"Come on!"
Bai Ye watched the Licker turn its body, a grin suddenly appearing on its lips as it beckoned with a finger.
Roar!
Whether the Licker understood the provocation was unknown, but it was clearly enraged. It let out a low hiss in Bai Ye's direction, then its legs pushed off hard, lunging forward again.
At that very moment, Bai Ye twisted his waist sharply, spun around, and ducked behind a nearby metal shelf. He then leaped up and slammed into the shelf!
With a bang, the metal shelf was knocked over.
The Licker lifted its head, staring at the falling metal shelf. With no chance to dodge, it was directly hit by the toppling shelf, its body slammed to the ground.
Blood flowed from the Licker's back, and a faint scent of blood filled the air.
But the Licker seemed oblivious, only roaring continuously. Its body slowly bulged, attempting to push the metal shelf aside.
However, just as the metal shelf was lifted slightly, Bai Ye suddenly leaped up, landing on top of it.
With a clang, the metal shelf, which the Licker had just begun to lift, was slammed back down. Bai Ye then stepped onto the shelf, moved in front of the Licker, and raised his pistol to its head.
"Say goodbye, oh, sorry, I forgot you can't speak human language anymore."
Bang!
Bai Ye pulled the trigger, and a bloody hole appeared in the center of the Licker's forehead.
Bai Ye stood up, preparing to holster his pistol, but at that moment...
"Not bad for someone from a lower world."
A voice suddenly spoke.
Bai Ye's expression tightened slightly. He spun around, raising his gun towards the doorway. But the instant Bai Ye turned, a streak of silver light flashed past him, striking his gun. Then, Bai Ye felt a sharp pain in his wrist as the pistol was knocked flying by the silver light.
A young man wearing a white robe, a jade belt, and with long hair flowing entered from the doorway.
"Someone from a Wuxia world again?" Bai Ye looked at the silver light that had attacked him, now floating beside the man. As the light faded, it revealed a small sword, about half an arm's length. He realized with a nod, "Someone from a cultivation world?"
"Liang Luo, disciple of Kunlun's Jade Void Hall."
Liang Luo spoke with his head held high, clearly proud of his origins. He then looked at Bai Ye and shook his head, "Forget it, what does it matter if I tell you? You guys from lower worlds wouldn't understand anyway. You can't comprehend Kunlun's power. After all, you're just insignificant ants toiling away in the mortal realm."
The World Battlefield summoned chosen ones from different worlds. Different worlds, different civilizations, and different developments meant that some people were naturally more adept at combat and possessed higher combat capabilities. Conversely, those from peaceful worlds would naturally be at a disadvantage in the World Battlefield.
Cultivation civilization worlds clearly belonged to the combat-proficient type. Therefore, chosen ones from cultivation worlds had always been arrogant, considering themselves from higher worlds.
"Ha!" Bai Ye chuckled, looking at Liang Luo. "Indeed, after ten years, it's still the same as ten years ago. You guys who come from cultivation worlds are always so annoying!"
As Bai Ye spoke, his peripheral vision constantly scanned the side.
The moment his words fell, Bai Ye suddenly feigned a lunge to the side, intending to retrieve his pistol.
Clatter!
Liang Luo acted. The flying sword suspended beside him immediately shot out, striking the pistol on the ground and sending it flying even further away.
"Trying to play tricks in front of me?" Liang Luo sneered. "You have no chance... hmm..."
After knocking the pistol away, Liang Luo looked at Bai Ye, only to find that Bai Ye had merely put on a show and hadn't actually lunged. At the same time, a gacha machine had appeared beside Bai Ye.
Bai Ye had no intention of retrieving his pistol; he merely wanted to draw Liang Luo's attention to it. Then, using that opening, he pulled out the gacha machine.
With a "ka-cha, ka-cha" sound, the gacha machine spun, and then a blue capsule rolled out.
Bai Ye twisted open the capsule and took out a card, then couldn't help but smile.
"Cultivation, huh?" Bai Ye said with a smile. "Then let's see whose immortal path is better cultivated!"
Zzzzt!
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, a crackling sound of electricity erupted.
In the next instant, the fluorescent lights around them began to flicker, turning on and off erratically.
A bolt of azure electricity suddenly appeared, shooting forward. It grazed Liang Luo's cheek and struck the wall behind him.
Boom!
The wall let out a loud roar, and a metal plate was blown to smithereens, falling from the wall.
Liang Luo was stunned into silence, his gaze towards Bai Ye filled with fear. He muttered, "Is that Thunder Strike? Are you a disciple of Shu Mountain?"
Thunder Strike? Shu Mountain disciple?
He didn't even know which way Shu Mountain's gate opened!
That sudden surge of electricity was entirely because...
Bai Ye slowly turned the card in his hand. It clearly read: "Lord Thunder, Assist Me!"
What Bai Ye had drawn from the gacha machine this time was the ability to draw lightning to himself and control electricity.
In the next moment, Bai Ye thrust his hand forward. Azure electricity danced at his fingertips. After forming a continuous line, it shot towards Liang Luo again.
Zzzzt!
The piercing sound of surging electricity arose once more.
Seeing the incoming electricity, Liang Luo lost his previous arrogance. His eyes were filled with terror. He managed to form a sword finger, and the small sword suspended beside him transformed into silver light once more, flying forward.
But...
It was useless!
Boom!
The silver light collided with the electricity, emitting a deafening roar. Then, Liang Luo, along with his sword, was blasted backward, crashing hard against the wall, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Looking up, he saw Bai Ye, enveloped in crackling electricity, advancing again. Liang Luo scrambled to his feet in panic and bolted towards the exit, intending to escape.
Bai Ye wasn't in a hurry to pursue. Watching Liang Luo flee, he let out a cold laugh and then slammed his fist into the wall beside him.
Zzzzt!
The sound of surging electricity reappeared. Large amounts of current spread outward from Bai Ye's body like liquid, quickly covering the entire wall.
Concurrently, the lights in the corridor began to flicker erratically.
Liang Luo ran forward frantically, but at that moment, a wave of electricity swept down from the ceiling and rained down upon him.
"Ah!"
A miserable scream instantly echoed through the corridor.
