The cockroaches in Ningcheng are as numerous as ever!
On a bustling street, in front of a hot pot restaurant.
A man nearly 1.9 meters tall, holding a silver spear and wearing a white tight-fitting combat suit, impaled a C-class peak dark creature in mid-air. Then, with lightning crackling from his spear tip, he blasted the creature, which had revealed its true form, into pieces.
He was an extremely cold-looking man, with fair skin, narrow eyes, and silver spiky hair signifying his lightning ability. At the center of his forehead, a silver vertical eye radiated a terrifying pressure whenever it opened.
His appearance caused the surrounding people to become incredibly excited.
"Ah, Lei Jun is so handsome~"
"He's Lei Jun, one of the Ten Great Heavenly Talents of the Capital, and he's actually come to our Ningcheng today! Is this what a lightning ability user looks like? Holy cow, he's too fierce!"
"Is that an dark energy spirit crystal? It's the size of a goose egg. I really want to trade it for spirit meat."
"Brother, I want to have your babies~"
In the past month, with the full disclosure of information about superhumans, a nationwide craze for worshipping superhumans had swept through the Dragon Country. Superhumans were now involved in everything from variety shows to various TV dramas and movies.
Compared to the effeminate "little fresh meat" idols, the bodies of superhumans, after being modified by spirit energy, were generally superior in physique and appearance. Coupled with their powerful strength, and with abundant resources and exposure, many superhumans' popularity had directly surpassed that of numerous entertainment superstars.
Although Lei Jun had not participated in any entertainment programs or film and television works, many of his soul-stirring battle videos were circulated online, making him one of the most popular traffic superhumans of the moment.
"All extraneous personnel, clear out!"
After eliminating the dark creature, Lei Jun glanced coldly at the noisy crowd that was watching as if they had no fear of death. Terrifying killing intent spread out.
Many people showed fear and retreated a few steps, but a few streamers, driven by the pursuit of traffic, hesitated and were reluctant to leave.
As his words were spoken, several army-green military vehicles stopped outside the crowd. A group of soldiers armed with live ammunition jumped out and began to disperse the crowd.
"Hmph, truly courting death!" Lei Jun snorted coldly. Seeing the street gradually clearing, and after ensuring most people had dispersed, he turned his gaze to the hot pot restaurant.
To prevent any accidents, before entering the hot pot restaurant, he once again enveloped an area of several hundred meters with his mental power. He discovered that in a one-bedroom, one-living-room apartment next door, a girl of about eleven or twelve years old was sleeping alone at home, apparently having not heard the evacuation order.
Lei Jun frowned, flew over directly, and broke through the wall. He quickly carried the little girl out and handed her to the soldiers, telling them to retreat quickly.
Afterward, he rushed directly into the hot pot restaurant.
Not long after he entered, the entire hot pot restaurant exploded. Amidst a flurry of lightning arcs, a B-class dark creature disguised as a waiter suddenly had its back turn into writhing black liquid, forming a pair of wings. It shot rapidly towards the sky and stopped at an altitude of one hundred meters.
This dark creature had a head and features, with all five senses present except for its tongue. It exuded a terrifying pressure, and its energy was no longer pure dark spirit energy, but half black and half white, which it could switch or hide at will. This was the main reason it could remain hidden among the crowd without being discovered.
Who would have thought that a hot pot restaurant waiter earning three thousand five hundred a month would be a B-class dark creature controlling domain power?
And with its exposure, all the staff in the hot pot restaurant had undoubtedly become its blood food.
Lei Jun stood in the ruins of the collapsed hot pot restaurant, looking at the B-class dark creature in the sky, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed.
Dark creatures were born from the condensation of inert dark spirit energy and evolved to F-class by devouring awakened individuals.
After F-class, they continued to devour awakened individuals until they reached D-class and grew a mouth, after which they began to consume human flesh and blood. With continuous consumption, they gradually gained intelligence and could also absorb dark spirit energy from the air to cultivate.
Upon reaching C-class and growing a nose, they became Dark Demons. In the Dark Demon stage, their need for human flesh and blood became higher, and their intelligence became comparable to that of normal humans.
After advancing to B-class, Dark Demons became even harder to detect. They hid among human populations in various identities, could directly control dark spirit energy in the air, and combined with dark matter precipitated by sunlight, they could create domains, becoming even more powerful.
At this moment, the Dark Demon that flew out above the hot pot restaurant was still wearing the work uniform of a hot pot restaurant waiter. It turned in mid-air, flapped its black wings, and spread its hands wide. Soon, a black domain shield enveloped several hundred meters around.
Clearly, a C-class peak lightning ability user was not enough to make it flee in panic.
As the domain shield formed, a few streamers who had ignored the warnings and were shouting "Double tap for 666, my good brothers" entered the danger zone. Enveloped by the domain, their bodies rapidly melted like ice and snow. Without even a chance to scream, they completely turned into a pool of blood.
Subsequently, these blood transformed into a mass of energy blood mist and entered the body of the Dark Demon in the sky, and the Dark Demon's face showed an expression of enjoyment.
At this moment, within the domain, all light spirit energy was polluted and blackened into evil dark spirit energy. Countless terrifying spikes condensed in the air, densely stabbing towards Lei Jun, who stood proudly in the ruins of the hot pot restaurant.
Each of these dark spikes contained enough power to pierce the flesh of a B-class early stage expert. Moreover, they were accompanied by a foul aura. It could be imagined that if a human superhuman were to be hit by these spikes, the spirit energy within their body would be completely polluted in an instant, ultimately leading to their demise due to their inability to use spirit energy.
Lei Jun's expression was slightly cold, but he was not panicked.
