Bai Ye finished speaking, lowered the car window, and then leaned his body out of the window, climbing onto the roof of the car.
Kneeling on the roof, Bai Ye tapped the window again, signaling to Kirishima Ayato to drive the car forward.
As the huge wire mesh gate grew closer, Bai Ye took a deep breath.
*Zzzzzzt!*
In an instant, large amounts of electricity appeared on Bai Ye's body, coiling around him, dancing with delight.
Under the night, the azure current was exceptionally dazzling.
Then…
"Raiju!"
Bai Ye roared.
The current that had been coiling around him erupted, shooting forward.
Soon, lightning illuminated all directions.
Countless arcs of electricity converged, and within the light, a colossal azure beast, like a lion or a tiger, materialized. Upon landing, it charged forward.
*Bang, bang, bang…*
As the giant lightning beast ran, its four paws struck the ground. Each step caused large arcs of electricity to explode, simultaneously shattering the ground.
At the same time…
The Ghoul Containment Facility heard the tremendous commotion, and the guards immediately gathered at the entrance.
They saw the giant lightning beast and were instantly stunned.
Someone reacted first, shouting, "Open fire!"
The guards snapped to attention, raising their weapons and firing forward.
But…
It was useless!
Bai Ye's lightning beast was unaffected by gunfire. When bullets struck its body, they passed straight through.
Then…
*ROAR!*
The giant lightning beast charged into the crowd, and its lightning erupted.
The surrounding guards screamed, convulsing in the electric glow.
By the time the lightning dissipated, the guards had become charred corpses, lying on the ground.
The lightning beast did not stop. It leaped forward, its massive claws descending.
*CRASH!*
The moment its claws hit the ground, large arcs of electricity shattered.
With a deafening roar, the ground was pulverized, and the resulting shockwave sent those nearby flying.
It was like walking through an empty land!
Bai Ye tapped the window. "Accelerate!"
Kirishima Ayato immediately floored the accelerator and sped forward.
*CLANG!*
The car slammed into the wire mesh gate, knocking it down as they burst through.
Before the building lay a compound, with guards arriving from all directions, firing their weapons to impede the car's progress.
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, standing on the car roof, and extended his hand in a pressing motion.
"Raichin!"
*Zzzzzzt!*
A piercing electrical hum sounded.
(Raichin: A supersonic shockwave generated by the rapid displacement of air by lightning, repelling incoming attacks.)
Accompanied by the current spreading outwards, it took form, pushing outwards from Bai Ye's center.
Almost instantly, the incoming bullets seemed to hit an invisible wall and then deflected.
Among the guards, individuals were hit by their own bullets and fell to the ground.
Seeing the vehicle was unstoppable, a figure suddenly lunged from the side. Unlike the ordinary guards, this one wore the uniform of a Ghoul Investigator.
Wielding a Quinque that was a colossal three-meter-long greatsword, it swept towards the car.
Kirishima Ayato immediately opened the car door and leaped out, rolling several times with a handspring.
On the car roof, electricity surged around Bai Ye. In the next moment, he flickered and reappeared five meters away.
*BOOM!*
As the two of them evaded, the greatsword cleaved into the front of the car, splitting it in half. The car, subjected to immense force, flipped over and crashed into a truck.
*CLANG!*
The enormous truck overturned with a loud crash. Its container ruptured, and a large number of ghouls crawled out.
The other two trucks also stopped immediately. As their container doors opened, ghouls began to leap out one by one.
Meanwhile, Kirishima Ayato’s ukaku, resembling wings, spread out behind him, but Bai Ye stood in front of him.
"Didn't you want to see my strength?" Bai Ye clenched his fist and said. "This one is mine. You take the people into the Ghoul Containment Facility first."
Kirishima Ayato hesitated, then nodded, signaling for the others to follow him forward.
Bai Ye blocked the Ghoul Investigator for a simple reason: he was accustomed to fighting alone and had no intention of following Aogiri Tree.
Furthermore, he didn't know when the restricted zone would open. Once it did, Bai Ye would surely pursue the mission in the zone, and being alone would be more convenient.
"Of course…" Bai Ye looked at the Ghoul Investigator holding the massive greatsword. "Troublesome guys must be dealt with first."
As he spoke, Bai Ye beckoned to the Ghoul Investigator.
The Ghoul Investigator was not provoked and immediately leveled his greatsword, charging towards Bai Ye.
At a distance of two to three meters, the opponent suddenly leaped up, raising his greatsword and bringing it down towards Bai Ye.
Then…
*Zzzzt!* Bai Ye's figure suddenly vanished. He reappeared behind the Ghoul Investigator.
In Bai Ye's hand, the Steel Slime quickly writhed, solidifying into Raiya Nuju.
*Splat!*
Bai Ye swung his sword backward, slashing across the opponent's back and drawing blood.
Blood splattered onto the ground.
The Ghoul Investigator gritted his teeth in pain and swung his greatsword backward. Just as it was about to strike Bai Ye, his figure vanished again.
This time, Bai Ye appeared beside the Ghoul Investigator, and his Raiya Nuju pierced into the opponent's waist.
*Drip, drip!*
Blood trickled down the blade and onto the ground.
Bai Ye said, "Considering giving up? It might make things easier for you."
The Ghoul Investigator remained silent, holding his greatsword in one hand and clenching his fist, which he threw at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye sidestepped, and the punch grazed his cheek.
In the next instant, Bai Ye extended his index finger and touched the Ghoul Investigator's forehead.
*Zzzzt!*
Large amounts of electricity instantly flowed from Bai Ye's fingertip, engulfing the Ghoul Investigator's body.
"Ah!"
Under the violent electric shock, the Ghoul Investigator screamed out.
Moments later, Bai Ye removed his finger from the opponent's forehead, and the surrounding electricity dissipated.
The Ghoul Investigator's body was completely charred, and a burning smell could be clearly detected.
Then…
*Clang!*
The massive greatsword fell to the ground with a crisp sound. The Ghoul Investigator's body went limp and crashed to the ground.
…
