"Ah!"
Yin Hu roared, then raised his fist and smashed it down again!
Bai Ye's palm attack was negligible to Yin Hu. He saw it as a joke and saw no need to dodge.
But the moment Yin Hu swung his fist towards Bai Ye...
Yin Hu's expression suddenly changed, turning pale.
Yin Hu involuntarily stopped his attack and retreated backward.
At that instant, silver-white cold air erupted from Yin Hu's entire body. Frost even condensed on his eyebrows, and then...
*Puff!*
Yin Hu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Strangely, the blood that landed on the ground also emitted a frosty mist 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 charged out from the side, slamming hard into Yin Hu.
After a loud crash, Yin Hu's body flew backward, smashing through the storefront window of a shop behind him and crashing inside.
Bai Ye nudged Tyrannomon, who immediately charged toward the shop. But at that moment...
From behind the shattered window, a golden ball of light shot out, striking Tyrannomon squarely. With a rumbling sound, it exploded, sending Tyrannomon flying.
*Bang!*
Tyrannomon's massive body hit the ground with a deafening sound, collapsing a section of the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Bai Ye looked forward. Behind the broken window, Yin Hu stood up again, panting. A mechanical arm gauntlet now covered Yin Hu's entire right arm, radiating a strong sense of cybernetic futurism and metallic luster.
A product of future technology!
This was quite an advanced item!
Bai Ye smirked, "As expected of Yin Hu. Ranking third in completed Forbidden Zone missions, and still having such a trump card hidden away. Looks like this will be fun."
...
In the city, to the west!
On top of a tall building, a night breeze blew.
Three figures stood at the 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 getting at?"
Chou Niu said, "Let's form an alliance. Otherwise, we have no hope of winning. Individually, none of us can defeat that guy. But together, we can put up a fight."
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 each other is better than confronting him. So, my intention is simple: we form an alliance, defeat the others, and then we settle our own score."
Hai Zhu asked, "Why not bring that woman along?"
"That woman, Mao Tu, is crazy," Chou Niu said, twitching his eye. "I tried to find her, but as soon as I entered the building's lobby, I found it was rigged with a minefield. I didn't even get a chance to speak to her."
Wu Ma asked, "What about Chen Long and Yin Hu?"
Chou Niu said, "If possible, I'd definitely want to bring them along. The more people in our alliance, the greater the probability of defeating that guy. And it would be fairer for us to fight individually afterwards. But the problem is, I don't know where Chen Long and Yin Hu are right now."
Wu Ma thought for a moment, "Then, let's find them first?"
Chou Niu nodded. "Agreed!"
But at this moment...
"You've listed everyone's names, yet mine is missing. So, the one you want to get rid of is me, right?"
Hearing the sudden voice, the three instantly changed their expressions and looked up sharply.
In the sky, someone stood on a flying sword, arms crossed, a mocking expression on his face, looking down at the three.
Zi Shu, Situ Chicheng!
"Why aren't you speaking? Weren't you planning to join forces to kill me?" Situ Chicheng said, "I'm here now, and you're all acting unresponsive. What's the meaning of this?"
The three looked at each other, and a silent agreement seemed to pass between them.
Suddenly, Chou Niu let out a roar, crossing his palms in front of him and thrusting them towards Situ Chicheng. "Air Cannon!"
Hai Zhu opened his jacket, revealing a strange device on the inside: a metal disc with an extremely thin piano wire wound around it.
As Hai Zhu flicked his wrist towards the sky, countless piano wires unfurled into the air.
Wu Ma was the most direct, pulling out a grenade and tossing it into the sky.
Situ Chicheng let out a cold laugh and formed a sword seal. "Tiangang Zhan Qi!"
Instantly, two ethereal swords appeared around Situ Chicheng, circling him.
Then...
"Shu Shan!" Situ Chicheng shouted again, "Wan Jian Jue!"
...
East of the city, Qinghe 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, and then, a golden ball of light was fired again. The moment it hit the ground...
*Boom!*
An explosion occurred, shattering the ground. Golden shockwaves continuously spread outward.
Tyrannomon immediately ran to Bai Ye's side, faithfully protecting him.
However, the impact wave was incredibly violent. Even Tyrannomon couldn't fully withstand it and was continuously pushed backward, leaving two tracks in the mud.
Indeed, a future technological weapon of the energy type!
Bai Ye grinned. This was a weapon that was almost impossible to acquire currently, though "almost impossible" still implied a small possibility.
Moreover, it was the Twelve Great Battles. The twelve individuals who had completed the most Forbidden Zone missions on the world battlefield. While the number of missions didn't directly equate to strength, the twelve participants in the Twelve Great Battles were undoubtedly among the strongest individuals on the world battlefield.
Therefore, Bai Ye was only slightly surprised before quickly regaining his composure.
Who didn't have a few hidden trump cards?
And...
"Just by putting on a mechanical arm, you think you can win?" Bai Ye sneered. "Can that thing help you expel the cold poison from the Xuan Ming Divine Palm?"
As if to prove Bai Ye's words, Yin Hu's face suddenly changed, and he bent over, spitting out a large mouthful of blood mixed with ice shards.
