Speed, stamina, intelligence…
Alright, let’s exclude intelligence. While Xenomorphs possess some wisdom, their primary focus is on physical evolution. Integrating Predator genes would undoubtedly enhance them, but not in a explosive manner.
However, even just the physical enhancements are terrifying. The improvements in speed and stamina, even if not as outrageous as strength, would not be far behind, representing a doubling of capabilities.
"This is going to be tough!"
Bai Ye sighed and took out a Taoist talisman.
"Warm Mist!"
Warm Mist: Can restore a certain amount of stamina, heal injuries to a degree, and conceal an area with mist.
The Water Charm had transformed into Warm Mist, capable of restoring Bai Ye's stamina and healing his injuries. Of course, its most crucial function was obscuring vision!
Instantly, as the talisman burned away, thick white mist began to swirl around Bai Ye, obscuring a large area. Within a meter, vision was completely lost, rendering everything invisible.
The Predator Xenomorph, which had been striding towards Bai Ye, lost its target and stopped in its tracks. It began to spin its body repeatedly, trying to locate Bai Ye.
The next moment, Bai Ye started to move.
The Predator Xenomorph couldn't see Bai Ye, but Bai Ye could pinpoint the Xenomorph's location using the infrared target lock of his bio-mask.
Hearing footsteps appearing around it, the Predator Xenomorph clearly became agitated, increasing the frequency of its body rotations.
And in that instant…
Bai Ye suddenly burst out of the white mist, his Zanpakuto aimed at the back of the Predator Xenomorph's head.
What if its body was even tougher?
As long as he could accurately strike the weak point below the back of its head, where there was no carapace…
Clang!
The next moment, a crisp sound suddenly rang out.
Bai Ye froze. His Zanpakuto had failed to pierce the Predator Xenomorph's head.
Then…
Bang!
The Predator Xenomorph spun around, its arm sweeping across Bai Ye's chest. A tremendous force struck Bai Ye's chest, making him feel as if he had been hit by a truck. He was sent flying backward, crashing hard onto the ground.
The Predator Xenomorph immediately sprinted, pursuing Bai Ye based on the direction of his attack.
Bai Ye quickly conjured a sword technique!
"Ice Barrier!"
A wall of ice rapidly rose from the ground, blocking the Predator Xenomorph. With a boom, the Xenomorph shattered the ice wall.
However, after breaking through the ice wall, the Predator Xenomorph found that Bai Ye had vanished again. Clearly, Bai Ye had escaped while the ice wall provided cover.
The Predator Xenomorph spun around again, white vapor puffing from its nostrils. Its exposed teeth vibrated continuously as it continued to search for Bai Ye.
On the other side, Bai Ye hid behind a piece of machinery, clutching his aching chest. The Predator Xenomorph's strength was immense; taking a direct hit was not something that could be easily endured.
However, apart from the initial moment, the pain subsided quickly.
Thanks to the Warm Mist!
Initially, Bai Ye thought the Water Charm transforming into Warm Mist was not a significant difference, but he now realized he had been shortsighted.
Because of the continuous healing!
During combat, as long as he was within the Warm Mist, Bai Ye's injuries would be continuously healed.
Furthermore, by inference, the stamina recovery of the Warm Mist should also be a continuous process within the mist's coverage.
This was the true value of the Warm Mist!
However, this alone wouldn't be enough to deal with the Predator Xenomorph. What was more troublesome was that this hybrid Xenomorph, born from its parasitic fusion with a Predator, seemed to lack the weaknesses of ordinary Xenomorphs. The back of its head was also covered by a hard carapace, making it impossible to pierce easily.
He couldn't win a direct physical confrontation, and he couldn't find a weak spot…
"Sigh!" Bai Ye sighed, "I just want to fight properly, but you're forcing me to cheat!"
As he thought this, Bai Ye tossed out the gacha machine.
Clang!
The massive gacha machine landed on the ground, attracting the Predator Xenomorph's attention. But the moment the Xenomorph turned its head, Bai Ye had already twisted the gacha machine.
"Gold!"
Bai Ye directly consumed a shard of Divine Stone, specifying a gold gacha.
Soon, with a flash of golden light, a golden gacha dropped from the machine.
Xuanyuan Sword (Chinese Paladin) (Gold): One of the Ten Great Divine Weapons of antiquity. Legend has it that it was bestowed by the Heavenly Realm to the Yellow Emperor to slay Chi You. It is as renowned as the Donghuang Bell, Pangu Axe, Demon Refining Pot, Haotian Tower, Fuxi Qin, Shennong Cauldron, Kongtong Seal, Kunlun Mirror, and Nuwa Stone.
Effects: Golden Sword Qi (Xuanyuan Sword unleashes golden sword qi that can sever all things in the world).
Sword of the Great Dao (Condenses a colossal phantom of the Xuanyuan Sword for attack).
Slay Demons and Exorcise Ghosts (Xuanyuan Sword can suppress all evil spirits in the world; its damage doubles against such entities).
Void-Rending Scar (A sword that shatters the void, striking enemies across space).
All Under Heaven Returns (Xuanyuan Sword gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to unleash the most powerful strike. After this, the sword requires a period of dormancy).
Bai Ye looked at the pure gold sword that appeared before him and the information displayed on the screen, his teeth gritting.
It's over, it's over, the game is over again!
The items that appeared in the gold gacha were top-tier. However, even among the first-tier items, there were still differences in power.
The Xuanyuan Sword, one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts of China passed down from ancient times!
This thing was absolutely top-tier!
Bai Ye raised the sword and laughed heartily, "I'm gonna take on ten!"
Bai Ye's laughter attracted the attention of the Predator Xenomorph, which instantly smashed through the machinery to its side and charged towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye twisted his waist and, without a word, raised the Xuanyuan Sword and slashed.
Instantly, golden radiance illuminated all directions!
With a *噗* sound!
A beam of golden sword qi appeared, sweeping forward. Then, the sound of flesh tearing echoed as the Predator Xenomorph's arm flew off, tumbling through the air!
Xuanyuan Sword…
Unmatched!
Seeing the Predator Xenomorph retreat, Bai Ye showed no hesitation and raised his sword for another horizontal sweep.
That golden sword qi skimmed the ground, slicing forward. Subsequently, the Predator Xenomorph's legs were severed at the knees, and its massive body crashed straight onto the ground.
"Sword of the Great Dao!"
Bai Ye uttered a soft command, pointing the Xuanyuan Sword upwards. Immediately, golden light filled the surroundings.
Within that golden radiance, a colossal Xuanyuan Sword was condensed and thrust downwards.
The moment the phantom sword struck, the Predator Xenomorph let out a scream, struggling desperately, but to no avail. Under the illumination of the golden light, the Predator Xenomorph's flesh and blood began to disintegrate, bit by bit…
Turning to dust!
