A palm tipped with pale bone spikes tore through the air, aiming straight for the hearts of the two Genetic Modifiers.
However, neither of them was a pushover. Since Lin Yizhou had sent them to carry out this mission, their strength was naturally considerable.
Spikes like a porcupine's suddenly sprouted from one man's body, blocking the incoming White Bone claw. Bone spikes scraped violently against sharp quills, bursting into a shower of sparks.
The other raised his arms and crossed them before his chest. His arms rapidly shrank and changed color, turning in an instant into two mantis blades gleaming with cold light.
Bang! Bang!
The porcupine and mantis staggered several steps back, successfully defusing Bai Ye's surprise attack.
The reason they had managed to do so was because Bai Ye had not activated Four-Times Speed.
He could not waste time on fodder—not even 0.1 seconds.
The strongest Hidden Rat had yet to appear. If he used up all his time on minor enemies, how would he deal with the Hidden Rat?
Bai Ye raised a hand and lightly swept it across his face. A pair of black-rimmed glasses with a metallic sheen appeared on the bridge of his nose.
Glowing green numbers frantically flickered across the lenses before finally settling on 5739 and 6028.
The mantis had 5739 Blood Qi, while the porcupine had 6028!
Together, their Blood Qi nearly reached three times Bai Ye's. Yet combat was not a contest of numbers. It was not simply whoever had more Blood Qi who won.
If it were, there would be no need to fight. Before a battle began, they could just compare Blood Qi, and the weaker side could surrender outright.
What did combat depend on?
Of course, it depended on crushing the enemy with equipment! What else, skill?
