Rumble, rumble, rumble!
With a stomp of the young man's foot, a booming sound erupted, and a stone wall suddenly rose up, blocking the young man.
The bullets struck the stone wall, leaving fist-sized craters, but failing to penetrate it.
Bai Ye tilted his head and said, "Someone from the superpower world?"
Bai Ye murmured as he loaded a grenade into the grenade launcher, and then...
Rumble!
The grenade landed beside the stone wall, followed by a deafening roar. The stone wall was instantly blown to pieces, and the young man behind the wall was immediately swept away by the blast wave. When he landed, he was covered in gruesome wounds, his life hanging in the balance.
Even the two men standing not far from the young man were unlucky, caught in the blast and groaning on the ground.
However, the firing of the grenade had completely exposed Bai Ye's position.
"Over there!"
Someone shouted in Bai Ye's direction. Immediately, two men from the cultivation world made their move. With a gesture of their sword seals, they pointed towards Bai Ye, and two flying swords transformed into silver sword light, streaking towards him.
Bai Ye did not hesitate. He picked up his sniper rifle and leaped down from the mountain ridge.
At that very moment...
Rumble!
The two sword lights struck the mountain ridge, followed by a deafening explosion.
The mountain ridge was literally shattered, with countless碎石 (suì shí - broken stones) tumbling down the mountainside.
Simultaneously, Bai Ye landed on the ground, dropped his sniper rifle, picked up his Aug rifle, and pulled the trigger.
Tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk...
The muzzle spat flames, and bullets poured out, sweeping forward.
Most people instinctively scrambled for cover, but the two men from the cultivation world reacted quickly. They rapidly shifted their sword seals, recalling their two flying swords, which began to circle their bodies.
Clang, clang, clang!
In the next instant, crisp metal clashing sounds echoed as the sword light deflected the bullets.
Meanwhile, a woman in her thirties' eyes flashed with light. Faint ripples appeared in the air, and then all the bullets in front of the woman froze, as if grasped by an invisible giant hand.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a furious roar broke out.
Bai Ye looked towards the sound. A burly man, holding a metal riot shield, was charging towards Bai Ye, bullets bouncing off the shield, intent on ramming him.
Bai Ye's expression was unreadable. He mused that only these four seemed to be capable opponents: two from the cultivation world, one from the superpower world, and the last one, although carrying a riot shield, such items could be found on the world battlefield, so it was impossible to determine which world he hailed from based on that alone.
As Bai Ye was contemplating, the gunfire suddenly ceased. His bullets were depleted, and the rifle was empty. At that moment, the burly man with the riot shield had already reached Bai Ye.
"Out of bullets?" the burly man grinned savagely. "Then it's my turn!"
As he spoke, the burly man raised his riot shield and smashed it forcefully at Bai Ye.
Bang!
The riot shield struck Bai Ye with a dull thud, seemingly landing a solid blow.
However, the burly man's heart sank.
The sensation of the impact was wrong!
The burly man was covered in bulging muscles, his physique clearly indicating his strength.
Yet, the moment he collided with Bai Ye, the burly man felt as if he had hit a mountain. His proud strength was utterly useless; Bai Ye's legs seemed rooted to the ground, unmoving.
In the next instant, Bai Ye grabbed the riot shield, yanked it forcefully, and tore it from the man's grip, tossing it aside.
"Sorry," Bai Ye said to him. "Besides guns, I also have fists!"
Bang!
As he spoke, Bai Ye landed an uppercut to the man's jaw.
Crack!
With a single punch, the man's jaw was pulverized. Bai Ye then delivered a sweeping kick to his waist, sending him flying backward 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 surged from behind Bai Ye!
Bai Ye turned his head to see the two men from the cultivation world 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 attacking Bai Ye's face, the other targeting his lower body, making evasion difficult.
However, Bai Ye had no intention of evading!
"Yin Yang Reversal!"
Bai Ye let out a low cry. His hands crossed and extended forward, drawing a circle with his arms.
Instantly, an invisible airflow swirled around Bai Ye, forming a faint vortex that spun around his body.
When the two flying swords reached Bai Ye, they merely brushed against the vortex and instantly had their momentum neutralized. They then followed the flow of the vortex, drifting around Bai Ye.
The two men from the cultivation world froze, unable to believe that their flying swords had suddenly lost contact with them.
And at this moment...
Bai Ye suddenly brought his hands together and pushed forward with his palms!
Bang!
The vortex surrounding Bai Ye's body abruptly exploded, and the two flying swords were shot out with force.
Puff, puff!
The eyes of the two men widened. They reached out to cover their throats, but it was too late.
Blood holes appeared in their throats, and blood sprayed out, dyeing the surrounding bluestone tiles crimson.
Finally...
Thump, thump!
The two men staggered and fell forward, crashing to the ground.
Bai Ye turned and looked at the last woman, from the superpower world.
The woman's lips curled, and she said to Bai Ye, "I'm not as easy to kill as they are!"
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 asked as she approached Bai Ye, circling him. "Can't move? This is my superpower - Object Manipulation!"
As she spoke, the woman extended a finger and provocatively hooked Bai Ye's chin.
"It works on bullets and your body," the woman boasted. "No man can escape my grasp..."
Before the woman could finish speaking, suddenly...
A large hand grasped her throat!
