Chapter 207: The Storm, Poseidon Defeated

"Breaking news: The Su City Li Family has violated Alliance regulations by privately contacting the Contaminator Xu Jingzhe... Effective today, the entire Li Family clan is to be imprisoned, awaiting trial by the Alliance Court!"

The news of the Li Family being tried by the Alliance for adopting a Contaminator as a godson exploded throughout the Chemical Zone like a bombshell, stirring up a massive storm.

Underneath this news, netizens left a flurry of comments.

"To dare to adopt a Contaminator as a godson—they must have grand schemes." This comment received five million likes.

"Serves them right. Everyone in the Chemical Zone considers themselves elite, yet they lowered their status to acknowledge a lowly person as a godson." This comment received 500,000 likes.

"Upvoted. The Alliance leadership did the right thing. They discovered it yesterday and arrested the Li Family today—efficiency first." This comment received 300,000 likes.

"However, I am very worried about our Alliance's detection system. How did he travel all the way here without being discovered?" This comment received two million likes.

"I have inside information that the Qin Family has also been in contact with this person." This comment received five million likes.

"Not just the Qin Family; I heard the South City Ye Family is involved too." This comment received one million likes.

Everyone had a phone in their hand, scrolling through this explosive news, and the server dedicated to the entertainment section nearly crashed.

"Quick, Qin Wushuang, the head of the Qin Family, has personally come forward to explain the situation."

"Where? Where?"

"On the Alliance public platform. A full five-minute apology."

All the netizens flocked to the public platform, watching Qin Wushuang's serious statement.

At the same time the Li Family's statement was released, the Ye Family also held a press conference, stating frankly that the Ye Family knew nothing and had never met this person.

Ye is still young and naive; it is normal for him to have been deceived.

However, no one else from the South City Ye Family has ever been in contact with the Contaminator Xu Jingzhe...

At this moment, Xu Jingzhe and Poseidon were still locked in combat.

For thirty-five full days, the two had been chasing each other, their battlefield spanning an unknown number of miles.

Xu Jingzhe was gnawing on half-cooked wild boar meat, looking every bit the "wild man." His hair was matted, his face was filthy, and his upper garment was gone, revealing his solid eight-pack abs.

This face, this physique, caused countless girls to swoon.

Behind him, a large group of "female fans" followed, cheering Xu Jingzhe on.

Poseidon was no less impressive; a group of adoring female fans followed him, swooning.

Holding the last bottle of Mars Evolution Fluid, his entire body was shaking uncontrollably; his internal organs had suffered severe damage.

The Mars Evolution Fluid in his hand was immature; even though it provided an all-around boost, it also came with significant side effects.

The Adam Five each had three bottles, kept as their ultimate trump card in case of hidden measures by disciples of top families.

Now, a small-time nobody had forced Poseidon to drink all three bottles within a month. Even as powerful as he was, his body couldn't take it, and he had sustained serious internal injuries.

Xu Jingzhe was filthy, but his eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky. After more than a month of continuous life-and-death battles, his strength had grown even further.

Inside the egg-sized Golden Contamination Core, there were twenty-two golden rings, two of which were particularly dazzling.

"Roar!"

Poseidon let out a roar, his eyes blood-red. Blood uncontrollably spilled from the corners of his mouth as he stared fixedly at Xu Jingzhe and charged toward him.

Xu Jingzhe looked at this frenzied man, feeling a sense of admiration for him.

After he had mocked him last time, the Lizardman Shi Lai no longer provided him with his hidden location, and he hadn't put on his Level 1 battle suit either.

Except for relying on Moon Soil Evolution Fluid and Mars Evolution Fluid to recover his injuries and replenish energy, he hadn't relied on the powerful technology of Adam City.

All things considered, Xu Jingzhe had taken advantage of the situation.

Xu Jingzhe threw away the remaining half of the wild boar meat and charged toward Poseidon at the same speed.

"Boom!"

The collision between them was like a comet hitting the Earth; the brutal battle began once more.

Without a doubt, neither defended; it was a trade of life for life.

"Crack!" "Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking was constant, like firecrackers. Afterimages darted through the mountains; trees fell, rocks shattered, and blood splattered.

"Boom!" A punch capable of shaking mountains slammed into Xu Jingzhe's waist, shattering both his kidneys.

Xu Jingzhe crashed through a row of trees and stopped. He activated his Music Skill, and within a few breaths, his kidneys were restored to their original state.

Standing in place, his blood roaring, he raised his right hand and shouted, "Yi, fight with me!"

A hundred-meter-tall golden phantom appeared. Yi drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and the world suddenly filled with the wails of ghosts, with bloody mist permeating the air.

Poseidon looked coldly at Yi's phantom. He had been severely injured several times by this twenty-meter-long blood-red arrow, nearly being cut in two.

There was a world of difference in his defensive power between wearing and not wearing the Level 1 battle suit.

"Poseidon, put on your battle suit. Otherwise... you might never have another chance." Xu Jingzhe shouted mockingly.

"To kill you... why would I need to use a butcher's knife?" Poseidon replied to Xu Jingzhe in a deep voice. He was arrogant, as were the rest of the Adam Five.

After months of battle, no one would doubt Poseidon's strength.

It was just that, unknowingly, he had raised Xu Jingzhe's strength to the same level as the Adam Five.

"Water, come!"

Behind Poseidon, countless energy converged, forming silver dragons as thick as mountain ridges, gathering behind him to become a vast ocean.

Twenty-two water tornadoes swept upward, stirring up towering waves; they churned on the sea surface like dragons emerging from the ocean.

The spectators had watched this no fewer than ten times, yet it was still shocking.

Poseidon's hair moved with the wind, revealing his chiseled profile. He kept his mouth tightly shut, swallowing the blood in his mouth.

However, blood continued to stream from his nostrils, ears, and eyes.

He knew his body had reached its limit; it had been dragged down. The radiation of the Pollution Zone, the lack of proper recuperation during a month of continuous battle, and the most severe damage—drinking three small bottles of Mars Evolution Fluid with significant side effects in a row.

With many factors combined, even a man of iron would be ruined.

The twenty-two water tornadoes fused together behind him, becoming larger and larger, as if they were about to connect with the sky.

Poseidon turned his head, a look of unspeakable desolation and loneliness, and locked eyes with the golden-eyed Caesar.

Caesar stood with his hands behind his back, clenching his jaw, staring intently at him.

He could already see that Poseidon's body was in serious trouble. If this final strike were not unleashed, perhaps he could be saved, but once unleashed, there would be no turning back.

"Caesar." The red-haired Bruce was restraining his impulses and violent temper.

"I'll go," Jacob said.

Caesar did not look at the two of them, nor did he respond; he simply watched Poseidon, saying nothing.

"Ah..."

Poseidon roared, his aura climbing continuously, as if a Contaminant had descended. Inside his body, meridians were rupturing, cells were dying; he had reached his limit.

The blood-red arrow shot out, trailing a long wake like a meteor streaking across the dark universe.

Poseidon's "water dragon" also condensed, reaching several hundred meters in length, carving a long crack into the earth as it collided with the blood-red arrow.

Both were engulfed by the terrifying energy; between heaven and earth, it seemed only blinding white light remained.

In the white light, the onlookers saw a figure flying high into the air, a blood-red arrow pierced through his chest, accompanied by a large spray of blood...

That person... was Poseidon.

Poseidon... was defeated...
