Chapter 651: Xia Lingling

Daiku Kai Enzu’s eyes were locked onto the ground. The next second, he raised his right leg—

And stomped down with full force!

BOOOOM!!!

The ground shattered like glass under his foot. The very soil beneath began to rupture and explode, and the entire terrain became fragmented and unstable.

More than ten meters below, Jia Heting suddenly felt the earth compact tightly around him—

Tens of thousands of tons of pressure crushing down on him in an instant.

“Aaahhh!!!”

A wail of agony burst from his throat.

Blood gushed from his mouth. His organs felt like they had been mashed into pulp.

Trapped deep underground, he completely lost the ability to move.

Although not yet dead, he couldn’t hold his transformed state for long.

If no one came to rescue him, he would die from a combination of his injuries and suffocation.

Fortunately, even in this desperate moment, Jia Heting didn’t forget that headquarters was watching.

With the last of his strength, he sent a distress signal to the Operations Command Center.

“Headquarters... need backup…”

The operator responsible for his region received the message and immediately reported it to Commander Zhu Zheng.

Zhu Zheng frowned upon hearing it—

But gave no reply.

So far, they still hadn’t gathered enough useful intel.

They needed to make sure that anyone the Celestial Squad deployed could take down Daiku Kai Enzu.

What’s more, behind Daiku Kai, there were still two members of the Moon of Corrosion who hadn’t even made a move yet.

Just then, Tu Yunlie, Chief of Operations, finally spoke up.

“This mission’s difficulty is too high. We need to send in someone with real strength.”

“How about sending in Liao Honglei?”

Liao Honglei was the vice-captain of the Celestial Squad, second only to Deng Shentong in combat strength.

Plus, his ability made him particularly well-suited to fight someone like Daiku Kai Enzu.

But Zhu Zheng slowly and firmly shook his head.

“Not yet. There are still two who haven’t acted.”

He had his eyes on Kurosawa Akira and Sakuraba Yushimitsu.

Those two were clearly there to support Daiku Kai.

If Liao Honglei went in, he wouldn’t have the upper hand in ability synergy.

Zhu Zheng laced his fingers under his chin, staring coldly at another battlefield.

“We can’t deploy the Celestial Squad lightly. We must extract enough intel first.”

Northern Battlefield — the fight was happening simultaneously.

This was Zhuo Feiyu’s squad, facing off against Kamiya Gedou and Akutsu Shinichiro.

Unlike Daiku Kai, these two didn’t care for the thrill of going one-on-many.

They were genuine villains—

The type that enjoyed torturing their opponents.

To them, any method was fair game, as long as it led to victory.

So the moment they showed up—the battle had already begun.

Kamiya Gedou was a Beast-type Superhuman. His ability codename: Serpent.

He burst out from the mist, and mid-air, his body began to twist and morph.

His head transformed into a flat white snakehead; his limbs retracted, and white scales began covering his entire body.

In seconds, he became a giant white snake—fifteen meters long!

The serpent roared as it lunged toward the five of them, jaws open wide, revealing rows upon rows of terrifying inward-curving fangs.

Anyone caught in that maw—unless ripped apart—would never escape.

Just the sight of it was oppressive enough to throw Zhuo Feiyu’s squad into disarray.

They quickly scattered, avoiding being crushed under the massive snake.

Wherever the white serpent slithered, it left a deep trench in the ground behind it.

Zhuo Feiyu remained calm under pressure. He opened his tactical backpack and, with a swing of his arm, flung out dozens of black rifles.

Each rifle had a bayonet affixed to the front, glowing with a ghostly blue light.

“Xia Lingling!”

Zhuo Feiyu shouted her name.

Xia Lingling frowned. “Got it!”

Just as her feet touched the ground, she stomped forward and sprinted toward the returning serpent.

She didn’t look delicate in the first place—

But what no one expected was just how explosive her strength could be.

Facing the massive serpent, she dodged its attack mid-air and landed behind it—at the tail.

With both arms, she grabbed its tail and let out a furious yell, “Haaah!!!”

Then—

She lifted the enormous fifteen-meter-long beast into the air, spun it around a few times—

And hurled it away!

Zhuo Feiyu raised both arms—

The thirty-six rifles floated before him in a line, and in an instant, they shot forward like lightning toward the snake!

These were specially-made weapons, each coated in lethal poison.

Even a small cut could kill a grown man instantly.

The serpent glanced at the flying rifles with a mocking look.

Such crude weapons could never pierce his hardened scales.

However, he was a bit surprised by the girl’s monstrous strength.

After hitting the ground, the serpent’s tail lashed into the air, sweeping across like a giant whip to smack away the rifles.

But Zhuo Feiyu never took his eyes off him.

Just as the tail swept, his fingers made a graceful loop in the air—

And the flying rifles twisted mid-flight, dodging the serpent’s counterattack.

“Telekinesis? Interesting…”

A deep, guttural voice came from the serpent’s mouth.

The thirty-six rifle bayonets now aimed straight at his head.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!…

Gunfire rang out in a rapid stream, bullets pelting the serpent’s body.

“Not even itchy,” the serpent sneered.

Zhuo Feiyu frowned.

These bullets were Origin Bullets—highly effective against superhumans, and issued directly by headquarters.

But the serpent’s outer layer was made of scale armor,

And scale armor didn’t react much to Origin Bullets.

Just as the serpent was basking in smugness—

He suddenly felt a sharp gust heading straight for him.

Whoosh!

A large-caliber armor-piercing round smashed into his eyeball.

Even with a thick protective membrane over it, the impact blurred his vision for a moment.

“Who did that?!”

The serpent snarled, turning toward the bullet’s origin.

Far off in the distance, he spotted a sly sniper aiming a heavy rifle directly at him.

A standard sniper rifle wouldn’t harm him—

But that shot had come from Yu Zhengyang, a veteran whose ability could enhance weapons, drawing out their full potential.

Just like his codename—Weapon Master.

While the serpent was locked in intense battle, Akutsu Shinichiro had crept through the mist.

He seized the opportunity to target the most delicate-looking team member—Yuan Hao.

Grinning savagely, he raised his metal bat and swung it straight at Yuan Hao’s head.

Yuan Hao turned and saw the attack coming. His face went pale, and clutching his chest, he screamed,

“Lingling!!”

In the next moment, Xia Lingling, who had just been battling the serpent, suddenly appeared in front of Yuan Hao with uncanny speed.

Clang!!

Akutsu’s metal bat slammed into her arm, producing a dull, heavy thud.

Akutsu was stunned.

He knew exactly how much power he’d put into that swing.

But he hadn’t shattered this woman’s arm—let alone her entire body?!

Xia Lingling stared him down, her eyes overflowing with murderous intent.

“You dared lay a hand on my husband?”

“Are you tired of living?”
