Bai Ye remained with his hands in his pockets, looking quite leisurely.
Yi Mi's strength indeed exceeded Bai Ye's imagination, but exceeding imagination did not mean Yi Mi was Bai Ye's match.
Bai Ye said, "Since you're not going to tell me what your mission is, I suppose I'll have to use a method that will solve it once and for all."
Killing him would naturally solve it once and for all.
Whether an enemy or an ally, once killed, it was all over.
Yi Mi said, "I'm confident I can stall for another half hour."
Bai Ye paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Finally willing to speak?"
Yi Mi ignored Bai Ye's taunt and continued, "In half an hour, everyone with you will be dead. What about your mission completion?"
Bai Ye's pupils contracted. This guy really knew something. At least, he seemed to have some understanding of Bai Ye's mission, otherwise, how would he know about "completion"?
And in the instant Bai Ye was momentarily distracted, Yi Mi let out a furious roar and swung his blood blade forward again.
As the blood blade swung forward, before it even touched Bai Ye, it exploded.
A large cloud of blood mist spread forward, obscuring Bai Ye's vision.
Bai Ye waved his hand, clearing the blood mist before him, intending to pursue Yi Mi. But at this moment...
"If you chase me, those people will all die."
"Trying to bluff me?" Bai Ye cursed. "Do you think I was raised on bluffs..."
Boom!
Before Bai Ye could finish speaking, a deafening roar suddenly came from a distance.
As Bai Ye turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, a pillar of smoke shot up into the sky, slowly spreading out to form a mushroom shape.
"You just wait!"
Bai Ye watched Yi Mi escape, cursing in frustration.
However...
Allen's side really couldn't afford to have any problems. Otherwise, even killing Yi Mi would be meaningless, and his hidden mission would be ruined. If his hidden mission was ruined, he wouldn't be able to get the wish mission afterward. If he couldn't get the wish mission, why did he come to this godforsaken place?
Bai Ye's thoughts raced. He finally had to admit he was cornered, and then his body rapidly transformed into a bolt of lightning and departed.
No matter what, the mission was the most important.
Yi Mi?
No rush!
As long as this guy was still in the mirror world and intended to cause trouble, Bai Ye didn't believe he could escape forever. Sooner or later, he would fall into his hands.
A moment later, after a flash of lightning, Bai Ye returned to the vicinity of the abandoned factory.
The factory had already been blown to ruins.
A hint of anxiety appeared in Bai Ye's eyes. Judging from the current situation, the magic array patterns were likely not Yi Mi's doing.
Firstly, in his previous life, Bai Ye had never heard of Yi Mi knowing magic.
Secondly, even if his memory had some discrepancies and Yi Mi might have learned magic in this life, he didn't use it when fighting Bai Ye.
How could someone capable of creating magic arrays of that magnitude not use them in combat?
And this was naturally not good news for Bai Ye. If Yi Mi had stalled Bai Ye while someone else did something to Allen and the others, Bai Ye's mission would truly be ruined.
Bai Ye pondered this as he observed his surroundings, searching for traces of others.
Just then...
Boom!
The sound of an explosion rang out again, sending a large amount of sand and dust flying.
Bai Ye immediately turned his head, his body once again transforming into flames, and headed towards the place where the booming sound originated.
A moment later, as Bai Ye emerged from the lightning, he saw Allen leading the charge against a monster engulfed in flames.
The monster had a humanoid outline, its entire body burning with flames, with dark magic patterns running across it. A circular magic array pattern was beneath its feet, moving with the humanoid silhouette.
"Isn't this a Fire Spirit!"
Bai Ye recognized the monster before him.
Summoning Magic - Fire Spirit Summon!
This was a growth-type magic. It started as black quality, but with proficiency, it could grow into gold quality summoning magic. The summoned Fire Spirit's strength naturally increased according to its quality.
The guy with Yi Mi also had some tricks up his sleeve!
This kind of summoning magic that could grow to gold quality wasn't easily obtained.
As Bai Ye thought this, he pressed his palms forward.
Shocking Thunder Purple Lightning and Blazing Phoenix Flying Fire transformed into lightning and fire, striking the Fire Spirit's back fiercely.
Boom!
The moment they collided, an explosion roared.
A massive fireball instantly burst forth.
The Fire Spirit's body was blown to pieces, and a terrifying shockwave spread outwards, scattering the flames.
However, after the flames flew out seven or eight meters, they strangely hovered in mid-air, then rapidly converged, reforming into the shape of the Fire Spirit!
The lightning and fire had some damaging effect on the Fire Spirit, but not much!
Mainly the Blazing Phoenix Flying Fire; trying to shatter flames with flames was clearly an unreliable endeavor.
However, having its body blown to pieces once clearly displeased the Fire Spirit. It abruptly turned its head towards Bai Ye and extended its palm.
Bang, bang, bang...
A cracking sound came from the Fire Spirit's palm, and then large fireballs flew out from its palm, shooting towards Bai Ye.
Allen, while firing his gun at the Fire Spirit, shouted towards Bai Ye, "Be careful!"
Bai Ye heard Allen's shout but showed no intention of dodging. He reached out and condensed the Steel Slime into the Thunder Fang Fury Beast, then slashed forward.
A black sword energy flashed, and the incoming fireballs were cut in half by Bai Ye's sword, exploding in mid-air.
The heat wave surged, and flames billowed.
Amidst the billowing black smoke, Bai Ye leaped out, and then slashed again with the Thunder Fang Fury Beast in his hand.
Thunder Fang (releases current from the sword body, capable of aerial slashes, can also entwine the sword body for reinforcement, and can be used with all lightning effects)
Sizzle!
A crisp crackling sound of electricity echoed!
As Bai Ye slashed, arcs of electricity continuously jumped on the Thunder Fang Fury Beast, which then transformed into a massive lightning blade, sweeping forward.
Boom, boom, boom...
As the lightning blade passed, the fireballs released by the Fire Spirit exploded one after another, and then...
With a "poof"!
The lightning blade struck the Fire Spirit's chest, cleaving its body in two!
However, it was only for an instant.
The split body, spewing sparks, attracted each other and slowly fused together again. Soon, the Fire Spirit's body was restored.
"Tsk!"
Bai Ye bared his teeth. He finally understood how annoying his Rumble-Rumble Fruit's elementalization was.
Many people facing him must have felt the same way he was feeling now facing the Fire Spirit.
Just then...
Because of Bai Ye's intervention, Allen finally had an opening. Following Allen's signal, Gonzalez quickly ran to a nearby pile of weapon crates and pulled out a large one.
Gonzalez's eyes lit up, and he shouted to Allen, "Found it!"
