Uchiha Madara relentlessly kicked the disheveled Bude through the skies above the Imperial Capital. Amidst the astonished gazes of the Capital's populace, he effortlessly sent him flying straight past the Imperial Capital's walls.
Staring blankly at the direction of the receding purple lightning, the people of the Imperial Capital below were utterly silent.
The patrolling army and garrison were the first to react. They cried out in alarm, hastily attempting to formulate a defense while reporting upwards. After all, it was a major incident for the Imperial General to be beaten so badly. Without knowing the enemy's identity, they couldn't act rashly and could only report to their superiors for a decision.
Uchiha Madara and Bude stirred up a minor commotion in the Imperial Capital once again.
However, this didn't hinder Uchiha Madara's desire to torment Bude.
Kicking Bude as they flew beyond the Imperial Capital, Uchiha Madara lost count of how many times he'd struck him. He noticed that below them, the scenery had shifted from the Imperial Capital to the forests outside its borders.
He paused his relentless assault. Uchiha Madara faced Bude, gathering power in his right leg as intense purple lightning crackled around it.
Finally, Uchiha Madara's body spun in the air like a gymnast. With his power fully charged, he unleashed a kick infused with overwhelming force and terrifying lightning, striking Bude's chest from above!
Boom! Lightning screeched violently as a terrifying impact erupted in the air, the enormous sound echoing through the sky!
Bude spat out a mouthful of blood mid-air, sent plummeting downwards by Uchiha Madara's kick. His massive form plummeted from the sky with a whoosh, slamming into the ground and creating a large crater riddled with cracks. Dust billowed, and the earth fractured.
The tremendous crash of Bude's impact startled the birds in the forest, sending them scattering in all directions.
Still wreathed in purple lightning, Uchiha Madara slowly descended from the sky, landing on the ground. He stared expressionlessly at the crater where Bude had fallen.
Shaking his head, Uchiha Madara said, "Though you're a second-rate product, you're still a General. Bude, I refuse to believe you'd be killed by my casual kicks. Am I right?"
As if in response to Uchiha Madara's voice, an arm suddenly shot out from the center of the crater!
Next, the disheveled figure of Bude, trembling, crawled out of the pit.
Uchiha Madara glanced at Bude.
Bude's current appearance was a far cry from his usual dignified General persona. He was utterly pathetic.
Filthy from head to toe, his dark armor was shattered in multiple places, especially the raven-black chest plate around the chest area, which was even more severely fractured. Numerous footprints marked his chest armor.
Bude hunched over, eyes bloodshot, his face marred by bloody wounds. Several of his front teeth were missing.
Seeing him like this, the dignified Imperial General was truly a sorry sight.
Suddenly straightening his back, Bude roared furiously at Uchiha Madara,
"Uchiha Madara... you are far too dangerous! Someone as rebellious as you... to possess such terrifying power... I absolutely cannot let a ticking time bomb like you get away! Today, I will eliminate this threat for His Majesty!"
As Bude roared, his Imperial Arms activated once more, dense blue lightning surging around his body, crackling and exploding!
Uchiha Madara raised an eyebrow. Purple lightning erupted around his own body once again, clashing against Bude's blue lightning.
Blue against purple, the two lightning energies faced off. Although they appeared evenly matched, a closer look revealed the imperceptible gap between them.
Bude howled to the sky, emitting blue lightning from his entire body.
Uchiha Madara remained silent, his purple lightning radiating extraordinary power.
The blue lightning around Bude was dense but thin.
The purple lightning around Uchiha Madara was thick and violent.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see the difference between their strength. It wasn't something that could be compensated with sheer skill.
However, the stubborn Bude completely ignored all of this. In his eyes, nothing was more important than eliminating the threat of Uchiha Madara.
Gritting his teeth, he roared furiously, the blue lightning around him growing even denser. Bude stared intently at Uchiha Madara, his eyes bloodshot.
"Uchiha Madara, perish in the Thunder God's Wrath! Receive the judgment of Adramelech! Infinite... Plasma Burst!"
With a wave of both hands, Bude condensed the blue lightning around him into countless plasma projectiles, bombarding Uchiha Madara!
Narrowing his eyes, Uchiha Madara instantly recognized the true nature of these seemingly powerful plasma projectiles. They were far too weak. Uchiha Madara didn't even feel the need to dodge.
Closing his eyes, Uchiha Madara murmured softly.
"Thousand Birds Style..."
The purple lightning around Uchiha Madara crackled and screeched, undergoing a transformation. It condensed and spread across the surface of Uchiha Madara's body, completely covering him from head to toe.
Countless plasma projectiles rained down on Uchiha Madara, instantly engulfing his figure in a storm of explosions. Flashes of blue lightning, bursts of destructive energy, and shockwaves of light completely swallowed Uchiha Madara's form in an instant.
Bude continued to roar, his arms swinging wildly, each swing unleashing a plasma projectile. He continued to bombard Uchiha Madara relentlessly with a barrage of attacks!
This plasma projectile barrage continued for a full three minutes.
After three minutes, Bude's stamina was severely depleted, leaving him struggling to support himself. He propped his hands on his knees, panting heavily, his eyes fixed on the opposite side.
On the opposite side, the smoke and dust from the barrage still lingered.
Bude was eager to know the effect of his attack.
In reality, Bude himself didn't realize that he was already afraid of Uchiha Madara. Otherwise, he wouldn't have desperately unleashed a barrage of plasma projectiles for three minutes straight, and he wouldn't be so eager to know the results of his attack now.
Anyone could guess the outcome. How could such a seemingly powerful attack have any effect on Uchiha Madara?
