A tearing of flesh and blood.
Li Jiayi's eyes widened, and he looked down at his waist.
Bai Ye's kick had fully driven the Ning Shuang Sword into Li Jiayi's body, with even a tip piercing out from the other side.
Drip, drip…
Blood continuously dripped from the sword tip.
Clang!
Li Jiayi's grip loosened, and the tower shield fell to the ground with a loud noise, then became transparent and vanished.
Li Jiayi's entire body slumped to his knees and then his head struck the ground.
Soon, scarlet blood flowed out from beneath Li Jiayi's body, forming a pool.
Bai Ye bent down to look at Li Jiayi, felt for his breath, and after confirming the guy was well and truly dead, he withdrew the Ning Shuang Sword. He then scanned his surroundings and finally decided to jump off the platform and walk forward along the subway tracks.
As the saying goes, a true master never stays in one place for long.
Bai Ye had wanted to retreat after eliminating Wei Yang, but Li Jiayi had appeared. Now, after fighting with Li Jiayi, the possibility of others arriving was even greater, especially Situ Chicheng, who was likely roaming nearby.
Situ Chicheng…
If possible, Bai Ye didn't want to confront that guy so soon.
In his previous life, Situ Chicheng had been a source of great frustration for Bai Ye. While he couldn't be compared to his past self in this life, given how long the world battlefield had been open…
However, Situ Chicheng had a congenital advantage in entering the world battlefield. He was a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect from a Xianxia world. More precisely, before entering the world battlefield, Situ Chicheng was already very strong with his sword control techniques alone. After adapting to the world battlefield, his strength improved rapidly.
In fact, Situ Chicheng's zodiac sign was Zi Shu (Rat), meaning he had completed the most restricted zone missions so far and was very likely the strongest among the twelve.
Of course, Bai Ye had the gachapon machine, so he wasn't incapable of confronting him. But not now. Even if he had to fight, Bai Ye preferred to face Situ Chicheng at the last moment.
Therefore, turning back was impossible. To avoid running into others, Bai Ye could only choose to move forward.
Soon, Bai Ye, following the subway tracks, disappeared into the dark end.
But at this moment…
"Ugh…"
Li Jiayi, who appeared to be completely dead, suddenly groaned, and his body actually twitched. He suddenly raised his arm and pressed it against the wall, leaving a bloody handprint.
"That guy…" Li Jiayi slowly got up, gasping, "Just as I predicted, I couldn't win!"
Li Jiayi leaned against the wall, breathing heavily. After resting for a moment, he raised his right hand, forming a phone with his thumb and pinky, and placed it by his ear.
"Hello!" Li Jiayi said, "I'm dead. I only saved my life using a substitute puppet, but I lost the identity of Si She and am likely out. I can't make a wish."
"So soon?" a voice came from the other end of the phone. "With your strength, you shouldn't be eliminated this quickly, should you?"
Li Jiayi replied, "Can't be helped, there are too many tough characters."
"Then our hard work in the Death Amusement Park to complete the hidden mission and get a wish opportunity is all in vain?"
"It doesn't matter. We've only lost the reward for the wish mission. My purpose in obtaining the wish mission wasn't solely for the reward," Li Jiayi said. "What's important is the region where the Twelve Great Battles are being held. I will leave the coordinates here and hide so as not to be discovered. You must find a way to gather people as soon as possible and locate this area shortly after the Twelve Great Battles conclude."
"Okay, I'll try my best."
Li Jiayi's voice turned cold, and he said sternly, "Not 'try your best.' You must do it!"
"I understand!"
Li Jiayi lowered his right hand, looked around, and then also jumped off the platform, choosing the opposite direction from Bai Ye, and walked forward.
…
At the same time…
Bai Ye walked for a long while, and finally saw a light ahead, indicating he had reached the next station's platform.
After jumping onto the platform, Bai Ye glanced at the electronic display on the side. It had already updated the list of survivors and the location information of a randomly selected participant.
In the second hour of the Twelve Great Battles, the death toll had reached five.
They were You Ji, Wei Yang, Si She, Xu Gou, and Shen Hou!
Bai Ye looked at the list with a speechless expression.
He just wanted to quietly play the role of a sneaky survivor. Yet, among the five who died, he had killed three, exceeding half. Moreover, all of them were direct kills.
At the same time, after his speechless moment, Bai Ye was also startled.
Xu Gou's death was normal. After all, he was being hunted by Situ Chicheng. Surviving was almost a luxury; it was only a matter of dying sooner or later.
What surprised Bai Ye was that Shen Hou was also dead.
After all, the person who obtained the Shen Hou identity was an acquaintance of Bai Ye!
Alexander Garland, known as the Scoundrel, one of the six regional captains of the Hidden Dragon Society!
Although he shouldn't judge his current strength by his previous life, Garland was one of the many experts who survived until the end in Bai Ye's past life. It had only been a little over a month since the world battlefield opened, and yet he was already dead…
This made Bai Ye feel somewhat unreal and a little emotional.
At the same time, this also gave him a sense of crisis. With his second chance, things in this life might not be exactly the same as in his previous life.
After all, the future is unknown and can be changed!
Of course, the sense of crisis only lasted for a fleeting moment. With the gachapon machine in hand, Bai Ye's starting point in this life was much higher than in his previous life. Therefore, Bai Ye firmly believed that what he could achieve before, he could still achieve.
And at the end of the list, the location information of one participant was also announced.
Mao Tu, 22 Huaqing Street, Telecom Building, Ninth Floor, Boiler Room.
Bai Ye couldn't help but grin and say, "No one would willingly go looking for that woman, right?"
Mao Tu's identity belonged to…
The Arms Queen—Bai Lu!
Bai Lu's combat style had already been demonstrated in the building, causing chaos. And it already showed signs of her past life. The sheer number of firearms she carried was terrifying, truly living up to her title of Arms Queen.
And Bai Lu's combat style allowed her to exert tremendous advantage when entering a defensive posture. In fact, Bai Ye felt that if he went to confront her directly, he might be blown up by a barrage of landmines before he even reached her location.
