Chapter 337 Lei Qing Makes His Move! Instant Kill!

Jiang Yun and the other four descended from the sky.

Bathed in the lingering lightning and swirling dust.

Like divine soldiers descending from the heavens.

Captain Wang and his few remaining team members.

Looking at the One-Horned Savage Ape lying dead before them, its head exploded and body charred, then looking at these young but Aura-imposing faces, they stood dazed for a full three breaths.

Immediately.

The ecstasy of surviving a disaster was like a flood breaking a dam.

Crushing their nerves that were on the verge of collapse!

"Saved... we're saved!"

"It's Sky Dome Academy! The reinforcements from Sky Dome Academy have arrived!"

"We survived! We didn't die!"

"The town is saved too!"

Several team members wept with joy.

Captain Wang also let out a heavy sigh of relief.

His legs went soft.

He could barely stand.

He relied entirely on the equally scarred Rock-Armored Rhino beside him to support his body.

However.

When the tide of ecstasy receded slightly.

A new, subtle unease and doubt.

Quietly crept into their hearts.

These people before them... were simply too young.

Especially the leading youth with a handsome face and calm temperament.

He looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Although the others were older.

They were only in their early twenties.

Can these people... really deal with this terrifying Vicious Beast disaster in Ash Town?

Although that One-Horned Savage Ape was killed in one hit just now, deeper in the town, there were even more terrifying existences entrenched!

"Can these students... really do it?"

A team member swallowed hard.

Muttering in a low voice.

His doubt was not without reason.

Common students at this age.

Most were still struggling at the Silver Rank.

Even some Prodigies were only at the early or High-tier Gold Rank.

The Vicious Beasts around them, deterred by Lei Qing's strike and temporarily not daring to act rashly, were genuine Gold Rank!

After a brief silence.

The Vicious Beast pack began to grow restless.

"Roar...!"

"Awoo!"

Low growls came from all directions.

Those Vicious Beasts not affected by the lightning.

Recovered from their initial shock.

Gradually showing the rage of being provoked.

Their crimson beast pupils stared fixedly at the humans who had intruded into their territory, fangs bared, saliva dripping, limbs tensed, slowly forming a new encirclement.

"Hmph, a bunch of animals."

Lei Qing moved his neck.

Making a crisp cracking sound.

There was no fear on his face.

Instead, he was eager to try.

"Sacred Student, everyone, these few small fry, I can handle them alone, just consider it a warm-up!"

Before his voice fell.

Without waiting for a response.

He had already stepped forward.

"Come out! Thunder Beast!"

Boom!!!

With Lei Qing's loud shout.

A bolt of purple-green lightning, far thicker and more violent than before, tore through the firmament without warning and struck the ground directly in front of Lei Qing!

The lightning exploded, and rubble flew.

The blazing lightning danced like ten thousand silver snakes.

Stinging the eyes so much they could barely be opened!

When the lightning subsided slightly.

A massive figure.

Already stood before Lei Qing.

Bathed in the lingering lightning.

Like a thunder god descending to earth!

It was actually a giant beast!

Its body length exceeded ten meters, and its shoulder height was nearly eight meters.

Shaped like a Thunder Beast from ancient mythology.

Its body was like a lion, with knotted muscles.

Covered in fine, satin-like purple-green scales.

Each scale's edge flowed with jumping electric arcs.

Its four legs were thick, and its claws were like refined steel.

With every step.

A charred mark would be left on the ground.

A long tail like a lightning whip.

The end was forked, and with a gentle flick, it produced a crackling explosion.

The most shocking part.

Was its head.

It was not the appearance of an ordinary lion or tiger.

But more like a Legendary Dragon descendant!

A spiral dark-gold single horn grew on its forehead.

A point of deep purple lightning condensed at the tip of the horn.

Like a contained starlight.

Its eyes were not beast pupils.

But vertical golden lightning pupils.

