"Huh?" Bai Ye heard the cries for help and looked to the side, "Have they started fighting?"
Bai Ye walked towards the sound and saw three summoned individuals ganging up on another summoned individual. To his surprise, the one being ganged up on was someone he somewhat recognized.
Jiamas was covered in blood, riddled with wounds, his face pale and bloodless. He leaned against a large tree, looking fearfully at the three closing in on him.
The next moment, Jiamas's peripheral vision caught sight of Bai Ye, and he immediately cried out in a plea, "Bai Ye, help me!"
The three summoned individuals attacking Jiamas immediately shifted their gaze to Bai Ye.
Towards Bai Ye…
The three felt a sense of apprehension!
He was the first to arrive in the demon country, the first to reach the battlefield…
While it couldn't directly prove his strength, it certainly indicated something. Even if Bai Ye wasn't as strong as imagined, he certainly wouldn't be too weak.
One of the summoned individuals gritted his teeth and looked at Bai Ye, saying, "Bai Ye, this has nothing to do with you. You'd best not meddle."
"Ah?" Bai Ye smiled and waved his hand, "No, no, you guys continue, I'm just passing by."
As Bai Ye spoke, he gestured with his hand and then leaned against a nearby tree.
Seeing this, Jiamas's heart sank halfway. The three summoned individuals remained wary. Although Bai Ye showed no intention of fighting, if he was just passing by, why didn't he leave? Why stay here?
On the contrary, Bai Ye seemed a bit impatient, urging them, "Hurry up."
The summoned individual who had spoken earlier hesitated and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want?"
"I don't want anything," Bai Ye said. "You just continue with your business."
That summoned individual gritted his teeth, "Then leave."
"That won't do," Bai Ye gestured towards Jiamas with his chin. "I'm not familiar with him, his life or death is none of my concern. However, your lives and deaths are of concern to me, so hurry up and finish this, and then we can all go our separate ways, alright?"
The three gasped, understanding Bai Ye's meaning.
Jiamas's life or death was irrelevant to Bai Ye, and Bai Ye wasn't here to save him. However, they could kill Jiamas, and Bai Ye could certainly kill them.
It was all for the fragments of the God Stone, no different.
One of the summoned individuals said sternly, "Bai Ye, aren't you being a bit too arrogant? Just you alone? There are three of us here!"
"Hurry up and finish your work, then we'll know," Bai Ye said with a smile. "If we don't try, how will we know if I kill you, or you kill me?"
The three hesitated, exchanged glances, and then one of them slowly retreated backward.
"It's useless. I already said I have no intention of saving him," Bai Ye said. "So whether you retreat now or not doesn't change the fact that I'll kill you."
That summoned individual bared his fangs and said fiercely, "Bai Ye, we've already given you face, don't push your luck."
"This isn't one matter, but two. Forget it, it's a waste of breath…" Bai Ye suddenly shook his head. "Gengar, take care of them!"
Suddenly, Gengar emerged from the shadows behind the three, raised its arms, and condensed a Shadow Ball.
Bai Ye had spoken a lot of nonsense to them, not out of genuine desire to chat, but to focus their attention on himself, allowing Gengar to circle around behind them.
Boom!
As the Shadow Ball struck, a deafening roar sounded.
The ground was pulverized, and in the violent impact, the three were instantly engulfed by the shockwave.
In that very instant…
Bai Ye leaped forward!
His broadsword slashed forward!
"Judgment!"
Demacia's power erupted, and Bai Ye swung his sword down. A dazzling silver sword light burst from the blade, instantly engulfing one of the summoned individuals.
With a *pu*, the summoned individual's body was directly cleaved in two by Bai Ye's sword, a large amount of blood splashing out, dyeing the surrounding vegetation red.
After the strike, Bai Ye showed no intention of stopping, leaping forward again, his broadsword swinging.
One of the summoned individuals raised a crimson longsword and said, "Roar, Flame Demon Sword!"
He raised the crimson longsword and forcefully slashed it forward.
As the sword edge cut through the air, flames blazed intensely, forming an arc of fire that swung towards Bai Ye.
"A magic weapon you just got?"
Bai Ye curled his lips into a smile, then raised his broadsword and swept it forcefully, instantly shattering the approaching arc of fire.
"In the end, it's just a blue-quality magic weapon!"
Bang!
Bai Ye stomped forward, raised his fist, and struck forward. A large amount of venom appeared, condensing into a poison dragon that charged forward. Amidst the dragon's roar, the poison dragon opened its gaping maw and swallowed the opponent.
Then…
As the venom spilled onto the ground, the opponent's body reappeared from the venom, completely stripped of flesh, leaving only a skeletal frame standing there.
Bai Ye strode forward. As he passed the skeleton, he casually raised his sword and smashed the bones into dust, then walked towards the last summoned individual.
"No, don't…"
That summoned individual had been scared witless. While he had considered Bai Ye might be strong, he had never imagined Bai Ye would be this strong.
He was completely outmatched, unable to last even a single exchange!
"Let me go," the summoned individual pleaded. "Please, let me go."
Bai Ye nodded, "Okay, you can go!"
This response left the summoned individual bewildered. Was he really letting him go?
Bai Ye said again, "I said, I'm letting you go, so why aren't you leaving yet?"
"Th-thank you…"
The summoned individual snapped back to his senses, quickly turned, and fled. But in that instant…
Gengar's wide, grinning face appeared before the summoned individual, followed by a full Shadow Ball rammed directly into his face.
Boom!
As the Shadow Ball exploded, the man's body was instantly blown to pieces, turning into a pile of mangled remains.
"You have killed a participant (Modern Civilization World)."
"You have obtained a fragment of the God Stone."
Bai Ye shrugged, "I didn't say my summoned beasts would let you go either."
After speaking, Bai Ye glanced at the status screen and couldn't help but curl his lips in disdain. Killing three for just one fragment of the God Stone? Such terrible luck.
"Bai Ye, thank you!"
At this moment, a voice sounded beside Bai Ye. It was Jiamas, clutching his wounds, who had come to Bai Ye's side.
"Thank me?" Bai Ye suddenly laughed. "No, you shouldn't be thanking me."
