"Hmm?" Bai Ye heard the cries for help and looked to the side. "Are they fighting already?"
Bai Ye followed the sound and saw three summoned individuals ganging up on one, who, surprisingly, was someone he somewhat knew.
Jermas was covered in blood, with numerous wounds on his body. His face was pale and devoid of color as he leaned against a large tree, looking at the approaching trio in terror.
The next moment, Jermas's peripheral vision caught sight of Bai Ye. He immediately cried out in desperation, "Bai Ye, help me!"
The three summoned individuals attacking Jermas instantly shifted their gaze to Bai Ye.
Regarding Bai Ye...
The trio felt a degree of apprehension!
The first to arrive in the Demon Land, the first to reach the battlefield...
While it couldn't directly prove his strength, it certainly indicated something. Even if Bai Ye wasn't as strong as they imagined, he certainly wouldn't be too weak.
One of the summoned individuals gritted his teeth and looked at Bai Ye, saying, "Bai Ye, this has nothing to do with you. You'd best not meddle."
"Ah?" Bai Ye smiled and waved his hand. "No, no, you guys carry on. I'm just passing by."
As Bai Ye spoke, he gestured with his hand and leaned against a nearby tree.
Seeing this, Jermas's heart sank by half. The three attackers, however, remained vigilant. Although Bai Ye showed no intention of intervening, if he was just passing by, why was he lingering?
Bai Ye, on the other hand, seemed somewhat impatient and urged, "Hurry up."
The summoned individual who spoke earlier hesitated and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want?"
"I don't want anything," Bai Ye replied. "You just focus on your own business."
The summoned individual gritted his teeth. "Then leave."
"That won't do," Bai Ye said, nodding towards Jermas. "I'm not close with him. His life and death have nothing to do with me. However, your lives and deaths do have something to do with me. So, hurry up and finish what you're doing, and then we can all go our separate ways, alright?"
The three gasped, understanding Bai Ye's meaning.
Jermas's fate was irrelevant to Bai Ye, and he wasn't here to save anyone. However, they could kill Jermas, and Bai Ye could certainly kill them.
It was all for the God Stone fragments, no different.
One of the summoned individuals said sternly, "Bai Ye, aren't you being a bit too arrogant? Just you alone? There are three of us here!"
"Finish up quickly, and then we'll know," Bai Ye said with a smile. "How will we know if it's me who kills you, or you who kill me, if we don't try?"
The three showed hesitation, exchanged glances, and then one of them slowly began to retreat.
"It's useless. I already said I have no intention of saving him," Bai Ye said. "So, whether you retreat now or not, it won't change the fact that I'm going to kill you."
The summoned individual's face turned fierce. "Bai Ye, we've already shown you respect. Don't push your luck."
"This isn't one matter, but two. Never mind, it's a waste of breath..." Bai Ye suddenly shook his head. "Gengar, finish them!"
Suddenly, Gengar emerged from the shadows behind the trio, raised its arm, and conjured a Shadow Ball.
Bai Ye hadn't been spouting nonsense with the other party for no reason. It wasn't out of leisure but to draw their attention to himself, allowing Gengar to sneak behind them.
Boom!
As the Shadow Ball struck, a deafening roar echoed.
The ground was shattered, and under the violent impact, the three were instantly swept away by the blast wave.
In that instant...
Bai Ye leaped forward!
He swung his broadsword forward!
"Judgement!"
Demacia's might erupted as Bai Ye slashed down, a dazzling silver sword light bursting from the blade, instantly engulfing one of the summoned individuals.
With a *splat*, the summoned individual's body was cleaved in two by Bai Ye's sword. A large amount of blood spilled out, dyeing the surrounding vegetation red.
After the initial strike, Bai Ye didn't hesitate, leaping forward again, his broadsword swinging.
One summoned individual raised a crimson longsword, exclaiming, "Roar, Flame Demon Sword!"
He brandished the crimson longsword and forcefully slashed it forward.
As the sword's edge sliced through the air, flames blazed, forming an arc of fire that swung towards Bai Ye.
"A magic weapon you just acquired?"
Bai Ye's lips curved into a smile. He then raised his broadsword and swept it forcefully, instantly shattering the approaching arc of fire.
"In the end, it's just a blue-quality magic weapon!"
*Bang!*
Bai Ye stomped forward, raising his fist and punching ahead. A large amount of poison appeared, coalescing into a poisonous dragon that charged forward. Amidst the dragon's roar, it opened its massive maw and swallowed the opponent.
Then...
As the poison splashed onto the ground, the opponent's body reappeared from the toxic substance, completely devoid of flesh and blood, leaving only a skeleton standing there.
Bai Ye strode forward. As he passed by the skeleton, he casually swung his sword, smashing the bones into dust, and then approached the last summoned individual.
"No, don't..."
The summoned individual was already frozen in fear. While he had considered Bai Ye might be strong, he had never imagined Bai Ye could be this strong.
He was completely outmatched, unable to even withstand a single exchange!
"Spare me," the summoned individual pleaded. "Please, spare me."
Bai Ye nodded. "Alright, you can go!"
This reply left the summoned individual bewildered. Was he truly letting him go?
Bai Ye reiterated, "I said, I'm letting you go. So, why aren't you leaving yet?"
"Tha-thank you..."
The summoned individual snapped back to reality, quickly turned, and fled. But in that instant...
Gengar's wide, grinning face appeared before the summoned individual, followed by a full Shadow Ball being shoved directly into his face.
Boom!
As the Shadow Ball detonated, the man's body was instantly blown into pieces, turning into a pile of gore.
"You have killed a participant (Modern Civilization World)."
"You have obtained one God Stone fragment."
Bai Ye spread his hands. "I never said my summoned beasts would let you go, did I?"
After speaking, Bai Ye glanced at the luminous screen and couldn't help but curl his lips in disdain. Killing three for only one God Stone fragment, what rotten luck.
"Bai Ye, thank you!"
At this moment, a voice sounded beside Bai Ye. It was Jermas, clutching his wounds, who had come to Bai Ye's side.
"Thank me?" Bai Ye suddenly smiled. "No, you shouldn't be thanking me."
