Chapter 331

Faced with such a devastating blow, these charging aberrations still did not retreat.

The aberration tide fearlessly surged forward; even before the aberrations trapped in the front‑line thunder‑hell could struggle, they were trampled by the charging kin behind, stepping on charred corpses to keep advancing.

Thus, the aberration horde kept repeating this action, piling up a towering mountain of corpses and a sea of blood at the edge of the Thunder Pond.

Even aberrations skilled at leaping or possessing flight, if they try to pass through, will be forcibly dragged in by the magnetic effect generated by the powerful charge!

This Thunder Pond, transformed from a single shell, is like a heavenly moat, even more like a river teeming with man‑eating fish, grinding every creature that falls into it to chaff.

Amid the constantly rising lightning serpents and electric light, it gives one the feeling of being in a thunder‑hell that punishes sin and evil!

Even if these aberrations could cross the heavenly moat before them, a qilin patterned after heaven and earth blocks the way, leaving no chance to advance even an inch.

Only the semi‑transparent phantom beasts ignore the Thunder Pond's damage and continue drifting toward the city wall.

Meanwhile, Lu Jing's mental power river once again unfurled in the air, echoing the myriad‑ton thunder on the ground.

Compared with the Thunder Pond, the mental power river in the sky appears rather ordinary, but this does not mean its power is lacking—on the contrary…

The river in the sky is immeasurably deep, like a star‑filled abyss stretching thousands of meters.

The next second, crystal‑clear raindrops dripped from that abyss......

These raindrops differ from ordinary water; they are a baptism of the spirit, a cleansing of the soul.

They wash away filth and cleanse evil influences.

"Roar——"

When a raindrop struck the phantom beast's head, a white‑mist vapor rose instantly, and it let out a painful howl.

Soon, the phantom beasts that had painfully waded through the Thunder Pond were utterly dissolved in the churning white mist, leaving not a trace, vanishing between heaven and earth.

【Congratulations, host! You have slain a level‑7 phantom beast and obtained a Red Crystal Block*1!】

【Congratulations, host! You have slain a level‑7 aberration and obtained seven Colorless Crystal Blocks!】

【Congratulations, host! You have slain a level‑7 phantom beast and obtained a Red Crystal Block*1!】

Lines of small text kept appearing beneath the synthesis and enhancement slots.

Lu Jing's crystal block balance kept fluctuating.

"This wave of crystal blocks is just too satisfying......"

Lu Jing muttered to himself, a flicker of excitement flashing in his eyes.

His one‑man‑army feat, harvesting aberration lives like mowing grass, was witnessed by all, who felt their spirits lifted and stared wide‑eyed.

"Lieutenant Lu!"

"Invincible bearing!"

The soldiers on the wall shouted cheers; Lu Jing's prestige at this moment was unmatched, even surpassing Situjun by quite a bit......

"This guy, he's become so strong......"

This sight left Dong Ningxue feeling alarmed.

Lu Jing's Thunder‑Qilin dharma manifestation this time is exactly the same as what he displayed at the Martial Way tournament.

But that day on the stage, Lu Jing's Qilin manifestation merely made a brief appearance and hardly took any action.

Only today did the Qilin manifestation, with a single move, create a Thunder Pond like a hellish barrier.

Speaking of which, isn't this kid a Talent Endowed in the mental system? When did he awaken the lightning affinity?!

He didn't show any lightning talent back at the training camp......

As more and more aberrations were swallowed by the thunder‑hell like dumplings, the succeeding aberrations suddenly became clever.

They no longer charged straight ahead but chose to detour around.

Whoosh——

The next second.

The surging tide of aberrations split before the Thunder Pond, dividing into two flanks to launch a pincer attack!

The Thunder Pond is like a boulder in a stream, while the rushing aberration flood is the water split by that boulder.

But how could Lu Jing possibly let these aberrations pass?

This is a precious source of crystal stones......

Lu Jing curled the corner of his mouth into a cruel smile; raising his hand, the Qilin manifestation opened its giant claws and slammed toward one of the aberration torrents.

As for the aberrations on the other route, he held the Thousand‑Blade Demon Sword level and swept—

Boom——

An invisible blade‑aura swept across flatly.

The aberrations piled together on the battlefield were as if struck by a gigantic sickle; their upper bodies slid off in neat rows, flesh and blood flying.

The clamorous howls instantly diminished by about half.

Afterward, Lu Jing's figure ravaged the remaining aberration horde like a hurricane.

Behind him, the Qilin manifestation kept launching attacks, coordinating with the myriad Minyinfeijian swords circling above his head, and the number of aberrations on the field plummeted rapidly.

Blazing Blade Intent coiled around the Thousand‑Blade Demon Sword like a fire dragon coiling and surging.

Lu Jing was like a blazing sun; wherever his figure flashed, the aberrations there fell like snowflakes meeting intense heat, collapsing instantly.

"Exhale——"

Situjun also watched this scene from the command room, letting out a long breath.

"What is strategic‑level power? This is it—by one's own strength alone, one can alter the entire battlefield's course!"

One man as an army erupted with power comparable to a natural disaster.

The countless soldiers on the wall were now stunned to the point of gaping, goosebumps rising on their skin, overwhelmed with shock and horror.

"Hiss, with Lieutenant Lu here, it feels like we have nothing to do!"

"He's too strong! I heard Lieutenant Lu is only eighteen this year—is that real or fake?!"

Terrifying field-clearing ability—one swing and it's comparable to a full salvo of an energy cannon......

Speaking of which, ever since Major Lu joined our regiment, no one in the regiment has died—at most they just get injured......

That's right, ninety percent of the aberrations were killed by him alone; we just need to shout '666' on the city walls!

In their shock and horror, everyone was buzzing with discussion!

Dong Ningxue saw Lu Jing locked in fierce combat, and quickly issued the order, 'Everyone, prepare firepower—drive the aberrations roaming outside the defense line into Major Lu's Thunder Sea!'

Boom—

Boom—

Moments later, the roar of the energy cannon shook the heavens.

Originally already suffering greatly from the Qilin Dharma Aspect and the Thunder Sea Hell's erosion, the aberrations now had insult added to injury.

Under the bombardment, they kept fleeing, and without realizing it they re-entered the range of the Thunder Sea.

Ding—

Ding—

The pleasant prompt tone from the synthesis bar kept sounding.

This batch of crystals has been farmed to exhaustion.

Too many, the aberrations are simply too many.

As if endless......

Lu Jing felt as if he were in the middle of a sea, being violently battered by wave after wave.

He finally understood why the defensive line had been breached before his arrival—under such endless onslaught, how could a flesh‑and‑body possibly withstand it?

A rough scan showed the battlefield mainly consisted of sixth‑level aberrations, with seventh‑level ones far fewer, and a few eighth‑level ones scattered about.

Half an hour later, the Qilin Dharma Aspect dissipated in the air, and the Thunder Sea gradually shrank.

Lu Jing felt a hint of pressure.
