From the top of a television tower in the distance of the city.
*Zzzt!*
A piercing sound of electricity suddenly appeared, condensing at the top of the television tower, and then Bai Ye’s figure manifested.
Bai Ye chose to avoid the fight, as there was no point.
The opponent was not one of the chosen ones, so what would be the outcome of killing them all? The Forbidden Zone had ended; killing Ghoul Investigators wouldn’t yield Quinque, and killing those clowns wouldn’t yield Kagune.
Bai Ye was a proponent of self-interest. It was fine for him to kill people, but without any benefit, Bai Ye was too lazy to act.
Standing at the top of the television tower, gazing forward, Bai Ye continued to search for his target.
But at this moment…
*Rumble!*
A deafening explosion suddenly occurred in a certain area ahead.
As the thunderous roar erupted, large clouds of dust and smoke billowed upwards.
Then, almost visibly, an area with a radius of at least one kilometer collapsed downwards.
All the buildings crumbled, toppled, and turned into ruins, sinking into the earth before piling up together.
And at the end of the debris, a terrifying monster suddenly burst from underground.
The monster resembled a giant centipede, soaring into the sky, with blood-red carapaces and wisps of red smoke coiling around its body.
The monster targeted a multi-story building, circling it and climbing to the top.
Even so, a portion of its body remained submerged in the ground.
*Crunch, crunch!*
The building was collapsing!
As the monster tightened its grip, large cracks appeared on the building’s exterior walls, spreading densely until the entire structure was completely fissured.
“This is…” Bai Ye took a deep breath and said, “Dragon form?”
Bai Ye realized he had underestimated this area considerably. With monsters like this, it could definitely be considered a high-level zone.
However, Bai Ye soon realized he was being hindsightful; with the Great Forbidden Zone activated, how could it possibly be a low-level zone?
“It seems our cute Kaneki has grown, becoming such a colossal being.”
Bai Ye smacked his lips, contemplating whether to go and confront this so-called “Dragon.”
In terms of rewards, killing a Dragon form allowed for a designated category and then a random gold-quality item. Undoubtedly, the rewards were the best, but from another perspective, it also meant it was the most difficult to defeat.
*Rumble!*
As Bai Ye was thinking, another explosive roar sounded ahead.
A massive pillar of lightning erupted from the sky, connecting heaven and earth.
And where the lightning pillar pierced through, a dark void rift appeared, as if a piece of space was about to shatter.
“Hmm?” Bai Ye narrowed his eyes and said, “This is a Domain ability, isn’t it? Who is so capable?”
Domain ability, an ability originating from the Supernatural Curse Zone.
Bai Ye had been there before, witnessed the power of curses, and was well aware of the strength of Domain abilities.
Domain abilities started at red quality, with many being gold quality, and among them were powerful Domain abilities that possessed a “growth” attribute.
At this stage, anyone who could obtain a Domain ability was definitely not ordinary.
“So, is it possible that this fellow is behind this area becoming like this?”
Bai Ye couldn’t help but murmur.
At the same time…
*Rumble!*
Within the cracked Domain space, large thunder spheres emerged and lined up in mid-air.
*Rumble, rumble, rumble…*
These thunder spheres exploded one after another, emitting continuous roars.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was completely engulfed by azure lightning; the exploding thunder spheres stretched out in a line, spreading across the sky.
Simultaneously, with the explosion of the thunder spheres, the Domain space could no longer withstand it and began to continuously collapse.
It shouldn’t be gold quality, or it hasn’t reached gold quality yet…
Bai Ye made his judgment. If it were a gold-quality Domain ability, the space created shouldn’t be shattered so easily.
And just as Bai Ye was thinking, a white figure leaped out from the sky first.
Then…
A brilliant sword energy cut through the air, lingering in the sky.
“What the hell?” Bai Ye’s eyes widened, and he stared blankly for a moment before cursing, “Why is it this bastard again?”
The one who appeared next was none other than Li Jiayi!
Bai Ye was stunned. How could he encounter this guy everywhere?
And, as usual, whenever he met this guy, nothing good ever happened.
At the same time…
The battle between Li Jiayi and Arima Kōshō was also nearing its end, but…
It was only *their* battle!
The commotion caused by the two attracted the attention of the “Dragon.” The dragon coiled around the building suddenly twisted its body and charged towards them.
The two, about to clash, felt the whistling gust of wind and immediately dodged the impact, then ran rapidly across the dragon’s back.
“Hidden Edge Four Shadow Swords!”
Li Jiayi let out a low cry, then swept his immortal sword forward.
In an instant, four sword energies appeared simultaneously, slashing forward.
Arima Kōshō raised his black umbrella, turning it into a shield to block in front of him, and then…
*Bang, bang, bang, bang…*
The four sword lights hit the shield consecutively, forcing Arima Kōshō back, but the attacks were completely blocked.
Li Jiayi took a deep breath, drew his sword forward, intending to continue his attack, but at this moment…
*Zzzt!*
A fierce electrical sound surged.
Li Jiayi froze for a moment, quickly looking around, and then found that the space around him was densely interwoven with currents, completely enclosed.
Li Jiayi’s heart sank, sensing that something was amiss, and that an annoying guy seemed to be arriving.
As expected, just as Li Jiayi was thinking, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky.
“I’m here!”
The lightning bolt struck directly towards Li Jiayi’s location, and Li Jiayi quickly leaped backward.
*Rumble!*
The lightning struck the dragon’s body, causing its massive form to sway. Countless electric arcs instantly enveloped the dragon’s entire body.
Amidst the lightning, Bai Ye strode out, looking at Li Jiayi and saying, “You’re really persistent, I see you everywhere I go.”
Li Jiayi almost lost his composure. These were the words he wanted to say! If it weren’t for this scoundrel suddenly appearing, how could things have escalated to this point?
Li Jiayi took a deep breath, then said in a low voice, “Get out of the way, I don’t have time to play with you!”
Arima Kōshō was already at his limit. At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly appearing to interfere might cause Arima Kōshō to no longer be associated with him, Li, and instead be associated with Bai!
Therefore, how could Li Jiayi not be anxious?
