The man hissed at Bai Ye, his voice like a beast's roar. Immediately, beastly fur began to sprout all over his body, his hands transforming into bear claws, his legs into leopard legs. He opened his mouth, and two sharp teeth, like those of a saber-toothed tiger, suddenly grew out.
On the other side, the woman's body exuded a metallic sheen, turning as hard as steel, faintly reflecting silver light.
Bang, bang!
Both of them leaped towards Bai Ye simultaneously, pouncing at him from left and right.
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, waiting until they were right in front of him…
Six Powers, Soru!
Bai Ye's figure vanished again. Before they could react, he suddenly appeared behind them, placing his hands on their heads and forcefully pressing them down towards the ground.
With a rumble!
Their heads slammed into the ground, shattering a section of it.
Once pinned to the ground, the beast-transformed man immediately swung his arm backward, his sharp claws slashing towards Bai Ye. After Bai Ye dodged, he braced himself with his hands on the ground, slowly pushing Bai Ye's palms away, trying to break free. His entire body radiated an untamed wildness, his gaze deep, as if he had truly become a beast after his transformation.
Bai Ye chuckled, "I like your eyes, fierce and incompetent."
Bang!
Bai Ye exerted more force. The man, who had just started to get up, was forcefully slammed back to the ground by Bai Ye. The already broken ground was hit again, completely shattering and forming a small pit. The man's head was directly embedded in the earth.
However, the other woman seized this opportunity. She shifted her body, slithering out from under Bai Ye's grip like a snake. She then quickly grabbed Bai Ye's wrists with her hands and clamped her legs around Bai Ye's arms, executing a Kimura lock.
Meanwhile, the man, despite his face bleeding, was still stubbornly propping himself up with his palms, trying to get back on his feet.
Bai Ye sighed, "A dying struggle!"
The next moment…
Large swathes of flames surged from Bai Ye's palm pressing on the man's head, instantly engulfing it.
"Ah, ah…"
The burning caused the man to cry out in agony. He flailed his arms, trying to struggle, but couldn't break free.
Then…
"Flame Detonation!"
Boom!
A massive explosion occurred, and the flames detonated, sending large plumes of black smoke billowing outwards.
A moment later, as the smoke cleared, the man's head was only half there, charred black. His body toppled forward, crashing back onto the ground.
Having dealt with one, Bai Ye turned his attention to the woman.
Trying to lock him down with a Kimura?
Bai Ye curled his lips!
It seemed both their abilities enhanced their physical attributes. The woman's strength was clearly much greater than before, but…
Bai Ye simply stood up. As Bai Ye rose, the woman holding his arm was lifted into the air along with him.
Horror flashed across the woman's face.
Even with their abilities enhanced, their strength was still not on the same level!
The next moment, Bai Ye swung his arm down.
Boom!
The ground let out a deafening roar, shattering into pieces once more. However, to Bai Ye's surprise, the woman did not release his arm.
"I see." Bai Ye quickly discerned the trick. Looking at the metallic sheen emanating from the woman's body, he said, "The main purpose of steel hardening is to enhance resistance to damage, isn't it?"
The woman gritted her teeth, "You can't escape!"
Can't escape?
Bai Ye tilted his head. The word she used was "can't escape," not "kill me!"
Come to think of it, with the fight reaching this stage, even if the woman in front of him were an idiot, she should have realized the vast disparity in strength between them. There was no point in continuing the fight. The three of them had no chance of killing Bai Ye.
So, reinforcements?
"Or…" Bai Ye looked at the woman, "Did you get the mission from Batman?"
The woman remained silent, simply holding onto Bai Ye's arm tightly, trying to stall for time.
Bai Ye sneered. Not answering?
Then die!
Suddenly, the woman screamed and released Bai Ye, writhing on the ground in pain.
At that moment, her body was covered in purple venom, white smoke rising from her continuously. Her flesh and blood were being corroded at a visible rate.
The steel hardening ability might have slowed the corrosion, but it couldn't stop it.
Bai Ye looked down at the woman, "Since you're in so much pain, I'll send you on your way!"
Poison Dragon!
Bai Ye clenched his fist tightly, and large amounts of venom dripped from his body. Then, with a fierce punch, the Poison Dragon condensed, opening its monstrous maw and lunging at the woman.
In an instant, the woman's body was completely engulfed by the corrosive venom. Her body trembled as it rapidly dissolved.
"You have killed a combatant (Ability World)."
"You have obtained a fragment of a God Stone."
…
Bai Ye did not linger. After dealing with the woman, he strode out of the office building.
However, Bai Ye remained vigilant, observing his surroundings to ensure there were no ambushes or surveillance before leaving quickly.
Why did they want to stall him?
Were other companions on their way?
Or was it because they received a mission from Batman?
Bai Ye felt it no longer mattered. Since he had successfully left, it meant the opponent's objective had failed. They had neither managed to get support from their companions nor stall Batman's arrival.
Bai Ye's sin value had reached 590 points after eliminating the three of them.
Bai Ye was speechless about this. Delivering a bomb to someone gave him 50 points, yet killing three people only increased it by 25 points?
However, when fighting against people from the Order faction, it depended on their strength and Order value. The strength of these three was, in Bai Ye's opinion, not even a fraction of his own, so it was normal for them to not have much Order value. They were purely cannon fodder. Opponents like Adam, who could put Bai Ye in a difficult situation, were rare. Bai Ye wasn't that weak, after all.
Soon, after leaving the commercial district, Bai Ye found a coffee shop, ordered a cup of coffee and a piece of cake, and sat in a corner watching the wall-mounted television.
Bombs, shootouts…
The media, always chasing for ratings, wouldn't miss this. They would definitely send broadcast vans to the entrance of the office building immediately.
Therefore, Bai Ye was confident that the TV stations would soon break in with news. As expected, while Bai Ye was still thinking about it, the image on the TV suddenly switched. Immediately, an on-site reporter appeared on screen, with the office building entrance, still emitting black smoke, as the background. The reporter then began to describe the situation with a microphone.
