Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 30: Under the Beginning of Death

Mike re-sealed the supply chest, ripped off Kuhan and the others' clothes into strips, and twisted them into ropes. Finally, as a hauling rope for the box, Mike dragged the box into the dense forest by the lake. After hiding the chest in a proper place, he returned to the lake. Mike picked up Mimi's revolver and found two bullet drums on her body.

After walking around, one of Kuhan's spears and Cora's dagger fell into Mike's hands. After washing the bloodstained thorns with the lake water, Mike equipped himself with the weapons and prepared to hunt down the others.

A round ball of metal flew over the lake and hung over Mike's head. Mike knew that it was an instrument used by the committee to monitor them, so he gave the metal ball a middle finger before turning around and leaving.

On the east and west sides of the city, there was a steam airship doing a live broadcast. Now, on the big screen, it was Mike's middle finger. A host said, "How sinister, Mike. Killing four competitors just like that is a dark horse. I wonder how long this dark horse will be able to run?"

"Alright, everyone. Let's see what the other youths are doing. Right, our number one ranking is like a young master from a wealthy family, Allen. I don't know what's going on."

"Yi, it seems like the situation isn't good."

Alan's condition was indeed bad. He had just packed up the condensed water and the first aid medication. Before he could take it away, he heard the rumbling of the wind in the forest. Alan suddenly looked forward, and a figure suddenly ran over from a path in the forest. It was a youth with slightly curled hair. When he rushed over, he flipped out two three-pronged thorns and swiftly rotated them. The ends of the thorns drew a halo under the sunlight.

Allen immediately put down the supplies and went straight to greet them. He stretched out his hand and held the hilt of Wild Slaughter's saber behind him as he dived forward. They didn't say anything to each other at all, and both of them saw the determination to kill from each other's eyes.

Very quickly, the two figures collided in the middle of the forest path. The curly-haired youth flipped his trident and stabbed Alan's chest heavily. In his prediction, Allen probably had several ways of avoiding it. Whichever evasive method Allen used, the trident in his other hand would cause Allen a lot of trouble.

What surprised him was that Alan didn't dodge!

The trident immediately pierced Alan's chest, but the tip of the spike felt as if it was blocked by a hard object. What was even worse was that the thing was still very smooth, so the trident slid away. The youth was slightly stunned. In the moment of distraction, Allen finally waved his arm. Kuang Tu waved his hand like a ferocious beast with a fierce sound of air-piercing, bringing with it a few red spots.

Alan and the teenager passed by in a wrong way.

The youth's body shook. Suddenly, his head separated from his body and he fell to the ground at the same time. Life and death happen in an instant, so how could there be so much time to distract you? But speaking of which, it was also his bad luck. The curly-haired teenager had never thought that Allen's clothes were still wearing light defensive armor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been absent-minded and killed.

However, after killing this opponent, two more youths pounced out from behind the bushes on both sides.

These two youths were no strangers to Alan. He had seen their information. The one on the left had a metal armor on his right hand. He was not tall but looked very strong. He was ranked 11th. On the right, Joe was taller than Allen, and at the age of fourteen, he held a painted tactical saber in his hand. The two of them trapped Ellen in the middle, staring at him covetously.

"You guys came quite quickly." Alan said.

"I have no choice. Who told you to be ranked first? Once you enter, the committee will announce your coordinates. The few of us are closest to you, so we are very happy to receive your supplies." Said Joe as he waved his saber.

Alan actually laughed at this time: "Yes, as long as you can kill me."

The silent Hera roared like a cub lion. He brought a strong wind and smashed the metal armor against Alan's cheek. Allen could not guarantee that his little head would be able to withstand the impact of such a thing. Berserk Tu bounced up, and Alan suddenly exerted his strength and slashed heavily on Hera's armor.

The broadsword collided with the iron fist and let out an extremely loud and clear cry! Hera and Alan retreated at the same time. This collision of power seemed to be on par with each other. However, Alan knew that he was still two points weaker in terms of pure strength. He only managed to draw with Hera by relying on Kuang Tu's own weight.

The two of them retreated, Hera's back empty, but there was Joe behind Alan.

Qiao smiled and stabbed the tactical saber straight at Alan's neck like a snake spitting out a message. This attack was extremely sinister. Although Allen had light defensive armor on him, the light armor could not protect the back of his neck.

Adding on the fact that he had clashed head-on with Hera at this moment, as he retreated, he seemed to be throwing himself at Joe's blade.

Just as he was about to prick him, Alan suddenly kicked the ground and twisted his waist to the side, causing him to spin like a top. At the same time that Qiao Yidao pierced through the air, Alan borrowed the momentum to sweep through the area, taking out Qiao's waist line!

"Bastard!" Joe also reacted quickly and immediately sucked his abdomen away. However, his ribs went cold, but he was still wiped by Kuang Tu's blade, and blood began to ooze out from under his clothes.

"Let's go together and kill him!" Joe shouted and greeted Hera.

