Rumble, rumble, rumble!
As the young man stomped his foot on the ground, a rumbling sound emerged, and a stone wall suddenly rose, blocking his path.
The bullets struck the stone wall, leaving a fist-sized indentation, but failed to penetrate it.
Bai Ye tilted his head and said, "Someone from the world of abilities?"
Bai Ye mumbled to himself as he loaded a grenade into the grenade launcher, and then…
Rumble!
The grenade landed beside the stone wall, and immediately, a deafening roar erupted. The stone wall was instantly blown to pieces, and the young man behind it was swept away by the blast wave. Upon landing, he was already covered in bloody wounds, his life or death uncertain.
Even the two men standing not far from the young man suffered misfortune, caught in the explosion and moaning on the ground.
However, by firing the grenade, Bai Ye's position was completely exposed.
"Over there!"
Someone shouted in Bai Ye's direction. Immediately, two men from the world of cultivation acted. They formed a sword seal with their hands and pointed towards Bai Ye, and two flying swords transformed into silver sword lights, streaking towards him.
Bai Ye did not hesitate. He picked up his sniper rifle and leaped down from the hilltop.
At that very instant…
Rumble!
The two sword lights struck the hilltop, followed by a thunderous explosion.
The hilltop was blasted to smithereens, and countless碎石 (suì shí - crushed stones) tumbled down the mountainside.
Simultaneously, Bai Ye landed on the ground, immediately discarded his sniper rifle, picked up his Aug assault rifle, and pulled the trigger.
Tch, tch, tch, tch, tch…
The muzzle spewed fire, and bullets poured out, sweeping forward.
Most people instinctively scrambled for cover, but the two men from the world of cultivation reacted swiftly. They quickly changed their sword seals, recalled their two flying swords, and made them circle their bodies.
Clang, clang, clang!
The next moment, crisp metallic sounds echoed as the sword lights continuously blocked the incoming bullets.
On the other side, a woman in her thirties' eyes gleamed. Faint ripples appeared in the air, and then, the bullets in front of the woman all stopped, as if grasped by an invisible giant hand.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a furious roar erupted.
Bai Ye looked in the direction of the sound. A burly man, holding a metal riot shield, charged towards Bai Ye through the bullets, intending to ram him.
Bai Ye's expression remained impassive. It seemed only these four were formidable opponents: two from the world of cultivation, one from the world of abilities, and the last one, though holding a riot shield, such equipment could be found on the world battlefield, so he couldn't determine which world the person was from.
As Bai Ye pondered, the gunfire abruptly ceased. His bullets had run out, and the gun was locked open. The burly man with the riot shield had already reached Bai Ye.
"Out of bullets?" The burly man grinned ferociously. "Then it's my turn!"
As he spoke, the burly man raised his riot shield and smashed it fiercely at Bai Ye.
Bang!
The riot shield struck Bai Ye's body with a muffled thud, seemingly hitting him squarely.
However, the burly man's heart sank.
The sensation of impact was wrong!
The burly man's muscles were bulging, his entire body appearing robust. Such a physique clearly indicated his confidence in his strength!
But the moment he collided with Bai Ye, the burly man felt as if he had slammed into a mountain. His pride in his strength was utterly useless. Bai Ye's legs seemed rooted to the ground, completely unmoving.
The next instant, Bai Ye reached out, grabbed the riot shield, and with a forceful pull, snatched it from the man's grip before casually tossing it aside.
"Sorry," Bai Ye said, looking at the man. "Besides guns, I also have my fists!"
Bang!
As he spoke, Bai Ye landed an uppercut to the burly man's chin.
Crack!
With just one punch, the burly man's jaw was pulverized. Bai Ye then swept his leg, striking the man's waist and sending him flying back to smash against the stone wall.
In a single exchange, Bai Ye had dealt with the burly man. But at this moment…
A gust of wind from behind Bai Ye alerted him!
Bai Ye turned his head to see the two men from the world of cultivation attacking him with their flying swords.
The sword wind was sharp, and the sword light whistled.
The two flying swords moved with incredible speed, one from above and one from below, one targeting Bai Ye's face and the other his lower body, making it difficult for him to dodge.
However, Bai Ye hadn't intended to dodge!
"Yin Yang Reversal!"
Bai Ye let out a low cry, then crossed his hands and extended them forward, drawing circles with his arms.
Instantly, an invisible airflow swirled around Bai Ye, forming a faint, rotating vortex that enveloped him.
When the two flying swords reached Bai Ye, they merely brushed against the vortex. Their momentum was instantly nullified, and they then drifted around Bai Ye, following the direction of the swirling airflow.
The two men from the world of cultivation were stunned. They couldn't believe their flying swords had suddenly lost contact with them.
And at this moment…
Bai Ye suddenly clasped his hands together and thrust his palms forward!
Bang!
The vortex surrounding Bai Ye's body suddenly exploded, and the two flying swords shot out at that instant.
Puff, puff!
The two men's eyes widened. They reached for their throats, but it was too late.
Blood holes appeared in their throats, and blood spurted out continuously, staining the surrounding bluestone tiles blood red.
Finally…
Thump, thump!
The two men staggered and fell forward, collapsing onto the ground.
Bai Ye turned and looked at the last woman from the world of abilities.
The woman curled her lips, looking at Bai Ye and saying, "I'm not as easy to kill as they were!"
The moment she finished speaking, a faint light emanated from her eyes.
Instantly, her eyes became incredibly cold and deep, like an unfathomable ancient well.
Then…
The woman strode towards Bai Ye.
"How is it?" The woman came up to Bai Ye and circled him. "Can't move, can you? This is my ability – Object Manipulation!"
As she spoke, the woman extended her finger and provocatively hooked Bai Ye's chin.
"Whether it's bullets or your body, it's all effective," the woman said proudly. "No man can escape my grasp…"
Before the woman could finish speaking, suddenly…
A large hand grabbed her throat!
