Bai Ye made his way to the engine room at the bottom of the cabin, and after unzipping his backpack, prepared to plant the bomb.
But the moment Bai Ye stepped down the iron ladder...
*Clang!*
At that instant, the iron door leading to the engine room suddenly slammed shut with a "bang."
Bai Ye immediately turned around, reached for the doorknob, and tried to open the door, but it was locked tight.
Bai Ye took two steps back and kicked the iron door. It was then...
A burst of light erupted.
A talisman mark appeared on the iron door. When Bai Ye kicked the door, the talisman glowed, pushing Bai Ye back, while the iron door remained unmoved.
Bai Ye couldn't help but grin, "Interesting."
Bai Ye turned, grabbed his mountaineering backpack, and walked forward.
The engine room was empty, with no sign of anyone.
"Not coming out?" Bai Ye said, "Locking me in here won't stop me from completing my mission, and do you really think you can keep me contained?"
Bai Ye waited for a short while, receiving no response. He decided to walk forward.
In the current situation, Bai Ye could only think of one possibility: the chosen one from the Order faction had made a move.
They hadn't chosen to ambush him in the apartment but had arrived on the ferry a step ahead.
*Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...*
Crisp footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.
There were many obstacles around, consisting of machinery, providing ample hiding spaces.
As Bai Ye walked forward, a dark shadow suddenly appeared above his head, and then...
Two fair arms slowly emerged from the shadow.
A female ghost with disheveled hair appeared behind Bai Ye. She suddenly dropped down, hanging upside down from the ceiling, and her hands fiercely grabbed Bai Ye's throat, attempting to lift him up, and then...
An embarrassing situation arose...
The ghost's strength was insufficient to lift Bai Ye.
Bai Ye stood there, completely unmoving!
Bai Ye looked up at the pale face with blood-red tears and directly grabbed the ghost's hair, yanking her down from the ceiling.
The ghost wore a ferocious expression, extending her sharp nails and baring her fangs. But before she could even get up from the ground...
*Bang!*
Bai Ye stomped directly on the ghost's head, crushing it instantly.
The ghost's body instantly turned into black smoke and drifted backward.
"Trying to escape?" Bai Ye conjured a talisman, flicked it, and said, "Thunderclap!"
The talisman quickly burned, transforming into a bolt of lightning that struck forward. The black smoke was instantly dispersed.
A painful wail was heard. Amidst the crackling electricity, the black smoke completely vanished into nothingness.
Dao magic was undoubtedly highly effective against malevolent spirits.
Bai Ye looked around with disdain, saying, "Using such trifles to try and kill me, isn't that a bit too naive?"
"That was just an appetizer. Of course, I don't think this level could kill you."
This time, Bai Ye received a response. A voice suddenly echoed from the surroundings.
"Hmm?"
Bai Ye frowned. The voice sounded somewhat familiar.
And the moment the voice faded...
Suddenly, a sound of breaking air arose.
A dark shadow flashed in the air, and two throwing stars flew towards Bai Ye from the side.
Bai Ye put down his mountaineering backpack, quickly drew his famous sword, "Bloodthirst," from his waist, and swept it forward forcefully.
*Clang, clang!*
Clear clashing sounds rang out. The two throwing stars were knocked away by Bai Ye. But in that instant, a sense of imminent danger struck.
Bai Ye instinctively leaped to the side.
*Bang!*
The moment Bai Ye leaped away, a gunshot rang out. Immediately after, a large hole was blasted open in a piece of machinery, the metal structure being pierced directly by a shot.
"It's him?"
Bai Ye had a vivid memory of the high-powered sniper rifle. If he wasn't mistaken, this was the person who had sniped him at the police station. Judging by the location of the bullet impact...
Bai Ye began to run rapidly, leaping quickly over the machinery placed to the side, and moving to the walkway on the other side.
Indeed, someone carrying a sniper rifle was moving to the side.
"Ningshuang!" Bai Ye called out in a low voice, "Sword Control!"
*Clang!*
The Ningshuang sword was unsheathed, transforming into a silver streak of light that flew forward.
The opponent suddenly turned back, holding a black .50 caliber sniper rifle. He swung it forcefully, deflecting the incoming Ningshuang sword.
However, the moment the Ningshuang sword was deflected, Bai Ye rushed forward.
*Bang!*
Bai Ye delivered a flying kick, violently striking the opponent's chest and sending him flying backward.
With a *clang*, the man's body flew backward, smashing into a piece of machinery and denting its metal exterior significantly.
And then...
Bai Ye's expression froze. It took him a while to regain his senses.
"Why is it you?"
"Surprised?" Jemas climbed up from the ground, grinning, "Curious why I'm not dead?"
Bai Ye frowned, pondered for a moment, then looked up sharply. "You're in cahoots with Li Jia Yi. When the Pig Head Emperor attacked, it was you who shot while I was fighting Li Jia Yi. Later, when you were robbed was also a setup, all to kill me, right?"
Jemas laughed, "I originally thought we had some prior connection, and you'd come to my rescue."
"And then you could stab me in the back, is that it?" Bai Ye paced forward. "No wonder in the Land of Monsters, you were always trying to get close to me, trying to pry information from me. When we were on missions, you even wanted to cooperate with me. If I'm not mistaken, Li Jia Yi was able to maintain the initiative because you were constantly gathering intelligence in the Land of Monsters and sharing it with him. Am I right?"
Jemas said, "Is it a bit too late to say this now?"
"That's right. The past truly holds no meaning." Bai Ye glanced at Jemas, then looked around. "Where is that guy Li Jia Yi? Not coming out?"
Jemas replied, "It's just me. I have his ticket to the City of Sin!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Bai Ye's gaze returned to Jemas. "What's your intention? From the looks of it, it's not just about the mission in the City of Sin."
Jemas grinned, "Of course, it's to kill you!"
The moment Jemas finished speaking, he suddenly raised his sniper rifle and pulled the trigger in Bai Ye's direction.
However, Bai Ye's reaction was extremely fast. He saw Jemas's shoulder twitch slightly out of the corner of his eye and knew the guy was about to make a move. Anticipating it in advance, he dodged to the side before Jemas could even fire!
