"Trial Storm II!"

Lu Zhaoming roared and directed the energy fluctuations of the "Annihilation Matrix" toward the white-robed camp.

"What?!" The white-robed man's expression changed drastically, and he instantly realized that he had been tricked.

He tried to escape, but it was too late.

A powerful shockwave swept across the entire area, like a hurricane, destroying everything in its path.

The white fox let out a mournful cry and fled in panic, disappearing into the shadows.

The man in white robes was forced to retreat, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Great, now's the time!

Lu Zhaoming

Just then, the man in white suddenly activated the teleportation device he carried with him. A flash of light appeared, and his figure became blurry.

"Lu Zhaoming, you wait!" The voice in the white robe came from the teleportation device, carrying a hint of resentment and unwillingness.

"We'll meet again!" With a flash of light, the figure in the white robe began to distort and blur, like a TV signal malfunctioning, before finally disappearing completely with a "whoosh."

His sarcastic voice, as if coming through frosted glass, still lingered in the air: "This game isn't over yet, Lu Zhaoming... Hmph... We'll see!"

"Damn it! He got away!" Lu Zhaoming cursed under his breath, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Watching this show-off perform a magic trick right under my nose was incredibly frustrating.

However, now is not the time to dwell on this; important matters need to be addressed!

He whirled around, his gaze like an ice-cold knife, fixed on the wreckage of the "Annihilation Matrix" not far away, still crackling with electricity and flashing with an eerie red light.

Although the core components of that thing were damaged, it was clearly not completely dead yet. It was like a time bomb that could explode again at any moment, which was very dangerous!

"You still want a future? Dream on!" A cold glint flashed in Lu Zhaoming's eyes, giving it no chance to breathe.

He forcefully suppressed the surge of blood and qi caused by his previous confrontation with "Judgment Storm II", and once again mobilized the little remaining Judgment energy, gathering it at his fingertips, and pointed it fiercely at the core component!

"Judgment...disintegration!"

A highly condensed energy beam, more precise than a laser pointer, instantly pierced through layers of protection and struck the still-dying core directly.

"Boom—Crack!" A muffled explosion mixed with the mournful sound of metal shattering completely, and the core component exploded, turning into a pile of black smoke and scrap metal, completely losing all its luster.

A strong, slightly pungent smell of burnt circuit boards instantly filled the air, along with a faint ozone odor from dissipated energy.

Finally, we've taken care of one of our biggest threats!

Lu Zhaoming breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling his tense nerves relax a little.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, a soft "ding-dong" sound suddenly rang out in front of him, and the familiar, semi-transparent system interface that only he could see popped up in a flash.

A line of cold, mechanical system notification text appeared clearly on his retina:

[Warning: Weak, unknown signal fluctuations detected in the core region of the Annihilation Matrix... Energy trajectory analysis in progress... Abnormal targeting... Preliminary assessment suggests possible connection to the latest movements of target 'White Robe'...]
