The blood-red bats dispersed and reformed, quickly coalescing again on the side.
But Bai Ye had seen through it!
Hamir's move was remarkably similar to the elementalization of the Goro Goro no Mi.
On one hand, the Goro Goro no Mi's elementalization granted immunity to physical attacks. On the other hand, with proper control, it could also be used to evade non-physical assaults.
For instance, if someone hurled a fireball at Bai Ye, Bai Ye could use elementalization to transform his body into an electric arc. After the fireball passed through him, he could reform, thereby dodging the attack.
Hamir's blood bats might not possess immunity to physical attacks, but the underlying principle was the same.
Therefore...
Since Bai Ye himself possessed a similar technique, he naturally understood its flaw.
That flaw was the split second of dispersion and aggregation, where his location could be easily pinpointed!
Zzzt!
Bai Ye instantly appeared before the coalescing blood bats. As Hamir reappeared, Bai Ye abruptly raised his hand, gripped Hamir's neck, and slammed him against the wall.
"A vampire, are we?" Bai Ye said. "If you don't want to be truly beaten into a bat, get lost while you still can!"
The moment Bai Ye spoke, he applied more force to his arm.
Boom!
The wall behind them shattered, and Hamir was smashed directly into the room by Bai Ye.
"Ah!"
Inside the hotel room, scantily clad men and women were embracing. The woman screamed in terror.
Hamir roared angrily, "Shut up!"
As he spoke, Hamir reached to his side and slashed.
A large expanse of blood mist emerged, coiling around Hamir's arm to form a blood blade. The bodies of the man and woman were then directly cleaved apart, with a vast amount of blood and internal organs splattering out.
After this strike, Hamir stood up again with a grim expression, glaring ferociously at Bai Ye.
Hamir had now confirmed two things.
The first: Bai Ye was not to be trifled with!
The second: Bai Ye had provoked him!
Taking a deep breath, Hamir's eyes gradually turned blood-red. Blood mist began to swirl around both his arms, and from this mist, two enormous scythes forged from solidified blood appeared.
"Ah!"
Hamir roared and lunged at Bai Ye.
The blood-red scythes swept forward, bisecting the entire room.
Bai Ye quickly leaped backward.
Those blood-red scythes were clearly no ordinary weapons. The solidified blood meant they were not purely physical attacks, and the Goro Goro no Mi's elementalization would be ineffective.
After the initial strike, Hamir did not pause. He pushed off with his legs and continued to charge at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye attempted to summon the Kongtong Seal, then remembered it was past midnight and the seal had vanished. He instead extended his hand forward in a pressing motion.
"Gate of Babylon!"
Behind Bai Ye, a golden light screen rapidly materialized.
Then, accompanied by the appearance of weapon after weapon from the golden light screen, a large area of golden ripples emerged behind Bai Ye, dense and appearing quite terrifying.
Naturally, Bai Ye's Gate of Babylon was still no match for the perverted Golden King with his treasury of all worldly treasures. However, the Golden King did not unleash all the weapons from his treasury at once.
Instead, he launched continuous volleys of attacks.
Bai Ye didn't know how many rounds of continuous attacks the Golden King could perform, but at least Bai Ye could currently unleash one round of attacks with the same power as the Golden King's.
At that moment, Hamir's expression shifted slightly.
The oppressive aura emanating from the densely packed weapons caused Hamir's spirit to stir.
The blood-red scythes rapidly disintegrated, transforming into a massive blood-red cloak that enveloped Hamir, forming a defense.
Then...
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Weapons from the Gate of Babylon fired furiously forward, repeatedly striking Hamir and emitting tremendous roars.
The room was instantly turned into a mess, with walls and pillars collapsing continuously, and furnishings shattering in an instant.
Hamir was repeatedly pushed backward. The blood-red cloak, which could initially withstand Bai Ye's attacks, was gradually torn apart.
*Puff!*
A golden sword grazed Hamir's shoulder, opening a wound. Immediately after, the Shadow Axe struck Hamir's leg.
The pain twisted Hamir's features, but at this moment, the Nanming Lihuo Sword pierced Hamir's waist, pinning him directly.
Hamir roared and suddenly charged to the side, smashing through the floor-to-ceiling window of the room and leaping out.
As he began to plummet from the sky, enormous bat wings unfurled behind Hamir, and he ascended upwards.
Bai Ye did not hesitate. His figure turned into lightning, flashing forward, pursuing him out of the room, and similar to Hamir, he unfurled massive crystalline wings.
Yu He · Phoenix!
Bai Ye took a deep breath and also flew upwards, chasing Hamir to the hotel rooftop, landing on the helicopter pad.
The two faced each other. Bai Ye glanced at Hamir and couldn't help but tut.
Despite Hamir's disheveled state earlier, being battered by the Gate of Babylon and forced to retreat, upon landing now...
All of Hamir's injuries had completely healed. Not only had the bleeding stopped, but there wasn't even a scar.
This was all within the span of three minutes, at most.
This regenerative ability of super-speed healing was indeed terrifying.
However, it was precisely because Bai Ye knew Hamir possessed such an ability that he attacked him, thus not worrying about accidentally killing him.
Otherwise, Bai Ye couldn't kill Hamir, as it would result in elimination. Furthermore, severely injuring Hamir was also unsuitable, as Bai Ye still needed him to stall Li Jia Yi.
On the other side, Hamir, looking at his restored body, appeared even more enraged and somewhat anxious.
Bai Ye seemed to be stronger than he had anticipated.
This was a troublesome opponent.
However, Hamir licked his lips, not believing he would lose.
In terms of offense and defense, Hamir might not be Bai Ye's equal, but as long as Bai Ye couldn't kill him, he could outlast Bai Ye.
The vampire's innate gifts were Hamir's greatest advantage.
"Ah!"
Hamir thought as he opened his hands, transforming them once again into two massive blood-red scythes and slashing down towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye dodged to the side, and the blood-red scythes struck the helicopter pad.
Boom!
The helicopter pad was directly cleaved open, with a large section falling downwards and crashing onto the street.
A unfortunate driver's car was instantly crushed, and the driver inside was torn to shreds.
Bai Ye and Hamir leaped simultaneously, their wings unfurling, and re-engaged in combat in mid-air.
