Clang!
The female ghost’s claw struck the Dragon’s Roar with a crisp sound.
The next moment, after batting away the Dragon’s Roar, the female ghost turned and ran.
“What the heck, hey, are you a ghost, running away when you see people? Have you no dignity?”
Bai Ye rapidly pursued, gun in hand, kicking open the bathroom door. He raised his gun, aimed briefly, and pulled the trigger.
With a bang, five energy beams shot out, missing their target.
This was the weakness of the Dragon’s Roar, no, to be precise, the weakness of a shotgun. While its maximum range wasn't short, its effective range was about ten meters. Beyond that, the five energy beams would continuously spread out, making it harder to hit the center.
Thus, Bai Ye could only watch as the five energy beams scattered in all directions!
“Something’s not right!”
Bai Ye’s heart sank. The energy beams should have hit the walls and brought them down, not dissipated into thin air.
Bai Ye immediately looked back. The bathroom was gone, the corridor outside the bathroom was gone, and the hall of mirrors was also gone.
Everything around him quickly blurred and vanished like an illusion. The hall of mirrors building was now ten meters away.
Cold sweat beaded on Bai Ye’s forehead. He instantly understood.
He had been tricked.
The female ghost had used illusions to lure him out of the building… into the open.
A Regulator!
Clang, clang, clang!
The crisp sound of dragging chains echoed. Bai Ye didn’t need to turn to know it was the Deer Head.
Bai Ye quickly leaped to the side.
The next instant, a gust of wind swept past, and a massive iron hook flew by Bai Ye’s side, striking a nearby street lamp and snapping it.
“Lightning Spell!”
Bai Ye rolled up from the ground, and as he half-crouched, a talisman appeared in his fingertip.
A thunderous roar erupted, followed by a bolt of lightning that streaked across the sky, striking the Deer Head.
After the lightning hit, the Deer Head staggered but quickly straightened up. Ignoring the crackling electricity, it continued to advance on Bai Ye with heavy strides.
“Forgot regulators don't count as ghosts.”
Bai Ye got up, moving to the side, and raised the Dragon’s Roar to shoot at the Deer Head. But at that moment, the Deer Head suddenly swung its hand, yanking back the iron hook that had flown out earlier.
Bai Ye quickly turned and raised his hand.
“Hexagonal Mirror Shield!”
The Hexagonal Mirror Shield quickly materialized, and Bai Ye grasped it in his hand.
Then…
*Clang!*
The returning iron hook slammed into the Hexagonal Mirror Shield with a deafening clang.
The immense force pushed the shield back, forcing Bai Ye to grit his teeth and retreat.
*Crack!*
The Hexagonal Mirror Shield, unable to withstand the strain, showed a crack and then shattered completely.
Bai Ye swiftly leaped to the side again, simultaneously forming a sword incantation.
“Frost Condensation, Ice Barrier!”
The Frost Condensation sword appeared behind Bai Ye and, upon landing, a wall of ice erupted from the ground.
The Deer Head retracted its iron hook, swinging the chain as it approached. With a powerful smash, the ice wall instantly disintegrated.
However, Bai Ye was no longer behind the ice wall. The moment it rose, Bai Ye had already sprinted forward.
Regulators had nothing to do with forbidden zone missions and were incredibly troublesome. Fighting them yielded no benefit. Therefore, Bai Ye naturally chose to make a swift escape.
However, the Deer Head clearly had no intention of letting Bai Ye go. It yanked the chain, swung the hook, and then flung it forward.
Bai Ye heard the clanging sound behind him and quickly ducked his head. The hook flew over his head and hooked onto a derelict chair in front of him.
The next instant, the chain tightened. Instead of yanking the chair away, the Deer Head’s body was propelled forward with terrifying speed as the chain was pulled taut.
This move caught Bai Ye completely by surprise. By the time he reacted, the Deer Head was already in front of him.
*Bang!*
Bai Ye collided head-on with the Deer Head. In that instant, Bai Ye felt as if he had been hit by a truck, sent flying two meters and crashing hard onto the ground.
Bai Ye grimaced in pain, but after twisting his body, he realized it was only a surface wound, and the pain would subside.
Thanks to the T-virus!
Long live the zombies!
Bai Ye felt like shouting this, for although the Deer Head was terrifyingly strong, his T-virus-enhanced body was equally formidable.
Meanwhile…
After regaining its footing, the Deer Head roared and yanked hard on the chain.
The rusty chair instantly flew up and crashed down towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye quickly rolled on the ground. The chair smashed into the spot where he had just been lying, shattering into pieces.
Having dodged the attack, Bai Ye sprang to his feet with a powerful surge. Pointing at the Deer Head, he declared, “Enough! If you attack me again, I’ll fight back…”
*Bang!*
Before Bai Ye could finish speaking, his nose was met with a punch from the Deer Head.
Bai Ye’s eyes teared up from the pain. Backing away, he raised the Dragon’s Roar with one hand.
The Deer Head reacted with extreme speed. The moment Bai Ye raised his gun, it swept the iron hook forward!
*Clang!*
*Boom!*
The first sound was the iron hook hitting the Dragon’s Roar, and the second was Bai Ye pulling the trigger, five energy beams shattering the ground to his side.
Neither gained an advantage in this exchange. Immediately after, Bai Ye and the Deer Head simultaneously kicked forward.
*Bang, bang!*
Both struck each other in the abdomen and then retreated.
It appeared to be a draw, but Bai Ye felt he was at a disadvantage. That kick truly hurt, making him feel nauseous. Looking at the Deer Head, although it was also kicked back, it quickly stabilized and advanced on Bai Ye again.
This guy simply didn’t feel pain!
Perhaps Bai Ye’s strength and speed were comparable to the Deer Head’s, but in terms of resilience, Bai Ye was clearly at a disadvantage.
However, with this relentless opponent, what else could he do?
He had to fight!
Seeing the Deer Head raise its iron hook, Bai Ye quickly raised his arm.
“Hexagonal Mirror Shield!”
*Clang!*
Bai Ye raised his shield to block the iron hook, then unleashed a deadly leg sweep towards the Deer Head’s lower body.
“I don’t believe you won’t feel this!”
Then…
It turned out the Deer Head’s resilience was also remarkable. After taking the kick, it showed no reaction. Then, with a downward thrust of its shoulder, it directly impaled Bai Ye’s Hexagonal Mirror Shield.
With a *crash*, the Hexagonal Mirror Shield shattered instantly, and Bai Ye was pushed back half a step.
