First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

Following the sound, they looked over.

Radiant robes glowing with sunset hues, a face veiled in gossamer silk, a breathtaking figure, stroking a qin as she rode the waves toward them.

Clearly a demon.

Yet she possessed a fresh, refined quality, as if she were a celestial maiden of the mortal world.

Her first words were an interrogation.

Her very presence carried the fragrance of flowers, borne upon the waves that struck the void and traveled outward.

This was an innate exotic fragrance.

The Third Sovereign watched the newcomer with the attitude of someone enjoying a good show: ”So she is Linjiang Xian.”

Lei Xiao instantly cut in: ”She reeks of demon stench, and you call her an immortal? More like river seafood, all fishy and rank.”

Lu Ding nearly laughed. The way Lei Xiao talked was really something.

Then they watched as Lei Xiao leaped forward.

”I killed him. What about it?”

She hadn’t forgotten that Brother Lu had just said he wanted her to handle Linjiang Xian.

Though judging from the aura of her entrance.

Lei Xiao knew that in a head-on confrontation, she was at a disadvantage. She was absolutely no match for her.

She estimated she only had a sliver of resistance in her, not much.

But so what?

In this life, she had been a man, been a woman, been poor, been ugly, but she had never once been a coward.

She didn’t even know how to write that word.

Back when she was still a man, born into poverty, with a home bare as four walls, he was the type with nothing but a lousy life to his name who refused to back down from a fight. What did he have to lose? He had to make something of himself in this lifetime.

Now she had even become a Qi Refiner.

And had a monstrous innate ability stacked on top of that.

So she might as well just fight!!

Blow up with her!

Opening with her ultimate move, lightning arcs coiling around her, both hands spreading and pulling, her eyes blooming with blue electric light, a wondrous lightning bow took shape in Lei Xiao’s hands as she drew the string and nocked an arrow!

She looked every bit the part of a hero shooting a condor from the sky.

[Lightning Art: Lightning Tribulation Guidance]

BOOM!!!!!

Thunder roared, lightning flashed, and the lightning arrow pierced through the clouds.

The Myriad Demons Gathering’s Linjiang Xian swept her fingers across the qin, and the qin’s notes surged violently.

The lightning arrow shattered in midair in an instant.

”Foolish nonsense. With your methods alone, you’re not capable of killing the Heavenly Demon. Who was it?!”

Beneath her veil, Linjiang Xian’s voice was ice-cold.

The Third Sovereign’s lips curled upward. He knew it. Lei Xiao posed no threat to Linjiang Xian.

There was a gap in combat power.

He had originally thought it was just a small gap, but now it seemed the gap was not small at all.

Now Lu Ding should finally step up, right?

He glanced toward Lu Ding.

But at this moment, he failed to notice that Lei Xiao was not panicking in the slightest.

Because.

Her arrow had not been an attack. It was location tracking!!!

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

Thunder pealed like the endless rolling of war drums.

The void cracked open, and illusory silhouettes appeared one after another, like deities holding hammers and chisels, wings sprouting from their backs. The hammer and chisel came together, and thick purple lightning, as wide as water barrels, came crashing down.

The Flying Thunder Phoenix spread its wings, sweeping across so vast it blotted out the sky, continuously raining down thunderbolts, bombarding the area where Linjiang Xian stood.

There was also the Thunder Lord, the Lightning Mother, the great god carrying a thunder drum, minor gods hauling thunderbolts, and soldiers and generals descending in the wake of the lightning.

In an instant, explosions rang out ceaselessly.

The area where Linjiang Xian stood was blasted into a field of blossoming fire, scorched earth stretching in every direction.

Lei Xiao rolled up her sleeves, and before charging in, shot a glance at the Third Sovereign, brimming with provocation: ”You clueless ignoramus, you have no idea how bugged Dad is. Just you watch!!!!”

ROARRR!!!!!

Thunder rumbled.

Lei Xiao took massive strides, treading upon thunderbolts, her speed so outrageous it bordered on flight.

Plucking thunder pillars from the Lightning Sea and hurling them straight at her target.

She was going in!!!!!

