Lan Xi immediately brandished the Scarlet Crystal Flying Sword in his hand!
The sword blazed, slashing forward, scattering flames and deflecting the pulse beams.
However, Lan Xi’s sword, though swift, could not match the speed of Bai Ye’s guns.
The greatest characteristic of the twin pulse guns was not their power, but their rate of fire; the extremely high firing speed made them impossible to guard against.
After a moment, Lan Xi could no longer keep up with Bai Ye’s shooting speed. The pulse beams continuously pierced through the flames of the Scarlet Crystal Sword, only to be blocked by the Heavenly Gang Battle Qi.
Around Lan Xi’s body, a nearly transparent curtain appeared. When attacked, it would seem to flicker in and out of existence.
However, it was evident that with each attack, this “curtain” was continuously thinning.
Bai Ye maintained his high-speed firing. The twin pulse guns had an automatic reload effect and could fire continuously until the energy cells were depleted.
Simultaneously…
Behind Bai Ye’s waist, the Steel Slime wriggled, and then a beast-taming ball was pushed out. It fell to the ground and opened.
No beast appeared, but the moment the beast-taming ball opened, a shadow appeared on the ground, stealthily crawling along the surface and circling around to flank Lan Xi.
On the other side, after continuously swinging his sword to no avail against the pulse beams, Lan Xi suddenly flicked his sleeve, and a talisman flew out.
“Heavenly Dry, Earthly坤!” Lan Xi whispered, and then, “Dragon Ascends the Four Seas!”
The flying talisman instantly ignited, followed by an explosion of golden radiance that scattered in all directions, illuminating the surroundings.
Roar!
A dragon’s roar suddenly erupted.
Within the golden radiance, two golden dragons, only as thick as an arm and as long, were formed. They soared before Lan Xi, appearing fierce and wild.
“Break!”
Lan Xi whispered and pressed his hand forward.
The next moment, the two golden dragons twisted, their scales shedding golden light as they surged forward.
The pulse beams, upon contact with the golden radiance, were shattered.
Lan Xi reached out and grasped the air, taking another flying sword from his inventory.
The sword, both its blade and hilt, was made of jade, inlaid with various colored gems, looking extremely beautiful.
“Meteor Style!”
Lan Xi threw the flying sword, about to form sword seals, when at that moment…
Bai Ye smirked and said, “Gengar, Sludge Bomb!”
Bai Ye struck before Lan Xi, having Gengar launch its attack first.
Instantly, Gengar leaped up from behind Lan Xi, hovering in the air with its arms spread wide.
Beneath Gengar, the ground suddenly began to churn, turning into a marsh. Then, spherical mud balls began to fly up.
The next moment, Gengar’s eyes glowed red, and the mud balls shot forward.
Bang, bang, bang…
Gengar’s appearance was very sudden, and Lan Xi was hit directly by the mud balls.
No, to be more precise…
The mud balls struck the Heavenly Gang Battle Qi enveloping Lan Xi’s body.
One mud ball after another exploded, turning into puddles and coating the Heavenly Gang Battle Qi. Subsequently, wisps of white smoke rose from the armor formed by the battle qi.
Gengar’s Sludge Bomb was also highly poisonous.
Lan Xi angrily swung his sword, and a surge of flame erupted, forming a crescent-shaped fiery sword energy that shot towards Gengar.
Bai Ye immediately said, “Retreat!”
Gengar quickly floated backward, phasing through a nearby building and disappearing inside.
The next moment, the fiery sword energy struck the wall, shattering it.
On the other side, Bai Ye glanced at his twin pulse guns and smirked.
Recharged.
Pulse Bomb (Sustained use of twin pulse guns, charging 1% pulse energy every 10 seconds. Upon reaching 100% charge, all pulse energy can be consumed to fire a Pulse Bomb that sticks to the target and deals explosive damage to all targets within a 3.5-meter radius).
Teleport!
Taking advantage of Lan Xi dealing with Gengar, Bai Ye directly teleported to a spot five meters away from Lan Xi.
Close-range shooting was naturally to ensure accuracy.
Bang, bang!
Bai Ye rapidly pulled the trigger, and the twin pulse guns glowed with a azure light.
Beneath the muzzles, two metal plates sprang open from the left and right sides, forming a circular plate, and then a ring of electrical arcs appeared above the plate.
The next moment, the metal plates shot forward and adhered to Lan Xi’s Heavenly Gang Battle Qi.
Lan Xi looked down and tried to rip the two metal pieces off, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t.
The electricity on the two metal plates intensified, crackling audibly.
Bai Ye decisively teleported back to his original position.
And then…
Boom!
A thunderous explosion suddenly erupted.
A large area of blue light appeared first, with arcs of electricity within, instantly engulfing Lan Xi, followed by the deafening roar of the explosion.
The sound was deafening, and upon its arrival, the ground instantly shattered, even collapsing downward, creating a large hole with a diameter of at least ten meters. The entire ground collapsed into the underground waterway.
Flames surged into the sky and scattered outwards.
Intertwined with smoke and arcs of electricity, crackling incessantly, the surroundings filled with the smell of burning.
Bai Ye grinned at the power.
Bai Ye had always felt that the twin pulse guns, as black-tier items, were rather underwhelming. As technological weapons, compared to ordinary firearms, they could fire with the power of a rifle and had excellent rate of fire.
But when it came to the prestige of energy weapons, it didn't seem very prominent.
Now, however, the twin pulse guns had finally shown Bai Ye their true power as energy weapons.
The destructive power of the Pulse Bomb was indeed terrifying.
However, the trigger condition for the Pulse Bomb was rather troublesome, requiring continuous firing to charge. It wasn’t suitable for continuous use of firearms in every combat situation.
For example, one could kite with a pistol at the start, but if the opponent forced close combat, one would have to abandon the gun and engage in melee, thus interrupting the charging.
Therefore, Bai Ye was only slightly surprised by the power of the Pulse Bomb.
These twin pulse guns were still mediocre when they needed to be.
A moment later, the black smoke and flames gradually dissipated, and the lingering electrical arcs began to decrease.
Then…
Lan Xi slowly emerged from the black smoke.
Lan Xi appeared somewhat disheveled. His clothes were scorched, and his hair, which had been tied up by a hairpin, was now loose. His left arm was injured, with blood dripping down his sleeve.
Despite the immense power of the Pulse Bomb, it had only inflicted minor injuries on Lan Xi.
However, Bai Ye’s objective had been achieved.
Lan Xi’s Heavenly Gang Battle Qi had been blown open!
