Bai Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and pushed himself up from the ground. "It's not certain who will die yet, is it?"
Adam took a deep breath, suddenly dropped his body low, raised his prism shield, and then placed the Starfall Sword on the shield, assuming a charging posture.
*Bang!*
The ground beneath them shattered again as Adam surged towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye immediately exhaled, and a large cloud of poisonous smoke billowed out, spreading in all directions.
At the same time…
While releasing the poisonous smoke, Bai Ye quickly took out several Dao talismans. Holding them between his fingers, he gave them a gentle flick, and the talismans rapidly ignited.
"Flying Rock Technique!"
*Boom, boom, boom…*
As the talismans burned, the surrounding ground began to tremble. Countless cracks spread, and then, under the manipulation of an unseen force, massive stones were lifted, arranging themselves around Bai Ye.
Adam's gaze was heavy, with no intention of stopping.
Once a charge had begun, how could he halt?
"Starlight!"
Adam roared, thrusting the Starfall Sword forward. A vast expanse of starlight rippled from the blade.
*Boom!*
As the starlight surged, a deafening explosion erupted.
The colossal rocks before him were blown to pieces by the power of the stars. Adam then raised his shield, deflecting the flying debris, and continued forward relentlessly.
Bai Ye, within striking distance!
But…
Adam had no choice but to stop!
A wave of dizziness suddenly struck, and Adam's vision began to blur. Everything before him gradually faded to black. Simultaneously, a buzzing filled Adam's ears, and then he could hear nothing. The air was filled with the mixed scents of battle – the acrid smell of gunpowder and explosions, the dusty odor of crumbling buildings, and the metallic tang of blood from fallen bodies. Now, Adam could smell nothing.
Sense Deprivation!
Then…
Bai Ye sprinted forward, delivering a kick to Adam's chest that sent him staggering backward. Before Adam could regain his footing, the famous blade Bloodthirst slashed forward.
*Puff!*
Adam's right chest was cleaved, and a gush of crimson blood splattered out from the wound.
Adam gritted his teeth and swung his shield wildly around, but it was useless. At this moment, Adam was merely attacking blindly based on instinct. In truth, after landing the strike, Bai Ye had already swiftly retreated.
Then…
He slowly repositioned, circling cautiously…
At this moment, Bai Ye was like a venomous snake that had spotted its prey, waiting for an opportunity, searching for a weakness, and then…
To strike!
Suddenly, at the instant Adam stopped swinging his shield, Bai Ye lunged forward.
Adam's combat experience was profound. Even without his senses, he expertly used his prism shield to protect his vital areas.
However, it was only his vital areas!
Bai Ye swiftly moved beside Adam, a fierce glint in his eyes. The famous blade Bloodthirst plunged into Adam's lower back.
*Puff!*
The sound of tearing flesh and blood echoed.
Blood immediately flowed out, and was rapidly absorbed by the famous blade Bloodthirst, integrating into the blade.
Feeling the pain in his waist, Adam roared and swung the Starfall Sword forcefully backward!
A massive wave of starlight erupted from the blade, blasting outward to the side, pulverizing a pillar inside the bank.
The fractured pillar collapsed, smashing the desk beneath it, instantly kicking up a cloud of dust.
However, Bai Ye had already retreated. He then unleashed a punch forward with his left fist.
"Blood Demon Art!"
Blood Demon Art (condenses absorbed blood into blood demon spheres for attack, granting bonus magic attack based on spirit power, currently 5% bonus magic attack)
Bai Ye swung the famous blade Bloodthirst, and then, a torrent of bloody magic spheres appeared, surging towards Adam.
It was time to end this!
Deprived of his senses and injured, it would be difficult for Adam to evade this attack.
But at this moment…
Adam suddenly crouched, sidestepped, and pushed off the ground with his legs!
The bloody magic spheres grazed Adam's body, striking the wall ahead, and then…
*Boom, boom, boom…*
The wall groaned under the assault, being progressively pulverized by the bloody magic spheres and collapsing outwards.
As Adam leaped away, he aimed his shield towards Bai Ye.
Mechanical whirring sounds emanated from the shield, and then, four small openings appeared at the prism's four corners.
Four prism-shaped shurikens attached to chains suddenly shot out, moving with terrifying speed. A flash of silver in the air, and they were in front of Bai Ye.
"Ugh!"
Bai Ye grunted, his body trembling slightly.
Two of the shurikens pierced Bai Ye's legs, one embedded in his waist, and another lodged in his arm.
The next moment, Adam yanked hard on the chains, forcefully dragging Bai Ye to the ground and pulling him towards himself!
"Ah!"
The intense pain caused Bai Ye to cry out involuntarily.
The shurikens were bizarre. As Adam pulled, they did not detach from Bai Ye's body but seemed to embed themselves, tearing at his flesh until Bai Ye was dragged to Adam's side.
"A powerful poison gas, capable of depriving one of their senses," Adam said, looking down at Bai Ye. "Unfortunately, my strength is beyond what someone from your low-level world can comprehend. Did you think humans only had five senses? That's because you've never experienced the Gene Gate. With the opening of the Gene Gate, the sixth, seventh, and eighth senses are all amplified, making one incredibly sensitive to time and space. Therefore, even without sight, I know precisely where you are."
As Adam spoke, he raised the Starfall Sword.
"That you could land that strike was intentional, meant to make you complacent," Adam sneered. "Now, you will pay the price."
Looking at the gleaming sword energy, Bai Ye suddenly chuckled, licking his lips. "Alright, I admit you outmaneuvered me, but you shouldn't have gotten so close!"
Adam blinked, not understanding Bai Ye's words.
But at this moment…
"Poison Dragon!"
A massive amount of purple toxic liquid spewed from Bai Ye's body, and under his control, it completely enveloped Adam.
Almost instantly, Adam felt as if he had been plunged into a pool of concentrated sulfuric acid, experiencing an intense stinging and burning sensation.
