Bai Ye showed a surprised expression and said, "You've been hiding your tracks? How come I didn't know?"
The corner of the mouth beneath the cloak couldn't help but twitch, clearly angered by the words, but still able to suppress emotions with reason.
On the other side, Bai Ye playfully hooked his lips.
He was, of course, deliberately provoking the other party.
The other party's stealth skills were not bad; not only were they not bad, they were quite formidable. Unfortunately, no matter how good a person's stealth skills were, they couldn't compare to a ghost.
Gengar was not in the Beast Taming Ball, so it was the first to discover the other party and secretly alerted Bai Ye.
"Alright, I've answered your question. Now it's your turn to answer mine," Bai Ye said. "Divine Disciple?"
The other party had no intention of answering and immediately raised a hand.
Hidden beneath the cloak was a narrow sword. The moment the other party lifted the cloak, a silver light shot towards Bai Ye.
Boom!
The silver light hit the ground, and a section of the ruins collapsed, extinguishing the bonfire.
But the next moment, Bai Ye appeared behind the other party.
"It seems you are indeed a Divine Disciple."
The person didn't waste words and immediately turned around, sweeping another sword towards him.
The reaction was fast, the sword speed was fast, and the moment of attack was also fast.
And...
Missing again, the other party's body suddenly became ethereal, quickly turning transparent, and disappearing without a trace.
The attack focused on "speed," and they also knew how to become invisible.
This was a typical assassin type, and with a hoarse voice, it was a woman...
"Adelise Delun?"
Adelise was also an acquaintance from Bai Ye's previous life, a woman from a world of religious civilization.
In her own world, the woman was a first-class assassin secretly trained by an organization called the Hermetic Society. After entering the World Battlefield, Adelise made full use of her talents.
In fact, in the mid-to-late stages of the World Battlefield, Adelise was considered the top assassin in the World Battlefield.
At the same time, Adelise had also attempted to assassinate Bai Ye three times, twice commissioned by Bai Lu, the other Bai from the Eastern District, and once by the Hidden Dragon Society. However, Adelise had not succeeded.
To be honest, in Bai Ye's opinion, the woman's "number one" title was somewhat questionable, because there were very few people in the World Battlefield who pursued a pure assassination path, and even fewer who could become masters.
He could only name about five or six people.
So, being the strongest among those five or six people made her number one?
It was practically a joke.
As Bai Ye thought, he suddenly stomped forward.
With a bang, the ground was shattered by Bai Ye's stomp, and at the same time, "crackling" sounds echoed all around. Countless electric currents shot out in all directions, and then...
"Found you!"
Bai Ye grinned and swung his arm back fiercely.
Bai Ye found the invisibility ability to be quite good for sneak attacks and assassinations, but if sneak attacks and assassinations failed, it was a useless ability for frontal combat.
Invisibility only made the other party unable to see oneself, not truly disappear. Therefore, as long as the attack covered a certain area, it was easy to find the other party, and it was not difficult at all.
The next moment, countless electric currents attacked, and then about five to six meters behind Bai Ye, the other party reappeared.
As the electric currents passed, the other party's cloak was cut with several openings, and the hood also fell off.
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow. It was indeed Adelise.
This woman was also a Divine Disciple?
Did she die unexpectedly in this life and was chosen by a god?
Or, was Adelise from the previous life a Divine Disciple, but Bai Ye didn't know about the existence of Divine Disciples back then, nor did he know that Adelise was one?
On the other side, after Adelise revealed herself, she raised her hand and threw three throwing knives forward.
Bai Ye had no intention of dodging and let the throwing knives fly towards him.
Then...
About half a meter in front of him, a large area of electric current appeared. Affected by the electromagnetic force, the three throwing knives fell directly to the ground.
Bai Ye looked at Adelise and said, "You're so weak."
As Bai Ye spoke, his figure flashed, instantly appearing in front of Adelise.
Adelise's reaction was indeed terrifyingly fast. She was able to keep up the moment Bai Ye materialized. She directly swept a sword towards Bai Ye.
But...
It was useless!
Bai Ye's body was surrounded by electric currents. Pulled by those currents, Adelise's narrow sword couldn't touch Bai Ye at all. Instead, it hovered half a meter in front of Bai Ye, vibrating constantly.
Bai Ye smiled and said, "If you really want to kill me, it's more reliable to have Situ Chicheng make a move."
Bai Ye could also roughly guess the other party's thoughts.
Situ Chicheng had already failed twice, and each time a Divine Disciple had died. Therefore, the other party decided to change their approach and have Adelise make a move.
After all, Adelise's specialty was assassination.
Assassination was a combat method that easily created miracles and could achieve victory against stronger opponents.
Bai Ye was very strong? Yes!
But what if Bai Ye was heavily injured, or even killed, before he could unleash his combat power?
This was the value of assassination.
Unfortunately, Adelise had failed even before attempting an assassination; Bai Ye had directly discovered Adelise approaching him.
And an assassin who specialized in assassination, forced into frontal combat...
This itself represented failure.
There was a very obvious gap in their frontal combat capabilities.
Bai Ye knew this...
And Adelise knew it too!
Therefore, after a series of failed attacks, Adelise appeared very decisive.
"Divine Speed!"
Adelise's speed suddenly increased, and she ran rapidly to the side, leaving behind afterimages.
She intended to escape.
Retreating immediately after a failed attack was the core concept of an assassin's combat.
Adelise had lingered with Bai Ye for a while, clearly wanting to try and see if she had a chance of winning in a frontal confrontation. The result proved...
There was no chance at all!
Since that was the case, Adelise naturally had to run.
However...
Zzzt!
Bai Ye's body turned into an electric current and flashed past, catching up to Adelise in an instant and appearing beside her.
"You came all this way to find me, and now you want to leave so soon?"
Bai Ye chuckled and suddenly swept a leg towards Adelise.
Adelise quickly leaped back to dodge, but Bai Ye's kick was just a feint.
The moment he swept his leg, flames ignited on Bai Ye's leg.
The Phoenix ability was activated, and then...
"Flame Burst!"
Following Bai Ye's soft shout, the emerging flames instantly exploded.
...
