172: One Arrow to the Soul

Chapter 171: One Arrow Pierces the Soul

Such great power made Tang Ruyi narrow her eyes.

She knew Xu Jingzhe's strength; compared to him, it was not inferior.

The kinetic energy of these modified mechanical legs was surprisingly powerful; the internal precision must be at the highest level currently on Blue Star.

The Black Gold Long Saber blades rotated silently, slicing through the earth, sending gravel flying.

Gardes' eyes held disdain as he took the initiative to attack Xu Jingzhe.

Xu Jingzhe rose from the pile of gravel, calmly watching the arrogant Gardes.

He unleashed the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, utilizing the energy stored within his cells.

Abandoning the Black Gold Long Saber, he fought with wide, sweeping movements, every punch heavy and powerful.

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

The Black Gold Long Saber blades cut through from different angles.

Unable to block them head-on, Xu Jingzhe dodged using Celestial Maiden's Drunken Steps, finding the gaps in Gardes' kicks with every punch to strike the inner side of the mechanical legs.

It produced a deafening sound.

However, the mechanical legs, equipped with various auxiliary kinetic devices, not only had a hard alloy shell but also shock-absorbing functions.

Even though Xu Jingzhe's punches carried the force of ten thousand catties, the power was broken down layer by layer, becoming practically negligible.

"Heh..." Gardes sneered coldly, showing great disdain for Xu Jingzhe's attacks.

Foolish... Pangu City and Nüwa City.

How could they think that Old Arts could defeat the most advanced technology on Blue Star?

How could flesh and blood compete with various technologies? It was wishful thinking.

The sharp Black Gold Long Saber blades carried a cold arc of light, and a large rock beside Xu Jingzhe split silently within this silver arc.

The cut was unbelievably smooth, like a meticulously polished lens.

Xu Jingzhe retreated again and again, golden blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The golden pollution core had not yet fully fused and was still cracked in small parts, causing blood to spill from his mouth from time to time, making him look like a consumptive.

Gardes saw this and believed that Xu Jingzhe had injured his internal organs from the earlier violent strike, so his leg attacks became increasingly rapid.

The battlefield between the two quickly expanded.

Before long, the dense grass had been completely shaved clean, leaving a 'Mediterranean' patch that looked out of place against the waist-high weeds nearby.

After hundreds of punches, Xu Jingzhe's fists were aching, having failed to cause any substantial damage to Gardes' mechanical legs.

He stepped back using Celestial Maiden's Drunken Steps, instantly putting distance between himself and Gardes.

"Humble wretch, still fantasizing about the invincibility of the flesh."

Omega Squad's Donald Mi mocked.

He had pure golden hair, a high bridge of his nose, and distinct facial features, priding himself on being from the noble Donald family lineage and being the purest and most outstanding of the younger generation in terms of looks.

His strength was enough to contend with a 25-year Contaminator without falling behind.

His arms were modified with alloys, and every nerve from his original arms was restored perfectly within the mechanical arms, at a high cost.

Not only that, but his heart and brain had also undergone technological modification.

The modified brain granted him super-sensitive reaction capabilities, allowing him to keep his mind clear during intense fights and seek out the enemy's weaknesses.

"They will never understand the technology of Adam City and Eve City," Deris said with a cold snort from her upturned nose.

She had a hot body and good skills, with many admirers in Eve City.

Xu Jingzhe took a deep breath, shook his arms, and looked at Gardes' alloy legs.

Seeing not a single dent, he asked doubtfully, "You aren't using Grade 2 alloy?"

Gardes moved his mechanical legs and said very arrogantly, "Of course it's not ordinary Grade 2 alloy. It is Grade 2 alloy that has been soaked five times in Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid, and its performance in all aspects has been super-enhanced."

"If it weren't for the limits on the strength and toughness of Grade 2 alloy, my 'battle merits' would definitely have been enough to last until the Grade 2 alloy transformed into Grade 3 alloy."

Xu Jingzhe nodded, understanding why even his physical strength could not leave a mark on these metallic-lustrous mechanical legs.

Moon Soil Evolution Fluid could not only improve a person's overall physical quality but also do the same for materials.

It was just... this was the first time he had encountered a ruthless person like Gardes who had actually soaked it five times.

Xu Jingzhe pondered for a few seconds, then grinned, his teeth snow-white.

Since Gardes had used all the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid he had obtained to upgrade his mechanical legs, his physical strength must be average.

Then... I wonder if he can withstand one arrow from Yi?

He muttered under his breath, simultaneously extending his right hand to draw circles in the air.

After ten circles, he formed a strange gesture and let out a low roar: "Yi!"

Ritual Arts, used for the first time, almost drained one-third of the energy in his body.

Suddenly, strong winds raged in this space, and the boundless grassland churned like giant green pythons.

Countless amounts of energy surged here from all directions, and the elements in the air rioted, causing clouds to continuously accumulate and change into various shapes.

"Pop~"

A speck of golden light appeared, moving with the wind across the vast, boundless green grassland.

Although it was a golden particle only the size of a little finger, the light it emitted was not dazzling.

Yet, it somehow made one capture it immediately.

It drifted without rules, yet it had its own direction.

Floating, floating, it landed behind Xu Jingzhe's head.

Instantly!

A myriad of rays of light shone!

Countless golden particles emerged, and a hundred-meter-long golden phantom stood behind Xu Jingzhe, its aura astonishing.

Tang Ruyi looked at the burial god, Yi, behind Xu Jingzhe.

She sighed in her heart repeatedly; this was Ritual Arts.

As soon as it appeared, winds and clouds surged, the heavens and earth changed color; it was even cooler than Ancient Battle Skill, making one intoxicated by its might.

As more and more energy was summoned from heaven and earth, the golden phantom became increasingly solid, yet its facial features remained unclear, very blurry.

The four members of Omega Squad all changed expressions, looking in shock at this hundred-meter-tall golden phantom.

Deris was the first to react, unleashing her protective ability.

From her hot and sexy body, two streams of transparent water rushed out, flowing smoothly in the air like silk.

The water streams arrived in front of Gardes, forming a large circular water sphere that enveloped him, greatly enhancing his defensive power.

Inside the water sphere, the water flowed, making Gardes appear unreal, like a dream or illusion.

Yi opened his palm, and a golden longbow appeared in his hand.

Drawing the bow.

Blood mist filled the air, the earth trembled slightly, and the elements were extremely chaotic, rioting, and colliding.

The sniper hiding in the shadows discovered with horror that the scope could not penetrate the blood mist; instead, it was less clear than the naked eye.

Moreover, the various data monitored on the top right corner of the scope had numbers jumping crazily; the instruments were severely interfered with, and the miniature earpiece also had the noise of electrical current.

A twenty-meter-long blood-colored arrow condensed, and space itself trembled.

"Whoosh!"

The blood-colored arrow left the string, carrying a long blood-colored trail, locking onto Gardes.

Wherever it passed, ghosts wailed and wolves howled.

Gardes was scared out of his wits, as if tightly grabbed by an invisible giant hand, unable to move; even trying to activate the buttons on his alloy combat suit was impossible.

"Puff!"

The twenty-meter-long blood-colored arrow accurately hit Gardes' chest, and the water sphere protecting him exploded, turning into various molecules and dissipating in the air.

The huge impact force carried Gardes flying across the vast grassland, accompanied by blood filling the sky.

One Arrow Pierces the Soul!
