The blood-red bats dispersed and then converged again, rapidly reforming on the side.
But Bai Ye saw through it!
Hamir's move was remarkably similar to the elementalization of the Goro Goro no Mi.
Elementalization, on one hand, rendered the user immune to physical attacks. On the other hand, with proper control, it could also be used to evade non-physical assaults.
For instance, if someone hurled a fireball at Bai Ye, Bai Ye could elementalize his body into arcs of electricity. Once the fireball passed through him, he could reform, thus evading the attack.
Hamir's blood bats likely couldn't achieve immunity to physical attacks, but the underlying principle was the same.
So...
Since Bai Ye himself possessed a similar technique, he naturally knew its weakness.
That weakness was the moment of dispersion and aggregation, where one could easily pinpoint the location!
*Zzzt!*
Bai Ye instantly appeared before the coalescing blood bats. As Hamir reappeared, Bai Ye abruptly raised his hand, grabbed Hamir by the neck, and slammed him against the wall.
"A vampire, are you?" Bai Ye said. "If you don't want me to truly turn you into a bat, get lost while you still can!"
The moment Bai Ye spoke, he exerted force with his arm.
*Boom!*
The wall behind them shattered, and Bai Ye smashed Hamir directly into the room.
"Ah!"
Inside the hotel room, a scantily clad man and woman embraced, the woman screaming in fear.
Hamir roared in annoyance, "Shut up!"
As he spoke, Hamir slashed his hand to the side.
A large amount of blood mist emerged, coiling around Hamir's arm to form a blood blade. The next moment, the bodies of the man and woman were sliced open, their insides and a copious amount of blood splattering out.
After this strike, Hamir, his expression grim, stood up again and glared fiercely at Bai Ye.
Hamir had now confirmed two things.
The first: Bai Ye was not to be trifled with!
The second: Bai Ye had provoked him!
Taking a deep breath, Hamir's eyes gradually turned blood-red. Blood mist began to swirl around both his arms, and from this mist, two massive scythes forged from blood materialized.
"Ah!"
Hamir roared and lunged at Bai Ye.
The blood-red scythes swept forward, cleaving the entire room in two.
Bai Ye swiftly leaped backward.
Those blood-red scythes were clearly no ordinary weapons. The blood condensation could not be a purely physical attack, rendering the elementalization of the Goro Goro no Mi ineffective.
Without pausing after his strike, Hamir stomped his legs and continued his charge toward Bai Ye.
Bai Ye attempted to summon the Kongtong Seal, then remembered it was past midnight and the seal had vanished. He then changed his approach, reaching out and making a grasping motion forward.
"Gate of Babylon!"
Behind Bai Ye, a golden light screen rapidly materialized.
Following this, as weapon after weapon emerged from the golden light screen, a vast expanse of golden ripples appeared behind Bai Ye, densely packed and truly terrifying to behold.
Naturally, Bai Ye's current Gate of Babylon couldn't compare to the perverted might of Gilgamesh, who possessed all the treasures under heaven. However, Gilgamesh didn't unleash all the weapons from his treasury at once.
Instead, he launched continuous volleys of attacks.
Bai Ye didn't know how many consecutive rounds of attacks Gilgamesh could sustain, but at least Bai Ye could currently unleash one round of attacks with the same power as Gilgamesh.
At that instant, Hamir's expression shifted slightly.
The oppressive aura emanating from the densely packed weapons caused Hamir's spirit to stir.
The blood-red scythes rapidly decomposed, transforming into a massive blood-red cloak that enveloped Hamir, forming a defense.
Then...
*Rumble, rumble, rumble!*
The weapons from the Gate of Babylon furiously shot forward, continuously striking Hamir and emitting deafening roars.
The room instantly became a chaotic mess, walls and pillars collapsing under the onslaught, furnishings shattering in an instant.
Hamir was relentlessly pushed backward. While the blood-red cloak could initially withstand Bai Ye's attacks, it gradually began to tear.
*Puff!*
A golden sword grazed Hamir's shoulder, opening a wound. Immediately after, the Shadow Axe cleaved into Hamir's leg.
The pain contorted Hamir's expression, but at that moment, the Nanming Lihuo Sword pierced Hamir's waist, pinning his body.
Hamir roared and suddenly charged to the side, smashing through the room's floor-to-ceiling window and leaping out.
Just as he was about to plummet, massive bat wings unfurled from his back, propelling him upward.
Bai Ye didn't hesitate. His figure transformed into lightning, flashing forward. He pursued Hamir out of the room, also unfurling massive crystalline wings behind him.
Feathered Breath Phoenix!
Bai Ye took a deep breath and ascended, chasing Hamir to the hotel's rooftop, landing on the helipad.
The two faced each other. Bai Ye glanced at Hamir and couldn't help but click his tongue.
Despite Hamir's previous disheveled state, being driven back by the Gate of Babylon, upon landing...
All of Hamir's injuries had completely healed. Not only had the bleeding stopped, but there wasn't even a scar.
This was within a span of three minutes, at most.
This super-regenerative healing ability was indeed terrifying.
However, it was precisely because Bai Ye knew Hamir possessed such an ability that he dared to attack him, having no fear of accidentally killing him.
Otherwise, Bai Ye couldn't kill Hamir, as that would mean elimination. Secondly, it wouldn't be appropriate to leave Hamir severely injured, as Bai Ye needed him to stall Li Jiayi.
On the other hand, Hamir, looking at his recovered body, appeared even more enraged and somewhat anxious.
Bai Ye seemed stronger than he had anticipated.
This was a troublesome opponent.
However, Hamir licked his lips, not believing he would lose.
In terms of offense and defense, Hamir might not match Bai Ye, but as long as Bai Ye couldn't kill him, he could outlast Bai Ye.
The innate abilities of a vampire were Hamir's greatest advantage.
"Ah!"
While contemplating, Hamir spread his hands, once again transforming into two massive blood-red scythes, and slashed toward Bai Ye.
Bai Ye dodged to the side, and the blood-red scythes struck the helipad.
*Boom!*
The helipad was directly cleaved open, with more than half of it falling below, crashing onto the street.
A hapless individual's car was instantly crushed, and the driver inside was instantly reduced to a bloody mess.
Bai Ye and Hamir leaped simultaneously, their wings unfurling as they resumed their aerial assault.
