Jin Sha didn't waste any words, quickly pulling Alex towards the door.
But just as they were about to step out…
*Bang!*
Jin Sha felt a sharp blow to the head, instantly sent flying by a punch. She landed on the ground, stars dancing before her eyes, a gash on her forehead bleeding.
"Come with me!"
A muscular man in a tank top grabbed Alex's shoulder, gesturing for him to get into a car parked nearby.
Alex didn't care, shrugging and walking towards the car.
As long as he left this city, who rescued him…
Did it make a difference to Alex?
Jin Sha gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, shouting, "Stop!"
The burly man turned around, a submachine gun in his hand, and unleashed a barrage of fire towards Jin Sha.
Jin Sha reacted quickly, diving to the side and taking cover behind a car. She then pulled out a beast-taming orb and threw it.
"Scizor, hold the line!"
A flash of white light, and a mantis-like beast appeared. Facing the incoming gunfire, it continuously swung its scythes. Then, a series of clangs echoed as the bullets were all deflected by Scizor's scythes.
"Oh? So you're from the Beast Taming World? Come to think of it, I haven't gotten my first kill on a chosen one from the Beast Taming World yet. I'm really tempted to take you down right here." The burly man pulled out a grenade and rolled it under the car. "Pity, I have more important things to do now. I'll let you off the hook for now!"
Jin Sha heard the rolling sound of the grenade and quickly stood up, sprinting forward, then leaping.
*Boom!*
The next instant, an explosion rocked the area.
With the blast, the entire car was thrown half a meter into the air before crashing heavily back to the ground, erupting in flames.
Meanwhile, the burly man got into his car and sped away.
Jin Sha rolled to dissipate the force, then pulled out her plasma cannon to aim. But then she remembered something and quickly put it away.
If she fired, the target would be blasted to smithereens, along with the car. But the problem was, Alex would likely be obliterated too. Then no one would be able to complete the mission, because a dead Alex delivered out of the city wouldn't count as a successful mission.
"Scizor!" Jin Sha yelled, "Follow them!"
Scizor nodded, unfolding its insectoid wings and flying swiftly into the air, pursuing the car.
Jin Sha then turned to Rattata. "Rattata, you wait here for Bai Ye!"
After speaking, Jin Sha quickly opened a car door and drove off.
At the same time…
Bai Ye had been firing for a while. Since it was pitch black, Bai Ye didn't know if he had hit anyone and stopped shooting to listen for any sounds.
But then…
Bai Ye suddenly saw a cold glint flash past him!
A katana swept by his chest, mere centimeters away. Immediately after, Bai Ye swiftly grabbed the attacker's arm.
"Trying to engage in close combat with me?" Bai Ye grabbed the attacker by the collar and lifted him up. "Are you worthy?"
With his body enhanced by the T-virus and his abilities strengthening his physique, Bai Ye was extremely confident in his current physical prowess. With both factors combined, all his stats except intelligence had exceeded one hundred. His physical capabilities were ten times that of a normal adult human, and Bai Ye was not afraid at all.
Then…
*Bang!*
After lifting the person, Bai Ye directly smashed him into a nearby table.
With a crash, the table instantly shattered into pieces.
The attacker, enduring the pain, got up and darted to the side, attempting to disappear back into the darkness.
Bai Ye snorted and raised his fist. "Phoenix, Fiery Phoenix!"
Flames wrapped around Bai Ye's arm as he punched forward, transforming into a pillar of fire.
The fire advanced, and many areas of the bar began to burn. Besides the wooden tables and chairs, the potent liquors also contributed to the conflagration.
With the illumination from the flames, Bai Ye finally got a clear look at his opponent.
"A ninja?"
It was a scrawny man, rather short, completely clad in a black tight-fitting suit. A hood covered his head, leaving only his eyes visible. In his hand, he held a gleaming, sharp katana.
Seeing that he could no longer escape into the darkness, the ninja immediately turned and charged at Bai Ye again, raising his sword.
As the opponent lunged, Bai Ye flicked his wrist, a playing card falling into his palm and flying forward.
The ninja's reaction was incredibly fast. He blocked the playing card with his katana held horizontally in front of him.
But…
Taking advantage of the moment the opponent was parrying the card, Bai Ye surged forward.
"Still as a virgin, swift as a hare!"
Bai Ye closed the distance, then delivered a powerful kick to the ninja's chest, sending him flying back. Before the ninja could recover, Bai Ye grabbed a round table from the side and slammed it down with force.
*Bang!*
The ninja quickly curled up his body and used his foot to prop up the descending table, then thrust his katana upwards.
The katana was no ordinary weapon; it easily pierced the tabletop, grazing Bai Ye's cheek as it passed.
Bai Ye glanced at the blade that had grazed his face, then forcefully twisted the table. The ninja immediately felt an excruciating pain in his wrist and involuntarily let go of his katana. Bai Ye then tossed the table aside, along with the ninja's sword.
Without his weapon, the ninja's bare fists and feet were no match for Bai Ye. After shoving aside the ninja's arm, Bai Ye grabbed his clothes and dragged him to the wall, then…
*Bang!*
Bai Ye forcefully slammed the ninja against the wall.
After the impact, the ninja, writhing in pain, was still grabbed by his clothes and lifted up again.
"How did you find this place?" Bai Ye said with a smile. "Did you follow the Royce family's car?"
The ninja didn't answer, struggling fiercely. Then…
A fierce look appeared in the ninja's eyes. He suddenly tore open his right sleeve, revealing a short dagger that fell into his hand. He then lunged towards Bai Ye's abdomen.
But just as he was about to succeed…
*Slap!*
Bai Ye raised his hand and slapped the ninja across the face, disorienting him. The ninja's body swayed, and the trajectory of his dagger attack naturally shifted, grazing Bai Ye's body as it passed.
Bai Ye stepped forward and, while the ninja was still dazed, grabbed his hood and forcefully dragged him to the wall, smashing his head against it without hesitation!
*Bang!*
After a muffled thud, the ninja lay on the ground, his face covered in blood.
The next moment, Bai Ye squatted down, grabbed the ninja's wrist, and twisted it, forcing the dagger in the ninja's hand to stab towards the ninja's own chest.