Majestic, domineering, and as it looked around.

It was as if lightning was being born and extinguished in the depths of its eyes!

It just stood there, without any movement, and its whole body naturally emitted a pressure like substance... that was not simply a Realm suppression.

But something from the depths of its Bloodline, a certain nobility and pride originating from the Primordial Thunder God!

Thunder Beast!

The offspring of the Legendary Kui Ox and a top-tier lightning-attribute Dragon descendant, possessing the Innate divine authority to control lightning!

"Hiss!!! What... what kind of beast is this?!"

A guard member sucked in a breath of cold air.

His legs were trembling.

"Such terrifying pressure! It... just by standing there, my beast was scared into lying down!"

Captain Wang's Rock-Armored Rhino.

Even more directly, its four legs went soft.

Burying its head between its hooves.

Making a submissive whimper.

The Thunder Beast's golden lightning pupils indifferently swept over the surrounding Gold Rank Vicious Beasts that had been so arrogant before.

With just one look.

"Whine... whine..."

That Gold Rank Seventh Order Bone-Piercing Shadow Leopard let out a terrified whimper like a puppy, tucked its tail, and slowly retreated.

Other Gold Rank Six Iron-Armored Savage Apes.

Trembled all over.

The prestige of beating their chests just now vanished without a trace.

Like prey targeted by a natural enemy.

Their Battle Intent collapsed instantly!

They scattered and fled!

However.

Lei Qing clearly had no intention of giving them a chance to escape.

"Thunder Beast, show them!"

Lei Qing grinned.

His voice was like a great bell.

"What true lightning is!"

"Moo!!!"

The Thunder Beast looked up to the sky and let out a low, vigorous roar like the beating of ancient war drums! That sound was not an ordinary beast roar; it actually contained the faint echo of thunderous booms, making the air tremble!

The next moment.

The dark-gold single horn on its forehead suddenly lit up.

Extremely blazing purple-green lightning gushed out from the tip of the horn.

Shooting straight into the clouds!

The sky instantly darkened!

It wasn't dark clouds.

But because the lightning was too bright!

It masked the light of the sky!

Countless bolts of lightning as thick as bowls.

Like spears of divine punishment.

Centered on the Thunder Beast.

It poured down wildly in a fan shape in all directions.！

Boom!!!

Boom boom boom!!!

Boom boom boom boom!!!

Lightning fell like a waterfall!

Thunder sounded like drums!

Those Vicious Beasts that had just turned to flee a few steps didn't even have time to scream before being completely swallowed by the violent sea of lightning!

Hard beast hides, sharp claws and teeth, and strong bodies were as fragile as paper under the glorious heavenly thunder!

The lightning dissipated.

The ground was charred black.

Leaving several deep pits emitting green smoke.

Those seven or eight Gold Rank Vicious Beasts, along with the street block they were just standing on, had completely turned to ash.

The Thunder Beast stood proudly in the center of the scorched earth.

The lightning around its body slowly receded.

Its golden lightning pupils remained indifferent.

As if it had just crushed a few ants.

Lei Qing withdrew his beast.

Clapped his hands.

Like he had completed a trivial matter.

Turned to Captain Wang and the others with a grin.

Showing his snow-white teeth.

"Everyone, you're not hurt, are you?"

Silence!!!

Dead silence!!!

Captain Wang and his few remaining team members.

Their mouths hung open, and their eyes were wide.

Looking at this young man who claimed to be warming up, and that Thunder Beast that had disappeared but seemed to still leave a terrifying pressure, their brains went blank.

One... one hit... just one hit!

They were all wiped out!!!

That was a group of Gold Rank Vicious Beasts!

Among them, there were no lack of fifth or sixth order existences!

Even Captain Wang, who was at Peak Gold Rank 9.

Could at most deal with two at the same time with all his strength!

And this young man...!

From beginning to end... his beast only used one move!

What kind of strength was this?!

And this was only a warm-up?!

