"Come on!"
Bai Ye watched the Licker turn its body, a smirk pulling at his lips as he provocatively beckoned with a finger towards the Licker.
Roar!
Whether the Licker understood the taunt was unclear, but it was certainly enraged. It hissed in Bai Ye's direction, then powerfully pushed off its legs, lunging forward once more.
At that very moment, Bai Ye sharply twisted his waist, spinning around to the side of a metal shelf and then leaping up, crashing into it!
With a bang, the metal shelf was knocked over.
The Licker lifted its head, looking at the falling metal shelf. With no chance to dodge, it was directly smashed by the collapsing shelf, its body slammed to the ground.
Blood flowed from the Licker's back, and a faint scent of blood filled the air.
Yet, the Licker seemed oblivious. It continued to roar, its body slowly bulging as it tried to push the metal shelf away.
However, just as the metal shelf was lifted slightly, Bai Ye suddenly leaped up, landing on top of it.
With a clang, the metal shelf, which the Licker had just begun to lift, was smashed back down. Bai Ye then stepped on the shelf, approached the Licker, and held his handgun to its head.
"Say goodbye, oh, sorry, I forgot you can't speak human anymore."
Bang!
Bai Ye pulled the trigger, and a bloody hole appeared between the Licker's brows.
Bai Ye stood up, preparing to re-holster his handgun, but at this moment...
"Not bad, for someone from a lower world."
A voice suddenly spoke.
Bai Ye's expression tensed slightly. He spun around, raising his gun towards the doorway, but just as he turned, a silver glint flashed before him, striking his gun. Then, Bai Ye felt a sharp pain in his wrist as the handgun was knocked flying by the silver light.
A young man, clad in a white robe, with a jade belt and flowing long hair, strode in from the doorway.
"Someone from a martial world again?" Bai Ye watched as the silver light that had attacked him, now no longer shimmering, floated beside the man. It revealed itself to be a small sword, about half an arm's length long. With a look of realization, he said, "Someone from the cultivation world?"
"Liang Luo, disciple of Kunlun's Yuxu Hall."
Liang Luo spoke with his head held high, clearly proud of his origin. He then looked at Bai Ye and shook his head, "Never mind, what does it matter if I tell you? You, from a lower world, wouldn't understand anyway. You can't comprehend Kunlun's power. After all, you're just insignificant ants toiling away in the mortal realm."
The World Battlefield summoned chosen ones from different worlds. Different worlds, different civilizations, and different developments meant that some worlds had people who were better at combat and possessed higher combat abilities. Conversely, those from peaceful worlds would naturally be at a disadvantage upon entering the World Battlefield.
And worlds with cultivation civilizations clearly belonged to the combat-oriented type. Therefore, chosen ones from the cultivation world had always been arrogant, considering themselves from a higher world.
"Ha!" Bai Ye chuckled, looking at Liang Luo. "Indeed, ten years later, and it's still the same as ten years ago. You guys who come from the cultivation world are always so damn annoying!"
As Bai Ye spoke, his peripheral vision constantly scanned the side.
The moment his words fell, Bai Ye suddenly feigned a lunge to the side, as if to retrieve his handgun.
Clang!
Liang Luo acted, and the flying sword hovering beside him immediately shot out, striking the handgun on the ground and knocking it even further away.
"Trying to play tricks in front of me?" Liang Luo sneered. "You have no chance... Huh..."
After knocking the gun away, Liang Luo looked at Bai Ye, only to find that Bai Ye had merely put on a show and hadn't actually lunged. At the same time, a...
Gashapon machine!
Bai Ye had no intention of retrieving the handgun; he had merely used it to distract Liang Luo. He then seized the opportunity to pull out the gashapon machine.
With a "kacha, kacha" sound, the gashapon machine spun, and then a blue capsule rolled out.
Bai Ye twisted open the capsule, took out a card, and couldn't help but smile.
"Cultivation, huh?" Bai Ye laughed. "Then let's see who cultivates the immortal path better!"
Zzzzz!
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, a crackling sound of electricity surged.
The next instant, the surrounding fluorescent lights began to flicker, dimming and brightening erratically.
A cerulean current suddenly appeared, shooting forward and grazing Liang Luo's cheek before striking the wall behind him.
BOOM!
The wall let out a loud roar, and a metal plate was directly blasted to smithereens, falling from the wall.
Liang Luo was stunned speechless, fear dawning in his eyes as he looked at Bai Ye. He stammered, "Is that... Shocking Thunder Flash? Are you a disciple of Shu Mountain?"
Shocking Thunder Flash? Shu Mountain disciple?
He didn't even know which way Shu Mountain's gate was!
That sudden surge of electricity was entirely due to...
Bai Ye slowly turned the card in his hand, which clearly read: Thunder God Aid Me!
What Bai Ye had gotten from the gashapon machine this time was the ability to attract lightning and control electricity.
The next instant, Bai Ye thrust his hand forward. Cerulean currents danced at his fingertips, forming a line before shooting towards Liang Luo once more.
Zzzzz!
The ear-piercing sound of surging electricity reappeared.
Seeing the incoming current, Liang Luo lost his previous arrogance, his eyes filled with terror. He weakly formed a sword finger, and the small sword hovering beside him turned into a silver glint once more, flying forward.
But...
It was useless!
BOOM!
The silver light collided with the current, letting out a deafening roar. Immediately after, Liang Luo, sword and all, was blasted backward, crashing hard against the wall, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Looking up, he saw Bai Ye, enveloped in crackling electricity, advancing again. Liang Luo frantically scrambled to his feet and bolted towards the doorway, attempting to escape.
Bai Ye didn't rush to pursue. Watching Liang Luo flee, he let out a cold laugh and slammed his fist into the wall beside him.
Zzzzz!
The crackling sound of electricity returned, and large amounts of current, like liquid, spread outwards from Bai Ye's body, quickly covering the entire wall.
Simultaneously, the lights in the corridor began to flicker erratically, constantly flashing.
Liang Luo ran forward as if mad, but at this moment, a wave of electricity rapidly swept down from the ceiling and descended upon him.
"Ah!"
In the corridor, a mournful scream instantly erupted.