Raise hand, form a hand seal, channel qi, take aim.

Her mouth formed words the Third Sovereign could not understand.

”Lightning Mother, Thunder Lord, swiftly descend your divine abilities. East longitude 179.32, North latitude 922.51. Thunder descends, divine punishment falls. Swiftly swiftly, as the law commands, boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!!”

In an instant.

The divine silhouettes across the firmament grew even denser, their attacks even more frequent. The area where Linjiang Xian stood was directly blasted into a boiling cauldron.

Lei Xiao plunged headfirst into the midst of it.

No tricks, no feints. She knew the opponent was fearsome.

So the moment she dove in.

She directly became, a human-sized explosion.

Cracks split across her flesh, blooming with lightning radiance!

Art, is an explosion!!!!!

BOOM!!!!!

This move caught the enduring Linjiang Xian and forced her on the spot to cosplay the role of a close-range explosion observer.

She was blown flying outright.

The qin in her arms had several strings snapped outright, and the edge of her veil was blown clean off.

She thought herself rather ruthless, because she could share injuries with her enemies, so she never feared combat. But then she ran into Lei Xiao, this honorless little thing, whose nature perfectly countered hers.

Opening with a self-detonation.

When had she ever seen such a scene? She swore she hadn’t even gotten to deliver any tough words. She had only asked who killed the Heavenly Demon.

And this woman had just straight-up self-destructed!!

Why must a woman make things so hard for another woman?

Between us, I’m asking you, did it really need to be this extreme?

Even if Linjiang Xian could make her enemies suffer the same degree of injury she did, Lei Xiao had already been blown to pieces. Who was left to share injuries with?

Linjiang Xian forcefully suppressed the backflow of blood churning within her from the sudden self-detonation.

Cursing: ”Madwoman!!!!”

The next second, that violently exploding battlefield directly shifted toward her again.

Lei Xiao’s voice rang out from within: ”So you want to curse at me!!!!”

”Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, all transformations share one origin. Summon the gods, the gods come. Summon the immortals, the immortals arrive. Eight hundred thunder officers wave their banners. Thunderbolts descend in punishment. I command the thunder-carrying officials. Overwhelming thunder suppression. Swiftly swiftly, as the law commands. BOOM!!!!!”

Thunder rained from the heavens, pounding Linjiang Xian until she nearly suffered acute lightning poisoning. That overwhelming sea of thunder, thunder prisons, thunder cages, all came crashing over directly.

Trapping her firmly.

Lei Xiao, this honorless one, inside the thunder-solidified cage, detonated again!!

Explosion!!!

BOOM!!!!!

Lei Xiao knew that in a straight fight she absolutely could not beat Linjiang Xian, so her only option was to be a suicide bomber. Go in and just blow up. If once doesn’t work, ten times. If ten times don’t work, a hundred times.

Die and revive, revive at full strength.

Her lightning art of commanding soldiers and dispatching generals would eventually, through repeated stacking, summon a hundred thousand thunder division heavenly soldiers and generals. By then, forget one Linjiang Xian, even ten of her would be no match.

Just exploit the bug, just stack the numbers.

Unless someone possessed the same [Way of the Jinche] as Lu Ding, only something like that could threaten Lei Xiao and truly finish her off.

Otherwise.

They could only follow Lei Xiao’s tempo and let her blast them into a state where they couldn’t even take care of themselves.

Back when she first encountered Lu Ding, the fact that she was captured was truly because she had been tricked, plus being unfamiliar with the territory, so she went along with it, letting herself be led, which conveniently let her follow the trail to find the strong.

Now, there was no way she could be tricked, because the moment anything touched her, she exploded.

An unstable state.

Even lower ignition point than white phosphorus.

Such a deranged fighting style truly opened the Third Sovereign’s eyes, and also made Lu Ding somewhat astonished!

This bugged!!!

Without some method naturally countering her, who could possibly handle her?

This also made the glances the Third Sovereign secretly cast toward Lu Ding full of bewilderment.

An existence like Lei Xiao, what exactly was the reason that allowed her to contentedly remain beneath Lu Ding?

The Third Sovereign did not understand.
