Chapter 36: The Fall of Lei Ming!

Wang Xu gazed coldly, withdrawing the Blood Bone Giant Saber, and cast a chilling glance towards Iron Palm and Black Bear.

The scene fell silent for a moment, Iron Palm and Black Bear stood dazed, their eyes filled with disbelief as they looked at Wang Xu.

What just happened?

The information their brains received was worlds apart from what they felt inside, leaving them momentarily unable to react.

Jin Tun, Ghost Calculations, and the barely breathing Blue Sword all gaped as if they'd seen the most unbelievable thing in the world.

Everyone was astonished by Wang Xu, yet Wang Xu himself was also experiencing inner turmoil.

The blade that turned everything around and sliced towards Lei Beng was precisely the one Wang Xu had been training for only two days of "Sword Romance."

Wang Xu had not fully mastered "Sword Romance," not even grasping the first realm, only barely recognizing an outline.

With Lei Beng's relentless advance, and the battle group's members facing disaster, Wang Xu decided to risk everything.

At the moment of drawing the blade, Wang Xu mixed all his insights into "Sword Romance" into this strike, whether clear or vague, whether chaotic or meticulous, all of it fused into this blade!

Wang Xu was gambling, gambling on his understanding of "Sword Romance." If he gambled wrong, all his flaws would be exposed to Lei Beng, and he would undoubtedly die. But now...

He gambled right!

At the moment of drawing the blade, Wang Xu suddenly understood, all his insights helped him open the door to "Sword Romance," and he comprehended its first realm—

Sword Thunder Shadow!

This blade had no elements, no thunderous sound, no intimidating aura, but only one thing—speed!

Unparalleled speed!

So fast that even the air couldn't react.

Lei Beng was struck, sent flying through the air, spewing blood, severely wounded, and finally Wang Xu followed up, ending Lei Beng's life with a decisive strike.

Poor Lei Beng, who had fought to earn a prestigious reputation, became a Tier Seven Master Level strongman, enjoying wealth and glory, fell at the hands of a Tier Five student.

...

"Bo... Boss is dead!" Black Bear exclaimed in horror.

Iron Palm remained silent, his gaze towards Wang Xu carried a hint of fear, and his hands trembled slightly.

What kind of monster is this, being able to kill a Tier Seven Lei Beng!

"Retreat! Quickly!" Iron Palm immediately retreated, shouting as he did.

Black Bear dared not delay at all. His boss was Tier Seven! Truly Tier Seven! Even if Black Bear and Iron Palm teamed up, they would definitely not be a match for the boss. If Wang Xu could kill Lei Beng, they completely lost any will to fight.

"Think you can leave?" Wang Xu's gaze was icy.

Whoosh!

Iron Palm and Black Bear split up, fleeing in two directions.

Suddenly, a shadow closely followed, and Iron Palm just took a glance, his courage failing him, and he cried out within.

Why? Why chase me!

"I surrender! Don't kill me! I didn't kill your battle group members, it was all Black Bear, it has nothing to do with me!" Iron Palm shouted for mercy.

If anyone were to hear a Tier Six student being chased by a Tier Five student, begging for his life aloud, they would surely think he was mad.

But Iron Palm knew, Wang Xu's speed was too fast, if he didn't plead for mercy, he would really die!

"Is that so? I don't think so." Wang Xu said coldly, he hadn't forgotten the two large red palm prints on Red Eye's body.

"Puff!" Wang Xu caught up to Iron Palm and slashed horizontally, instantly severing Iron Palm's ankle with a force of twenty thousand kilograms!

Iron Palm's body crashed to the ground, rolling tens of meters due to inertia before finally stopping.

Iron Palm, trembling, eyes filled with terror, repeatedly pleaded, "Please, spare me, I can give you all my possessions... please, don't kill me!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Wang Xu didn't waste words with him, his hand rose and the blade fell, Iron Palm's two arms flew off, blood gushing.

Wang Xu grabbed the painfully wailing Iron Palm and took him back.

...

"Hahaha, he didn't chase me! Damn bastard, once I get back and join a stronger battle group, I'll make him pay!" Black Bear's face lit up with joy, his bulky body sprinting quickly, akin to a car.

Yet as soon as he turned his head, a shadow suddenly appeared, Black Bear's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but curse, "Screw you! Damn it! Why chase?!"

Black Bear was about to cry, as a Tier Six student, when had he ever been so aggrieved? Even against battle groups ranked higher than them, he wasn't afraid, but now being forced into a corner by a Tier Five guy, without even a bit of resistance.

Thinking of this, Black Bear simply stopped, his muscles swelling all over, his whole person entering a berserk state like a one-horned bull insect, bloodlust and aura surging.

Black Bear turned and lunged at Wang Xu, his two thick arms, veins bulging, embraced forward.

Wang Xu tapped the ground with his toes, shifting sideways, as the furious Black Bear smashed two large trees and rushed at Wang Xu again.

Wang Xu's gaze turned cold, and the Blood Bone Giant Saber in his hand slashed forward!

"Puff!" With almost no resistance, Wang Xu's strike sliced through Black Bear's chest, deep enough to see the bone, the horrific saber wound even faintly revealing the heart beating inside.

