After finishing the poker cards, Bai Ye clasped his hands together, and immediately, the Frost Sword flew into his palm.
Sword Illusion Frost (Transforms into ice and frost, randomly inflicting freeze, frostbite, and slow effects on targets within a 3-meter radius)
Sword Illusion Frost was useful, but not *that* useful.
A circular area with a diameter of six meters wasn't small, but it wasn't enough to cover the space on Bai Ye's flanks horizontally, forcing opponents to charge through the frost.
Freeze, frostbite, and slow were all potent negative effects, but their strength depended on the intensity of the effect itself. Sword Illusion Frost's three effects were all merely at a basic level; while potent, their inherent strength wasn't high.
However, the Frost Sword itself was only a blue-quality flying sword. For a blue-quality item, the Frost Sword was already above average. What more could one ask for!
As Bai Ye spread out the frost, the man and woman charged at him.
The man's fist came flying, and Bai Ye didn't even look, taking the punch directly.
*Bang!*
The fist struck Bai Ye's body, forcing him back half a step, but only half a step!
Bai Ye was more concerned about the woman!
As expected, after Bai Ye took the punch head-on, the woman's saber was upon him.
In that instant, Bai Ye had a strong feeling that he needed another weapon. After the Frost Sword transformed into frost, he was left without a weapon in his hand!
Facing the woman's blade, Bai Ye reached out and made a grasping motion to his side.
More than a dozen poker cards flew towards Bai Ye, forming a line and transforming into a poker knife.
*Clang!*
Bai Ye swept the poker knife forward, clashing with the opponent's saber.
The poker knife was instantly shattered, but it managed to deflect the opponent's saber.
But in that instant...
The mechanism of the saber whirred again, and a narrow blade suddenly sprang from within, stabbing Bai Ye in the lower abdomen.
Bai Ye's pupils constricted sharply. The woman yanked her blade out, drawing a spray of blood.
Bai Ye clutched his wound, retreating continuously, blood seeping through his fingers.
The woman sneered, "You chose this yourself. You insist on seeking death!"
As she spoke, the woman prepared to swing her saber at Bai Ye again, but at that moment...
"Yaa~"
Goodra stepped in front of Bai Ye, its head tentacles whipping forward, smashing against the woman's saber and forcing her back.
Even so, Bai Ye's injury invigorated everyone else, and they renewed their charge, pushing forward against the constantly flying poker cards and swirling frost.
One man, seemingly to taunt, deliberately approached Bai Ye, intending to rush past him, a mocking expression on his face. Trying to stop everyone by himself? Seeking death!
But at that very instant...
Bai Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed the man's shoulder.
"Did I agree to let you pass?"
Bai Ye roared, then violently lifted the man and slammed him to the ground.
*Bang!*
The man hit the ground, and just as he was about to counterattack, Bai Ye's foot stomped down towards his head.
The ground made a dull thud, cracking open, and then the man's head sank halfway into it. As for the remaining half, Bai Ye smashed it to pieces.
"Goodra!" Bai Ye shouted, "Meteor Beam!"
As the words "Meteor Beam" left his lips, the surrounding crowd felt like cursing.
Again?
Meteor Beam, a large-area, high-power move, was incredibly unfair to use on a bridge. Other than creating distance and retreating out of its attack range, there was no other way.
The best strategy would be to defeat Goodra before it could use Meteor Beam, thus preventing its activation.
However, Goodra's greatest strength wasn't its offense, but its defense!
Still, there was a weakness to exploit: the charge-up time!
Some people were still hesitating, or looking for places to dodge, but some were decisive, charging forward, intending to rush through during Meteor Beam's charge-up time.
But...
Bai Ye directly took out the last three decks of poker cards and flung them forward.
Instantly, poker cards flew everywhere, controlled by Bai Ye's Paper God ability, swirling outwards and blocking the path.
Then...
Bai Ye gritted his teeth and charged forward.
Sharp pain shot from his abdomen, but the injury didn't make Bai Ye retreat; instead, it made him...
ferocious!
*Bang!*
Bai Ye closed in on one of the opponents, grabbed their head, and before the person could react, slammed their head against a car parked nearby.
A dull thud echoed as the car's front end was dented. In the next moment, Bai Ye reached out, and the Frost Sword flew into his hand.
*Puff!*
With a swift movement, Bai Ye plunged the sword into the opponent's chest, pinning them.
Having killed one person instantly, Bai Ye showed no signs of stopping. He immediately raised the corpse and threw it towards the surrounding crowd.
The crowd scattered, but Bai Ye surged forward at that moment.
A woman saw Bai Ye charging at her and quickly raised her hand in a gun gesture, saying, "Finger Gun!"
*Bang!*
The woman mimicked a gunshot with her voice, and it was as if an invisible bullet had materialized from her hand, piercing Bai Ye's shoulder.
A splash of blood erupted, making Bai Ye stagger!
But Bai Ye's speed did not diminish!
Bai Ye forcefully endured the pain, closing in on the woman, reaching out and grabbing her throat.
*Bang!*
Bai Ye slammed the woman against a car on the side, and while she cried out in pain, he forcefully twisted her neck.
*Crack!*
A crisp bone-cracking sound rang out as the woman's neck was snapped.
"Bastards!"
The leader of the Hidden Dragon Society roared in anger. Bai Ye had killed two people in quick succession, both from the Hidden Dragon Society!
Moreover, they thought that with Bai Ye injured, they could finally push through, but instead, the blood and pain had ignited Bai Ye's ferocity, making him fight even harder!
He exchanged a glance with the woman from the trio, and they both charged at Bai Ye again, but...
"Earth Charm!"
Bai Ye produced a talisman and tossed it to the side. The moment the two reached him, an earth wall erupted from the ground, launching Bai Ye upwards. He then leaped over them and charged directly behind them.
As Bai Ye advanced, countless poker cards followed, slashing forward.
A man held up a riot shield to defend himself, and the continuous slashes of poker cards produced crisp sounds.
Once the sound of poker cards hitting the shield finally faded, the man cautiously peered out and was instantly horrified.
Bai Ye had already reached him.
*Puff!*
Bai Ye, holding the Frost Sword, pierced through the man's side neck.
