In a world of chaos and demonic warfare, the Axe Gang reigns supreme.

Bai Ye arrived beside Lu Ming and the other two, then leaped up with his double axes in hand and swung them down at Ying He Jiro.

Seeing Shirayuki swing his axe at him with the force of splitting a mountain, Kageshiro gritted his teeth in anger.

"Baka!"

With a roar, Kageshiro swung his katana to meet the incoming Xuanhua double axes.

Then, Xuanhua's double axes struck the katana, cutting it into three pieces, which fell in front of Yingzuru Jiro.

Seeing the power of Byakuya's axe, Kagetsuru Jiro's expression trembled, and shock and panic surged in his eyes.

Bai Ye's strength far exceeded his expectations.

With his weapon gone, Kageshiro frantically reached for his waist, preparing to draw his gun and shoot Byakuya.

Bai Ye had anticipated this move and kicked his pistol away before Bai Ye could even reach for his waist.

Without his katana and pistol, Kagetsuru Jiro was like a toothless viper, his threat level plummeting to its lowest point.

Immediately, Lu Ming and his two companions abandoned all restraint and launched a frenzied attack on him.

Although Kageshiro was not weak, he quickly became powerless against the combined attack of Byakuya and his three companions.

Rockburst Fist!

Kageshiro's long-standing vigilance faltered, allowing Lu Ming to seize an opportunity and deliver a powerful punch.

With a single punch from Lu Ming, Kageshiro was sent flying, crashing towards Byakuya.

A guillotine axe!

Seeing the approaching Kageshiro, Byakuya showed no mercy and swung his double axes forward.

Then, Xuanhua's double axes swept towards Yingzhe Jiro like a pair of giant scissors, brutally severing his waist and separating him from his body.

"you……"

Sensing the chill from his waist, Kageshiro, still clinging to life, stared wide-eyed, filled with resentment.

He never imagined that his meticulously planned trap would turn out this way.

"Brother Bai, impressive skills!"

"I never expected that there would be such a chivalrous person as Brother Bai in the Axe Gang."

"Brother Bai, I owe you a favor. Just let me know if you need anything in the future."

……

As Lu Ming and the others expressed their gratitude, the numbers above their heads transformed into orbs of light and flew into Bai Ye's brow.

While Bai Ye and the others were talking, the battles of the others also ended.

However, unlike Bai Ye, they did not kill Zhao Yue and his group directly, but instead subdued them.

Zhao Yue, Jingang, and Bai Lang knelt on the ground, slapping their own faces while repenting and begging for forgiveness from the crowd.

Seeing Zhao Yue and the other two's actions, some people began to soften and suggested giving them a chance to change their ways, but this was immediately opposed by others.

For a moment, the crowd split into two camps, arguing about whether or not to release Zhao Yue and the others.

"What's all that noise over there? Let's go check it out."

Upon noticing the situation of the people around him, Lu Ming, with a hint of curiosity, walked over with Bai Ye and the other two.

Perhaps out of respect for Bai Ye, everyone saw him approaching and immediately asked him what he thought.

"Brother Bai, could you give us some advice on how to deal with the people from the three major martial arts schools?"

After Xing Tao finished speaking, everyone looked at Bai Ye, wanting to see what his attitude would be.

Bai Ye glanced at everyone before speaking, "Those people suggested omitting the three major martial arts schools. Please stand to my left so I can count the approximate number of people."

As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, some people stepped out of the crowd and gathered to his left.

After all these people had gathered, Bai Ye was surprised to find that none of them had provided any information about the nation's destiny.

In that case, those who suggested releasing Zhao Yue and the others are probably people with impure motives, and are no different from Zhao Yue and the others.

The reason they haven't joined the Shadow Crane family is probably because they haven't found an opportunity yet.

Bai Ye glanced at them, then revealed a mocking smile, looking at Zhao Yue and his group: "Since so many people have suggested giving you a chance to live, I think it's not unreasonable."

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Zhao Yue and the others were overjoyed and kowtowed to Bai Ye in gratitude.

They could all see that although Bai Ye was only at the early stage of Ming Jin cultivation, he was the most prestigious person here.

Since Bai Ye said he would give them a chance, it must be true.

Those who had begged for mercy for Zhao Yue and the others showed joy upon seeing Bai Ye's support for them.

"Brother Bai..."

Upon discovering that Bai Ye intended to spare Zhao Yue and the others, Xing Tao felt a surge of anxiety and wanted to speak up to persuade him otherwise.

However, before Xing Tao could speak, Lu Ming interrupted him with a raised hand: "Don't rush, Brother Bai Ye must have a deeper meaning in doing this. Just watch from the sidelines."

Although Lu Ming had only known Bai Ye for a short time, he could sense that Bai Ye was a ruthless and cunning man.

Under the varied gazes of the crowd, Bai Ye's smile deepened. He pointed at the group of people begging for mercy and said to Zhao Yue and the others with a faint smile, "Since they are pleading for you, then go and take their lives. As long as you can kill them and survive, I will spare your lives."

Bai Ye's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.

Immediately, everyone's gaze towards Bai Ye underwent a tremendous change, and they began to re-evaluate Bai Ye.

The young man before them, who resembled a giant, possessed not only a compassionate and chivalrous heart but also ruthless and decisive methods.

"Bai Ye, you can't do this!"

"You make your compatriots kill each other; you are even more vicious than the Japanese pirates."

"Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"

"I regret it now, I won't beg for them anymore."

……

In an instant, all sorts of words came from the mouths of those pleading for mercy.

Bai Ye simply ignored their words, glaring fiercely at Zhao Yue and the others: "Aren't you going to make a move? Are you waiting for me to back out?"

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Zhao Yue and the others trembled and immediately charged at the person who had begged for their lives.

Zhao Yue and his associates were capable of treasonous acts, so they were naturally vicious and extremely ruthless when they took action.

In just a few moments, several of those who pleaded for them were killed.

"Good, well done!"

"They pleaded for Zhao Yue and others, and now they are reaping the consequences of their own actions."

"That's right, they deserved it, they died for good."

……

Watching Zhao Yue and the others kill each other, Xing Tao and the others felt no sympathy whatsoever; on the contrary, they felt a sense of exhilaration.

As Xing Tao and the others cheered, Lu Ming and his two companions approached Bai Ye and whispered in his ear, "Brother Bai Ye, if Zhao Yue and the others survive, are you really going to spare them?"

"Spare them?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye's lips curled slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, the meaning of which couldn't be clearer.

Seeing Bai Ye's performance, Lu Ming and the other two trembled and felt a chill creep down their spines.

At this moment, they truly felt the terror and danger emanating from the young man before them.

Compared to him, Zhao Yue and others were far inferior in terms of strength, intellect, and methods.

No wonder he could manipulate not only the Shadow Crane family but also the two groups of people in front of him.

While Lu Ming and the others were shocked, they also felt a sense of relief, thankful that they hadn't gone against Bai Ye.