Black Bear seemed oblivious to this, feeling no pain at all, lunging again.

Wang Xu understood that the Ancient Martial Arts practiced by the Black Bear could temporarily make him lose the sense of pain.

Since that was the case, Wang Xu no longer held back.

Ninth Column, Nine Transition Thunder Saber!

In an instant, the Blood Bone Giant Saber transformed into nine blades, directly slicing off one of Black Bear's thick arms.

"Ah! Damn! Damn it! Crap!" Black Bear shouted in agony, while his body began to shrink. Once the blood loss became too severe, he simply couldn't maintain this life-consuming state.

Wang Xu put away the Blood Bone Giant Saber, walked forward, and punched towards Black Bear's thigh!

The force of over ten thousand kilograms was like a bomb, breaking Black Bear's thigh and shattering the bones into powder.

Bam!

Before Black Bear could roll on the ground, Wang Xu punched again, directly crippling Black Bear's other leg.

"You bastard... No, you're a good person, you're the most powerful person, let me go, I know I'm wrong!" Black Bear was tormented to the brink of death by the pain, never before having suffered such immense torture, it rendered him unable to even curse aloud.

Without saying a word, Wang Xu lifted his heavy body and walked back.

...

Iron Palm and Black Bear were thrown to the ground by Wang Xu, incapable of saying anything other than begging for mercy and wailing.

Jin Tun looked at the two of them, lifted the Alloy Shield in his hand, and struck fiercely!

"Smack!" Iron Palm filled his mouth with blood but dared not spit it out, gnashing on broken teeth and swallowing them.

Ghost Calculations walked up to Black Bear and thrust a Longsword viciously towards his eyes.

"Ah!" Black Bear clutched his eyes, rolling on the ground, letting out heart-wrenching howls.

Wang Xu turned his head, supporting Black Whip and Blue Sword, allowing them to see the tormented state of Iron Palm and Black Bear.

"Heh heh." Blue Sword half-opened his eyes and smiled, "Wang Xu, thank you."

Wang Xu said nothing; Black Whip and Blue Sword's injuries were severe, with comminuted fractures, multiple tendon and bone breaks, even if healed, they couldn't exert Tier Five power.

Losing power was tantamount to stripping them of their qualification to survive!

And all this was because of Wang Xu.

"I will heal you, I definitely will!" Wang Xu vowed silently in his heart.

...

The fate of Black Bear and Iron Palm was miserable, in the end, not even leaving behind a complete corpse.

Seeing this scene, Bai Bi's legs went weak, almost staggering to the ground.

In the battle just now, Bai Bi had no mind for spectatorship; two Tier Six, one Tier Seven, dealing with a few Tier Five and Six small fry, it was a foregone conclusion.

But seeing that the team members had not returned for so long, Bai Bi picked up a thermal optic, discovering the lifeless bodies of the three on the spot.

When Bai Bi arrived at the scene, the faint smell of rotten corpses had already started to emanate, finally making him fully realize one thing—

The Thunder Battle Group was annihilated!

Bai Bi turned and left, not daring to linger, even though he wanted to know how such a weak group managed to kill Lei Beng's three people, yet he couldn't muster the curiosity.

...

"Huh? What happened to the ranking of the Thunder Battle Group?"

In front of the huge electronic screen at the battle group base, there were always many students passing by, taking a look at the battle group rankings.

Battle group rankings were calculated based on task points, Insect Beast hunting points, and monthly Contribution Points; the accuracy and authenticity of the list were extremely high, with virtually no discrepancy.

With thousands of battle groups, not all could be displayed on the electronic screen, only the top one hundred battle groups qualified to be shown.

And today, the text on the electronic screen flickered as a whole, causing quite a few exclamations.

"It's the Thunder Battle Group! The Thunder Battle Group is gone!" someone exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, the entire hall buzzed with discussions.

It's not surprising for a battle group to be annihilated; everyday, groups perish in the wilderness. However, which of the top hundred groups aren't formidable? Yet it vanished overnight?

Thus, the news of the Thunder Battle Group's annihilation spread quickly, like wings unfurling.

At this time, the prime conspirator behind the Thunder Battle Group's demise, Wang Xu, was sitting in the trading hall.

"Mr. Wang Xu, the three Life Fruits you purchased, only two are left, one was just bought by someone else, I'm truly sorry." said a staff member apologetically.

Life Fruits, so long as a person was still breathing, could instantly rejuvenate life, but the higher the user's realm, the lesser the effect.

Wang Xu, in order to help Red Eye and Blue Sword's trio return to normal, spared no expense, using all his savings to buy a Life Fruit at two million Contribution Points each.

"Who bought the last one?" Wang Xu frowned; Life Fruits were scarce, a rare item. Every quarter saw a new batch, the quantity extremely limited, Wang Xu seized the chance to buy three, yet was told one was bought.

"Sorry, we can't disclose the buyer's information, my apologies." the staff member said apologetically.

Wang Xu sighed deeply, it seemed he could only wait until the next quarter.

Suddenly, Wang Xu cast a casual glance, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Ms. Yan, please wait!"
