The swirling water curtain enveloped Shui Que, appearing from a distance like a pulsating sphere of energy brimming with power.
"Fire!" a Captain from Ground shouted urgently as he sensed the situation was amiss.
A torrent of bullets surged forth like raindrops, but when they struck the energy water curtain surrounding Shui Que, they erupted into vibrant sparks.
At that moment, Shui Que controlled the radiant water sphere, which cascaded down like a dream.
Boom!
The violent impact kicked up a cloud of dust, engulfing the soldiers lying in ambush nearby.
Shui Que spread her arms and balanced on one leg, resembling a golden rooster standing tall as the water sphere slowly began to rise. However, just as it ascended slightly, a dense barrage of gunfire rained down upon it.
With a powerful strike of her palm against the water sphere, it trembled violently, sending forth countless waves of energy in the direction of the incoming bullets.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The soldiers hiding in buildings, on floors, and in trenches were thrown into chaos.
Even the Rope Trap was torn apart under Shui Que's overwhelming Pulse Energy attack, scattering into disarray.
Seizing the moment of confusion, the dimming water sphere swiftly darted towards the Metal Cage that trapped Berg.
"Dream on!"
A booming voice echoed above her head.
Shui Que suddenly looked up as the dark sky twisted ominously. A massive black pillar, as thick as a tree trunk decades old, came crashing down to block her path!
Shui Que summoned a water sphere to evade the attack, but she never expected that more pillars would continuously descend from above. They densely lined up in front of her, completely blocking her path, leaving her just a step away from the Cage of Berg. Yet, these mysterious pillars had obstructed her way!
As Shui Que contemplated turning back, she realized that more pillars were still falling from above, crashing down behind her and cutting off her escape route, attempting to trap her.
Understanding the enemy's intentions, Shui Que suddenly expanded the water sphere, harnessing its energy as it surged upward!
One by one, the descending pillars were knocked aside. The already chaotic pillars that were crashing down toward the ground seemed to be pulled back by an unseen force, hovering in mid-air before spiraling back toward Shui Que.
Boom!
Shui Que's water sphere was struck by one of the returning pillars. She was taken aback that the opponent could manipulate the falling pillars to come back at her.
Countless pillars surrounded her from all directions, relentlessly pounding down upon her. Whether on the ground or in the air, she found herself trapped in the center of this relentless assault!
"Ah!"
Shui Que grew even more furious as her water sphere erupted outward with a tremendous force.
A burst of white light exploded in mid-air, creating a halo.
Bang! Bang! Bang—
The numerous spiraling pillars lost control and were sent flying by the shockwave, crashing chaotically into the ground and buildings around them.
One pillar, closest to Lu Fei Fan, crashed violently against a building wall, puncturing a large hole. Lu Fei Fan took a deep breath, trying his best not to reveal himself. He blended into the darkness while covering himself with a piece of clothing, making it difficult to discern anything unusual about him.
However, the pillar that had lodged itself in the wall suddenly began to disintegrate slowly into dust, dissipating in the cold wind.
What is this?
Lu Fei Fan hurriedly looked up. In mid-air, Shui Que's water sphere had dimmed significantly, barely enveloping her within.
She was suspended in the air, facing a mysterious figure cloaked in black who was also hovering.
"Very good, very good indeed," the mysterious figure seemed quite pleased, repeating the phrase several times before finally praising, "As expected of a young and promising Top War General. Given time, you will undoubtedly become a formidable challenge! Unfortunately, you don't have much time left."
"Who are you?" Shui Que coldly questioned.
"Hmph, who I am is not important. What matters is that the Free Federation demands your immediate disappearance," the voice of the figure sounded somewhat aged.
"Then let's see if you have the ability to do so," Shui Que replied, unafraid of the provocation.
"Excellent." The figure was not angered by her response. "You are one of the more spirited Generals I've encountered! Now let me see what hidden techniques you possess. If you can defeat me today, I will let you all go!"
The last statement stirred something within Shui Que, but as she gazed at the mysterious figure shrouded in black, she could not sense their level of power.
"Don't let your hesitation block your freedom!" the figure suddenly exclaimed.
Shui Que snapped back to reality, gathering the water curtain that enveloped her body into her hands, transforming it into a swirling water sphere the size of a sports ball, with energy surging within it.
"Very good!" The figure was satisfied. "Come on!"
With a fierce roar, Shui Que charged at her opponent like a cannonball.
The water sphere exploded with light as she gripped it tightly in her hands, energy radiating wildly from the spinning orb.
As the opponent charged forward, a layer of black wall materialized around them. The light sphere crashed against this black barrier with a thunderous bang, echoing like an explosion in the air, causing everyone present to feel a jolt of fear.
Lu Fei Fan watched anxiously as the battle unfolded in the sky; this was a once-in-a-lifetime duel between Generals.
Earlier, Niu Han had faced Shui Que, and a Special-Class General was completely overwhelmed by Shui Que, a Top War General. This showcased the stark difference in their levels of power.
The classification of abilities in the Free Federation was initially unclear, but as people progressed in their training, distinct levels began to emerge.
Based on his initial awakening of abilities, Lu Fei Fan had transitioned from a novice to an experienced fighter. The next step for an experienced fighter was the Fu Elite stage, and beyond that lay the General level.
