wolf of the Void's terrifying roar rang out through the forest.

But for Xu Jingming, who had already teleported away, it was destined to be nothing but impotent rage...
