Jin Sha said nothing superfluous, quickly pulled Alex and headed for the door.
But, the moment they stepped out…
Bang!
Jin Sha felt a heavy blow to the head, sent flying by a punch, landing on the ground with stars in her eyes, a gash on her forehead bleeding.
"Go with me!"
A burly man in a tank top grabbed Alex by the shoulder, motioning him into a car parked nearby.
Alex didn't mind, shrugging and walking towards the car.
As long as he could leave this city, as for who rescued him…
Did it make any difference to Alex?
Jin Sha gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, shouting, "Stop!"
The burly man turned back, aiming a submachine gun at Jin Sha and opening fire.
Jin Sha reacted quickly, diving to the side and taking cover behind a car, then tossing out a beast-taming sphere.
"Butterfree, guard!"
A flash of white light, and a mantis-like beast appeared. Facing the barrage of gunfire, it continuously swung its scythes. Then, a series of clinks and clangs echoed as the bullets were completely blocked by Butterfree's scythes.
"Oh? So you're from the Beast Taming World? Speaking of which, I haven't gotten my first kill from a chosen one of the Beast Taming World yet. I really wanted to take you down here," the burly man said, pulling out a grenade and rolling it under the car. "But alas, I have more important things to do. I'll let you off the hook for now!"
Jin Sha heard the sound of the grenade rolling, quickly stood up, and sprinted forward, then executed a dive!
Boom!
The next instant, an explosion roared.
Accompanied by the blast, the entire car was lifted half a meter into the air before crashing heavily back down, erupting in flames.
On the other side, the burly man got into the car and sped away.
Jin Sha rolled to dissipate the force, then took out her plasma cannon to aim, but then remembered something and quickly put it away.
If she fired, the car and its occupant would be reduced to ashes. But the problem was that Alex would most likely turn to ashes too. Then, everyone would fail. No one could complete the mission, because Alex, if dead, would not count as having been delivered out of the city.
"Butterfree!" Jin Sha shouted, "Follow them!"
Butterfree nodded, unfurled its insect wings, and quickly took to the air, chasing after the car.
Jin Sha then turned to Rattata and said, "Rattata, you wait for Bai Ye here!"
After saying that, Jin Sha quickly opened the door of a nearby car and drove away.
Meanwhile…
Bai Ye had been shooting for a while. Because it was pitch black all around, Bai Ye didn't know if he had hit anyone, so he stopped firing to listen for any movement.
But at this moment…
Bai Ye suddenly felt a flash of cold light sweep past him!
A katana blade grazed his chest, mere centimeters away. Immediately after, Bai Ye quickly grabbed the attacker's arm.
"Playing close combat with me?" Bai Ye grabbed the attacker by the collar and lifted him up. "Are you worthy?"
With his body reinforced by the T-virus and his physique strengthened by his abilities, Bai Ye was now extremely confident in his physical strength. With both layers combined, his attributes other than intelligence were all over a hundred. His physical fitness was ten times that of a normal adult human, so Bai Ye was not at all worried.
Then…
Bang!
After lifting the person, Bai Ye directly smashed him into a table nearby.
With a crash, the table instantly shattered into pieces.
The attacker, enduring the pain, got up and darted to the side, trying to disappear back into the darkness.
Bai Ye snorted coldly and raised his fist, shouting, "Phoenix, Blazing Flame!"
Flames wrapped around Bai Ye's arm. With a punch, it transformed into a column of fire.
As the column of fire shot forward, many areas of the bar began to ignite. Besides the wooden tables and chairs, the strong liquor also contributed to the blaze.
With the light of the fire illuminating the surroundings, Bai Ye finally saw the attacker's appearance.
"A ninja?"
It was a lean, somewhat short man, entirely clad in black, form-fitting attire. He wore a hood, revealing only his eyes. In his hand was a gleaming, sharp katana.
Seeing that he could no longer escape into the darkness, the ninja immediately turned and lunged at Bai Ye with his sword raised.
As the attacker lunged, Bai Ye flicked his wrist, and a playing card fell into his palm, shooting forward.
The ninja's reaction was extremely fast. He brought his katana horizontally in front of him, deflecting the playing card.
But…
Taking advantage of the moment the attacker was blocking the card, Bai Ye suddenly lunged forward.
"Still as the forest, but as swift as a rabbit!"
Bai Ye darted to the attacker's side and delivered a kick to his chest, sending him flying again. Before the attacker could get up, Bai Ye grabbed a round table from the side and slammed it down with force.
Bang!
The ninja quickly curled up his body and used his foot to brace the descending table, then thrust his katana upward.
The katana was no ordinary weapon. It easily pierced the tabletop, slicing past Bai Ye's cheek.
Bai Ye glanced at the blade near his face, then forcefully twisted the table. The ninja immediately felt a sharp pain in his wrist and involuntarily dropped the katana. Bai Ye then tossed the table aside, along with the ninja's sword.
Without his weapon, the attacker's bare-handed combat was no match for Bai Ye. After swatting away the attacker's arm, Bai Ye grabbed him by his clothes and dragged him to the wall, then…
Bang!
Bai Ye forcefully threw the man, slamming him hard against the wall.
After the impact, the ninja curled up in pain, but Bai Ye grabbed him by his clothes and lifted him up again.
"How did you find this place?" Bai Ye asked with a smile. "Did you follow the Royce family's car here?"
The ninja did not answer, struggling fiercely. Then…
A fierce look flashed in the ninja's eyes. He suddenly tore open the sleeve of his right arm, and a short dagger fell into his hand, stabbing towards Bai Ye's abdomen.
But, just as he was about to succeed…
Slap!
Bai Ye raised his hand and slapped the ninja across the face, leaving him dazed. The ninja's body swayed, and the direction of the dagger thrust naturally deviated, grazing Bai Ye's body.
Bai Ye stepped forward, and while the attacker was still disoriented, he grabbed the ninja's hood and forcefully dragged him to the wall, smashing him against it without hesitation!
Bang!
After a dull thud, the ninja lay on the ground, his face covered in blood.
The next moment, Bai Ye squatted down, grabbed the ninja's wrist, and twisted it, forcing the short dagger in the ninja's hand to stab towards his own chest.
