Yimi clashed with the constant lightning and thunder with his blood blade, but he was extremely agile.
Bai Ye approached from behind. Yimi immediately detected Bai Ye's movement and swung his blood blade, slashing down at the lightning Bai Ye had transformed into.
With a boom!
A fierce collision occurred once more.
The moment the blood blade fell, the ground shattered, and a slashing mark over ten meters long suddenly appeared.
At the same time, the electric arcs Bai Ye had transformed into exploded, scattering in all directions, then quickly re-aggregated, and he transformed back into Bai Ye's form.
Bai Ye looked at Yimi and said, "Two questions. First, do you represent the Rhine Company, or the androids? Second, what was your reason for shooting Li Chengjie?"
Bai Ye was a bit curious about Yimi's mission.
As far as he could tell, Bai Ye definitely represented the androids of the slums. If Yimi attacked him, it was likely he had received a hidden mission from the Rhine Company.
However, there was a contradiction here.
Although Li Chengjie was in their team, Li Chengjie was a traitor, a member of the Rhine Company, yet Yimi had shot Li Chengjie.
Therefore, Yimi did not represent the Rhine Company?
Then he could only represent the androids.
In that case, there was a possibility of cooperation between Bai Ye and Yimi!
This was why Bai Ye asked the questions, wanting to clarify these doubts.
However, Yimi clearly had no intention of answering and instead swung his blood blade towards Bai Ye.
Such a reaction...
Well, Bai Ye wasn't entirely surprised.
If someone suddenly asked about his mission while fighting, Bai Ye wouldn't tell them either.
The Steel Slime quickly wriggled again, rapidly transforming into the Shadow War Axe, and clashed with the opponent's blood blade.
With a clang!
The weapons met, emitting a crisp ringing sound.
The two began to exert their strength against each other, both wanting to overpower the other, but in terms of power, they were surprisingly evenly matched.
Bai Ye was a little surprised. Yimi's physical attributes were quite good, not much inferior to his own.
Frankly speaking, Bai Ye didn't think much of Yimi.
After all, although this guy was a top-tier expert in his previous life, he was only a top-tier expert.
If the experts who participated in the Central Region War were divided into tiers, Yimi belonged to the first tier, but Bai Ye clearly belonged to the few at the very top of the pyramid, surpassing the first tier.
Therefore, based on his impressions from his previous life, Bai Ye really didn't need to pay much attention to Yimi.
But the strength Yimi was displaying now exceeded Bai Ye's estimations.
"Blood Freeze Path!" Yimi suddenly shouted, "Absolute Zero Blood Spear!"
The blood flying in the air suddenly made "crackling" sounds, rapidly freezing into a blood-colored ice spear that aimed straight for Bai Ye's face.
Bai Ye's reaction was also incredibly fast. Seeing the blood spear freeze into existence, he violently twisted his waist backward, assuming an iron bridge pose.
In the next instant, a cold glint flashed, and the frozen blood spear passed by Bai Ye's nose, narrowly dodged by Bai Ye.
After dodging the spear, Bai Ye directly kicked Yimi's wrist with the tip of his foot, forcing Yimi back, then flipped up and crossed his hands.
Thunder Beast (Releases a beast-like lightning with physical attack effects, targeting ground attacks and defense)
Sizzle!
Large amounts of current emerged from Bai Ye's body, bright white electric light flickering continuously, then condensing into a ferocious thunder beast that pounced towards Yimi.
Yimi was not flustered. While retreating, he swung his blood blade forward repeatedly, engaging in a fierce battle with the thunder beast.
But the thunder beast was more ferocious than Yimi had imagined. Not only did it attack continuously, but most importantly, the thunder beast was immune to the blood blade's slashes.
Its body was constantly shattered by the blood blade, and then it healed.
There was still damage. With continuous slashing, the thunder beast's body would eventually dissipate into electric arcs.
The thunder beast's characteristic was the same as Bai Ye's elemental transformation using the Goro Goro no Mi (Rumble-Rumble Fruit); it was immune to physical attacks. However, Yimi's Blood Flowing Method could not be considered a physical attack.
Therefore, as long as the attack continued, the thunder beast could not hold on.
However, Bai Ye knew this, but Yimi didn't. He only knew that the thunder beast seemed completely unaffected by his attacks.
"Blood Freeze Technique, Ice Peak!"
While thinking of a countermeasure, Yimi suddenly swung his blood blade forward.
A large amount of blood surged forward and then froze, looking like a small blood-colored mountain.
But that small mountain could not stop the thunder beast's advance.
Rumble!
The thunder beast crashed straight forward, and then, large arcs of electricity began to spread.
As the electric arcs spread, the blood-colored small mountain continuously made "crackling" sounds, and large cracks appeared.
Then...
The thunder beast shattered the blood-colored small mountain and continued to charge towards Yimi.
Within the shattered blood-colored ice blocks, the thunder beast was ferocious and terrifying, its fangs bared and claws extended.
Bang!
Yimi was hit squarely by the thunder beast, sent flying high into the air, tumbling seven or eight meters backward before crashing heavily onto the ground.
Bai Ye walked towards Yimi with his hands in his pockets and said, "I advise you to answer honestly. It's better for everyone this way!"
Yimi ignored Bai Ye's words, gritted his teeth, and got up from the ground. He felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yimi didn't waste the blood. He raised his blood blade and swept it forward, turning the blood into sharp, blood-colored spikes that flew towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye shrugged and raised his right hand!
Snap!
Bai Ye snapped his fingers crisply.
In the next instant, a large golden light screen appeared behind Bai Ye.
Within the golden light screen, there were numerous golden vortexes, and within each golden vortex, there were various weapons.
Gate of Babylon!
Do your blood spikes have as many weapons as mine?
Bai Ye sneered, waved his hand forward, and then, dense weapons shot out towards the front.
Boom, boom, boom...
The incoming blood spikes were instantly engulfed by golden radiance, and then dense weapons continuously bombarded the area around Yimi.
The sound of the ground shattering echoed continuously, wave after wave. Large clouds of dust rose into the sky, and rocks flew through the air!
When the smoke and dust cleared, the ground was densely covered with circles of large craters, with a weapon stuck in each crater. The entire ground had collapsed by more than half a meter.
Yimi was in the center of the collapsed ground. He had managed to block the attack, but he looked quite miserable. His clothes were torn, and blood was constantly flowing from his arms and waist.
A blood blade was plunged into the ground, propping up Yimi's body, preventing him from falling.
