As the monster leaped into the air, a pitch-black shadow happened to fly in from above, colliding with its body.

The sound of flesh being crushed by machinery made the three onlookers grind their teeth.

Afterward.

The heavy motorcycle skidded across the street, leaving scorch-black marks, stopping at the roadside with a gush of steam from the exhaust pipes at the back.

The monster was in a more miserable state.

It was directly knocked back dozens of meters.

The already grotesque body became even more mangled and bloody.

It was simply unbearable to look at.

However, this collision only alleviated the crisis for the three, without actually inflicting much harm on the mutated monster.

Because each of these mutated monsters was incredibly tenacious in life force.

A blunt impact, without accompanying blood qi damage, was almost never enough to kill them.

Baiyu never thought to use just a mud truck to kill it.

Clack.

The car door opened.

He pulled a sturdy man out of the car, asking, "Is it them?"

This man.

It was the bounty hunter captain previously holding the great sword, staying behind to cover retreat.

When he was about to die, at a life-or-death moment, Baiyu happened to pass by and saved his life, and also learned a lot of firsthand information from him.

"Yes, it's them! Thank you, sir, for saving us."

The man expressed his gratitude.

Baiyu waved his hand, his gaze turning towards the far end of the street.

The mutated monster struggled to get up, revealing pale bone fangs.

Roar!

A furious sound emanated from its mouth, filled with a putrid stench.

Only to see the monster crouch its legs, using the recoil of its muscles, exploding forward like a heavily compressed spring, charging viciously.

With Baiyu's sharp sight, he could see the monster's movements clearly.

His eyes narrowed, blood qi surging, his bones creaked, and at the moment the monster lunged at him, he rotated ninety degrees, skillfully evading the attack.

Then his right toe lashed out like a snake, explosive blood qi concentrated at this point.

"Snake Tail Strike!"

This was one form of the Myriad Beasts Battle Technique.

Although Baiyu hadn't used it in a long time, using it now, it still didn't seem rusty.

In fact.

The Myriad Beasts Battle Technique was the most perfectly summarized martial arts technique by the East Prosperity Imperial.

Every move within it was extremely coordinated, covering all aspects, with virtually no weaknesses.

It could be used in all situations.

Of course.

Having no weaknesses also meant that this battle technique had no particularly outstanding strengths.

Its purpose in design was to be all-encompassing, broadly applicable, suitable for anyone's cultivation.

It's not as powerful as the spirit techniques from the Qiong Family that Baiyu received from Qiong Meng through the Dream Bell.

So ever since he left his student days behind, Baiyu rarely used the Myriad Beasts Battle Technique.

In fact.

He preferred to end battles quickly with overwhelming force.

If the opponent were stronger, he might directly use forbidden armament or forbidden spirit techniques in a sweeping motion.

But to deal with such a mutated monster, the Myriad Beasts Battle Technique was more than sufficient.

This kick landed right in the monster's heart.

It was kicked away like a soccer ball, crashing into the wall on the street side, and then the blood qi that Baiyu infused into it exploded rapidly within its body.

Boom...

Like a watermelon splitting open.

The monster was blown apart, leaving only a splash of blood on the wall.

Aside from Lu Ya, the other four were all extremely shocked.

The monster that almost claimed their lives was killed by this young man with just one move.

Such a disparity, it was simply too large.

"Alright, the monster is dealt with.

You'd better quickly find a place to hide, the farther from the explosion site, the better.

This isn't a simple mutation incident."

Baiyu said aloud.

He was already preparing to head over to the Qiong Ning Commerce in the Outer City District, to shelter from this crisis while conveniently helping ensure the commerce's safety.

These explosions occurred in the Inner City District.

Nowadays, whether it's the Heart Fire Wolves or these mutated phenomena, they all appear around the explosion area.

The Outer City District, in contrast, has become the safer place.

The bounty hunter captain quickly thanked him and then hurriedly took out hemostatic medicine for his two injured brothers.

Baiyu saw this and was about to leave.

When a glimpse from the corner of his eye caught sight of a woman shrinking away towards the corner.

So familiar...

He frowned and strode over to the woman.

Next to him.

The captain and the two males, Xu An and Tian Ao, tensed up just watching the scene.

They all understood.

In such a situation, women, particularly beautiful women, could encounter anything.

If the other party had devious intents, they wouldn't have any ways to resist.

Moreover.

Ziyue had even disguised her face, but her figure and aura were still extremely outstanding.

In such a situation.

It was hard not to think in a negative way.

"Sir, she's one of my team members, you..."

The bounty hunter team captain was about to speak, but Baiyu gestured for him to stop.

In that pause.

He had come face to face with the woman, as her expression slowly changed, the surprise and amazement on his face grew stronger.

Finally.

Baiyu finally saw her face clearly, a hint of joy appeared on his face, "Lan Ziyue?"

It wasn't someone else.

It was Baiyu's former classmate, Lan Ziyue.

Just that after the Zenith City incident, they utterly lost contact.

Unexpectedly, their reunion would be under such circumstances.

"Are you really Baiyu?"

At first, Lan Ziyue was in doubt, thinking she might have mistaken someone else.

But now.

Hearing him call out like that, she instantly confirmed his identity.

"Yes, I didn't expect we'd meet under such circumstances."

Baiyu smiled and then turned his attention to the group, pondering, "Are these your friends? Then hop in, we're heading to the Outer City."

Lan Ziyue opened her mouth but hesitated.

She wanted to refuse, but in the present situation, refusal would be toying with a few lives.

Following Baiyu would be much safer.

Yet within her, a stubbornness inexplicably arose.

Even Lan Ziyue herself didn't know where this stubbornness came from.

Was it because of the gulf-like disparity between them back then?

Or her unwilling-to-lose spirit?

Ultimately.

The group of four got in the car.

"Uncle, you're hopeless, letting such burdens get in the car!"

Lu Ya looked at the injured Miao Ao and Xu An with disdain.

Xu An and Miao Ao looked embarrassed.

Especially Xu An, although the martial artist's powerful flesh healing ability and earlier use of medicine had stopped the bleeding.

But the mental trauma of losing an arm was difficult to heal.

At this moment.

Being rebuked by a little girl made him wish to die from embarrassment and grief.

"If you don't want to be thrown out, shut up."

Baiyu glared at her, and Lu Ya wisely shut her mouth.

Then.

The motorcycle roared to life in the darkness, departing amidst the chaotic noises of the city.
