Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 538: One Strike, One Kill

Ou Ban's sword danced faster and faster, and when he arrived, he could only see the fluctuations of light and shadows. His offensive was like a sea of rage. One wave after another came to an end, and he unleashed an endless wave of ferocious attacks on Daniel. At this time, Daniel displayed astonishing resilience. Under Ou Ban's attack, he was like a hard rock. No matter how the tide surged, he didn't move a single point.

Daniel was accumulating the power to retaliate, and Orban knew that. Unfortunately, there was still a gap between him and the viscount. Even though he had the advantage now, he was unable to take down Daniel for the time being. The spear and sword continued to collide, releasing a series of explosive sounds. The turf, fallen leaves, and stone fragments were all shattered by the impact of the collision of the two human origin energies.

As time passed, Ou Ban's attack gradually weakened. A berserk attack like his was the most unsustainable, consuming more Origin Energy than a defensive Daniel. Finally, the Origin Energy couldn't keep up with him in one attack, and the sword momentum froze. Daniel's eyes lit up. He had finally waited for an opportunity, so how could he let it go? The battle spear in his hand immediately pierced through Ou Ban's sword shadow. The tip of the spear lit up with lightning, and the spear's momentum was incomparably fierce like a lightning dragon going out to sea, pointing at Ou Ban's chest.

Ou Ban quickly retreated. His sword continued to slash out, connecting with Daniel's spear tip. Lightning and lightning exploded repeatedly before stopping Daniel's spear momentum. The Count's footsteps didn't stop, and he retreated a few meters before gasping for breath. At this time, the clothes inside his armor had already been soaked with sweat, and even the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly because he had exerted too much force.

Daniel said disdainfully, "Earl Oban, you have no intention of killing me even with this little ability. It seems that you won't be able to kill me today. You will have to give your life in vain in my hands."

"If you want to kill me, just try it." Orban put on a posture, but he was not moved by Daniel's hot mockery. He was rather magnanimous.

Daniel nodded and stopped talking nonsense. Even after his dramatic battle, there was not much Origin Energy left. He immediately circulated his remaining strength and poured Origin Energy into the battle spear according to a certain special law. The one-horned wolf behind the viscount howled towards the sky. The one-horned lightning on his forehead shone once again and turned into a ball of purple lightning that converged into a battle spear. The projection flashed twice before disappearing. Daniel didn't have the strength to maintain the projection of the ancestor in order to attack with all his might.

However, this way, his next attack would be earth-shattering. Oban didn't dare to underestimate him. He pointed at the giant sword behind him and the pressure of the sea descended on Daniel's surroundings. Daniel took a deep breath and felt suffocated in his chest. He snorted and slowly raised his spear. Every time the spear was raised, the lightning at the tip of the spear became denser, and the pressure on its body also became heavier. Daniel only felt that he was provoking the entire sea of rage with his own strength. The battle spear in his hand had already clicked under the wrestling of the two forces, and the metal of the spear body was even deformed.

Ou Ban bit his head and used all of his Origin Energy to suppress the sea of the Deep Sea Giant. This was equivalent to a silent contest with Daniel through the progenitor's ability.

"Break!" Daniel suddenly shouted loudly. His voice was like muffled thunder, and the falling leaves beneath his feet were immediately pushed open and shattered! The spear in Daniel's hand stabbed out heavily. The spear moved and began to spin, gradually forming a terrifying penetrating force. The invisible force field around him emitted thunderous muffled sounds, and with each sound, the pressure on Daniel's body lightened a little.

Ou Ban's expression changed drastically, sweating like rain. He could clearly feel that the invisible force field of the sea was being destroyed. Finally, Ou Ban's entire body trembled. The force field was finally broken by Daniel. The image of the deep sea giant behind him became blurry. It was as if Ou Ban's chest was heavily smashed by a sledgehammer. He spat out an arrow of blood with a single mouthful. Before he could erase the bloodstain, Daniel's thunderbolt had already rushed towards him.

The tip of the spear produced a strange strong suction force, giving Ou Ban a terrifying feeling of falling towards the tip of the spear. The count clenched his teeth and knew that this was a crucial moment. The origin power was able to counteract the suction force of the opponent's spear. The sword circled around his head, gathered enough strength, and slashed down heavily on Daniel's spear tip.

The thunderstorm in front of the spear exploded, and visible and invisible shockwaves scattered everywhere. Along with these ripples of impact, there were electric fires of varying thicknesses that swept towards the surroundings. These electric fires scraped across the ground, shattering tree trunks, causing waves of explosions around the two of them. The continuous explosion lasted for three to five seconds before the terrifying electric current stopped appearing.

Ou Ban's entire body was covered in green smoke as he retreated. The armor on his body was even more charred black. His carefully groomed beard became incomparably ridiculous, and even half of his hair was burnt off by lightning. Ou Ban's eyes and nose were bleeding, and his image was extremely miserable, but he was still able to save his life. It was also a thunderbolt, but fortunately, Daniel had used his remaining strength to activate this type of battle skill. If he used the power he had when he attacked Alan, Ou Ban would probably have been pierced through his chest by the Thunder Spear.