With a thought, boundless lightning erupted from his body, attempting to electrocute and purify all the incoming spikes. However, the dark spirit energy contained within these dark spikes was incredibly tenacious, like a persistent disease. The lightning condensed by his C-class spirit energy density was insufficient to purify them completely.
In desperation, Lei Jun stomped his foot. As the floor cracked, he completely disappeared from his original position. When he reappeared, electricity gathered in the vertical eye at the center of his forehead, shooting out a terrifying lightning pillar that completely pierced the B-class Dark Demon in the sky. The domain shield behind the Dark Demon also had a circular hole with a diameter of one meter created in it.
The external radiance shone through the hole, but quickly disappeared again.
"A mere C-class peak ability user, so what if you're lightning-based? You are still too weak!"
A cold voice emanated from the pierced abdomen of the Dark Demon. With a mere wave of its hand, dark spirit energy converged within the domain, mending the gap in the domain and causing its pierced body to begin to writhe and quickly recover to normal.
Then, within the domain, dense dark spikes began to condense again, all with their sharp tips pointed towards Lei Jun.
"Weak?" Lei Jun was stunned for a moment, then began to laugh in a low voice.
The next moment, a part of his combat suit suddenly shattered, revealing his well-built upper body.
Flickering lightning arcs pulsed on his upper body, which was also covered with eighteen black lightning patterns, giving him a wild, mysterious, and domineering aura.
Then, he took a step forward. Instantly, the floor cracked, and the lightning patterns on his body suddenly lit up. As the lightning patterns were activated, some kind of restraint within his body seemed to be unleashed, causing his aura to leap directly from C-class peak to B-class.
Seeing this, a flicker of shock appeared in the Dark Demon's eyes, and its expression turned ferocious. With a wave of its right hand, dense terrifying spikes, accompanied by dense sonic booms, enveloped Lei Jun, while it itself, carrying immense power, lunged towards Lei Jun.
"Extraneous personnel are not allowed to enter!"
As Yu Zhibo walked towards the food street with his hands in his pockets, he was immediately attracted by the giant black dome in the center of the food street. A black cat was perched on his shoulder, and he intended to help, but as expected, he was stopped by the soldiers maintaining order.
Yu Zhibo did not immediately reveal his identity. He simply stopped in his tracks and activated his Sharingan to observe, causing the soldiers who stopped him to be on high alert, unsure if he was friend or foe.
Inside the black dome, all images and sounds were blocked. However, after Yu Zhibo activated his Sharingan, the entire black dome became like transparent black gauze, allowing his gaze to penetrate it and take in the scene within.
Inside, a tall lightning ability user was engaged in a fierce battle with a Dark Demon of B-class mid-stage or above. However, judging by the current situation, the lightning ability user was at a disadvantage, and the scales of victory were slowly tilting towards the Dark Demon.
The reason was simple: the modified dark spirit energy within the Dark Demon's domain was too tenacious. The spirit energy released by the lightning ability user was not enough to purify it into absorbable light spirit energy. With this imbalance, the disadvantage was naturally evident.
"When did Ningcheng get other lightning ability users?"
Yu Zhibo was somewhat puzzled but did not delay. Confirming that the lightning ability user fighting the Dark Demon was likely one of his own, he decided to help.
With Lin Ma's 150,000 spiritual shield and the Flying Thunder God Technique, he was very stable.
After deciding to help, he quickly started his live broadcast, ignoring the dense audience and bullet comments flooding the stream, and focused his attention on the spirit energy metal bracelet on his wrist.
Then, with a slight movement of his mind, a spirit energy metal bracelet transformed into a kunai. He applied the Flying Thunder God formula to it, and it burrowed thirty meters underground. He then used Earth Style to create an eight-cubic-meter space around the kunai.
This was his backup plan. If the situation turned unfavorable during the battle, he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape underground at any time.
"I am from the Investigation Bureau of the Shenhua Branch. This is my identification!"
After completing all this, he handed his identification to the soldiers who were on high alert.
Without waiting for any further reaction from the soldiers, he used his mental power to transform the spirit energy metal bracelet into a kunai again, and then added the Chidori blade effect to the kunai.
Subsequently, he threw the kunai. It crackled with lightning and, with the enhancement of his mental power, shot through the domain's black dome like a bolt of electricity, directly towards the Dark Demon fighting Lei Jun in mid-air.
"Mokuton, activate!"
Dark Demons were different from the demonic beasts in secret realms. They possessed intelligence comparable to humans and had many attack methods. This was Yu Zhibo's first time facing a B-class Dark Demon, and he dared not be careless.
The moment he threw the kunai, he instantly merged with Mokuton. His skin turned white, and he transformed into a cat-eared, long-haired cat-like handsome man, drawing gasps from several girls in the crowd.
At the same time, the miniature camera used for filming was controlled by his mental power and stuck tightly to his chest. The next moment, as his body disappeared from its original position.
"Another C-class lightning-based little bug has appeared?"
Within the domain's black dome, the Dark Demon frowned as it looked at the kunai carrying lightning, and dodged its head.
The next moment, the sharp cry of Chidori sounded beside its ear. The Dark Demon's body stiffened, and it turned its head in disbelief, only to find that the kunai it had just dodged was now held in the hand of a white-haired youth who had appeared out of nowhere.
The youth appeared abruptly beside it, his breathing clearly audible, his scarlet eyes looking at it with terrifying killing intent.
"How is this possible!" The Dark Demon's pupils contracted sharply.
Then, its gaze shifted downwards, and it saw the youth's other hand, where countless lightning arcs were dancing. The sharp cry of Chidori emanated from the lightning covering its palm.
Time seemed to stop at this moment. The youth looked at it, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Let the thunder pierce the evil!"
Jijiji~
The next second, the lightning-covered palm magnified infinitely in its pupils.
