Bai Ye frowned, then leaped backward.
After Bai Ye leaped away, the arm landed on the ground, and then Daki’s back began to writhe, and a man slowly emerged from Daki’s body.
He had straw-like green hair and a very peculiar physique. His chest was filled with explosive muscles, but his waist was incredibly slender, so slender it didn't seem like a normal human’s waist, only about as thick as two fists pressed together.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry…” The man knelt before Daki, reaching out to wipe away her tears and said, “If you cry, you won’t be pretty anymore. How can you become the most beautiful oiran? Oh dear, didn’t I tell you before not to be so reckless when you’re alone?”
As the man wiped away Daki’s tears, he also reached out to caress her wounds.
The next instant, the burns on Daki’s body, which had appeared due to the explosion, healed instantly. Her skin was so smooth and tender that it didn’t seem like she had been injured at all.
“There, there,” the man patted Daki’s head and said, “Leave the rest to me.”
As he spoke, the man stood up and turned his gaze towards Bai Ye.
It was only now that Bai Ye could fully see the other person’s face.
In stark contrast to Daki’s exquisitely beautiful face, the man was extremely ugly.
His face was strange, thin and long, with patches of black spots, and his teeth were uneven, like a saw.
But…
In his open eyes, there were numbers…
Upper Rank, Six!
Bai Ye reached up and wiped his face, and the Predator’s bio-mask appeared.
Bio-scan initiated…
Bio-scan completed…

Gyutaro?
It really is Upper Rank Six!
“So that’s how it is!” Bai Ye looked at Gyutaro and said, “So there are two Upper Rank Sixes, or rather, you are the true Upper Rank Six? No wonder the woman behind you is so weak; she’s an imposter!”
“You’re spouting nonsense,” Daki said angrily, “I am Upper Rank Six.”
“There, there, don’t be angry,” Gyutaro patted Daki’s head and said, “He’s deliberately trying to provoke you. If you get angry, you’ll become less beautiful.”
As Gyutaro spoke, he shielded Daki.
“Can you stop talking?” Gyutaro said, scratching his own body and drawing blood streaks on his skin, a look of anxiety appearing on his face. “My sister is difficult to appease.”
Bai Ye said, “Kill me, and then I naturally won’t be able to speak.”
Gyutaro thought for a moment, then said, “That’s a good idea.”
As he spoke, Gyutaro spread his hands, and then blood blisters emerged from his palms.
Those blood blisters writhed constantly, like swelling flesh, and quickly transformed into two scythes wrapped in membrane.
The moment the scythes took shape, Gyutaro suddenly raised his hand and hurled one of the scythes towards Bai Ye.
The scythe spun rapidly, its speed terrifyingly fast.
But when it hit Bai Ye…
Zzzt!
A large amount of electricity suddenly surged from Bai Ye’s body. The flying scythe pierced directly through Bai Ye’s body, and then…
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed from behind Bai Ye.
A large cloud of dust billowed up. When Bai Ye turned around, a house behind him had collapsed, reduced to rubble.
This power…
Bai Ye looked back at Gyutaro. Indeed, this must be the true Upper Rank Six!
Gyutaro had only attacked once, and Bai Ye could clearly feel that this guy’s strength was far beyond Daki’s.
At the same time…
Gyutaro extended his hand, and the scythe spun back into his grasp.
Bang!
The moment the scythe returned to his hand, Gyutaro thrust his legs forward and leaped towards Bai Ye.
So fast!
However…
Bai Ye wasn’t particularly surprised. The scanned information indicated Gyutaro’s speed reached a numerical value of 271, which was a terrifying figure.
At least in terms of movement speed, Bai Ye was completely unable to match Gyutaro; his speed was nearly a hundred points lower!
Of course, this was assuming Bai Ye wasn’t utilizing his elementalized body for movement.
Gyutaro was fast…
But he couldn't be faster than electricity!
The instant Gyutaro lunged close, Bai Ye suddenly disappeared and then suddenly reappeared, as if he hadn’t moved at all, and Gyutaro had passed right through him.
The next moment…
Bai Ye suddenly swung his leg backward. Gyutaro quickly raised his arm to block.
Bang!
A punch-to-flesh collision.
In terms of strength, Gyutaro’s numerical value was 188, which wasn’t that terrifying for Bai Ye. With the ongoing battles and the improvement of the Five Spirits Incantations, Bai Ye’s current strength was 173, not much different.
Therefore, this collision was evenly matched, and then…
After blocking Bai Ye’s strike, Gyutaro suddenly began to swing his scythe rapidly.
Gyutaro was not only fast in movement but also astonishingly fast in attack. As his scythes swung, they turned into streaks of red light, continuously slashing towards Bai Ye.
From a third-person perspective, it would appear to be the blink of an eye as the bloody lights from the scythes crisscrossed like a vast net, completely enveloping Bai Ye.
The attack speed was also unimaginably terrifying.
Bai Ye had never encountered someone so fast.
To be honest, Bai Ye admitted he couldn’t dodge Gyutaro’s scythes, nor did he possess the ability to block such rapid strikes.
But…
What did that matter?
Black sludge surged from Bai Ye’s body, and the Steel Slime transformed into the Aries Cloth.
Then…
Clang, clang, clang!
Bai Ye stood there, showing no intention of moving.
Gyutaro’s scythes continuously struck the Aries Cloth, golden sparks erupting and scattering in all directions.
As a result, only some indentations were left on the Aries Cloth, and even those indentations quickly healed as the Steel Slime writhed.
A look of surprise appeared on Gyutaro’s face, and his movements slowed by half a beat. It was at this moment…
Bai Ye extended his index finger and poked Gyutaro’s forehead.
Telekinesis!
Bang!
Gyutaro felt as if he had been struck on the head by a heavy object, and he was instantly sent flying backward.
