Chapter 951: Killing! The Aura of the Molten Fire Beast!

Heavenly Thunder Divine Punishment Sword!

A lightning-based SSS-rank combat technique created by Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall’s former head, Su Tianrui.

Several years ago, before Su Tianrui disappeared, he used this technique to kill a high-rank ninth-stage beast emperor!

Even now, related videos still circulate on the Blue Star internet, with view counts exceeding billions!

As a direct descendant of the Li family, Li Hao naturally recognized this technique.

Currently, only two people in Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall are qualified to master this technique.

One is Su Qingli; the other is Xu Jingming.

Su Qingli’s ability is an S-rank Jade Pure Divine Thunder—she could never achieve such power.

Therefore, Li Hao could conclude the caster was Xu Jingming!

The humiliation from that day—I’ll repay it all today! Unicorn Lizard!

Li Hao’s once handsome face twisted into a monstrous snarl, his eyes bulging slightly.

His body swelled rapidly to over four meters tall, resembling a standing lizard from afar!

Shhh!!

Li Hao slashed downward—gale-force winds surged, and crimson blood qi erupted skyward, slamming into the colossal thunderous sword above!

Boom-boom-boom~~~

A deafening collision rang out as the thunderous sword exploded.

Blood qi and lightning devoured each other; the terrifying shockwave radiated to the ground, shaking the entire earth!

“No wonder the Divine Son is so formidable!! Truly incredible!”

The black man Galka and the Tian Yao, who had just helped sever the iron-thread lotus vines, wore expressions of delight.

Especially the Tian Yao—her gaze toward Li Hao seemed to cling like silk threads.

She knew Li Hao was strong, but never imagined he’d be this powerful!

The power in that thunderous sword had filled her with mortal dread, yet Li Hao shattered it effortlessly.

“Is that all your SSS-rank lightning ability can do? Xu Jingming, prepare to die!”

Amid wild laughter, Li Hao stomped the ground and launched himself toward Xu Jingming at over three times the speed of sound!

On the other side, Xu Jingming frowned slightly upon hearing the sound.

Releasing the technique leaked his spiritual energy, so his concealment technique naturally failed—being discovered by Li Hao was expected.

What surprised him most was Li Hao’s ability—it was completely different from before!

He had destroyed Xu Jingming’s Heavenly Thunder Divine Punishment Sword outright.

“Li Hao’s condition is off—he’s not just a B-rank enhancement ability user. He’s at least S-rank, possibly SS-rank or higher!”

Su Qingli, standing gracefully beside him, spoke with grave seriousness.

Li Hao’s ability is a B-rank enhancement: “Unicorn Lizard.” If it were merely the base “Unicorn Lizard,” it could never achieve such power.

“Li Hao’s burst just now was incredibly strong—not weaker than that Greene before.”

“If he pushes further, he might even match your Chaos Divine Thunder’s explosive power!”

Eva whispered in shock, “Another entirely new ability—minimum SS-rank, possibly SS+!”

“SS+? This Li Hao has such fortune.”

Xu Jingming narrowed his eyes, watching Li Hao hurtle toward him—yet his stance remained utterly still:

“Teacher, move farther away.”

An eighth-stage SS+ ability user is no trivial threat.

Yet judging solely from Li Hao’s destruction of the Heavenly Thunder Divine Punishment Sword, his power is nearly equal to mine.

“Alright, be careful yourself,” Su Qingli understood clearly.

With her eighth-stage power, she could contribute nothing in battle—she’d only be a liability—so she didn’t refuse.

“Don’t worry—I’ve got space beast bone. If I can’t win, I can always run.”

Xu Jingming grinned, revealing a row of sharp, gleaming fangs.

Seeing this, Su Qingli relaxed slightly, activated a flight combat technique, and shot away rapidly in another direction.

“Su Qingli! You’re here too—don’t worry, you won’t escape either.”

Li Hao smirked, a lewd grin curling his lips.

But his gaze quickly shifted from Su Qingli’s slender figure, his narrow eyes locking back onto Xu Jingming:

“But first, I’ll eliminate your beloved disciple.”

Shhh—

The distance of several kilometers vanished in an instant; Li Hao, wrapped in crimson blood qi, stood before Xu Jingming.

He drew his blade—and slashed horizontally!

Xu Jingming, wreathed in pitch-black lightning, showed no change in expression—his eyes glowed with endless coldness and bloodlust.

A three-meter-long SSS-rank spear swept like a dragon!

Clang!!

Blade met spear; crimson blood qi and black lightning devoured each other.

A tremendous force traveled up the spear shaft, making Xu Jingming’s grip ache slightly.

“Hmm?” Xu Jingming frowned.

Since his ability evolved to SSS-rank, his body cultivation had also surged to an extremely formidable level.

After activating Thunderstorm Mode, no ability user within the same major stage could match his physical strength!

Yet now, he felt pressure—something he hadn’t felt in a long time.

“How’s that? Xu Jingming, didn’t expect this, did you?

I, once regarded by you as a mere ant, have reached this day!”

Seeing Xu Jingming’s surprise, Li Hao burst into a triumphant, wild laugh.

Xu Jingming said nothing—only kept thrusting his spear.

“Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!”...

Spear and blade clashed repeatedly, echoing with thunderous force.

The blood qi swirling around the blade surged like a crimson tide, charging forward with unstoppable momentum.

The spear was wrapped in blinding black lightning—each thrust carried the weight of divine punishment!

Rings of energy radiated outward from the collision point, carving deep cracks into the ground below, spreading like spiderwebs.

Li Hao had begun with a smug grin, but gradually lost it—his emotions spiraled into fury.

Because he felt Xu Jingming was like an unmovable mountain—no matter how hard he struck, he couldn’t harm him.

Even his right arm ached fiercely from the relentless impacts!

“An ant is still an ant. Even if it gains power beyond its worth, it cannot become a dragon.”

Xu Jingming’s expression was icy.

Li Hao’s physique was strong—true—but it only brought him slight pressure.

After all, his spear technique had reached perfection.

Li Hao’s sword technique hadn’t even reached Master level.

If not for his formidable physique, Li Hao would already be impaled by a single spear thrust.

Arrogance. Coldness.

Li Hao saw this expression on Xu Jingming again.

Just like half a year ago, when Xu Jingming kicked him away in front of Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall.

“No! I won’t let that scene repeat!

Ling Shuang is mine! Su Qingli is mine too!

Xu Jingming! I’ll kill you! Divine Blood Secret Technique!!”

Li Hao’s eyes turned blood-red; his humanoid lizard form swelled again!

Puch—

A pair of grotesque fleshy wings tore through his back, bursting forth.

His crimson eyes burned crimson red; a scorching heat surged toward Xu Jingming.

Boom!!

Endless crimson flames danced across Li Hao’s body—then a pillar of fire erupted skyward, piercing the heavens!!

“This… is the aura of the Molten Fire Beast!”

Hovering midair, observing the battle, Eva turned pale and screamed.
