Chapter 940: KILL! 200,000 PSYCHIC POINTS!

Crackling—

Dense black lightning swirled around Xu Jingming's body.

The energy-based lightning had solidified into physical form, blocking Nawa's battle blade.

"It's that SSS-rank defensive combat technique again!"

Nawa's expression turned stunned.

But how could Xu Jingming cast so fast?

It had been less than three seconds since his last cast!

Could this not be an SSS-rank technique?

The thought surfaced instantly—and was immediately dismissed.

He knew Kent's strength well; if this weren't an SSS-rank technique, it could never have blocked that World-Ending Flame Ball!

"The release of this technique is much smoother than before."

"Before my breakthrough, I could only dodge using movement techniques—I couldn't block it head-on."

Thunder Shield is an SSS-rank technique; ordinary lightning-affinity adepts typically need nearly ten seconds to cast it successfully.

But Xu Jingming possesses a lightning-affinity SSS-rank ability, so his casting time is far shorter.

Even so, before his breakthrough, he still needed about four to five seconds to cast it successfully.

Now, having broken through from Eighth Stage Lower to Eighth Stage Middle, he can cast it again every two seconds.

"The boost from this breakthrough is even greater than I imagined."

Sizzle—

A flash of black lightning, and Xu Jingming's spear thrust forward again.

At the same time, a deafening dragon roar echoed—a hundred-meter-long black thunder dragon coalesced with a thunderous crash and hurtled toward Nawa!

Lightning-affinity SS+ rank technique, Thunder Dragon Art!

"What kind of monster is this? He's fighting hand-to-hand and still casting spell-type techniques?"

Nawa's expression darkened slightly.

Xu Jingming's damage was extremely high; that one spear strike had already consumed 5% of his Imperishable Matter.

If he took this Thunder Dragon Art head-on, he'd lose even more Imperishable Matter!

"Don't engage directly! Wait until Kent finishes Su Qingli, then surround him!"

Nawa made his decision quickly.

Endless crimson blood qi condensed around his body, forming a thick blood qi defense barrier.

At the same time, his left shoulder, previously obliterated by Xu Jingming's spear, rapidly regrew.

Boom—boom—boom!!

The thunder dragon struck—the blood qi barrier shuddered violently but did not break.

Simultaneously, he retreated at breakneck speed, trying to escape Xu Jingming's attack range.

"Think you can hide like a turtle? See if your shell's strong enough! Flash Lightning!"

Xu Jingming sneered.

A flash of black lightning—his tall, slender figure vanished from where he stood and reappeared before Nawa, hundreds of meters away.

In flight speed, he was slightly faster than Nawa—but not by much.

But in burst acceleration, with his SSS-rank Flash Lightning Technique, he was incomparably faster than Nawa!

"Thunder Prison!"

Endless black lightning spread, instantly sealing off all escape routes around Nawa.

At the same time, Xu Jingming's spear, wreathed in lightning, stabbed toward Nawa once more.

The sharp spear tip gathered terrifying energy, like a falling meteor!

SSS-rank technique, Starlight Lightning Spear!

Pfft—

With just one thrust, Xu Jingming shattered the blood qi barrier encircling Nawa outright!

"Another SSS-rank technique! And it's close-combat? How many trump cards does this guy have?!"

Nawa was nearly driven mad.

Even a Ninth Stage Saint often mastered only one or two SSS-rank techniques.

More than that, and they'd have no energy left to cultivate.

Yet now, Xu Jingming had already unleashed at least three SSS-rank techniques.

Both close-range and ranged—this was simply unbelievable!

"Kent, Nira, hurry up! I can't hold out much longer!" Nawa growled in frustration.

He had thought defeating Xu Jingming would be effortless.

Even if Xu Jingming was a genius, he should still be suppressible.

But the reality had flipped—he was being utterly dominated by Xu Jingming!

"How is this possible? Is Xu Jingming really this strong?"

Kent and Nira both paled slightly.

Although Nawa was only Ninth Stage Lower, his S-rank ability made him stronger than both of them.

If even he couldn't withstand Xu Jingming, neither could they.

"Fire Forbidden Art: Flame Dragon Roar!"

Kent growled, pushing his elemental fire affinity to its limit, unleashing wave after wave of fire techniques.

On the other side, Nila also accelerated her offensive rhythm, immediately placing immense pressure on Su Qingli and Tie Tie Xian Lian.

But Su Qingli was originally a Rank 9 S-Class, and though bound by an insurmountable constraint, her combat power was far from weak.

Her pale, delicate face showed no change in its cold expression; blue lightning flowed as she responded with ease.

On the other side, Tie Tie Xian Lian also possessed formidable vitality—even after losing vast quantities of vines, she regenerated them swiftly.

All three battlefields were suddenly locked in a state of suppression!

Especially Xu Jingming's side.

His expression was icy, his black dragon eyes brimming with endless fury.

His lightning-based combat techniques, combined with close-quarters slaughter, inflicted massive damage on Nawa each time.

Even if he healed quickly, it consumed vast amounts of his indestructible matter.

Just three minutes later, Nawa realized in horror that the indestructible matter within his body was nearly depleted!

"No! I can't win—I must flee!"

The Mind-Control Beast God's psychic control ensured Nawa's absolute loyalty to the Tianming Sect.

But the Son's command and loyalty to the Tianming Sect were two different things.

At this moment, under the threat of death, he decisively abandoned his target and fled, leaving his two teammates behind.

But how could Xu Jingming let him succeed?

"It seems your indestructible matter is nearly gone—then die!"

Boom—!

Thunder roared as a massive black lightning sword suddenly coalesced in the sky and crashed down upon Nawa!

Crackling—!

Endless black lightning surged outward; Nawa felt his body, as hard as SSS-grade alloy, rapidly crumbling.

His cells collapsed; the remaining indestructible matter frantically repaired, but the rate of repair could not match the rate of destruction!

"No!!"

Amidst a final, furious cry of defiance, Nawa collapsed under the spreading lightning.

His body displayed an eerie scene: two-thirds had turned to charcoal.

One-third consisted of newly grown flesh and meridians.

【Ding, slain one Rank 9 S-Class Lower Divine Blood Envoy, Ability Points +200,000.】

A melodious system prompt echoed in his mind.

"200,000 Ability Points—this Rank 9 Divine Blood Envoy was truly exceptional."

Sizzle—

Black lightning flickered as Xu Jingming, spear in hand, charged toward Kent.
