Was the volcano about to erupt?
The office building shook to such an extent that it seemed like it would snap in half at any moment. Zhan Ji was swaying left and right, her vision spinning. But half a second later, she successfully controlled the floating camera to fly out of the window. From a vertical angle, she captured part of the explosive scene from the 50th floor of the office building.
This surging scene fully demonstrated Zhan Ji's ability to capture the camera after years of seeking death.
Of course, at this time, no one would think that much. Most of the viewers in the livestream could only stare dumbfounded at the high-rise office building. From the base to the top, half of the building had been washed by the shockwaves of flames and lightning.
From this scene, it could be seen that Jin Tong had been struck from the 75th floor all the way to the surface. He was more than 300 meters high, and the floor slabs, steel bars, metal frames, and so on were destroyed.
Moreover, this did not include the number of people who might have died inside the building.
This was a battle between Extraordinaries.
For most of the viewers in the livestream who paid attention to the battle results, this was not the first time they had seen Extraordinaries spar, fight, or even fight to the death. But that was because they had to rely on advanced video technology to watch relevant videos, highlights, and so on. There were less than a hundred Extraordinaries in the world, so it was impossible for them to be their livestream guests all the time. A very small number of people would occasionally be lucky enough to see a live broadcast, which was enough for them to savor for three to five years.
But now, a true Extraordinary-Level battle was unfolding in front of their eyes. On one side was "Iron Hoop" Jin Tong, one of the strongest Wild Hunters in the world. As for the other side, the name Jin Tong shouted had already revealed who his opponent was.
Her Majesty Empress Wu!
Ever since her battle with the High Priestess of the Public Church two months ago, announcing to the world that she had become an Extraordinary, Her Majesty Empress Wu had finally revealed her Extraordinary power to the world once again.
Compared to the unfathomable mysteries on the spiritual level, there was no doubt that the current scene of buildings collapsing and mountains shaking was more in line with the aesthetics of the general public.
Under the constant shaking of the camera, the number of viewers in Zhan Ji's livestream broke through from 15,000 to 20,000 in just a few seconds. Then, it continued to skyrocket. By the time the dust at the bottom of the stairs blocked everyone's view, the number of viewers watching the dust-filled scene had already exceeded 28,000.
This had already exceeded 40% of the Society's membership. On one hand, one could see how attractive a battle between Extraordinaries was. On the other hand, one could see that the Xia City Disturbance possessed an astonishing level of popularity. This was the reason why such a large number of spectators could explode in such a short period of time.
Zhan Ji had not paid attention to the situation in the live broadcast room for a long time. In a dangerous building that could collapse at any moment, she could only try her best to calm her heartbeat. At the same time, she prayed to the gods around her, hoping that the main battlefield between the two Extraordinaries would appear in the area her camera could cover.
Of course, this was just wishful thinking. For Extraordinaries, the topography of an office building was never a reason to restrain them from using Form Displacement and Transposition. If they wanted to, the entire Xia City would become their battlefield. How could a puny little streamer determine the direction for two Extraordinaries?
But just as Zhan Ji was gasping for breath and praying, someone suddenly grabbed her by the shoulder. The person's posture was very intimate, and he even blew a breath of air into her earlobe. "Oh, Zhan Ji. Don't be nervous. A beautiful and dedicated streamer like you is very rare in this world. The heavens will certainly make your wishes come true. "
"Major General Tian!" Zhan Ji didn't care that Tian Bang was taking advantage of her. She was just angry that this fellow had disturbed her work.
Tian Bang chuckled as he stuck close to her. He continued to give her advice. "You must hold the camera firmly. You can't miss out on a wonderful scene."
What did he mean?
Zhan Ji was stunned for a moment. Then, she saw a blurry figure soar into the sky amidst the dust and smoke that filled the sky. It was Jin Tong.
Given Zhan Ji's strength, it would be very difficult for her to keep up with the speed of an Extraordinary if she really wanted to dash forward like a hurricane. This was the case even with the assistance of a camera worth millions.
But at this moment, Zhan Ji could clearly see Jin Tong's figure soar into the sky. She also saw the figure's speed grow slower and slower. It was as if his momentum had come to an end, but it was more like he was being forcefully restrained by some invisible force …
It was clearly not the gravity of Earth. It was an even more unyielding and direct force, an even more terrifying and tyrannical force.
In the next second, Zhan Ji saw Jin Tong, who had reached the end of his ascending momentum, become like a deformed baseball. He was fiercely struck by an invisible club. A powerful force poured into him, sending him flying. His speed had increased explosively by more than ten times, a hundred times!
In the face of such a terrifying acceleration, the originally continuous footage became disjointed. In that instant, the vast majority of people only heard the sound of an explosion. They saw the cloud of the sonic boom explode and the dust and smoke in that area disappear. Jin Tong's figure had disappeared.
