The Predator clearly didn't hear Bai Ye's wails.
With a bang!
The Predator leaped onto the Xenomorph's back, its dagger piercing deep into the creature's spine.
The Xenomorph let out a sharp cry and thrashed violently. Bai Ye was once again slammed with immense force. The Xenomorph weighed nearly a ton, and the Predator, easily several hundred pounds, combined with the downward force of its jump…
Bai Ye felt like he was about to vomit his gallbladders.
Who did I offend?
I'm just a passerby!
Bai Ye thought, while quickly grabbing a flashbang.
"Damn it!" Bai Ye cursed, "If you guys won't let me have an easy time, then no one will!"
Bai Ye's palm opened, and the flashbang rolled away before detonating.
Almost instantaneously, a blinding flash erupted, accompanied by a sharp, piercing noise.
Bai Ye was sacrificing himself to harm the enemy, a thousand casualties for eight hundred self-inflicted wounds. At such close range, the flashbang's explosion affected Bai Ye as well. The blinding light instantly made Bai Ye's eyes sting, first turning his vision white, then quickly black, plunging him into temporary blindness.
At the same time…
Bai Ye's head was buzzing. The noise from the flashbang caused tinnitus, making him feel nauseous.
However, the good news was that the heavy sensation on top of him had disappeared. The Predator and the Xenomorph must have moved off him.
Bai Ye scrambled to his feet, only to bump his head against the wall. Clutching his head, he stumbled back, only to collide with a Xenomorph also disoriented in the hallway by the flashbang. Then…
Bang!
Bai Ye was kicked in the rear by the Xenomorph, sending him sprawling to the ground again. As he fell, his head throbbed, having apparently hit something. Immediately after…
The Predator, clutching his groin, knelt silently on the ground.
In that moment, the Predator felt anything but predatory.
The chaotic three-way battle continued for about two to three minutes. After all, Bai Ye, the Xenomorph, and the Predator were all resilient creatures. The effects of the flashbang were only significant for the initial moment.
As his vision slowly returned, Bai Ye could finally see. He was immediately met by the sight of a massive Xenomorph head.
Bai Ye instinctively threw a punch, striking the Xenomorph's head and sending it crashing against the wall with a clang.
But as soon as Bai Ye finished with the Xenomorph, he was kicked from behind by the Predator.
You bastard, you almost cost me my own little Predator.
Bai Ye lunged forward, falling to the ground as the Xenomorph attacked again. Its body swayed, and its tail whipped out, lashing the Predator's waist and sending it flying several meters away.
The three of them perfectly embodied the concept of a love-hate triangle.
However, the Xenomorph's fickle allegiance shifted quickly. After sending the Predator flying, it turned its attention back to Bai Ye, its maw opening wide as its spear-like tongue shot out towards him.
Bai Ye drew his Zanpakuto, and with a powerful swing, severed the Xenomorph's tongue.
But in that instant…
Buzz!
A piercing sound suddenly erupted. The Predator had risen from the ground, and its shoulder cannon fired.
With a roar, a beam of light shot out, striking the Xenomorph from behind before exploding.
Terrifying energy filled the corridor. Amidst the explosions, both the Xenomorph and Bai Ye were sent flying, crashing from the corridor into a room.
Bai Ye gritted his teeth and pushed himself up with his hands.
What the hell!
Why is it always me who suffers when you guys fight?
Meanwhile…
After firing its shoulder cannon, the Predator charged into the room, relentlessly pursuing the Xenomorph.
The Xenomorph's attacks were indiscriminate; any other living creature would become a target.
However, the Predator had its priorities, and clearly, in its eyes, the Xenomorph was the target to be eliminated first.
Bang!
With a flying tackle, the Predator landed on the Xenomorph's back, and its wrist blade plunged deep into the back of the creature's skull.
With a squelch, the wrist blade easily pierced the Xenomorph's body, splattering viscous corrosive fluid everywhere.
The Xenomorph thrashed wildly, darting around the room, while the Predator held on tightly, digging its arm deeper into the creature's skull, nearly inserting its entire limb.
Bai Ye's eyes lit up. The Xenomorph was difficult to kill, but the Predator seemed to know a simple method.
The Xenomorph's massive head appeared completely covered by its exoskeleton, but the area the Predator was attacking was precisely where the armor was missing, suggesting it was the creature's weak point.
But…
Thwack!
Just as the Predator was about to succeed, the Xenomorph's tail shot up and pierced its back.
In an instant, the Predator's body was impaled, its tail skewering it. With a violent shake, the Xenomorph flung the Predator away.
With a crash, the Predator slammed into a side wall.
Roar, roar, roar…
Despite being thrown aside, the intense pain seemed to have completely enraged the Xenomorph. It sprinted forward, intending to attack the Predator again.
But at that moment…
A black grenade rolled across the floor, quickly approaching the Xenomorph.
The Xenomorph, its attention drawn by the rolling sound, looked down. Then…
Boom!
A deafening explosion rocked the room, fire erupting. Waves of shockwaves blasted the Xenomorph backward.
Bai Ye had made his move!
"Ningshuang, Wujiang!"
Bai Ye quickly formed a hand seal. The Ningshuang sword, suspended in the air, shot forward, transforming into a streak of light heading straight for the Xenomorph.
The Xenomorph roared, its maw splitting open, its tail whipping out to swat away the sword light.
However, the Ningshuang sword was incredibly agile. It arced through the air, evading the tail, and headed for the back of the Xenomorph's head.
With a thud, the silver sword light pierced the Xenomorph's brain!
In that instant, time seemed to stand still. The Xenomorph's body froze. After about half a minute, its massive form slowly toppled to the side, crashing to the ground with a thud.
