Unable to locate the other party, he decided to force them out.
Large swathes of electricity surged forward.
Bai Ye couldn't pinpoint the opponent's exact location, but he could infer their direction from the attacks.
Therefore, he decided to envelop the entire area with electricity.
The opponent would naturally be forced to reveal themselves!
Of course, this would consume a significant amount of stamina, but Bai Ye couldn't think of a better solution for the moment.
Boom, boom, boom!
As arcs of electricity shot forward, earth-shattering roars echoed continuously.
Pillars of lightning erupted from the ground, covering a vast expanse.
Suddenly, the grass in front began to rustle, and a figure appeared, swiftly maneuvering to the side.
"Found you!"
Bai Ye grinned and quickly pursued.
But…
Abruptly, Bai Ye felt an invisible force enveloping him, even causing his body to float uncontrollably into the air.
Mid-air, Bai Ye looked ahead and saw a bipedal fox, holding two spoons.
"Alakazam!"
The Psychic-type creature let out a cry, a faint aura emanating from its body. The invisible force binding Bai Ye's body immediately became more pronounced.
"A Pokémon?" Bai Ye frowned. "Psychic-type!"
The invisible force made Bai Ye uncomfortable. Not only could it restrain his movements, but it could also suppress the elementalization of his Rumble-Rumble Fruit through its psychic abilities.
However…
Bai Ye struggled, his fingers slowly inching backward.
A Poké Ball appeared in Bai Ye's hand. With a flick of his fingers, the Poké Ball dropped downward.
"Gengar!" Bai Ye commanded. "Shadow Ball!"
The moment the Poké Ball hit the ground, it flashed with light, and Gengar appeared. It bared its fanged grin and raised its hands high.
A purple orb of light materialized in Gengar's hand, coalescing into a Shadow Ball, which it then hurled forward with all its might.
Boom!
A fierce explosion erupted.
The Shadow Ball pulverized the ground.
Alakazam leaped, and Gengar seized the opportunity, swiftly pursuing it.
At this moment, Bai Ye felt the invisible force restraining him suddenly dissipate, and he fell from the air.
He decided to let the Pokémon handle the Pokémon battle.
With Gengar in pursuit of Alakazam, Bai Ye threw his hands apart.
Shocking Thunder and Purple Lightning, along with Blazing Phoenix and Flying Fire, shot forward simultaneously.
Twin Blades Merged (When Shocking Thunder and Purple Lightning, along with Blazing Phoenix and Flying Fire, are wielded together, lightning and fire combine, increasing power by 50%)
Shocking Thunder and Purple Lightning transformed into currents, while Blazing Phoenix and Flying Fire became flames.
Lightning and fire intertwined, twisting and circling, relentlessly pursuing forward.
The surrounding grass ignited, consumed by the lightning and fire.
Then…
Boom!
Suddenly, a burst of sound occurred.
From a pile of grass ahead, two colossal blood blades emerged. Upon contact with the lightning and fire, they emitted a tremendous clang, repelling the elemental assault.
"Blood Style Combat?" Bai Ye exclaimed with a hint of surprise. "So, they've been to the Blood Realm?"
Bai Ye recognized the ability being used: a special power that involved fighting with blood, originating from a region known as the Blood Realm.
Furthermore, the Blood Realm was considered a medium-to-high-tier region, not easily accessible to everyone at the current stage.
However, upon further reflection, Bai Ye felt he was being overly surprised.
The City of Ruins was also a medium-to-high-tier region, given its use and production of futuristic weaponry, a place where not just anyone could operate.
Therefore, any chosen ones appearing here could automatically be classified among the top-tier in terms of strength.
Bai Ye was somewhat curious about the identity of the opponent. Did he know them?
Then…
A somewhat familiar face appeared before Bai Ye.
He appeared to be in his early thirties, wearing a short jacket over a form-fitting, technologically advanced combat suit. A sniper rifle was slung over his back, and he held two blood blades formed from solidified blood.
Yimi. In Bai Ye's previous life, Yimi had survived to the end and was one of the experts who participated in the Central Region War.
In Bai Ye's past life, Yimi wasn't the absolute pinnacle, but he was certainly first-class. Seeing that face, Bai Ye had a moment of realization.
In his previous life, Yimi's trademarks were Blood Style Combat, Blood Armor, and Blood Freeze Path – three abilities from the Blood Realm, earning him the moniker "Blood Ghost."
However, had this individual acquired abilities from the Blood Realm so early?
Or perhaps, Blood Realm abilities were also growth-oriented?
In addition to his personal strength, there was another important detail!
Yimi was a member of the Crouching Dragon Society!
However, Yimi wasn't from the world of superpowers. In Bai Ye's memory, he was a chosen one from a future mechanical civilization.
When the Crouching Dragon Society expanded its recruitment, Yimi joined and eventually rose to become a cadre-level enforcer.
Therefore, Bai Ye couldn't definitively ascertain if the current Yimi was affiliated with the Crouching Dragon Society.
Meanwhile, Yimi, realizing he had been exposed, decisively chose to engage in direct combat.
"Haa!"
Yimi roared, his blood blades slashing towards Bai Ye.
The blood blades were about a meter and a half long when held by Yimi, but as he swung them, they continuously expanded, becoming immensely large as they descended towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye remained calm and casually tossed a Dao talisman.
The blood blade was clearly not something that could be resisted through physical elementalization, so…
True Essence Body Protection: Manipulates earth elemental energy with mental power to enhance defense and resilience, conjuring three earth shields to circle the body for protection.
The ground around Bai Ye trembled, and cracks appeared.
Three fragments of stone transformed into shields, rotating around Bai Ye's body, while a yellowish-brown aura enveloped him, forming a barrier.
Then…
Boom!
A deafening roar.
The colossal blood blade struck the barrier, emitting a thunderous sound.
The ground beneath Bai Ye's feet groaned under the immense pressure, shattering and collapsing downwards, forming a deep pit.
Simultaneously, while enduring the attack, Bai Ye did not remain idle. He interlaced his hands, forming sword seals.
Shocking Thunder and Purple Lightning, along with Blazing Phoenix and Flying Fire, moved once more, transforming into lightning and fire as they pierced towards Yimi.
Yimi's gaze sharpened. He returned the blood blades to their normal size and continuously swung them forward.
Boom, boom, boom!
The blood blades and the lightning-fire clashed repeatedly, each impact accompanied by a resounding explosion.
In the blink of an eye, after numerous collisions, the blood blades and the lightning-fire had met more than a dozen times. At this point…
Bai Ye's figure flickered, transforming into a streak of electricity as he surged forward.
