Chapter 39 Defeat
Chapter 39 Defeat
Zeng Qixia saw that the porcupine Orphnoch's right eye had begun to turn to sand, and knew that it could no longer fight.
She decided not to delay any longer, after all, facing two Orphnochs today had taken a toll on her stamina.
So she decisively raised the Delta pistol, aimed at the porcupine Orphnoch, and fired lasers continuously.
The powerful laser instantly pierced the body of the porcupine Orphnoch, triggering a series of explosions.
In the end, the porcupine Orphnoch was completely destroyed, turning into a pile of sand that drifted away with the wind.
Zeng Qixia breathed a sigh of relief; the danger was finally over. She slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling a wave of exhaustion.
He then decided to remove the Delta armor and go home for a good rest.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "Wonderful, so wonderful! I almost couldn't resist taking action!" Zeng Qixia was startled and immediately looked around warily, but there was no one else around.
However, when she turned her head again, she found a man standing not far away, smiling at her.
The man was dressed in a black casual outfit, with a handsome face and deep eyes, giving him an air of mystery.
Zeng Qixia was very surprised by his appearance, because she had no idea when he had appeared.
Upon seeing this, Zeng Qixia immediately dodged to the side, gripped her Delta pistol tightly, and shouted at the man, "Who are you? Why are you here? If you don't answer my questions, I'll shoot!"
Chu Qi looked at Zeng Qixia in front of him, but his face did not show any fear. On the contrary, he even had a smile on his face, as if he was full of curiosity and anticipation for everything.
"Hehehe~ I was just attracted by the sight of my sister showing off her skills," Chu Qi said with a smile, as if it were just a joke.
However, Zeng Qixia did not lower her guard because of Chu Qi's words. Without hesitation, she fired a light bullet at Chu Qi.
Upon seeing this, Chu Qi's lips curled up slightly, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes.
He moved his body gently, skillfully dodging all the light projectiles, dancing like a butterfly.
Then, he instantly appeared behind Zeng Qixia, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Sister, you're really going too far. I was hoping to play with you, but it seems you don't really want to play with me."
Zeng Qixia was startled when she heard Chu Qi's voice behind her, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she turned around and threw a punch.
Chu Qi easily leaned back to dodge, his smile fading as his face grew calm and serious. He slowly said, "Since you don't want to play, then I'll get serious!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling white light burst forth from Chu Qi's body, and Chu Qi's figure instantly transformed into the dragon Ophiono.
Zeng Qixia looked at Chu Qi's change in surprise and felt the powerful aura emanating from him, but she did not back down. Instead, she charged towards Chu Qi with even greater determination.
Zeng Qixia charged towards Chu Qi like a cannonball, her speed astonishing. When she reached Chu Qi, she swung her fist without hesitation, aiming directly at Chu Qi's face.
However, Chu Qi displayed surprising reflexes and combat skills.
He easily turned to the side, dodging Zeng Qixia's attack, and quickly raised the huge dragon claw in his hand, slamming it hard into Zeng Qixia's chest.
The blow was extremely powerful, and Zeng Qixia was unable to withstand it. She was sent flying backward, tumbling several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
But she did not give up. She struggled to her feet and continued to fight against Chu Qi.
Just as she regained her footing, Chu Qi launched another attack.
He vanished from his spot in an instant and reappeared behind Zeng Qixia. Then, he swung his dragon claw again, striking Zeng Qixia accurately in the back.
"Ah!" Zeng Qixia screamed, her body flying into the air involuntarily.
Chu Qi then repeatedly appeared at Zeng Qixia's landing spot, attacking her with his dragon claws time and time again.
Each attack caused Zeng Qixia immense pain, but she persevered.
After more than ten attacks, Zeng Qixia finally couldn't take it anymore and fell heavily to the ground. Her Delta belt slipped off her body and fell to the side.
Zeng Qixia lay on the ground, her whole body aching unbearably. She weakly raised her head and saw Chu Qi slowly walking towards her.
Her face was ashen, as if she thought she was going to die here today.
However, after Chu Qi walked up to her, he did not attack her. Instead, he picked up the Delta belt that had fallen to the ground, glanced at Zeng Qixia, and smiled slightly.
"Sister, can I borrow this belt to play with for a bit? I'll return it to you later!" After saying that, Chu Qi transformed back into human form and then turned and left the beach.
Zeng Qixia was left lying on the ground, looking at Chu Qi's departing figure with a resentful expression. As time passed, her body could no longer bear the strain, and she collapsed from exhaustion.
Nearly half an hour later, vehicles from the Special Affairs Bureau appeared on the beach, and Su Qian led his team to search the beach.
Upon seeing Zeng Qixia lying on the edge of the beach, they quickly called for medical personnel to take her to the hospital for treatment.
He then led the other members of the Faiz squad to investigate the scene, discovering that it must have been the site of several major battles, with the area in complete disarray.
Su Qian looked at all this with a furrowed brow, his heart filled with doubt and worry.
After a moment of contemplation, he said with a regretful expression, "We're still too late. The battle ended about half an hour ago."
"There's nothing we can do. This place is remote and sparsely populated. By the time our patrols discovered it, the best time to strike had already passed," a team member next to him said helplessly.
Su Qian sighed, secretly annoyed. If they had arrived earlier, they might have been able to prevent the battle from happening. However, reality made them miss their chance.
"Go and pull up all the surveillance videos around here, don't forget any corner. The Orphnochs who appeared here this time are very strong. According to the intelligence on the scene, Delta was completely powerless to fight back and was directly crushed. I'm afraid the situation in Hai City is even more complicated." Su Qian ordered in a heavy tone.
The team members nodded in agreement and quickly sprang into action. They knew that to find out the truth, they had to start with the surveillance video.
Hopefully, these videos will provide some clues to help them find the powerful Orphnoch.
At the same time, they also needed to consider how to deal with this powerful Orphnoch that had appeared in the sea city.
