C69 Killing!

At a minimum, it's a hundredfold!

What does a strike at a hundredfold magnitude entail?

If Zhao Jun were still at his peak, then even a hundredfold Chu Yi wouldn't intimidate him.

But now...

In his haste, he managed a makeshift defense, pushing himself to the absolute limit.

But, regrettably...

In an instant, countless bolts of lightning surged into Zhao Jun's body.

He was paralyzed, feeling an odd sensation of cold and heat intertwining where Chu Yi's fist made contact.

Suddenly, Zhao Jun felt as though his body was burdened with immense gravity, making it impossible for him to even lift his fist.

What in the world was this!

Zhao Jun yearned to shout his question, but his voice emerged as nothing more than a pained howl.

"Ahh!!!"

The pain was unbearable. Zhao Jun felt a myriad of injuries spreading throughout his body, nearly driving him to the brink of collapse in a mere moment!

A distorted hue flickered in Chu Yi's icy gaze.

Indeed, Chu Yi was also struggling.

Using the power of immortal arts was trivial for Chu Yi, but employing them to a degree that could impact or even threaten a High Order Gold General required an exertion of his primordial spirit that neared his breaking point.

Chu Yi was aware that he couldn't sustain this state for much longer.

If Zhao Jun could persevere, then Chu Yi would be the one to crumble first!

And so...

Zhao Jun's body crashed heavily to the ground. But as his thoughts began to clear, he sensed a dreadful wave of energy beneath him.

It was a spectacle that only emerged when immense forces converged!

Ignoring the excruciating pain, Zhao Jun knew he had to move or he might not survive this ordeal.

With great effort, he propelled himself upwards.

And in the very moment he vacated the spot, the ground where he had been erupted with numerous fearsome Spikeweeds!

"Earth-type genetic power!"

Chu Yi had already demonstrated a variety of genetic powers, and now he revealed yet another: earth-type. But Zhao Jun was beyond surprise.

As Chu Yi unleashed multiple genetic powers in succession, Zhao Jun came to a realization.

Suspended in midair, he was now beyond the reach of the earth's grasp.

Zhao Jun would never have resorted to this if he hadn't been left with no other choice.

He was merely a Gold, not a War God!

Only those at the War God Level could soar through the skies.

As a Gold, Zhao Jun faced numerous limitations in the air, nearly losing his ability to move.

But now, Zhao Jun was out of options.

Gazing at the distant Chu Yi, Zhao Jun's eyes narrowed. He noticed that Chu Yi's gaze lacked the frustration of a missed attack; instead, there was a sense of complete control.

Zhao Jun detested such delusions, yet he was powerless to change anything at the moment.

In fact, he didn't even have the time to think.

Because in that instant, he felt it!

The once clear sky was suddenly filled with countless dark clouds.

No, to be precise, the dark clouds had amassed right above him!

In that moment, Zhao Jun's pupils constricted.

As he pondered, an uncountable number of lightning serpents cascaded from the clouds...

"Five Thunder Technique..."

Chu Yi uttered these words slowly. As his voice settled, the myriad lightning serpents in the void had already enveloped Zhao Jun...

Despair?

Indeed, despair was the only thing Zhao Jun felt at that moment!

On the ground, he might have relied on his speed, various techniques, and even gear to evade.

But now, in the void...

Without anything to leverage, he was nothing but a sitting duck.

Besides, the lightning's velocity was so extreme that even on the ground, Zhao Jun wasn't confident he could evade it all, let alone now...

Boom after boom echoed as lightning bolts struck Zhao Jun repeatedly, leaving his body crisscrossed with charred marks.

Zhao Jun appeared to be in a dire state.

However, Chu Yi understood that these were merely superficial wounds.

This was a High Order Gold General, a being far beyond his own capabilities. Unless he deployed his most potent immortal arts, it was virtually impossible to defeat Zhao Jun with these attacks alone.

Chu Yi was aware that he couldn't afford to give Zhao Jun any opportunity to recover. If Zhao Jun managed to fully regain his composure, he would be able to withstand the assault for some time.

And then...

The lightning in the heavens started to subside.

Although the Five Thunders Authentic Technique isn't considered a top-tier immortal art and is relatively common in the Immortal Demon World, its fearsome reputation is well-recognized. When it comes to sheer power, many advanced immortal arts fall short in comparison to the Five Thunders Authentic Technique. Moreover, with sufficient Origin Spirit Power, one could even unleash the devastating force akin to the most formidable immortal arts! Of course, the energy required is tremendously great.

