179: Tucker City

Chapter 178 Tark City

Xu Jingzhe stood on a large rock, his figure tall and slender, his incredibly handsome face full of indifference, surrounded by black mist.

This contrast made him look like a god or demon walking out of hell.

He stood on the large rock for a whole day before returning to the bottom of the abyss.

"You haven't eaten, drunk, or seen anyone; I was worried something might happen to you." Tang Ruyi tossed him a piece of compressed high-protein biscuit.

During this time, that was what he had been living on.

Xu Jingzhe caught it, and as the biscuit entered his mouth, he finally felt his stomach growling with hunger.

"Let's go, to Tark City," he said.

Tang Ruyi looked at the undisguised, sharp killing intent on Xu Jingzhe and knew that Yezi being injured by the Adam City contestant had become a thorn in his side.

Although he didn't say he was going to avenge Yezi, Tang Ruyi knew that Xu Jingzhe would definitely do it.

Because Yezi and Dilisi were under the protection of Absolute Zero, Yuan Qiu had activated the defense to avoid being disturbed by outsiders who might accidentally wander into the depths of the abyss.

Without obtaining the medicine to save the two, one could not disturb Yuan Qiu, who was in deep sleep, at will.

"Let's go, believe in the current technological development of Blue Star; it won't take long," Tang Ruyi said, patting Xu Jingzhe, who was standing in front of the cave, to comfort him.

"Thank you."

Xu Jingzhe's voice sounded a bit hoarse.

"Don't mention it," he said.

The two left the bottom of the abyss and returned to the surface.

The traces of the fight had long been buried by the wind, with only faint, dried, blackened bloodstains visible.

After catching a few rabbits and a mutated goat as big as a calf on the grassland, Xu Jingzhe ate them all by himself. Tang Ruyi was not a Contaminator after all, so she had some reservations and only tasted a bite of rabbit meat, praising Xu Jingzhe for roasting it deliciously.

"Whoo!"

Tang Ruyi whistled, and a giant eagle appeared ten thousand meters in the sky, swooping down and landing beside the two, looking very majestic.

After boarding the giant eagle, Tang Ruyi whispered a few words into its ear, and it flew straight towards Tark City.

There was no conversation along the way; the giant eagle flew non-stop for three days and nights.

They passed through various terrains, from mountains to plains, from plains to deserts, from deserts to snow-covered lands, as if experiencing all four seasons.

At dawn on the fourth day, the rising sun cast brilliant rays on their backs, plating them with a layer of fine gold, gentle and romantic.

The giant eagle lowered its altitude, its speed gradually slowing down, and the scenery ahead magnified rapidly.

An inconspicuous small city was nestled among the mountains, surrounded by high walls.

It was called a city, but it was more appropriate to call it a small town.

It wasn't big, with only a few hundred low houses in total. From the air, one could see the town was overcrowded, filled with people everywhere.

The giant eagle was too big and too conspicuous, so Tang Ruyi had it land on a low hill, and the two walked over.

When they were about five or six miles away from Tark City, a loud shout suddenly blocked their path.

This was a complete squad named Daba Team, from Adam City.

They were here mainly to intercept contestants from Pangu City and Nüwa City.

A woman with long, flowing hair stepped forward. Her figure was graceful, and her eyes were modified electronic eyes, scanning the faces of Xu Jingzhe and Tang Ruyi.

"One of them is named Lu Fei, from the Su City Qin Family squad. The other person is not recorded in the system; I don't know who he is," she told the others.

Hearing this, the remaining four were overjoyed and rubbed their hands in anticipation.

The Qin Family's Qin Zhan Wushuang Squad.

That was... a trash squad.

They had managed to enter Tark City, but one of their members had died... and they had been humiliated terribly by the many families in the city.

Unexpectedly, there was one more here.

Probably just a rookie as well.

"Click~"

Barrell lit a lady's cigarette, squinting his eyes as he smoked, sizing up Xu Jingzhe and Tang Ruyi.

Not to mention, these two boys were tender-skinned and handsome, quite charming.

A fire ignited in his lower abdomen; first do that... then do that... and then do that.

Perfect!

"Seton, just beat him half to death, don't kill him, understand?" Barrell said with a lewd smile.

"Got it, boss, I understand." Seton twisted his neck, clenched his fists, making cracking sounds, and strode towards Xu Jingzhe.

Although the Qin Zhan Wushuang Squad came from the Su City Qin Family, they were nothing compared to the Four Main Cities.

Therefore, Seton didn't take Xu Jingzhe seriously at all.

The ground shook as Seton looked like an iron tower, shocking everyone.

Tang Ruyi knew that Xu Jingzhe was suppressing fire in his heart, so she hugged her Tang saber and took the initiative to step back.

Xu Jingzhe watched Seton rush towards him with a playful attitude, his eyes cold and terrifying, watching calmly as Seton reached him.

The mortar-sized fist carried ten thousand pounds of force, the air whistled, and it got closer and closer, almost touching Xu Jingzhe's chest.

Just at this moment, Xu Jingzhe moved.

The golden pollution core and the energy stored in his cells were used simultaneously; the fusion of the two Old Arts combined dominance, explosiveness, and speed.

"Crack!"

"Ah!!"

With just one punch, he smashed Seton's forearm, the broken bone piercing through the flesh and blood, exposing it to the air, exceptionally bloody.

Before Barrell could react, Xu Jingzhe jumped high, his hands slapping heavily on both sides of Leyton's cheeks.

Flesh and blood splashed everywhere along with crushed bone fragments, some of which fell on the four members of the Daba Team.

This scene under the morning sun was truly shocking.

Smashing the head of the powerful Leyton into pieces with one slap was truly unexpected.

"Clang!"

Tang Ruyi drew her Tang saber, sharp blade intent erupted, and she rushed towards the four.

Barrell and the others didn't have time to grieve, their blood surged, and they started fighting with Xu Jingzhe and the other.

The Tang saber swung, blade shadows flickering continuously; she held off two of them, and left the remaining two to Xu Jingzhe.

Xu Jingzhe unleashed the body technique Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, open and close, his fist momentum fierce, like waves crashing against the shore; just the wind of his fists made people's faces ache.

The two's offensive was swift and ruthless, without leaving any room for retreat, and for a time they actually suppressed Barrell and the others.

The commotion here was great, rocks collapsed, ancient trees fell, and it quickly attracted people in Tark City.

They climbed onto the walls one after another to observe the commotion here.

However, they stood clearly divided; the people from Eve City and Pangu City were only a small group, standing in the corner.

Everyone was a person of not weak strength; five or six miles was nothing to them, and they could see the field of view.

"Hey, isn't that the Daba Team? Who are they fighting with?"

"A Contaminator, or contestants from Pangu City and Eve City?"

"Whoa! Good guy, two fierce people? Suppressing the Daba Team?" Someone took out binoculars and took in the fighting scene.

"Really? Two people suppressing four people?"

Someone didn't believe it, snatched the binoculars, and looked carefully.

"That person... looks so familiar?" A woman from Eve City spoke, her eyes shining, staring at Xu Jingzhe's open and close back.

"Must be a powerful Contaminator; Pangu City and Eve City don't have such fierce people, although the Daba Team isn't much." The Adam City contestant directly mocked the two main cities.

"Indeed, the Lu Family of Shang City is nothing more than this."

This undisguised attack and ridicule made the contestants from Eve City and Pangu City standing on the wall watching the fight burn with rage.

Yet!

They dared to be angry but dared not speak!
