So, when transacting the Ruby Scepter, Jin Xiangchuan was already a dead man in Bai Ye’s eyes!
Facing such a predictable future enemy, Bai Ye naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to let him grow stronger.
Jin Xiangchuan gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you the King's Scepter, don't you want it?"
Bai Ye smiled and said, "Of course I want it, but would you really give it to me?"
Jin Xiangchuan asked, "Can I trade it for my life?"
"What do you think?" Bai Ye shook his head. "Or, what if I say yes, would you believe me?"
Jin Xiangchuan fell silent.
Of course, Jin Xiangchuan didn't believe that Bai Ye would spare him after handing over the King's Scepter.
In fact...
Bai Ye certainly wouldn't spare Jin Xiangchuan!
If he could truly obtain the King's Scepter, Bai Ye would have even more reason to kill Jin Xiangchuan. Because the enmity would be immense, and from then on, every moment Jin Xiangchuan grew stronger would become his motivation to kill Bai Ye.
Would Bai Ye create a potential enemy for himself to constantly watch him?
Of course not!
Bai Ye understood the principle of cutting the grass by the roots.
If Jin Xiangchuan didn't hand over the King's Scepter, he would die!
If Jin Xiangchuan handed over the King's Scepter, he would die even more!
"Ah!"
Jin Xiangchuan clearly understood this as well. He suddenly roared, veins bulging on his neck, and swung his saber towards Bai Ye.
In his final moments, Jin Xiangchuan unleashed his ferocity, wanting to drag Bai Ye down with him.
But...
*Puff!*
That saber never landed.
The moment Jin Xiangchuan raised his saber, he felt a sudden tightness in his chest, his internal organs convulsed violently, and his legs went weak as he knelt on the ground, coughing incessantly. The blood that fell to the ground was, astonishingly, black.
Jin Xiangchuan looked at his severed arm. The skin around the wound was black, and that blackness was already spreading to other parts of his body.
Bai Ye raised his broadsword and said, "I forgot to tell you, I'm quite skilled with poison!"
As Bai Ye spoke, he forcefully brought his broadsword down.
*Puff!*
A flash of silver!
Jin Xiangchuan's head fell to the ground.
"You have killed a participant (Particle Energy Civilization World)."
"You have obtained six fragments of the God Stone."
Bai Ye looked at Jin Xiangchuan's head, which had rolled to the side, and murmured, "Particle Energy Civilization World? This guy is from a technologically advanced world, similar to the Predators. No wonder his strength was so great and he had so many technological weapons."
After murmuring, Bai Ye's face showed joy again.
Six fragments of the God Stone!
Although Bai Ye's killing of Jin Xiangchuan had nothing to do with the God Stone fragments, who would complain about having too many?
Moreover, Jin Xiangchuan's strength was not weak. If Bai Ye hadn't ambushed him, severed his arm first, and severely wounded him, it would probably not have been so easy to take down Jin Xiangchuan.
Therefore, it was predictable that Jin Xiangchuan would have many God Stone fragments on him. Either he was unlucky and wouldn't get any, or if he did, the quantity wouldn't be small, because having more God Stone fragments on him meant a higher potential for what he could obtain.
The final acquisition of six God Stone fragments was quite beyond Bai Ye's expectations, exceeding his predictions. It made Bai Ye want to immediately go on a spree and use the God Stone fragments to exchange for a golden gacha to play with.
While thinking, he closed the light screen. He glanced at Jin Xiangchuan's corpse again, and Bai Ye suddenly thrust his sword into Jin Xiangchuan's chest once more, then severed all of Jin Xiangchuan's limbs.
It wasn't due to any deep-seated hatred that required such an action. It was because of Li Jiayi's "resurrection" that had alerted Bai Ye. To prevent Jin Xiangchuan from having any resurrection or fake death items, Bai Ye made sure he was truly dead.
Bai Ye had always been ruthless towards those he had crossed. Otherwise...
Just look at Li Jiayi. As long as neither side perished, the enmity would only deepen.
Therefore, Bai Ye even waited by the corpse for nearly half an hour. Only when he was certain that the man could no longer stand up did he rise and enter the canyon.
There were no pig-headed men in the canyon, and Bai Ye passed through smoothly.
After passing through the canyon, he was not far from the plain, which served as the main battlefield.
"About three hours!"
Bai Ye stood on a hillside, looking into the distance. After estimating the time, he leaped down the slope.
"Garen!" Bai Ye roared, raising his broadsword. "Judgement!"
In mid-air, Bai Ye held his broadsword high!
The blade emitted a golden radiance, and the moment he landed, Bai Ye forcefully slashed his broadsword forward.
*Boom!*
The broadsword struck the ground with a thunderous roar. In the next instant, the ground shattered, countless rocks flew through the air, and cracks spread everywhere.
Ripples of sword light appeared, constantly spreading outwards, cutting down the surrounding pig-headed men. As long as they touched the sword light, their bodies were cleaved in two.
In the blink of an eye, that group of pig-headed men had all become corpses.
"You assisted the Demon Country against the Pig-Headed Demon Army, killing one hundred Pig-Headed Demons. You received a reward: a random physical attribute permanently increased by 10 points, God Stone fragments x1."
After killing that group of pig-headed men, Bai Ye had finally completed Mission One, reaching one hundred kills of pig-headed men.
A permanent increase of 10 points to a physical attribute...
Bai Ye was not picky about this. His initial attributes were relatively balanced because, at the time, Bai Ye was weak in every aspect. Therefore, after the T-virus strengthened his body, his attributes grew in a balanced manner. The Five Spirit Disk also did not play favorites; each time spirit gathering was completed, all attributes except intelligence were strengthened.
Since there was no particularly outstanding area, it was fine to receive any attribute randomly.
Finally, when Bai Ye looked at the light screen, he found that the ten points had been allocated to Strength.
That was fine too. Strength was definitely a fundamental requirement for combat, which was good.
Bai Ye wiped away the light screen and continued to move forward.
The further east he went, the sparser the trees became, indicating that Bai Ye was getting closer to his destination.
When Bai Ye climbed a small mountain, thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
Bai Ye couldn't help but look up. The sky was extremely gloomy, with large dark clouds covering it, pressing down so low it felt as if one could reach out and touch them. Simultaneously, faint blue lightning flickered within the clouds, resembling long dragons.
Immediately after...
Bai Ye looked ahead!
What appeared before Bai Ye was a vast plain. At this moment, countless pig-headed men stood there, formed into formations, a dense black mass that seemed endless, exuding a strong sense of oppression!
