The crimson bats dispersed and then reformed, quickly condensing again on the side.
But Bai Ye saw through it!
Hamir’s move was remarkably similar to the elementalization ability of the Goro Goro no Mi.
On one hand, the Goro Goro no Mi’s elementalization rendered one immune to physical attacks. On the other hand, with proper control, it could also be used to evade non-physical attacks.
For example, if someone were to hurl a fireball at Bai Ye, Bai Ye could use elementalization to transform his body into arcs of electricity. Once the fireball passed through, he could reform, thus dodging the attack.
Hamir’s blood bats might not be immune to physical attacks, but the principle behind their ability was the same.
Therefore…
Since Bai Ye himself possessed a similar technique, he naturally knew its flaw.
That flaw was that during the instant of dispersion and aggregation, one’s location could be easily discerned!
*Zzzzzzt!*
Bai Ye instantly appeared before the coalescing blood bats. As Hamir’s form reappeared, Bai Ye sharply raised his hand, grabbed Hamir by the neck, and slammed him against the wall.
"A vampire, are we?" Bai Ye said. "If you don't want me to truly turn you into a bat, then get lost while you still can!"
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, he exerted force with his arm.
*BOOM!*
The wall behind them shattered, and Hamir was sent crashing into the room by Bai Ye.
"Ah!"
Inside the hotel room, a scantily clad man and woman were embracing. The woman screamed in fear.
Hamir roared angrily, "Shut up!"
As Hamir spoke, he slashed sideways.
A large expanse of blood mist materialized, wrapping around Hamir's arm to form a blood blade. The man and woman were then directly bisected, their bodies spilling a large amount of blood and internal organs.
After this strike, Hamir stood up with a grim expression, glaring fiercely at Bai Ye.
Hamir had now confirmed two things.
The first was that Bai Ye was not to be trifled with!
The second was that Bai Ye had offended him!
Taking a deep breath, Hamir's eyes gradually turned blood red. Blood mist coiled around both his arms, and from within the mist, two enormous scythes made of condensed blood appeared.
"Aaaargh!"
Hamir roared and lunged towards Bai Ye.
The blood-red scythes swept forward, slicing the entire room in half.
Bai Ye rapidly leaped backward.
Those blood-red scythes were clearly no ordinary weapons. The condensed blood indicated they were not purely physical attacks, meaning the Goro Goro no Mi's elementalization would be ineffective.
After the initial attack, Hamir did not pause. He pushed off with his legs and continued to charge at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye attempted to summon the Kongtong Seal, but then remembered it was past midnight and the seal had vanished. He then extended his hand forward and made a grasping motion.
"Gate of Babylon!"
Behind Bai Ye, a golden barrier rapidly materialized.
Following this, as weapon after weapon emerged from the golden barrier, a vast expanse of golden ripples appeared behind Bai Ye, densely packed and appearing quite terrifying.
Of course, Bai Ye's current Gate of Babylon could not compare to Gilgamesh's monstrous collection of treasures from across the world. However, Gilgamesh did not release all the weapons from his treasury at once.
Instead, he launched a series of continuous attacks.
Bai Ye didn't know how many rounds of continuous attacks Gilgamesh could unleash, but at least Bai Ye could currently unleash one round of attacks with the same power as Gilgamesh.
At that moment, Hamir's expression shifted slightly.
The oppressive aura emanating from the densely packed weapons caused Hamir's spirit to stir.
The blood-red scythes rapidly disintegrated and transformed into a massive blood-red cloak that enveloped Hamir, forming a defense.
Then…
*Boom, boom, boom!*
Weapons from the Gate of Babylon furiously shot forward, continuously striking Hamir, creating tremendous roars.
The room instantly became a scene of devastation. Walls and pillars were continuously smashed, and furnishings were instantly pulverized.
Hamir was pushed back repeatedly. The blood-red cloak, which could initially withstand Bai Ye's attacks, was gradually torn apart.
*Thwack!*
A golden sword grazed Hamir's shoulder, opening a wound. Immediately after, an Shadow Axe struck Hamir's leg.
The pain contorted Hamir's expression, but at that moment, the Nanming Lihuo Sword pierced Hamir's waist, pinning him directly.
Hamir roared and suddenly charged to the side, crashing through the floor-to-ceiling window of the room and leaping out.
As he was about to plummet from the air, massive bat wings unfurled from his back, and he flew upwards.
Bai Ye did not hesitate. His body flickered as lightning, and he chased out of the room, also unfurling massive crystal wings behind him.
Feathered Echo: Phoenix!
Bai Ye took a deep breath and also soared upwards, pursuing Hamir to the hotel's rooftop, landing on the helipad.
The two faced each other. Bai Ye glanced at Hamir and couldn't help but tut.
Despite Hamir's disheveled appearance earlier, being battered by the Gate of Babylon, his injuries had completely healed upon landing. Not only was he no longer bleeding, but there wasn't even a scar.
This was within a span of at most three minutes.
This regenerative ability of super-speed healing was indeed terrifying.
However, it was precisely because Bai Ye knew Hamir possessed such an ability that he had attacked him, thus not worrying about accidentally killing him.
Otherwise, Bai Ye would not be able to kill Hamir, as that would mean elimination, nor would it be appropriate to severely injure Hamir, as Bai Ye still needed Hamir to obstruct Li Jiayi.
On the other side, Hamir, looking at his restored body, appeared even more enraged and anxious.
Bai Ye was stronger than he had imagined.
This was a troublesome opponent.
However, Hamir licked his lips, not believing he would lose.
In terms of offense and defense, Hamir might not be as capable as Bai Ye, but as long as Bai Ye couldn't kill him, he could outlast Bai Ye.
The innate talent of a vampire was Hamir's greatest advantage.
"Ah!"
As Hamir contemplated this, he opened his hands again, transforming them into two enormous blood-red scythes and slashing towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye dodged to the side, and the blood-red scythes struck the helipad.
*BOOM!*
The helipad was sliced open, with a large portion falling below and crashing onto the street.
A car belonging to an unlucky individual was instantly crushed, and the driver within was instantly turned into a bloody pulp.
Bai Ye and Hamir leaped simultaneously, their wings unfurling, and resumed their attacks in mid-air.
…
