Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 48: Liaoyuan Blade



Chapter 48: Liaoyuan Blade

The power of nine spins was also used to attack vital organs like the heart. Before the barrier could break through, he was injured first. Alan smiled bitterly as he wiped the blood off his chest and felt a sharp pain in his chest. He rested for a moment, but did not intend to give up. He closed his eyes again and guided the Origin Energy to continue breaking through the barrier.

This time, blood seeped out from his mouth and nose!

The third time, Alan flew backwards. His skin turned red, and many wounds on his arms and chest were repaired and split open. However, his repeated injuries did not weaken Alan's fighting spirit. Instead, they stirred up a wave of ruthlessness in his blood. He snorted and activated his Origin Energy for the fourth time.

The vortex of Origin Energy collided with his body once again, transforming into a comet of Origin Energy that slammed into his heart again and again. Alan clenched his teeth and the comet smashed into the barrier. In his consciousness, a barrier formed by flowing patterns of light appeared. This barrier was already shaking to the point of shattering, and many of the lines broke apart one by one. As the cracks spread out, Alan could feel that behind this barrier, as Hughton had said, there were two more thick and solid invisible barriers.

After the impact, the Origin Energy vortexes naturally dispersed, and when they swept back like ebbing tides. Allen let out a roar from the depths of his soul and forcefully pulled the vortex to collide once more, sending out a flood of Origin Energy that violently smashed into the barrier.

After being struck by the flood tide of Origin Energy in a short period of time, the first barrier finally cracked and shattered. It exploded into countless dots of light and disappeared. The Origin Energy Flood Tide didn't stop moving, directly smashing into his heart, and began to flow according to a certain law. In Allen's consciousness, he could see that the Origin Energy formed a blurry pattern.

At this time, he finally lost consciousness because of the trauma. However, even though Allen had lost consciousness, his Origin Energy was circulating on its own. As a result, the pattern in his heart became clearer and clearer, gradually revealing that it was a long sword that was burning with flames!

Lucy was sitting at the exit of the cave when Alan broke through the barrier and constructed the circuit. There was a bush of weeds covering most of the entrance of the cave. People hid behind it, and it was very difficult for people outside to discover it. But Lucy could see the commotion outside. The world outside the cave was filled with a dry smell. The yellowish-brown surface and the khaki-colored mountains formed a monotonous patch of color. Occasionally, rampant wolves passed through the mountain paths, but they did not discover the cave.

As time passed, the sun began to set in the west. As the sun fell into the horizon, the afterglow left Lucy a silhouette of a distant mountain. A few hundred meters away from the cave, a figure suddenly flashed across a fork in the road.

Lucy was originally a little drowsy, but when she saw the figure, she was shocked.

Ans finally came!

She looked into the depths of the cave. Alan seemed to have yet to complete the construction of the circuit. Lucy gritted her teeth and got out of the cave. Then she found a few stones to conceal herself and sneaked away in the direction of the figure.

After Lucy left, a tall figure faintly appeared among the rocks. Metallon looked at Lucy's back and shook his head helplessly. His figure was once again concealed, but there was a seemingly indistinct ripple that followed behind Lucy.

An Si's head popped out from behind a rock. He frowned and looked around. This mountain area was far more complicated than he had imagined. There were many winding paths and many forks in the sheep intestine. Walking inside was no different from walking in a maze. The traces he had deliberately set up for Alan during the day had led to a nearby wolf nest, although a few rampant wolves could not do anything to him. However, as more and more berserk wolves appeared, Ans could only choose to retreat.

After such a long delay, it was already dusk when the clues were found again and touched. The night had increased his ability to engrave, but the mountains were not an ideal battlefield. It was difficult to find Allen alone, but Anse was patient and believed that he was the winner.

I will never fail again!

The scene of being whipped by the representative of the Alexandrian Clan was still vivid in his eyes, and the flying whip shadows stung his nerves even more. All of this would end after killing Alan and Lucy. As long as he could leave this place, he would be able to join the Alexandrian family as the victor. Even if he was only a clan warrior, with his ability, who would dare to say that he could not rise to prominence? It was even possible for the Alexandrian Clan to absorb it when it was strong enough to become a disciple of another clan.

At that time, his status would be completely different.

And all of this, only two people needed to be killed!

Ans looked west and narrowed his eyes. The afterglow of the setting sun was about to disappear. He climbed up a larger rock and could see the open surroundings. He wanted to borrow the last remaining light to observe the terrain nearby so as to deduce where Alan was most likely to hide.

