Chapter 201 The Battle of Life and Death

Bai Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and pushed himself up from the ground, saying, "It's not yet decided who will die, is it?"

Adam took a deep breath, suddenly sank his body, raised his rhombus shield, and then placed the Star Sword on top of the shield, adopting a charging posture.

Bang!

The ground beneath their feet was once again pulverized, and Adam lunged at Bai Ye again.

Bai Ye also exhaled immediately, and then a large cloud of poisonous smoke was blown out by him, drifting in all directions.

At the same time...

While releasing the poisonous smoke, Bai Ye also quickly took out several Dao talismans. Holding them between his fingers, he flicked them lightly, and the talismans quickly ignited.

"Earth Spire Technique!"

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

As the Dao talismans burned, the surrounding ground began to shake, countless cracks spread, and then huge rocks were lifted by an invisible force, standing around Bai Ye.

Adam's gaze was stern; he had no intention of stopping.

Since he had already charged, there was no question of stopping.

"Starlight!"

Adam roared, thrusting the Star Sword in his hand forward, and a large amount of starlight bloomed from the blade.

Rumble!

As the starlight overflowed, a huge explosion suddenly occurred.

The giant rocks in front of him were blown to pieces by the power of the stars, and then Adam raised his shield, swept away the flying stones, and continued forward without hesitation.

Bai Ye, within reach!

But...

Adam had to stop!

A sudden wave of dizziness washed over him, and Adam's vision began to blur. Everything before him gradually turned black. At the same time, a buzzing sound echoed in Adam's ears, and then he could hear nothing else. The surrounding air, due to the battle, was filled with various scents: the smell of burnt gunpowder and explosions, the smell of dust from destroyed buildings, the smell of blood from corpses, and now, Adam could smell nothing.

Senses Deprivation!

Then...

Bai Ye sprinted forward and kicked Adam squarely in the chest, sending him stumbling backward. Before Adam could regain his balance, the renowned blade Blood Drinker slashed forward.

Puff!

Adam's right chest was sliced open, and as the wound appeared, a splash of crimson blood spurted out.

Adam gritted his teeth and swung his shield around, but it was useless. At this moment, Adam was merely attacking blindly based on his senses. In fact, after landing the blow, Bai Ye decisively retreated.

Then...

He slowly shifted his steps, slowly maneuvering...

At this moment, Bai Ye was like a viper that had spotted its prey, waiting for an opportunity, looking for a weakness in the prey, and then...

To strike!

Suddenly, the moment Adam stopped swinging his shield, Bai Ye darted forward.

Adam's combat experience was rich. Even without his senses, he skillfully used his rhombus shield to protect his vital points.

However, it was only his vital points!

Bai Ye quickly moved to Adam's side, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and then the renowned blade Blood Drinker pierced into Adam's lower back.

Puff!

The sound of tearing flesh rang out.

Blood instantly gushed out and was rapidly absorbed by the renowned blade Blood Drinker, integrating into the blade.

Feeling the pain in his waist, Adam roared and swung the Star Sword forcefully backward!

A large wave of starlight erupted from the blade and blasted to the side, smashing a pillar inside the bank into pieces.

The broken pillar collapsed, crushing the desk below and instantly stirring up a cloud of dust.

However, Bai Ye had already pulled back and punched forward with his left fist.

"Blood Demon Technique!"

Blood Demon Technique (condenses absorbed blood into Blood Demon Orbs for attack, with additional magic attack bonus based on mental power; current bonus is 5%)

Bai Ye brandished the renowned blade Blood Drinker, and then a large number of blood-red magic orbs appeared, heading towards Adam.

It was time to end this!

With his senses gone and injured, it would be difficult for Adam to evade this attack.

But at this moment...

Adam suddenly crouched, sidestepped, and pushed off with his legs!

The blood-red magic orbs whizzed past Adam's body and struck the wall in front of him, then...

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

The wall groaned, constantly being pulverized by the blood-red magic orbs, collapsing outward.

As Adam leaped away, he aimed his shield towards Bai Ye.

Mechanical whirring sounds came from within the shield, and then, four small openings opened on the four corners of the rhombus.

Four rhombus shurikens attached to iron chains shot out, incredibly fast. A flash of silver in the air, and they were in front of Bai Ye.

"Ugh!"

Bai Ye grunted, his body trembling slightly.

Two of the shurikens pierced Bai Ye's legs, one pierced his waist, and another lodged in his arm.

The next instant, Adam forcefully pulled the chains, dragging Bai Ye to the ground and pulling him towards himself!

"Ah!"

The intense pain made Bai Ye cry out involuntarily.

The shurikens were strange; as Adam pulled them, they did not come out of Bai Ye's body but seemed embedded within him, tearing at his flesh until Bai Ye was dragged to his front.

"A very potent poison gas, capable of stripping one's senses." Adam looked down at Bai Ye and said, "Unfortunately, my power is not something a human from a low-level world like you can comprehend. Do you think humans only have five senses? That's because you've never experienced the existence of Gene Gates. With the opening of Gene Gates, the sixth, seventh, and eighth senses are all amplified, making one extremely sensitive to time and space. Therefore, even if my eyes cannot see, I know exactly where you are."

As Adam spoke, he raised the Star Sword.

"You managed to land that blow only because I allowed it, to make you complacent," Adam sneered. "Now, you will pay the price."

Looking at the flashing sword light, Bai Ye suddenly chuckled, licking his lips and saying, "Fine, I admit you outmaneuvered me, but you shouldn't have gotten so close!"

Adam froze for a moment, not understanding what Bai Ye meant.

But at this moment...

"Poison Dragon!"

A large amount of purple venom erupted from Bai Ye's body, and under Bai Ye's control, it enveloped Adam.

Almost instantly, Adam felt as if he had been thrown into a pool of concentrated sulfuric acid, and intense stinging and burning sensations surged through him.
