The corpses corroded by venom naturally looked extremely gruesome, and the remaining three's expressions changed drastically.
The terrifying aspect of the Doku Doku no Mi's ability, besides its power, was its deterrent effect.
Who wouldn't feel a chill down their spine seeing a perfectly fine person suddenly have their flesh and blood corroded into a skeleton?
However, Bai Ye clearly had no intention of stopping there.
*Sizzle!*
The sound of surging electricity echoed again, and immediately, Bai Ye's figure flickered, appearing before two people.
*Pfft!*
Bai Ye thrust his sword forward, piercing the throat of one person, and with his other hand, he grabbed the head of another.
The next moment, a large amount of flames erupted from Bai Ye's palm.
Flame Explosion!
*Boom!*
A booming roar erupted as the flames in his palm exploded, blasting off half of the opponent's head. Then, the charred corpse fell to the ground.
"You have killed a participant (Mechanical Civilization World)."
"You have obtained two God Stone Shards."
"You have killed a participant (Xianxia World)."
"You have obtained three God Stone Shards."
...
Bai Ye sharply drew his sword. As the Thunder Fang Beast was pulled from the opponent's throat, it also flung the corpse away, but at this moment...
A scorching sensation suddenly appeared!
Bai Ye could feel waves of heat rising behind him. Turning his head, he saw the man wearing glasses holding a magic staff high, and a giant fireball appeared above.
The next moment, the man pointed his magic staff forward, and the fireball plummeted towards Bai Ye.
And then...
Looking at the incoming fireball, Bai Ye suddenly raised his sword and slashed forward.
In an instant, the fireball was sliced in two by Bai Ye and shattered.
Bai Ye strode forward, and fear appeared on the man's face.
But at this moment...
"Bai Ye!"
A voice suddenly called out from a distance. It was Gao Ming, rushing over with his men.
"This is a misunderstanding," Gao Ming said hurriedly as he arrived in front of Bai Ye. "Listen to me first."
Bai Ye chuckled, "Isn't he one of your Evil Spirit Gang?"
Gao Ming glared fiercely at the man wearing glasses and then said, "He is a member of our Evil Spirit Gang, but believe me, this was not my order, nor our leader's. He acted on his own."
Bai Ye asked, "Should I believe you?"
Gao Ming replied, "Please believe me, it's truly a misunderstanding. Our Evil Spirit Gang was just established not long ago, and we're still a makeshift team. Our management isn't in place yet, which is why our subordinates act on their own. I will definitely give you an explanation."
Evil Spirit Gang's management?
Bai Ye curled his lips.
If it were in his previous life, Bai Ye would never believe such nonsense. Harvey Stanson established the Evil Spirit Gang from scratch, and it could contend with the Hidden Dragon Society, not because the Evil Spirit Gang had more members or more experts.
It was because of Harvey Stanson's orderly management of the Evil Spirit Gang.
However, the four words "makeshift team" from Gao Ming's mouth did add a degree of credibility. The Evil Spirit Gang was indeed in its nascent stage, and its rules and order had not yet been fully established.
"Then I'll reluctantly believe you," Bai Ye said. "As for an explanation, you don't need to give it to me!"
*Sizzle!*
Suddenly, electricity surged around Bai Ye. Then, Bai Ye raised his hand and pointed at the sky.
The next instant...
*Sizzle!*
A current shot from Bai Ye's fingertip into the air. It quickly thickened in the sky before descending, striking the man wearing glasses.
"Ah!"
As the current enveloped the man, his body was instantly split open, flesh and blood exposed. When the current dissipated, the man was a bloody mess, kneeling on the ground, black smoke rising from his entire body.
Then...
*Thump!*
The man's body fell forward. After a few twitches, he finally breathed his last.
"You have killed a participant (Biological Gene Civilization World)."
"You have obtained three God Stone Shards."
Bai Ye looked at Gao Ming and said, "I prefer to give myself an explanation."
Gao Ming was silent for a moment and said, "Of course, if this satisfies you, I have no objections, and neither does the Evil Spirit Gang."
Bai Ye nodded, "That's good."
"I hope this doesn't affect our cooperation," Gao Ming said as he took out a Den Den Mushi. "I forgot to give this to you earlier. This thing is called a Den Den Mushi..."
Bai Ye replied, "I know this thing."
Gao Ming smiled, "I hope we can keep in touch often."
"Of course," Bai Ye said. "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Gao Ming nodded, "Please do."
Watching Bai Ye leave, Gao Ming immediately turned to the people who had accompanied him.
"You all saw it, didn't you?" Gao Ming said loudly. "The World Battlefield is this dangerous. It only takes a flick of the wrist for truly powerful experts to kill us. It is precisely because of this that the Evil Spirit Gang exists. The weak gather together to resist the strong..."
Although Bai Ye had walked far away, his senses were sharp, and Gao Ming's words still reached his ears.
Bai Ye had to admit that Gao Ming was quite a character.
The fact that Bai Ye had casually killed so many people would undoubtedly be a significant blow to the morale of the Evil Spirit Gang.
The Evil Spirit Gang was created under the guise of the Hidden Dragon Society, but its core purpose was to pool the strength of the masses, to avoid being bullied, or more directly, to learn from the Hidden Dragon Society and bully others.
Therefore, when they gathered, they were still no match...
This situation was bound to cause wavering thoughts among these people.
However, Gao Ming was actually able to turn this incident to his advantage, using it to promote the necessity of the Evil Spirit Gang's existence and re-energize everyone's confidence. His capabilities were evident.
His reaction was indeed swift.
This made Bai Ye somewhat curious. In his previous life, Bai Ye had considerable contact with the Evil Spirit Gang, though most of it was adversarial.
But at that time, Bai Ye had never heard of Gao Ming's name.
This meant that in his previous life, Gao Ming had not made a name for himself in the Evil Spirit Gang. Of course, he might have died.
Bai Ye thought the latter was more likely, as he did appreciate Gao Ming's abilities. This guy had the potential to become a cadre-level member of the Evil Spirit Gang.
However, these were internal matters of the Evil Spirit Gang, what did they have to do with him?
Bai Ye had already cast his bait. As for whether the Evil Spirit Gang would take it...
Bai Ye believed that as long as they tasted success at Ju Xian Zhuang, the Evil Spirit Gang, this big fish, would definitely take the bait.
"I hope..." Bai Ye murmured, "this time, I won't have to stay in this damned place for too long."
