Chapter 568: 309 Beg for Mercy_2

However, when Zhou Han’s fist smashed into the man’s arm, a crisp "crack" was heard immediately. Then, a burst of blood exploded from the spot where Zhou Han had struck, and the man’s arm was directly broken by Zhou Han’s punch!

He screamed in agony, his eyes widening in extreme fear, and he no longer dared to reach for Shang Jinxiu. Instinctively, he tried to retreat but was chased down by Zhou Han, who punched him again in the chest. Thus, another "crack" resounded, and his chest caved in under the impact, sending him tumbling to the ground. His broken ribs pierced his internal organs. He could not die immediately and his body kept convulsing, blood foam continuously spewing from his mouth.

Among the members of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps, many had designs on Shang Jinxiu, but only one had actually made a move. The others had been waiting, or intending to seize the opportunity to capture someone, but they hadn’t anticipated the sudden appearance of Zhou Han, whose strength was terrifying!

During their moment of terror, Poison Wolf suddenly howled skywards—a sound that eerily resembled the howling of a wolf. This howl seemed to be a signal, and upon hearing it, the remaining members of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps quickly gathered around Poison Wolf.

The Poison Wolf had brought fifty men, but now only twenty remained—not even half! Poison Wolf watched his extremely frightened subordinates and the bodies on the ground, feeling as though his heart was bleeding!

They were usually ruthless, but that was towards others! Having been in this line of business for many years, this was the first time he had been so embarrassed. He had been too careless! He had thought that this mission would most certainly go off without a hitch and that even if there were some losses, they wouldn’t be significant. However, he hadn’t expected to lose even half of his people! The ones who were left had all been injured and were so terrified of Bai Ye and his companions that they were virtually useless!

His eyes flashed slightly, and he said to Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin, "Mr. Bai, Miss Fang, this was all a misunderstanding. I can compensate you for your losses and assure you that today’s events will not be disclosed. Could you please show mercy and spare our lives?"

He knew that his men were no match for Bai Ye and his group; direct confrontation would leave them with no chance of survival. Since that was the case, it wasn’t time for conflict. He was very aware of the Bai Family’s circumstances, having sworn fealty to Bai Yi shortly after the apocalypse. When Bai Yi couldn’t personally handle matters, he would deal with them—thus he knew quite a bit.

Moreover, the discord between the Bai Family’s direct and collateral lines was no secret in Beishi Base. Many were aware of it. Sadly, the collateral line was too weak. Even though they were at odds with the direct line, they couldn’t stir much trouble. So, while people knew about it, they could only mock it in their hearts, never expecting it to cause any loss to the Bai Family.

Poison Wolf had thought the same as others, but witnessing Bai Ye’s capacity, he realized that this wasn’t the case! With the capabilities Bai Ye had just displayed, should he face Bai Yi directly, the White Wolf Mercenary Corps was likely to experience significant turmoil!

After all, in this post-apocalyptic world, everyone wanted to survive better by following a powerful leader. The strength of the White Wolf Mercenary Corps wasn’t just due to their reorganized army, but also because the Bai father and son had awakened to superpowers, both being third-level superpower users!

When Poison Wolf pledged loyalty to Bai Yi, even though Bai Yi had not been a third-level yet, his strength had been nothing to scoff at, formidable enough to impress him. Having now personally witnessed Bai Ye’s capabilities, he faintly realized that Bai Yi might not be a match for Bai Ye!

At that moment, he truly understood why Bai Yi had always been so wary of Bai Ye, and why Bai Yi had warned him to be cautious around Bai Ye. Regrettably, he had been too arrogant to take Bai Yi’s words to heart, and now he could only swallow the bitter consequences himself!

However, if there was even a glimmer of hope, he would fight for it! He didn’t want to die! He wanted to live on!

Bai Ye looked at him for a while, not responding to his words, but instead asked, "What makes you think you can negotiate with me?"

As Poison Wolf was about to speak, he suddenly noticed a terrifying mutated rose extending its thorny branches toward them, gradually forming a surrounding circle. His heart chilled, he urgently said, "Bai Ye! Don’t you want to know who made me do this? I’m not your enemy; I was just following orders! Why must you be so ruthless?"

But after he spoke those words, the branches did not stop, but instead moved even faster, quickly encircling them completely! Someone couldn’t bear it anymore, directly releasing flames trying to burn away the branches. However, at that moment, the leaves on the branches suddenly enlarged, overlapping each other to form a green shield wall. The flames hit the leaves, leaving only scorched marks and completely failing to burn them away!

Seeing this, the members of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps grew even more panicked, all turning to their leader, Poison Wolf, hoping he would come up with a solution.

Knowing they couldn’t continue like this, or they would be thoroughly enclosed and escape would become difficult, Poison Wolf waved his hand, and countless flying knives appeared out of thin air, shooting towards the leaves. The knives hitting the leaves produced sounds as if hitting hard wood, not leaves.

His strength was formidable, and the knives pierced the leaves, but that was all; they couldn’t inflict significant damage on the Red Powder, nor could they stop the sprawling branches.

So, Poison Wolf’s expression changed. He stretched out his right hand and made a grabbing motion in the air. The knives embedded in the leaves suddenly elongated into fine threads, swiftly entwining to eventually form a thumb-thick iron rope. Poison Wolf grabbed one end of the rope, then gave his men a signal, and they all pulled together! (The story continues.
