The Predator clearly didn't hear Bai Ye's wails.
With a bang!
The Predator leaped onto the Xenomorph's back, plunging its dagger deep into the alien's back.
The Xenomorph let out a scream of pain and thrashed about. Bai Ye was once again slammed by the impact. The Xenomorph weighed nearly a ton, and the Predator, with its physique, must have been several hundred pounds. Add to that the downward force of the jump…
Bai Ye felt as if he was about to be crushed into spitting out his gall.
Who did I offend?
I'm just passing by!
Bai Ye thought as he quickly grabbed a concussion grenade.
"Damn it!" Bai Ye cursed, "If you won't let me have an easy time, then no one gets an easy time!"
Bai Ye spread his palm, and the concussion grenade rolled to the side before exploding.
Almost instantly, a blinding flash of light erupted, accompanied by a sharp, piercing noise.
Bai Ye was sacrificing his own well-being to harm the enemy; at such close range, the concussion grenade's detonation also affected him. The bright light instantly stung his eyes, first turning everything white, then quickly to black, rendering him temporarily blind.
At the same time…
Bai Ye felt a buzzing in his head. The noise from the concussion grenade caused him to experience tinnitus, making him feel like he was about to retch.
However, the good news was that the heavy pressure on him had disappeared. The Predator and the Xenomorph must have moved off.
Bai Ye scrambled to his feet, only to bang his head against the wall. He clutched his head and stumbled backward, crashing into a Xenomorph that was also disoriented in the corridor due to the concussion grenade, and then…
Bang!
Bai Ye was impaled in the backside by the Xenomorph and fell to the ground again. As he fell, he felt a sharp pain in his head, as if he'd hit something, and then…
The Predator, clutching its groin, knelt silently on the ground.
In that moment, the Predator felt anything but predatory.
The chaotic three-way battle continued for about two to three minutes. After all, Bai Ye, the Xenomorph, and the Predator were all powerfully built creatures. The effects of the concussion grenade were only truly pronounced in the initial moments.
As his vision slowly returned, Bai Ye could finally see. A large Xenomorph head appeared directly in front of him.
Bai Ye instinctively threw a punch, hitting the Xenomorph's head and sending it flying to the side, crashing against the wall with a clang.
But as soon as Bai Ye finished dealing with the Xenomorph, he was kicked in the back by the Predator.
You bastard, you almost cost me my little Predator.
Bai Ye lunged forward like a hungry tiger, falling to the ground. The Xenomorph attacked again, its body swaying as its tail whipped out forcefully, striking the Predator's waist and sending it flying three to four meters away.
The three of them perfectly illustrated what it meant to be locked in a love-hate triangular relationship.
However, the Xenomorph's allegiance shifted too quickly. After flinging the Predator away, it turned and lunged at Bai Ye, its gaping maw opening, its needle-like tongue darting out, aiming for Bai Ye.
Bai Ye drew his Zanpakuto and swung it hard, severing the Xenomorph's tongue.
But in that instant…
Buzz!
A piercing sound suddenly rang out. The Predator had gotten up from the ground and fired its shoulder cannon.
With a roar, a beam of light shot out, striking the Xenomorph's back before exploding.
Terrifying energy rapidly filled the corridor. Amidst the explosions, both the Xenomorph and Bai Ye were sent flying, tumbling from the corridor into a room.
Bai Ye grimaced, propping himself up with his hands on the ground.
What the hell is going on!
Why is it always me who suffers when you two fight?
At the same time…
Following the shoulder cannon shot, the Predator charged into the room and, without hesitation, madly lunged at the Xenomorph.
The Xenomorph's attacks were indiscriminate; any other living creature would become a target.
However, the Predator had its own attack priorities. Clearly, in the Predator's eyes, the Xenomorph was a target that needed to be eliminated first.
Bang!
With a flying pounce, the Predator landed directly on the Xenomorph's back. It then used its wrist blade to stab forcefully into the back of the Xenomorph's skull.
With a squelch, the wrist blade easily pierced the Xenomorph's body, and a large amount of viscous, corrosive fluid splashed everywhere.
The Xenomorph thrashed wildly, darting around the room. The Predator held on tightly, refusing to let go. It pried open the Xenomorph's skull and then, with renewed effort, plunged its arm in almost to the shoulder.
Bai Ye's eyes lit up. Xenomorphs were difficult to kill, but the Predator seemed to know a way to kill them easily.
The Xenomorph's massive head appeared to be completely covered by a carapace, but the area the Predator was attacking was precisely the part that lacked this shell, suggesting it was the Xenomorph's weak point.
But…
Squelch!
Just as the Predator was about to succeed, the Xenomorph's tail suddenly whipped up, aiming for the Predator's back.
Almost instantly, the Predator's body was impaled as the Xenomorph's tail pierced through its flesh. With a powerful flick, the Xenomorph sent the Predator flying.
With a bang, the Predator slammed heavily against the side wall.
Roar, roar, roar…
Despite being flung away, the intense pain seemed to enrage the Xenomorph further. It charged furiously forward, intending to attack the Predator again.
But at this moment…
A black grenade rolled across the floor, quickly reaching the Xenomorph.
The Xenomorph's attention was drawn by the sound of the rolling grenade. It lowered its head to look at the ground, and then…
Boom!
A deafening explosion occurred, erupting in flames. Layers of concussive waves rippled outwards, sending the Xenomorph flying with a single blow.
Bai Ye had made his move!
"Condensation Frost, command sword!"
Bai Ye quickly formed a sword seal, and then the Condensation Frost sword, which was suspended in the air, shot forward, transforming into a beam of sword light that hurtled towards the Xenomorph.
The Xenomorph roared again, its bloody maw splitting open. Its tail whipped forward, attempting to swat down the sword light.
However, the Condensation Frost sword was incredibly agile. Faced with the Xenomorph's tail, it curved halfway in the air, bypassing the tail and heading directly for the back of the Xenomorph's head.
With a thud, the silver sword light pierced the Xenomorph's brain!
For a moment, time seemed to stand still. The Xenomorph's body froze. After about half a minute, its massive form slowly toppled sideways, crashing to the ground with a bang.
