#1026 - Attack! Xu Jingming's terrifying reaction!
"The void stones on this ninth floor of the Void Tower seem to be much more abundant than the previous two floors."
High in the sky, flying through the air, Su Qingli, whose body was surrounded by cyan jade-colored lightning, said softly.
"Indeed."
Xu Jingming nodded and said with a smile, "In a few more days, we should be able to collect three million void stones."
The distance between the location of the fierce beasts and here wasn't far.
Even if they could only fly slowly because of the Clematis vines, they could arrive in a few hours.
But he underestimated the richness of the void stones underground.
In these three days, they had only traveled four hundred kilometers.
They spent most of the remaining time collecting void stones.
Of course, the harvest was also extremely rich. So far, they had collected 2.72 million stones.
"It should be about right."
Su Qingli nodded with a light smile and was about to continue speaking.
Xu Jingming's whole body instantly broke out in goosebumps, as if an extremely terrifying threat was about to arrive!
The SS-level perception combat skill, Heart Web, was always activated, and a vast mental power permeated the surroundings.
Almost instantly, he sensed that about five kilometers ahead, an energy shockwave was shooting towards them!
And the target was Su Qingli beside him!
This energy shockwave was extremely fast, almost approaching the speed of light!
Five kilometers, relative to the speed of light, would only take a dozen microseconds to pass.
If it were before, even if Xu Jingming sensed this shockwave, he wouldn't have been able to react.
After all, biological signal conduction also takes time.
But his Body Tempering Technique had broken through to the tenth level, and his reaction speed was already different from ordinary ability users.
A few microseconds were enough for him to react!
"Chaos Divine Lightning!"
Time was too slow, Xu Jingming didn't have time to release any combat skills, he could only release his ability!
Rumble——
Within a kilometer around, it instantly turned into a black sea of thunder!
Poof——
That shockwave entered the range of the thunder sea, and its speed instantly dropped to one-thousandth of the speed of light.
This finally gave Xu Jingming a chance to breathe, and his ability and mental power quickly circulated.
A thick lightning barrier quickly condensed and enveloped him and Su Qingli.
Azure Thunder Shield!
A defensive SSS-level combat skill.
The moment the Azure Thunder Shield formed, the beam of light immediately bombarded it!
Whoosh——
The Azure Thunder Shield shook slightly, and a faint ripple appeared on the surface.
Its power didn't even decrease much, and it isolated the beam of light, preventing it from breaking through.
The laser gun beam was all about catching people off guard. Its power wasn't actually that strong, about the same as an S-level combat skill released by a peak A-level ninth-order mage.
With Xu Jingming's current strength, he could easily defend against it.
The entire process, from sensing the beam to deploying the defense, didn't even take 0.1 seconds!
This was the terrifying reaction speed he had after his Body Tempering Technique broke through to the tenth level.
"There are enemies!"
Su Qingli also reacted at this time, her willow eyebrows stood on end, and jade clear divine lightning surged out, surrounding her body.
"It's in the front right."
Xu Jingming's face was cold.
He directly activated Thunderstorm Mode and flew towards that side at high speed, with Su Qingli following closely behind.
"He actually blocked it?"
Taiichi Kojima, five kilometers away, almost popped his eyes out.
This was a laser gun!
The emitted high-energy beam reached the speed of light!
If it were a ninth-order peak, he could understand if they could react.
But Xu Jingming was only an eighth-order intermediate!
How could his reaction speed be so fast?
You must know, Su Qingli next to him didn't even notice anything at first!
"No, I have to escape quickly!"
Taiichi Kojima knew that now wasn't the time to be confused.
He quickly used his ability and ran away with all his strength.
Suddenly——
A sharp thunder sound rang out, and endless dark thunder gathered, forming a cage that sealed him inside.
He could feel that even a trace of lightning that splashed out from this lightning cage was enough to directly obliterate him...
"It's over!"
Taiichi Kojima's heart was ashen, and with a thud, he knelt weakly on the ground.
Whoosh——
Only a few seconds later, Xu Jingming and Su Qingli landed next to him not far from the ground.
"It's just a seventh-order grandmaster?"
Su Qingli's face showed a look of surprise, and Xu Jingming was also a little puzzled.
When did seventh-order grandmasters have an attack intensity that could threaten ninth-order ability users?
"Looks like he's from the Sakura Country."
"How do you know?"
"The Sakura Country people are naturally short, I can tell at a glance."
Xu Jingming smiled and walked towards Taiichi Kojima with steady steps.
Before he could even get close, Taiichi Kojima began to kowtow and beg for mercy:
"Master Xu! Please spare me!"
Thump thump thump......
The hard ground was actually making quite a sound from his kowtowing.
That Xia language with a Sakura Country accent made his origin clear at once.
"He's really from the Sakura Country?"
Su Qingli was a little surprised.
But after thinking carefully, most of the ability users in the Sakura Country were indeed as Xu Jingming described.
"Tell me, how did you do that attack just now?"
Xu Jingming looked down at him.
This Taiichi Kojima was too weak, forcing him to restrain his pressure a little.
Otherwise, the pressure naturally emitted in Thunderstorm Mode would be enough to make him stiff and unable to speak.
"If I tell you, will you spare my life?"
Taiichi Kojima asked cautiously.
"What do you think?" Xu Jingming's eyes were cold.
Taiichi Kojima's face suddenly changed when he heard this. After taking a deep breath, he said forcefully:
"Let me be clear, as long as I die, you will never be able to find this thing!
Unless you let me go, I will never tell you this secret even if I die!"
The laser gun was his last trump card.
As long as Xu Jingming needed him, then he would still have a chance!
"This is really troublesome." Xu Jingming frowned.
He didn't even have the patience to pretend to agree. His mental power surged out, forming a strange mark.
Whoosh——
The mark quickly disappeared into Taiichi Kojima's forehead.
Only an instant later, the originally tough Taiichi Kojima immediately became respectful:
"Master."
"What kind of method is this?"
Su Qingli's beautiful eyes widened, and a look of surprise appeared on her delicate melon-seed face.
"Heart-enslaving Seal, a simple mental manipulation combat skill."
Xu Jingming explained.
For ability users of the same level, the Heart-enslaving Seal might not be so easy to take effect.
But this person was only a seventh-order grandmaster, his mental power was not strong, and it was very easy to plant the Heart-enslaving Seal.
'A simple mental manipulation combat skill? Why can't I learn it?'
Su Qingli secretly complained in her heart.
She had also learned mental combat skills, but she could only learn B-level and A-level mental combat skills.
She couldn't learn higher-level ones.
But listening to Xu Jingming's tone, this combat skill seemed like something you could learn just by looking at it...
