Wang Ye dodged Yan Zhuofeng's randomly waving battle axe and bent down. His swift and accurate blade technique tore through Yan Zhuofeng's battle suit trouser leg, breaking the latter's knee bone with a cracking sound.
Yan Zhuofeng screamed miserably and lost his balance. He almost lost his grip on the battle axe as he fell to the ground.
Wang Ye moved behind him and slashed down with his saber.
Chi!
The other party was beheaded.
Wang Ye's body was covered in blood, but his eyes were cold. He forced himself to calm down and picked up the pepper spray from the ground.
The process had been smoother than he had expected. Although he was still a little shaken, the battle with the mutated human had allowed him to adapt and prepare himself mentally.
The reason why he changed his plan at the last minute and chose to make a move here was because the other party stayed on each level for a long time.
This meant that they were searching the place meticulously and the success rate of a sneak attack was not high. Once the two of them joined forces, he would inevitably be injured.
On the contrary, after searching a room, the other party's alertness would drop to the lowest.
Another advantage of ambushing at the door was that the enemy couldn't escape from the stairs. The worst outcome was that they would jump out of the window.
At the very least, if the other party broke their legs, they wouldn't be able to escape.
"There are two more."
Wang Ye quickly went downstairs.
Of Yu Haitao's four underlings, Sun Yang was the strongest, while Ding Jinchao was the most cunning.
...
Downstairs, Sun Yang and Ding Jinchao were searching the surroundings.
Suddenly, a scream came from the residential building where Shi Hou had been keeping watch, followed by the sound of an intense battle.
Sun Yang and Ding Jinchao quickly turned back and looked up.
"Third floor! It's Zhuo Feng's voice!" Sun Yang's expression changed slightly as he said to Ding Jinchao, "You stay here. I'll go up and take a look."
"Okay, Brother Yang!" Ding Jinchao immediately responded. When he saw Sun Yang go upstairs, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. He quickly retreated and looked around. An idea came to him, and he ran to another building.
...
Whoosh!
Sun Yang went straight to the third floor.
He could tell from Yan Zhuofeng's scream just now that something bad had happened!
If his guess was correct, Shi Hou must have been discovered when he was tailing Wang Ye. Then, the latter decided to ambush them and catch them off guard.
However, the other party was fighting two against one. Even if they were ambushed, they should still have a huge advantage. Especially since the other team had Yan Zhuofeng, who was only slightly inferior to him in actual combat.
Wait a minute!
Sun Yang, who had just crossed the second floor's stairs, suddenly felt something was wrong and almost subconsciously twisted his body.
A blade light suddenly appeared in the originally empty room 202 and slashed at his neck.
Clang!
Sun Yang blocked the attack with his steel rod. The sound was deafening and his arm went numb.
"Despicable!" Sun Yang was slammed into the wall by the huge impact.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about the burning pain on his back as he used the steel rod to defend himself.
Wang Ye had already appeared in front of him, his blade swift and decisive.
It was too fast!
Wang Ye's reaction speed and decisiveness surprised Sun Yang.
It was as if he was another person!
In his impression, Wang Ye didn't have such strength.
However, he knew very well what Wang Ye's appearance here meant.
Yan Zhuofeng and Shi Hou were dead!
He was no longer the useless Wang Ye of the past!
"What a powerful saber technique!" Sun Yang was unable to resist.
His rod techniques were suppressed to the point that he could not display them, and he was at a disadvantage from the beginning.
Even though he had a stronger physique than Wang Ye, he was still in a hard spot.
Wang Ye's saber techniques were natural, and each slash was aimed at a spot that was difficult for him to block.
Moreover, the saber was like a part of Wang Ye's body. His attacks were continuous and there were no openings.
He was too strong!
Sun Yang had only felt this kind of pressure when he fought Yu Haitao.
Cold sweat trickled down his back.
If it wasn't for the fact that the rod technique was suitable for defense, he would probably be dead by now.
