"Kill him!"
Liu Shiyue roared in anger, and then the Jade Dragon lunged at Bai Ye with bared fangs and brandished claws.
Bai Ye remained unmoved, merely glancing up at the sky.
Thunderclap (a supersonic shockwave generated by breaking through the air with lightning, repelling approaching attacks)
Currents appeared before Bai Ye, spreading out in all directions like a barrier!
Then...
With a thunderous boom!
The moment the Jade Dragon swooped down, the currents before Bai Ye surged wildly. Immediately after, the massive Jade Dragon was sent flying, crashing onto the ground with countless fine cracks appearing on its body.
Seeing that the Jade Dragon was ineffective, Liu Shiyue immediately produced another flying sword.
"Crimson Thunder Shadow, Slash!"
It was a flying sword with a crimson body, entwined with red lightning. As it streaked through the air, streaks of snake-like red lightning tore across the sky.
Bai Ye shook his head, thinking this guy must be truly scared out of his wits.
Using a lightning-attribute flying sword against him was pure madness. Anyone with even a passing intellect would know that anything related to lightning could pose no threat to Bai Ye.
With a casual reach of his hand, Bai Ye caught the crimson flying sword.
The crimson currents entwined around the sword were directly absorbed into Bai Ye's body. Without the currents, it was merely an ordinary sword. With a twist of his wrist, Bai Ye bent the blade into a "U" shape.
Then...
Bai Ye looked up, gazing at Liu Shiyue with a playful expression.
Liu Shiyue fumbled around for something. It had to be said, as the vice-leader of the Hidden Dragon Society, this guy truly had many good items.
After all, by virtue of his position, Liu Shiyue could pocket anything that caught his eye.
However, having good things was one thing; being able to use them was another.
Liu Shiyue was clearly a typical "management" type, similar to Stathum of the Evil Spirit Gang. As the leader of the Evil Spirit Gang, Stathum had no shortage of good things.
But in Bai Ye's previous life, Stathum, as the leader of the Evil Spirit Gang, was only famous. His strength wavered between second and third-rate, and that was with the help of the vast array of good items he possessed as the gang's leader.
Ability wasn't solely defined by combat prowess, but Liu Shiyue clearly couldn't fight. He had very little combat experience, usually only responsible for giving commands. Now, he couldn't even find something properly from his inventory.
Seeing Liu Shiyue's flustered state, Bai Ye didn't want to delay any longer. Letting this guy keep throwing out items would be quite troublesome.
As Liu Shiyue took out a beast-taming ball, Bai Ye suddenly transformed into lightning and appeared before him.
Bai Ye didn't give Liu Shiyue a chance to throw the beast-taming ball, instead grabbing his right hand, preventing him from releasing it.
"Goodbye!" Bai Ye said, "Farewell!"
On Bai Ye's arm, the Steel Slime continuously wriggled, quickly transforming into the Thunderfang Fury Beast.
Then...
*Pfft!*
Bai Ye thrust the sword forward, cleanly piercing Liu Shiyue's body.
Liu Shiyue's pupils contracted. He opened his mouth, and blood continuously flowed out.
"Let..."
*Pfft!*
Liu Shiyue opened his mouth, but Bai Ye gave him no chance to speak. With a flick of his wrist, the Thunderfang Fury Beast tore through Liu Shiyue's body. Accompanied by the sound of tearing flesh and blood, large amounts of blood splattered out.
*Thump!*
Liu Shiyue's legs went weak, and he directly knelt on the ground before falling and losing consciousness completely.
"You have killed a participant (Modern Civilization World)."
"You have obtained nine God Stone Shards."
"Your Navy Kill Count: 171"
Bai Ye glanced at the information displayed on the light screen and couldn't help but want to complain. Liu Shiyue was truly pathetically weak.
Nine God Stone Shards?
Even if Bai Ye was incredibly unlucky and drew the lowest 20% God Stone Shards, Liu Shiyue had too few God Stone Shards.
But this was understandable. Liu Shiyue could acquire other items, but God Stone Shards required completing missions or killing people.
Even if others wanted to give these to Liu Shiyue, it wasn't easy to manipulate. Therefore, the number of God Stone Shards, in a way, reflected strength.
But it certainly wasn't the primary measure of strength. Bai Ye didn't have that many God Stone Shards either, but that wasn't because he used them excessively; he drew from the gacha at least one God Stone Shard a day.
Secondly, the number converted from the Navy Kill Count was only 17...
This was a chicken among weaklings!
Bai Ye had killed more than 17 Navy soldiers with a single lightning strike.
It was truly unfair for Jin Sha to die at the hands of such a person. No, Jin Sha likely didn't die by Liu Shiyue's hand; Liu Shiyue wasn't worthy of killing Jin Sha.
It could only be that Liu Shiyue had given the order to kill Jin Sha, so Jin Sha holding Liu Shiyue accountable was reasonable.
However, regardless of the circumstances...
Bai Ye took out the Future Diary phone Jin Sha had given him and tossed it, saying, "I've avenged you. We're even now!"
At the same time...
On the rooftop of a distant building, Lilith suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the Future Diary phone in Bai Ye's hand.
"Is it him?"
Behind Lilith, a black rift appeared, and Situ Cheng stepped out.
Situ Cheng bowed respectfully, "Yes."
Lilith said, "Retrieve the Life Crystal."
"As you command!"
Without any further words, Situ Cheng threw out a flying sword and leaped up, transforming into a streak of sword light that pierced the void.
Meanwhile, Bai Ye, having dealt with Liu Shiyue, finally felt relieved. He had fulfilled his promise to Jin Sha, and the next step was to end the Summit War.
The rewards from the large forbidden zone were truly generous, but Bai Ye wasn't particularly interested in the Summit War at the moment.
After speaking with Taiyi Zhenren face-to-face, Bai Ye's current interest lay in the truth of the world battlefield, and those gods!
The existence of the world battlefield seemed more complex than Bai Ye had imagined. Therefore, could the God Tower that entered the central area truly allow one to leave the world battlefield?
This was a question Yimi had once posed, one that Bai Ye had always been unwilling to consider, even resisting it.
It was like asking someone if they were willing to donate nine hundred thousand if they had one million; you'd say yes.
But if asked if you were willing to donate nine thousand if you had ten thousand, you wouldn't.
Because you truly had ten thousand.
Bai Ye had entered that tower before, even reaching the door.
Bai Ye couldn't deny all of this, because if he did, what would his previous life's efforts have been for?
Were all his efforts a joke?