Just as his gaze inadvertently swept past the cave where Alan was hiding, the fluff behind Anse's neck suddenly stood up. His heart was beating wildly, and his blood was speeding up. This was a dangerous feeling! He immediately threw himself down and jumped off the rock. The sound of gunfire rang out from behind him. The rocks were grazed by the bullets, and sparks splashed out, bringing along a piece of rubble and landing on Anse's back.

Ann rolled on the ground and pressed against the rock before saying, "What a warm welcome, Lucy."

"Of course I don't dare to neglect you, Mr. Powerful Sealer."

Lucy's voice was very drifting. The first sentence was still on the left, and the next sentence was already on the right. Ann knew that she was using her fastest movement technique to disrupt her judgment. She had obviously succeeded. But this way, Lucy's body energy will drop very quickly. When she could no longer exercise like this, it was the time for the girl to die.

"I'm curious, Lucy. How many bullets are left in your magazine?" Ans suddenly said.

He knew very well that Lucy could not have too many magazines left on her. He had personally witnessed that the girl had already used up two magazines in the previous exchange with Wayne. So Ann judged that there was only one magazine left on Lucy, and there weren't too many bullets. For a gunman, their greatest limitation is ammunition. Once the ammunition was used up, even Origin Energy experts would not be much more troublesome than ordinary people.

Especially for an engraver like Ans.

The afterglow of the setting sun finally disappeared completely. The moment before it disappeared, a flash of light suddenly flashed through the rocks on the left. Ans keenly caught the flash and jumped away from the stone. In the next moment, sparks splashed everywhere where where he was squatting, and the sound of gunfire resounded throughout the space.

Lucy leaned over and walked in the direction of Anse under the cover of the rocks in front of her, not forgetting to say, "Don't worry, there are enough bullets left to kill you!"

Although her chest was bamboo, the truth was that Lucy didn't have much bullets left.

There were still five bullets left in that magazine!

Another gunshot echoed. Ans locked onto the location of the gunshot and quickly rushed forward. He didn't know that as the two of them chased after each other, he was getting farther and farther away from the cave where Alan was hiding.

Just as Lucy was diverting Anse away, Alan still hadn't woken up in the cave. However, his consciousness remained in a strange space.

Alan didn't know what was going on. He could feel that this was a dark, but absolutely vast space. It was as if he was standing in the void of the universe. Until he saw the light, light rising from the front. Located far away, like the end of this world. It leapt up from the void, flowing with an orange luster.

It was like a ray of light rising from the horizon before dawn. The ribbon of light formed by the orange light curved upwards, forming a perfect arc across the world. Perhaps one day, that light would shine on this space that was as dry as the depths of the universe. But at this moment, Allen's will left this space.

Then he heard the faint sound of gunfire.

He opened his eyes. First, it was pitch black in front of him, and then he could gradually see the blurry cave dome. The moonlight replaced the sunlight and streaks of silver light shone into the cave, preventing the environment from becoming pitch black. Allen moved his hands and feet. Because he had been unconscious for a long time, his hands and feet were numb, but his spirit was unexpectedly good.

Alan regained his senses and remembered that he had already broken through the shield when he was unconscious. He immediately closed his eyes and used his mind to sense the Origin Energy in his body. Immediately, he felt the origin power flickering in his heart. When the tentacle of his consciousness reached into the light, a pattern appeared from the light.

It was a long sword that was burning with flames. When Alan felt it, a name naturally floated up.

Liaoyuan Blade!

This was an engraving that Alan had activated. When he felt this engraving, he suddenly knew that the Liaoyuan Blade was only an initial engraving. As the Origin Energy realm increased, it would also advance along with it, producing even more powerful abilities.

On the prairie blade, orange light flashed past, forming patterns that resembled electronic circuits. It was the first genetic circuit constructed by the vortex of Origin Energy. This circuit provided Alan with his first ability in life: Burning!

Burning could add a ball of fire to Allen's weapon at a thousand degrees Fahrenheit for a duration of one minute. Because of the engraving of the "Prairie Blade", this ball of flame also possessed a certain viscosity, which meant that it could spread and ignite other things. Such as clothing and even the human body. The flames produced by combustion cannot be extinguished by conventional physical means, such as water or sand.

Only Origin Energy could counteract the annihilation of flames generated from Origin Energy.

At first glance, the flames didn't seem as powerful as Anse's shadow vortex. However, the advantage of this ability was that it lasted for an entire minute, allowing it to be used in conjunction with some of Allen's combat skills. For example, the Crescent Moon Slash combined with the ability to burn would exhibit a completely new power. As Allen's level increased, the burning time would increase accordingly.

Ability and engraving are closely related. Its sustainability corresponds to the spark and the engraving characteristics of a prairie fire.

Just like engraving, burning could also advance. Behind it, there were Burning Flame and Weaving Flame!