The guard members' gazes toward Lei Qing.

Had turned from gratitude to awe... and even carried a bit of the fanaticism of looking up at a deity!

"Too... too strong!"

A young team member stammered.

His voice was trembling.

"Is... is this the strength of a Sky Dome Academy Prodigy?! We're saved! We're really saved!"

"It's not a dream! It's not a dream!"

Everyone was extremely shocked.

Liu Qingshuang and the others, however, were extremely calm; it was not surprising.

After all, any one of them could easily kill these Vicious Beasts instantly.

Jiang Yun, on the other hand, was slightly surprised in his heart.

He had just used his Innate Talent Skill to check Lei Qing's beast.

A Peak Gold Rank 9 Advance.

Falling Star Rank Aptitude.

It could undergo one evolution.

After evolution, it could even reach Eclipsing Moon Rank Aptitude.

It even seemed to have some kind of pseudo-Bloodline of an Ancient Thunder Dragon.

Sure enough, guys who could be ranked in the top three of the earth ranking.

Their strength was not simple... On the other side.

Captain Wang swallowed hard.

Clearly, he was also shocked by the terrifying combat power of Lei Qing's beast!

"Thank you... thank you, Young Master, for saving us! May I ask for your honorable name?"

Lei Qing laughed loudly and waved his hand.

"What Young Master? My name is Lei Qing, a Common student of Sky Dome Academy. I'm not the strongest; our leader is over there!"

As he spoke.

He gestured with his chin toward Jiang Yun's direction.

Leader?

Captain Wang and the others followed Lei Qing's gaze, which landed on the youth who had been standing in the center of the team, with the youngest face and the calmest temperament.

He is their... leader?

Just now, everyone.

Including Captain Wang.

Had their attention completely drawn by Lei Qing's earth-shattering blow, subconsciously assuming that this burly young man who initiated the battle and struck first was the leader of this reinforcement team.

But now.

This young man with unimaginably terrifying strength.

Actually said that the youth who looked only sixteen or seventeen... was his leader?

Captain Wang sized up Jiang Yun in disbelief.

He really couldn't see anything special about this youth.

He didn't have Lei Qing's wild Aura.

He didn't have Liu Qingshuang's cold sharp edge.

He didn't have Xiao Chen's steady presence like a deep pool or a high mountain.

He just stood there quietly.

Even somewhat... ordinary?

But the more it was like this.

The more shocked Captain Wang was in his heart.

To make a powerhouse like Lei Qing willingly call him leader, what kind of unfathomable strength must this youth have?

And what kind of esteemed status must he have?

He was just about to ask.

Lei Qing's loud voice had already taken the initiative to reveal the news.

"Our leader is not just a leader, but also the Heavenly Saint Student of our Sky Dome Academy!"

"Heavenly Saint Student?!"

Upon hearing this, Captain Wang and the others.

All sucked in a breath of cold air.

Although they were only a guard team in a remote town with limited knowledge, the word 'Saint' represented supreme honor anywhere.

Heavenly Saint Student!!!

That must be the most top-tier and most valued existence in the academy!

No wonder he could serve as the leader at such a young age.

No wonder a powerhouse like Lei Qing was willing to follow his orders!

Almost without thinking.

They all bowed, their voices respectful and devout.

"Greetings, Heavenly Saint Student! Thank you, Tianqiong Prodigies, for saving our lives!"

Jiang Yun: "..."

He glanced at Lei Qing somewhat helplessly.

Sighing inwardly.

This guy... his mouth is too fast.

Isn't this just looking for trouble for him?

He didn't like being high-profile in the first place.

Much less did he want to attract extra attention and trouble because of his status in this kind of mission setting.

But Lei Qing had already said it.

It wasn't good for him to refute it in public.

He could only nod slightly.

His tone was peaceful but carried an unquestionable shift of the topic.

