Bai Lu couldn't help but burst into laughter, then pulled out a machine gun and aimed it at Bai Ye.
But...
Bai Lu had clearly overlooked something, such as... the 138 Reading Network.
The Tyrannomon!
The Tyrannomon suddenly circled out from the side of the ruins and charged towards Bai Lu.
Bai Lu quickly raised her riot shield, and then...
*Bang!*
With the Tyrannomon's head hitting the riot shield and then being forcefully flicked upwards, Bai Lu flew backward, tumbling uncontrollably on the ground.
However...
*Rumble!*
The moment Bai Lu flew out, an explosion suddenly occurred. The spot where Bai Lu had been standing erupted in a massive fireball, the terrifying blast wave throwing the Tyrannomon to the ground and causing a section of the adjacent ruins to collapse.
Three fell in one exchange...
The Tyrannomon shook its body and was the first to get up. Bai Ye rubbed his face, his vision gradually clearing.
Bai Lu felt intense pain in her ribs but gritted her teeth and climbed to her feet. She then produced a Gatling gun and aimed it at Bai Ye.
Tyrannomon?
Bai Lu wasn't interested!
What mattered most was that Bai Lu was experienced enough to know that dealing with the Tyrannomon was futile. Killing it wouldn't kill Bai Ye, but killing Bai Ye would naturally make the Tyrannomon, as Bai Ye's contracted beast, retreat.
"Frost Sword, Ice Barrier!"
Bai Ye let out a low cry, causing the Frost Sword to materialize before him. Soon, an ice wall shot up from the ground.
*Rat-tat-tat, tat, tat...*
The Gatling gun fired, its bullets hitting the ice wall, causing frost to bloom. However, it couldn't destroy the wall in a short period.
Meanwhile, the Tyrannomon had already launched another charge.
Bai Lu had no choice but to swivel her gun and aim at the Tyrannomon.
*Clang, clang, clang!*
Bullets rained down, continuously striking the Tyrannomon's body, but to no avail.
The Tyrannomon's skin was like metal. The bullets couldn't even penetrate its body, let alone leave a single scratch.
Bai Lu decisively dropped the machine gun and began to flee backward.
But...
"Earth Spell!"
Bai Ye conjured a talisman, and then, earth walls rose one after another, blocking Bai Lu's path.
Bai Ye snarled, "You've come this far, and you think you can leave?"
Bai Lu wasted no words. She spun around abruptly, a grenade launcher appearing in her hand, and she opened fire forward.
*Boom, boom, boom...*
Grenades flew out one after another, landing around the Tyrannomon. Then, thunderous roars erupted continuously.
While ordinary firearms were almost useless against the Tyrannomon, the grenades had an effect.
The Tyrannomon was pushed and swayed by the explosions, unable to advance.
However, that was all. Explosions of this magnitude couldn't kill the Tyrannomon.
And the moment all six grenades were fired...
Bai Lu quickly dropped the grenade launcher, intending to switch weapons. From the rising black smoke, a playing card suddenly spun out.
*Pfft!* The playing card directly pierced Bai Lu's backhand, instantly spraying blood. The sharp pain caused the machine gun Bai Lu had just drawn to fall to the ground.
On the other side, Bai Ye, using the smoke as cover, suddenly surged forward, Frost Sword in hand, and slashed down at Bai Lu.
Bai Lu painfully pulled open her clothes and drew a military knife from her waist!
*Clang!*
A crisp clash of metal echoed. The two weapons collided, but Bai Lu's strength was clearly inferior to Bai Ye's. The military knife was continuously pressed down until the edge of the Frost Sword landed on Bai Lu's shoulder.
Little by little...
It pressed down further!
Scarlet blood immediately seeped out, flowing downwards and dyeing her sleeve a blood-red color.
Bai Ye grinned, "Woman, it seems you are no match for me."
As he spoke, Bai Ye glanced to the side.
The Tyrannomon had already started running again, charging towards them.
If Bai Lu didn't break free from Bai Ye's grasp soon, she would be directly hit by the Tyrannomon. Bai Lu's body, unlike Yin Hu's, was not as robust after using his powers. Facing the Tyrannomon's charge, a direct hit could result in broken bones, which would be a relatively light injury.
But at this moment...
"Myriad Sword Art!"
A light cry suddenly came from the sky.
Bai Ye's pupils contracted. He looked up and saw dense illusory swords descending towards him.
Bai Ye quickly leaped backward, moving away from the area covered by the illusory swords.
*Rumble, rumble, rumble!*
Each illusory sword that landed caused a deafening boom, shattering the ground and leaving behind deep craters.
Bai Ye looked up and saw Situ Chi Cheng standing on a flying sword, looking down from above.
Bai Ye sneered, "The two of you have teamed up?"
Situ Chi Cheng curved his lips. Then, the moment the dust settled...
Situ Chi Cheng suddenly formed a sword seal. Immediately, the illusory swords that had pierced the ground rose again, attacking Bai Lu from all directions.
*Pfft, pfft, pfft...*
In an instant, Bai Lu's body was pinned by the illusory swords like a hedgehog, covered in countless bloody holes.
Bai Lu's body swayed, blood trickling from her lips, and then she collapsed softly onto the ground.
Bai Ye couldn't help but lick his lips.
Alright, Situ Chi Cheng clearly hadn't teamed up with Bai Lu to prevent Bai Ye from killing her. He simply wanted to kill her himself because that was the only way to obtain the God Stone fragment.
This made things interesting.
Because...
Situ Chi Cheng was injured!
The Daoist robe on Situ Chi Cheng had noticeable tears, and bloodstains were visible in several places. Furthermore, Situ Chi Cheng's left hand clearly looked unnatural, hanging limply, and he used only one hand when forming sword seals.
Just as Bai Ye had predicted, although Situ Chi Cheng was powerful, it was impossible for him to fight the three, Chou Niu, Wu Ma, and Hai Zhu, without paying a price.
However, after discovering the commotion caused by Bai Lu and Bai Ye's fight, Situ Chi Cheng had turned back.
"It seems..." Bai Ye said, "I was underestimated?"
Situ Chi Cheng replied, "Don't worry, it's not just you I underestimated."
Bai Ye asked, "Oh?"
Situ Chi Cheng stated, "All of you, I look down upon."
Bai Ye froze for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Situ Chi Cheng was still Situ Chi Cheng, as arrogant as he was in his previous life. Meeting him again in this life, he was still the same.
"A pity..." Bai Ye sighed, "This is the last time we'll meet."
