Edge of the Apocalypse

When he heard Lu Sen exclaim, Ansi Dang's expression changed. He threw down a fruit civet that he had just hit and was about to rush back to the campsite. Suddenly, he stopped abruptly and shook his body to the left like a willow in the wind. Immediately, a faint line of fire swept past, and a bullet hole appeared on the trunk of a tree in front of him! Ann immediately dodged behind a camphor tree and whispered, "Lucy?"

"Hi, Ans." Lucy's voice sounded a hundred paces away, along with the sound of gunfire.

Ans hid himself behind the tree. Several sparks splashed out from the ground beside the tree, causing several holes to appear on the ground. Ann smiled bitterly and said, "This is really beyond my expectations. You actually caught up."

"Indeed. Then, do you like this unexpected surprise?"

Lucy's voice had already moved from another direction, and the volume was slightly louder than before, which meant that she had already closed the distance between the two. An Si immediately made up his mind and rolled towards a bush in front of him on the left. His figure moved, and the edge of the tree that he was hiding in burst into flames! Anse got into the bush, kept walking, and flashed to another tree before saying, "This kind of pleasant surprise is fine. However, it's hard to say who it is. Haven't you ever thought that maybe Lusen and I were intentionally separated to lure you into taking action?"

As he spoke, Anse pulled down a revolver from behind his waist. It was the spoils of war he had taken from Wayne. At the same time, a bush fifty meters to the right behind him suddenly shook, as if Lucy's confidence had been shaken by him, and she could no longer maintain a high degree of concealment. Ans immediately fired two shots in that direction, the bullets causing the bushes to explode, but the scene that he had expected did not appear.

Ansli knew that it was going to be bad, so he immediately lowered his body and rolled. The two gunshots rang out almost at the same time, forming a continuous sonic boom. A bullet hole the size of a bowl appeared on the tree trunk that he was leaning against earlier. Ordinary bullets were unable to produce such an effect. Only two attacks with the same accuracy could cause such damage.

Spear skill. Two consecutive shots!

Cold sweat oozed out of Anse's forehead. If he had flashed slower just now, from the height of the bullet hole, he was afraid that there would have been a hole in his chest. At this moment, Lucy's voice sounded, "Alan is not as useless as you say. Watch, he will come after he kills Lucen."

After locating the voice, Anse suddenly rushed out and fired a revolver, "You should be worried about yourself, Miss Lucy!"

The flame tongue sprayed out from the muzzle of the gun, and the bullet discharged, rapidly spinning towards the shadows around the ancient trees. Fire suddenly burst out from the shadows, and Lucy's little face was faintly visible as the light flickered. Ding ding sounds echoed in the air as Lucy accurately intercepted Ann's bullets with her pistol! Finally, he raised his slender hand and spat out the flames at the muzzle of the gun in return for Anse's spear.

Ann suddenly twisted her waist and slid sideways, a flash of fire still brushing past his left cheek. Three meters away, a cluster of flowers exploded. An opening appeared on Anse's face at the same time. It was a wound that had been brushed by the bullet. He was rather helpless. Lucy was far better at shooting than he was. The jungle was very bad for him. After all, he wasn't good at shooting.

He continued to retreat until he hit the tree trunk and Ans stopped. He reached out and wiped his cheeks, frowning as he looked at the scattered red blood spots between his fingers. Suddenly, his heart jumped without warning. It was an extremely dangerous feeling. An Si's heart skipped a beat as he stepped on the ground and turned away like a top. With a "chi" sound from behind him, a dark red energy saber light suddenly burst out from the tree trunk. Anse hurriedly pulled back and slid back a few meters before stopping.

Behind the tree, Alan walked out with Kuang Tu in his hand. Thousands of silver spots fell through the leaves, illuminating Allen's body as if they were sprinkling silver light on the ground. At this moment, Allen emitted a cold aura. His bright red pupils were still burning like flames under extreme ice.

"Alan."

"Ans."

The two of them greeted each other by calling each other by their names. Alan stared at Anse. As long as the other party moved, it would attract his attack. Lucy also emerged from the shadows, holding her pistol close to Allen, but moving in a ready-to-fire posture. Anse didn't dare to act rashly against the two great enemies. He smiled helplessly, "So, you've already killed that fat pig of Lucen's?"

Kuang Tu shook slightly, and under the pitch-black blade, there was a trace of dark red blood. Alan answered, but Ann understood.

"I have a suggestion for us to leave here peacefully. What do you two think?" Ans smiled as if he had a plan.

Alan looked at him and said, "I don't hate you, but you know the rules of the death arena. So, I'm sorry, I don't want to miss this opportunity."

"I guess so. So, you two decided to go all out?" An Si suddenly threw away his revolver, which made Allen and the other two a little puzzled.

