Beyond the iron gate at the front, there was an open space before the investigation bureau.
The clearing was already in a mess, with everyone tearing into each other.
Despite being a conflict between two factions, it wasn't that simple.
The Order faction needed to cooperate to keep the Sin faction outside the investigation bureau, while the Sin faction aimed to break into the bureau.
However, individuals from the Order faction also faced obstruction from others within their own faction, as the winner would be the one who first returned the Joker to his detention cell.
Similarly, though the Sin faction charged forward together, if someone found an opportunity, they would also be attacked by their own kind. For those in the Sin faction, the first to take the Joker away from this place would be the victor.
Bai Ye didn't stop, striding forward. He then fiercely swung Yong Zhen Nan Huang.
Bang!
Yong Zhen Nan Huang swept out, and two chosen individuals were swept away by the gust of wind, falling aside.
A man sat on the ground, cursing at Bai Ye, "Watch where you're swinging, we're on the same side!"
Bai Ye sneered, "So what?"
Clang, clang, clang…
The moment Bai Ye spoke, he shook Yong Zhen Nan Huang. The chains wrapped around it began to loosen, clattering with a crisp sound.
The next instant, Bai Ye grabbed the chain and hurled Yong Zhen Nan Huang forward with great force.
The wind howled!
Faced with the sudden Yong Zhen Nan Huang, the people ahead scattered. Until a man felt the gust, turned around, and it was too late to dodge…
Bang!
Yong Zhen Nan Huang slammed fiercely into the man's chest. The man spat out a mouthful of blood, his body propelled backward by Yong Zhen Nan Huang until he hit the investigation bureau's gate. With a loud crash, the man was smashed to death against the door.
"You have killed a combatant (Martial World)."
"You have obtained a fragment of a God Stone."
Killing one person with a single strike, Bai Ye didn't pause. He yanked the chain and swept Yong Zhen Nan Huang outwards.
Bai Ye paid no mind to the people around him, whether they were from the Order or Sin faction. After all, to complete the mission, everyone was an enemy.
Having forced the crowd back, Bai Ye strode forward, ignoring them, intending to enter the investigation bureau directly.
But at this moment…
"Let's stop him together first!"
Someone shouted. Immediately, the chosen individuals around them revealed ferocious glints in their eyes. Whether from the Order or Sin faction, they all surrounded Bai Ye.
Bai Ye grinned, "I think you're looking to die!"
As Bai Ye spoke, purple venom began to seep from his body.
Drip, drip, drip…
Droplets of venom continuously fell from Bai Ye's body, hissing as they touched the ground.
After a while, a skinny man's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he was the first to charge towards Bai Ye.
"Ghost Step!"
The man's speed was incredible. As he charged, afterimages trailed behind him, and with irregular movements, many figures of the man suddenly appeared before Bai Ye, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
Then…
Behind Bai Ye, the air seemed to twist, ripples suddenly appearing. The skinny man's figure then appeared there eerily.
The skinny man grinned, raising a kukri. He felt joy in his heart.
He had him!
But just as the kukri was about to strike…
"You're too slow!"
The moment Bai Ye spoke, a silver gleam suddenly appeared. It was the Condensation Frost Sword, unsheathed and transforming into a sword light. Before the opponent's kukri could fall, it pierced through his throat from bottom to top, then shot out from the back of his head.
A splash of bright red blood instantly splattered.
Thump!
The man's eyes widened, his body falling backward, crashing to the ground.
At the same time, Bai Ye took a step forward, bent slightly, and bared his teeth in a smile.
A smile that was…
Somewhat monstrous!
"Don't blame me for not warning you. If you don't want to die, get out!" Bai Ye said, looking around, then spreading his hands. "It seems no one is willing to accept my advice!"
The next instant, Bai Ye spread his arms!
In a flash, a gurgling sound emanated from Bai Ye's body. A large amount of venom poured out of him, spreading wildly in all directions from Bai Ye as the center.
Then…
With a roar!
A fountain of poison erupted from behind Bai Ye, then scattered outwards.
The falling venom continuously took shape, forming a ten-meter-tall skeleton. Its mouth opened and closed, displaying a sinister smile to the crowd!
Poison Colossus (A colossal skeletal soldier formed from venom, capable of large-scale attacks. Upon contact, it causes corrosion by poison, gradually draining life force)
Bang, bang, bang…/
As Bai Ye strode forward, the Poison Colossus followed, each step kicking up large amounts of venom that splashed outwards, drenching the surrounding crowd.
Some people showed looks of horror, desperately trying to wipe the venom off their bodies, only to soon discover that being doused with it didn't seem to matter. They were perfectly fine.
"This kid is bluffing, he's not even…"
The man shouted loudly, pointing at Bai Ye, but he didn't even get to finish his sentence before his pupils constricted wildly. He stared incredulously at his arm.
His arm withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly becoming emaciated.
And the arm was just the beginning.
The man began to feel weak, unable to muster any strength. He stumbled and fell to the ground. Layers of wrinkles appeared on his skin, his body becoming incredibly gaunt, his flesh seemingly vanished, leaving him a mere skeleton covered in skin. Finally…
He breathed his last!
This was the ultimate kill move of the Venom-Venom Fruit, the venom could directly strip away…
Life force!
The surrounding crowd couldn't help but show looks of terror, especially those who had come into contact with the venom. They looked at their bodies in fear, afraid they would become mummified like the man before them in an instant.
And at this moment…
Snap!
Bai Ye snapped his fingers!
The next instant, the Poison Colossus behind Bai Ye began to collapse. Its body suddenly turned into a large pool of venom, spilling onto the ground. After hitting the ground, it quickly churned and rose like waves, surging outwards in all directions, engulfing the surroundings.
The people around them were filled with dread and turned to flee.
