This is a soul-stirring interrogation.
The screams echoed relentlessly, piercing the ears and twisting the heart.
But everyone knew what would happen if anyone dared to go out and save them!
Those two survivors...
It wasn't that Bai Ye couldn't kill them, but he deliberately left them alive!
Bang!
The gunshots rang out once more. The four hidden figures felt their hearts momentarily stop, then, as expected, the screams resumed.
A woman peeked her head out from the side.
The next instant, the man lying in the pool of blood seemed to grasp at a lifeline, shifting his body and reaching out towards the woman.
"Save me, save me, please, save me..."
The woman's face showed pain, but just as she was about to rise, a sturdy man beside her pressed down on her shoulder.
The stout man shook his head at the woman. They didn't know Bai Ye's location, and to stand up now would be suicide.
However, the woman's emotions seemed to be collapsing. She said angrily, "This guy is a devil, a scoundrel, a lunatic! He's doing this on purpose. He could kill them, but he's not. He's deliberately tormenting them, and he's tormenting us too."
After the woman's furious roar, she suddenly stood up from behind the slope and, extending her hand in a random direction, said, "Air Wave!"
A faint, almost transparent sphere suddenly appeared. It shot into the woods, hitting a large tree and instantly snapping it. The power seemed quite formidable.
"Too bad," Bai Ye said with a smile, "wrong direction!"
Bang!
Bai Ye pulled the trigger again. However, due to the woman's hysterical movements, this shot only hit her shoulder blade.
The woman screamed and clutched her shoulder.
The stout man from before quickly reached out, trying to pull her back, but...
Bang!
The gunshot sounded again. This time, Bai Ye accurately hit the woman's head. A large amount of blood splattered out, splashing the stout man's face.
The stout man stared blankly for a moment, then looking at the woman's corpse, he roared in anger, "Scoundrel, scoundrel, scoundrel!"
The other two also fell silent, turning their heads away, unable to bear to look at the corpse.
Bai Ye re-aimed and murmured, "Angry? In pain? Want to kill me? Then come out. How can you kill me if you don't come out?"
After speaking, Bai Ye pulled the trigger again.
Bang!
The bullet hit the man in the pool of blood in the back. The man screamed again.
However, the screams were noticeably weaker than before. Due to excessive blood loss, the two men were breathing their last, extremely weak, and even moaning was a luxury.
But this only made the pain of the three survivors even greater.
They were watching him kill them one by one with gunshots right before their eyes!
"Scoundrel, scoundrel, scoundrel..." The stout man pounded the ground in anger, then shouted, "If you have the guts, come out and fight us! What kind of coward hides like this?"
Bang!
The next gunshot was a response to the stout man's roar. However, Bai Ye's shot once again hit the man in the pool of blood.
The man no longer had the strength to even groan, only his twitching body proved he was still alive.
"I can't take it anymore!"
A man roared, suddenly leaping out from the slope. He moved in a zigzag pattern, rushing towards his two companions, trying to drag them to a blind spot on the slope.
But...
"That's more like it. Vent your anger, and then..." Bai Ye pulled the trigger and said, "Say hello to King Yama for me!"
Bang!
The moment Bai Ye pulled the trigger, the gunshot sounded again.
As the man reached the pool of blood and grabbed the arms of the two, blood splattered from his head, and he fell to the side.
"To the left!" The stout man's eyes widened, and he suddenly shouted. He leaped out from behind the slope, jumped onto the hillside, and said, "He's to the left!"
The remaining two leaped onto the hillside and entered the forest, then ran quickly.
Bai Ye observed the two through the scope. He had to admit, they were quite skilled, employing irregular movement patterns and using the abundant trees in the forest for cover. It wouldn't be easy for Bai Ye to hit them.
Of course, Bai Ye still held the advantage. If one shot wasn't enough, there would be two. If two weren't enough, there would be three...
Bai Ye had the geographical advantage and plenty of opportunities to fire. The opponents, on the other hand, would be finished with just one hit from Bai Ye. Furthermore, they only knew Bai Ye's general direction, not his precise location. After all, the Death Strike had a camouflage effect, making it difficult to pinpoint Bai Ye.
However, Bai Ye suddenly straightened up and began to disassemble the scope, loosening the mounting strap, and leisurely stowing the rifle back into its case. He jumped down from the tree.
Without the camouflage of the Death Strike, Bai Ye was immediately exposed to the two. The stout man, slightly further away, immediately adjusted his direction and charged towards Bai Ye. As for the other man, he was coincidentally running towards Bai Ye's position.
"Beastify!"
The opponent didn't hesitate. He roared, and fur suddenly grew on his body. His nails continuously transformed into wild beast claws, and his speed abruptly increased as he flew towards Bai Ye.
At a distance of about three and a half meters, the man suddenly leaped up, raising his claws.
Bai Ye, however, held his rifle case and stood under the tree without moving, as if he were stunned.
Then...
As the opponent fell...
Pfft!
A flash of silver suddenly appeared from the side, piercing the man's throat and exploding in a mist of blood in mid-air.
The man's eyes widened as he fell from the sky, his eyes glaring. He died without understanding what had happened. The Ning Shuang Sword then flew back to Bai Ye's side, hovering beside him.
Bai Ye put down the rifle case, drew his Serrated Blade, and looked at the last stout man.
Bang!
Bai Ye exerted force with his legs, launching himself forward. He swung the Serrated Blade horizontally. The vibrating blade touched the surrounding trees and effortlessly cut them down, causing large trees to fall one after another.
The last stout man was startled and quickly stopped. He took out three bamboo-tube-like objects from his waist pouch and threw them out.
"Floating Puppets, attack!"
The three bamboo tubes were clearly puppets with human faces drawn on them. Upon receiving the command, they flew directly towards Bai Ye. One could see that the edges on both sides of the bamboo tubes were inlaid with a circle of tiny blades.
Then...
Bai Ye swung his blade fiercely. The Serrated Blade flashed silver in the air, easily cutting the three floating puppets in half. Immediately after, Bai Ye leaped up and appeared before the stout man.
