With a bang!
The elevator wall was dented by the fierce impact, and 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.
"Move aside, move aside..."
The woman pushed away the crowd at the elevator door and ran forward rapidly.
Bai Ye curved his lips, chasing after her immediately.
This was sin value delivered to his doorstep; how could he let her escape just like that?
Bai Ye quickly chased out the door, but at this moment...
Bai Ye suddenly felt something was wrong, and he leaped backward with a sudden backward movement. Then...
Tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk...
Gunfire erupted abruptly, sweeping towards Bai Ye's direction. Immediately after, the glass windows on both sides of the office building shattered, and the surrounding people shrieked, either ducking for cover or fleeing in all directions.
Bai Ye rolled into the office building's reception area and looked at the terrified receptionist squatting to the side, smiling and saying, "Hi."
Seeing the pulse pistol in Bai Ye's hand, the receptionist shrieked and scrambled to her feet, running away like a madwoman.
Bai Ye touched his face and said, "I'm not that monstrous, am I?"
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 fight a boss? He was just a weak, pitiful, and helpless child.
Meanwhile...
The three people at the office building entrance had stopped firing. A muscular man stepped forward and said, "Quick, go, go..."
The muscular man shouted into the office building, urging the people inside to escape.
The woman and another tall, thin man were outside the office building, dispersing the crowd who hadn't figured out what was happening and were still lingering to watch the spectacle.
The Order faction had its conveniences, such as knowing who the top ten highest sin value individuals in the Sin faction were, and receiving clues to find them.
However, the Order faction also had its troublesome aspects, such as being more hesitant and unable to harm the innocent. If they accidentally killed even one person in this office building, they would lose order points, and if excessively serious evils occurred, they would even face punishment.
Therefore, after ambushing Bai Ye with a round of gunfire at the entrance, they no longer dared to fire indiscriminately. Instead, they prioritized evacuating people to avoid friendly fire.
However, Bai Ye had no such qualms...
Bai Ye stood up abruptly, raising his twin pulse pistols and pulling the trigger.
Bang, bang, bang...
A man in a suit cried out in pain as blood splattered from his back repeatedly.
Screams erupted again as a group of people rushed out in disarray. The muscular man was pushed aside by the crowd. Seeing Bai Ye looking at him, he scrambled away to the side.
Bang, bang, bang!
Bai Ye continuously pulled the trigger. Beams of cyan light struck the ground, shattering it and releasing wisps of black smoke, but failing to hit the target. The muscular man rolled over and dove into the safety corridor.
The other man and woman quickly arrived at the office building's entrance, guiding the crowd to leave, and then raised their guns, intending to rush into the office building. However...
Bai Ye's counterattack was faster!
On Bai Ye's shoulder, the plasma cannon had fully charged. A beam of light shot directly towards the entrance.
Boom!
The plasma cannon beam struck the ground, emitting a deafening roar. A section of the ground instantly exploded, creating a deep pit with dense cracks radiating outwards.
The surrounding glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows were instantly shattered by the impact, scattering large fragments of glass.
The man and woman, who had just reached the entrance and were about to enter, were forcefully pushed back by the shockwave, tumbling and taking cover beneath the stairs in front of the office building.
Bai Ye walked forward, sneering, "Three weaklings dare to try and get sin value from me? Where did you get the guts?"
At this moment, the muscular man in the safety corridor poked his head out. Seeing Bai Ye emerging from behind the reception desk, with no cover obstacle, he raised his submachine gun, aiming to shoot at Bai Ye.
But...
Rokushiki...
Soru!
Bai Ye's figure flickered, like a wavering shadow. In the next instant, before the other could fire, he suddenly appeared in front of him and swept a leg, kicking the submachine gun out of his hand.
The burly man was slightly stunned by this sudden change but reacted quickly. With his submachine gun kicked away, he immediately lunged to hug Bai Ye, intending to perform a direct takedown.
Moreover, judging by his movements and stance, he was clearly trained or had acquired related abilities on the world battlefield, such as grappling techniques found in wrestling, sumo, or judo.
But...
His excellent technique was utterly useless!
Because of absolute strength disparity!
The burly man was soon dumbfounded. Bai Ye's feet seemed rooted to the ground, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't move Bai Ye at all.
This was incredible to the burly man. He was nearly two meters tall and weighed 120 kilograms. Bai Ye, compared to him, looked like a chicken, two or three sizes smaller. Yet, he couldn't lift him!
The scene was truly incongruous.
Then...
As the burly man was astonished, Bai Ye grabbed him by the back of the neck and slammed him against the wall. With a bang, the burly man's head instantly split open, bleeding profusely.
Bai Ye didn't stop. He raised his fist, intending to deliver another blow, but at this moment, the man and woman had already rushed in, aiming their guns at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye's reaction was also swift. He quickly pulled the burly man up and used him as a shield, drawing his famed blade, Bloodthirsty, and holding it to his throat.
"Shoot," Bai Ye said with a smile. "Judging by your appearance, you must have just formed this group, and don't have much emotional attachment. Why not just shoot? Sacrificing one person to take me down would be quite worth it."
The man and woman remained silent, their gun muzzles fixed on Bai Ye. As Bai Ye moved, their aim slowly followed.
"Such loyalty," Bai Ye chuckled. "But do you think he won't die if you don't act?"
*Slash!*
Bai Ye applied sudden force, and the famed blade Bloodthirsty cut open the burly man's throat.
The burly man's eyes widened. He instinctively reached for his throat, but blood poured out uncontrollably.
And Bai Ye's figure vanished once more at this instant!
Soru!
Bai Ye's figure flickered, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the two. He raised his leg and swept it, knocking their submachine guns flying.
The man and woman reacted quickly, swiftly retreating backward to create distance from Bai Ye.
The next moment, they exchanged a look and spoke in unison!
"Beastification!"
"Steelification!"
