Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

Bai Yu's action caused the Ice Demon Beast to shift its gaze from Qi Ren to him.

It looked Bai Yu up and down, a hint of disdain flashing in its scarlet eyes.

"And who are you, little brat?"

As soon as the Ice Demon Beast finished speaking, the 'Evolution Belt' around Bai Yu's waist suddenly lit up with a blinding light.

The light was so bright that even the ice monster subconsciously raised its arm to block its view.

Immediately afterwards, a clear and powerful voice rang out: "Henshin!"

With this powerful declaration, Bai Yu slammed his hands down on either side of his belt!

With a flash of light, Bai Yu transformed in an instant!

A completely new form: the entire body is covered in silver-white bio-metal armor, the lines of which are smooth and full of power.

At the joints of the armor, the iconic red digital patterns of the Ancient Beast are inlaid, radiating a soft yet mysterious glow.

On its head, a pair of compound eyes constantly shifted with golden data streams, so deep they seemed to contain the mystery of 'the light of evolution'.

The Ice Demon Beast was shocked by Bai Yu's transformation, as was the little demon beast beside it.

Qi Ren wasn't surprised, but he was also a little curious: Brother Bai Yu had changed into a new form that he had never seen before.

"Kid, you..."

The Ice Demon Beast wanted to say something, but before he could finish speaking, a flash of silver light appeared before his eyes.

Bai Yu's figure appeared before it as if by teleportation.

The ice demon's pupils contracted sharply, leaving it no time to react.

"Bam—!"

A deep, muffled roar.

A powerful punch landed squarely on the ice monster's chest.

A terrifying force made the ice monster feel as if its sternum was about to shatter.

It let out a painful groan, and its body flew backward uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string.

"Boom!"

The ice monster slammed violently into the ice wall behind it, and the hard ice wall instantly cracked like a spider web, scattering countless ice shards everywhere.

The ice monster slid down from the shattered ice wall, kneeling on one knee and panting heavily.

After a while, the Ice Demon Beast raised its head. The previous contempt was gone from its scarlet eyes, replaced by deep fear.

How is that possible?!

How could a mere human brat possess such immense power?!

Then, anger overwhelmed its fear.

The ice monster's expression twisted into a ferocious grimace, and it squeezed out a few words from between its teeth: "You little brat, you'd better die!"

With a roar, the Ice Demon Beast spread its wings and charged rapidly toward Bai Yu!

"Frost Claws!"

The Ice Demon Beast let out an angry roar, and a chilling aura instantly condensed on its long claws.

Just as the ice monster's attack was about to land.

Bai Yu's figure suddenly vanished from the spot like a phantom.

"what?!"

The ice demon beast was startled, before it could even react.

The next second, Bai Yu's figure appeared above its head.

"boom--!"

A heavy stomp landed mercilessly on the ice monster's head, stomping it deep into the hard ice beneath its feet!

"Boom—!"

Centered on the Ice Demon Beast, the entire ice surface instantly shattered, with countless huge cracks spreading in all directions!

"Aaaaah—!"

A piercing scream came from the ice hole.

When the ice monster finally managed to struggle out of the deep pit, its whole body trembling.

It was met with another merciless and vicious kick from Bai Yu.

The Ice Demon Beast was kicked away again.

This time, its entire body was embedded in the ice wall.

Chapter 29: We must find a way to shoot it down from the sky!

Every bone in its body was groaning, and the Ice Demon Beast's consciousness was becoming somewhat scattered.

It stared in horror at the silver-white figure before it, its mind blank.

We can't win!

We absolutely cannot win!

What kind of monster is this brat?! How could a human possibly be...?

Yes, we need to capture more samples, especially that animal trainer; he must be hiding something...

The sudden, intense pain interrupted the ice monster's chaotic thoughts.

Bai Yu lunged forward, his silver-white iron fists transforming into a dense barrage of afterimages, raining down on the ice demon beast like a storm.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

With each punch, the ice monster's body sank deeper into the ice wall, sending shards of ice flying in all directions.

The agonizing screams were completely drowned out by the dull thuds of the blows.

"No... I can't die here... It's the king's... mission..."

The ice demon roared, channeling all its remaining power into its wings.

Click—!

Its icy wings suddenly spread open, forcefully shattering the thick layer of ice that imprisoned it!

"Get out of my way! Extreme cold blizzard!"

The ice demon roared, its attacks erupting almost at point-blank range!

