After a moment of standoff, Bai Ye reached out again, grabbing at Alex.
The instant Bai Ye made his move, the two figures lunged at Bai Ye again.
Iron Wall Physique (Increases damage resistance by 50 points for 10 minutes. This effect cannot be used simultaneously with Savage Physique)
A glow appeared on Bai Ye's body. Seeing the man from Cang Long Hui closing in, he threw a punch.
Bang!
Their fists collided. The opponent grinned ferociously, deliberately shifting his arm to brush against Bai Ye's.
However, this time, he failed!
As their arms crossed, a sharp metallic friction sound rang out, and golden sparks even faintly sputtered between their arms.
The scale-like ability on the opponent's body was primarily defensive. While the scales were as sharp as blades, their lethality wasn't great. After Bai Ye boosted his damage resistance, his muscles became like steel, rendering the opponent's scales unable to cut him.
But...
Blade strikes incoming!
The other woman's saber slashed towards Bai Ye's chest!
This couldn't be taken head-on. "Steel-like" was merely a metaphor; Bai Ye's body hadn't actually turned to metal. Besides, even if it were steel, Bai Ye doubted he could withstand a slashing blow. The saber in the woman's hand clearly wasn't ordinary. It might not be a high-grade item, but it was at least blue quality.
Clang!
While thinking, Bai Ye's Frost Condensation Sword once again clashed with the saber, producing a crisp ringing sound.
This time, however, the Frost Condensation Sword was knocked away again, while the woman's saber remained steady.
Because, a mechanical whirring sound was heard!
Like Zak, the woman hailed from a future technological world of mechanical civilization. Zak's modified mechanical prosthetics were his legs, while the woman had modified her right arm.
As mechanical sounds emanated from the woman's right arm, her strength surged instantly, and the Frost Condensation Sword could no longer hold its ground.
Fortunately, Bai Ye's reaction was quick!
"Ice Wall!"
The moment the Frost Condensation Sword was knocked away, it suddenly emanated a chilling, silver-white frost, and an ice wall erupted from the ground, blocking Bai Ye.
Clang!
The saber struck the ice wall, instantly sending ice shards flying. Then, with a roar, it was forcefully shattered and collapsed downwards.
Bai Ye once again blocked the combined assault of the two. Seizing the opening, he grabbed Alex by the shoulder and lifted the million-dollar man who was cowering on the ground.
The three fell into a standoff again. The Cang Long Hui man chuckled, "Brother, I think you should let him go. You can't handle this situation!"
The woman, meanwhile, shifted her stance immediately, moving to the side to adjust her position for a better pursuit angle.
Bai Ye grinned, "I can't handle it? Because you have more people?"
The Cang Long Hui man said, "You're only one person, after all. Even if you snatch him, what good will it do? Without anyone to cover you, you'll never be able to get him out!"
His words held truth. In the current situation, it was almost impossible for one person to get Alex away.
Even if Bai Ye was strong, he couldn't fend off attacks while simultaneously escorting Alex.
Therefore, at least two people were needed: one to block attacks and another to drag Alex away.
But as the other man finished speaking, Bai Ye chuckled.
"Who told you I was alone?"
The moment Bai Ye spoke, he grabbed Alex and hoisted him up.
In the next instant, under their horrified gazes, Bai Ye threw Alex off the bridge.
"No!"
Alex screamed and plummeted downwards.
The opponents were stunned. Instinctively, they ran to the bridge railing and looked down, only to see a massive ripple appear in the river below.
The next moment, a giant whale-like beast broke through the water, opening its mouth wide and swallowing Alex whole before quickly sinking into the river.
Bai Ye clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, and paced to the center of the bridge.
"Alright, now things are simple," Bai Ye spread his arms, grinning ferociously. "Come on, let's tear each other apart. You can't chase after him unless you defeat me!"
Once Alex was thrown off the bridge by Bai Ye, the surrounding battles immediately halted.
Because there was no point in fighting anymore.
Alex had been taken by Bai Ye!
Someone immediately leaped onto the side bridge support, holding a strange weapon that looked like two metal rods.
"Thunderbolt!"
The person forcefully struck the metal rods together. Instantly, a current of electricity appeared and struck downwards.
Others pulled out rocket launchers, went to the railing, and fired downwards!
Boom!
The current, like a sharp blade, split the river surface, creating a rift at least seven or eight meters long as it struck.
Then...
Along with the firing of the rocket launchers, a deafening roar sounded, and a pillar of water at least ten meters high erupted from the river surface, with ripples spreading outwards in circles.
But...
It was useless!
Jin Sha's Wailmer had already submerged and was swimming forward, almost grazing the riverbed, making its location difficult to pinpoint. Moreover, the two attacks, while impressive, could not harm the Wailmer at the river's bottom.
What's more...
"Phoenix!" Bai Ye roared, "Phoenix Flame!"
Bai Ye suddenly punched forward, a pair of flaming wings manifesting behind him. He then stepped forward and unleashed a wave of scorching flames that swept forward, engulfing the two attackers.
"Can't you understand plain speech?" Bai Ye said. "I told you, if you want to chase him, you have to defeat me first!"
The leader of the Cang Long Hui man's face was grim. He looked at Bai Ye and said, "You dare to challenge so many people alone? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Who are these people?" Bai Ye laughed. "I only see a bunch of weaklings!"
Bai Ye's words instantly enraged the crowd.
However, Bai Ye didn't give them a chance to attack first. After issuing his challenge, he directly made his move.
"Goodra!" Bai Ye shouted, "Meteor Shower!"
"Yaa~"
Goodra suddenly leaped up from behind and landed on the side bridge support. Its body began to glow, as if enveloped in a film of light.
Crack, crack, crack!
An invisible, mysterious force began to spread. The ground made continuous sounds, countless cracks appearing and spreading wildly.
