Bai Ye’s palm slashed down, and three bolts of lightning appeared, surging towards the three individuals.
The three captains from the Hidden Dragon Association remained calm. One took out a cloth bag magical artifact, pulled open its mouth, and surprisingly, absorbed Bai Ye’s lightning into it.
Another held a Tang dao, bracing it against his arm. He then directly met Bai Ye’s lightning head-on. Although his body was constantly pushed backward, he still managed to block the lightning.
The last one reached out his hand forward, activating his special ability. The air in front of him solidified, forming a barrier that blocked Bai Ye’s lightning.
After each of them neutralized the attack, the captain holding the cloth bag magical artifact aimed the bag’s opening at Bai Ye. The lightning previously absorbed was then sent back, hurtling towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye casually waved his hand, shattering the lightning.
The moment Bai Ye shattered the lightning.
One captain produced a tattered flag and planted it into the ground, declaring, “Shaman Battle Flag!”
As the flag was inserted into the ground, a circle of radiance instantly rippled outward, spreading in a circular area.
“Domain item?”
Bai Ye frowned, feeling it wasn’t quite right. It looked very much like a domain ability, but a mere circle of light seemed too simplistic.
On the other side, the second captain produced a horn: “Goblin Horn!”
Bai Ye covered his ears; the sound of the horn was quite piercing, but it wasn’t over yet. The third captain took out a rusted sword, pointed it forward, and stated, “Goblin Regent Sword!”
With all three items used simultaneously, magical array patterns appeared continuously beneath the feet of the three individuals.
The patterns were not large, forming circles of light, and then thin magical lines appeared between them, connecting them together.
“So it’s these things.”
Bai Ye suddenly showed a look of realization. Although he didn’t know the specific effects, Bai Ye now understood what they were using.
All three items were enhancement-type items, and like Bai Ye’s Startling Thunder Violet Lightning and Blazing Phoenix Flying Fire, they were combination items. After individual enhancements, combining them would yield a combined enhancement.
One captain sneered, “You think that’s all? It’s not over yet!”
That captain extended his hand, conjuring a golden chain, and then threw it out to the sides.
The golden light chain extended like a snake, binding the ankles of the three individuals, thus connecting them together.
“My ability can average our physical attributes and then enhance them by 20%. This is a quadruple enhancement effect stacking!”
The captain’s words carried a hint of pride. It wasn’t easy to gather these synergistic enhancement items and stack them four times.
Therefore, he naturally had reason to be proud.
However…
Bai Ye looked indifferent. Was it that impressive?
If he used the Steel Slime, combined with Magic Chants, his dual domain abilities, and if he were a bit more extravagant and consumed two God Stone Shards, he could stack enhancements eight or nine times…
“But since you’ve tried so hard, I’ll show you something to crush you.” Bai Ye watched as the three completed their enhancements and charged at him simultaneously. He curled his lips and said, “We can change the method.”
As Bai Ye spoke, he opened his palm, and the Pangu Banner appeared in his hand.
Seeing the three charging at him, Bai Ye curled his lips into a strange smile and then swung the Pangu Banner.
Heaven and Earth Mourn Together (Allows the user to use gravity to oppress enemies, restrict their movement, weaken target’s physical attributes by 30% and apply gravity, or reduce self-gravity, increasing physical attributes by 30%, with a duration of 15 minutes for both effects).
Almost the instant Bai Ye swung the Pangu Banner, the expressions of the three changed drastically!
Bang, bang, bang…
The sudden gravity caused the three to collapse to the ground before they could even reach Bai Ye.
In that moment, the three felt something heavy suddenly pressing down on them.
At the same time, the effects they had just enhanced were completely nullified.
“I’m really sorry!” Bai Ye said, “You tried so hard, but it was useless!”
As Bai Ye spoke, he snapped his fingers.
Zzzzz!
Current flowed through Bai Ye’s body, and then three falling lightning bolts reappeared, descending from the sky.
Boom, boom, boom!
The falling lightning continuously struck the three until their bodies turned scorched black, their flesh and blood mangled, and they completely lost all signs of life.
“You have killed a participant (Modern Civilization World).”
“You have obtained seventy-seven God Stone Shards.”
“Your Navy Kill Count: 125”
“You have killed…”
“You have killed…”
…
Looking at the three corpses, Bai Ye couldn’t help but curl his lips.
Captains of the Hidden Dragon Association’s elite squad?
They could be considered experts, possessing first-rate skill.
However, just like in his previous life, while the three major powers had many experts, very few could reach the pinnacle level.
The reason was simple: experts cultivated through the collective strength of many had limited potential.
There were many reasons for this. On one hand, they might have only displayed some potential before being cultivated, but their inherent ceiling wasn't that high. On the other hand, they lacked the pressure of life-and-death situations.
Pressure, while dangerous, was also a driving force.
But the members of the Hidden Dragon Association, when acting, always did so in large groups, with cannon fodder taking the risks. The so-called elite squads mostly acted as finishers. The less danger they experienced, the less pressure they felt, and naturally, the lower their motivation.
To put it more directly, these guys lacked the will to survive at all costs; they were deficient in spirit.
This could be seen from their Navy kill counts, which were almost all between 120 and 150, far behind Xia Zhi Feng.
However…
These guys really had a lot of God Stone Shards!
This was the benefit of belonging to a faction; they had money and resources, no joke.
Bai Ye had eliminated three people and obtained two hundred and twenty-nine God Stone Shards, directly getting two God Stones…
Unless Bai Ye had incredibly good luck, such as obtaining the opponent’s God Stone Shards in full, it meant that these three guys likely possessed significantly more God Stone Shards than Bai Ye.
While Bai Ye was thinking, Hamel’s voice came from above his head: “Bai Ye, what are you spacing out for? You’re going to get sniped!”
“Huh?”
Bai Ye snapped back to attention and glanced upwards.
Hamel was still clashing with Chi Jiu Xiao and Huo Qing Ming.
As for the sniping…
Bai Ye looked in the direction of Fire Fist Ace and saw a furtive figure stealthily approaching behind Fire Fist Ace.
Bai Ye felt his entire being go numb.
Why was it this guy again?
But, that’s good too!
Bai Ye happened to have many questions he wanted to ask this guy!
