Speed, stamina, intellect...
Fine, let's exclude intellect. While Xenomorphs possess some intelligence, their primary inclination is towards physical evolution. Merging with Predator genes would certainly enhance it, but not to an explosive degree.
However, even just a physical improvement is terrifying. The enhancements in speed and stamina, even if not as drastic as strength, would certainly not be far behind, a complete doubling in difference.
"This is going to be tricky!"
Bai Ye sighed, then produced a Taoist talisman.
"Warm Mist!"
Warm Mist: Can restore a certain amount of stamina, heal injuries to a degree, and create a mist to obscure an area.
The Water Incantation transformed into Warm Mist, capable of restoring Bai Ye's stamina and healing his wounds. Of course, its most crucial function was obscuring vision!
Instantly, as the talisman burned away, a thick, white mist billowed out around Bai Ye, obscuring a large area. Within a meter, vision was completely lost, nothing could be seen clearly.
The Predator-Xenomorph, which had been striding towards Bai Ye, lost its target and stopped in its tracks, its body rotating as it tried to locate Bai Ye.
The next moment, Bai Ye began to move.
The Predator-Xenomorph couldn't see Bai Ye, but Bai Ye could lock onto the Predator-Xenomorph's location using the infrared target lock of his bio-mask.
Hearing the footsteps appearing around it, the Predator-Xenomorph grew clearly agitated, its body rotating at an increasing frequency.
And in that instant...
Bai Ye suddenly burst out of the white mist, his Zangetsu aimed at the back of the Predator-Xenomorph's head.
So what if its body is tougher?
As long as it can accurately strike the weak point beneath the head, where there's no carapace...
Clang!
The next instant, a crisp sound suddenly rang out.
Bai Ye couldn't help but freeze. His Zangetsu 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 massive force struck Bai Ye's chest, and he felt as if he had been hit by a truck. He was sent flying backward, crashing hard onto the ground.
The Predator-Xenomorph immediately charged, pursuing Bai Ye in the direction he was sent flying.
Bai Ye quickly formed a sword technique!
"Ice Bulwark!"
A wall of ice rapidly rose from the ground, blocking the Predator-Xenomorph. Then, with a boom, the Predator-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 was obstructing the creature.
The Predator-Xenomorph spun around again, white vapor puffing from its nostrils. Its exposed fangs trembled as it continued to search for Bai Ye.
Meanwhile, Bai Ye hid behind a piece of machinery, clutching his aching chest. The Predator-Xenomorph's strength was immense; taking a direct hit like that was not something one could easily endure.
However, after the initial moment, the pain subsided quickly.
Because of the Warm Mist!
Bai Ye had initially thought changing the Water Incantation to Warm Mist made little difference, but now he realized he had been too narrow-minded.
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 from Warm Mist should also occur continuously within the area covered by the mist.
This was the true value of Warm Mist!
However, this alone wouldn't be enough to deal with the Predator-Xenomorph. What was even more troublesome was that this mutated Xenomorph, born from its parasitic infestation of a Predator, seemed to lack the weaknesses of ordinary Xenomorphs. Its head was covered by a hard carapace, making it impossible to pierce easily.
He couldn't win a direct physical confrontation, and he couldn't find its weak spot...
"Sigh!" Bai Ye sighed, "I just wanted a good fight, but you're forcing me to cheat!"
With that thought, Bai Ye tossed out the gachapon machine.
Clang!
The massive gachapon machine landed on the ground, attracting the Predator-Xenomorph's attention. But the moment the Predator-Xenomorph turned its head, Bai Ye twisted the gachapon machine.
"Golden!"
Bai Ye directly consumed a Shard of God Stone, specifying a golden gacha.
Soon, with a flash of golden light, a golden gacha dropped from the machine.
Xuanyuan Sword (Xianjian) (Gold): One of the Ten Great Divine Weapons of the ancient era. Legend has it that it was bestowed by the Heavenly Realm to Emperor Xuanyuan to slay Chi You. It is on par with the Donghuang Bell, Pangu Axe, Refining Demon Pot, Haotian Pagoda, Fuxi Zither, 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).
Dao of the Sword (Summons a giant phantom of Xuanyuan Sword to attack).
Slay Demons and Exorcise Evils (Xuanyuan Sword can suppress all evil entities in the world. When facing evil beings, the sword's damage is doubled).
Spatial Tear (A single strike that shatters the void, attacking across dimensions).
Return of All Under Heaven (Xuanyuan Sword gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to unleash the ultimate sword strike. After the return of all under heaven, Xuanyuan Sword requires a period of dormancy).
Bai Ye looked at the pure gold sword that appeared before him, along with the information displayed on the screen, and bared his teeth.
It's over, it's over, the game is over again!
Items that appear in golden gachas are top-tier. However, even within the first tier, there are still differences in strength.
The Xuanyuan Sword, one of China's Ten Great Divine Artifacts passed down from ancient times!
This thing is definitely top-tier among the top-tier!
Bai Ye raised the sword and roared with laughter, "I want to fight ten of them!"
Bai Ye's laughter attracted the Predator-Xenomorph's attention. It instantly smashed through the machinery on its side and charged towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye twisted his waist and, without a word, raised the Xuanyuan Sword and swung it.
Instantly, golden radiance illuminated all directions!
With a slash!
A streak of golden sword qi appeared, cutting forward. Then came the sound of flesh tearing. The Predator-Xenomorph's arm flew off, tumbling through the air!
Xuanyuan Sword...
Unrivaled!
Seeing the Predator-Xenomorph retreat, Bai Ye didn't hesitate. He raised his sword again and performed a horizontal sweep.
That golden sword qi swept across the ground, and then the Predator-Xenomorph's two legs were severed at the knee. Its massive body crashed straight to the ground.
"Dao of the Sword!"
Bai Ye let out a soft shout and pointed the Xuanyuan Sword upwards. Immediately, the surroundings were filled with golden light.
Within that golden radiance, a giant phantom of Xuanyuan Sword was summoned and plunged downwards.
As the phantom sword struck, the Predator-Xenomorph let out a tragic cry, struggling desperately, but to no avail. The Predator-Xenomorph's flesh and blood, under the illumination of the golden light, disintegrated bit by bit...
Turned to dust!
