This display of skill left the Predator’s scalp tingling.
After failing the flying kick, and before even landing, it had dodged the attack in mid-air and then grappled him?
Was this scientific?
Newton’s coffin lid was about to be unable to stay put!
Bai Ye’s only thought was: Shaolin Kung Fu is good, it’s really good, Shaolin Kung Fu is great, it’s really great, I’m the iron head, you’re the vajra leg…
And then…
*Bang!*
Bai Ye landed, and with a swift pull, he actually flung the Predator into the air, smashing it towards the side wall. A loud crash followed, and a section of the wall caved in. The Predator was sent directly into the adjacent room.
Bai Ye immediately took out a grenade, pulled the pin, and tossed it through the broken wall.
*Boom!*
The roar of the explosion sounded instantly.
Large plumes of flames surged from behind the broken wall, followed by the shockwave of the explosion, causing the entire wall to collapse.
Bai Ye waved away the black smoke in front of him and said, "Can't blow you to death, you bastard…"
*Crash!*
Before Bai Ye could finish speaking, the side wall suddenly shattered. The Predator’s two arms shot out, wrapped around Bai Ye’s neck, and tightened swiftly.
The sensation of suffocation struck instantly. The Predator smashed through the wall, its arms around Bai Ye’s neck, slamming Bai Ye’s head against the opposite wall and pinning him down.
Bai Ye gritted his teeth, his face turning red. Then, inch by inch, he raised his arm, grabbed the Predator’s arm, and slowly pried it open.
Beneath the Predator’s mask, its eyes glowed red.
Clearly, their strength should have been similar, with the Predator even having a slight advantage. Why, as soon as Bai Ye grabbed it, did it suddenly become powerless?
The reason was simple: one of the effects of Dragon Claw was…
Internal Force Surge: Upon successfully grabbing a target, strength increases by 20 points!
A 20-point strength increase was enough for Bai Ye to counter the Predator.
Seeing his arm being moved away inch by inch, the Predator gritted its teeth and raised its wrist blade, slashing down towards Bai Ye’s head.
But at the critical moment, Bai Ye finally broke free and dodged to the side.
With a screech, the metal wall was cut open by the wrist blade, leaving three alarming gashes.
Bai Ye quickly turned around, grabbed the Predator’s wrist blade, and then, a sound of twisting metal suddenly rang out.
The Predator immediately raised its left fist and smashed it into Bai Ye’s chest. After the hit, both of them retreated.
After creating distance, Bai Ye looked at what he was holding. The Predator’s wrist blade had been forcefully torn off by him.
Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, then delighted. His luck was truly good, as another effect of Dragon Claw had been triggered.
Tear: 15% chance to tear apart armor below blue quality.
A 15% chance wasn't easily triggered, and what surprised Bai Ye even more was that the wrist blade was considered armor?
However, Bai Ye soon understood. The Predator's equipment should be a set. Apart from the mask and chest armor being part of the computer system, and the cloaking suit being worn independently, the rest should be considered a complete set of armor. Therefore, even though the wrist blade was a weapon, if it was part of the armor, it naturally counted as part of the armor.
The Predator glanced at its torn-off wrist blade and was slightly surprised, but only slightly. It had more weapons than Bai Ye imagined.
Reaching behind its waist, a metal rod appeared in the Predator’s hand. Then, the Predator twisted a switch, and spikes extended from both sides of the metal rod, turning it into a spear.
The Predator lifted the spear and advanced towards Bai Ye again.
Bai Ye licked his lips, adopted a horse stance, and resumed his fighting posture.
The next moment, the Predator arrived in front of Bai Ye, flicked its wrist, and thrust the spear at Bai Ye, but Bai Ye dodged it nimbly.
The Predator immediately changed from a thrust to a press, smashing the spear down towards Bai Ye. But as the spear fell, Bai Ye suddenly struck, his claw clamping onto the Predator’s wrist from below.
With a *swish*!
Bai Ye exerted force, leaving five claw marks on the Predator’s wrist.
The Predator was strong in close combat. These creatures, in addition to relying on technological weapons, were also skilled in close-quarters combat, clearly having undergone training.
However, with Shaolin’s Dragon Claw technique at his disposal…
Bai Ye was not afraid!
With one claw successful, Bai Ye quickly pressed his attack.
An inch longer, an inch stronger, but an inch shorter, an inch fiercer!
The corridor was not narrow, but it was only about three and a half meters wide. It was somewhat difficult to wield a spear effectively, clearly not as advantageous as fists and feet.
Therefore, Bai Ye hesitated not at all, quickly closing in on the Predator.
As long as the distance was close enough, the spear’s length would make it difficult to counter!
But just as Bai Ye lunged forward, intending to engage in close-quarters combat…
The Predator suddenly switched to gripping the spear with both hands and pulling it apart forcefully, turning the spear into two short spears.
Bai Ye couldn’t help but be stunned, then cursed inwardly, "Are you cheating? How can it be disassembled and used like this?"
With a *swish*!
The short spears retracted, and with a forceful slash, they cut open Bai Ye’s shoulder.
Fortunately, the cotton-padded jacket was thick enough, and Bai Ye was close. The Predator couldn’t exert much force, only managing to cut through the cotton jacket, causing white cotton wadding to drift out.
However, with the spear transformed into two short spears, the length became more suitable. Bai Ye dared not continue to close in and quickly created distance.
But this time, it was the Predator that pursued relentlessly, raising a short spear and thrusting forward.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ye suddenly revealed a peculiar smile.
“You fell for it!” Bai Ye grinned, suddenly extending a claw forward: “Qi Guan Long Zhao!”
The Predator looked bewildered. At a distance of one and a half meters, Bai Ye’s reach absolutely could not hit it. Conversely, at this distance, its reach combined with the short spear would definitely hit Bai Ye.
So, was this seeking death?
But the moment the Predator thought this, as the claw extended, the surrounding five elements seemed to condense, forming the shape of a dragon claw. Before the short spear could hit Bai Ye, it fiercely struck the Predator’s chest.
The Predator’s body recoiled as if struck by a heavy blow, retreating continuously. Beneath its mask, blood flowed out.
In that instant, the Predator felt its internal organs tremble, as if its entire body had been punched.
Bai Ye flicked his wrist, placing one hand behind his back, and looked at the Predator, saying, “How does the external force of Shaolin fist feel? Quite comfortable, isn’t it?”
Hearing Bai Ye’s provocation, the Predator became enraged, raised a short spear, and hurled it towards Bai Ye.