"Status is not important. We have come to resolve the Vicious Beast disaster in Ash Town and save the people from danger. There is no need for such formalities."

He paused.

His gaze looked directly at Captain Wang.

Getting straight to the point.

"Now, I need to understand the most real and detailed situation in the town. Total number of Vicious Beasts? Highest combat power? How many residents are still stranded? Where are the defensive weak points? Please inform me truthfully."

His voice was not loud.

But it had a strange calming power.

Instantly pulling everyone back to reality from their feverish gratitude.

Captain Wang's heart shivered.

He immediately composed himself.

In his gaze toward Jiang Yun, besides awe.

There was a bit more admiration.

Young, in a high position, yet not arrogant or impetuous, focusing on the core of the mission at the first opportunity—this is a person who truly does great things!

He took a deep breath.

Quickly organized his words.

And began to report.

"Reporting to the Heavenly Saint Student, the current situation in the town... is not optimistic!"

"The Vicious Beast invasion began three days ago. At first, it was just sporadic attacks, which we could handle. But last night, the beast tide suddenly broke out on a large scale! According to incomplete statistics, the number of Vicious Beasts currently entrenched in the town is at least over thirty! And most of them are Gold Rank!"

He pointed toward the charred South Street direction.

His tone was sorrowful.

"South Street... has completely fallen. Our defensive line here was broken, and of the ten brothers guarding it, only the five of us survived. All surviving townspeople have been urgently evacuated to the shelter on North Street and the basement of the Town Hall."

"The situation on East Street and West Street is slightly better, but also not optimistic. The defenders can only barely rely on fortifications to defend and dare not take the initiative to attack. The most troublesome thing is..."

Captain Wang lowered his voice even further.

Carrying a hint of unmaskable fear.

"In the town center area, which is the original square and administrative hall area, at least three High-tier Gold Rank Vicious Beasts are entrenched!"

"Among them is a Gold Rank 9 Flame Prison Lizard King, a Peak Gold Rank 9 Profound Ice Python, and even one whose Realm has reached the Amethyst Rank First Order... The Town Mayor and the General Captain should be there confronting the three Vicious Beasts right now, but..."

Captain Wang suddenly paused.

Before continuing.

"In the ruins on the edge of South Street near the Bone Burial Area, there seems to be one lurking... it hasn't appeared, and we can't detect its specific Realm. Just by sensing its Aura from afar, my beast completely lost control. That's at least... Amethyst Rank middle-tier! It might even be a High-tier Amethyst Rank Vicious Beast!"

Amethyst Rank middle-tier?

Even High-tier?!

Once these words were spoken.

Even Liu Qingshuang, who had always been indifferent.

Frowned slightly.

Xiao Chen's gaze was also solemn.

The smile on Lei Qing's face also receded a bit.

Replaced by a complex expression of eagerness mixed with gravity.

Their combat power was formidable.

Each person's actual combat power far exceeded the early Amethyst Rank and could even fight against a middle-tier Amethyst Rank.

But a High-tier Amethyst Rank... represented danger for them as well.

A faint, indistinct cold smile curled at the corner of Zhao Zhao's mouth.

No one knew what he was thinking.

Jiang Yun's face remained calm.

No matter what Realm of strength the opponent was at.

As long as they hadn't reached the Eclipsing Moon Rank.

They posed no threat to him.

His gaze.

Passed over the ruined South Street.

Looking toward that distant area in the north of the town, shrouded in the shadows of grey mist, where the outlines of giant beasts were faintly visible.

His Brick Stone Rank Divine Sense quietly spread out.

He once again captured that... subtle Aura that felt familiar, yet he couldn't recall the source of.

What exactly is it... Jiang Yun's thoughts raced.

But he remained outwardly impassive.

He nodded to Captain Wang.

"Understood. The situation is more complicated than expected. But since we are here, we will solve it step by step."

He paused.

His voice was steady and powerful.

"Let's start by clearing the Vicious Beasts within the town!"
