Bai Ye bared his teeth.
That punch had been strong, and his body had been reinforced by the T-virus.
At the same time...
The man strode towards Bai Ye and said, "Kid, if you don't want to suffer, hand over the treasure you got from the King of Huainan's tomb."
"Your ability seems to be physical reinforcement?" Bai Ye shook his head and chuckled, "So, you rely on that body to make a living, but I'm sorry, I don't!"
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, the man suddenly felt like he had stepped on something. He looked down and was instantly shocked.
Chewer grenade!
Boom!
Three Chewer grenades suddenly exploded beneath the man's feet, and flames erupted, engulfing him.
"Ah..."
Flames wrapped around the man, and he screamed in pain, struggling and crashing into the surrounding trees, trying to extinguish the fire on his body.
And at this moment...
Bang!
Bai Ye's legs pushed off the ground, and he lunged at the opponent. The serrated blade in his hand drooped and vibrated rapidly.
Then...
The moment he reached the opponent, Bai Ye raised the serrated blade and slashed down with all his might.
The sound of flesh tearing suddenly rang out, followed by an arm flying through the air, bright red blood spraying out and dyeing the grass a crimson hue.
Bai Ye smirked. The opponent's body was merely reinforced; it hadn't become steel. Their strength and speed might have increased significantly, but their defense was uncertain. Moreover, even if their body could become as hard as iron and steel, ordinary steel would be as brittle as dry paper before a high-frequency serrated blade.
Puff!
The next instant, Bai Ye swung his blade again with force.
A cold glint flashed.
The screams abruptly ceased!
The serrated blade swept across the man's neck, and then his head tumbled down, hitting the ground.
Thump!
The headless corpse fell backward, blood flowing out.
Bai Ye flicked the blood off his blade, then returned to the man who was in agony, raising the serrated blade.
"Since your most important little brother is gone anyway, let me free you!"
Puff!
Bai Ye thrust the serrated blade down with force, piercing the opponent's heart in one strike.
The man's eyes snapped open, his lips twitching. With difficulty, he reached out and grabbed Bai Ye's pant leg, then slowly released it, completely falling silent.
After dealing with both of them, Bai Ye even rummaged through their bodies to see if they had anything valuable.
Unfortunately, Bai Ye found nothing. The World Battlefield had only opened not long ago, and the members of the Hidden Dragon Society rarely ventured across domains. Mount Bagua might have been the first restricted area these people had encountered, meaning the Hidden Dragon Society members hadn't made any gains yet.
Bai Ye could only give up, picked up his weapon, and continued on his way.
Following the mountain path forward, after about half an hour, Bai Ye arrived near the entrance of the mountain path.
Even though he was some distance away, Bai Ye was certain there were people at the mountain path entrance.
Because, through the gaps in the trees, he could see wisps of smoke drifting.
Bai Ye took out the Death's Strike gun case, then climbed a large tree. He then set up his rifle among the treetops, secured it with a strap, and observed the mountain path entrance through the high-powered scope.
There were a total of eight people. Five were scattered at the mountain path entrance, and three were a bit further back, huddled together smoking. The smoke Bai Ye had seen earlier was from these three revealing their location.
"Eight people, and you think you can ambush me?" Bai Ye sneered. "Then, let the game begin!"
Bai Ye adjusted the scope, made some corrections, then cradled the rifle and aimed its muzzle at a man's head.
But, in the next instant...
Bai Ye's lips suddenly curled into a rather sinister smile.
The muzzle of Death's Strike slowly lowered, aiming for the opponent's knee, and then...
Bang!
Bai Ye pulled the trigger. Instantly, a splash of blood bloomed from the man's knee, and he cried out in pain, falling to the ground.
The man's two companions looked on in shock. Before they could react, Bai Ye pulled the trigger for the second time.
Bang!
The second shot rang out, and the second man's calf was pierced by Bai Ye's bullet. He let out a scream and collapsed to the ground.
After two consecutive shots, the opponents finally reacted.
The men who were smoking grabbed their companions, trying to drag them behind the hillside, but at this moment...
Bang!
Bai Ye pulled the trigger for the third time!
This time, Bai Ye was merciless, aiming directly for the opponent's head. As the gunshots rang out, through the scope, he saw a bloody hole appear in the man's head. After a wisp of blood dispersed in the air, the man fell straight down.
Bai Ye shifted his body slightly, moving the rifle's muzzle a bit towards the mountain path.
The five people at the mountain path entrance, hearing the gunshots, immediately retreated.
Seeing the three men lying in pools of blood, they looked anxious and quickly moved towards them. However, they didn't notice that Bai Ye, through the scope, had already locked onto one of them. He slowly moved the rifle's muzzle, and then...
Bang!
Bai Ye pulled the trigger again. The middle-aged man walking at the forefront fell straight backward.
A headshot, killed instantly!
"Sniper!" someone shouted. "Scatter! Quickly scatter! Find cover!"
The four quickly dodged and hid behind the hillside, cautiously curling up.
Bai Ye smiled silently. Killing all eight people cleanly with a sniper rifle was not a simple task.
After all, this was a forested area, filled with cover. The advantage was that the opponents couldn't easily find Bai Ye, but the disadvantage was that they also had plenty of places to hide. Eliminating half of them at once was already an unexpected bonus. The opponents' reaction was slightly slower than Bai Ye had anticipated.
However...
"Hiding will save you?"
Bai Ye slowly moved the rifle's muzzle again, aiming at the two men he had injured earlier.
Bang!
Bai Ye fired. The bullet hit one man's thigh, and the man immediately cried out in pain, curling up. He wanted to reach for his wound with his hands but feared more pain, so he could only flail them in the air.
The four hiding men were stunned. Were there survivors?
And at this very moment...
Bang!
The gunshots rang out again.
This time, another surviving man began to scream. Bai Ye's shot hit him, but it wasn't a vital spot. Instead, it was aimed at his buttocks.
"Bastard!"
The four hiding men finally understood what Bai Ye was doing.
Bai Ye was asking them...
Your companions are still alive...
Are you going to come out and save them?
Or are you going to abandon them?
...
