Bai Ye arrived at the location but did not appear directly in the combat zone. Instead, he hid in a riverside shop and peeked outside.
Just as Li Jiayi had said, Hamel looked quite miserable.
Hamel's upper clothing was gone, revealing a body of well-defined muscles. He hadn't expected the old bat to have such a good physique.
However, visible wounds could be seen on Hamel's body, constantly oozing blood.
The injuries weren't severe, perhaps seven or eight wounds, and all were superficial. But Hamel possessed super-regeneration abilities!
Given this, the fact that Hamel still had so many wounds indicated how fierce the battle was.
In fact, it truly was…
In the sky, a stream of colorful light streaked across, followed by the sudden sound of swords.
Situ Chicheng broke through the clouds and appeared in the sky, with three flying swords circling around him. After forming a sword seal, the three swords merged into one and pierced down towards Hamel.
Hamel roared, his massive bat wings unfurling behind him. His entire body emanated blood energy, transforming into a giant scythe that slashed towards the sky.
Boom!
A violent collision sound erupted.
As their weapons met, terrifying fluctuations appeared and continuously pushed outwards in all directions.
The ground along the riverbank continuously shattered, with cracks bursting open.
The next moment…
After a brief stalemate, Hamel's blood-colored scythe couldn't hold on any longer and shattered with a roar.
However, Situ Chicheng's three flying swords were also repelled.
But Hamel's opponent wasn't just Situ Chicheng!
Behind Hamel, an Iron Blood Warrior stood on the riverbank and suddenly raised his hand.
A wrist-mounted gun was installed on the back of the Iron Blood Warrior's hand.
A beam of green energy suddenly appeared and shot forward, hitting Hamel's back.
With a thud!
Hamel's back was pierced by a shot from the warrior, and a stream of bright red blood sprayed out.
This was how Hamel sustained his wounds. While super-regeneration was terrifying, facing continuous attacks meant that even super-regeneration couldn't keep up with the rate of injury.
However, Bai Ye believed that the group of divine followers must also be quite frustrated.
It was already four against one, and Hamel was continuously getting injured, yet they still couldn't take him down. The four divine followers were likely despairing; this guy was just too hard to kill.
But at this rate, Hamel's demise was probably only a matter of time.
First, as long as the speed at which Hamel sustained injuries could outpace his super-regeneration, theoretically, there was a chance to kill Hamel.
Second, Hamel had been entangled with his opponents all night and was now extremely fatigued. While super-regeneration could heal injuries, mental fatigue could not be alleviated.
Third, daytime was indeed very disadvantageous for Hamel. His strength was weakened by at least twenty to thirty percent. When Bai Ye had fought Hamel before, he was significantly stronger than he was now.
At the same time, Bai Ye's Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.
Bai Ye casually took out the Den Den Mushi and answered, "Hello? What is it?"
Li Jiayi's voice sounded, tinged with impatience, "Why aren't you making a move? Are you just watching from the sidelines?"
Bai Ye replied, "I'm waiting for you to make a move!"
Li Jiayi said, "I'm responsible for remote support and containment."
Bai Ye responded, "I'm truly sorry, but I'm also responsible for remote support and containment."
Li Jiayi roared, "You bastard!"
Bai Ye said, "Stop with the useless talk. I'm just asking if you're going to attack."
Li Jiayi hesitated for a moment, then said, "You're ruthless. I'll go, but if you run, we're not done!"
Beep, beep, beep…
After Li Jiayi finished his grumbling, he hung up the phone.
At the same time…
Bai Ye peeked towards the riverbank and suddenly, from a shop to his side, nine massive crystalline tails shot out, smashing down towards the Iron Blood Warrior who had fired earlier.
Boom, boom, boom…
Continuous roaring sounds erupted, and a section of the riverbank directly collapsed. The Iron Blood Warrior also fell into the river.
Li Jiayi attacked while grumbling, "Why aren't you coming out, you son of a bitch?"
Bai Ye grinned, then transformed into a current of electricity and shot up into the sky.
Bai Ye flew directly into the air, his massive Uka unfurling behind him, transforming into a pair of crystal wings burning with flames.
Either don't fight, or fight the strongest!
Bai Ye directly targeted Situ Chicheng, spraying venom from his arm, and then punched forward fiercely.
Poison Dragon (Releases a poison dragon condensed from venom to attack. Upon contact, any object will be corroded by the poison)
The venom dripping from Bai Ye's body continuously condensed and transformed into a dragon shape, heading forward and directly at Situ Chicheng.
Situ Chicheng did not dare to be careless, after all, he had suffered at Bai Ye's hands before.
"Three Stars Return to Moon!"
Situ Chicheng let out a low roar. Immediately, the three flying swords flew back to Situ Chicheng and circled in front of him.
The sword light transformed into a circular shape and collided with the Poison Dragon, shattering it.
The next moment, Situ Chicheng formed a Dao seal, then drew a符 (talisman) with his finger and quickly pointed forward.
"Five Elements Technique!" Situ Chicheng softly exclaimed, "Zi Wu Cold Tide!"
As Situ Chicheng pointed, the surrounding temperature suddenly plummeted. A large expanse of silvery-white frost appeared and flew forward, freezing the scattered venom.
The venom transformed into purple ice balls that fell downwards, dropping into the river.
Bai Ye curled his lips. The Doku Doku no Mi was very useful and powerful.
As Bai Ye's former trump card, the Doku Doku no Mi certainly had its merits, but why was it only red quality?
Because the Doku Doku no Mi couldn't handle high-end battles.
In high-end battles, there were quite a few ways to counter the Doku Doku no Mi.
Freezing and high temperatures could both curb the Doku Doku no Mi. Secondly, if all else failed, one could simply shatter it, countering with attacks. Alternatively, energy-based defense could also restrain the Doku Doku no Mi. It was only when facing physical defenses that the venom's corrosive properties would be displayed.
Of course, poison, by its nature, was timeless. It all depended on whether the opponent had countermeasures. Once they didn't, the Doku Doku no Mi's venom was a nightmare.
At the same time…
Situ Chicheng blocked the Poison Dragon and formed another sword seal. The three swords suddenly split.
Three into six, six into twelve, twelve into twenty-four…
In the blink of an eye, twenty-four flying sword phantoms appeared before Situ Chicheng, forming a circle, and then continuously shot out towards Bai Ye.
"Hmph!" Bai Ye sneered, "You want to compete with me on who has more weapons?"
