Bai Ye frowned, then leaped backward.
After Bai Ye leaped away, that arm pressed onto the ground, and then Daki's back began to writhe. A man slowly emerged from Daki's body.
He had green hair like withered grass and a very peculiar body. The upper half of his torso was filled with explosive muscles, but his waist was incredibly slender, so thin it didn't seem like a normal person's waist, perhaps only as thick as two fists pressed together.
"Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry..." The man knelt before Daki, reaching out to wipe away her tears and saying, "Crying makes you lose your beauty, how can you become the most beautiful courtesan? Oh dear, didn't I tell you long ago not to be so stubborn when you're alone?"
As the man wiped away Daki's tears, he also reached out to caress her wounds.
In the next instant, the burns on Daki's body, caused by the explosion, miraculously healed. Her skin became so smooth and supple that it didn't look like it had ever been injured.
"There, there." The man patted Daki's head and said, "Leave the rest to me."
As he spoke, the man stood up and turned his gaze towards Bai Ye.
Only then did Bai Ye get a complete view of the opponent's face.
In stark contrast to Daki's exceptionally beautiful face, the man was very ugly.
The man's face was strange, gaunt and elongated, with patches of black spots on it. His teeth were also irregular, like saw blades.
But...
In his open eyes, there were numbers...
Upper Rank, Six!
Bai Ye reached up and wiped his face, activating the Predator's bio-mask.
Biological scan initiated...

Gyutaro?
It really is Upper Rank Six!
"So that's how it is!" Bai Ye looked at Gyutaro and said, "So there are two Upper Rank Sixes, or rather, you are the true Upper Rank Six? No wonder the woman behind you is so weak, she's a fake!"
"You're talking nonsense," Daki said angrily. "I am Upper Rank Six."
"Be good, don't get angry," Gyutaro patted Daki's head. "He's deliberately trying to provoke you. Getting angry makes you lose your beauty."
As Gyutaro spoke, he stepped in front of Daki.
"Can you please stop talking?" Gyutaro said, scratching at his own body, creating streaks of blood. An anxious expression appeared on his face. "My sister is very difficult to appease."
Bai Ye said, "Kill me, and I naturally won't be able to speak."
Gyutaro thought for a moment, then said, "That's a good idea."
As he spoke, Gyutaro spread his hands open, and blood blisters emerged from his palms.
These blood blisters wriggled continuously, like expanding flesh, quickly transforming into two sickles entwined with membrane.
The moment the sickles took shape, Gyutaro suddenly raised his hand and flung one of the sickles towards Bai Ye.
The sickle spun rapidly, terrifyingly fast.
But as it struck Bai Ye...
*Zzzap!*
A large amount of electricity suddenly surged from Bai Ye's body. The flying sickle pierced directly through Bai Ye's body and then...
*BOOM!*
A loud explosion echoed from behind Bai Ye.
Vast clouds of smoke billowed up. When Bai Ye turned his head, a house behind him had collapsed, turning into a pile of rubble.
This power...
Bai Ye turned back to look at Gyutaro. As expected, this must be the true Upper Rank Six.
Gyutaro had only attacked once, and Bai Ye could clearly sense that this guy's strength was more than one level above Daki's.
At the same time...
Gyutaro reached out, and the sickle spun back into his hand.
*Bang!*
The moment the sickle returned to his hand, Gyutaro powerfully pushed off with his legs, leaping towards Bai Ye.
Such speed!
However...
Bai Ye wasn't particularly surprised. The scanned information showed Gyutaro's speed reaching a staggering 271, which was an incredibly terrifying number.
At the very least, in terms of movement speed, Bai Ye was completely outmatched by Gyutaro. Bai Ye's speed was nearly a hundred points lower!
Of course, this was assuming Bai Ye didn't utilize his elementalized body for movement.
Gyutaro was fast...
But not faster than lightning!
The instant Gyutaro reached him, Bai Ye suddenly vanished and then suddenly reappeared, as if he hadn't moved at all, and Gyutaro had simply passed through him.
In the next moment...
Bai Ye violently swung his leg backward. Gyutaro quickly raised his arm to block.
*Clang!*
A bone-jarring collision.
In terms of strength, Gyutaro's stat was 188. This wasn't terrifying for Bai Ye, whose strength, with his continued combat and the advancement of the Five Elemental Incantations, was currently 173. The difference wasn't that significant.
Therefore, this collision was an even match. Then...
After blocking Bai Ye's attack, Gyutaro suddenly began to swing his sickles rapidly.
Gyutaro wasn't just fast in movement; his attack speed was also astonishing. As he swung his sickles, they transformed into streaks of red light, continuously slashing at Bai Ye.
From a third-person perspective, it would seem to happen in the blink of an eye. The bloody slashes from the sickles interwove like a vast net, completely enveloping Bai Ye.
The attack speed was also unimaginably terrifying.
Bai Ye had never encountered anyone this fast.
To be honest, Bai Ye knew he couldn't dodge Gyutaro's sickles, nor did he possess the ability to block such rapid attacks.
But...
So what?
Black sludge surged from Bai Ye's body. The Steel Slime transformed into the Aries Cloth.
Then...
*Clang, clang, clang!*
Bai Ye stood there, showing no intention of moving.
Gyutaro's sickles continuously struck the Aries Cloth, erupting in golden sparks that scattered outwards.
The result was that only some indentations were left on the Aries Cloth. Even worse, shortly after these indentations appeared, they quickly healed as the Steel Slime writhed.
A look of surprise appeared on Gyutaro's face, and his movements slowed by half a beat. It was at this moment...
Bai Ye extended his index finger and tapped Gyutaro's forehead.
Telekinesis!
*Bang!*
Gyutaro felt as if he had been struck on the head by a heavy object. He was instantly sent flying backward.
