Bai Ye was startled by the sudden loud noise and then looked in the direction of the sound.
It was a towering building, at least twenty stories high, and then...
Shattered!
The building appeared to have been sliced by something incredibly sharp, breaking into pieces and falling downwards.
Boom, boom, boom!
The collapsing, broken building crashed onto the ground, scattering into fragments amidst flying dust.
In the blink of an eye, the twenty-story building, as if violently demolished, was reduced to a pile of rubble.
"Damn, who was that?" Bai Ye couldn't help but exclaim, "So brutal?"
After observing the collapsed building, Bai Ye pondered for a moment, waved at Vamdemon, and quickly headed towards the building's direction.
Since he was no longer playing the role of a coward, he naturally gravitated towards any combat, ready to engage. Moreover, just as Bai Ye had previously worried about attracting too much attention and allowing others to pick up the spoils, it was now his turn to reap the benefits.
The building was quite a distance from Bai Ye's location. After running for about half an hour, Bai Ye finally reached the completely ruined building.
There were remnants of walls everywhere, and the piled-up debris resembled a small mountain.
And then...
Bai Ye couldn't help but raise an eyebrow!
Chiyuki, Michael Marquese!
Chiyuki was now a dead ghost, his body impaled on a steel bar against a building wall. His body was riddled with at least a dozen bloody holes, and blood continuously dripped down the wall.
And Chiyuki was not the only one dead!
Bai Ye looked up at the ruins in front, where a man lay there, his right arm and left leg severed. His head was twisted at an unnatural angle, clearly beyond what a normal neck could achieve.
"Uma?"
Bai Ye stepped onto the rubble, examined the corpse, and then his gaze shifted past the ruins to another direction, where blood dripped from a black streetlight.
Because the streetlight had been broken off, a muscular man was impaled on it, his chest pierced by the pole, his entire body hanging there.
Bai Ye silently took out his cigarette case, extracted a cigarette, and lit it, saying, "It seems Situ Chicheng has gone berserk."
Bai Ye could easily deduce that all three were killed by Situ Chicheng. Besides the fatal wounds, the three had countless other injuries, clearly inflicted by a sharp weapon. The wounds were narrow and thin, most likely from a sword.
Therefore, it couldn't have been Bai Lu's doing; she was a firearms user. That left only Situ Chicheng.
Bai Ye couldn't help but lament how ferocious Situ Chicheng was.
This was a one-against-three situation!
And based on the scene, Situ Chicheng had clearly won.
However, Bai Ye saw this as an opportunity. Even for Situ Chicheng, killing Chouniu, Uma, and Haitu alone would not be an easy feat. This indicated that Situ Chicheng was likely injured. If so, this was the best opportunity to eliminate him.
"But..." Bai Ye looked around, "it seems I'm late?"
Only ruins and three corpses remained, with no sign of Situ Chicheng. He must have left after the killings.
"But he can't have gone far!" Bai Ye murmured. "The time the building collapsed doesn't necessarily mean the battle ended then. Even if the battle ended then, it was only half an hour ago. If Situ Chicheng is seriously injured, he wouldn't have gone too far."
As he thought, Bai Ye looked up at the sky. He was currently flying low in spirit form. If he searched from the air, wouldn't he have a good chance of finding Situ Chicheng?
As Bai Ye was contemplating, a burst of fire suddenly illuminated the night sky.
Bai Ye froze, and a grenade landed on the ruins.
Boom!
A deafening roar erupted, and a section of the top of the ruins collapsed, sending countless stones tumbling down.
A moment later, as the flames and black smoke gradually dissipated, several overlapping earth walls were revealed, which then slowly caved in on all sides. Bai Ye emerged from beneath the stone walls.
"Whew!" A whistle sounded. From further down the street, Bai Lu, carrying a grenade launcher, looked up at Bai Ye atop the ruins and said, "Chen Long?"
As Bai Lu spoke, she scanned the surroundings.
"This wasn't you, was it?" Bai Lu asked. "Where is that rat?"
"Good question," Bai Ye replied. "I'd like to know the answer too."
Bai Lu burst into laughter, "It seems we have the same objective. Unfortunately, we're both a bit late?"
Bai Ye nodded. "It appears so!"
Bai Lu suddenly raised her grenade launcher, aiming it at Bai Ye. "Since I can't catch the rat, capturing a dragon wouldn't be bad either."
Bai Ye remained silent for a moment, then said, "Rabbit meat hot pot is very delicious!"
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly turned tense. As they both fell silent, the surroundings also became quiet, with only the sound of the night wind blowing and the rustling of debris on the ground.
Creak!
At this moment, the streetlight that had impaled Chouniu's corpse emitted a piercing creak and slowly began to tilt.
This sudden turn of events drew the attention of both Bai Ye and Bai Lu, and then...
With a bang!
As the streetlight crashed to the ground, it was like a declaration of war. Bai Ye and Bai Lu moved simultaneously.
Bai Lu directly aimed her grenade launcher, and as the cylinder spun, grenades were fired one after another, arcing through the air towards Bai Ye.
Boom, boom, boom!
The roar of explosions sounded continuously, and flashes of fire continuously erupted on top of the ruins.
Suddenly, Bai Ye shot out from the black smoke, his wrist flicked, and over a dozen playing cards spun in the air, descending towards Bai Lu.
Bai Lu's hand suddenly produced a riot shield. She then crouched down, her body concealed behind the shield.
Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud...
The spinning playing cards embedded themselves into the riot shield but failed to penetrate it.
Bai Ye swiftly leaped down from the ruins, but at this moment...
Bai Lu suddenly exposed half her head from behind the riot shield, a strange smile on her face.
Bai Ye looked at Bai Lu's right hand and inwardly cursed, "Bad."
The next instant, Bai Lu suddenly threw an iron can into the air!
A flashbang!
A large burst of white light erupted, accompanied by a piercing noise.
Bai Ye quickly covered his eyes, but it had little effect. The blinding light still caused his eyes to sting, temporarily rendering him blind. His ears buzzed, and he fell straight down from mid-air.
