Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1269: Just A Single Saber

Pickup's expression was very ugly. He was not tall, nor was his armor tailored to suit him. Coupled with his current ugly expression, if it weren't for the aura that his body naturally emitted, it would have been very difficult to connect him to an expert. At this moment, he looked more like a businessman whose business had failed. His face was full of sorrow, wrinkles twisted on his face, almost inseparable from each other.

The whole of Bai Xicheng had been served. As the lord of a city, how could the pickup truck let go of it? He didn't know how to explain it to Luci. Of course, the prerequisite was that he could survive. Otherwise, if he died today, it wouldn't matter if he didn't explain it.

Alan looked at him with his knife in his arms and said, "I thought you wouldn't come out."

"As the lord of a city, the city is alive, and the city is dead. I still have this bit of awareness." Pickup took a deep breath and stared at Ellen, not daring to let him off easily. "If I'm not mistaken, are you the Dark King?"

Alan nodded.

"Lord Alan is indeed powerful. He destroyed Lord Luci's Bai Xicheng with a single slash. Doesn't Lord Luci think it's too much? This is an open declaration of war against Lord Luci!" The pickup truck's voice became harsher and harsher. It was difficult for him to dare to shout in front of a super expert like Allen. If it was Green Light Town's iron hand that day, he would have surrendered long ago if he wanted to see Allen's true strength.

"Declare war? If I remember correctly, you killed my subordinates first. According to the rules, the White Devil declared war first. I just agreed."

Pickup choked on the words. After all, this was the truth. Moreover, if Alan didn't let go of this, he wouldn't be able to drag Bone King Zha Suo and the other big shots into the water. After all, according to the rules of the Great Wasteland, the White Demon side was the first to provoke him. Alan would not interfere in the battle, nor could any other person interfere.

Pickup rolled his eyes and wanted to say something else. All of a sudden, Allen's aura was so strong that he was speechless. Alan looked at him coldly and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Right now you have two choices. One is to serve me, just like Trisley over there. The other is for me to send your corpse to the Fallen Hall. For your loyalty, I think Luci will bury you."

"So, tell me, which one do you plan to choose?"

"I don't want to choose any of them," said Pickup, feeling a little relieved.

"That's even worse. Looks like you've chosen a path that can't be worse." Alan shook his head. "I don't understand why Luci is worth your life."

"It's not what you think. Indeed, you are terrifying, but I think Lord Luci is even more terrifying, so I just don't think highly of you." The pickup truck was honest and spat out all of its thoughts.

Alan shrugged helplessly and suddenly shouted in the direction of the city, "Get lost if you don't want to die. I'll give you three minutes."

He looked at the pickup truck and said, "Are you okay with that?"

"Not at all. Thank you." Pickup sneered, "But don't you think it's hypocritical, my lord? If you want to let go of the people in the city, why didn't you say it before the war?"

'"Do you think it's useful for me to shout instead of cutting into the city first?" Ellen said indifferently.

The pickup truck was speechless again. Thinking about it, if Allen did not display that terrifying strength, he would probably only treat it as a joke to the people in the city. Now was another matter. Residents were constantly fleeing from White Tin City. They crawled far away and saw Alan and the pickup truck's formation. Everyone knew that the next battle was going to be a shocking one. When experts clashed, they might not even know that they were dead if they rashly got involved in the battlefield.

Three minutes later, the man was almost gone, and the pickup truck exhaled, "Looks like we can start."

"You seem to have a lot of confidence in yourself?" Alan held the hilt of the saber in his hand and made a gesture that he could draw at any time.

Pickup shook his head. "No, actually I know that this battle is going to end. But I think I can weaken you a little for Lord Luci. That's enough."

After he finished speaking, a grey Origin Energy flame sprayed out from Pickup's body. The Origin Energy radiance condensed behind him into a giant beast that danced with its teeth and claws. Pickup's Qi continued to rise, and it seemed that it intended to use all of its strength to fight in one breath. There was no probing, only full force!

Alan looked at him indifferently and said, "You're mistaken. In fact, you can't hurt me at all."

The Heavenly Calamity Circuit lit up in his body. The five nodes on Alan's body lit up, and his aura immediately became boundless. It was like an ancient beast waking up from its slumber, carrying the scent of countless years that had passed. Alan pointed at the pickup truck, and a purple light talisman immediately appeared beneath Lord Bai Xicheng's feet. None of the symbols were recognized by the pickup trucks, but from the light talismans, the pickup trucks could smell danger.

He jumped up fiercely.

When he rose, he saw that there were so many light talismans on the snowy plains. They were densely packed over the entire land, and even the damaged buildings in White Tin City were covered with light talismans.

