"Oh!"
The fist covered in deep blue biological armor clashed with the silver-white metallic fist in a straightforward manner.
A visible shockwave immediately spread out, blowing away all the scattered parts and blood nearby.
Chen Yuan stumbled back three steps, each step leaving an uneven footprint on the steel deck, as the mecha's cushioning system was operating at full capacity.
"This is astonishing! This guy's strength is actually comparable to mine?"
It's important to know that Chen Yuan had been injected with gene serum and amplified by the mecha's nanopulse power. Although he underestimated his opponent, the opponent's strength was indeed formidable.
Hailong also slid backward several meters before regaining his footing. His gaze behind his compound-eye goggles became even more serious: "How is this possible? I am a peak third-tier awakened being. After biological modification and genetic optimization, my physical attributes far surpass those of everyone in the old era. He actually managed to..."
Chen Yuan's strength and the strength of his armor far exceeded his expectations.
"interesting!"
Hailong let out a low shout, no longer relying solely on physical strength, and suddenly aimed the projector on his left wrist at Chen Yuan.
call out!call out!
Two highly viscous bio-ink projectiles were launched, but they were detonated in mid-air by the energy beam from Chen Yuan's palm cannon.
"boom!"
The jet-black, viscous substance exploded, forming a black mist that blocked out all vision.
"it's useless……"
Hailong sneered; his perception domain completely ignored visual obstacles.
In the instant the black mist filled the air, he had already pinpointed Chen Yuan's location using echolocation. The crystal at the tip of his trident shone brightly, and an invisible biological sound wave beam, focused to the extreme, silently pierced through the black mist and shot straight at Chen Yuan's chest and abdomen.
This blow was enough to shatter the tank's internal metal and steel structure.
Unable to dodge in time, Chen Yuan activated his energy shield to withstand the attack head-on. His energy shield, which had been at 200%, dropped to 176%, still within the range of the attack.
……
On the other side, just as the vortex was about to manipulate the water flow to assist the sea dragon, a cold, electronically synthesized female voice suddenly rang out:
"Your opponent... is me."
The attack arrived almost as soon as the sound was heard.
It wasn't aimed at the vortex itself, but rather precisely at the point where the water was about to surge up beneath her feet.
The high-speed sniper bullet tore through the air, piercing the metal ground with a deadly whistle, creating a small crater and instantly destroying the carefully condensed water pressure base of the vortex.
The vortex surge paused, and the heavy, dark green armor with deep blue swirling patterns slightly adjusted its posture. The cold gaze beneath the helmet locked onto the source of the sound... A figure stood silently at the edge of the high platform.
The silver-white streamlined mecha, under the dim light of the lighthouse, flowed with a faint blue energy glow, and the V-shaped goggles emitted a cold, inorganic blue light, like ancient, unmelting ice.
The weapons on the smooth-backed pedestals have been dormant for the time being, but no one doubts the deadly threat they embody.
She held a high-tech electromagnetic railgun in one hand, with traces of energy still emanating from the muzzle.
"Another tin can."
The sound of vortexes came through the mask, carrying the coldness of the deep sea and a hint of annoyance at being disturbed. "Support? There's no record of this kind of metal warrior in the database."
With a flick of her arms, she wielded two jet-flow wrist blades, which made a sound as ultra-high-pressure water jets swirled and pulsed around the blades as if they were alive.
The booster under her feet suddenly activated, and the thin film of water vapor surrounding her fluctuated violently, propelling her at a speed far beyond that of ordinary people, like a ferocious scorpionfish that has spotted its prey, along a winding route towards the platform where Feixue was.
Her movement trajectory was not a straight line, but rather she constantly changed direction by using the abandoned containers and metal structures around her, while manipulating the thin moisture in the air and the remaining water on the ground to create distorted lines of vision in front of her, and constantly flowing fine water curtains to interfere with locking on.
The expression beneath the snow-white mask remained unchanged, while the light from the V-shaped goggles flickered steadily, processing the distorted images transmitted by the visual sensors at high speed.
Her combat AI rapidly calculates the vortex's movement patterns, speed variables, and environmental interference factors.

(Three more chapters to come)
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
They raised their guns and fired; the electromagnetic sniper cannon opened fire swiftly, each shot extremely deadly.
The bullets weren't always aimed at the vortex itself, but rather precisely at blocking the point where she might land next, or destroying the cover she used for leverage and concealment.
The immense kinetic energy blasted metal fragments into countless pieces, forcing the vortex to constantly change course.
Several bullets that pierced through the water curtain and headed toward the main body, though their trajectories were distorted and they missed vital points, still struck the vortex's thick shoulder and chest armor hard, producing dull impact sounds and slightly slowing the vortex's momentum as it charged closer.
"It's no use, your bullets can't penetrate the barrier of the sea!"
With a cold shout, the distance between them rapidly closed.
She could already clearly see her own rapidly approaching figure reflected in the other person's goggles.
Feixue remained silent.
As the vortex surged beneath the platform, Feixue leaped up and slashed out with her arms, unleashing two powerful, high-pressure water jets capable of slicing through heavy armor.
Instead of retreating, she magnetically pulled the massive electromagnetic sniper cannon back onto her back.
At the same time, the base of the back-mounted floating cannon opened instantly.
"Swarm protocol activated, defense mode activated, interception network."
Four exquisitely designed AI floating cannons, each about the size of a basketball, silently slid out and instantly dispersed. Fine blue laser beams shot from their eyes, quickly weaving into a dense laser interception network in front of Feixue.
