Bai Ye gritted his teeth.
That punch had packed a punch, and this was a body 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 Huai Nan's tomb."
"Your ability seems to be body enhancement?" 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 startled.
A Fire-chewer grenade!
Boom!
Three Fire-chewer grenades suddenly exploded beneath the man's feet, and raging flames erupted, engulfing him.
"Ah..."
Flames wrapped around the man's body, and he immediately cried out in agony, struggling desperately, smashing into the surrounding trees, trying to extinguish the flames on him.
And in that instant...
Bang!
Bai Ye pushed off with both legs and lunged towards the opponent, his serrated blade lowered, vibrating rapidly.
Then...
The moment he reached the opponent, Bai Ye raised the serrated blade and swung it down forcefully.
A tearing sound of flesh and blood suddenly echoed, followed by an arm flying through the air, scarlet blood spraying out and dyeing the grass on the ground red.
Bai Ye curled his lips. The opponent's body was only enhanced, not turned into steel. Strength and speed might have increased significantly, but defense was another matter. Moreover, even if the body could become as hard as steel, ordinary steel would be as brittle as tissue paper in front of a high-frequency serrated blade.
Pfft!
The next moment, Bai Ye swung his blade again with force.
A flash of cold light streaked by.
The screams abruptly ceased!
The serrated blade swept across the man's neck, and then his head tumbled to the ground.
Thump!
The headless corpse fell backward, blood gushing out.
Bai Ye shook the blood off his blade, then returned to the man who had fainted from pain and raised the serrated blade.
"Since your most important little brother is gone anyway, let me put you out of your misery!"
Pfft!
Bai Ye thrust the serrated blade down forcefully, piercing the man's heart in one go.
The man's eyes snapped open, his lips twitching. He struggled to reach out and grab Bai Ye's pant leg, then slowly released it, completely lifeless.
Having dealt with both of them, Bai Ye even turned over their bodies to see if they had anything good on them.
Unfortunately, Bai Ye found nothing. The world battlefield had only opened not long ago, and the members of the Hidden Dragon Society had hardly ventured across regions. Bagu Mountain might have been the first forbidden zone for these people, meaning the Hidden Dragon Society members hadn't even made their first score yet.
Bai Ye could only give up, hoist his weapon, and continue on his way.
He continued along the mountain path and after about half an hour, Bai Ye arrived near the entrance of the mountain path.
Although they were some distance away, Bai Ye was sure 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 magazine for his Reaper's Strike, climbed a large tree, set up his rifle among the treetops, secured it with a strap, and observed the mountain path entrance through the high-power scope.
There were eight people in total. Five of them 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, exposing their location.
"Eight people, and you want to rob me?" Bai Ye scoffed. "Alright, let the game begin!"
Bai Ye adjusted the scope, made some corrections, then supported the rifle, aiming the muzzle at one of the men's heads.
But, the next moment...
Bai Ye suddenly curved his lips, a strange smile appearing.
The muzzle of the Reaper's Strike slowly lowered, aiming at the opponent's knee, and then...
Bang!
Bai Ye pulled the trigger. Immediately, a bloom of blood burst from the man's knee, and the man 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 a second time.
Bang!
The second shot rang out, and the second man's calf was pierced by Bai Ye's shot. He cried out and fell to the ground.
After two consecutive shots, the opponents finally reacted.
The men who had been smoking grabbed their companions, trying to drag them behind the slope, but at this moment...
Bang!
Bai Ye pulled the trigger a third time!
This time, Bai Ye showed no mercy, aiming directly at the man's head. As the gunshot echoed, through the scope, a bloody hole appeared 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 men at the mountain path entrance, upon hearing the gunshots, also retreated backward immediately.
Seeing the three men lying in a pool of blood, they looked anxious and quickly moved towards them, not noticing that Bai Ye's rifle, through the scope, had already locked onto one of them. He slowly moved the muzzle, and then...
Bang!
Bai Ye pulled the trigger again. The middle-aged man walking at the front fell straight backward.
Headshot, killed instantly!
"Sniper!" someone shouted, "Scatter, scatter quickly, find cover!"
The four men quickly leaped away, hiding behind the slope, cautiously shrinking their bodies.
Bai Ye smiled without a word. Killing all eight people cleanly with a sniper rifle was not a simple task.
After all, this was a forest area with cover everywhere. The advantage was that the opponents couldn't easily find Bai Ye, but the disadvantage was that they also had many places to hide. Being able to eliminate half of them at once was already an unexpected bonus, as the opponents' reaction was slightly slower than Bai Ye had anticipated.
However...
"Will hiding save you?"
Bai Ye slowly moved the rifle muzzle again, aiming at the two men he had previously injured in the legs.
Bang!
Bai Ye fired. The bullet hit one of the men's thighs. The man immediately cried out in pain, curling up, his hands trying to reach his wound but fearing further pain, so he just clawed at the air.
The four hiding men froze. Were there survivors?
And at this moment...
Bang!
The gunshot rang out again.
This time, another surviving man began to scream. Bai Ye hit him with a shot, but it wasn't a fatal vital point. Instead, he aimed at the man's buttocks.
"Bastards!"
The four hiding men suddenly 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?
...
