65: Superpower: Time and space suspension

Chapter 65: Ability: Time Stop

Everyone watching felt shivers down their spines; this was simply a wild beast, like those from ancient legends, with terrifying physical prowess.

Bruce was also somewhat lost in thought, his red hair swaying in the wind.

Observing Xu Jingzhe and Chen Fengzi's fight, this person's movements were clumsy, his attacks singular, and his energy conversion rate very low, making him at most a Contaminator of one or two years.

Yet, his physical quality was astonishing!

It seems this is the ability he gained after condensing his pollution core.

Flesh Evolution!

But, isn't it a bit too exaggerated? Punching through ordinary alloys?

If such a person were to grow, would he one day be able to contend with mechs purely with his physical body?

At this thought, Bruce couldn't help but shiver.

Records in the Chemical Zone indeed mentioned someone once fighting a mech bare-handed.

A god-like existence.

In the distance, Dodge, hiding in the shadows, smoked a cigar, increasingly convinced that Xu Jingzhe had an extraordinary encounter in the primeval forest near Kunlun.

When they first met, his body was like paper, collapsing with one punch.

But in just a few days, he had been reborn, and Dodge could feel the energy fluctuations within his body.

This also meant that he had condensed a pollution core, and his body had undergone its first mutation.

"This kind of physique, as a sniper, is invincible," Dodge muttered.

"A talent like you, if you had grown up in the Chemical Zone, would surely have a place for yourself in the future.

It's a pity you're a Contaminator; otherwise, I really wouldn't bear to kill you."

Bruce slowly walked forward, the four iron chains behind him clanking.

Xu Jingzhe's eyes were icy, and he said, "The Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid was stolen by me; it has nothing to do with them."

"Whether it's related or not isn't for you to decide," Bruce smiled, his strikingly handsome face even earning a secret compliment from Xu Jingzhe.

He raised his right hand, which had been hanging down. "Whoosh!" The four wrist-thick iron chains snapped taut, shooting into the sky, hoisting the four people up.

Although the chains had nothing to support them, they remained fixed in mid-air.

Cold Qing was still conscious; she opened her eyes, her vision blurry.

A moment later, her vision cleared, and she saw Xu Jingzhe.

At this instant, Cold Qing's eyes lit up, then quickly dimmed.

"Li... Little Six," she said weakly, but her voice was too soft for Xu Jingzhe to hear.

"Boss, boss, Little Six is here, Little Six is here..."

Tears streamed down her face; to see Little Six one last time before she died, she had no regrets.

Xu Jingzhe looked up at the four people suspended by chains in the air, his eyes widening.

Suddenly, his vision blurred.

Bruce was already in front of him, delivering a powerful side kick to Xu Jingzhe's neck, leaving afterimages.

Xu Jingzhe couldn't react in time and could only raise his arm to block.

"Slap!"

The kick sent Xu Jingzhe flying dozens of meters.

He staggered to a stop, shaking his arm.

Damn it... This guy's physical body felt even stronger than his own.

Bruce was very fast, covering dozens of meters in a single step.

In a few steps, he was already in front of Xu Jingzhe, delivering another whip kick.

Xu Jingzhe, unwilling to concede, also swung his leg in retaliation.

"Bang!" The collision of flesh against flesh produced a dull thud, like a muffled clap of thunder.

However, although Xu Jingzhe's physical body was formidable, his strength was insufficient.

He was sent flying by Bruce's whip kick!

Before he could stabilize himself, Bruce was already on him again.

His fists were like a great river, his legs like mountains, each strike carrying thousands of pounds of force.

Xu Jingzhe was shaken, his blood churning, retreating steadily.

This red-haired birdman's physical body was even stronger than his, and his speed was faster.

His attacks were like a mountain goat's horns, leaving no trace.

A punch would clearly aim for the face, but then suddenly shift, striking the ribs heavily.

If it were an ordinary person, under Bruce's assault, all their bones would shatter.

"You really just rely on your physical body; everything else is useless," Bruce said, with one hand behind his back, attacking Xu Jingzhe with the other, completely at ease.

"Slow, too slow.

Did you not eat breakfast, or are you a frail old man? You can't even throw a punch once a second."

"I'm attacking your chest now," Bruce said and did.

Just as Xu Jingzhe tried to raise his arm to block, he felt a pain in his chest, and Bruce's fist had already retracted.

"Now, hitting your abdomen..."

"Attacking your armpit..."

In the distance, the onlookers saw Bruce's true strength for the first time.

In their view, Xu Jingzhe was the one standing still, while Bruce had circled Xu Jingzhe's body twice in the span of a breath.

It was like a slow-motion movie, but the slowness only applied to Xu Jingzhe; Bruce was unaffected.

"Clang!"

Another punch, heavy and powerful, sent Xu Jingzhe spitting blood, rolling seventeen or eighteen meters on the ground before finally stopping.

Bruce stretched his arms, like a figure on a movie poster.

Elegant and noble.

"Everything should end now..." Bruce was as cold as ice.

He had played enough.

The Adam Five's reputation was beginning to spread, and the thief who stole the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid had been caught; he could return to the city.

Red wine, spa, dance parties, group battles, and so on.

"Go!" Just then, Dodge let out a low growl.

Instantly, like a tiger descending from the mountain, he charged towards Bruce with a terrifying aura.

Cockroach and Frog, hidden in the crowd, also appeared simultaneously, forming a triangle around Bruce.

"Heh heh..." Bruce sneered, snapping his fingers.

Of course, he had also made preparations.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

People from the Chemical Zone stepped out, engaging in a chaotic fight with Dodge and his two companions.

Undisturbed, he lightly tapped his toes, leaping to Xu Jingzhe's side.

He grabbed his neck with one hand, lifting him up, his fingers gradually tightening.

Gradually, Xu Jingzhe's breathing became difficult, his eyes rolling back.

He wanted to resist, but the hand on his neck was like a large iron clamp, tightening deeper and deeper.

Death was beckoning to him.

Xu Jingzhe's eyes were like a slideshow; from the moment he had memories, the figures of every person he had encountered began to appear before him.

They emitted a blurry white light, gradually growing from a light point into a phantom, greeting Xu Jingzhe, then quickly shrinking, and the next person appeared.

The white light grew brighter, the figures, against this backdrop, became ethereal and hazy.

Xu Jingzhe was almost suffocating, feeling no pain anymore.

It's over, let it be over.

Only the last figure of Dao Ruyan remained, as if ready to dissipate with the wind at any moment.

After this figure flashed, he would have to leave this world.

"Xu Jingzhe, I miss you."

"Shall we get married? A house, two people, three meals, four seasons... give you a little Jingzhe, watch him grow up, go to school..."

"One isn't enough, is it? Then have another little Yezi, a family of four."

"Hehehe... Still not enough? Then keep having them, we'll have as many as you want."

Xu Jingzhe, on the verge of death, suddenly opened his eyes, two golden lights flashing within them.

At the same time, a voice echoed in his mind.

Ability: Time Stop!

Duration: Two seconds!

Range: Two meters in radius

He didn't have time to think, pulling out the dagger from his lower back.

"Swish!"

The dagger flashed, a powerful diagonal cut.

Bruce's body was split into two halves, from his neck down to his waist!
