Bai Ye looked at the blood on the ground and sneered again, "You're dying!"
Yin Hu gritted his teeth and remained silent, knowing that Bai Ye was intentionally trying to affect his emotions. The best course of action was to not respond, to act as if he heard nothing.
*Bang!*
Forcing back the bone-chilling cold spreading through his body, Yin Hu leaped towards Bai Ye once more, intending to kill him.
But the moment he reached Bai Ye, Tyrantmon suddenly twisted its body, and its massive tail whipped towards Yin Hu.
*Bang!*
Yin Hu raised his mechanical arm to meet Tyrantmon's tail strike, and then...
A mechanical whirring sound suddenly erupted as blades sprang from the edge of the mechanical arm.
*Swoosh!*
Tyrantmon's tail was gashed open, and blood splattered onto the ground.
Bai Ye's pupils contracted as he watched Tyrantmon recoil in pain, his expression darkening.
"It seems you're eager to die!" Bai Ye took a deep breath and charged forward, "I'll grant your wish!"
Bai Ye bent his legs slightly and rushed forward, heading straight for Yin Hu.
As he ran, Bai Ye pulled out a deck of playing cards and scattered them ahead of him. Countless cards flew into the air, dispersing.
But the next instant, the Paper God ability activated, and the playing cards suddenly suspended in mid-air, then descended like a barrage of sharp blades.
Yin Hu quickly brought his mechanical arm in front of him. From the front of the arm, a ring of metal pieces suddenly shot out, forming a circle that became a shield.
*Clang, clang, clang...*
The playing cards struck the shield's surface, producing crisp sounds.
Then...
Bai Ye leaped into the air and stomped hard on the shield, forcing Yin Hu backward.
Yin Hu steadied himself and immediately raised his mechanical arm, intending to fire. However, at this moment, a strange noise came from the mechanical arm. After a tremor, it failed to emit the energy sphere as expected.
"I see..." Bai Ye chuckled, "This is a defective product, isn't it? Let me guess, this should be a full set of mechanical armor, but you only managed to get one arm?"
Yin Hu's face turned grim, and Bai Ye immediately knew he had guessed correctly.
Advanced technology weapons like these were not easily obtained. While not entirely impossible, it was generally difficult due to their unknown origins and the inherent danger.
But if it was a defective product, that was another matter. Of course, even obtaining a defective product was impressive. However, since it was incomplete, it naturally had flaws.
So...
Strike while the iron is hot!
Bai Ye gave Tyrantmon a look.
Tyrantmon was indeed intelligent; a shared glance told Bai Ye what he needed.
*Roar!*
The next instant, Tyrantmon threw its head back and roared. From its gaping maw, a large burst of flames suddenly appeared.
Super Flame!
Accompanied by Tyrantmon's roar, a torrent of flames was spewed out. In an instant, it formed a sea of fire that surged forward, the rolling flames like waves, one after another, overlapping endlessly.
Yin Hu dared not confront it directly; fire was not something that could be blocked by a mere shield.
But as Yin Hu tried to retreat from the area covered by flames...
"Fire Curse!"
Bai Ye formed a talisman in his hand and pressed it forward in the air. Immediately...
*Boom!*
The flames within the sea of fire exploded. The massive blast wave sent Yin Hu flying, and he landed heavily on the ground.
Bai Ye seized the opportunity to attack, swiftly closing in on Yin Hu.
Yin Hu quickly raised his shield.
*Clang!*
Bai Ye raised his palm and struck the shield directly.
Feeling the force from the shield, Yin Hu breathed a sigh of relief. He did not fear Bai Ye's strength, not even with Bai Ye's T-virus enhanced body.
What Yin Hu feared was the cold energy of the Xuanming Divine Palm. Its penetration into the body was excruciatingly painful. At this moment, Yin Hu felt as if his internal organs were frozen, causing immense agony.
But as long as his body did not directly touch Bai Ye, the shield blocked Bai Ye's palm...
"You think not being touched can prevent the cold energy from entering your body?"
Bai Ye's voice echoed softly.
Yin Hu was instantly startled, then looked at his shield. Frost had already formed on its surface. Following that, a wisp of cold energy drifted past the shield and wrapped around Yin Hu's arm.
In an instant, Yin Hu's arm turned bluish-purple, showing signs of frostbite.
"Ugh..."
Feeling the pain, Yin Hu retreated, clutching his elbow, trying to prevent the cold from spreading further up.
But at this moment...
*Swoosh!*
A gleam of silver sword light suddenly appeared behind Yin Hu and slashed down.
Accompanying Yin Hu's scream, a sound of tearing flesh rang out as his mechanical-arm severed and flew into the air.
Bai Ye casually lowered his hand, and the Frost Condensing Sword flew back to his side.
"There!" Bai Ye said to Yin Hu, "Your last reliance is gone now, isn't it?"
Yin Hu gritted his teeth, panting heavily against the wall behind him.
"It seems you truly have no more moves," Bai Ye gripped the Frost Condensing Sword and declared, "Then, die!"
*Swoosh!*
Bai Ye swept the Frost Condensing Sword forward with force, a bloody line appearing across Yin Hu's neck.
The next instant, Bai Ye turned and walked away.
Yin Hu's body slid slowly down the wall to the ground. Simultaneously, his supernatural abilities failed, and his once robust body rapidly shriveled, quickly reverting to its normal human form, and then...
He ceased to breathe.
1:41 AM, Yin Hu, deceased!
...
With Yin Hu's elimination, six participants remained out of the twelve in the Great Battle, leaving only half. They were one step closer to the end.
However, this was not what made Bai Ye happiest. What made him happier was...
"You have eliminated a participant (Supernatural World)."
"You have obtained a fragment of a God Stone."
Finally, a God Stone fragment!
Those who could participate in the Twelve Great Battles were the top twelve individuals who had completed the restricted zone missions. This meant that every participant undoubtedly possessed God Stone fragments.
Then...
Xī Jī, Sì Shé, Wèi Yáng...
He had killed three, yet not a single God Stone fragment had been obtained. Bai Ye was on the verge of a breakdown. While his luck with the gacha today was good, it shouldn't have come at the cost of his luck in other areas!
Fortunately, Yin Hu was helpful, and Bai Ye finally saw a God Stone fragment.
"I hope the next opponents will be as cooperative," Bai Ye thought gleefully, when suddenly...
*Boom!*
Abruptly, in the silent night, a thunderous sound erupted.
...
