So, when negotiating for the ruby scepter, Jin Xiangchuan was already a dead man in Bai Ye's eyes!
Facing such a predictable future enemy, Bai Ye naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to let the opponent grow stronger.
Jin Xiangchuan gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you the King's Scepter, don't you want it?"
Bai Ye smiled and said, "Of course I want it, but will you really give it to me?"
Jin Xiangchuan asked, "Can I trade it for my life?"
"What do you think?" Bai Ye shook his head, "Or I could say yes, but would you believe me?"
Jin Xiangchuan fell silent.
Jin Xiangchuan certainly didn't believe that if he handed over the King's Scepter, Bai Ye would let him go.
In fact...
Bai Ye certainly wouldn't let Jin Xiangchuan go!
If he could really get the King's Scepter, then Bai Ye would have to kill Jin Xiangchuan even more, because the enmity would be immense. From then on, every second of Jin Xiangchuan's improvement would become motivation for him to kill Bai Ye.
Would Bai Ye create a potential enemy for himself who would constantly watch him?
Of course not!
Bai Ye understood the principle of cutting grass by the roots.
If Jin Xiangchuan didn't hand over the King's Scepter, he would die!
If Jin Xiangchuan handed over the King's Scepter, he would die even more!
"Ah!"
Jin Xiangchuan clearly understood this as well. He suddenly let out a roar, veins bulging on his neck, and swung his saber towards Bai Ye.
In his final moments, Jin Xiangchuan unleashed his ferocity, wanting to drag Bai Ye down with him.
But...
*Thump!*
That saber never landed.
The moment Jin Xiangchuan raised his saber, he suddenly felt a constriction in his chest, his internal organs trembled violently, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, coughing continuously. The blood that fell was distinctly black.
Jin Xiangchuan couldn't help but look at his severed arm. The skin around the wound was black, and that blackness was spreading towards other parts of his body.
Bai Ye raised his broadsword and said, "I forgot to tell you, I'm quite skilled with poisons!"
As Bai Ye spoke, he forcefully brought the broadsword down.
*Thump!*
A flash of silver!
Jin Xiangchuan's head fell to the ground.
"You have killed a participant (Particle Energy Civilization World)."
"You have obtained six fragments of the God Stone."
Bai Ye looked at Jin Xiangchuan's head rolling to the side and murmured, "Particle Energy Civilization World? This guy is actually from a technologically advanced world similar to the Predators. No wonder his strength is so great, and he has so many sci-fi weapons."
After murmuring, Bai Ye's face showed renewed joy.
Six fragments of the God Stone!
Although Bai Ye wanted to kill Jin Xiangchuan regardless of the God Stone fragments, who would complain about having too many?
Moreover, Jin Xiangchuan's strength was not bad. If Bai Ye hadn't launched a surprise attack, severing one of his arms and heavily wounding him, it probably wouldn't have been so easy to take him down.
Therefore, it was predictable that Jin Xiangchuan would have a considerable number of God Stone fragments on him. Either he was unlucky and wouldn't get any, or if he did, the amount wouldn't be too small, because having many fragments meant a higher potential for acquisition.
The final acquisition of six fragments of the God Stone exceeded Bai Ye's expectations, making him want to splurge immediately and use the fragments to exchange for a golden gacha to play with.
While thinking, he closed the light screen, took another look at Jin Xiangchuan's corpse, and suddenly thrust his sword into Jin Xiangchuan's chest again, then severed all four of his limbs.
It wasn't due to any deep-seated hatred that required such measures, but rather Li Jia's "resurrection" had made Bai Ye vigilant, lest Jin Xiangchuan also possessed some item for revival or a fake death, so Bai Ye ensured he died thoroughly.
Bai Ye had always been ruthless towards those with whom he had a feud. Otherwise...
Look at Li Jia, if the animosity wasn't resolved, the feud would only deepen.
Therefore, Bai Ye even guarded the corpse for nearly half an hour, ensuring that the man truly could not stand up again, before he rose and entered the canyon.
There were no pig-headed men in the canyon, and Bai Ye passed through smoothly.
After passing through the canyon, they were not far from the plains, which served as the main battlefield.
"About three hours, I'd say!"
Bai Ye stood on a hillside, gazed into the distance, estimated the time, and then leaped down from the slope.
"Garen!" Bai Ye roared, raising his broadsword, "Judgement!"
In mid-air, Bai Ye held his broadsword high!
The blade emanated a golden radiance, and the moment it landed, Bai Ye forcefully swung the broadsword forward.
*Boom!*
The broadsword struck the ground with a thunderous roar. Instantly, the ground exploded, sending countless rocks flying, and cracks spread everywhere.
Ripples of sword light spread outwards, cleaving around him and killing the surrounding pig-headed men. Wherever the sword light touched, their bodies were sliced in half.
In the blink of an eye, that squad of pig-headed men were all corpses.
"You have assisted the Demon Kingdom against the Pig-Headed Army, killing one hundred Pig-Headed Demons, and received rewards: one random body attribute permanently increased by 10 points, God Stone Fragment x1."
After killing that squad of pig-headed men, Bai Ye finally completed Mission One, having killed one hundred pig-headed men.
A permanent increase of 10 points to a body attribute...
Bai Ye was not picky about this. His initial attributes were relatively balanced. This was because, at that time, Bai Ye was weak in every aspect. Therefore, after being strengthened by the T-virus, his body attributes grew evenly. The Five-Spirit Disk also did not discriminate, strengthening all attributes except intelligence with each spiritual gathering.
Since there was nothing particularly outstanding, it was fine to randomly assign the attribute.
Finally, when Bai Ye looked at the light screen, he found that the 10 points had been allocated to Strength.
It made sense. Strength was the foundation for combat, and it was good.
Bai Ye wiped away the light screen and continued to move forward.
The further east he walked, the scarcer the trees became, indicating that Bai Ye was getting closer to his destination.
As Bai Ye climbed a low mountain, thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky.
Bai Ye couldn't help but look up. The sky was extremely gloomy, covered by large, low-hanging dark clouds that felt almost within reach. At the same time, faint blue lightning flickered within the clouds, like long dragons.
Then...
Bai Ye looked ahead!
Before Bai Ye appeared a vast plain. At this moment, countless pig-headed men stood there, forming formations, a dark mass that seemed endless, exuding a strong sense of oppression!
