Chapter 5 A Higher World?

"Come on!"

Bai Ye watched the Licker turn around, grinning, and hooked a finger at it.

Roar!

Whether the Licker understood the provocation or not, it was at least enraged. It hissed in Bai Ye's direction, then pushed off with its legs and lunged again.

At that moment, Bai Ye sharply twisted his waist, spun around to the side behind a metal shelf, and then leaped up, smashing into the metal shelf!

With a bang, the metal shelf was toppled.

The Licker raised its head and looked at the falling metal shelf. It had no chance to dodge and was directly smashed by the falling shelf, its body hitting the ground.

Blood flowed from the Licker's back, and a faint scent of blood filled the air.

But the Licker seemed oblivious, only roaring continuously. Its body slowly bulged as it tried to push away the metal shelf.

However, just as the metal shelf was lifted slightly, Bai Ye suddenly leaped up and landed on it.

With a clang, the metal shelf, which the Licker had just lifted, was slammed back down. Bai Ye then stepped on the shelf, approached the Licker, and aimed his handgun at its head.

"Say goodbye, oh, sorry, I forgot you can't speak human language anymore."

Bang!

Bai Ye pulled the trigger, and a bloody hole appeared in the Licker's forehead.

Bai Ye stood up, preparing to holster his handgun, when at that moment...

"Not bad for someone from a lower world."

A voice suddenly spoke.

Bai Ye's expression tensed slightly. He spun around and aimed his gun at the doorway. But as Bai Ye turned, a silver light flashed past him, striking the gun. Bai Ye then felt a sharp pain in his wrist as his handgun was shot out of his hand by the silver light.

A young man in a white robe, with a jade belt and long flowing hair, strode in from the doorway.

"Someone from a martial world again?" Bai Ye looked at the silver light that had attacked him earlier, floating beside the man. As the light faded, it revealed a small sword, half an arm long. He realized with a sudden understanding and said, "Someone from the cultivation world?"

"Liang Luo, disciple of Kunlun's Yuxu Hall."

Liang Luo said this with his head held high, clearly proud of his origin. He then looked at Bai Ye and shook his head. "It doesn't matter if I tell you. You wouldn't understand anyway, being from a lower world. You can't comprehend Kunlun's power. After all, you're just a mortal ant, insignificant in the mortal realm."

The World Battlefield summoned chosen ones from different worlds. Different worlds, different civilizations, and different developments meant that some people were naturally better at combat and possessed higher combat capabilities. Those from peaceful worlds would naturally be at a disadvantage upon entering the World Battlefield.

And worlds with cultivation civilizations clearly belonged to the combat-oriented type. Therefore, chosen ones from cultivation worlds had always been arrogant, considering themselves to be from higher worlds.

"Ha!" Bai Ye chuckled and looked at Liang Luo. "It's really been ten years, and it's still the same. You guys from the cultivation world are always so annoying!"

As Bai Ye spoke, his peripheral vision was constantly scanning the side.

The moment his words fell, Bai Ye suddenly feigned a lunge to the side, as if to retrieve his handgun.

Clatter!

Liang Luo acted. The flying sword suspended beside him immediately shot out, striking the handgun on the ground and sending it flying further away.

"Trying to play tricks on me?" Liang Luo said disdainfully. "You have no chance... Huh..."

After sending the handgun flying, Liang Luo looked at Bai Ye, only to find that Bai Ye had just made a show of it and hadn't lunged at all. At the same time, a ...

gashapon machine appeared next to Bai Ye!

Bai Ye had no intention of retrieving the handgun. He merely wanted to distract Liang Luo's attention to the gun. Then, he seized the opportunity and took out the gashapon machine.

With "click, click" sounds, the gashapon machine spun, and then a blue capsule rolled out.

Bai Ye unscrewed the capsule, took out a card, and couldn't help but smile.

"Cultivation, is it?" Bai Ye said with a smile. "Then let's see whose immortal path is better!"

Sizzle!

The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, a crackling sound of electricity surged.

In the next instant, the surrounding fluorescent lights began to flicker, going on and off erratically.

A bright blue current suddenly appeared, shooting forward and grazing Liang Luo's cheek before hitting the wall behind him.

Boom!

The wall let out a loud roar, and a metal plate was directly blown to smithereens, falling from the wall.

Liang Luo was stunned speechless. He looked at Bai Ye with a hint of fear in his eyes and said, "Is that 'Thunderclap Strike'? Are you a disciple of Shu Mountain?"

Thunderclap Strike? Disciple of Shu Mountain?

He didn't even know which way Shu Mountain's gate was!

That sudden surge of current was entirely because...

Bai Ye slowly turned the card in his hand. It read: "Lei Gong, Help Me!"

What Bai Ye had gotten from the gashapon machine this time was the ability to attract lightning and control electricity.

In the next instant, Bai Ye suddenly pushed his hand forward. Blue currents danced at his fingertips, connecting into a line, and then blasted towards Liang Luo again.

Sizzle!

The piercing sound of surging electricity echoed once more.

Seeing the incoming current, Liang Luo lost his previous arrogance. His eyes were filled with terror. He managed to form a sword finger, and the small sword floating upside down beside him transformed into silver light and flew forward again.

But...

It was useless!

Boom!

The silver light collided with the current, emitting a loud roar. Then, Liang Luo, sword and all, was blasted backward, smashing into the wall. Blood also seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Looking up, he saw Bai Ye, enveloped in electricity, approaching again. Liang Luo fearfully scrambled to his feet and bolted towards the exit, trying to escape.

Bai Ye didn't rush to pursue. Watching Liang Luo flee, he let out a cold laugh and then punched the wall beside him.

Sizzle!

The sound of surging electricity reappeared. Large currents, like liquid, spread outward from Bai Ye's body, quickly covering the entire wall.

At the same time, the lights in the corridor began to flicker erratically.

Liang Luo ran forward madly, but at this moment, a stream of electricity swept down from the ceiling and descended upon him.

"Ah!"

A desolate scream instantly echoed in the corridor.
