Snap! Boom!
The base shattered instantly! The heavy gun lost its support and crashed to the ground with twisted wires and sparks!
The third and fourth machine guns frantically adjusted their firing angles, tracking the ghostly purple shadow! But their speed seemed so clumsy and ridiculous in front of her!
Lu Qingyi danced like a grim reaper amidst a hail of bullets. Her movements were devoid of gimmickry, pure, direct, and efficient slaughter. Every flash, every strike, was accompanied by the utter destruction of a defensive weapon! She tore through armor with her bare hands! She defied the barrage with her body! With pure violence, enhanced by the energy of chips and reagents, she crushed the fortress's meticulously crafted defenses!
Less than ten seconds.
The last violent explosion subsided.
All that remained in the passage was burning debris, twisted metal, thick smoke, and the acrid smell of burning. The four powerful automatic machine guns, along with the wall structures they were embedded in, were reduced to smoking ruins.
Lu Qingyi stood before the massive gate. Her body was stained with smoke and dust from the explosion, and tiny flames still flared from the corners of her tattered clothes, yet she seemed oblivious. Her cold eyes, blazing with a dark purple light, stared emotionlessly at the final obstacle before her.
The dark blue energy barrier flowing across the gate's surface resembled a clear stream of data to her eyes. She slowly raised her right hand, spread her fingers, and aimed her palm at the center of the heavy gate. Beneath the skin of her palm, dark purple energy veins suddenly lit up, as if a living thing were wriggling!
"Target...lock...execute...clear..." The cold announcement sounded again.
In his palm, a highly concentrated dark purple energy ball, emitting destructive waves, began to rapidly spin, compress, and take shape! The surrounding air hummed with an unbearable pressure from this terrifying gathering of energy!
Just before this destructive energy erupted—
“Qingyi——!!!”
A hoarse roar, filled with endless pain, fear, and despair, like a thunderclap, suddenly boomed from the direction of the tunnel entrance! The sound pierced through the smoke, carrying a soul-shattering power!
The dark purple energy ball that was rapidly condensing in Lu Qingyi's palm suddenly stopped!
Slowly and extremely stiffly, she turned her neck.
The hollow eyes, burning with dark purple light, penetrated the dense smoke and dim emergency lights, and accurately locked onto the figure standing like a javelin at the entrance of the passage.
Lu Chen entropy!
He stood there, his tall figure blurred by the vast shadow at the tunnel entrance. But the cold, violent, volcanic aura that threatened to erupt at any moment swept through the entire passage like a tangible wave! Mithril's left arm drooped, the spiderweb-like energy cracks on its surface clearly visible, even more severe than in the sewers. Wisps of scorching white energy continuously emanated. The demonic blade remained unsheathed, but the extremely suppressed blade intent had already caused the scorching air in the passage to freeze.
His breathing was heavy and rapid, each inhale like the strain of an old bellows, his chest rising and falling violently. His face and mithril arms were stained with sewer filth and congealed blood, mixed with sweat, making him look incredibly disheveled. Yet, his only remaining right eye shone with a frightening brilliance! Deep within its pupil burned a nearly insane fire, the underlying hue of which was the soul-crushing pain and despair of seeing his loved ones reduced to killing machines!
Wen Shifei and Ajie followed closely behind, rushing into the tunnel entrance. Wen Shifei's face was as pale as paper, her mental exhaustion and arm injury leaving her shaky, barely able to hold onto the wall for support. Ajie quickly raised his shotgun, the muzzle locked firmly on Lu Qingyi, but his finger on the trigger trembled slightly from the immense psychological impact, his forehead covered in sweat. The purgatory-like scene before them, and the figure at the end of the tunnel, Lu Qingyi, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations and resembling a humanoid weapon, exceeded their worst expectations!
Lu Qingyi slowly turned, facing the entrance. The highly concentrated dark purple energy ball in her palm hadn't dissipated, still emitting a heart-pounding wave of destruction. Her eyes, blazing with a cold purple light, scanned Lu Cheneng, Wen Shifei, and Ajie like a highly accurate scanner, without emotion.
"Identifying... high-threat targets... Lu Cheneng... Wen Shifei... Ajie..." The cold, mechanical voice sounded without a ripple, as if reading out a death list, "Elimination... Priority... Raised to the highest level."
The moment she finished speaking, her empty purple eyes instantly locked onto Wen Shifei, who was closest to her!
"Sister Shi Fei, be careful!" Ajie's roar and the sound of the trigger being pulled rang out almost at the same time!
Bang!!!
The shotgun spewed out blazing flames! The dense pellets formed a metallic storm that instantly enveloped Lu Qingyi's figure!
However, at the moment before the gunshot, Lu Qingyi's figure had disappeared!
It's not teleportation! It's an extremely fast charge!
Only a faint afterimage with a dark purple light trace remained on the spot! Her true form was like purple lightning tearing through space, ignoring the coverage of the shotgun. At a speed that Ajie could not react to, she instantly crossed a distance of more than ten meters and appeared in front of Wen Shifei!
The right hand, condensed with a destructive energy ball, opened its five fingers and fiercely grabbed Wen Shifei's head with a scream that tore through the air! The dark purple energy ball in the palm of its hand glowed brightly, emitting a breath of death!
"No—!!!" Lu Cheneng's eyes were bloodshot! Unprecedented power erupted from his mithril left arm, and the demonic blade instantly unsheathed! The mercury blade ripped through the air, carrying all his strength, all his anger, all his despair, transforming into a piercing streak of silver lightning, slashing towards Lu Qingyi's arm that was grabbing Wen Shifei! He had to stop it! At any cost!
