Bai Ye looked at the blood on the ground and sneered again, "You're dying!"
Yin Hu gritted his teeth and remained silent, knowing that Bai Ye was deliberately trying to influence his emotions. The best course of action was to not respond, to act as if he hadn't heard anything.
Bang!
Enduring the bone-chilling cold that coursed through his body, Yin Hu leaped towards Bai Ye once more, intending to kill him.
However, the moment he reached Bai Ye, the Tyrannomon suddenly twisted its body, and its massive tail swung towards Yin Hu.
Bang!
Yin Hu raised his mechanical arm, taking the full force of the Tyrannomon's tail strike, and then…
A mechanical whirring sound suddenly erupted. Blades sprang out from the edge of the mechanical arm.
With a squelch!
The Tyrannomon's tail was sliced open, blood spraying out and splattering onto the ground.
Bai Ye's pupils constricted. Watching the Tyrannomon recoil in pain, his expression grew grim.
"It seems you want to die faster!" Bai Ye took a deep breath and charged forward. "I'll grant your wish!"
Bai Ye bent his legs slightly and dashed forward, heading straight for Yin Hu.
As he ran, Bai Ye pulled out a deck of playing cards and scattered them forward. Countless cards flew into the air, drifting apart.
But in the next instant, the Paper God ability activated. The playing cards suddenly hovered in mid-air, then, like sharp blades, they rained down relentlessly.
Yin Hu quickly brought his mechanical arm across his chest. A ring of metal discs suddenly shot out from the front of his arm, forming a circle and transforming into a shield.
Clang, clang, clang…
The playing cards struck the shield repeatedly, making crisp ringing sounds.
Then…
Bai Ye leaped into the air and stomped fiercely on the shield, forcing Yin Hu backward.
Yin Hu steadied himself and immediately raised his mechanical arm, preparing to fire. But at that moment, a strange sound came from within the mechanical arm. After a tremor, it failed to emit an energy sphere as expected.
"So that's how it is…" Bai Ye chuckled. "It's a defective product, isn't it? Let me guess, this should be a complete set of mechanical armor, but you only managed to get one arm?"
Yin Hu's face turned ugly, and Bai Ye knew he had guessed correctly.
High-tech weapons from the future were not easily obtained. While not entirely impossible, it was generally difficult, not just because their origin was unknown, but also because they were dangerous and few dared to attempt to acquire them.
However, a defective product was a different matter. Of course, even obtaining a defective one was quite an achievement. But since it was incomplete, it naturally had its flaws.
So…
Strike while the iron is hot!
Bai Ye winked at the Tyrannomon.
The Tyrannomon was indeed intelligent; a single glance exchanged was enough for it to understand what Bai Ye wanted.
Roar!
In the next instant, the Tyrannomon threw its head back and let out a long roar. From its gaping maw, a torrent of flames suddenly appeared.
Super Flame!
Accompanying the Tyrannomon's roar, a vast expanse of flames was spewed forth. In an instant, it formed a sea of fire that surged forward. The swirling flames rose like waves, layer upon layer, cresting and overlapping.
Yin Hu dared not confront it directly. Flames were not something that could be blocked by a mere shield.
But as Yin Hu attempted to retreat from the area covered by the flames…
"Fire Curse!"
Bai Ye formed a Dao talisman in his hand and pressed it forward in the air. Immediately after…
Boom!
The flames in the sea of fire exploded. The immense blast wave sent Yin Hu flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Seizing the opportunity, Bai Ye attacked, swiftly closing the distance to Yin Hu.
Yin Hu hastily raised his shield.
Clang!
Bai Ye's palm struck directly against the shield.
Feeling the force transmitted through the shield, Yin Hu breathed a sigh of relief. In terms of strength, he had no fear of Bai Ye, even with Bai Ye's T-virus-enhanced body, it was no match for Yin Hu.
What Yin Hu feared was the chilling energy of the Xuanming Divine Palm. Once it entered the body, it was incredibly painful. At this very moment, Yin Hu felt as if his internal organs were frozen solid, an immense agony.
But the shield blocked Bai Ye's palm. As long as their bodies didn't make direct contact…
"You thought you could avoid the cold energy by not being touched?"
Bai Ye's voice echoed leisurely.
Yin Hu instantly startled, then looked at his shield. Frost had already covered its surface. Immediately after, a chill wafted out, bypassed the shield, and coiled around Yin Hu's arm.
In a flash, Yin Hu's arm turned bluish-purple, showing signs of frostbite.
"Urgh…"
Feeling the pain, Yin Hu retreated continuously, clutching his elbow, attempting to prevent the cold energy from spreading further upward.
But at this very moment…
Squelch!
A streak of silver sword light suddenly appeared behind Yin Hu and struck down.
Accompanied by Yin Hu's scream, a sound of tearing flesh and blood rang out. Yin Hu's arm, clad in mechanical armor, flew through the air.
Bai Ye casually extended his hand, and the Frost Condensing Sword flew back to his side.
"There!" Bai Ye said to Yin Hu, "Your last resort is gone now, isn't it?"
Yin Hu gritted his teeth, panting heavily against the wall behind him.
"It seems you truly have no more tricks," Bai Ye said, gripping the Frost Condensing Sword. "Then die!"
Swoosh!
Bai Ye swept the Frost Condensing Sword forward forcefully, a blood line appearing as it grazed Yin Hu's neck.
In the next moment, Bai Ye turned and walked away.
Yin Hu's body slid down the wall and onto the ground. Simultaneously, his special ability failed, and his once robust body rapidly shriveled, quickly reverting to its normal human form. Then…
He breathed his last!
1:41 AM, Yin Hu, deceased!
…
With Yin Hu's elimination, six participants remained out of the twelve in the Grand Competition, exactly half. The end was drawing nearer.
However, this was not what made Bai Ye happiest. What made Bai Ye even happier was…
"You have eliminated a participant (Supernatural World)."
"You have obtained a Fragment of the God Stone."
Finally, a Fragment of the God Stone!
Those who could participate in the Grand Competition were the top twelve individuals who had completed the forbidden zone missions. This meant that every participant undoubtedly possessed a Fragment of the God Stone.
And then…
You Rooster, Snake, Sheep…
He had killed three people and hadn't obtained a single Fragment of the God Stone. Bai Ye's sanity was about to break. Although his luck with the gacha today was quite good, it couldn't be at the expense of all other aspects of his luck!
Fortunately, this fellow Yin Hu was supportive, finally allowing Bai Ye to see a Fragment of the God Stone.
"I hope the next opponents will be just as supportive,"
Bai Ye thought gleefully, when at that very moment…
Rumble!
Suddenly, in the silent night, a deafening roar erupted.
…
