Chapter 982: Instant Kill of Ninth-Rank Mid-Level! Entire Arena Stunned!

When Xu Jingming was still exchanging items, the Leng Yuexi sisters arrived at the finish line in their fighter jet.

At this moment, the virtual exchange list in the sky had just updated, and surrounding voices erupted in waves of astonished envy.

"Tsk, so envious—how could he exchange for so many resources? If I were the one in that jet, it'd be perfect."

Zou Jie and others from Starfire Guild also voiced their astonishment.

At this moment, Leng Yuechan widened her eyes, tugged at her sister Leng Yuexi's flight suit, and transmitted a mental message:

"Sis, isn't that Xu Jingming's fighter jet? Could it really be him inside?"

"It must be him."

Leng Yuexi nodded, silently relieved, and transmitted a mental message:

"So he's the one numbered 344—rushing to the finish line to exchange resources. No wonder he didn't stop earlier."

"That's right."

Leng Yuechan also wore a delighted expression, whispering in awe: "I never expected him to be this strong! He has more Void Stones than even those top-tier ninth-rank experts!"

"Since our last parting, Jingming's strength must have improved further."

Leng Yuexi secretly rejoiced, then immediately felt concern.

Black Obsidian-class fighter jets are extremely rare; few in Great Xia possess them.

With the memory of high-rank psychics, anyone who had seen Xu Jingming's jet a few times should recognize it.

And right now, there were many Great Xia nationals among the crowd.

If someone recognized this jet, things would become troublesome!

Just as she thought this, a loud voice suddenly rang out from afar:

"I recognize it! It's Xu Jingming! This Black Obsidian-class jet is his personal aircraft! I saw it when he served as the Shanghai Inspector for Lei Ting Martial Hall!"

Damn it!

Leng Yuexi's heart lurched—someone had recognized him!

Simultaneously, the surrounding crowd erupted in chaos.

"Xu Jingming? The Aurora-level from Blue Planet? Could it really be him?"

"Very likely—after all, Black Obsidian-class jets aren't something just anyone can own."

"Tsk tsk, four resources—Xu Jingming's officially rich now!"

"......"

The crowd buzzed with murmurs.

Inside the cockpit, Xu Jingming, having heard the voice and learned that Li Ao was rushing toward them, also paled slightly.

Without the jet, they could never have reached the finish line this fast.

Using the jet carried the risk of exposure—but there was no other choice.

After all, Su Qingli's jet had been used far more frequently in Great Xia; using hers might have exposed them even sooner!

But he never expected someone to recognize him this quickly.

Still, exposure of identity was secondary—the real problem was Li Ao.

At ten kilometers away, the opponent would arrive in just over ten seconds.

"Jingming, our identities are exposed—what do we do next?" Su Qingli's gaze sharpened.

"Then we stop hiding—let's strike now!"

A grim, deadly aura surfaced on Xu Jingming's resolute face. "Eva, hack into Li Ao's jet—buy us some time!"

"Eva received!"

The green-haired, twin-tailed little girl Eva vanished in a streak of light.

Immediately, the entire jet was retracted into Xu Jingming's space ring, and the two figures appeared in the open air.

"It's Xu Jingming and his teacher Su Qingli! It really is them!"

"Tsk, no wonder he's Aurora-level—he's got over fifteen million Void Stones!"

"Envious—if only those Void Stones were mine."

"......"

A wave of stunned exclamations rose from below.

Catherine, Leng Yuexi, and the Leng sisters, who knew Xu Jingming, wore expressions of worry.

But most psychics were merely watching the spectacle, and some stronger ones had cold glints in their eyes, itching to act.

Yet before they could make any further move—

A deafening crack—thunder, thick as a water barrel, black as midnight, suddenly split from the sky!

It obliterated the Great Xia man who had just exposed Xu Jingming's identity into ash.

"I only want to take my resources. Don't make any other moves—or you'll be killed without mercy."

Crackling—

Wild Chaotic Divine Thunder swirled around Xu Jingming's body.

He had entered Thunderstorm Mode; behind him, his Thunder Dragon Wings fluttered faintly.

Though he made no other motion, a terrifying aura of slaughter swept toward them all!

Lower-ranked fifth- and sixth-rank psychics felt their hearts pound wildly, too terrified to meet Xu Jingming's gaze.

Higher-ranked seventh- and eighth-rank psychics were equally frozen, as if pinned by the gaze of a supreme expert!

Beside him, Su Qingli's curvaceous form was wreathed in swirling emerald thunder, her presence equally terrifying.

Under the pressure of their combined auras, the previously noisy scene instantly fell deathly silent.

"It's really that guy, Xu Jingming!"

In the crowd, Ryan's face was filled with rage, but he could do nothing about it.

Previously, in the secret realm, Xu Jingming's strength had already surpassed his.

Now that the other had grown stronger while he remained stagnant, he had even less means to stop him.

"Lord Hei Yu, please hurry and deliver the resources."

Xu Jingming, maintaining the operation of Chaos Divine Thunder, spoke.

"Don't worry, they're coming right away."

Lord Hei Yu still moved at a leisurely pace, as if determined to watch the show.

Xu Jingming frowned but said nothing.

Meanwhile, ten kilometers away, Eva effortlessly seized control of the Leo fighter jet.

But as soon as she flew the fighter jet in the opposite direction for one kilometer, Leo detected the anomaly.

"Damn artificial intelligence!"

With a cold snort, Leo immediately stored the fighter jet in his space ring.

His blood qi surged, like a meteor streaking toward the finish line.

When seven kilometers remained to the finish, he sensed the situation ahead through his spiritual force.

"Xu Jingming?! It's you! That No. 344!"

Leo instantly recognized Xu Jingming's identity.

Meanwhile, at the finish line, the space beside Lord Hei Yu split open like a curtain, and she withdrew several items.

Among them, a vial filled with crimson blood emitted, even from seven kilometers away, a lethal allure toward him!

"It's Supreme Divine Blood!"

Leo panicked, "Owen! Stop Xu Jingming! You shall gain the eternal friendship of my Lei Ding family!"

His deep voice rolled out like thunder.

Following it came an overwhelming, peak ninth-rank aura, as explosive as a volcanic eruption!

"It's Lord Leo! He's here?!"

"Look at his expression—he's determined to win!"

The crowd, which had just begun to quiet, erupted again, all turning to gaze at the middle-aged man standing in the sky.

Owen!

Ninth-rank Mid-level Martial Saint!

At this moment, Owen's expression shifted constantly.

He was a lone-wolf ability user with no faction of his own.

And the friendship of the Lei Ding family was undeniably a deadly temptation to him!

"Just holding him back for a few seconds shouldn't be a problem."

Owen gritted his teeth, activated his ability, and his ninth-rank mid-level aura exploded violently!

"Xu Jingming! Don't blame me! Blame yourself for possessing something that doesn't belong to you!"

Owen's blood qi surged, transforming into a raging crimson tide that crashed toward Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming had three ninth-rank combatants with him—he dared not close in.

As long as he delayed until Leo arrived, his mission would be complete!

But just then, the sky suddenly darkened.

Amidst a suffocating aura, black thunder gathered in the sky, coalescing into a colossal sword that crashed down upon Owen!

Crackling—

Thunder roared as boundless Chaos Divine Thunder erupted, completely engulfing Owen.

"No!!"

Amidst his screams, the thunder reduced his body to charred ash.

The rate of regeneration from his indestructible substance could not match the speed of destruction.

Before the stunned gaze of everyone present, Chaos Divine Thunder obliterated him in an instant.
