Chapter 950

"A sensing sensation?"

The Sky Demon frowned, and his vast spiritual force surged outward.

The black Galka beside him also furrowed his brow, carefully sensing.

After a long while, the Sky Demon shook his head: "I didn't detect any other psychic's spiritual fluctuations around us."

"It's not necessarily spiritual force—it could be some other form of surveillance."

His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and with a loud pop, Li Hao crushed the communicator in his hand.

Releasing his right hand, debris mixed with lightning drifted down to the ground:

"The technology level of the Ember World far exceeds our imagination; communicators could also serve as their 'eyes.'

We can't contact Nawa and the others anymore, so this communicator is useless—better to destroy it outright for safety."

High-rank psychics all possess their own intuition.

Having inherited the 'Holy Lord's' bloodline, his perception is endowed with an extraordinary talent.

Once he senses something abnormal, it truly is abnormal.

The Sky Demon paused, then smiled and replied obediently:

"Indeed, the Divine Son is far more meticulous. What shall we do next?"

"Keep moving—we should reach the entrance to the next level soon," Li Hao said.

Compared to the opportunities of the unknown civilization, Xu Jingming is merely a secondary target.

If we encounter him, fine; if not, I won't waste time searching for him deliberately.

"His communicator was destroyed—the signal is cut off, we can't see his side anymore."

On the other side, Eva muttered helplessly, "This guy's perception is surprisingly sharp—he actually realized there was something wrong with the communicator."

Compared to spiritual surveillance, her electronic signals are far harder for psychics to detect.

"Is that really Li Hao? Why does he seem like a completely different person?" Su Qingli exclaimed in shock.

When Li Hao repeatedly came to Lei Ting Headquarters seeking Hearing Ling Shuang, she had always viewed him as a spoiled brat.

Yet now he's suddenly transformed into the Divine Son of the Tianming Sect!

And his strength seems to have changed drastically—he's even made the Sky Demon obey him.

"It really is Li Hao."

Xu Jingming's gaze flickered slightly. "It seems he's undergone considerable changes during this time."

Six months ago in April, when he knocked Li Hao flying in front of Lei Ting Dojo, Li Hao was merely Eighth Rank Low.

In half a year, he broke from Eighth Rank Low to Eighth Rank Peak—that's an absolutely terrifying rate of advancement.

If I thought nothing had happened to him, I wouldn't believe it.

After all, Li Hao doesn't have a system.

"Eva, can you keep monitoring him?" Xu Jingming turned to Eva.

"No, he only had this one communicator," Eva shook her head.

"If so, we'll have to take action ourselves.

With my current spiritual strength, I only need to enter within three kilometers of them.

Then I can sense all their movements..."

Xu Jingming mused.

"Is three kilometers too close?"

Su Qingli frowned slightly, worried: "Li Hao is strange—he only possesses an enhancement-type B-rank psychic ability, and his rank is only Eighth Rank Peak.

Logically, his perception shouldn't be stronger than the Ninth Rank Sky Demon's."

She paused, then added: "Jingming, maybe we shouldn't take the risk.

Li Hao may not even have the Blood Healing Holy Pill, and my strength has already recovered to Eighth Rank—it's enough."

"Don't worry—I have my own plan."

Xu Jingming grinned, and his spiritual force surged wildly.

It coalesced in a peculiar manner, completely enveloping him and Su Qingli.

"What is this...?" Su Qingli's eyes widened in surprise.

Beneath this layer of spiritual force, she felt her own aura had been entirely concealed.

"Spiritual SS-rank combat technique: 'Stealth Art.'"

Xu Jingming explained with a smile. "With this Stealth Art, they won't sense our presence—even if they do, we can flee instantly."

Saying this, his Thunder Dragon Wings flared slightly, and Xu Jingming, carrying Su Qingli, shot forward like a black lightning bolt.

In less than three minutes, Xu Jingming sensed a faint aura fluctuation ahead.

"Mind Net!"

Xu Jingming immediately activated his perception combat technique.

The previously blurred aura instantly sharpened—three kilometers ahead, Li Hao and the other two were flying at high speed.

"It really is Li Hao and the others!"

Su Qingli's eyes lit up as she received Xu Jingming's spiritual perception imagery.

"Looks like they haven't noticed us yet."

Xu Jingming nodded, musing: "Follow them for now. If we detect no other abnormalities, let Tie Xian Lian make the first move."

One A-rank Ninth Rank Mid Galka, one A-rank Ninth Rank Low Sky Demon.

These two are no threat—I and Tie Xian Lian can easily handle them.

The most suspicious point is Li Hao himself—I have a feeling his combat power isn't nearly as simple as Eighth Rank Peak.

Li Hao had not yet entered the ninth rank, but at the peak of the eighth rank, he could already fly.

His flight speed was no slower than the celestial demon beside him, and the three flew forward together.

Xu Jingming, like a patient hunter, trailed far behind them.

Along the way, the celestial demon and others encountered powerful ferocious beasts, but Li Hao made no move—each was dealt with by the celestial demon.

After trailing them for over three hours without seeing Li Hao act, Xu Jingming finally frowned and ordered:

"Xiao Lian, it's your turn. Test Li Hao's strength."

"Yes, my lord."

The battle armor covering Xu Jingming fell to the ground and transformed into a massive lotus flower.

Countless vines sprouted, like giant serpents burrowing into the earth, creeping toward Li Hao.

"Teacher, get down first."

As the Iron Lotus moved, Xu Jingming also did not stand idle—he landed on the ground and waited for Su Qingli to step down from behind him.

He immediately entered Thunderstorm State; around his towering, over-three-meter frame, wild SSS-class Chaotic Divine Thunder swirled.

Simultaneously, a pitch-black Radiant Thunder Ring, like the halo of death, slowly rotated behind him.

With Jialka and the celestial demon still with Li Hao, the Iron Lotus might not force Li Hao to reveal his true strength.

He would have to act in concert.

"Li Hao, no matter what happened during this time, you'd better have a Blood Recovery Holy Pill on you."

Xu Jingming's gaze flickered as he channeled his spiritual force, silently preparing a long-range spell technique.

Boom—!

Just over ten seconds later, the Iron Lotus had grown all the way to Li Hao's position.

Vines with diameters of dozens of meters erupted from the ground like a colossal dragon, striking at Li Hao and the two above!

"Watch out, Divine Son!"

The celestial demon and Jialka's expressions changed instantly as they lashed out at the green vines.

Yet at that moment, a crackling sound erupted—a massive black thunderous greatsword suddenly coalesced in the sky!

Heavenly Thunder Punishment Sword!

SSS-class Thunder Technique!

As the thunderous greatsword formed in the sky, a heavy pressure descended instantly.

Jialka and the celestial demon turned pale, but after a momentary stunned pause, Li Hao's face lit up with ecstatic joy:

"The Heavenly Thunder Punishment Sword of the Thunder Temple? Xu Jingming, I wasn't even looking for you, yet you dare come to me yourself!"
