Bai Ye looked at the other person teasingly and asked, "Any more weapons?"
The man glanced at Bai Ye, then at the hilt in his hand, gritted his teeth, threw the hilt away, and lunged at Bai Ye.
In terms of physique...
The man in front of Bai Ye was a little over two meters tall, while Bai Ye was more than half a head shorter. In terms of build, Bai Ye wasn't thin. He had muscles, but wasn't bulky; he was well-proportioned. The other man's muscles, however, were bulging, especially his arms, with clearly defined lines.
This contrast explained why the man dared to engage in close combat. Then...
*Bang!*
The moment the man reached him, Bai Ye directly swept his leg, hitting him hard in the abdomen. The man's eyes widened, and he collapsed onto the ground like a curled-up shrimp.
Bai Ye raised his leg and brought it down towards the man's head, and then...
*Bang!*
The man's head hit the ground, cracking a patch of it. Crimson blood immediately began to flow.
In areas of technological civilization, the greatest weakness is often oneself.
In a way, it's quite similar to beast tamers.
Beast tamers pour a lot of their energy into their beasts, leaving themselves vulnerable.
People in technologically advanced areas rely primarily on terrifying technological weapons for their combat strength, which also leaves them vulnerable.
However, this is mainly in relation to the combat effectiveness of the natives.
The growth of the chosen ones, while often leaning towards one aspect, is not usually extreme.
Take Jin Sha, for example. Before coming to the world battlefield, she was a beast tamer, and after arriving, she still focused on beast taming.
Because beast taming is what Jin Sha knows best and her forte; there's no reason for her to abandon something she's good at.
However, as time passes, Jin Sha will surely do more than just tame beasts, and her weakness in her own combat ability will be compensated to some extent.
Then there's the "Queen of Arms" Bai Lu. That woman who wields guns, yes, she uses guns, but in reality, Bai Lu is also adept at magic. In Bai Ye's memory, Bai Lu even possessed a formidable gun-fu skill and was capable in close-quarters combat.
But natives don't have this possibility; their weaknesses are obvious.
Of course, there are occasional exceptions, such as bio-tech civilization, which also falls under futuristic technology, but they don't fall for Bai Ye's tactics. Moreover, some high-end technological civilizations may even develop in dual, or even multiple directions.
But it's clear that the city they are currently in is not like that. Without their technological weapons, the inhabitants are vulnerable.
This is good, at least for Bai Ye. Technological weapons? Vulnerable in front of Bai Ye!
Even a mecha, he'll dismantle it...
Alright, maybe Bai Ye can't dismantle it now, at least not yet. Dismantling a mecha requires an immense amount of mental energy. But it will definitely be no problem in the future.
In his past life, Bai Ye could not only dismantle Gundams with his bare hands but also assemble them, without even looking at the manual.
Bai Ye thought as he prepared to turn and leave, but at that moment, a "drip, drip" sound reached him, causing him to stop.
Bai Ye looked at the corpse and then saw a small device dropped beside it.
The device was a badge about half the size of a palm, with a handle. Around its outer edge was a fan-shaped green display screen.
Bai Ye picked it up and looked at it, and immediately chuckled.
This was a Hunter's identification badge, which not only served for identity recognition but also for information sharing. The "drip, drip" sound earlier was an information alert.
Most importantly, this information was a timely boon for Bai Ye.
Currently, out of the nine wanted criminals, including Bai Ye, four had their whereabouts exposed as soon as they began their wish missions.
They were the unlucky one, Li Jiayi; the unlucky one, Bai Ye, who was tricked by the first unlucky one; the unlucky one, Sanshang Zhi'er; and the unlucky one, Garrison Dale.
Among them, Sanshang Zhi'er's badge number was seven, so Sanshang Zhi'er, who was living quite well in the Land of the Rising Sun, was Bai Ye's first target. Bai Ye's badge number was eight.
So, what else was there to say? Go get him!
Bai Ye thought this, then proceeded to strip the man's clothes, put them on himself, and left the alley.
"Where is the Falel Mall?"
Information was one thing, but without a map, Bai Ye was unfamiliar with this city...
However, can one be unlucky forever?
Bai Ye's luck was surprisingly good this time. After leaving the alley, he planned to hijack a car, as cars have navigation and he could force the driver to take him to his destination.
To his surprise, after walking less than a hundred meters out of the alley, Bai Ye found himself facing a giant billboard. The advertisement was for a promotional sale at Falel Mall, with discounts of 50% off or more. It even helpfully indicated the direction and distance.
Not too far, about two kilometers.
In that case, there was no need to hijack a car. It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble and risk exposure.
...
At the same time...
Inside Falel Mall, a middle-aged man wearing traditional Japanese attire, with two swords at his waist, was running at high speed.
"Make way, make way, make way..."
Sanshang Zhi'er shouted loudly. The crowd in front of him continuously dodged to the sides. As for those who couldn't react in time...
"Isshun Giri!"
Sanshang Zhi'er suddenly roared, drawing his sword. A man and a woman in front of him were instantly sliced in two, and a large amount of blood splattered out.
"Ah!"
Screams erupted from the surroundings, and many people collapsed onto the ground.
Sanshang Zhi'er, however, remained expressionless. He leaped over the corpses and continued to run forward.
But at that moment...
Two Hunters suddenly appeared, aiming their guns at Sanshang Zhi'er, but...
Sanshang Zhi'er was extremely cunning. He immediately ducked behind a pregnant woman, holding his sword to her throat.
"No, don't kill me..."
The pregnant woman was terrified, her face contorted with fear, and sweat dripped down her.
The two Hunters dared not act rashly.
Sanshang Zhi'er sneered, pushed the pregnant woman towards them, and continued to flee.
Sanshang Zhi'er dared not stop. There were two terrifying aspects to Hunters.
The first was their technological weapons.
Technological weapons are quite monstrous. They can give even weak individuals with no combat ability considerable fighting power.
Basic standard equipment like energy guns were one thing, but some Hunters possessed futuristic technological weapons called "wind tunnel guns."
Sanshang Zhi'er found those things to be a bit too much, at least red-quality. Their function was to inflate the air pressure within the target upon impact, capable of causing them to self-destruct.
At the very least, they could compress internal organs, causing considerable damage, and were almost impossible to defend against.
The second was their numbers. Hunters were too numerous. If he stopped, he would be constantly hounded.
Sanshang Zhi'er understood the principle of "many ants can crush an elephant."
Therefore, he could only run, continuously run, and prevent himself from stopping, hoping to shake off the Hunters.