After taking a few steps back, Ou Ban barely stood still. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him. Daniel emerged from the smoke and kicked him in the stomach, knocking him to the ground. When Ou Ban was about to get up, his palm suddenly hurt. Raising his head, Daniel stepped on the back of his hand. The viscount raised his spear and smiled sinisterly, "Goodbye, Earl Oban. Don't worry, I will take over your territory and that beautiful sister for you."

With that, the spear was about to land.

At this moment, there seemed to be an explosion behind Daniel, but at this moment, the viscount felt a sense of danger in his heart. He suddenly twisted his body and saw a scarlet beam of light piercing through the thick smoke and pointing straight at his chest. Daniel's pupils narrowed, and the flow of time slowed down. He could even see the source of the beam of light. On the ground that was covered with falling light, Allen's face stretched out.

He had a strange firearm in his hand. It was this firearm that shot out this scarlet beam of light.

Daniel instantly thought of several ways to avoid it, but his body couldn't keep up with the speed of his consciousness. He used all of his strength and could only slightly lean sideways, but he was still hit by that beam of light, and his entire body flew backwards, falling more than ten meters away.

This change happened so quickly that Ou Ban didn't even react. One second ago, Daniel had already fallen to the ground. The viscount could barely get up, but red lines could be seen under his skin. The Origin Energy in his body was erupting in a boiling manner, and the flames of light lit up his blood vessels. Daniel only had time to glance at Alan. He was about to say something, but a red flame rushed out of his mouth.

His body flashed and his entire body exploded. The impact of the explosion pushed Ou Ban to the ground. A moment later, the count barely managed to get up. The woodland behind him was charred black, and there was still a circle of fallen leaves burning on the edge of the explosion. Two of the fir trees were blown off their waist, and the canopies and some branches were burning, making a light cracking sound.

As for Daniel, Ou Ban couldn't even find the fragment of his corpse, as if his entire body had been annihilated in an instant.

When he replayed what had just happened in his mind, Ou Ban almost doubted whether he had seen it wrongly. Then what kind of ability or battle skill would be needed to instantly blow up a viscount of strength to the point that not even scum was left?

"Count, how are you?" Alan's voice came from behind him. Ou Ban turned around and looked at him absentmindedly.

Alan's body was covered in mud and sand, and there were some fallen leaves on it. Only his eyes were still as bright as ever, and the rest of his body, including his striking silver hair, was now covered in dirt, as if he had just drilled out of the ground. Oban soon saw a pit in the distance. Looking at Alan again, he seemed to have really just drilled out of that place.

After distancing himself from Daniel, Allen found a suitable location nearby and dug a hole that would allow him to hide. He buried himself in the earth to conceal his aura. Originally, he planned to sneak attack Daniel from within, but he didn't expect that Ou Banxian would chase after him, creating a suitable opportunity for him to finally kill Daniel with the Destruction Sniper.

Now that Alan had removed the awakening stance of the Destruction Heavy Sniper, he was still holding onto the Heavy Saber Qianjun in his hand. Ou Ban sized him up and said, "How did you get rid of Daniel?"

"Sorry, that's a secret." Alan wasn't going to answer his question.

Ou Ban felt that the identity of the young man in front of him was becoming a mystery, but now was not the time to explore Allen's secrets. Ou Ban did not pursue further and nodded, "Go back. Now that Daniel is dead, the Unicorn Legion has no chance of winning …"

At the end of his sentence, Ou Ban saw Alan's strange expression. Then, he touched his waist, a dagger in his hand, and threw it at him. Ou Ban was so shocked that he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, but he still instinctively dodged to the side. Suddenly, the right side of his chest ached. At this moment, the dagger that Allen threw out just happened to brush past his ear. The next moment, Ou Ban heard a faint scream from behind him.

Only then did he know that Allen wasn't attacking him, but that he had discovered something behind him. Judging from the location of the wound, the other party had originally intended to hit him in the heart. In order to avoid Alan's dagger, he flashed to the left, causing the fatal blow to become a serious injury.

Ou Ban looked at his chest and fell to the ground. At this moment, Alan rushed over, picked up the devil's praise, and used it to pick up the Earl's armor, removing the armor from his chest. The hemp lining inside was already stained with blood. Alan used the dagger to lift his clothes. There was a thin wound on Ou Ban's chest that was as thin as a cicada's wing. The wound was as small as a strand of hair, but blood kept seeping out of it. And there were some dark threads around the wound. They spread out in a divergent manner around the wound. It didn't look like a good thing.

Alan immediately tore the count's clothes into strips and tied them tightly to his chest, "Hold on, count."

Ou Ban's face was pale and he nodded, "I can't die. Be careful. Someone is coming."

At this time, Lin Feng blew up in front of the two of them. A shadow suddenly grew thicker by a tree. A person walked out from behind the tree. "What a pity, that saber could have ended him. You meddled in other people's business, but you want to make him suffer more."

The man walked out of the shade of the tree. Under the strands of sunlight, his pale blue skin reminded Alan that he was not a human.

Alan took a deep breath and said, "Segris!"