The two youths pounced forward, their long sabers and iron fists interweaving into a dense offensive. Alan calmed down. Berserk Slaughter was a heavy weapon that was not suitable to compete with them in speed. However, Wild Slaughter's characteristics were exploited to the extreme in Alan's hands. The surface of the black steel broadsword was wide, and when swung horizontally, it was like a long shield. Allen borrowed some of the attacks from the two of them and occasionally counterattacked to slightly relieve their attacks.

Kuang Tu waved his hand, but he kept Ellen's vital points behind his saber, causing Joe and Hera to suffer a fruitless attack. Ellen knew very well that the two of them were the easiest to consume physical energy in a single attack. Once they used up the play, they would definitely reveal a flaw. Fighting with the two reminded Alan of the days he had spent with Bai Fang. Bai Fang taught him the method to fight against some powerful dangerous species, which was to exhaust the target's physical strength as much as possible. When the opponent was tired, it was the time to kill him in one blow.

The Snow Wolf's attacks never dragged on. If they didn't come out, they would definitely be killed as soon as they came out. After living with the wolves for five years, Allen's tactics had more or less the shadow of a snow wolf.

He was now like a hunting snow wolf, calm and patient.

But the more Alan acted like this, the more Jo and Hera lost their composure. After a long time, the two of them were starting to feel a little irritated.

After switching positions again, Hera suddenly seized an opportunity. While Alan was moving, Berserk Tu slid down slightly, revealing his vital points in his chest. The youth's eyes lit up as he launched a heavy punch!

This punch landed heavily on Alan's chest. In Hera's experience, even a steel plate would sink if he punched down like this, let alone a human body. However, when her fist smashed hard, Hera realized that Alan's body was much harder than she had imagined. With a loud sound, the faint ripples from the tip of his fist caused Allen's jacket to explode, revealing the defensive light armor beneath his jacket.

Seeing this light armor, Hera almost vomited blood. Although the individual armor was not comparable to the mana series armor stomach, it could be made of composite armor. Although it looked thin, it had excellent resistance to attacks. Although Hera's punch had left a few cracks on the armor leaf on his chest, it was far from what he had expected/expected Alan's heart to explode.

However, Hera's fist had already used Origin Energy. The force from the Origin Energy collided with Alan's internal organs, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. However, Alan took advantage of this opportunity to clench Hera's fist with one hand. Then, Berserk Tu raised his head, bringing with him a wave of blood that cut off Hera's arm!

Hera screamed and retreated, her other hand gripping the broken arm. Just as he was about to escape, Kuang Tu suddenly turned his blade and drew a beautiful arc.

Crescent Moon Slash!

The broadsword drew an arc and took Hera's head. Qiao, who was watching from the side, opened his eyes wide. He thought that Allen's saber stance was old. Unexpectedly, Allen suddenly crossed his left hand and, in the posture of holding the broadsaber back, his body spun wildly, causing the blade to draw out another crescent moon to slash towards him.

Joe stretched out his left hand and reached out with pure eyesight to grasp Kuang Tu's saber tip. Wild Slaughter turned into a square blade, and the tip of the blade did not open. As soon as Joe pressed down on it, he stopped the blade's momentum. Ellen was obviously stunned. Joe sneered and sent the tactical saber forward. The blade had already pierced into Ellen's lower abdomen. There was no light armor to protect them for ease of movement. As for the tactical uniform, it could not stop the blade from advancing. However, the metal loop in the interlayer somewhat slowed down the blade's momentum, giving Alan time to gather his strength and retract his abdomen to prevent the other party from stabbing the blade to the end.

Joe watched Alan's abdominal wound begin to bleed. He finally relaxed and smiled, "Looks like my knife is longer than yours."

"Not necessarily." Alan suddenly smiled brightly.

Seeing this smile, Qiao Dun felt that something was wrong and saw the lines on Kuang Tu's left and right blades quickly shine. Then, with a buzzing sound, another energy blade appeared from the tip of the saber without a blade!

Kuang Tu's [Energy Sharpness] was activated, and even though the energy blade he shot out was only 20 centimeters long. However, the blade was not indestructible, so Joe's four fingers were cut off, and a burning sensation came from his neck, but his throat had already been sliced open by the ejection of the blade.

Joe retreated and took the saber out of Alan's abdomen. He loosened his grip and the tactical saber fell to the ground. Qiao reached out to cover her throat, only to find that blood oozed out uncontrollably, oozing out from between his fingers and spraying blood-red patches on the leaves beneath her feet.

He wanted to say something, but in the end, he only let out a few hollow exhalations and powerlessly knelt on the ground before throwing himself on his back.

Alan heaved a sigh of relief, and a cold sensation suddenly appeared behind his head. All of his hair stood on end in an instant. In the surface training camp, he had let Maho aim his sniper rifle at him. Therefore, he was very familiar with this feeling. It was because someone had locked onto it with sniper equipment!
