Crack, crack!
As the talismans burned, the ground around them cracked and broke.
Bai Ye’s body shimmered, surrounded by earth shields that deflected the incoming bullets.
However, Bai Lu, having survived to the end as a master in her previous life, known as the Queen of Munitions, wouldn't only know how to use guns.
Or rather…
The guns Bai Lu used certainly couldn't be ordinary ones.
It was impossible to survive the war in the central region with firearms alone!
Seeing her bullets deflected, Bai Lu waved her hand.
The next instant, Bai Lu curled her lips.
“Attack Enhancement!”
“Attack Speed Enhancement!”
“Armor Piercing Enhancement!”
“Ranged Damage Enhancement!”
“Damage Enhancement on Hit!”
…
Beneath Bai Lu’s feet, layer after layer of magic circle patterns appeared, with circles of various colors overlapping continuously!
Magic, this was another reason for Bai Lu's power.
Firearms were cost-effective, especially before the World Battlefield progressed past the early to mid-stage. Firearms were undeniably the most useful weapons.
However, from the mid-stage onwards, the effectiveness of firearms gradually decreased. By the mid to late stages, firearms became almost useless. As for the late stages, they were practically irrelevant.
Even firearms from the future technology lineage were mediocre.
Most of the time, firearms were used as accessories to other things.
For example, mecha suits, mechs, mechanical modifications, and so on.
Ordinary firearms used alone would become increasingly useless.
Bai Lu was somewhat of an exception; even in the late stages, her primary weapon remained firearms.
She did possess mecha suits and mechs.
But, unlike most people, others could continue using firearms because the guns equipped with their mecha suits were powerful enough.
Bai Lu, on the other hand, wore mecha suits purely to enhance her physical attributes or to utilize certain effects of the mecha suit for improvement.
Improve what?
Naturally, firearms!
Secondly, Bai Lu's reputation as the Queen of Munitions stemmed from her renowned use of various firearm-based weapons, but that didn't mean she was limited to just that.
In Bai Ye's memory, before the advent of technological weapons, Bai Lu was also adept at using amplification magic.
Even during the transition from the early to mid-stage of the World Battlefield to the mid to late stages, when firearms began to weaken, and only later, with the gradual emergence of mecha suits and mechs, did firearms return to the stage as supplementary weapons.
During this interim period, Bai Lu survived by relying on amplification magic to boost her firearms.
The current Bai Lu was certainly not as powerful as the Bai Lu in Bai Ye's memories, but her specialties were beginning to overlap with what Bai Ye remembered.
Seeing the dense magic circle patterns, Bai Ye felt a throbbing pain in his head.
Then…
“Demon Breaking Bullet!”
Bai Lu let out a low cry and pulled the trigger.
Two white beams, as thick as fingers, shot from the barrel, intertwining and rotating in the air before merging into one, and then…
With a bang!
The two beams struck the stone wall protected by Zhen Yuan, emitting a deafening roar.
With just one shot!
Bai Ye’s Zhen Yuan protection was shattered, and the three earth shields surrounding him were instantly destroyed.
Bai Lu’s shooting did not stop. After shattering the earth shields, she continued to pull the trigger repeatedly.
White beams shot continuously towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye's expression remained unchanged as he moved his body, dodging Bai Lu’s shots.
And it was at this moment…
“Blood Freezing Art!” Yi Mi roared, “Blood Mountain!”
Yi Mi charged forward, a great crimson sword appearing in his hand. With a powerful sweep forward, a large cloud of blood mist appeared, and as it drifted forward, a blood-red ice mountain erupted from the ground.
With a boom!
The house Bai Lu stood on was shattered by the blood-red ice mountain, and large chunks of crimson ice shards rained down.
However, Bai Lu's figure was nowhere to be seen, suggesting she hadn't sustained a fatal injury.
On the other side, Situ Chi Cheng attacked again, sword light scattering towards Yi Mi. Then…
Clang!
Bai Ye emerged from the lightning, sweeping his Thunder Fang Savage Beast, shattering the incoming sword light.
Situ Chi Cheng’s gaze was cold as he formed a talisman in his hand.
Bai Ye chuckled, looking at Situ Chi Cheng and saying, "After last time, you still dare to use talismans in front of me?"
As Bai Ye spoke, his Paper God ability suddenly activated.
The talisman, held taut, flew up uncontrollably. Fortunately, Situ Chi Cheng reacted quickly, ducking sharply to the side.
Even so, the talisman grazed Situ Chi Cheng's neck, leaving a wound.
Situ Chi Cheng touched his neck, looking at the blood on his fingertips, appearing surprised.
"Hmm?"
Bai Ye showed a look of confusion.
Situ Chi Cheng seemed surprised by his Paper God ability, but he had been defeated by this move once before, so surely he wouldn't forget about it?
Yi Mi looked at Bai Ye and asked, "Do you know them?"
Bai Ye replied, "We've fought before."
Yi Mi nodded and then said, "They don't remember you. They are Divine Disciples now."
Bai Ye frowned, "What?"
Bai Ye didn't get Yi Mi's answer, because Situ Chi Cheng's sword arrived first.
"Myriad Sword Technique!"
After being injured, Situ Chi Cheng's demeanor became more ferocious, showing signs of anger.
Naturally, his attacks became more brutal.
The flying swords in his hand shot into the sky, spreading out in all directions, transforming into countless flying swords that rained down from above.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Bai Ye snorted, punching towards the sky. "Thunderbird!"
Thunderbird (Releases a beast-like lightning that has physical attack effects, targeting aerial attacks and defense)
Zzzt!
The moment Bai Ye punched, lightning crackled around his arm, flashing with arcs of electricity.
These arcs, along with Bai Ye's fist, shot upwards, forming a large bird made of lightning, soaring into the sky!
The next instant, the descending flying swords were enveloped by the exploding arcs, losing control in the air, shattering continuously, and dissipating into broken sword light.
During the Twelve Great Battles, facing Situ Chi Cheng…
Alright, even though Bai Ye was unwilling, he had to admit that he was no match for Situ Chi Cheng back then. The victory in the Twelve Great Battles owed a great deal to luck.
Situ Chi Cheng's foundation was too strong, a top-tier cultivator from the immortal cultivation world.
But as time passed, this advantage was not insurmountable.
Now, as Bai Ye faced Situ Chi Cheng once more…
He was completely unfazed!
Let's get him!