Each power tier was further divided into beginner, advanced, Special Class, and top-tier categories.
Lu Fei Fan's ability level could at best be considered that of an advanced experienced fighter. He was several tiers away from Shui Que and that mysterious person's General standard; battles against such opponents were beyond his reach. Faced with such adversaries, Lu Fei Fan could only turn and flee desperately.
In mid-air, Shui Que and the mysterious figure intertwined, their forms surrounded by bursts of Pulse Energy colliding with one another. The clash between light and darkness unleashed considerable energy; to an ordinary observer, it appeared as if they were merely darting back and forth. In reality, each strike they exchanged reverberated with loud booms against each other's Pulse Energy.
With his body modified by the mysterious Metal Ball, Lu Fei Fan's vision was sharper than that of ordinary people. He could discern the intense struggle between the two fighters, which was both breathtaking and alarming.
In the end, they both unleashed a powerful strike that sent them flying apart into different buildings. Shui Que soared upward, but behind her, another figure quickly followed suit, ignited by a faint orange Pulse Energy.
Lu Fei Fan recognized that it was Niu Han attempting to ambush Shui Que!
It seemed he had been waiting for this opportunity for quite some time. Lu Fei Fan swiftly aimed his weapon at Niu Han, ready to pull the trigger.
However, as Shui Que leaped into the air, it was as if she had eyes in the back of her head; she flicked a brilliant silver whip backward.
Bang!
The sphere of light exploded, and as the brilliance faded, Niu Han was sent crashing into a building, raising a cloud of dust. It was unclear how badly he was injured.
Lu Fei Fan aimed at the structure, ready to fire if Niu Han attempted to rise again, but Niu Han did not take flight as he had anticipated. It seemed that Shui Que had taught him a sufficient lesson this time.
In the air, Shui Que gathered rolling water orbs, continuously kneading them. Lu Fei Fan realized that she was infusing Pulse Energy into the water orbs, and it was chaotic and violent!
The Black-Robed Mysterious Man was taken aback and quickly raised a protective shield.
However, Shui Que's water orbs were compressed into oval blades and shot forth. The orbs suddenly multiplied into two, four, six...
They transformed into countless spheres of light that hurtled toward the mysterious man.
Boom! Boom! Boom—
Violent explosions erupted in mid-air, creating layers of luminous halos that illuminated the entire base.
Once the attack subsided, the disheveled mysterious man searched for Shui Que and found her darting toward the ground.
"Where do you think you're going?"
He shot straight toward her, his hand grasping at the air. Suddenly, space twisted, and columns surged forth from the distorted void, racing toward Shui Que as she descended.
Shui Que dodged left and right, allowing the columns to crash into the surrounding buildings. Her target remained that cage.
But behind the cage leaped a figure—a tall and muscular man draped in a grand cloak, his face stern and robotic-like.
Shui Que drew all the water orbs back to her. However, the ones in her left and right hands had shrunk to the size of her palms.
She couldn't care less about anything else. In a frenzy, she channeled all her Pulse Energy into the last two water spheres!
No matter who was chasing her from behind or blocking her path ahead, she intended to break through them all!
The Tall Man standing in front of Shui Que suddenly threw back his cloak with a clang!
A flash of cold light revealed a knife, its back covered in barbs, wielded by hands that had honed it to a sharp gleam. With a fierce green Pulse Energy, he swung it towards the charging Shui Que!
Shui Que reached out with one hand, clanging against the Combat Knife!
The blade was firmly grasped by her delicate white hand, but the Pulse Energy enveloping her hand clashed against the knife's vibrant energy, creating a terrifying shower of sparks.
"Die!" roared the mysterious figure behind her in fury.
Countless pillars materialized out of thin air, rushing towards Shui Que!
She spun around and swept her long leg out!
Boom!
The pillars exploded into pieces, and the surrounding buildings collapsed in a thunderous crash.
Wait.
The mysterious figure suddenly halted, realizing he had overlooked something.
Right, what happened to the last water sphere she had in her hand while diving just now?
Boom! Boom!
Two violently distorted, oval-shaped water spheres spiraled out from either side of the building, crashing through layers of structures like missiles, striking the mysterious figure and the tall man one after the other.
Bang! Bang!
Both were sent flying into the building, resulting in a massive explosion.
However, Shui Que swiftly darted towards Cage, her hands gripping the iron net that covered it!
Electricity crackled as it surged towards her, causing Shui Que, already drained of Pulse Energy, to scream in agony. Yet, she gritted her teeth and tore the iron net apart with her bare hands, flinging it aside!
A black pillar struck her back like a cannonball, sending her crashing into Cage, kicking up a cloud of dust and debris.
The mysterious figure descended slowly from mid-air, revealing his true lecherous face as his Rain Cloak vanished. He had a scruffy beard and deeply sunken features that made him appear sinister. Most notably, there was a green birthmark scar around his left eye socket, perhaps a reason he preferred to hide his true appearance.
The tall man stepped forward with his Zhan Dao in hand but suddenly halted. He stared at the already destroyed Cage, where sparks of electricity flickered amidst the morning mist. It seemed as if a pair of eyes were watching him.
Lu Fei Fan aimed his Sniper Rifle at the ruins. He was eager to know what had happened to Shui Que, but through the swirling dust, he slowly discerned a familiar figure emerging!