Chu Yi would not have opted for the Five Thunders Authentic Technique if he had other options, but his hands were tied.

Zhao Jun plummeted through the air, appearing utterly wretched, yet the fall had not truly harmed him. However, as he descended, the void erupted with countless violent winds that materialized out of thin air, instantly forming and striking with ferocious intensity. The space itself seemed to warp under the might of this power, which filled the entire area.

In the next instant, these storms lashed out at Zhao Jun in the void. Overwhelmed by the immense power, Zhao Jun was consumed by deep regret. He had assumed that by evading the ground spikes, he could avoid serious harm. But he had grossly underestimated the extent of Chu Yi's arsenal. Each of Chu Yi's techniques could serve as a shocking ace up one's sleeve.

Even the Five Thunders Authentic Technique, while not powerful enough to annihilate him, could inflict severe injury—and Zhao Jun was acutely aware that Chu Yi was merely an Elementary Silver, while he himself was a High Order Gold. The disparity between their levels was vast.

Had it been a Silver on Chu Yi's level, or even an ordinary Gold, a single assault from Chu Yi would have been catastrophic. Such prodigious talent was unheard of among their peers.

Given the choice, Zhao Jun would have preferred to face the brute force of the ground spikes, but regret was futile at this point. The relentless winds descended upon him, tearing at his flesh. Although the hurricane's force paled in comparison to the Five Thunders Authentic Technique, Zhao Jun's defenses were significantly weakened from the successive blows, leaving him vulnerable to the storm's wrath.

The berserk hurricane was powerful enough to breach Zhao Jun's defenses, delivering a near-fatal blow. It didn't just continue to batter Zhao Jun; it also swept his nearly grounded body back into the air. Despair filled Zhao Jun's eyes at that moment. He knew he couldn't hold on much longer, and Chu Yi's condition seemed far superior to his own. Zhao Jun understood that he was the one destined to fall...

In that instant, memories of his carefree youth flashed through Zhao Jun's mind. Meanwhile, Chu Yi materialized in the void. If he had a choice, Chu Yi wouldn't want this either. He felt helpless as his body had reached its breaking point. Continuing to wield the immortal arts so recklessly, he feared he might collapse. But the time had come.

Chu Yi pushed the power attribute to its absolute limit. His body bore the toll—bloodstains appeared, skin cracked, and he seemed to grow a few centimeters taller. His aura was beyond imagination, having pushed his physical limits to the extreme. His capacity for destruction now exceeded a hundredfold!

The raw power clashed with the air, creating explosive bursts and a faint rumbling. It was a display of sheer terror and overwhelming strength. Even Zhao Jun, in his prime, would struggle to withstand such force. And now...

Lee Zi witnessed the spectacle. A punch was thrown, and the air itself seemed to collapse. The sheer force of a hundred tons concentrated into that one strike was beyond comprehension. A bloody mist erupted in the sky. Zhao Jun was no more...

Chu Yi struggled twice but failed to rise from the ground. Realizing something was amiss, Lee Zi rushed to his side. "Are you alright, Chu Yi?" Concern was etched in her eyes. She had been distracted before and hadn't noticed Chu Yi's dire state.

In reality, Lee Zi couldn't be blamed. Chu Yi's prior condition had simply been too extreme.

Zhao Jun had never before witnessed the immortal arts that Chu Yi wielded, and Lee Zi had never even heard of them.

Yet, truth be told, Lee Zi was still faring much better than Zhao Jun, having had some prior exposure to the immortal arts.

This time, however, Chu Yi's display completely shattered Lee Zi's worldview.

It was nothing short of explosive!

Yes, to Lee Zi, Chu Yi seemed to embody the very essence of an explosion!

With his own power, he managed to utterly and completely dominate Zhao Jun.

Even though Zhao Jun was not at his peak when Chu Yi unleashed his power, he was still a High Order Gold Level General. Even a non-peak Zhao Jun surpassed over ninety-nine percent of Middle Order Gold Generals.

And Chu Yi...

He single-handedly suppressed a peak Middle Order Gold General.

Throughout history, among all the top-tier geniuses Lee Zi was aware of, none had ever been as astoundingly powerful as Chu Yi.

Lee Zi, looking down at Chu Yi lying weakly in her arms, seemingly too drained to even speak, was filled with both shock and a deep sense of compassion.

It was heartbreaking.

Indeed, Chu Yi's recent surge of power had reduced Zhao Jun to tatters, leaving him utterly defenseless.

But the cost to Chu Yi was beyond imagination. Seeing him now, he appeared to be on the brink of death.
