130: The first battle of Qin Zhan Wushuang team

The sky was a clear blue, and the moon hung high in the air like a round disk, casting its clear radiance down and stretching the figures of the group.

Although there were many squads participating in the trial, entering the vast Pollution Zone was like a drop of water entering the ocean, vanishing without a trace.

As long as one wasn't aiming for first place, the chances of surviving if they just wanted some simple training were quite high.

About two hundred miles into the Pollution Zone, Xu Jingzhe sensed Vladimir hiding in the clouds, silently following him.

In order to get the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid to Wang Ning and Bo Qing as soon as possible, he went to Qin Shuang's side and whispered a few words.

Qin Shuang looked at him earnestly and said, "This is the only time. In team combat, you cannot leave the team without authorization for personal reasons."

Xu Jingzhe thanked her and watched the group move away.

Before long, Vladimir descended from the clouds, knelt on one knee, and said, "Honorable Master, long time no see. You have become even stronger!"

"This is the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid. Deliver it to the Contaminant Heng Yang in the Abandoned Land without stopping day or night."

Vladimir took the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid, flapped his wings, flew into the high sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

With the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid taken away, Xu Jingzhe felt a weight lift off his chest. He then quickened his pace to find Qin Shuang and the others.

"Swoosh!"

Just then, a cold light flashed, and a long saber appeared abruptly in front of Xu Jingzhe's neck. The saber moved extremely fast, leaving no room to dodge.

Xu Jingzhe's body tensed, and for that instant, his heart stopped beating.

A flash of inspiration!

He naturally used the Celestial Maiden's Drunken Steps from the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, narrowly avoiding this fatal strike at the critical moment.

The long saber grazed Xu Jingzhe's shoulder, drawing out a shower of sparks. A large part of his clothing was destroyed, revealing his Second-level Alloy Battle Suit!

"Clang!"

Xu Jingzhe backhanded his Black Gold Long Saber from his back, his right hand swinging it. Under the moonlight, the blade shimmered with a luster like dragon scales.

The two blades collided with a crisp, pleasant sound, and both retreated.

Xu Jingzhe tilted his head to look at his right shoulder; a deep white mark had been carved into the Second-level Alloy Battle Suit. It was evident how sharp the opponent's blade was. If it weren't for the Second-level Alloy Battle Suit, taking this strike with his bare flesh would surely have resulted in a wound deep enough to expose bone.

The assailant, having missed her fatal strike again, had a look of profound shock in her beautiful eyes.

It had only been a few months, yet this person's strength had increased so rapidly.

The last time she ambushed him, it was also a fatal strike, and her long saber had clearly touched him. Yet, at that very moment, she was unable to move, and he had luckily escaped.

She never expected it to be the same this time. She couldn't help but fall into deep doubt—had something gone wrong with her ninja techniques?

"Japanese Ninja!" Xu Jingzhe spat, mocking her, "It must have been you last time, too. I didn't expect you to dare come again."

"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving this time!"

Xu Jingzhe let out a low roar, brandished his Black Gold Long Saber, and the energy stored in his cells flowed through his limbs and bones. Pushing off the ground, he instantly arrived in front of the Japanese Ninja and slashed down with force.

She gripped her blade with both hands, moving from bottom to top, clashing with Xu Jingzhe's Black Gold Long Saber. The screech of metal on metal was piercing.

Xu Jingzhe was naturally very strong, and this strike, combined with the momentum of his dash, carried immense power.

This blow sent the Japanese Ninja flying back seven or eight meters! She only managed to steady herself by hitting a large rock behind her, and her right hand was trembling slightly.

The Japanese Ninja specialized in assassination; her blade techniques emphasized speed, precision, and ruthlessness, but she was far inferior to Xu Jingzhe in terms of raw strength.

"Lu Fei, where are you? Requesting reinforcements. We've encountered a strong opponent. Over."

