Bai Ye saw the silver moon hanging high in the sky and knew that someone was about to play the role of the sneaky one.
As expected, just as Bai Ye was thinking, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind him.
Bai Ye decisively leaped to the side and then saw a round of sunwheel fiercely smash into the ground, shattering a patch of it.
Li Jia Yi, had arrived! 138 Reading Network
Watching the sunwheel that had landed float up again, Bai Ye quickly looked around but couldn't find Li Jia Yi.
These twin sun and moon wheels were similar to flying swords, controlled by mental power. They could be held in hand as weapons or used for mid to long-range attacks.
Li Jia Yi was clearly experienced in the art of being sneaky, not showing himself at all but hiding in a corner to control the twin sun and moon wheels for attacks.
After looking around, Bai Ye still couldn't find Li Jia Yi.
Bai Ye felt he had it tough. He just wanted to be the sneaky one, but not only did he fail to do so, he was being harassed by two sneaky opponents in turns.
While Bai Ye was searching for Li Jia Yi's figure, the twin sun and moon wheels descended from the sky once more.
One from the left, one from the right, they spun continuously, closing in on Bai Ye from both sides.
Bai Ye immediately raised his sword, and Frost Condensation Sword slashed out left and right, colliding with the twin sun and moon wheels.
Clang, clang!
A clear, crisp sound of metal clashing echoed.
After shaking off the twin sun and moon wheels, Bai Ye abruptly lowered his waist, his sword held steady, and he sprinted rapidly down the street.
The twin sun and moon wheels pursued relentlessly, sticking close to Bai Ye, and then slashed down at him.
"Earth Spell!"
Bai Ye, while running, formed a mudra with his hand, and a wall of earth suddenly rose from the ground, blocking behind him.
Boom!
A rumbling sound occurred as the twin sun and moon wheels struck, smashing the earth wall to pieces.
Amidst the flying debris, Bai Ye's gaze was not on the twin sun and moon wheels but was constantly scanning the surrounding buildings.
To change this passive situation, he first needed to find Li Jia Yi.
Although the twin sun and moon wheels could be controlled remotely by mental power, they were not without range limitations. Therefore, if Bai Ye kept running, for the twin sun and moon wheels to chase him, Li Jia Yi would inevitably have to move as well.
Suddenly, Bai Ye saw a fleeting shadow pass by the window of a building on his flank.
Bai Ye grinned, took out a deck of playing cards, and said, "Found you!"
Bai Ye flicked his wrist, unleashing flying cards that flew towards the window in a dense swarm, smashing it with a swish.
Li Jia Yi, who was leaning against the window, was startled. He had been discovered?
The next moment, Li Jia Yi found he had no time to worry about whether he had been discovered.
After shattering the window, the playing cards actually spun within the room and then flew back towards the window.
Li Jia Yi quickly grabbed a wardrobe on the side to shield himself.
Bang, bang, bang...
The playing cards continuously struck the wardrobe, smashing and piercing it.
Seeing this, Li Jia Yi decisively stepped onto the windowsill and leaped out of the window. Upon landing, he propped himself up with one palm and rolled forward to dissipate the impact.
Bai Ye strode forward, a smile on his face, his wrist constantly flicking. Frost Condensation Sword danced like a silver serpent, creating streaks of silver sword flowers.
"Old friend, you've finally decided to come out." Bai Ye licked his lips and grinned at Li Jia Yi, "How about we cooperate one more time?"
Li Jia Yi pouted, "How do you want to cooperate?"
"With our chemistry and strength, if we join forces, wouldn't it be easy to take down the others?" Bai Ye said with a smile, "The Dragon and Snake partnership, a perfect match!"
Li Jia Yi's zodiac identity was the Snake.
Li Jia Yi said mockingly, "After taking down everyone, you'll take me down, right?"
Bai Ye replied, "That would be a perfect ending, wouldn't it?"
Li Jia Yi shrugged, then waved his hand, and the twin sun and moon wheels simultaneously slashed towards Bai Ye, while Li Jia Yi...
Turned and ran!
Li Jia Yi did not know Bai Ye's strength completely, but he certainly knew it better than others, especially after witnessing it in the Death Amusement Park.
Being the sneaky one was one thing, but a head-on confrontation...
He couldn't win!
So, Li Jia Yi was straightforward; if he couldn't win, he'd run. For survival, there was no shame in it.
Bai Ye shook his head, "You've truly disappointed me. I genuinely wanted to cooperate with you, old friend..."
As Bai Ye spoke, he slightly lowered his stance, resting Frost Condensation Sword at his waist, and then...
Bang!
Bai Ye charged forward, his Frost Condensation Sword held in a drawing posture and slashing out, directly deflecting the twin sun and moon wheels simultaneously, and then giving chase to Li Jia Yi.
Li Jia Yi looked back and was startled. Such speed!
Bai Ye's speed was even faster than when he was in the Death Amusement Park!
Li Jia Yi was surprised that Bai Ye had improved so much in such a short time, but this time, he had misunderstood.
Bai Ye's increased speed was entirely due to the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū.
The core of the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū style was speed!
The combat method of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū was to use extremely high movement speed to continuously search for or create weak points in the opponent while moving, and then use extremely fast sword drawing speed to defeat the opponent by exploiting their weak points before they could react.
Therefore, when Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū was employed, a divine speed effect would be triggered, simultaneously increasing movement speed and sword drawing speed.
Within twenty meters, Bai Ye easily caught up to Li Jia Yi, and the moment he was by Li Jia Yi's side, he drew his sword and slashed horizontally.
The sword was incredibly fast, but Li Jia Yi's reaction was not slow either. He forcefully stopped his steps and leaned his body backward.
A flash of sword light swept past Li Jia Yi's front!
"I've already seen through your swordsmanship. Before every sword strike, you need to assume a drawing stance, right?" Li Jia Yi sneered, "So, all I need to do is dodge in advance when you assume the drawing stance."
Bai Ye smiled, "Is that so?"
Swoosh!
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, a tear appeared on the collar of Li Jia Yi's chest.
Li Jia Yi froze for a moment, then his expression turned to shock.
"Do you think dodging in advance will always let you escape?" Bai Ye once again lowered his stance, assuming the drawing posture, "The next sword will be for your throat!"
Bang!
Bai Ye's bent legs forcefully straightened, and he instantly shot forward, closing the distance and reaching Li Jia Yi.
"Twin Sun and Moon Wheels!"
Li Jia Yi shouted quickly, and the twin sun and moon wheels, which had just flown back from behind, spun rapidly and slashed down at Bai Ye.
Clang!
A clear, crisp sound of metal clashing echoed!
