"Ah!"
Yin Hu roared, then raised his fist and struck again!
Bai Ye's palm attack was of no consequence to Yin Hu. Such an attack was a joke in Yin Hu's eyes, completely unnecessary to dodge.
But the moment Yin Hu swung his fist down at Bai Ye...
Yin Hu's expression suddenly changed, turning pale.
Yin Hu involuntarily stopped his attack and retreated rapidly.
At that instant, a silver-white cold mist billowed from his entire body, even forming frost on his eyebrows. Then...
Puff!
Yin Hu suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. Strangely, the blood that landed on the ground also emitted a misty vapor and quickly froze, turning into red frost.
Yin Hu's body trembled slightly. He looked at Bai Ye and gritted his teeth, "What did you do?"
"As you can see..." Bai Ye spread his hands, "I'm killing you!"
Bang!
Tyrannomon suddenly burst out from the side, slamming hard into Yin Hu.
With a deafening roar, Yin Hu's body was sent flying, crashing into the display window of a shop behind him, shattering it and sending him hurtling inside.
Bai Ye nudged Tyrannomon, and the creature immediately charged towards the shop. But at that moment...
From behind the broken display window, a golden ball of light shot out, hitting Tyrannomon directly. With a thunderous explosion, it detonated, blasting Tyrannomon away.
Bang!
Tyrannomon's massive body crashed to the ground with a huge thud, caving in a section of the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Bai Ye couldn't help but look forward. Behind the shattered display window, Yin Hu stood up again, panting. A mechanical arm guard now covered Yin Hu's entire right arm, emanating a strong sense of advanced technology and metallic sheen, with a distinct cyberpunk flavor.
A product of future technology!
This could be considered a high-level item!
Bai Ye curled his lips, "As expected of Yin Hu. To be ranked third in the number of Forbidden Zone missions completed, to have such a treasure hidden away. It seems we'll have some fun."
...
City area, west side!
On top of a tall building, the night wind blew.
Three figures stood at three corners of the rooftop, facing each other.
Chou Niu, Wu Ma, and Hai Zhu!
After a moment of silence, Chou Niu spoke first, "Gentlemen, do you have the confidence to survive until the end?"
Hai Zhu sneered, "What are you trying to say?"
Chou Niu said, "Let's join forces. Otherwise, we have no hope of winning. Fighting alone, none of us are that person's match. But together, we stand a chance."
Wu Ma, who Bai Ye knew as Chi Gui, Michael Maquias, asked, "And then?"
"And then?" Chou Niu replied, "I know what you're worried about. But from any of our perspectives, fighting amongst ourselves is better than facing that person. So, my intention is simple: join forces to defeat the others, and then we can decide the victor amongst ourselves."
Hai Zhu asked, "Why not bring that woman along too?"
"Mao Tu, that woman is a lunatic," Chou Niu said, twitching his eye. "I tried to find her, but the moment I entered the building's lobby, it was rigged with a minefield. I didn't even get a chance to speak to her."
Wu Ma inquired, "What about Chen Long and Yin Hu?"
Chou Niu said, "If possible, I would naturally want to bring them too. The more people we have working together, the greater the chance of killing that person. Moreover, it would be fairer for us to fight individually afterward. But the problem is, I don't know where Chen Long and Yin Hu are right now."
Wu Ma pondered, "Then, should we find them first?"
Chou Niu nodded, "Agreed!"
Just then...
"You've called out everyone's names, yet you've omitted mine. Therefore, the person you want to get rid of is me, right?"
Upon hearing the sudden voice, the three instantly changed their expressions and looked up.
In the sky, someone stood on a flying sword, arms crossed, a playful smirk on his face, looking down at the three.
Zi Shu, Situ Chi Cheng!
"Why aren't you speaking? Weren't you planning to team up to kill me?" Situ Chi Cheng said, "Now that I'm here, you're all unresponsive. What's the reason for that?"
Chou Niu and the other two exchanged glances. A silent agreement seemed to pass between them.
Suddenly, Chou Niu let out a furious roar, his palms crossed in front of him. He pressed them towards Situ Chi Cheng's direction, "Air Cannon!"
Hai Zhu opened his jacket, revealing a strange device on the inside: a metal disc with extremely fine piano wire wound around it.
As Hai Zhu flung his hand towards the sky, countless piano wires unfurled upwards.
Wu Ma was the most direct, pulling out a grenade and tossing it into the air.
Situ Chi Cheng sneered, then formed a sword seal, "Tiangang Battle Qi!"
Instantly, two illusory miniature swords appeared around Situ Chi Cheng, swirling and encircling him.
Then...
"Shushan!" Situ Chi Cheng roared again, "Myriad Sword Art!"
...
City East, Qing He Pedestrian Street!
Yin Hu strode forward, raising his mechanical arm and opening his palm.
A dark cannon barrel appeared in the center of his palm. Immediately, another golden ball of light was fired. The moment it hit the ground...
Boom!
An explosion rang out, shattering the ground. Golden ripples then spread outwards.
Tyrannomon immediately rushed to Bai Ye's side, faithfully shielding him.
However, the shockwave was incredibly intense. Even Tyrannomon couldn't withstand it entirely, being pushed back continuously by the ripples, leaving two muddy tracks on the ground.
Truly an energy-type futuristic weapon!
Bai Ye grinned. This was a weapon that was almost impossible to obtain currently. Of course, "almost impossible" implied there was still a slim chance.
And after all, it was the Twelve Great Battles. The twelve people who completed the most Forbidden Zone missions in the entire world battlefield. While the number of missions didn't directly equate to strength, there was no doubt that the twelve participants of the Twelve Great Battles were among the top-tier powerhouses in the world battlefield.
Thus, Bai Ye was only slightly surprised before quickly regaining his composure.
Who didn't have something up their sleeve?
And more importantly...
"You attach a mechanical arm and think you can win?" Bai Ye scoffed. "Can that thing help you expel the cold poison from my Xuanming Divine Palm?"
As if to prove Bai Ye's words, Yin Hu's face suddenly changed. He bent over and spat out a large mouthful of blood mixed with ice shards.
