This move left Bai Ye somewhat bewildered.
He could understand dodging his attacks or blocking them, but having his weapon suddenly pinned underfoot?
It was only because of Zabimaru's unique design, its snake-like elongation, that it was difficult to exert force in its stationary state, allowing the opponent to gain the upper hand.
Then, Bai Ye suddenly wondered if the Predator had seen through this, and that's why it acted this way.
If that were truly the case, Bai Ye could only say: "Show-off, why are you so showy?"
As Bai Ye was thinking, the Predator had already started running, rapidly approaching Bai Ye with incredible speed.
Bai Ye grinned. Even if it had immobilized Zabimaru's swing…
He wasn't limited to just one weapon!
Suddenly, a cold glint appeared, exceptionally bright in the night, heading straight for the Predator's face.
*Clang!*
The Predator quickly raised its wrist blade and, after colliding with the sword's aura, knocked the Ningshuang Sword aside. However, the Predator was forced to halt its advance.
But Bai Ye had no intention of stopping.
"Phoenix!" Bai Ye grunted, "Phoenix Flame!"
*Boom!*
As Bai Ye threw his punch, a massive fireball suddenly exploded, burning fiercely in front of him before surging forward, engulfing the Predator.
The Predator was more agile than Bai Ye had anticipated. It leaped to the side, then pushed off the ground with one palm, propelling itself sideways again. As it rotated in mid-air and landed, it pushed off with its toes once more, rapidly retreating backward.
This sequence of movements was fluid, allowing it to escape the flame's coverage almost instantly, leaving Bai Ye bewildered once more.
"Are you a gymnast or something?"
And in the moment Bai Ye was stunned, a mechanical whirring sound came from the Predator, and then a shoulder cannon, about the size of a water bottle, shot out from its right shoulder.
Upon seeing this device, Bai Ye immediately veered to the side and ran!
The Predator's shoulder cannon, more accurately called a plasma caster, was a symbol of the Predator's advanced technological civilization.
Of course, if one were to grade technological civilizations, the Predators would likely be at the lowest tier of advanced civilizations. Their plasma casters and cloaking devices were their best technological products, but they only reached the Black quality level.
However, even so, it was still a future technological weapon of a high-tier item. Being hit head-on by this thing was no laughing matter.
Thus, Bai Ye continued to run, while the Predator circled in place, using the infrared system of its bio-mask to constantly track Bai Ye, but never managing to lock onto him. xxs壹贰
And at this moment…
Jin Sha stealthily approached the Predator from behind.
This was because Jin Sha noticed that the opponent seemed to have overlooked her presence.
Since that was the case…
"Duo Duo Bing!" Jin Sha suddenly waved and shouted, "Mirror Shot!"
Duo Duo Bing's body suddenly emitted a metallic sheen, and then a white beam of light was fired forward.
The Predator reacted with extreme speed. Upon hearing the movement behind it, it immediately turned around.
*Boom!*
The Predator fired its shoulder cannon.
A plasma beam appeared and collided with Duo Duo Bing's Mirror Shot!
The result…
There was no suspense!
Although the Predator's shoulder cannon was only considered entry-level among future technological weapons, it was still a high-tier item. How could Duo Duo Bing's attack possibly compare?
Thus, after a loud explosion.
Duo Duo Bing's beam was instantly shattered, and the immense impact created a shockwave, with ripples continuously pushing outward in all directions.
Jin Sha cried out in alarm, and along with Duo Duo Bing, was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground. A stifling sensation in her chest caused Jin Sha to tilt her head and spit out a mouthful of blood, staining the snow red.
However, Bai Ye wanted to shout…
"Well done!"
The Predator's shoulder cannons had many variations, and this particular Predator's cannon was clearly not a rapid-fire type, but a charging type.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long to aim previously when it couldn't guarantee hitting Bai Ye.
And charging-type shoulder cannons had greater power, but their drawback was, of course…
They required charging before firing!
Bai Ye sprinted towards the Predator. As expected, the Predator turned around and swung its wrist blade, but did not use its shoulder cannon again.
This indicated that Bai Ye's guess was correct; the opponent wasn't unwilling to use it, but temporarily unable to!
*Clang!*
In an instant, Bai Ye arrived. His Zabimaru slashed forward, striking the Predator's wrist blade fiercely, and then…
*Puff!*
The moment the Predator raised its wrist blade to block the attack, the Ningshuang Sword transformed into a silver light, striking from behind and piercing the Predator's abdomen.
The intense pain caused the Predator's body to tremble, and it also ignited the Predator's ferocity!
With an enraged roar, the Predator's strength seemed to increase significantly. It blocked Zabimaru with one hand and grabbed Bai Ye's clothing with the other, lifting Bai Ye forcefully.
But…
Bai Ye's methods weren't limited to weapons, mere "external possessions"!
"Phoenix!"
In an instant, the moment the Predator grabbed him, flames erupted from Bai Ye's body, engulfing him and making him appear like a giant fireball.
The Predator involuntarily recoiled its hand, and in that brief moment…
Bai Ye flipped over, landing directly behind the Predator. Simultaneously, his Zabimaru extended again, coiling around the Predator's neck.
The next instant…
With a *puff*!
The Predator's body suddenly froze in place, and then its head slowly tilted, suddenly falling from its neck.
*Thump!*
As its head fell, the Predator's body also pitched forward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Predator…
Dead!
Bai Ye took a deep breath, sheathed his Zanpakuto, and then walked towards Jin Sha, asking, "How are you? Are you alright?"
Jin Sha appeared somewhat uncomfortable after taking the blow, but after catching her breath, she felt much better. She managed to support herself and waved her hand at Bai Ye, saying, "I'm fine."
Bai Ye nodded, reached out, and pulled Jin Sha up from the ground, saying, "We need to keep moving and leave this place as soon as possible, because we can't be sure if there are more Predators, or how many."
Jin Sha said, "But we don't have the snowmobile anymore."
Bai Ye shrugged, "Then we walk."
In such snowy weather, and at night, walking would indeed be difficult, but according to Bai Ye's memory, the monitoring station wasn't too far from the scientific research team's base.
