With a loud clang!
The elevator wall was visibly dented. The woman spat out a mouthful of blood the moment she landed.
But at this moment...
The elevator dinged, arriving at the first floor. The woman quickly forced herself to lunge forward, stumbling out of the elevator.
"Make way, make way..."
The woman shoved aside the crowd at the elevator doors and fled forward.
Bai Ye curled his lips and gave chase immediately.
This was sin value delivered right to his doorstep; how could he let it escape?
Bai Ye swiftly pursued her out the door, but at this moment...
Bai Ye suddenly sensed something was wrong. He leaped backward, and then...
Rata-tat-tat, rata-tat-tat, rata-tat-tat...
Gunshots erupted abruptly, sweeping towards Bai Ye's direction. Immediately, the glass windows on both sides of the office building shattered, and the surrounding crowd screamed, either ducking for cover or fleeing in all directions.
Bai Ye rolled and dove behind the building's reception desk, looking at the terrified receptionist cowering beside him and saying with a smile, "Hi."
Seeing the pulse pistol in Bai Ye's hand, the receptionist shrieked and bolted as if mad.
Bai Ye touched his face, "Am I really that hideous?"
Bai Ye turned his head to look outside. Two men and one woman, a total of three people.
Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh. Was it necessary to team up to farm a boss? He was just a weak, pitiful, helpless child.
At the same time...
The three individuals at the office building entrance ceased firing. A burly man stepped forward and said, "Quick, go, go..."
The burly man shouted into the building, urging everyone inside to evacuate.
Meanwhile, the woman and another tall, thin man were outside the building, dispersing the onlookers who hadn't figured out what was happening and were still lingering.
The Order faction had its advantages, like being able to know the top ten highest sin value individuals in the Sin faction and obtaining clues to find them.
However, the Order faction also had its troublesome aspects, such as having many scruples and being unable to harm innocents. If they killed even one person in this office building, they would lose Order points, and if any excessively severe evil deeds occurred, they would face punishment.
Therefore, after ambushing Bai Ye at the entrance for a round, they dared not fire indiscriminately. Instead, they prioritized evacuating people to avoid accidental casualties.
However, Bai Ye had no such concerns...
Bai Ye suddenly stood up, raising his dual pulse pistols and pulling the triggers.
Bang, bang, bang...
A man in a suit screamed in pain, blood erupting from his back.
Screams rang out again as a chaotic crowd surged towards the exit. The burly man was jostled by the crowd. Seeing Bai Ye looking at him, he scrambled away to the side.
Bang, bang, bang!
Bai Ye continuously pulled the triggers, and streaks of azure light hit the ground, shattering it and sending up wisps of black smoke, but failing to hit their target. The burly man flipped over and ducked into a safety exit.
The other man and woman quickly moved to the building's entrance, guiding the crowd away, and then raised their guns, intending to charge into the building, but...
Bai Ye's counterattack was faster!
On Bai Ye's shoulder, the plasma cannon had finished charging. A beam of energy shot directly towards the entrance.
BOOM!
The plasma cannon's beam struck the ground with a deafening roar, instantly blasting a large pit with dense cracks extending outward.
The surrounding glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows were instantly shattered by the impact, scattering shards of glass everywhere.
The man and woman, having just reached the entrance, were forcefully pushed back before they could enter, tumbling and taking cover beneath the steps leading to the building.
Bai Ye walked forward, sneering, "Three insignificant pests dare to try and take sin value from me? Where did you get the nerve?"
At this moment, the burly man peeked out from the safety exit. Seeing Bai Ye emerge from behind the reception desk, with no cover, he raised his assault rifle, intending to fire at Bai Ye.
But...
Six Powers...
Soru!
Bai Ye's figure flickered, like a shifting shadow. The next instant, before the other could fire, he suddenly appeared in front of him and swept a kick, knocking the assault rifle from his hand.
The burly man was slightly stunned by the sudden change but reacted quickly. With his assault rifle kicked away, he immediately lunged at Bai Ye, attempting a throw.
Moreover, judging by his movements and stance, he was clearly trained, or had acquired relevant abilities on the world battlefield, like wrestling, sumo, or judo, all of which included throwing techniques.
But...
Excellent technique was utterly useless!
Because absolute strength was overwhelming!
The burly man quickly realized his predicament. Bai Ye's feet were rooted to the ground. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge Bai Ye.
This left the burly man incredulous. He was nearly two meters tall and weighed 120 kilograms. Bai Ye, in comparison, looked like a mere chick, at least two sizes smaller. And he couldn't even lift him!
The scene was utterly bizarre.
Then...
As the burly man stood there in disbelief, Bai Ye grabbed him by the back of his neck and slammed him against the wall. With a bang, the burly man's head immediately started bleeding.
Bai Ye didn't stop. He raised his fist, intending to strike again, but at that moment, the man and woman had already charged in, guns aimed at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye reacted just as quickly. He swiftly pulled the burly man up and used him as a shield, drawing his famous blade, Bloodthirsty, and placing it at his throat.
"Shoot," Bai Ye said with a smile. "Judging by your appearance, you must have just formed an alliance, with little affection for each other. Why not just shoot? Sacrificing one person to take me down would be very worthwhile."
The man and woman remained silent, their gun sights fixed on Bai Ye. As Bai Ye moved, they slowly adjusted their aim.
"So loyal," Bai Ye chuckled. "But do you think he won't die if you don't act?"
*Slash!*
Bai Ye exerted sudden force, and the famous blade Bloodthirsty sliced through the burly man's throat.
The burly man's eyes widened. He instinctively reached to cover his throat, but blood poured out uncontrollably.
And Bai Ye's figure vanished once more in that instant!
Soru!
Bai Ye's figure flickered, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the two. He simply swept his leg, knocking their assault rifles flying.
The man and woman reacted quickly, leaping backward to create distance from Bai Ye.
The next moment, they exchanged glances and spoke in unison!
"Beastification!"
"Steelification!"
