"Come on!"
Bai Ye watched as the Licker turned, grinning, and beckoned it with a finger.
Roar!
Whether the Licker understood the provocation or not, it was clearly enraged. It hissed in Bai Ye's direction, then stomped its legs and lunged again.
Just then, Bai Ye twisted his waist violently, spun around, and ducked behind a metal shelf. He then leaped up and slammed into the shelf!
With a bang, the metal shelf was knocked over.
The Licker raised its head, staring at the falling shelf. It had no chance to dodge and was directly hit, its body crashing to the ground.
Blood flowed from the Licker's back, and a faint scent of blood filled the air.
But the Licker seemed oblivious, continuing to roar as its body slowly bulged, trying to push the shelf away.
However, just as the Licker began to lift the shelf, Bai Ye suddenly leaped up and landed on it.
With a clang, the shelf that the Licker had just lifted was smashed back down. Bai Ye then stepped on the shelf and approached the Licker, holding his pistol to its head.
"Say goodbye, oh, sorry, I forgot you can't speak human anymore."
Bang!
Bai Ye pulled the trigger, and a bloody hole appeared in the Licker's forehead.
Bai Ye stood up, preparing to holster his pistol, when suddenly...
"Not bad for someone from a low-level world."
A voice suddenly spoke.
Bai Ye's expression tensed slightly. He spun around and aimed his gun at the doorway. But as he turned, a silver light flashed past him, striking the barrel of his gun. Then, Bai Ye felt a sharp pain in his wrist as the pistol was knocked from his hand by the silver light.
A young man in a white robe, with a jade belt and long flowing hair, strode in from the doorway.
"Another one from a martial arts world?" Bai Ye looked at the silver light that had attacked him, now floating beside the man. As the light faded, it revealed a small sword, less than half an arm's length long. He then realized with a look of understanding, "Someone from the cultivation world?"
"Liang Luo, disciple of Kunlun's Jade Void Hall."
Liang Luo spoke with his head held high, clearly proud of his origin. He then looked at Bai Ye and shook his head, "Never mind, what does it matter if I tell you? You, from a low-level world, wouldn't understand anyway. You can't comprehend the power of Kunlun, after all, you are just insignificant ants toiling in the mortal world."
The World Battlefield summoned chosen ones from different worlds. Different worlds, different civilizations, and different developments meant that some worlds had people who were naturally better at combat with higher combat abilities, while those from peaceful worlds would naturally be at a disadvantage upon entering the World Battlefield.
Worlds with cultivation civilizations clearly belonged to the combat-oriented type. Therefore, chosen ones from cultivation worlds had always been arrogant and considered themselves to be from higher worlds.
"Ha!" Bai Ye chuckled, looking at Liang Luo. "Indeed, ten years later, it's still ten years ago. You people from the cultivation world are always so annoying!"
As Bai Ye spoke, his peripheral vision was fixed on the side.
The moment he finished speaking, Bai Ye suddenly feigned a lunge to the side, as if to retrieve his pistol.
Clang!
Liang Luo reacted. The flying sword hovering beside him immediately shot out, striking the pistol on the ground and sending it flying further away.
"Trying to play tricks in front of me?" Liang Luo sneered. "You have no chance... huh..."
After knocking away the pistol, Liang Luo looked at Bai Ye, only to find that Bai Ye had merely pretended to lunge. At the same time, a...
gachapon machine!
Bai Ye had no intention of retrieving the pistol. He had only wanted to distract Liang Luo with it, and in that brief window, he had pulled out the gachapon machine.
With a series of clicks and whirs, the gachapon machine spun, and then a blue capsule rolled out.
Bai Ye opened the capsule and took out a card, then couldn't help but smile.
"Cultivation, huh?" Bai Ye said with a laugh. "Then let's see who cultivates the immortal path better!"
Zzzzzzzzzzz!
The moment Bai Ye spoke, a crackling sound of electricity surged.
In the next instant, the surrounding fluorescent lights began to flicker, alternating between bright and dim.
A sapphire-blue current suddenly appeared and shot forward, grazing Liang Luo's cheek and hitting the wall behind him.
Boom!
The wall let out a deafening roar, and a metal plate was blown to smithereens, falling from the wall.
Liang Luo was so startled that he was speechless, a hint of fear in his eyes as he looked at Bai Ye. He stammered, "That's the Thunderclap Flash? Are you a disciple of Mount Shu?"
Thunderclap Flash? Mount Shu disciple?
He didn't even know which way Mount Shu's gate was!
That sudden surge of electricity was entirely because...
Bai Ye slowly turned the card in his hand. It clearly read: "Lord Thunder, Aid Me!"
What Bai Ye had gotten from the gachapon machine this time was the ability to draw lightning to himself and control electricity.
In the next moment, Bai Ye suddenly thrust his hand forward. Sapphire-blue currents danced at his fingertips, connecting into a line before surging towards Liang Luo once more.
Zzzzzzzzzzz!
The ear-piercing sound of surging electricity erupted again.
Watching the incoming current, Liang Luo's previous arrogance vanished, his eyes filled with terror. He managed to form a sword-finger, and the small sword hovering beside him turned into a silver light and shot forward again.
But...
It was useless!
Boom!
The silver light collided with the current, creating a loud explosion. Then, Liang Luo, sword and all, was blasted backward, crashing heavily against the wall, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Looking up, he saw Bai Ye, crackling with electricity, advancing again. Liang Luo scrambled up from the ground in panic and bolted towards the doorway, intending to escape.
Bai Ye didn't rush to pursue. He watched Liang Luo flee, let out a cold laugh, and then punched the wall beside him.
Zzzzzzzzzzz!
The crackling sound of electricity reappeared. Large arcs of current spread outwards from Bai Ye's body like liquid, soon covering the entire wall.
At the same time, the lights in the corridor began to flicker erratically.
Liang Luo ran forward like a madman. Just then, a surge of electricity swept down from the ceiling and descended upon Liang Luo.
"Ah!"
A desolate scream instantly echoed through the corridor.