Just then, Qin Shuang's anxious voice came through the miniature earpiece in his ear. It was clear the opponents they encountered were very strong.

Xu Jingzhe's expression turned cold. He pointed his Black Gold Long Saber at the Japanese Ninja, forced to abandon her, lowered his voice, and said, "Received. Over." He then turned and left quickly.

But!

The Japanese Ninja was unwilling to give up this opportunity. A puff of white smoke rose on the spot, and her figure vanished.

When she reappeared, her lithe figure was above and to the right of Xu Jingzhe. Her blade technique was eerie, fierce, and incredibly swift.

She slashed at Xu Jingzhe's head!

With a flash of light, the vigilant Xu Jingzhe dodged to the side and countered with a diagonal slash!

"Poof~"

White smoke rose, the Japanese Ninja's body disappeared, and Xu Jingzhe's strike missed.

With the sneak attack failing, the enemy was now on guard, making a second kill difficult.

According to the rules of a ninja, she had to retreat now.

But!

All she needed to do was drag this person out to buy more time for the Stephen Squad.

Xu Jingzhe missed his strike and didn't have time to look for her carefully. He quickened his pace, leaping continuously over the rocks.

But unexpectedly, the Japanese Ninja appeared again, still trying to ambush him.

Xu Jingzhe understood—she was trying to delay him and didn't want him to rendezvous with the other four members of the team!

He kept a cold face, his golden pollution core energy erupted, his speed instantly increased to 200 meters per second, and he vanished from the spot.

The Japanese Ninja slowly revealed her true form on a large rock, shaking her head and sighing.

As an assassin, she had failed. She hadn't killed him before he grew up, and it would be even harder to kill him in the future.

Because she had never seen a Contaminator grow so rapidly!

His strength increased faster than a rocket taking off.

Five minutes later, Xu Jingzhe arrived at the battlefield.

At this moment, the area was a mess, littered with broken stones and large craters that were still emitting wisps of white vapor—clearly the result of using thermal weapons.

Bai Binger was hiding in the shadows, not appearing on the main battlefield.

The opponents were the same; all four stood in different positions, their modified bodies gleaming with a metallic luster.

"From Adam City?" Xu Jingzhe asked.

"Yes, Bruce had them stay behind to intercept us," Qin Shuang said in a deep voice.

"You encountered an attacker too?" Qin Shuang noticed Xu Jingzhe's damaged clothing, her eyes flaring with coldness. The blade marks on his alloy battle suit were clearly visible.

"Let's deal with these people first," he said.

The leader of the Stephen Squad was named Yakos. Both of his arms had been modified into mechanical arms, and his right eye was a mechanical eye. His mechanical eye rotated, locking onto Xu Jingzhe.

Furthermore, red light points flickered as it analyzed Xu Jingzhe's comprehensive strength.

However, this comprehensive strength was only on-paper strength and could only serve as a reference.

"Lu Fei, you and I will be the main attackers. Zheng Peng, use your tentacle ability to harass them from the side. Yang Shuang, support Binger while looking for the sniper's position!" After Qin Shuang finished giving orders, she looked at Xu Jingzhe.

Xu Jingzhe nodded to her, the powerful strength stored within his body erupted, and he pushed off the ground, charging toward Yakos.

A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Yakos's mouth. He stood on high ground, extended his right hand, and clenched it into a fist.

Intricate internal mechanical parts rotated silently, and two holes appeared.

"Rat-tat-tat!"

A dense hail of bullets was fired at Xu Jingzhe.

Xu Jingzhe remained calm in the face of danger. With the Black Gold Long Saber in hand, overlapping shadows appeared, and the bullets were knocked down one after another!

The corner of Yakos's mouth curled even higher. These country bumpkins from Nüwa City didn't know what technology was.

He whispered, "BOOM!"

Suddenly, the bullets that Xu Jingzhe had knocked down at his feet exploded.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

One after another, the ground shook, and billowing smoke covered Xu Jingzhe's body.
