On the Road, Facing Off

Under the violent, storm-like onslaught of Xia Tianming, G-William's G2 Form was reduced to a mere half-corpse, and a thick, pungent scent of blood permeated the air!

Just as he raised his Blacklight Blade, preparing to hack it to pieces and consume it entirely.

Suddenly, the G-William remnant, now only half a body, lashed out with a kick, catching Xia Tianming off guard and sending him flying!

Even without its upper body, it was still capable of launching an attack?!

Xia Tianming, sent reeling, reacted with lightning speed; he transformed his arm into a Blacklight Whip-Blade, hooking it into the floor to carve out deep furrows and gradually stabilize his stance.

Yet, during this brief lull in the fighting, G-William underwent another rapid, ferocious transformation!

The severed lower half of its body began to writhe with fleshy tentacles, rapidly sprouting and expanding as it initiated its third stage of evolution!

Due to the extreme, life-threatening trauma it had sustained, its self-healing speed was even faster this time; in less than two seconds, the frantically surging granulation tissue had coalesced into a new upper torso, though the skin had completely sloughed off, exposing crimson, explosive muscle tissue!

Its signature eyeballs were naturally present, and this evolution had sprouted even more; legs, back, and waist were now covered in eyes of varying sizes, granting it essentially omnidirectional vision!

William's original head had vanished entirely, replaced by a blood-red skull with deep, hollow eye sockets, exuding a chilling, sinister aura.

And because its limbs had been destroyed in two consecutive stages, it had now grown a pair of wing-like, exoskeleton-clad giant claws from its back!

Now, its entire form had lost any resemblance to a human; it looked like a fallen angel crawled up from hell!

G-William had entered its G-3 Form!

Seeing the massive changes occurring in his opponent, Xia Tianming couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; this post-injury evolution speed had already surpassed his own.

In just three seconds of inactivity, it had fully recovered and evolved to the third stage, and it had done so without consuming any nutrients, defying the law of conservation of energy to reach a higher state of being.

If it were allowed to evolve like this indefinitely, consuming a planet would likely be only a matter of time.

If it had one weakness, it was its low infectivity; the G-Virus only chose suitable vessels as hosts. Once it came into contact with an unsuitable vessel, it would instantly kill the host or turn it into a very ordinary, low-level viral creature with exposed, vulnerable internal organs.

It seemed that to finish it off completely, the attacks could not stop for a single moment until it was thoroughly crushed into meat paste and consumed!

Inside the fish tank, Leech Marcus watched the monster that had entered the G-3 stage, sensing a violent aura radiating from it—it was the most invincible form he had ever seen!

He couldn't help but warn Xia Tianming again: "Do not get close to it again lightly, be careful of being consumed by it! Quickly find a water source, put me in, and let us work together to deal with it!"

But Xia Tianming did not speak; instead, he rose to his feet and continued to walk toward his opponent alone.

The G-3 Form William stood nearly five meters tall, its body bulging with muscle and covered in a layer of hard, bony armor. It lowered its hideous skull to look at the man continuing to walk toward it, and to everyone's surprise, it spoke!

It raised the giant exoskeleton claws on its back to point at Xia Tianming, its voice sounding like a demon's whisper: "Roar... you still dare to approach me? Seeing me enter the third stage, you don't run, but instead come looking for death? Even if you dragged that fool in the fish tank along with you, it would be no different than a group of mice visiting a cat; it's nothing but a waste of life!"

"If I don't get closer, how can I hack you into a thousand pieces?" Xia Tianming replied coldly, a rare retort from him.

G-3 William was stirred into a state of sadistic excitement, revealing a demonic, hideous grin: "Roar, roar... then don't mind getting closer."

Then, the two began to rush toward each other!

The moment both sides entered each other's attack range!

They launched their attacks almost simultaneously!

The G-3 stage William prepared to manipulate the giant exoskeleton claws on its back, swinging them down viciously at the man who dared to approach it!

The explosive power was so terrifying that even the floor-length curtains nearby were blown away!

Xia Tianming did not dodge the oppressive, bony claws; in an instant, he transformed his right arm into Blacklight Claws to clash against them!

However, G-3 William's move was a feint; the giant exoskeleton claws did not strike down, but instead, it lashed out with a deformed right foot covered in barbs, kicking Xia Tianming hard in the knee!

BANG!!

Xia Tianming's pant leg, woven from the Blacklight Virus, was instantly blown apart, and his knee was bent inward at a 45-degree angle!

Seeing its sneak attack succeed, G-3 William laughed arrogantly: "Too slow, too slow! My G-3 Form is the perfect combination of strength and speed! There's no need for me to evolve to a higher stage to far surpass a third-rate, mongrel virus like you!"

Yet, Xia Tianming merely looked down silently at the injury on his knee; in less than a second, it had fully healed, showing no signs of damage, and even the torn pant leg was repaired by viral tentacles.

"Is your so-called strength just a gentle caress that doesn't even leave a scratch? Though you did ruin these pants, which weren't cheap." Xia Tianming retorted with a sneer, mocking his opponent.

The volatile G-3 William was indeed provoked, snarling: "Hmph, do you pieces of trash all love to talk tough? Next, I'll show you what a true King of Viruses is!"

With that, it clenched the two giant exoskeleton claws on its back into fists and rained them down in turn upon the man who dared to mock it. The wind generated by the speed of its punches blew up the surrounding dust, determined to smash him into pulp!

After intentionally provoking his opponent, Xia Tianming playfully transformed his arms into Hammer Fist Form and met the blows head-on!!

For a time, the two sides were evenly matched, and the shockwaves generated by their colliding fists echoed violently throughout the luxury office!

Spencer, sitting behind the desk, and Marcus in the fish tank watched the scene, trembling; if they had to take even one of those punches...

No, the mere wind from their fists would be enough to tear them apart!

ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!

Both the Blacklight Virus and the G-Virus possessed a monstrous, enduring stamina that grew stronger with every fight, clashing with a violent intensity of dozens of punches per second, yet they seemed not to feel the slightest bit of fatigue!

If they kept fighting like this, it was likely that the entire Umbrella base would be destroyed and collapse sooner or later!
