After finishing with the poker cards, Bai Ye clasped his hands together, and the Frost Sword flew into his palm.
Frost Sword Illusion (Transforms the sword into frost, randomly inflicting freeze, frostbite, and slow effects on targets within a 3-meter radius)
Frost Sword Illusion was useful, but not *that* useful.
A 6-meter diameter circular area was not small, but it wasn't enough to cover the space on both sides of Bai Ye horizontally, forcing enemies to charge through the frost.
Freeze, frostbite, and slow were all powerful negative effects, but their strength depended on the effect itself. Frost Sword Illusion's three effects were all at their nascent stage. Though potent, the intensity of the effects themselves was not high.
Still, the Frost Sword itself was only a blue-quality flying sword. For a blue-quality item, the Frost Sword was already considered above average. What more could one ask for!
As Bai Ye spread out his frost, the man and woman had already reached him.
The man's fist came flying. Bai Ye didn't even look, taking the punch head-on.
*Bang!*
The fist hit Bai Ye, forcing him back half a step, but only half a step!
Bai Ye was more concerned about the woman!
As expected, after Bai Ye took the punch, the woman's saber arrived.
At this moment, Bai Ye strongly felt the need to find another weapon. After the Frost Sword transformed into frost, he was left without a weapon in his hand!
Facing the woman's blade, Bai Ye reached out and made a grasping motion to the side.
Over a dozen flying poker cards flew towards Bai Ye, lining up to form a poker sword.
*Clang!*
Bai Ye swept the poker sword forward, colliding with the opponent's saber.
The poker sword was instantly shattered, but it had managed to deflect the enemy's saber.
But in that instant...
The mechanism of the saber whirred again, and a narrow blade suddenly sprang out from within, stabbing into Bai Ye's abdomen.
Bai Ye's pupils contracted sharply. The woman yanked her blade back, drawing a spray of blood.
Bai Ye clutched his wound, staggering back, blood seeping through his fingers.
The woman sneered, "This is your choice. You insisted on courting death!"
As the woman spoke, she prepared to swing her saber at Bai Ye again, but at that moment...
"Ya~"
Goodra stepped in front of Bai Ye, flicking its head tendrils forward. They slammed into the woman's blade, forcing her back.
Even so, Bai Ye's injury invigorated everyone else. They launched another charge forward, braving the constantly flying poker cards and swirling frost.
One man, as if to provoke, deliberately moved closer to Bai Ye, intending to charge past him with a mocking grin on his face, believing he could stop everyone alone? Courting death!
But in that instant...
Bai Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed the man's shoulder.
"Did I agree to let you pass?"
Bai Ye roared, then violently lifted the man and slammed him onto the ground.
*Bang!*
The man crashed onto the ground. Just as he was about to retaliate, Bai Ye's foot stomped down towards his head.
The ground emitted a dull thud, a spiderweb of cracks spreading across it. The man's head sunk halfway into the earth, and the other half was brutally crushed by Bai Ye.
"Goodra!" Bai Ye yelled, "Meteor Mash!"
As the words "Meteor Mash" left his lips, the people around wanted to curse.
Again?
Meteor Mash, a move with such a wide range and immense power, was too unfair to use on a bridge. There was no other option but to retreat beyond its attack range.
The best strategy should have been to defeat Goodra before it used Meteor Mash, thus preventing its execution.
However, Goodra's greatest strength wasn't its offense, but its defense!
But there was another weakness that could be exploited: its charging time!
Some people hesitated or searched for places to dodge, while others acted decisively, charging forward, intending to rush through during Meteor Mash's charging period.
But...
Bai Ye directly took out the last three decks of poker cards and flung them forward.
In an instant, poker cards filled the air, swirling and blocking the path under Bai Ye's Paper God ability.
Then...
Bai Ye gritted his teeth and charged forward.
A sharp pain shot through his abdomen, but the injury didn't make Bai Ye falter; instead, it made him...
Ferocious!
*Bang!*
Bai Ye closed in on one of his opponents, grabbed their head, and before they could react, slammed their head against a nearby car.
A dull thud echoed as the car's hood was dented. The next moment, Bai Ye reached out, and the Frost Sword flew into his hand.
*Puff!*
With a swift movement, Bai Ye plunged the sword into the opponent's chest, pinning them.
Having killed one person instantly, Bai Ye had no intention of stopping. He directly lifted the corpse and threw it towards the surrounding crowd.
Everyone scattered, but Bai Ye also killed his way through them in that instant.
A woman saw Bai Ye charging towards her and quickly raised her hand in a gun-like gesture, saying, "Finger Gun!"
*Bang!*
The woman mimicked the sound of a gunshot with her voice, and an invisible bullet seemed to pierce Bai Ye's shoulder.
A spray of blood flew out, causing Bai Ye to stumble!
But Bai Ye's speed didn't decrease!
Bai Ye forcibly endured the pain, killing his way to the woman, reaching out and grabbing her throat.
*Bang!*
Bai Ye smashed the woman against a nearby car. While she was in pain, he forcefully twisted her neck.
*Crack!*
A crisp sound of bone cracking echoed as the woman's neck was snapped.
"Bastards!"
The leader of the Hidden Dragon Association roared in anger. Bai Ye had killed two people in rapid succession, both from the Hidden Dragon Association!
Moreover, they had thought that with Bai Ye injured, they could finally break through, but unexpectedly, the blood and pain had only ignited Bai Ye's ferocity, making him fight even harder!
He exchanged glances with the woman from the trio, and they both charged towards Bai Ye again, but...
"Earth Spell!"
Bai Ye produced a talisman and threw it to the side. As the two closed in, an earth wall rose from the ground, propelling Bai Ye upwards. He leaped over them and charged towards their rear.
As Bai Ye advanced, countless poker cards followed him, slashing forward.
A man raised a riot shield to block. The poker cards struck it repeatedly, emitting crisp sounds.
Finally, the sound of poker cards hitting the shield ceased. The man cautiously peeked out and was instantly shocked.
Bai Ye had already reached him.
*Puff!*
Bai Ye, holding the Frost Sword, pierced through the man's side neck.
