The thunderous storm erupted with blinding light, its shockwaves threatening to shatter the void.
The radiance forced all the disciples to close their eyes, and even from such a distance, they felt their hearts pound.
The storm raged for over ten seconds before finally subsiding. As it dissipated, both the dark clouds and the black mist were completely swept away.
Only a clear, empty expanse remained in the sky.
At this moment, a figure plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground. Kuai Shu Ge.
Meanwhile, Wu Tian remained standing in the high heavens, the phantom image of the Thunder God behind him slowly fading.
He appeared to have suffered minimal exhaustion, his breathing even calm.
He descended gracefully and walked up to Su Dong, his expression cold as he spoke, "I said one move, and it was only one move."
"Now, are you convinced?"
Su Dong lay on the ground, almost reduced to a bloody mess.
When he first arrived, his demonic energy was abundant, but now, even sustaining his life was a struggle.
"How could… this happen…"
He managed to say, "It shouldn't… this, this shouldn't be…"
Even after suffering such a severe blow, he still found it difficult to accept his current predicament.
After all, regardless of how one looked at it, his strength was equivalent to a Five-Revolutions Golden Immortal, placing him on the same level as Wu Tian.
Yet, Wu Tian had crushed him to such an extent. This was something even a Six-Revolutions Golden Immortal likely couldn't achieve.
With a casual wave of his hand, Wu Tian sent Su Dong flying, who then landed before Lei Zhengxuan.
Wu Tian walked over and said, "Sect Master Lei, this is a traitor to the Sacred Thunder Sect, and he should be dealt with by you."
"Therefore, whether you kill him or skin him, the decision is yours."
Seeing Su Dong injured to such an extent, Lei Zhengxuan was utterly shocked.
According to his understanding, this demonic creature possessed astonishing combat power, capable of contending with two experts of the same level single-handedly.
Although Wu Tian had also reached the Five-Revolutions Golden Immortal stage, in his eyes, it should have been a hard-fought battle.
Yet, Wu Tian had resolved it so easily, which was simply unbelievable.
With his seasoned experience, he quickly discerned that Wu Tian's current combat prowess was likely comparable to that of a Seven-Revolutions Golden Immortal.
This young fellow was truly terrifying!
However, this was also a good thing for him, as Wu Tian was, in a sense, part of the Sacred Thunder Sect.
The stronger Wu Tian became, the more prosperous the Sacred Thunder Sect would be.
Subsequently, Lei Zhengxuan shifted his gaze to Su Dong, his expression immediately turning grim.
"Su Dong, do you have anything you want to say now?"
With Su Dong beaten into such a state, he no longer dared to confront Lei Zhengxuan aggressively.
His heart was filled with fear, and despite the intense pain throughout his body, he forced himself to beg for mercy:
"Sect Master… Sect Master, save me…"
Seeing Su Dong still dare to utter such words, Lei Zhengxuan's anger flared.
He roared furiously, "Sect Master? You still dare to call me Sect Master?!"
"Originally, imprisoning you for fifty years was the greatest mercy I could show. Yet, you committed such an act. Do you think you have any chance of surviving today?"
Su Dong, being cowardly and fearing death, was naturally desperate to live.
His eyes vacant, he said, "I know I was wrong… Disciple… I truly know I was wrong…"
"I beg you to spare my life. I… I am willing to be imprisoned. I don't want to die…"
Lei Zhengxuan had always been a benevolent leader towards his disciples; otherwise, he wouldn't have lessened Su Dong's punishment before.
But with Su Dong committing such a heinous act, how could he possibly let him off?
Therefore, he stated coldly, "You don't need to say anything more to me. You are no longer a disciple of the Sacred Thunder Sect, nor are you even considered human."
"You are merely a demonic creature."
"Exterminating demons and upholding righteousness is my responsibility, so you don't need to waste any more words. Prepare to die."
Seeing Lei Zhengxuan's resolute attitude, Su Dong understood that pleading with him was futile.
His gaze searched around, finally settling on Lei Qianjiao.
Instantly, he seemed to grasp a lifeline.
He hurriedly said again, "Senior Sister… Senior Sister… You must save me…"
"I am your junior brother. How… how can you just watch me like this? Save me… quick, save me…"
Given Lei Qianjiao's relationship with Su Dong, in the past, she might have felt a pang of compassion.
But things were different now. In the Thunder God Immortal Realm, she had witnessed how cruel demonic creatures were.
Countless cultivators had perished under the brutal methods of those demonic corpses.
And Su Dong, having abandoned his human dignity to merge with a demonic creature, was acting against the natural order!
A chill settled on her beautiful face, and her tone turned sharp as she said, "I do not have a junior brother like you."
"You are no longer related to me in any way, so whether you live or die is of no concern to me."
"The thought that I once treated you like a younger brother makes me sick!"
With that, Lei Qianjiao shifted her body, not even wanting to spare another glance at Su Dong.
Su Dong's already pale face seemed to turn even more ashen.
At this moment, Lei Zhengxuan said coldly, "Enough, the time for idle talk is over. You can depart now."
As he spoke, intense lightning flickered on Lei Zhengxuan's right hand.
Seeing this, fueled by a desperate will to survive, Su Dong surprisingly managed to get up as if in a final burst of energy. He then knelt before Lei Zhengxuan, desperately pleading:
"Sect Master, Sect Master! Please reconsider!"
"This is truly not my fault. It was that demonic creature, that damned demonic creature that bewitched me!"
"I didn't want to do this. Please believe me, you must believe me!"
Lei Zhengxuan's heart was as hard as iron at this moment. No matter how Su Dong tried to quibble, he had no intention of showing leniency.
He didn't want to say anything more; the lightning in his hand was already intensifying.
Seeing this, Su Dong's face twitched slightly, and he immediately felt regret.
However, his regret was not for merging with the demonic creature, but for not having endured and first cultivated his strength to a higher realm.
If he had, when he returned, who in the Sacred Thunder Sect would have been able to stop him?
As Lei Zhengxuan prepared to strike, under the immense pressure, a fierce killing intent surged in his eyes.
He whispered, as if gnashing his teeth and sucking blood, "You old bastard, I've said all I can, but you insist on killing me, don't you?"
"Since that's the case, you won't live either!"
A furious roar erupted from Su Dong's throat.
Immediately, Su Dong gathered his last bit of demonic energy and slammed it fiercely towards Lei Zhengxuan's abdomen!
"Sect Master!"
Upon witnessing this, everyone was greatly alarmed!
