Bai Ye looked at the blood on the ground and sneered again, "You're dying!"
Yin Hu gritted his teeth and remained silent, knowing that Bai Ye was deliberately trying to affect his emotions. The best course of action was to not respond, as if he had heard nothing.
Bang!
Enduring the bone-chilling cold spreading through his body, Yin Hu leaped towards Bai Ye again, intending to kill him.
However, the moment he reached Bai Ye, Banpresto suddenly twisted its body, and its huge tail swung towards Yin Hu.
Bang!
Yin Hu raised his mechanical arm, taking the full force of Banpresto's tail strike, and then…
The sound of mechanical gears grinding suddenly rang out as blades sprang from the edge of the mechanical arm.
With a swish!
A gash was opened on Banpresto's tail, and blood splattered onto the ground.
Bai Ye's pupils contracted as he watched Banpresto recoil in pain, his expression turning grim.
"It seems you're in a hurry to die!" Bai Ye took a deep breath and charged forward, "I'll oblige you!"
Bai Ye bent his legs slightly and dashed forward, directly at Yin Hu.
As he ran, Bai Ye produced a deck of playing cards and scattered them forward, sending countless cards flying into the air and drifting apart!
But in the next instant, the Paper God ability activated, causing the playing cards to hover in mid-air. Then, like countless sharp blades, they rained down forward.
Yin Hu quickly brought his mechanical arm in front of him. A ring of metal plates suddenly shot out from the front, forming a circle and becoming a shield.
Clang, clang, clang…
The playing cards struck the shield's surface, emitting crisp sounds.
Then…
Bai Ye leaped up and stomped heavily on the shield, forcing Yin Hu backward.
Yin Hu stabilized himself and immediately raised his mechanical arm, intending to fire. But at this moment, a strange noise came from the mechanical arm. After a tremor, it failed to fire an energy sphere as expected.
"I see…" Bai Ye chuckled. "This is a defective product, isn't it? Let me guess, this was supposed to be a full set of mechanical armor, but you only managed to get one arm?"
Yin Hu's expression turned ugly, and Bai Ye knew he had guessed correctly.
Advanced technology weapons like these were not easily obtainable. While not entirely impossible, under normal circumstances, the difficulty lay not only in their unknown origins but also in their inherent danger, making people hesitant to act.
However, if it was a defective product, that was a different story. Of course, even obtaining a defective item was a feat in itself, but being incomplete naturally meant there would be flaws.
So…
Strike while the iron is hot!
Bai Ye winked at Banpresto.
Banpresto was indeed intelligent, understanding what Bai Ye needed with just a glance.
Roar!
In the next moment, Banpresto threw its head back and let out a long roar. From its gaping maw, a torrent of fire suddenly appeared.
Super Flame!
Accompanied by Banpresto's roar, a vast expanse of flames was spewed out, instantly forming a sea of fire that surged forward. The flames rolled like ocean waves, layer upon layer, ceaselessly overlapping.
Yin Hu dared not confront it directly; flames were not something that could be blocked by a mere shield.
However, as Yin Hu attempted to retreat from the area covered by the flames…
"Fire Curse!"
Bai Ye formed a Taoist talisman in his hand and pressed it forward in the air. Immediately…
Boom!
The flames in the sea of fire exploded, and a massive shockwave sent Yin Hu flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Bai Ye seized the opportunity to attack, swiftly closing the distance to Yin Hu.
Yin Hu quickly raised his shield.
Clang!
Bai Ye's palm struck the shield directly.
Feeling the force transmitted through the shield, Yin Hu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't fear Bai Ye in terms of raw strength, even with Bai Ye's T-virus-enhanced body, it was no match for Yin Hu.
What Yin Hu feared was the chilling energy of the Xuanming Divine Palm; it was excruciatingly painful once it entered the body. At this moment, Yin Hu felt as if his internal organs were frozen solid, experiencing immense agony.
But as long as the shield blocked Bai Ye's palm, and their bodies didn't make direct contact…
"You thought that by not being touched, you could avoid the cold energy entering your body?"
Bai Ye's voice echoed softly.
Yin Hu instantly startled, then looked at his shield. A layer of frost had formed on its surface. Following this, a wave of cold energy dispersed, bypassed the shield, and began to wrap around Yin Hu's arm.
In a flash, Yin Hu's arm turned bluish-purple, showing signs of frostbite.
"Ugh…"
Feeling the pain, Yin Hu retreated continuously, clutching his elbow, trying to stop the cold energy from spreading further upward.
But at this very moment…
Swish!
A silver glint of sword light suddenly appeared behind Yin Hu and slashed down.
Accompanying Yin Hu's scream, a sound of tearing flesh rang out as the mechanical arm he wore flew through the air.
Bai Ye casually extended his hand, and the Frost Condensation Sword flew back to his side.
"There!" Bai Ye said to Yin Hu, "Your last resort is gone, isn't it?"
Yin Hu gritted his teeth, panting against the wall behind him.
"It seems you really have no more tricks left." Bai Ye grasped the Frost Condensation Sword, "Then die!"
Swish!
Bai Ye swept the Frost Condensation Sword forward forcefully, grazing Yin Hu's neck and leaving a thin line of blood.
In the next instant, Bai Ye turned and walked away.
Yin Hu's body slid slowly down the wall to the ground. Simultaneously, his special ability failed, and his robust body rapidly shriveled, quickly returning to its normal human physique, and then…
He breathed his last breath!
1:41 AM, Yin Hu, deceased!
…
With Yin Hu's elimination, there were now six survivors remaining in the Twelve Great Battles, half the original number. The end was one step closer.
However, this was not what made Bai Ye happiest. What made him happier was…
"You have eliminated a participant (Supernatural World)."
"You have obtained a Shard of the God Stone."
Finally, a Shard of the God Stone!
Those who participated in the Twelve Great Battles were the top twelve individuals who had completed the Forbidden Zone missions. This meant that every participant in the Twelve Great Battles must possess at least one Shard of the God Stone.
Then…
Youji, Sixi, Weiyang…
He had killed three people and hadn't obtained a single Shard of the God Stone. Bai Ye's sanity was close to collapsing. Although his luck with the lottery today was good, it couldn't possibly sacrifice his luck in other areas!
Fortunately, Yin Hu had been a cooperative fellow, finally allowing Bai Ye to see a Shard of the God Stone.
"I hope the next opponents will be just as cooperative."
Bai Ye thought contentedly when suddenly…
Boom!
Suddenly, in the quiet night, a loud explosion occurred.
…