The biting cold instantly engulfed Bai Yu's figure, and a layer of stark white ice crystals quickly condensed on his silver armor, causing Bai Yu's movements to stagnate for a moment.

But it was only for a fleeting moment.

The red stripes on the armored joints flashed, and the ice crystals evaporated instantly.

"boom!"

Bai Yu threw another heavy punch, but it only hit the empty ice wall!

The ice wall shattered, but the ice demon beast's figure transformed into a white shadow the instant Bai Yu's movements faltered, disappearing directly into the thick ice layer.

Want to run?

Golden data streams flashed rapidly in Bai Yu's compound eyes, instantly locking onto a high-speed energy trajectory beneath the ice.

He pushed off with his feet, and his whole body soared into the sky.

Boom!

A powerful kick shattered the ice layer on the ceiling, sending shards of ice raining down.

It's still too slow.

Without pausing for a moment, the trajectory sped straight toward the basement exit at an astonishing speed!

Bai Yu stared at the trajectory that was rapidly moving through the ice wall and thought to himself: This ability is really good for escaping. My speed in this form is already fast enough, but I am still a step slower than it.

In the one or two seconds that Bai Yu was thinking, the trajectory had already reached the exit of the basement and was about to enter the stairs.

We must continue chasing it; we absolutely cannot let it get away.

If a Digimon that can insanely prey on ordinary children is allowed to escape, who knows what kind of tragedy it might cause.

Bai Yu turned around and shouted to Qi Ren, "Qi Ren, I'm going to chase it. You guys continue rescuing people."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Yu rushed straight towards the exit of the basement.

After Bai Yu and Ice Demon Beast started fighting, Qi Ren, along with Guilmon and Impmon, continued to rescue people.

With no obstruction, and under the constant burning of flames by the two Digimon, most of the two icicles that had frozen the children had melted.

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Qi Ren immediately turned around and replied, "No problem, Brother Bai Yu!"

But all he could see was Bai Yu's back as she rushed into the stairwell.

Having just emerged from the cold basement, Bai Yu's compound eyes flashed with golden data, and his gaze quickly locked onto the white figure fleeing in disarray in mid-air.

Although the Ice Demon Beast's ability is strange, it is ultimately just an ability similar to 'ice escape'.

Once it leaves the icy environment it created, its abilities become useless.

At this moment, the Ice Demon Beast was desperately flapping its wings, and the sharp pain in its chest made its flight somewhat unsteady.

As it flew, it glanced back, still shaken.

At that glance, it spotted a silver-white figure running towards it at an astonishing speed on the street not far away.

"Damn it! Why is this brat still chasing me!" The Ice Demon Beast's expression instantly twisted with rage, and it let out a furious curse.

The Ice Demon Beast is now severely injured, its flight speed is far slower than normal, and it is even struggling to maintain its altitude.

At their current speeds, it's only a matter of time before Bai Yu catches up with the Ice Demon Beast.

However, the Ice Demon Beast flies in the sky, while White Feather runs on the ground.

The sky was vast and empty, without any obstructions.

The ground was filled with pedestrians, vehicles, buildings, and all sorts of obstacles.

The Ice Demon Beast only needs to change direction slightly in the air, and Bai Yu will have to go around it on the ground.

This is why, despite having the speed advantage, Bai Yu was always left behind by the Ice Demon Beast and could not catch up for a long time.

He could only watch helplessly as the distance between himself and his goal widened again and again with each detour, only to desperately try to catch up again.

"Damn it!" Bai Yu cursed inwardly.

"No, we can't keep following them like this!"

"If we keep letting it lead us by the nose like this, it'll get away sooner or later!"

"We must find a way to shoot it down from the sky!"

Bai Yu's gaze swept rapidly around, and an object standing by the crossroads caught his eye.

It was a straight traffic light with three bulbs: red, yellow, and green.

In an instant, Bai Yu made a decision.

"I didn't mean to damage public property," Bai Yu mentally defended himself.

The next second, Bai Yu's high-speed running figure suddenly braked, leaving two clear scratches on the ground.

Under the astonished gazes of several pedestrians around him.

Bai Yu reached out and grabbed the traffic light pole, followed by a teeth-grinding metallic creak.

The traffic light was forcibly twisted off and pulled out!

This scene completely terrified the passersby who were still reeling from the shock of "Silver Superman".

Bai Yu naturally ignored the reactions of those passersby who looked like they'd seen a ghost.