Then, all of the light symbols floated up, and circles rose into the sky, forming a purple pillar of light.

The pickup truck was inside the pillar of light. Just as he was about to charge out of the pillar of light, countless light talismans had already been gathered and imprinted on his body. Every time the brand was branded with a light talisman, the aura of the pickup truck would drop by a point. After his entire body was covered in light talismans, he was shocked that his Origin Energy had fallen crazily. In the blink of an eye, he had already broken through the Level 30 barrier and finally stopped at the level of Level 29. However, the pickup truck's face was as pale as dirt.

Without even a Level 30 Origin Energy, how could he deal with a super expert like Allen? No wonder he said just now that he didn't have the chance to hurt him in the slightest.

"What kind of ability is this?" Exclaimed the pickup truck.

Alan appeared in front of him in a daze. Red King's saber hilt smashed into the City Lord's chest, pushing the pickup truck into the city. He flew out like a cannonball, creating a shocking howl in the air before disappearing behind the city wall. Moments later, the few buildings that had only one section left fell to the ground and collapsed with a thunderous rumble.

Alan leaned forward and disappeared. When he appeared again, he had already arrived beside the pickup truck. Just as the pickup truck was pushing away a few boulders, it felt its chest burn. He lowered his head and looked. A blade wrapped in gray-white flames stabbed into his body at some unknown time. Then, a shocking heat came from his body. In an instant, the pickup truck felt as if its body had been hollowed out, becoming incomparably empty. He raised his head with difficulty, but Allen's figure became increasingly blurry in his eyes.

When his consciousness was about to disappear, he heard Allen say, "It's called Judgment Day. Unfortunately, you can't tell Luci about this move …"

Alan said and looked down. The pickup truck stopped breathing, and then blazing white flames sprayed out of his eyes and mouth. After the secret flames in the void burned all of his internal organs, they burned his corpse, leaving not a single cell left. Alan retrieved Red King and patted his head, "Damn it, I forgot to leave Mitinus with the corpse of an expert …"

When she saw Alan walk out of the city gate, Trisley could hardly believe her eyes. She rubbed her eyes with all her might, and then with a flash, she left a hundred meters away. After a few flashes, she came to Ellen like a gust of wind and asked, "Master, did you kill the pickup truck?"

"Yes." Alan nodded.

'"So fast?" Trisley screamed. "Even though the pickup truck isn't as powerful as Aziz, this guy isn't simple either. You, you, you, how many times did you do that?"

Ellen stretched out a finger and waved it in front of her. "It's a big fuss. I've already pulled his Origin Energy to level 29. If I can't kill him in one slash, then what should I do to deal with the White Devil? But you guys can make the battle look bigger and let Luci underestimate me. Then you can save some effort."

Tracy nodded and asked, "You actually hid something like this. Oh my God, I've never heard of any ability that could lower the opponent's Origin Energy level. Then wouldn't you be able to pull the Sovereign to the same level as yourself?"

"What a beautiful thought." Ellen shook his head and said, "This move is useless against Autarchs. If it was so convenient, I would have gone to Demoic Ring City long ago. Why would I stay in such a place?"

Tracy thought for a moment and pestered him, "What about Azes?"

"It's useful, but the effect won't be too obvious. At most, it will reduce the Origin Energy by one or two levels."

"But that's also an advantage. Why didn't you use it back then?"

Alan laughed, "Because it was my first battle in the Great Wasteland. In the true sense of the word, I want to show my might."

He waved to the soldiers in the distance, then brought Tracy back to Bai Xicheng and crossed the fallen city gate. Alan said, "Alright, now we can take over Bai Xicheng."

Tracy looked at the city that had flattened Alan and couldn't help but laugh, "I think it would take a lot of effort to rebuild it."

Alan also smiled awkwardly. Indeed, Bai Xicheng was like a ruin now, as if receiving it or not was meaningless. But no matter what, Luci's territory was in his pocket. As for the city, as long as it was rebuilt, the two green glazed crystals and the iron ore veins were still there, there was no need to be afraid that the city would not thrive again. In the great wilderness, as long as there were experts and resources, there would be everything!

Outside the city, among the trembling crowd looking at Bai Xicheng, a soldier quietly sent a message to the Fallen Hall. Apart from the text, the message also carried a picture of Bai Xicheng. Two hours later, Luci, who was in the Fallen Hall, received the message. As he looked at the shorter city in the hologram, Luci let out a "chuckle".

His personal guard captain Cardin also looked at Luci with a gloomy expression. Suddenly, Luci shouted. He stomped on the holographic display and shouted, "Bastard! Madman! You've just eaten the territory of the Blood Eye and you can't wait to attack me. You're not afraid of being burned to death!"
