Chapter 878: KILLING! THE IMPOTENT RAGE OF THE WHITE CLOUD WOLF!

Whoosh—

The massive form of Storm Fury Dragon flew toward Catherine.

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 Catherine.

Before the dragon arrived, its terrifying gale and pressure reached ahead.

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

It was a natural bodily response of a lower lifeform facing a higher one.

Adrenaline surged wildly, always ready for the impending crisis.

"So... so strong a pressure!"

Hidden among the shrubs, Catherine's rosy face paled slightly, her body trembling unconsciously.

Even with her SS-rank ability, she couldn't avoid such a negative reaction before a dragon-type beast emperor.

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

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

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

The Storm Fury Dragon was now less than two thousand meters away.

Even if beast emperors' spiritual power couldn't match that of a human ninth-rank, it was still enough to detect their presence.

They weren't as deranged as Xu Jingming—any stray wind blades the Storm Fury Dragon unleashed could kill them; she dared not risk it.

"Alright." Catherine understood the gravity of the situation.

Without hesitation, she pulled a pure white beast bone from her space ring—it was clearly a space beast bone.

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

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 over from over a kilometer away.

With his perfected Lightning Flash and eighth-rank combat power, his instant dash distance exceeded one kilometer!

"You can't escape! Die!"

A voice rang out like a divine decree.

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

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

Crackling—

Beneath the heavens, the lightning sword stretched over a hundred meters long, its blade edge flickering with black lightning, radiating a lethal aura of danger.

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

Hum—

The Storm Fury Dragon's eyes turned crimson as a thick wind-element shield enveloped its entire body.

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

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

Boom—boom—boom—

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

"Roar!!"

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

Its body was continuously destroyed, then rapidly regenerated.

But it was clear now—its regeneration speed had slowed drastically, unable to keep up with the destruction.

【Ding, slain one ninth-rank lower-tier Storm Fury Dragon, ability points +200, 00.】

Just seconds later, the Storm Fury 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 immense.

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

"200, 00 ability points. So even among beast emperors, different strengths yield different ability points upon slaying."

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

"43. 3 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-rankers!"

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

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

"The Storm Fury Dragon... was slain?"

Meanwhile, Catherine and Mo Nika on the ground were plunged into utter 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 became nearly impossible.

Wind-type beast emperors were especially uncatchable, yet this one had died in Xu Jingming's hands!

This meant Xu Jingming's strength far surpassed that of the Storm Fury Dragon.

"This Xu Jingming... he's already this strong..."

Catherine bit her red lip lightly, hesitated a moment, then tucked away the space beast bone. "Aunt Mo Nika, let's go see."

Shhh—

Three pairs of pure white angelic wings unfurled behind her; Catherine activated her ability and flew toward Xu Jingming.

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

Thus, Xu Jingming, who had just landed and stored the Storm Fury Dragon's corpse in his space ring, saw Catherine and Mo Nika approaching.

"Xu Jingming, long time no see. Didn't expect to meet you here."

Catherine retracted her wings, landing on the ground, a faint smile on her fair face.

Her emerald eyes swept over Xu Jingming, secretly astonished.

From afar, she hadn't noticed—but now that she was close, she sensed from him a pressure no weaker than the Storm Fury Dragon's!

"Catherine."

With the aid of his Mind Net, Xu Jingming had sensed their presence the moment he used Lightning Flash to dash over.

Due to the matter of the Light Essence, he had a decent relationship with Catherine, so he smiled and greeted her.

Then he paused and said: "The wilderness of Dayangzhou is under strict beast quarantine—I'm preparing to teleport out immediately. Do you want to come with?"

"Beast quarantine?"

Catherine blinked, then immediately understood. "Yes, let's go together."

Her swift agreement surprised Mo Nika.

The Goddess rarely trusted someone so readily.

And not even someone from America...

"Alright." Xu Jingming nodded, pulled out the space beast bone, and infused it with his blood qi.

The next instant, spatial energy enveloped the three of them, teleporting them away instantly.

More than ten seconds passed before the White Arctic Wolf's figure teleported nearby.

"Roar—"

A low roar echoed far into the distance, receiving no response.

"Fury Dragon... killed. And by the same lightning..."

The White Arctic Wolf's eyes burned with endless fury.

This location lay at the edge of Dayangzhou's wilderness, too far from the Beast God.

By the time it sensed something wrong and notified the Beast God, it was already too late.

"I've memorized the lightning's aura—whether you're a Saint Clan member or a human, don't let me catch you!"

The White Arctic Wolf's terrifying roar echoed through the forest.

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