Bai Ye saw the silver moon hanging high in the sky and knew someone was about to play a dirty trick again!
Just as Bai Ye was thinking this, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind him.
Bai Ye decisively leaped to the side and saw a pair of sun wheels smash into the ground, shattering a section of the earth!
Li Jia Yi had arrived! 138 Reading Network
Watching the sun wheels on the ground float up again, Bai Ye quickly scanned his surroundings but couldn't find Li Jia Yi's figure.
The Sun and Moon Double Wheels were similar to flying swords, controlled by mental power. They could be held as weapons or used for mid-to-long range attacks.
Li Jia Yi was clearly skilled at playing the "old six" (underhanded tactics), not showing himself but hiding in a corner, controlling the Sun and Moon Double Wheels to attack.
Bai Ye scanned his surroundings but couldn't find Li Jia Yi.
Bai Ye felt so unlucky. He just wanted to play the "old six," but not only did he fail to do so, he was also being ambushed by two "old sixes" in turns.
While Bai Ye was searching for Li Jia Yi, the Sun and Moon Double Wheels descended from the sky once more.
One from the left, one from the right, they spun and closed in on Bai Ye from both sides.
Bai Ye immediately raised his sword, and the Frost Repelling Sword slashed out left and right, colliding with the Sun and Moon Double Wheels.
Clang, clang!
A crisp clanging sound echoed.
After repelling the Sun and Moon Double Wheels, Bai Ye suddenly bent his waist, holding his sword and galloping rapidly forward along the street.
The Sun and Moon Double Wheels pursued relentlessly, sticking close to Bai Ye, and then slashed down at him.
"Earth Curse!"
As Bai Ye ran, he conjured a talisman in his hand, and a wall of earth suddenly rose from the ground, blocking behind him.
Boom!
A roaring sound erupted as the Sun and Moon Double Wheels fell, smashing the earth wall to pieces.
Amidst the flying debris, Bai Ye's gaze was not on the Sun and Moon Double Wheels but on the surrounding buildings.
To change his passive situation, he first needed to find Li Jia Yi.
Although the Sun and Moon Double Wheels could be remotely controlled by mental power, they were not without range limitations. Therefore, if Bai Ye kept running, Li Jia Yi would inevitably have to move to keep up with the wheels pursuing Bai Ye.
Suddenly, Bai Ye spotted a shadow flitting past the window of a building to his side.
Bai Ye grinned, took out a deck of poker cards, and said, "Found you!"
Bai Ye flicked his wrist, unleashing a flurry of poker cards that flew towards the window, shattering it with a swish.
Li Jia Yi, leaning by the window, was startled. Had he been discovered?
The next moment, Li Jia Yi found he had no time to worry about whether he was discovered.
The poker cards, after shattering the window, spun around inside the room and then flew back towards the window.
Li Jia Yi quickly grabbed a nearby wardrobe and used it as a shield.
Bang, bang, bang...
The poker cards continuously hit the wardrobe, shattering it, piercing through it.
Seeing this, Li Jia Yi decisively stepped onto the windowsill and leaped out the window. Upon landing, he braced himself with one palm on the ground and rolled forward to dissipate the impact.
Bai Ye strode forward with a smile, his wrist twisting and turning. The Frost Repelling Sword, like a silver snake, unfurled streaks of silver sword flowers.
"Old friend, you've finally decided to show yourself." Bai Ye licked his lips and grinned at Li Jia Yi, "How about we cooperate again?"
Li Jia Yi pouted, "How do you want to cooperate?"
"With our synergy and strength, if we team up, taking down the others won't be a problem, right?" Bai Ye smiled, "The Dragon and Snake pairing, a perfect match!"
Li Jia Yi's zodiac identity was the Snake.
Li Jia Yi sneered, "After we take everyone down, you'll take me down, right?"
Bai Ye replied, "That would be a perfect ending, wouldn't it?"
Li Jia Yi shrugged, then waved his hand. The Sun and Moon Double Wheels simultaneously slashed towards Bai Ye, while Li Jia Yi...
Turned and ran!
Li Jia Yi didn't fully know Bai Ye's strength, but he certainly knew it better than others, having witnessed it in the Death Amusement Park.
Being an "old six" was one thing, but a head-on confrontation...
He couldn't win!
So, Li Jia Yi was decisive. If he couldn't win, he'd run. For the sake of survival, there was no shame in it.
Bai Ye shook his head, "You've truly disappointed me. I genuinely wanted to cooperate with you, old friend..."
As Bai Ye spoke, he slightly lowered his stance, resting the Frost Repelling Sword at his waist, and then...
Bang!
Bai Ye surged forward, his Frost Repelling Sword in a drawing stance, and swept it, simultaneously repelling the Sun and Moon Double Wheels and chasing after Li Jia Yi.
Li Jia Yi looked back and was startled. Such speed!
Bai Ye's speed was even faster than when they were in the Death Amusement Park!
Li Jia Yi was amazed that Bai Ye had improved so much in such a short time. However, Li Jia Yi had misunderstood this time.
Bai Ye's speed increase was entirely due to the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu style.
The core of the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu style was speed!
The combat method of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu was to use extremely fast movement to constantly find or create weaknesses in the target while moving, and then use extremely fast sword strikes to defeat the opponent before they could react, by exploiting their weaknesses.
Therefore, when using Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu, a divine speed effect would be triggered, increasing both movement and sword drawing speed.
Within twenty meters, Bai Ye easily caught up to Li Jia Yi. The moment he was beside him, he drew his sword and slashed horizontally at Li Jia Yi.
The sword was incredibly fast, but Li Jia Yi's reaction was not slow. He forcibly stopped his steps and leaned backward.
The sword light flashed, sweeping past Li Jia Yi's chest!
"I've already seen through your swordsmanship. Before every draw, you need to adopt a drawing stance, right?" Li Jia Yi sneered, "So, as long as I dodge when you adopt that stance, I can avoid it."
Bai Ye smiled, "Is that so?"
Riiip!
The moment Bai Ye spoke, a tear appeared on the front of Li Jia Yi's shirt.
Li Jia Yi froze for a moment, then his face paled in alarm.
"Did you think that dodging in advance would guarantee you could avoid it?" Bai Ye lowered his stance again, adopting the drawing stance, "The next strike will be for your throat!"
Bang!
Bai Ye's bent legs forcefully straightened, and he shot forward, instantly closing the distance and attacking Li Jia Yi.
"Sun and Moon Double Wheels!"
Li Jia Yi shouted, and the Sun and Moon Double Wheels, which had just flown back from behind, spun rapidly and descended towards Bai Ye.
Clang!
A crisp metal clang echoed!
