Based on this calculation method... in terms of overall strength, Chen Xiao has also improved from a superhuman below B-level to barely reaching A-level overall strength!!
These are principles that Chen Xiao would naturally understand if he sat down and thought about them carefully. But right now, there was no time to think. He felt as if he were completely lost.
It is perfectly timed, brimming with power, seemingly inexhaustible.
However, although his overall strength had suddenly increased to A-level, Chen Xiao was still no match for a level-one powerhouse.
Using their advantageous position, they managed to hold out for a while longer.
But things gradually started to look bad.
Poseidon's power is truly terrifying. This woman, once she truly goes berserk, transforms into a human dismantling machine! Several sonic storms are released, instantly engulfing the surrounding area.
The vast expanse of metal buildings surrounding the area were all demolished!
Looking at this vast expanse, the once seemingly boundless "underground city" had been reduced to fragments. Chen Xiao fought and ran, but gradually found himself in a predicament. The area left for him to escape to was getting smaller and smaller.
At the speed at which Poseidon demolishes houses, it will probably only take a few more minutes. This entire area of metal houses will be completely torn down!
Chen Xiao had been forced to the very end of the building.
Of the surrounding square metal houses, only the last row remains.
Chen Xiao wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the last row of metal houses seemed larger than the ones he had seen before. And the order in which they were arranged...
It seems a bit strange. It's not a straight row or column like before. Instead, it has a slight curve, seemingly arranged in an arc shape.
On one side of this row of houses, on that entire row of metal plates, there seemed to be a dense mass of strange characters engraved. These characters resembled some kind of hieroglyphics; some looked like square characters, while others were winding and crooked like tadpole script. On the side wall of this row of houses, however, they were not arranged according to a fixed rule, but rather scattered here and there, appearing quite chaotic.
Moreover, they all seemed to be carved along a strange diagonal pattern. Chen Xiao hadn't noticed them at first, but after moving to the side and taking a specific angle, he was able to see the characters and symbols clearly. These characters and symbols varied in size. Some were a meter or two tall, while others were only the size of a palm. They looked messy and utterly devoid of aesthetic appeal.
Chen Xiao's steps were already somewhat unsteady. Even though his strength had improved, he had still been fleeing in a sorry state, taking so many attacks from the Sea God. He was also panting heavily. He was completely baffled by the tattered black armor he wore. He didn't know how he had woken up wearing such a thing.
He stumbled and collapsed beside the last row of houses. Looking back, a chill ran through him.
The flames from the last explosion in the distance had barely dissipated when a graceful figure emerged slowly from the smoke. Her steps were light, her figure swaying gently, and her long, emerald-green curly hair flowed softly. Yet, her face seemed veiled in frost, and a cold gaze shot towards them from her eyes. It was the woman who had relentlessly pursued him, the one he had nowhere to hide.
"Run! Where can you run to!" Poseidon was still standing dozens of meters away. But his words clearly reached Chen Xiao's ears.
Chen Xiao sighed; he was now in a desperate situation.
Right now, in this lower cave world, this woman has leveled such a large area into ruins. Behind that last row of houses lies a layer of rock.
That's it. Where else can we go?
He took a deep breath. He steeled his resolve. He decided to fight this woman to the death. Even knowing he was outmatched, he couldn't just sit and wait to die!
He looked around, but didn't find any suitable weapons. He then spotted a metal pole standing next to a "house," about a meter long and as thick as a fist. It looked like some kind of streetlight?
Chen Xiao didn't think much of it at the moment, nor did he notice that this "streetlight" only seemed to be erected next to this house. There weren't any next to the previous houses.
He hadn't even noticed that detail. He simply walked over, gripped the metal rod with both hands, and then twisted it with all his might…
With a snap, the metal rod was pulled askew. Then Chen Xiao twisted it forcefully, breaking it off at the base. Holding it in his hand, he weighed it...
He swung his sword twice fiercely and shouted at the distant sea god, "Come on! I'll fight you to the death!"
"spell?!"
Poseidon chuckled coldly, her tone disdainful, her confidence unwavering. This guy did indeed possess many supernatural abilities—a rarity indeed. But his strength... he was far inferior to hers. All he could do along the way was scheme and create trouble for her, but he was no match for her.
Smiling, she raised a finger. With a gentle tap, a beam of water appeared. Immediately, a water arrow shot out, striking Chen Xiao squarely in the chest!
Chen Xiao had originally intended to swing the metal rod in his hand to defend himself. However, he hadn't expected the metal rod to be so useless. The water arrow snapped the rod in two with a crack.
Then it slammed into his chest. Chen Xiao felt as if he had been struck hard in the chest with a heavy hammer. He was immediately sent flying. While still in mid-air, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Poseidon wore a cold smile, watching the man's utter helplessness. He was about to crush this hateful fellow to dust when suddenly, at that very moment, a change occurred.
Alright!
The last row of metal houses behind Chen Xiao suddenly flashed with light, and then more than a dozen golden electric waves shot out from the metal houses into the sky, quickly coalescing into a network resembling an electric grid!
Just as Chen Xiao was struck by these dozen or so electric currents, his body flashed and vanished in an instant!
Poseidon was taken aback!
At first, she thought the other party had used the same trick again, teleporting away to escape. However, after carefully sensing with her telekinesis, she discovered that wasn't the case at all!
That kid, he can't track his presence again?!
The surrounding area was a wasteland. Apart from this last row of houses, all that remained was layer of rock. Where was Chen Xiao?!
"That bastard! What trick has he played this time?!"
The sea god was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
Chen Xiao fell heavily from the sky. Upon impact, his body bounced, and his head slammed against the ground. He cried out in pain, clutching his forehead with both hands. Then he quickly stood up.
Looking around again, I was stunned!
"This...this place..."
It resembled a huge, circular room. The surrounding walls were nearly thirty meters high. More importantly, this wasn't some arched cave. The walls were smooth and reflective, and the surface he was standing on was hard and slippery, feeling almost metallic to the touch!
Chapter 171 [Reincarnation]
What is certain is that this appears to be a man-made room—and a completely airtight room with no doors or windows!