Zhan Ji's vision blurred. She could no longer see Jin Tong's figure.
"Here." At this time, Tian Bang, who was still maintaining an intimate posture, gently held the back of her neck. He exerted a little force and gestured for her to shift her line of sight. The corresponding camera also shifted accordingly.
Half a second later, the tens of millions of dollars' worth of camera automatically focused. It happened to capture the figure that was fiercely bounced off the glass wall of the building a block away.
Bounced?
That's right, bounced. This scene …
The awkward scene almost made some of the OCD viewers vomit blood. Zhan Ji's logical thinking was also almost messed up.
Fortunately, she was definitely not a vase that only knew how to act cute. On the contrary, she was an excellent streamer with very solid professional knowledge. While most people were still doubting their own eyesight because of the absurd scene in front of them, Zhan Ji had already calculated the kinetic energy that Jin Tong carried at that moment based on the distance between the two buildings, the "flight" time of Jin Tong, and his approximate weight.
Jin Tong's weight was about 80 kilograms, and his flight time was about 0.5 seconds. He was already a block away, and the straight-line distance was about 1,800 meters … Based on this calculation, the kinetic energy he carried could reach about 500 million joules. This impact exceeded the standard equivalent of 100 kilograms. It was similar to the power of a traditional battleship's main cannon from more than a century ago.
Compared to the legendary "humanoid nuclear bomb" level Extraordinaire, the absolute power of this attack was only so-so. Zhan Ji also couldn't calculate the specific increase in the mental interference with the material plane.
But the problem was that even if she only calculated the pure kinetic energy, such a high-speed impact actually didn't break through the glass wall one block away!
This was something that shouldn't happen in the normal world. Since it had already happened, it proved that the rules of the area she saw had already invisibly changed.
Did the building suddenly get strengthened, or did Her Majesty Empress Wu directly change the direction of the force? She couldn't get an answer, but the direct result of this scene was:
All the pressure brought about by the conversion of kinetic energy was borne by Jin Tong's body to the greatest extent.
Being hit by a main cannon and having a cannonball explode in the stomach were two different things.
If a standard equivalent of 10 kilograms was effectively used on a coin, without considering the wear and tear of the coin itself and its travel route, it could theoretically make this thing fly out of the Milky Way galaxy.
Ten times the force was used on Jin Tong's body without holding anything back. Even an Extraordinary would find it hard to endure such a tragic result.
With a puff, blood splattered out of Jin Tong's eyes, ears, and nose. His eyeballs were about to pop out, and his thin and long face was contorted from the pain. His exposed skin was instantly smeared with a layer of red, and it was unknown how many of his capillaries and skin tissues had collapsed.
As for the extent of the damage to his internal organs and bones, only Jin Tong himself knew.
It was very difficult for outsiders to see the limits of an Extraordinary. Just like at this moment, Jin Tong was suffering from all sorts of injuries. But in the blink of an eye, a hoarse and violent roar rang out. Jin Tong screamed as he curled up and shot out with all his might.
"Ahhhhh!" The roar spread out, but what really made people's scalps go numb was another source of sound.
In the void, it was as if hundreds of bowstrings had been released. Amidst this increasingly dense tremor, be it the building or the air a street away, everything produced dizzying distortions. There was another explosive rumble, and Jin Tong's body instantly turned into a tangible bubble before disappearing.
Tian Bang's hand moved again, and Zhan Ji consciously looked up in the direction of the force. She saw that in the gray sky, a long azure scar had been torn open at some point. It extended southeast, and wherever it passed, a dark red color seeped out.
Jin Tong had probably activated some kind of long-distance escape technique. In the blink of an eye, he had already traversed dozens of kilometers and was almost out at sea.
He ran away just like that?
The battle between Transcendents had ended?
Zhan Ji was a little dumbfounded by this anticlimactic ending, and so were the 30,000 viewers in the livestream channel. It wasn't until the long scar was about to disappear into the horizon that a large number of bullet comments appeared.
"What's going on?"
"Jin Tong has typed GG."
"Her Majesty Empress Wu has also typed GG."
"Jin Tong says that Xia City is too hard. He can't break through."
"I must've seen a fake livestream."
"But that fall just now really hurts."
"Accelerating from zero to ten times the speed of sound in an instant, and then returning to zero in an instant. Just what kind of experience is that?"
"Teacher Jin Tong can give lessons in the future and impart his experiences … but does he really know how Her Majesty Empress Wu did it?"
The surging bullet comments were already mixed in with the comments of many powerhouses. There was no lack of mockery and ridicule among them.
It was true that Jin Tong's performance today was worse than dog shit. From start to finish, one of the best wilderness hunters in the world had been completely controlled by Her Majesty Empress Wu. He had completely lost the rhythm he should've had … Was Jin Tong not at his best, or was Her Majesty Empress Wu's strength beyond imagination?
