As Bai Ye and Liuchuan Suko’s figures fully appeared, the R-country military officer’s expression drastically changed. His instincts screamed danger, and these were not his own people!
Bang!
In the next moment, without the slightest hesitation, he decisively pulled the trigger. The deafening gunshot echoed throughout the room and resounded outside.
What! Liuchuan Suko’s usually placid face immediately paled. The R-country officer’s reaction far exceeded her expectations! She wasn’t worried about Bai Ye being harmed, but the gunshot would alert the entire military camp, the R-country government, and whatever lay within ‘Misty Valley.’ That would be troublesome…
She turned to look at Bai Ye in astonishment. Everything seemed to slow down dozens of times…
As the gunshot rang out, a glint of cold light flashed in Bai Ye’s calm eyes.
In the next moment, the bullet fired from the barrel, as it flew towards him, slowed down to an extreme degree, as if time itself had infinitely stretched.
Then, it stopped completely about a foot in front of Bai Ye. It didn’t fall, but simply hovered in the air.
How… how is this possible!
The R-country officer was utterly dumbfounded. In the next instant, sheer terror replaced his astonishment.
He understood something! The person before him was not human!
Liuchuan Suko’s beautiful eyes widened, her gaze flickering. This was another ‘magic’ she had never witnessed! At the same time, she quietly withdrew the small step she had taken forward, her senses alert to the approaching footsteps from the office doorway.
“Someone’s at the door.”
“Mm.”
Bai Ye responded with a faint, calm voice, looking at the R-country officer before him with a playful gaze.
With a mere thought, the suspended bullet fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The R-country officer flinched, swallowing hard again. What was this fellow’s background?
He still held his gun aimed at Bai Ye, but he didn’t fire again. Instead, his gaze subtly shifted towards the door as he asked, “Who are you, Your Excellency? Why have you come to our military camp?”
“He’s stalling for time!” Liuchuan Suko warned urgently, as the footsteps at the door grew increasingly rapid and clear!
A curve appeared on Bai Ye’s lips, and his unhurried voice spoke, “Bai Ye, ever heard of it?”
Bai Ye?
The R-country officer’s mind was filled with confusion as he looked towards the doorway.
*Bang~*
“Colonel?”
“Who’s there?”
With a loud crash, the door was kicked open. A small squad of R-country soldiers armed with rifles rushed in. Seeing their commanding officer aiming a gun at two strangers, they immediately raised their own weapons defensively.
A flicker of excitement crossed the R-country Colonel’s eyes, and he shouted, “Kill them!”
With a loud roar, the charging soldiers’ eyes filled with killing intent as they pressed their triggers.
But before their triggers were pulled, a sharp command exploded in their minds, filled with ruthlessness and coldness.
“Kneel!”
Accompanying it was a terrifying pressure, pressing down heavily upon them, causing their faces to contort in shock.
*Thump thump thump!*
They were utterly unable to resist. Before the dreadful voice had even faded from their minds, their knees experienced searing pain, buckled, and they crashed to the ground, kneeling heavily.
Their hands also dropped, as if a mountain was pinning them down, preventing them from rising or even lifting their weapons!
“Ah! This…”
Liuchuan Suko instinctively adopted a combat stance, but in the next moment, seeing the R-country soldiers all kneeling before her, a tempest of shock surged within her.
The level of astonishment was no less than the ‘magic’ of lightning and fire Bai Ye had displayed earlier!
Judging by the R-country soldiers’ gear, armed from head to toe, they were clearly elite R-country warriors. Yet, with a single sentence from the man beside her, they were all subdued…
This was terrifying!
“Baga yaro!”
The R-country Colonel and his soldiers widened their eyes, their faces contorted in fury. To kneel! This was an utter disgrace for them!
They tried to rise, exerting all their strength. Veins bulged on their arms and foreheads, yet they remained unable to stand, unable to even move. Only their eyes and mouths could still function.
“Shh!”
Bai Ye made a silencing gesture towards the R-country soldiers who were still shouting curses, but they continued their tirade.
“Shine! Damn it!”
“You bastard! Let me go!”
“Let me go, and I’ll blow your dog head off!”
…
“So noisy!”
Bai Ye took two steps towards the Colonel, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.
*Slap~*
An invisible force struck the R-country Colonel’s face, directly contorting it, with blood flowing from his nose and mouth.
The soldiers behind him became even more vociferous.
Then, a terrifying force was placed on their necks from thin air.
*Crack! Crack! Crack!*
The curses abruptly ceased. One by one, the ‘little devils’ slumped forward, their heads falling to the ground, maintaining their kneeling posture. They were silent, eerily so!
Liuchuan Suko’s gaze trembled, her expression shifting. This time, she could feel it; these R-country soldiers were truly all dead.
What terrified her was that she had no idea what power Bai Ye had used! She couldn’t understand it!
“Within Misty Valley, what do you use, honored Colonel?”
A refined smile appeared on Bai Ye’s face.