"laugh!!!"
Two violent high-pressure water jets crashed into the laser net, and the ultra-high pressure water flow and high-energy laser reacted violently instantly, bursting out a large amount of scorching white steam.
The water was cut, evaporated, and deflected by the laser mesh, turning into countless scalding droplets that splashed everywhere, without harming the snowflakes in the slightest.
"what?"
Vortex frowned, not expecting her opponent to have such a defensive method, as her body was in a leaping position in mid-air.
Just as the old force was exhausted and the new force had not yet been generated, the flying snow moved again.
The wrist armor slid open, the Shadow Blade wrist spike popped out, and the high-frequency particle short blade was injected with energy, emitting a low and dangerous hum, and the air around the blade was slightly distorted.
The thrusters beneath her feet ignited instantly, not to retreat, but to plunge downwards with ferocity, like a falcon making a precise swooping attack, piercing through the still-lingering scalding steam, her twin blades thrusting straight up and down at the connection between the vortex helmet and the breastplate, as well as the wrist joints where she controlled the water flow.
With extensive combat experience, the vortex force twisted its body with all its might in the critical moment, while simultaneously manipulating all the water around it that it could affect, including the splashing hot water droplets, and suddenly contracted towards the center, forming a chaotic but powerful water pressure impact that pushed the flying snow away.
"puff!"
Due to the vortex's evasion and the impact of the water, Feixue's upper piercing blade failed to hit the vital area of the neck, but it did grazed the thick biological armor on the vortex's shoulder. The high-frequency particles instantly melted through the tough biological material, leaving a charred deep mark that almost touched the inner armor.
The downward thrust was deflected by the wrist blade blocked by the vortex, only grazing her arm armor and sending up a trail of sparks.
At the same time, the water pressure from the hastily condensed eddy also slammed solidly into Feixue's side.
Even with the cushioning effect of the nanosuit and the instant activation of the energy shield, the enormous impact still caused Feixue to lose her balance, her body tumbling and crashing into a metal container to the side with a loud bang.
The vortex staggered to the ground, a burning pain shooting through the damaged area of its shoulder armor, and the internal biological tissues seemed to have been slightly affected as well.
She glanced at the smoking wound on her shoulder, and her face beneath the mask turned completely grim, like the sea before a storm.
"You dare to damage my beloved armor..."
Her voice was filled with icy killing intent, "I'm going to dismantle you into parts and soak your body in culture medium."
Feixue slowly rose from the dented container surface, and nanoparticles flowed rapidly, repairing the slight deformation at the impact point and the overload damage to the energy shield.
The light from the V-shaped eyepiece remained steady, as if the impact just now was merely a gentle breeze.
She flicked away non-existent stains from the wrist spikes.
"Analysis complete: The target's defenses are focused on physical and energy impacts, with low resistance to penetrating particle damage. Combat mode switch: close-quarters combat suppression, swarm protocol change: attack mode, coordinated marking, jamming fire."
The four floating cannons immediately dispersed, occupying different heights and angles. Their muzzles lit up, and instead of forming a defensive network, they began to engage in precise, low-power firing.
The next moment, beams of scorching laser light, like annoying venomous bees, relentlessly targeted the helmet visor, joints, and her hands as she tried to control the water flow. While they couldn't cause serious injury, they greatly disrupted her concentration and movements.
"I'm furious!"
With a roar, Vortex swung its wrist blade to deflect several laser beams, while simultaneously creating water currents beneath its feet to propel itself away from the two and regroup.
But would Feixue give her that chance?
The thrusters beneath his feet spewed fire again, and combined with the super mobility provided by the nanosuit, he clung to it like a shadow.
The Shadow Blade wrist thrusts transformed into streaks of blue death flashes, specifically targeting the gaps in Vortex's armor, joints, and damaged shoulders.
The buzzing of high-frequency particles and the hissing of high-pressure water jets intertwined once again, but the rhythm was different.
Forced into a defensive posture, Vortex swung her wrist blades in a dense, impenetrable manner, parrying the lightning-fast thrusts while simultaneously attempting to manipulate the fluids within Feixue's body—blood, lymph, and so on—in an effort to dismantle her opponent from within.
However, a strong resistance returned.
Feixue's nanosuit creates an extremely stable and closed internal environment system. Most of her bodily functions are maintained with the help of the suit, and her control over bodily fluids far exceeds that of ordinary people.
The vortex's power is like hitting an invisible high wall; it can only cause slight fluctuations and cannot cause any effective damage or control.
"How is that possible? How could someone possess an armored lighthouse of this level?"
Whirlpool was terrified. She had only ever felt this powerlessness when facing a mental barrier of the level of Captain Hailong.
Feixue did not answer.
Her attacks were like a precisely programmed dance—cold, efficient, and without any redundancy.
A feint attack lured Vortex into parrying from above, while a kick from below slammed into Vortex's knee joint. Although the kick was blocked by her bio-armor, the force of the impact still made her stagger.
Seizing the moment, a floating cannon fired a high-energy laser beam, which shot directly at the vortex's mask.
"Ok?"
The vortex jerked him backward instinctively.
It's now……
Feixue's other wrist spike, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, bypassed the parrying wrist blade and stabbed straight at the area below the throat exposed by the vortex's backward lean—a relatively weak point in the bio-armor's protection.
The chill of death instantly enveloped the vortex.
