The battle between Zhou Zhi and Luo Nian had been unequal from the very beginning.
Luo Nian was indeed immensely powerful. The [Lysosome] she had inherited from Ruan Yin, combined with the power of the past Plague Extermination system, had made her a top-tier Plague Exterminator.
She had concealed her true abilities until now, standing in the Pestilence World as the Luo Clan's matriarch.

Zhou Zhi seized Luo Nian's head.
It was somewhat cruel, but she
