Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 605 - 467 Desperate Situation!_2
As for the stairs…
Staircases in such places are generally for show. Aside from the circular staircase in the central hall of each floor that connects only a few stories, staircases that connect the major floors are tucked away in dark corners and stairwells.
The paths are narrow and exceptionally dim.
Moreover, they had already been filled to the brim with a crush of people. Forcing his way through the crowd with Bai E's strength was certainly possible, but it would inevitably result in much unnecessary killing.
Glancing down at the floor beneath his feet, a flash of murderous intent passed through Bai E's eyes.
Spiritual Energy concentrated, fire at full blast!
Overlimit Drive, Gift of Liberation, Instant Kill of a Hundred Beasts!
Multiple skills unleashed at once, Bai E, carrying Weslin, directly jumped from the third floor atrium down to the first floor and punched downwards at the floor.
"Hiss?" Beneath Weslin's horrified gaze, Bai E's right fist resolutely smashed towards the ground beneath his feet.
In such dire urgency, he couldn't even utter a word, only managing to emit a meaningless hiss.
The reason this place had become the pinnacle of the entire undercity's black market was that it was taken to extremes in every aspect.
Even the floor here was no ordinary matter.
It was made of reinforced stone material that was no less than that of an alloy of eight elements, and furthermore, it was inscribed with several Arrays that strengthened defenses and added rebounding capabilities with Spiritual Energy.
Shoot a barrage of bullets at this kind of wall, and you might just get half a barrage bounced back at yourself.
What sane person would head-on confront such a wall?
If you want to die, don't drag me into it, agh!
However, lightning-fast thoughts could barely keep up with Bai E's actions.
"Boom!"
His fist, swift as lightning, suddenly crashed down, and a powerful rebound force was instantly absorbed and reflected back in some strange way.
Even Bai E, who had applied "Absolute Defense" to himself, felt his insides quiver violently.
'Thank goodness the rebound has an upper limit.'
If the rebound truly reflected back the force at an absolute ratio, Bai E felt he probably couldn't withstand even half the force of his full-powered strike.
This rebound was not only directed at Bai E but also spread outward from him in a booming shockwave. All those who were unsteady on their feet staggered violently from this one blow on the floor.
Those who were closer simply slipped and crashed to the ground.
Countless angry glances were thrown in an instant, but Bai E ignored these stares and once again gathered strength for another punch towards the floor below him.
With the first punch, cracks had already appeared on the floor.
As long as this thing didn't have the absurd self-repair capabilities of the first-generation intelligent machines, a few more punches, and Bai E felt it was not impossible to carve out a brand new path downstairs.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"

Punch after punch!
The hall vibrated, the chandeliers swayed wildly.
Those unsteady decorative pieces tumbled down to the ground one after another, and the people who had been glaring at Bai E with rage could barely believe their eyes as they saw the floor genuinely being broken through with fists, their eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets.
"Which god descended here?"
"This floor can even be breached, damn it!"
Weslin propped his hands on the ground, unable to rise anyway, so he might as well just lie there; his only task was to ensure he wasn't thrown by the vibrations.
Looking at Bai E, his eyes were filled with awe for his strength.
He only knew that this guy had invincible marksmanship, clearing a path with a pair of machine guns through a sky filled with bugs that even ordinary Mechas would struggle to carve.
He only knew that this guy was unbeatable when piloting a Mecha, able to send even a Mech Pilot from the Mechanical Court scurrying in defeat.
But he never imagined that this marshal, whom he had personally promoted, could break through a special floor that even a barrage of missiles would take several rounds to penetrate, all with his bare hands.
"What kind of War God have I picked up?" Weslin's face was blank, his expression collapsing.
...
["Lucky Strike" charge +50.]
"Boom!"
The sound of the system notification ringing in his ear did not affect Bai E's movements in the slightest. As the final punch thundered down, the force of the rebound had already vanished.
"Whoosh~"
Mixed with some metal rods, massive stones crashed thunderously down toward the empty floors below, as people on the next level, already aware of the commotion overhead, didn't foolishly stand still to watch the spectacle unfold.
No ordinary person was harmed by the falling boulders; Bai E grabbed Weslin's ankle, hoisted him over his shoulder, and jumped down through the large hole he had smashed.
"Holy shit! He really broke through?"
"What 'War God' on earth?!"
Many who could move freely, already attentively following Bai E's movement, lined up behind him, jumping down into the hole without a second thought.
Falling the ten or more meters felt impactless, thanks to Bai E's quietly diffused force. Weslin, hoisted over Bai E's shoulder, gazed blankly at the expressionless warrior before him, feeling for the first time the damn safety of having such a War God by his side.
"Snap!" The moment he landed, Bai E casually threw Weslin aside.
This was the fourth floor, and they were a long way from the first floor!
He started smashing again!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
His right fist was bloodied and blurred, but under the power of Bai E's unlocked super "Rapid Recovery," his wounded skin and bones were indeed regenerating quickly—all while excruciating pain gnawed at Bai E's will.
Even with "Self-Restraint" actively suppressing it, the pain was still heart-wrenching. Had it not been for the "Highly Effective Pain Relief" from the Blood God, Bai E would have lost the courage to strike the next blow.
Nevertheless, the next punch always arrived steadfastly without delay.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The building trembled unstoppably.
One floor!
One floor!
Another floor!
Only those who kept closely behind Bai E knew how incredible the War God before them truly was.
He was basically a superhero!
"Rumble!"
Almost simultaneously with the landing rubble, Bai E, carrying Weslin on his shoulder, was about to rush out of the first floor.
In the time it took him to break through floor by floor, the demon's scent had become so intense it was unimaginable.
With each breath, it seemed one could smell a kind of sweet fragrance that was hard to resist indulging in.
Some with Spiritual Energy but slightly lower levels of it thought they saw a thin, pink mist and, with infatuated smiles, staggered into it.
What followed were horrific screams mixed with an inexplicable sense of delight.
Such sounds were incessant, arising from every corner of the building.
The survivors following Bai E were petrified, their hearts in their throats, as if they might leap out at any moment...
And indeed, one individual spat out a still beating heart right from their mouth!
However, the person themselves continued to follow Bai E as if completely unaware of their own gruesome act.
Bai E merely glanced at this scene before continuing, without looking back, carrying Weslin to the open square outside.
His "Heavenly Eye" Spiritual Energy was burning at all times, shielding Weslin within its range from the demonic breath's interference as much as possible.
Yet the moment he stepped through the vast stone archway of the castle, Bai E saw a layer of neon-like colorful coating bubble up before his eyes, enveloping the entire Gothic castle.
Extending his hand towards what appeared to be a bubble layer so fragile it seemed it would pop at a touch, it felt as if he would be scattered and ignited by an endless high-dimensional space storm.
The demons had cut off the castle's reality to some extent from the actual space around it.
This void barrier prevented people outside from coming in and those inside from holding on to any hope of getting out.
Bai E turned back to see the misshapen humanoid monsters emerging from the underground fighting ring, now almost flooding the entire first-floor hall...
"Hiss~"
"Hiss~"
In the eyes of those monsters, looking at Bai E and the survivors following him, there was nothing but endless greed and desire...