Immediately after, Alan suddenly saw the origin energy fluorescence on Anse's body shining and flowing according to certain rules. The dangerous aura on this tall and thin youth in front of him became even more intense. Alan could not understand why this was happening. No matter what, Ans should be at a disadvantage now.

Inspiration flashed through Allen's head like lightning. He tried his best to capture it and finally thought of something. He couldn't help but say, "Seal? Gene circuit? Could it be that you have …"

'"That's right, not the first place is definitely talented. Alan, to be honest, I don't want to show it at this time. Unfortunately, that pig Lusen is too useless. Otherwise, it will give you a big surprise …" Ans raised his right hand and saw a few black-purple fluorescent lights on the back of his hand. The trajectory of the light formed a pattern on the back of his hand that looked like an electronic circuit. Finally, it formed a black-purple, vortex-like imprint on the back of his hand!

An Si grasped the void, and a dense dark purple aura of light rose up around Allen and the others. Light gathered at the center like mist, forming a pitch black core. The core possessed great gravity, pulling Alan and Lucy towards it. Alan's expression changed and he shouted, "Get out of here!"

The two of them desperately tried to escape from the radius of light energy, but it was as if they were in an undercurrent at the bottom of the sea. A burst of darkness pushed them towards the pitch black core. Alan shouted, and Berserk's energy edge was activated, ejecting a dark red energy blade. The Origin Energy vortex collided violently, and seven vortexes collided with each other. The huge impact caused Allen's skin to glow with an unnatural red light, followed by a faint blood mist!

Kuang Tu buzzed and instantly bounced up, pulling out a dark red moonlight. The moonlight collided with the purple and black aura, canceling out the two and annihilating them. Alan cut a crack in this ball of light!

"Let's go!" Alan shouted, pulling Lucy hard into the crack, and finally escaping before the phosgene was fully absorbed into the core.

After all of the phosgene was gathered into the core, a few purple lines lit up at the core. Then, it exploded, forming a ball of dark purple fireball. The shockwave knocked the two of them to the ground. The vegetation in the explosion area turned into ashes, and the ground was even dyed with a strange dark purple color, emitting a rotten smell of soil. Alan's expression changed. An Si had actually constructed a circuit to activate his own inscription.

Judging from the abilities displayed by this engraving, after advancing to the level of an engraving master, there was indeed a great difference between them and their Origin Energy practitioners. Alan pulled Lucy up and quickly left, disappearing into the depths of the forest after a moment.

Ann didn't chase after him. He held the tree trunk and panted. He smiled bitterly, "You managed to escape the shadow vortex. Ellen, you're really a dangerous guy."

The inscription he activated was called "Shadow Monarch," and it could utilize the power of spatial shadows. At night or in darkness, the ability to engrave will be increased to a certain extent. "Shadow Vortex" was the first ability of this engraving. It could distort the shadow of space, causing it to form an undercurrent of energy that moved toward the center and eventually triggered an explosion.

This ability was a combination of control and attack. It could be said to be a very outstanding ability, but it still opened a crack for Alan and managed to escape by luck. However, in order to use this ability, the Origin Energy in An Si's body was almost completely sucked clean. Now, his entire body was weak. If not for Ellen's fear of his imprint, he might be the one to be unlucky now.

Ans stood there for fifteen minutes before finally recovering some of his Origin Energy. He picked up the revolver again and left.

After they both left, a metal ball swept across the forest where the two sides were fighting. At the same time, in the command hall of the death arena, a screen was replaying the battle between Alan and Anse. Alstair held onto the railing of the bridge and narrowed his eyes. "Surprisingly, I didn't expect that this dark horse, Anse, had secretly advanced and constructed a genetic circuit. However, Alan's ability to break through Anse by relying solely on the strength of a rank eight Origin Energy Cultivator was also unusual."

"My lord, according to your opinion, what's the odds of Ans winning next?" The assistant asked cautiously. After all, he was also someone who had placed a bet on Ans. Naturally, he hoped that Ans, the black horse, would win successfully.

Alstair chuckled and said, "The chances of winning are great. After all, the sealer and the Origin Energy practitioner are not on the same level. Alan managed to escape by luck this time, but what about next time? Perhaps he won't be so lucky."

The assistant heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. After all, there were still two people on Allen's side, and Anse was a lone wolf. Judging from the numbers, Ans was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

"But" Alstair suddenly threw out a word that accelerated the assistant's heartbeat. "Allen's talent is not bad either. Who knows if he will successfully construct a circuit and activate an interesting engraving at a critical moment. In this way, the outcome will be hard to say," said the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

The assistant's face couldn't help but turn ugly. Alstair didn't seem to see his bitter face. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "But isn't that what's interesting about the death arena? No one knows which one is the winner until the last moment. There are still a few days left on the arena. Let's watch carefully."
