141: Polluters attack
The remaining two coordinated perfectly and dodged simultaneously, the lightning striking Xu Jingzhe squarely in the chest.
"Crack!" The terrifying force sent him flying several miles, dragging a long, deep trench through the desert.
Yellow sand covered the ground, burying him.
"Cough..." Blood spilled from the corner of Xu Jingzhe's mouth. He touched his chest; his Second-level Alloy Battle Suit had cracked.
The center was sunken, with cracks spreading in all directions.
"I'll go after those four; you two deal with that kid." Jian's long legs were dazzlingly white, and she moved with great speed.
"Boom!" Xu Jingzhe burst out from the sand. With a few leaps, covering hundreds of meters per step, he blocked Jian's path.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression grave.
As expected of the Eve Five Princesses, who stood on par with the Adam Five; her strength was excessively formidable.
At the same time, he realized the true gap between himself and the Adam Five was actually that vast.
"Scram!" Jian said coldly.
Xu Jingzhe assumed a starting stance, unleashed the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, and launched a heavy punch.
A sneer of mockery and disdain appeared on Jian's exquisite face as she pressed the metal bracelet on her wrist.
With continuous "clanking" sounds, a golden hue slowly emerged from her shoes, wrapping around her legs like ribbons, spreading upward until it covered her entire body up to her neck.
This was the battle suit crafted by Eve City, also a Second-level Alloy Battle Suit.
However, it was clearly more than a notch above the battle suits crafted by the Qin Family, with its decomposition and application of the alloy reaching the extreme.
With the battle suit equipped, Jian's overall capabilities were enhanced in every aspect.
She opened her palm, and with a crackling sound, an electric whip appeared in Jian's hand.
Her ability was to control lightning, though she could not yet control it freely with her current strength.
The existence of the Second-level Alloy Battle Suit helped her achieve this skill.
She lashed out at the attacking Xu Jingzhe.
"Whoosh!" Xu Jingzhe dodged to the side, but the electric whip struck his damaged alloy battle suit, sending sparks flying like molten iron.
Accompanied by a powerful electric current, the shock left Xu Jingzhe's entire body numb.
With his movements hindered and his body stiff, Jian arrived in an instant and delivered another violent punch to Xu Jingzhe's chest.
"Boom!" Xu Jingzhe was sent flying, tumbling several times in the air.
Jian did not let up. Wearing the Second-level Alloy Battle Suit, her figure was as nimble as a swallow, and the all-around enhancement turned her into a streak of light.
Catching up to the tumbling Xu Jingzhe, she delivered a knee strike to his abdomen, sending him flying high into the air again just as he was starting to fall.
Jian's blonde hair shone like gold in the sunlight, matching her golden battle suit perfectly.
Her long legs exerted force as she leaped high, delivering another violent blow to Xu Jingzhe's chest.
"Pfft..." Crimson blood sprayed across the sky, splattering onto the golden sand, where it evaporated under the scorching heat of the sun.
With another whip-like side kick, she struck Xu Jingzhe, driving him straight into the sand. His battle suit was left in tatters, with metal fragments scattered everywhere, glistening on the sand like stars fallen into the sea.
"Lightning!" Jian raised her right hand high. Her golden hair danced, her legs were spread shoulder-width apart, and arcs of electricity wrapped around her body, making her look like a golden Valkyrie.
"No!" Avril arrived, locking eyes with Jian, and spread her arms to stop her.
She wanted to keep a live captive for sparring practice.
"Avril, you and Angela go after the remaining members of the Qin Family!"
"Jian, leave him alive. His body is very strong; it's worth exploring," Avril said.
"Boom!" The lightning finished charging, spanning half the sky. It was several hundred meters long, as thick as a water vat, and crashed down heavily.
Dust and sand filled the sky for two miles around, making it impossible to tell north from south.
"You want a sparring partner? My lightning can help you temper your body, day or night." Jian shoved Avril aside and chased after the direction the others had fled.
But! Her steps stopped again. Several hundred meters ahead, a bloodied figure appeared.
His battle suit was shattered to pieces, hanging off his body, and several conspicuous, bleeding holes were visible. He stood there, his figure slightly hunched, like a monument, shocking to behold.
This man was like an unkillable cockroach, buying time for his teammates to escape again and again.
"Hmph!" "On Blue Star, below the strength of a Contaminant, there are only ten monuments!" "The Adam Five and the Eve Five Princesses; everyone else is trash."
Avril wanted to step forward to stop her, but after a glare from Jian, she retracted her hand.
Xu Jingzhe left a bloody footprint with every step, staining the sand beneath him red. His pace was heavy yet firm. Jian did the same, and the two moved toward each other like they were rushing to meet.
His golden pollution core was nearly burning, and the cells within his body were being squeezed, with wisps of golden light enveloping Xu Jingzhe's entire body.
Yet, no one noticed this wisp of golden light; it was normal for such an effect to appear with the sunlight shining on the sand.
Closer. The distance between the two grew smaller and smaller. Ten meters. Nine meters.
Their momentum was rising, and the energy fluctuations radiating from them caused the surrounding sand to jump continuously.
Five meters. Four meters.
The energy erupting from within Xu Jingzhe made Jian's eyelids twitch. Her golden Second-level Alloy Battle Suit's defense was fully activated, and her energy amplification reached fifty percent.
In other words, assuming Jian's normal punch had a force of one thousand catties, wearing the battle suit gave it a force of one thousand five hundred catties—an increase of half.
Three meters. Two meters.
Jian threw her punch with full force, smashing toward Xu Jingzhe's handsome face, which was stained with blood.
"Time Stop." Xu Jingzhe's voice was terrifyingly calm.
Two seconds was enough for him.
He struck her near-perfect face with his elbow. With such immense force, she could not move, and her cheek took the full impact.
Following that, he used the "Dongbin Draws His Sword" technique, delivering a hand-blade strike to her smooth forehead.
Because the only part her Second-level Alloy Battle Suit did not cover was her beautiful face!
"Bang!" A modified bullet arrived just as Xu Jingzhe launched his second strike. It stopped the moment it entered the two-meter radius around Xu Jingzhe.
It wasn't just the bullet; the remaining three also rushed over, unleashing their respective abilities.
They didn't understand what was happening; Jian seemed bewitched, standing blankly on the spot, allowing Xu Jingzhe to attack.
Xu Jingzhe turned and flicked his finger, sending the bullet flying away.
Two seconds. Time was up. Xu Jingzhe leaped up and kicked Jian in her high chest, sending her flying thousands of meters away.
He half-knelt on the ground, panting heavily, waiting for the judgment of the "Doomsday."
There was only ten percent of his strength left in his body; he couldn't dodge at all.
"Boom!" Just then, an even more violent force arrived suddenly, like a bomb, earth-shattering, as if the entire ground was shaking.
The abilities unleashed by the others all collapsed, shattering into pieces in the air.
A giant over ten meters tall appeared, holding a weapon made from polished boulders and shaped like a bone.
On his shoulder sat a man whose age could not be determined, looking spirited and vibrant.
The moment he appeared, Xu Jingzhe found it difficult to breathe; the powerful aura was pressing down, causing the space itself to distort.
The Contaminant! Attacks!
