Bai Ye immediately perked up, using the high-powered binoculars to keep a constant watch on the three vehicles.
Then…
As the first vehicle passed the spot where Bai Ye had dropped the Ningshuang Sword…
“Imperial Sword!”
With a mere thought from Bai Ye, the moment the first vehicle drove over the Ningshuang Sword, it transformed into a silver streak of light and pierced the vehicle’s tires.
In the next instant, the screeching sound of tires frictioning against the ground erupted. The driver inside was startled, then frantically spun the steering wheel, and then…
Bang!
The second vehicle from behind crashed into it, its front blade directly piercing the pickup truck’s cargo bed.
Fortunately, the speeds weren’t high, and no rollovers occurred. The two vehicles slid forward four or five meters before coming to a stop. The third vehicle, however, braked in time and avoided a collision.
A moment later, Bai Ye saw quite a few people disembark from the vehicles, and an argument broke out. After all, if that blade had shifted even slightly and pierced the car body, it would have been a bloody scene.
In fact, Bai Ye had intended for that to happen, ideally disabling one of the vehicles.
However, the current outcome was acceptable; at least the vehicles had been forced to stop.
Bai Ye silently switched his Aug rifle to burst fire mode, then slowly adjusted the muzzle, aiming at a man’s head.
“See you next time…” Bai Ye murmured, caressing the trigger, “No, there won’t be a next time.”
Bang!
Bai Ye pulled the trigger. Through the scope, the man’s head instantly exploded in a spray of blood, and he fell without warning.
The surrounding people were stunned. Just then…
Bang!
The second shot rang out again, followed by a scream. A man clutched his arm and retreated continuously, bright red blood flowing from between his fingers.
“Ambush!”
“Weapons, get your weapons!”
“Use the vehicles as cover, quickly, quickly!”
The road knights finally snapped back to reality, scrambling towards their vehicles. They retrieved weapons from inside, and then…
Bang!
The gunshots sounded again. This time, Bai Ye didn’t miss, accurately hitting another man’s head, leaving a bloody hole in his forehead.
The man’s eyes widened. Leaning against the car, he slowly slumped to the ground, leaving a blood trail on the vehicle.
“Over there, over there…”
The remaining road knights finally spotted Bai Ye’s location. With a shout from one of them, the road knights drew their firearms from their vehicles and opened fire in Bai Ye’s direction.
It had to be said, the road knights looked quite ferocious as they roared and returned fire.
However, Bai Ye was grateful for their ferocity.
Although they had been forced to stop, only the first vehicle had been truly damaged. The others could have driven their remaining two vehicles around the desert on either side of the road and continued their escape.
But the lawless state under the apocalypse had ignited the primal ferocity in people’s hearts. These road knights might have felt fear, retreated, or felt guilt at first, but after continuous looting and killing, those emotions had long since vanished. xxs壹贰
After being attacked, their first thought was to retaliate and kill the attacker.
This was good!
If they hadn’t done so and had instead fled, how would Bai Ye have completed his mission?
“Ningshuang!” Bai Ye thought, “Imperial Sword.”
The Ningshuang Sword beneath the vehicle suddenly transformed into a silver light, darting out from under the car and sweeping past the road knights’ feet.
“Ah, my foot!”
“It hurts, it hurts so much.”
Several road knights instantly fell to the ground, clutching their ankles and wailing.
Taking advantage of this, Bai Ye scrambled to his feet, switched his Aug rifle to spray mode, and pulled the trigger, firing forward.
Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew…
Gunshots erupted, bullets flying forward incessantly, striking the road knights’ bodies, instantly drawing blood, and hitting the vehicles behind, making clanging sounds and sending sparks flying.
After emptying the magazine, Bai Ye loaded a grenade into the grenade launcher and then…
Boom!
The sound of an explosion roared.
Layers of flames mixed with black smoke erupted, and the immense heat wave caused the surrounding dry grass to sway.
As for the road knights, they were blown away instantly, some losing consciousness, while others lay on the ground, wailing.
Bai Ye walked onto the road with his rifle, looking at the groaning road knights on the ground, silently reloading his magazine, and then…
Aim, shoot, next…
Aim, shoot, next…
Bai Ye walked on, shooting down the surviving road knights one by one, then heading towards the vehicles, intending to search for the supplies that had been looted by the road knights.
Just then…
“Die, you bastard!”
An enraged roar sounded, and Bai Ye turned his head to look.
A road knight had managed to hide under a vehicle beforehand and had not been affected by the explosion. After crawling out from under the car, he immediately climbed onto the roof and grabbed a Gatling gun mounted there.
In the next instant, amidst the man’s roar, the Gatling gun began to spin, its muzzle spewing fire.
Bai Ye’s pupils contracted. The moment the man opened fire…
“Yin Yang Reversal!”
Bai Ye took a sudden step forward, spreading his arms in a Tai Chi stance. Then, with his arms drawing circles, a nearly visible vortex of energy appeared around Bai Ye as he continuously circled his hands.
Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew…
The Gatling gun’s firepower was incredibly fierce. The bullets fired after the barrel spun were like rain, but…
The moment the bullets came into contact with the vortex, a strange thing happened.
The bullets seemed to be frozen in time, floating obediently in the air, then following the flow of the vortex, they began to circle around Bai Ye’s body.
The road knight’s expression was also exceptionally interesting. From initial anger, it turned to disbelief, then from disbelief to blankness, and finally from blankness to terror. His hands, which were holding the Gatling gun, involuntarily loosened their grip.
And in that instant…
Bai Ye suddenly lunged forward and thrust his palm forward.
With a bang!
The vortex swirling around Bai Ye suddenly exploded. As the vortex shattered, the bullets enveloped by it suddenly flew forward.
However…
This time, the bullets were not directed at Bai Ye, but straight at the road knight!
