Chapter 157
Lu Zhiwei’s entire body lit up with light as the system fully armed her with a tight black combat suit, adorned with various combat weapons and magazines, completely transforming her appearance into a formidable and efficient warrior.
Five guns floated beside her, entirely controlled by her own Spiritual Power, while she held two machine guns in her hands.
“Come on! Fire at will!”
Lu Zhiwei shouted loudly!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Boom! Boom!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Machine guns, rocket launchers, and shotguns fired ruthlessly at the Extreme Ice Tigers below, the terrifying rockets falling and hitting an Extreme Ice Tiger, exploding on impact and blasting it into fragments. The explosive shockwave spread, flinging another two Extreme Ice Tigers away.
Roar! Roar!
The Extreme Ice Tigers, enraged by her, charged persistently, but Lu Zhiwei’s machine guns were not for show, piercing the frontmost Extreme Ice Tiger into a wasp nest, while the other two attempting a flank attack were decapitated by her rocket crossbows with a single shot!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire forest echoed with the intense sounds of explosions and rumblings as Lu Zhiwei, firing from atop a tree branch, obliterated a large swath of Extreme Ice Tigers!
“Impressive.”
Beifei watched Lu Zhiwei in astonishment. Although he was aware of Lu Zhiwei’s system capabilities and knew her system included various firearms,
Lu Zhiwei was not typically a girl who liked to show off her firearms. She had never flaunted them in front of him, nor had she ever threatened him with a gun on a whim.
Instead, she would always carry a little notebook, eagerly following him to learn reasoning.
Lu Hong had taught her well since childhood, telling her guns should only be used against desolate beasts or bad people, and thus she never used guns in front of Beifei.
Because of this, Beifei had momentarily even forgotten that Lu Zhiwei was a martial artist, an S-grade super detective capable of utilizing various firearms!
When Lu Zhiwei got serious, she was utterly ruthless, wielding powerful weapons and bombarding relentlessly, completely routing the frontmost Extreme Ice Tigers.
However, she couldn’t cover the Extreme Ice Tigers behind her. Their ice blades shot from the rear, but fortunately, Beifei was there to blast away those trying to leap at them.
“Hahaha! Did you really think I was scared of you? Behave yourselves!”
The more Lu Zhiwei bombarded, the more thrilled she became. She had been chased by the Extreme Ice Tigers earlier because she was protecting He Yun, a novice literary Dao practitioner of Qi-Controlling, without anyone to back her up. Now, with Beifei watching the gaps, she could unleash her capability without restraint.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Not only the Extreme Ice Tigers but also the tall trees suffered. The forest was filled with gun smoke, scattered with shattered remnants of Extreme Ice Tigers composed of ice blocks, presenting a grisly scene.
“Haha, I have never had such a thrilling fight except in school simulation classes, Beifei, do you want to try a heavy machine gun? It’s exhilarating!”
Lu Zhiwei excitedly tossed a light machine gun to Beifei.
Beifei realized he had indeed underestimated Lu Zhiwei, who although usually carefree and occasionally brandishing her fists, excelled not in close combat but in long-range bombardment.
“I’ll give it a try.”
Beifei had never handled firearms before, but given the numerous enemies, he found ranged attacks obviously more convenient than close combat. He attempted firing a few bursts, but the strong recoil was uncomfortable for him, and his shots wildly missed the mark.
“You can’t shoot like that, there’s recoil in a machine gun. You need to do it like this…”
As Lu Zhiwei controlled her firearms to fire automatically, she also quickly instructed Beifei on how to use the light machine gun. Beifei learned quickly; his “Learn by Analogy” ability soon mastered the heavy machine gun, and then he began wildly firing at the Extreme Ice Tigers!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Back to back, the two were engulfed in gunfire and swirling smoke, flashes of light echoing through the forest as they took down the charging Extreme Ice Tigers. Beifei also managed to throw a few grenades down, wiping them out entirely.
In a brawl, Lu Zhiwei’s system capabilities were simply unbeatable.
“Not bad! You’re a quick learner; together, we can be a formidable duo!”
Lu Zhiwei laughed heartily, her weapons ceaselessly softening up the once formidable Extreme Ice Tigers into a fleeing mess.
“Not bad.”
Beifei didn’t continue using brute force; while he was also formidable in close combat, it was better to engage from a distance, particularly since they had the geographical advantage. Commanding the high ground, they bombed the Extreme Ice Tigers, who couldn’t mount an attack.
The group of Extreme Ice Tigers retreated far away. They could only try to dodge behind trees, but the power of the rockets was not to be underestimated. The damage these weapons could cause was linked to Lu Zhiwei’s level of cultivation, and being in the advanced stages of Qi-Controlling, she posed a significant deterrence against the Extreme Ice Tigers.
All around, the trees were blasted askew by Lu Zhiwei’s formidable firepower, clearing a large area in the forest.
But the Extreme Ice Tigers collectively retreated to a distance, no longer attempting an attack but instead spraying whirlwinds. These frost-laden cyclones whipped up strong winds in the forest, quickly sweeping up the fragmented remains of the Extreme Ice Tigers and transforming them into sharp ice blades.
