Bai Ye was a bit bewildered by this move.
He could understand dodging his attacks or blocking them, but for the opponent to suddenly step on his weapon was something else entirely.
It was only because the She W an (Snake Tail Maru) had a special design, elongating like a snake and making it difficult to exert force when stationary, that the opponent succeeded.
Then, Bai Ye suddenly thought, had the Predator seen through this, and that was why it did this?
If that were truly the case, Bai Ye could only say: Xiu'er, why are you so brilliant?
As Bai Ye was contemplating, the Predator had already started running, rapidly approaching Bai Ye at high speed.
Bai Ye grinned. Even if the She W an's swing was restrained...
He didn't only have one weapon!
Suddenly, a cold glint appeared, exceptionally bright under the night sky, heading forward, straight for the Predator's face.
Clang!
The Predator quickly raised its wrist blade, and after colliding with the sword energy, it knocked the Ning Shuang Sword (Frost Condensation Sword) away. However, the Predator was forced to stop.
But Bai Ye had no intention of stopping.
"Phoenix!" Bai Ye shouted, "Phoenix Flame!"
Boom!
As Bai Ye's fist shot out, a massive ball of fire suddenly exploded, burning fiercely in front of him. It then advanced forward, engulfing the Predator.
The Predator was more agile than Bai Ye had imagined. It leaped to the side, then pushed off the ground with one palm, propelling itself sideways again. As it landed after a mid-air rotation, it pushed off its toes once more, rapidly moving backward.
This series of movements was fluid and seamless, almost instantly leaving the area covered by flames. It even left Bai Ye bewildered again.
Are you a gymnast?
And in the moment Bai Ye was dazed, mechanical whirring sounds came from the Predator, and then a shoulder cannon, about the size of a mineral water bottle, shot out from its right shoulder.
Upon seeing this thing, Bai Ye immediately began to evade to the side.
The Predator's shoulder cannon, more accurately called a plasma cannon, was a symbol of the Predator's advanced technological civilization.
Of course, if technological civilizations were classified, the Predators were probably at the lowest tier of advanced civilizations. Their plasma cannons and cloaking devices were likely their best technological products, barely reaching black-grade quality.
However, even so, it was still a futuristic weapon of a high-tier item. A direct hit from this thing was no laughing matter.
Therefore, Bai Ye continued to run, while the Predator circled in place, using the infrared system of its biomask to constantly track Bai Ye, but never managing to lock onto him.
It was at this moment...
Jin Sha secretly approached the Predator from behind.
This was because Jin Sha noticed that the opponent seemed to have overlooked her presence.
Since that was the case...
"Duoduo Bing!" Jin Sha suddenly waved and shouted, "Mirror Shot!"
Duoduo Bing suddenly emitted a metallic sheen, and then a white beam of light was fired forward.
The Predator reacted extremely quickly. Upon hearing the movement behind it, it immediately turned around.
Rumble!
The Predator fired its shoulder cannon.
A plasma beam appeared and collided with Duoduo Bing's Mirror Shot!
The result...
There was no suspense!
Although the Predator's shoulder cannon was only considered entry-level among futuristic weapons, it was still a high-tier item. How could Duoduo Bing's attack compare?
Thus, after a loud explosion.
Duoduo Bing's beam was instantly shattered, and the massive impact created a shockwave that rippled outwards in circles.
Jin Sha cried out in surprise and was sent flying backward with Duoduo Bing, crashing heavily onto the ground. After a moment of chest tightness, Jin Sha tilted her head and spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the snow red.
However, Bai Ye wanted to shout...
Well done!
The Predator's shoulder cannons had many types, and the one on the Predator in front of them was clearly not a rapid-fire type, but a charged type.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have aimed for so long earlier when it couldn't guarantee hitting Bai Ye.
And the charged shoulder cannon, while more powerful, had a drawback...
It required charging before firing!
Bai Ye sprinted towards the Predator. As expected, the Predator turned around and swung its wrist blade but did not use its shoulder cannon again.
This indicated that Bai Ye had guessed correctly; the opponent wasn't unwilling to use it, but temporarily unable to!
Clang!
In an instant, Bai Ye arrived, and his She W an swung forward, forcefully striking the Predator's wrist blade. Then...
Pfft!
The moment the Predator raised its wrist blade to block the attack, the Ning Shuang Sword, like a silver light, attacked from behind and pierced the Predator's abdomen.
Intense pain caused the Predator's body to tremble. It also ignited the Predator's ferocity!
With an angry roar, the Predator's strength seemed to increase significantly. It blocked the She W an with one hand and grabbed Bai Ye's clothes with the other, lifting Bai Ye forcefully.
But...
Bai Ye's means were not limited to "external objects" like weapons!
"Phoenix!"
In an instant, the moment the Predator grabbed him, flames erupted from Bai Ye's body, enveloping him and making him look like a giant fireball.
The Predator involuntarily recoiled its hand, and in that instant...
Bai Ye flipped over and, as he landed, directly appeared behind the Predator. At the same time, his She W an extended again, coiling around the Predator's neck.
The next moment...
With a *thwack*!
The Predator's body suddenly stiffened in place, and then its head slowly tilted, suddenly falling from its neck.
Thump!
With the fall of its head, the Predator's body also pitched forward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
The Predator...
Is dead!
Bai Ye took a deep breath, sheathed his Zanpakuto, and then walked towards Jin Sha, saying, "How is it? Are you alright?"
Jin Sha, after taking a blow, looked somewhat uncomfortable, but after catching her breath, she felt much better. She managed to prop herself up and waved her hand at Bai Ye, saying, "I'm fine."
Bai Ye nodded, reached out, and pulled Jin Sha up from the ground. "We need to keep moving and leave here as soon as possible, because we can't be sure if there are more Predators, or how many there are."
Jin Sha said, "But we don't have the snowmobile anymore."
Bai Ye shrugged, "Then we'll go on foot."
In this snowy weather, and at night, traveling on foot would indeed be difficult. But according to Bai Ye's memory, the monitoring station wasn't far from the scientific expedition base.