Wang Ye's aura suppressed Sun Yang's. He suddenly changed his tactic, sweeping his leg over while slashing from the side, causing Sun Yang to stagger and fall on the stairs.
Sun Yang subconsciously held onto the handrail of the stairs to maintain his balance, but Wang Ye's blade fell powerfully.
Clang!
He slashed the steel rod from Sun Yang's hand.
Clang!
The sound of the steel rod falling caused Sun Yang's face to turn pale.
He suddenly recalled how the four of them had beaten Wang Ye up ten days ago. He had roared with laughter and hit the back of Wang Ye's head, delivering the final blow. Blood oozed out and Wang Ye fell to the ground...
Chi!
The pain hit his heart, and the world spun.
Sun Yang felt as if he was flying. Wang Ye's blurry figure with a saber appeared in his eyes before all of it turned pitch black, and his consciousness was instantly obliterated.
Bang!
His head fell to the ground while his body collapsed on the stairs.
"There's one more."
Wang Ye didn't stop and quickly left the residential building.
The surroundings were clear. Wang Ye looked left and right but didn't see anyone. He frowned slightly.
This is troublesome!
If Ding Jinchao had brought the phone and reported the matter to the instructor, he would have a headache dealing with the aftermath even if he was doing all this in self-defense.
Putting everything else aside, it would definitely affect his graduation and prevent him from successfully receiving the evolution drug.
There were two possibilities. Ding Jincha had either ran away or hid.
Wang Ye quickly returned to the residential building and took out Sun Yang's phone from his pocket. He unlocked it with his fingerprint and dialed a number while quickly going down the stairs and rushing out.
He was extremely fast, and the entire process took less than half a minute.
...
"Impossible! How could this be!"
The moment Ding Jinchao saw Wang Ye appear downstairs with a saber, his mind was in a daze.
He had thought of many possibilities, and hiding first was just a foolproof plan.
However, he didn't expect Wang Ye to survive the siege of Brother Yang and the other two!
Not to mention, from Wang Ye's stance, it seemed that he didn't just survive.
This was because the first thing he did when he came down from the residential building was to look around instead of running away!
What was he looking at?
Swoosh!
Ding Jinchao broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately had an answer in his heart.
Fear!
Ding Jinchao's face turned ashen as negative emotions welled up in his heart.
Call! Immediately call for help!
Ding Jinchao trembled as he took out his phone. Before he could turn on the screen, a vibrating ringtone rang. It showed Brother Yang's number.
Ding Jinchao was stunned.
Was Brother Yang calling him? Was he mistaken? Was Wang Ye really just trying to escape and looking around for an escape route?
Ding Jinchao picked up the phone in a flurry.
"Hello, Brother Yang!" Ding Jinchao whispered.
There was no reply.
"Hello? Is the signal bad?"
Ding Jinchao revealed a puzzled expression. He held his phone and looked at it, then put it to his ear again.
"Can you hear me, Brother Yang?"
"Can you hear me, Brother Yang?"
An echo came from behind him.
It shook his mind.
Ding Jinchao trembled violently, and his neck turned back stiffly like a block of wood.
In an instant, the thick smell of blood suffocated him. Wang Ye's thin figure appeared in front of him, his battle uniform covered in blood.
He held a saber in his right hand, and blood dripped from the blade. He was like a god of death who had just returned from hell.
Seeing the phone in Wang Ye's left hand, Ding Jinchao immediately understood everything. He sat on the ground and peed himself.
"Listen, listen to me, Brother Ye!" Ding Jinchao stretched out his hands as if he had seen a ghost.
"It has nothing to do with me! It really has nothing to do with me!"
Ding Jinchao waved his hands repeatedly. His breathing was so rapid that he could hardly breathe, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"I didn't see anything just now. It's true! Please, please let me go! I -"
Chi!
Wang Ye raised his hand and slashed down.
Ding Jinchao's eyes were wide as his head rolled on the ground. He died with his eyes wide open.
Die!
