201: Fight, Poseidon!

Xu Jingzhe walked with firm steps, facing Poseidon directly, as immense pressure bore down on him.

This was his first time truly feeling the presence of the Adam Five; they were indeed as fearsome as the rumors suggested.

Avril looked at Xu Jingzhe with concern, unable to help herself from wanting to speak up, but Jane noticed her and glared fiercely, saying, 'Don't be stupid, he's just a man.'

Zhuge Qihao was somewhat surprised; he had actually come back? Wasn't he supposed to be running away?

Why come back at a time like this? To throw his life away?

This meaningless resistance only made Zhuge Qihao look down on Xu Jingzhe even more.

Everyone's gaze shifted to Xu Jingzhe, and while marveling at his peerless face, some information about him came back to them.

Lu Fei, a member of the Qin Zhan Wushuang Squad, had once openly provoked the head of the Wang family in Su City and killed two of the Wang family's sons in succession; he was a mortal enemy of the Wang family.

However, no one knew anything about Lu Fei before he was sixteen; it had always been a mystery.

There was no record of this person in the household registration system of the Four Main Cities.

'Sigh...' someone let out a long sigh, not optimistic about Xu Jingzhe.

Although his entrance was cool, he would die a miserable death. This was true not only for those standing on Tark City but also for those outside it.

'Although this person is from the Qin Zhan Wushuang Squad, the Su City Qin Family is nothing special compared to the Four Main Cities.' Wang Yuan was the first to express his opinion, firmly convinced that Xu Jingzhe would die a miserable death.

'He is quite handsome, but I don't know if he can withstand a single punch from Poseidon.'

'Even Qin Shuang, the captain of the Qin Zhan Wushuang Squad, is no match for the Adam Five, let alone some nobody.'

'As for that Su City Wang family, just a second-rate clan, never even heard of them, they can't even get on the stage.'

Wang Yuan's mouth twitched; weren't they slandering Lu Fei? How did it get dragged back to the Wang family?

However, some people from Adam City and Eve City kept their mouths shut; they had clashed with Xu Jingzhe before and had either had their teams wiped out or only had two or three survivors, suffering heavy losses.

As for why this one-on-one duel situation appeared, it was entirely because Wang Yuan had leaked the secret.

The Lizardman Shi Lai had been in a playful mood and came up with this method.

Contestants inside Tark City could freely choose contestants outside Tark City, and the winner could choose food, water, equipment, or to leave Tark City; as for the loser... they had only one path: death.

Xu Jingzhe walked straight past Poseidon, ignoring him completely, and came to Tang Ruyi's side, extending his hand.

Tang Ruyi looked at Xu Jingzhe expressionlessly; the blinding sunlight was blocked, casting a patch of shade, and she extended her hand, gripping Xu Jingzhe's palm tightly.

She felt a powerful force flowing through her body; having been gone for a mere twenty days or so, he was even stronger now.

'You... didn't you eat? You can't even beat the lowly Adam Five? Aren't you embarrassed?' Xu Jingzhe said in a reproachful tone.

'Gurgle...' Just as he finished speaking, Tang Ruyi's stomach growled, and she licked her lips and said, 'I haven't had a full meal in a week, there's no power in my body, it's normal that I couldn't beat him.'

'Otherwise, why would I fear some Adam Five?'

Neither of them covered up their conversation, and they were even quite loud, so everyone present heard them clearly.

Everyone's jaws dropped; it was the first time someone dared to tease the Adam Five in public, which was definitely like lighting a lantern in a latrine—looking for death.

However, the people from Pangu City and Nüwa City felt a breath of relief; well said, if not for the fear of retaliation, they would have almost jumped up and applauded on the spot.

Poseidon stood with his hands behind his back, sneering at Xu Jingzhe, 'The Adam Five? How refreshing.'

'I hope... your strength is as tough as your mouth.'

Xu Jingzhe patted Tang Ruyi's shoulder and comforted her, 'Go rest on the side, watch as your brother wipes him out in one move.'

Tang Ruyi nodded, picked up the Tang saber from the ground, and walked far away.

She knew that Xu Jingzhe was about to use the Ritual Arts.

The Six Decisions, which were no weaker than an Ancient Battle Skill, were truly something to look forward to!

Xu Jingzhe turned his back to Poseidon, and after watching Tang Ruyi stand still, he waved at her. Then, he turned around, his face instantly darkening, and his aura changed along with it, his fighting spirit rising high, shooting straight into the clouds.

He didn't waste any words, starting off with the Ritual Arts; while he could mock the Adam Five with words, he could not do so in a life-and-death battle, so he said in a deep voice, 'Yi, please fight with me!'

A speck of golden light emerged from behind him, quietly exploding and bursting into countless golden spots of light.

Around Tark City, the winds surged and clouds gathered, and countless energy flowed toward this side.

A hundred-meter-tall golden phantom slowly appeared before everyone's eyes, very blurry. However, Tang Ruyi saw it clearly; although the golden phantom of Yi was still very blurry, compared to before, its eyes were more solid, and its form was faintly visible.

Yi raised his right hand high, and a golden bow appeared.

He drew the bow.

A twenty-meter-long blood-colored arrow appeared, accompanied by bursts of ghostly wails and howls, and blood-colored mist permeated the area.

Poseidon put away his sneer and showed a serious expression; what kind of Ancient Battle Skill was this?

Adam City had records of the Ancient Battle Skills possessed by the top-tier families of Pangu City and Nüwa City, but this Ancient Battle Skill was not recorded; could it be that this person was also a core disciple of a hidden family who had emerged?

This hundreds-of-meters-tall golden phantom brought too much psychological pressure to people. Tark City crawled at its feet, and the ancient trees reached its waist, like a god of creation descending into the world.

In the face of absolute power, everyone seemed so insignificant.

Qin Shuang looked at Xu Jingzhe blankly, her eyes moistening once again. He... was even more powerful!

'Shoot!'

Xu Jingzhe shouted, containing part of the energy in his body, the sound like a thunderclap, startling the world.

The blood-colored arrow left the string, carrying a long blood-colored trail, and a shrill whistling sound rang in everyone's hearts, like an evil ghost from the eighteenth layer of hell, demanding lives; anyone could see the extraordinary nature of this arrow.

Those who could survive until now were the elite of the elite, and they asked themselves how they would face this arrow.

The golden lines hidden inside the metal combat suit lit up simultaneously, shining brightly, pulling the defense, movement speed, and the wearer's growth value to the peak.

Every top-tier family would tailor a perfect combat suit for their contestants, not missing any details. Adam City's technology was ahead of Pangu and Nüwa City, and the combat suits were even more fitted to the wearers.

Poseidon met this world-destroying blow in his prime state.

The blood-colored arrow hit Poseidon's chest accurately, and the condensed energy exploded, like an earthquake. The already devastated earth was torn into deep 'gaps'.

Rocks shattered, and the ground collapsed.

Blood-colored mist permeated the area, covering the center of the battlefield, and the figures of Xu Jingzhe and Poseidon disappeared.

Strong radiation caused various instruments and equipment to malfunction, making it impossible to detect the scene of the two fighting. Everyone was craning their necks, nervously watching the blood mist before them, urgently wanting to know the answer.

Poseidon, was he defeated?
