Armor Guardians

Chapter 166 Relying on Armor?

(Revising the text is really tiring and time-consuming. I originally wanted to take a break today, but I thought I'd post a little something. This story isn't long, so please don't mind. Once the revisions are finished, I'll add extra chapters as needed, and then I'll return to my usual two chapters a day, totaling 4,000 words.)
(As for the revisions, as mentioned before, there are some political and organized crime issues, such as changing the Dragon Group to the Gold Group, etc. Don't worry about missing any plot points.)

Almost the instant the purple-haired man transformed back into a mutant beast, Xia Qianmeng instantly exerted her strength, delivering a powerful punch infused with internal energy.

Its reaction was quick; it raised its claw and blocked Xia Qianmeng's attack. At the same time, the floor beneath the beast's feet began to crack, showing just how much force Xia Qianmeng had used this time.

"That's it?"

The indistinct voice of the alien beast opposite Xia Qianmeng rang out, seemingly disdainful of Xia Qianmeng's attack.

After deflecting Xia Qianmeng's downward punch, a black spike shot straight towards Xia Qianmeng's face...

This mutant beast was different from the mutant beasts Xia Qianmeng had encountered before. Most of the mutant beasts in the past were somewhat humanoid, but this mutant beast not only had eight eyes but also twelve flexible limbs. It looked very strange and did not resemble a spider at all.

At the critical moment, Xia Qianmeng used her hidden strength to send herself flying, narrowly avoiding the opponent's attack.

"How about that? Aren't I very different from other mutant beasts? After witnessing my strength, can you still shamelessly spout those boastful claims of killing as many as come?"

The speed was so fast it was like teleportation. As soon as the words were spoken, the mutant beast instantly appeared in front of Xia Qianmeng to finish her off, aiming for her head. Disobedient humans just die.

"Xia Qianmeng!"

Gao Fei wanted to go and help, but her opponents weren't just one mutant beast, but four, and each one was strangely strong.

“I am not the same person I used to be, and I don’t need your pity.”

Xia Qianmeng's voice reached Gao Fei's ears the next second.

In her moment of despair, the mutant beast's finishing attack failed. Enraged, Xia Qianmeng grabbed the spike that was about to pierce her head with her bare hands. *Snap!*
It snapped in two, and the alien beast's green blood gushed out, emitting white steam and possessing a corrosive effect.

If one strike doesn't work, just follow up with another.

The second, the third, the fourth... the remaining limbs and claws of the mutant beast no longer stayed behind, and all attacked Xia Qianmeng. It did not believe that Xia Qianmeng could deal with so many attacks with just two hands.

Xia Qianmeng didn't confront it head-on. After realizing what was happening, she escaped from the side, and at the same time, she didn't forget to kick the monster's weak point. Since all of its claws were attacking her, there were many weaknesses.

"Illuminate the armor, combine."

"Depend on!"

She couldn't summon the armor. Taking advantage of a moment of free time, Xia Qianmeng looked down at her hand that had just grabbed the opponent's black thorn and found that a layer of skin had peeled off in pain.

"Damn it! Even without armor, I'm going to get you."

"Well done."

Seeing Xia Qianmeng take the initiative to attack, the mutant beast did not retreat but instead advanced to meet Xia Qianmeng's attack.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Group's higher-ups were holding a meeting about Xia Qianmeng and the other armor summoners.

Although the number of mutant beasts has decreased after the great battle, they still appear from time to time. Moreover, Xia Qianmeng's previous humiliation made them realize that some of their armor summoners seemed to be overly reliant on their armors. Therefore, they need their armor summoners to undergo further training...
