Chapter 282: A Thunderclap From A Clear Sky
“Abomination?”
Hearing Captain Mao’s reminder, Lu Bai hurriedly waved his hands, signaling to run away quickly.
He had been in this world for a week, after all, and although he hadn’t had time to fully understand every anomaly.
He still had some impression of anomalies with high rank sequences.
This naturally included the Sequence 27 abomination.
Yes, abomination was one of the rare anomalies with a physical entity.
A mature stage abomination was a colossal monster piled up from countless corpses.
The current meatball form was clearly still in the juvenile stage; it would need to devour at least thousands of people to transform into a massive and bloated humanoid.
Even so, a juvenile stage abomination could not be dealt with by ordinary means; even large-yield aerial bombs might not cause it any harm.
Facing this terrifying anomaly, Lu Bai could only choose to pull Captain Mao and the others away first.
It wasn’t that he was cowardly.
After all, facts proved that the routine ghost-catching methods in Maoshan Daoism had no effect on abomination; until there was a better way, they could only avoid it for now.
……
In the council hall of the action department.
Visible disturbance had also appeared there.
Any top thirty sequences anomaly was an ultra-high-risk incident for the action department.
Fortunately, this abomination was currently still in the juvenile stage and hadn’t grown to an uncontrollable level yet.
Minister Zhang stared at the screen on the central big screen, falling into a long silence.
The bald director of Lu Bao Bureau shouted a few times, barely calming the disturbed council hall.
Then he turned around, lowered his voice, and said, “Minister Zhang? You need to make a decision.”
Normally, when an abomination appeared in a city, the civilians in the city had to be evacuated as quickly as possible, and then the military mobilized to attempt physical destruction with heavy firepower.
Minister Zhang’s eyebrows furrowed into a river character on his forehead, but he finally sighed helplessly and said word by word, “Notify to evacuate the civilians.”
As soon as this decision was made, the bald bureau chief instinctively said, “No more waiting? Losing another first-tier city, we can’t afford this loss anymore.”
It wasn’t that he couldn’t bear to make the decision.
On one hand, this abomination was still only in the juvenile stage and hadn’t evolved to the completely out-of-control degree like the previous two abominations.
On the other hand, as the bureau chief of Lu Bao Bureau, he had placed some hope on Lu Bai.
Minister Zhang shook his head and looked towards the large screen, where Lu Bai had already pulled Captain Mao and the others out of the teaching building.
“This is the only way.”
His tone unavoidably carried a bit of bitterness: “Look, that Master Lu doesn’t have any good methods either.”
……
Boom!!!
A bright blue lightning bolt shot out from Lu Bai’s palm, blasting a part of the abomination’s surface into a charred black patch.
But the effect of the palm thunder was only this much.
Not to mention injuring this abomination; even one palm thunder from him couldn’t delay the abomination’s movement.
“This is troublesome.”
Lu Bai stopped on the open ground outside the teaching building, pondering countermeasures.
Maoshan Daoism was extremely effective against Eastern-style anomalies, but against abominations like this, it was not even as good as a large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle.
Captain Mao also saw that Lu Bai’s previously invincible means against anomalies had no effect at all against abomination.
He hurriedly shouted, “Master Lu, let’s escape quickly while we can.”
Observer Chen held the camera, saying nothing, faithfully recording everything in front of him.
As for the other death fighter who looked like a construction worker, he was also following behind Lu Bai’s group in their escape.
Probably out of the idea of hiding his own ability, he hadn’t even tried to attack the abomination again.
Bang~
The meatball, huge like a small house, rolled down from the second floor of the teaching building and tumbled two circles on the ground.
After stopping, dozens of scarlet eyes neatly looked towards Lu Bai.
The palm thunder hadn’t hurt the abomination, but it had clearly enraged it.
“Damn it, I’m not playing with you anymore.”
Seeing the blood red meatball rapidly wriggling over, the construction worker was startled and ran wildly without thinking.
Lu Bai glanced at the construction worker’s increasingly distant back, no longer hesitating, and silently recited: Read.
[Read complete, data is: Bursting Qi (Gold)]
[Load data?]
He hadn’t read this ability immediately before, mainly because he felt it wasn’t very useful and there was no rush.
Now that the construction worker planned to run away, Lu Bai figured he could only enhance himself as much as possible first.
[Bursting Qi (Gold): As the prerequisite for releasing super special moves, it is an essential combat method for top fighters, temporarily enhancing one’s physical fitness by consuming one’s own stamina.]
The construction worker didn’t notice that his ability had disappeared and continued running with his head down.
But the meatball-state abomination didn’t pay attention to the construction worker at all and charged straight towards Lu Bai.
The legs and hands covering the meatball’s surface came alive, stiffly thrusting forward, about to grab Lu Bai.
At the critical moment, Lu Bai suddenly activated [Flash Time], and during the time the world was frozen, he bent down, stepped forward with his right foot, and activated [Bursting Qi].
Blue-green airwaves swept out from around him.
Although the aura looked quite exaggerated, the actual lethality was almost none.
However, Lu Bai hadn’t expected to rely on this gold ability he read to fight against this anomalous meatball anyway.
Feeling the abundant sense of power brought by [Bursting Qi], he formed lightning law hand seals with both hands at the same time, gently pushing them out flat, unleashing palm thunder without reservation.
The next second.
Under the gaze of Captain Mao, Observer Chen, and billions of audience members behind the screens.
Between Lu Bai’s palm and the blood red meatball, an extremely dazzling bright blue glow appeared out of thin air.
Boom!!!
A clap of thunder on flat ground, flesh and blood fragments flying everywhere.
The violent impact force of the palm thunder interrupted the abomination’s advance on the spot.
The lethality of the lightning itself blasted a visible indentation into the meatball.
Admittedly, against anomalies like abomination, the demon-subduing exorcism properties of lightning law itself couldn’t be brought into play.
But as long as the power was high enough, the destructive effect of thunder itself was still not to be underestimated.
In an instant, large patches of black smoke rose, and the air was filled with the smell of roasted meat and bloody smell.
Seeing this scene, the audience in the livestream room went crazy.
“Holy crap, lightning!”
“Master Lu! We still have to believe in Master Lu!”
“Did it succeed?”
“Hard to say, can’t see clearly at all.”
Captain Mao, who witnessed the entire process on site, was completely dumbfounded.
Even though he had known early on that Lu Bai could conjure lightning like this with a wave of his hand, the power reaching this level still made him find it unbelievable.
And after fully unleashing this lightning law, Lu Bai turned around and ran wildly without any concern for his image.
While running, he shouted at Captain Mao and Observer Chen, “What are you standing there for? Run quickly!”
