Jin Sha said nothing superfluous, quickly pulling Alex towards the door.
But, the moment they stepped out...
Bang!
Jin Sha felt a heavy blow to the head, sent flying by a punch. She fell to the ground, stars in her eyes, a gash on her forehead bleeding.
"Come with me!"
A muscular man in a tank top grabbed Alex's shoulder, signaling him to get into a car parked nearby.
Alex didn't seem to mind, shrugging as he walked towards the car.
As long as he left this city, who rescued him...
Did it make a difference to Alex?
Jin Sha gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, saying, "Stop!"
The strong man turned around and fired a submachine gun at Jin Sha.
Jin Sha's reaction was swift. She quickly dodged to the side, taking cover behind a car, and then threw out a beast-taming ball.
"Scizor, hold the line!"
A flash of white light revealed a mantis-like beast. Facing the barrage of bullets, it continuously swung its scythes. Then, with a series of clangs, the bullets were all deflected by Scizor's scythes.
"Oh? So you're from the Beast Taming World? Speaking of which, I haven't gotten my first kill on a chosen one from the Beast Taming World yet. I really want to take you down here." The strong man took out a grenade and rolled it under the car, saying, "Too bad, I have more important things to do right now. I'll let you off the hook for now!"
Jin Sha, hearing the sound of the rolling grenade, quickly stood up and sprinted forward, then leaped!
Boom!
The next moment, an explosion rocked the area.
With the blast, the entire car was lifted half a meter into the air before crashing back down, engulfed in flames.
Meanwhile, the strong man got into his car and drove away rapidly.
Jin Sha rolled to absorb the impact and then aimed her plasma cannon. But then she remembered something and quickly put it away.
If she fired that shot, the car and its occupant would be blown to smithereens. But the problem was, Alex would most likely be blown to smithereens too. Then everyone would fail, as a dead Alex wouldn't count as completing the mission of getting him out of the city.
"Scizor!" Jin Sha shouted, "Follow them!"
Scizor nodded, spread its insectoid wings, and quickly took to the sky, chasing after the car.
Jin Sha then turned to Rattata and said, "Rattata, wait for Bai Ye here!"
After saying that, Jin Sha quickly opened the door of a car and drove off.
At the same time...
Bai Ye had been firing for a while. Because it was pitch black, Bai Ye didn't know if he had hit anyone. He could only stop firing and listen for any sounds.
But at this moment...
Bai Ye suddenly saw a flash of cold light pass by him!
A katana grazed past Bai Ye's chest, mere centimeters away. Bai Ye then quickly grabbed the attacker's arm.
"Playing close combat with me?" Bai Ye grabbed the attacker by the collar and lifted him up, saying, "Are you worthy?"
With his body enhanced by the T-virus and his supernatural abilities strengthening his physique, Bai Ye was extremely confident in his body's resilience. With the combination of both, all his stats except intelligence had surpassed a hundred. His physical fitness was ten times that of a normal adult human, and Bai Ye was not afraid at all.
Then...
Bang!
After lifting the person, Bai Ye directly slammed him into a table nearby.
With a crash, the table instantly shattered into pieces.
The attacker, enduring the pain, got up and darted to the side, trying to disappear into the darkness again.
Bai Ye snorted and raised his fist, saying, "Phoenix, Flame!"
Flames wrapped around Bai Ye's arm. With a punch, he unleashed a pillar of fire.
The fire column surged forward, igniting various parts of the bar. Not only were the tables and chairs made of wood, but the strong alcohol also fueled the flames.
With the light from the fire, Bai Ye could finally see his attacker's appearance.
"A ninja?"
The attacker was a scrawny, somewhat short man, completely clad in a black bodysuit. His head was covered by a mask, revealing only his eyes. In his hand, he held a katana, glinting sharply.
Seeing that he could no longer escape into the darkness, the ninja immediately turned and lunged at Bai Ye with his sword again.
As the attacker lunged, Bai Ye flicked his wrist, a playing card landing in his palm. He threw it forward.
The ninja's reaction was incredibly fast. He parried the playing card with his katana held horizontally in front of him.
But...
Taking advantage of the moment the attacker was blocking the card, Bai Ye darted forward.
"Still as a virgin, moving like a startled rabbit!"
Bai Ye reached the ninja and kicked him directly in the chest, sending him flying again. Before the ninja could get up, Bai Ye picked up a round table from the side and slammed it down forcefully.
Bang!
The ninja quickly curled up and then used his foot to brace the falling table, thrusting his katana upwards.
The katana was no ordinary weapon, easily piercing the tabletop and grazing Bai Ye's cheek.
Bai Ye glanced at the blade near his face, then forcefully twisted the table. The ninja immediately felt a searing pain in his wrist and involuntarily let go of his katana. Bai Ye then tossed the table aside, along with the ninja's katana.
Without his weapon, the ninja's unarmed combat skills were no match for Bai Ye. After shoving the ninja's arm aside, Bai Ye grabbed him by the clothes and dragged him to the wall, then...
Bang!
Bai Ye violently flung him, slamming him hard against the wall.
After the impact, the ninja curled up in pain but was still lifted up by Bai Ye, who grabbed him by his clothes.
"How did you find this place?" Bai Ye chuckled, "Were you following the Royce family's car?"
The ninja did not answer, struggling desperately. Then...
A fierce look flashed in the ninja's eyes. He suddenly tore open the sleeve of his right arm, revealing a short blade that fell into his hand. He lunged towards Bai Ye's abdomen.
But, just as he was about to succeed...
Slap!
Bai Ye slapped the ninja across the face, disorienting him. The ninja's body swayed, and the direction of his stab naturally deviated, grazing Bai Ye's body as it passed.
Bai Ye stepped forward and, while the ninja was still dazed, grabbed his mask and forcefully slammed his head against the wall.
Bang!
With a dull thud, the ninja lay on the ground, blood streaming from his face.
The next moment, Bai Ye knelt down, grabbed the ninja's wrist, and twisted it, forcing the short blade in the ninja's hand to stab towards the ninja's own chest.
