46: Chapter 46 One Against Two!

As Bai Li's cold command of "Kill" fell...

The Mechanical White Tiger let out a deafening roar. Its massive metallic body turned into a streak of silver lightning as it lunged at the Butcher, its maw full of fangs wide open.

Facing this oppressive beast, the Butcher didn't shrink back; instead, a bloodthirsty fanaticism erupted in his eyes.

As a rare Combat-type talent player, he enjoyed the thrill of real blades and head-on slaughter far more than hiding inside a heavy vehicle to fire guns and cannons.

"Bring it on!"

The Butcher let out a wild roar, his hands gripping the massive Broad-bladed war knife tightly. Without dodging, he hacked down fiercely at the incoming Mechanical White Tiger!

*Clang—!*

Sparks flew everywhere as the deafening sound of clashing metal rang through the night sky.

The Butcher's feet plowed two deep furrows into the hard stone ground. His muscles bulged as he actually managed to block the thunderous pounce of this steel behemoth through sheer physical strength!

Bai Li, perched on the tiger's back, narrowed her eyes.

Her legs exerted sudden force, her slender body tracing a graceful arc in the air. With a clean backflip, she landed steadily on a broken wall over ten meters away.

Bai Li's wrist flicked, and her silver Chain Blade turned into a venomous snake, thrusting toward the Butcher's throat from an incredibly tricky angle.

One tiger and one person, one far and one near, instantly formed a deadly pincer attack.

However, the Butcher's melee strength was outrageously powerful.

He brandished his heavy war knife with wide, sweeping strikes, each hack accompanied by a piercing whistle of wind.

Facing Bai Li's fierce offensive and the Mechanical White Tiger's violent biting, he didn't fall behind at all. Wherever his blade passed, it even forced the Mechanical White Tiger to retreat repeatedly.

*Clang!*

With a powerful sweep, the Butcher's war knife hacked into the white tiger's alloy front paw, producing a sharp *ting*.

Immediately after, he took a sudden step forward, holding his great knife horizontally to firmly wedge the tiger's claw.

Man and beast were locked in a violent struggle of strength in the middle of the ruins!

Blue veins bulged on the Butcher's arms, and his bones let out overburdened creaks. Holding back the tiger's gaping maw, he roared into the tactical microphone on his collar with exasperation:

"Fuck! Are you still not going to make a move?!"

Meanwhile...

At the top of a dilapidated clock tower a full kilometer away from the evacuation square.

A gloomy man with a black ID above his head was lying at the high vantage point.

District C-5, top Sniper, Eagle Eye.

Through his high-powered scope, he locked onto the Mechanical White Tiger struggling with the Butcher, a cruel sneer curling on his lips.

"Don't rush, the angle is just right!"

Eagle Eye's finger rested on the trigger, the crosshairs precisely aligned with the energy core in the white tiger's chest.

Then, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

*Bang!*

A dull yet lethal gunshot pierced the night sky.

Standing on the broken wall, every hair on Bai Li's body stood on end in that instant. An unprecedented sense of life-and-death crisis immediately enveloped her.

Relying on her top-tier combat instincts, she didn't hesitate for a moment and abruptly issued an evasion command to the white tiger.

"Dodge!"

The Mechanical White Tiger, still struggling with the Butcher, let out a roar and twisted its massive body to the side.

*Pfft!*

The supersonic Armor-piercing bullet whistled past with terrifying kinetic energy.

The bullet flew past the vital core and pierced through the white tiger's left front paw!

Sparks mixed with shattered metal parts flew in all directions.

Meanwhile...

Bai Li, on the broken wall over ten meters away, felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

"Ugh!"

She let out a muffled groan of pain.

Without any external contact, the sleeve of her left arm was instantly stained red with blood, as if an invisible bullet had ruthlessly pierced through her arm as well.

Human and tiger as one, shared damage!

Bai Li clutched her bleeding left arm and gritted her teeth. A cold glint flashed in her elegant yet chilly eyes. "Damn it!"

However, before she could even catch her breath...

*Bang!*

From high above, a second dull gunshot tore through the night sky again!

Another lethal Armor-piercing bullet came whistling through the air, aimed straight for the center of Bai Li's forehead.

"Get away!"

Enduring the intense pain in her left arm, Bai Li rolled backward while controlling the damaged Mechanical White Tiger to leap frantically to the side.

*Boom!*

The bullet missed, blasting the boulder Bai Li had been standing on into powder.

As rubble flew, Bai Li crouched on the ruins, her gaze sweeping toward the dilapidated clock tower a kilometer away with extreme gravity.

If she were only facing the Butcher...

No matter how perverted his melee strength was, Bai Li had absolute confidence that she could suppress or even kill him through her seamless cooperation with the white tiger.

But now, a high-level Sniper with extremely vicious marksmanship was actually hiding in the shadows!

A top-tier Berserker for a frontal assault, plus a Sniper taking potshots from the shadows.

This nearly unsolvable deadly combination instantly put Bai Li at an absolute disadvantage.

"Hahaha! Why aren't you being arrogant anymore? Keep it up!"

Sensing Bai Li's predicament, the Butcher pressed forward with his Broad-bladed war knife, a cruel sneer on his face.

Keenly catching the opening provided by the white tiger's damaged left front paw and impaired movement, he ignored Bai Li's Chain Blade and launched a storm-like assault on the tiger with his great knife.

*Clang, clang, clang—!*

The dense sounds of clashing metal echoed continuously across the square.

To guard against the cold shots that could come from the shadows at any moment, Bai Li and the white tiger were constrained in their movements. Facing the Butcher's reckless and frenzied hacking, they were soon pushed into a corner.

*Slash!*

Seizing a fleeting opening, the Butcher delivered a powerful downward hack, striking the white tiger's right hind leg joint!

"Argh!"

Intense damage backlash instantly traveled through the soul bond.

Bai Li's right leg trembled violently, and she fell heavily onto one knee in the ruins.

Blood wound its way down her long, pale thigh, staining the rubble on the ground.

Both human and tiger were covered in wounds, panting heavily.

Her beautiful face was covered in cold sweat and dust, but Bai Li's eyes, fixed on the Butcher, still held a bone-chilling coldness and defiance.

"It's over, ice queen."

Carrying his dripping war knife, the Butcher walked to within a few meters of Bai Li and looked down at her, his eyes filled with lust and brutality.

Licking his lips, he said grimly, "Once I've crippled your limbs, I'll teach you exactly how to serve a man!"

Just as the Butcher raised his knife, on the verge of completely severing Bai Li's ability to resist...

The ground suddenly began to tremble without warning.

*Rumble— Rumble—*

A low, suppressed roar of an engine, like an ancient beast growling in the abyss, slowly approached from the distance...
