Bai Ye remained with his hands in his pockets, looking leisurely.
Yi Mi’s strength had indeed exceeded Bai Ye’s imagination, but exceeding imagination did not mean Yi Mi was Bai Ye’s match.
Bai Ye said, “Since you’re not going to tell me what your mission is, I guess I’ll have to resort to a permanent solution.”
Killing him would naturally be a permanent solution.
Whether it was an enemy or an ally, killing them meant the end of it.
Yi Mi said, “I’m confident I can stall for another half hour.”
Bai Ye froze for a moment, then chuckled, “Finally willing to speak?”
Yi Mi ignored Bai Ye’s taunt and continued, “In half an hour, everyone with you will be dead. What about your mission completion rate?”
Bai Ye’s pupils contracted. This guy really knew something. At least he seemed to understand Bai Ye’s mission, otherwise, how would he know about the “completion rate”?
And taking advantage of Bai Ye’s momentary lapse, Yi Mi suddenly roared and swung his blood blade forward again.
As the blood blade slashed forward, it exploded before it even touched Bai Ye.
A large cloud of blood mist spread forward, obscuring Bai Ye’s vision.
Bai Ye waved his hand to clear the blood mist in front of him, intending to pursue Yi Mi. But at this moment…
“If you chase me, those people will all die.”
“Trying to fool me?” Bai Ye cursed, “Do you think I was raised on lies…”
Boom!
Before Bai Ye could finish speaking, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded from a distance.
As Bai Ye turned his head to locate the sound, a column of smoke shot up into the sky, slowly dispersing and forming a mushroom shape.
“You wait for me!”
Bai Ye watched Yi Mi escape, cursing with unwillingness.
However…
Allen’s side absolutely could not afford to have any trouble. Otherwise, even killing Yi Mi would be meaningless. His hidden mission would be ruined. If his hidden mission was ruined, he wouldn’t be able to get the wish mission later. If he couldn’t get the wish mission, what was the point of coming to this godforsaken place?
Bai Ye’s thoughts raced, and he finally had to admit he was being manipulated. His body then quickly transformed into a bolt of lightning and left.
No matter what, the mission was the most important thing.
Yi Mi?
No hurry!
As long as this guy was still in the mirror world and intended to cause trouble, Bai Ye didn’t believe he could keep escaping. He would eventually fall into his hands.
Moments later, after a flash of lightning, Bai Ye returned near the abandoned factory.
The factory had already been blown to ruins.
A hint of anxiety appeared in Bai Ye’s eyes. From the current situation, the magic array patterns were likely not Yi Mi’s doing.
Firstly, in his previous life, Bai Ye had never heard of Yi Mi using magic.
Secondly, even if his memory was flawed and Yi Mi might have learned magic in this life, he hadn’t used it when fighting Bai Ye.
How could someone capable of creating magic array patterns of that caliber not use it during a fight?
And this was naturally not good news for Bai Ye. If Yi Mi had stalled Bai Ye while someone else did something to Allen and the others, Bai Ye’s mission would truly be over.
Bai Ye thought as he surveyed the surroundings, searching for traces of others.
Just then…
Boom!
Another explosion sounded, sending large clouds of dust scattering.
Bai Ye immediately turned his head, his body transforming into flames again as he headed towards the source of the booming sound.
A moment later, as Bai Ye reappeared from the lightning, he saw Allen leading the charge against a monster engulfed in flames.
The monster had a humanoid silhouette, its entire body burning with fire, with dark magical patterns crisscrossing its form. A circular magic array pattern at its feet moved with the humanoid silhouette.
“Isn’t this a Fire Spirit!”
Bai Ye recognized the monster in front of him.
Summoning Magic—Fire Spirit Summon!
This was a growth-type magic. It started as black quality, but with proficiency, it could grow into golden quality summoning magic. The summoned Fire Spirit naturally increased in strength according to the quality.
The guy with Yi Mi was not bad either!
This kind of summoning magic that could grow to golden quality was not easy to obtain.
Bai Ye thought as he pressed his palms forward.
Thunderclap Violet Lightning and Blazing Phoenix Flying Fire transformed into lightning and fire, striking hard on the Fire Spirit’s back.
Boom!
The moment they collided, an explosive roar erupted.
A massive fireball instantly detonated.
The Fire Spirit’s body was blown to smithereens, and a terrifying shockwave rippled outwards, scattering the flames.
However, after the flames traveled seven or eight meters, they bizarrely suspended in mid-air, then rapidly converged, reforming into the shape of the Fire Spirit!
The lightning fire had a certain destructive effect on the Fire Spirit, but not a significant one!
Mainly Blazing Phoenix Flying Fire. Trying to shatter fire with fire was obviously an unreliable endeavor.
However, after its body was shattered once, the Fire Spirit was clearly displeased. It suddenly turned its head, looking in Bai Ye’s direction, and extended its palm.
Bang, bang, bang…
Explosive sounds echoed from the Fire Spirit’s palm, and then huge fireballs shot out from its palm, flying towards Bai Ye.
Allen, while firing his gun at the Fire Spirit, shouted towards Bai Ye, “Careful!”
Bai Ye heard Allen’s shout but showed no intention of dodging. He reached out and condensed a Thunderfang Savage Beast from the Steel Slime, then slashed forward.
A black sword aura flashed, and the incoming fireballs were split in half by Bai Ye’s single sword strike, exploding in mid-air.
Heat waves surged, and flames billowed.
Amidst the rolling black smoke, Bai Ye leaped out and slashed again with the Thunderfang Savage Beast in his hand.
Thunderfang (releases electricity from the blade, capable of aerial slashes, can also wrap around the blade for reinforcement, and can be combined with any lightning effects).
Zzzzt!
A crisp electric crackle sounded!
As Bai Ye unleashed his sword strike, arcs of electricity danced on the Thunderfang Savage Beast, transforming into a massive lightning blade that swept forward.
Boom, boom, boom…
As the lightning blade swept past, the fireballs released by the Fire Spirit were detonated one after another, and then…
With a *puff*!
The lightning blade struck the Fire Spirit’s chest, cleaving its body in two!
However, it only lasted for an instant.
Sparks flew from the cleaved body, and then they attracted each other, slowly fusing together again. Soon, the Fire Spirit’s body was restored.
“Tsk!”
Bai Ye winced. He finally understood how troublesome his Rumble-Rumble Fruit’s elementalization was.
Many people facing him must have felt the same way he felt facing the Fire Spirit right now.
Just then…
Because of Bai Ye, Allen finally found an opening. Following a nod from Allen, Gonzales quickly ran to a nearby pile of weapon crates and pulled out a large one.
Gonzales’s eyes lit up as he shouted to Allen, “Found it!”
