Chapter 2008
Five milky-white energy shields, like five giant cocoons of light.
It floats silently on the edge of the swamp, which is filled with the stench of decay.
Inside the shield, the five members of the Godslayer Martial Hall were frozen in place, their faces filled with astonishment and confusion.
A slender woman wielding a dagger, codenamed 'Shadowblade'.
At this moment, her rosy lips parted slightly, and her beautiful eyes widened.
Looking at the tall figure standing quietly not far away, and the chilling dark golden lightning arcs around the other party that had not yet completely dissipated.
"This guy isn't a fake..."
Her beautiful voice carried a dreamlike, dazed quality.
"This speed and power... this is a sixth-tier Star Realm cultivator? Are you kidding me?!"
Squad leader Pan Shi wanted to curse even more.
He was certain that even a Star Rank 8 expert from their God-Slaying Martial Hall couldn't unleash such a killing move!
This question also echoed in the minds of the other four people.
Who are they? They are the elites of the Godslayer Martial Hall!
He's a practical fighter who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
With the five of them working together, they were enough to surround and kill a Star-level seventh-tier Spirit Blood Demon Beast!
But in front of this academy, which seems to only have the sixth level of the Star Realm.
He couldn't even withstand a single move, and was even...instantly killed!
This absolute dominance in strength brings more than just a sense of defeat.
It is also a shock that completely overturns our understanding.
What kind of counterfeit goods are these, built on a mountain of resources? What kind of hothouse flowers are they?
Faced with this terrifying lightning bolt, these stereotypes seem so ridiculous and pale!
"too strong!"
Shadowblade finally recovered slightly from the initial shock.
His face was no longer tinged with the previous flippancy and mockery, only filled with fervor:
"S-2748671, this is my virtual universe account."
Remember to add me after the competition! There's a surprise waiting for you~
As she spoke, she blew Xu Jingming a kiss.
This is the modus operandi of the Godslayer Martial Hall.
They disdain the weak.
They held the strong in the highest esteem.
Xu Jingming, the demonic clone, stood there quietly.
There was no response to the group's shock or even the invitation from the beautiful woman.
He didn't even glance at the group, as if he had just casually brushed away a few insignificant specks of dust.
His gaze, however, turned to the distant jungle and sky.
Because the commotion here has inevitably spread.
"Hmm? There's a strong energy fluctuation over there! The first aid badges have been activated! And there's more than one!"
"What's going on? That direction seems to be the Rock Squad, right? Are they in trouble?"
"Let's go! Go over and take a look!"
"..."
In the surrounding area, five-person squads from the Godslayer Martial Hall are hunting or searching.
Almost simultaneously, they detected an unusual energy burst coming from the direction of the swamp.
The Rock Squad is quite strong; even if they can't win, they can escape.
In the early stages of the monster-hunting competition, it was extremely rare for multiple team members to be eliminated at the same time.
This immediately aroused their high alert.
Swish! Swish! Swish! ...
One after another, figures rose into the air from the dense forest, cliffs, and valleys.
Or they may speed across the ground, converging on the swampy area.
They moved swiftly, and there seemed to be some tacit understanding between them, subtly forming an encirclement.
The first to arrive were the four closest teams, totaling twenty people.
When they saw the five cocoons of light on the ground, and the ashen-faced members of the Rock Squad inside, they were all taken aback.
Then they saw Xu Jingming still standing there.
"Someone from the Eternal Alliance? Just one person?"
"What a courage!"
"He did it? He single-handedly wiped out Rock and the other four? How is that possible?!"
"Whether it's possible or not, let's take them down first! Anyone who dares to touch our Martial Hall will pay the price!"
"..."
Powerful auras rose up, and various colors of laws flashed.
Swords were drawn, bows and crossbows were nocked, and the cold glint of various weapons locked onto Xu Jingming in the center of the arena.
"Great! Our people have arrived!"
Captain Rock's eyes lit up.
"Highest Star Rank 7, lowest Star Rank 4, and you think you can take me down with this kind of setup?"
Xu Jingming glanced at them, but those purple eyes were eerily calm:
"Since we're all here, let's... take care of it all at once."
The moment the words fell—
boom! ! !
His body suddenly began to swell, and demonic horns grew from his head.
A surge of purplish-gold demonic energy, far more violent and profound than before, erupted from the demonic energy clone like a volcanic eruption!
The demonic energy surged, faintly coalescing into a hideous demonic shadow.
A domineering, ferocious, and terrifying pressure, seemingly capable of devouring all life, swept out!
At the same time, the dark golden lightning of annihilation was no longer concealed.
Instead, it transformed into countless wildly dancing electric snakes, coiling around the demonic clone.
It emitted a crackling sound, ionizing the air and giving off a burnt smell.
Lightning and demonic energy are two completely different yet equally terrifying auras.
They blended together perfectly, creating a sense of oppression that sent chills down your spine.
Purple Nightmare Demon Body!
It is activated by the demonic energy clone, making the demonic energy even purer and more domineering!
"Is this the bloodline of the demon race?"
"What an amazing aura!"
"Do it quickly!"
"..."
The members of the Godslayer Martial Hall are all seasoned veterans.
He instantly sensed the deadly threat and didn't hesitate at all.
Various attacks poured out like a torrential rain!
Fireballs, wind blades, rock spikes, ice cones, and warriors wielding battle knives and longswords rushed towards Xu Jingming!
However, faced with this intense offensive...
Xu Jingming not only did not dodge, but instead took a step forward!
crackling-
Suddenly, a layer of dense, almost tangible dark golden lightning appeared on the surface of the demonic energy clone!
This lightning shield is not a simple energy shield, but is woven from countless tiny lightning runes.
It clings tightly to the skin, subtly resonating with the flesh and bones, exuding a sense of indestructible solidity!
This is precisely the protective lightning aura that comes with the "Star Core Thunder Body".
At this moment, it is being used by a demonic clone. Although it is not as perfect as the original body, its defensive power is still astonishing!
Bang bang bang bang bang-! ! !
Countless attacks struck the dark golden lightning, unleashing a deafening roar.
That layer of lightning energy was like an ancient mountain.
It blocked all attacks without even causing a ripple!
The demonic clone remained motionless amidst the exploding flames, with only the tips of its hair fluttering slightly in the turbulent flow of law energy.
"what?!"
"Our attack... was ineffective?!"
"What kind of defensive combat technique is that?!"
"..."
There were exclamations.
However, what terrified them even more was yet to come.
The demonic clone that blocked the first wave of attacks has moved!
There was no use of long-range lightning strikes, nor was a large-scale lightning array deployed.
Thus, with the dual physical enhancements granted to him by the Star Core Thunder Body and the Purple Nightmare Demon Body, he was able to...
It transformed into a purple-gold humanoid beast and crashed directly into the nearest Godslayer Martial Hall squad!
Immediately afterwards, Shadowblade and the others witnessed a shocking scene.
Melee!
A pure, savage, and overwhelming close-quarters combat!
