Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 965: Newly Emerged Lofty and Glorious

It was late at night.

On Silver Blade Street, less than a hundred meters away from the Iron Horse Hotel, two drunken men hooked their shoulders and staggered along with a stench of alcohol. From time to time, the two of them let out bursts of laughter, which seemed ear-piercing in the silent streets. When they passed by a house, the window on the second floor opened and a fat woman poured cold water on them, almost drenching the two drunkards. The drunkard pointed upstairs and cursed loudly until a man pulled his woman away from the window. This small disturbance finally calmed down.

The drunkard turned around and was about to leave when he was knocked down by someone. He raised his head. In front of him was a tall man with broad shoulders. Although he was covered in a black cloak, his entire body was filled with killing intent. There was only a bearded chin in the cloak, and his thin lips were wide open, revealing a mouthful of dense white teeth as he smiled maliciously at the drunkard. The drunkards immediately lost all intent to drink. The two of them turned around and ran away. They turned into a small alley not far away and disappeared without a trace.

Number One lifted his cloak hat and looked at the Iron Horse Hotel a hundred meters away. Then, he took out a piccolo from the cloak and blew it gently in his mouth, but there was no sound. It was a special item used by the Black Wolf Army to transmit information. Only those soldiers in the Black Wolf Army who had received strict training could hear the silent howl of this item and read the information at regular intervals.

After playing the piccolo, the man clenched his fingers. When he opened it again, the flute had already turned into a handful of fine sand that was blown away by the night wind.

The man's figure flashed in the street and disappeared.

At the same time, across the street from the Iron Horse Hotel, more than a dozen silhouettes quietly appeared on a spire bell tower. The night wind suddenly rose and Number One fell silently on the roof. The tall man made a hand gesture, and the dead men on the rooftop immediately swept across the street and landed on the tall iron horse statue in the front yard of the hotel. Then, they dodged like ghosts, landed on the corridor or roof of the hotel, and quickly dived towards Allen's residence.

Number One followed suit and sneaked into the hotel. He chose a commanding height and landed on the balcony where Allen lived. He could clearly see the location of the target.

At this moment, floating clouds in the sky blocked the moonlight, causing the earth to instantly sink into darkness. In the darkness, Number One raised his hand and waved it down forcefully. Immediately, two dead men rushed into the living room from the balcony. Unexpectedly, as soon as they stabilized their bodies, they saw a green tide light suddenly shining in the dim living room, outlining two figures that were practically no different from each other.

Milumila's twin sisters sent Canghai Bipo at the same time. The water vapor in the living room suddenly rose, and the two of them circulated with green light. It was also water vapor, but it formed a pair of swords in Mira's hand and condensed into a spear in Mira's hand. With one spear and two swords, he immediately attacked the two dead men.

Suddenly, he didn't expect that his secret infiltration would be broken in the first place. However, there wasn't much emotion in the eyes of the two corpses. According to their original plan, it didn't matter whether they were discovered or not.

Both of their bodies lit up at the same time, and they grew brighter and brighter, just like two human-shaped light bulbs.

Milu attacked halfway and cried out, "Origin Energy self-destruct? Mila, retreat!"

She reached out to grab her sister, but Mira and she were suddenly grabbed by her shoulders and thrown back by a strong force. The scenery retreated, and Milu saw Alan and the flames of Origin Energy!

Number One narrowed his eyes and saw a flash of fire in the target's living room, followed by a large ball of flames spraying out from all directions, shattering the tranquil night. According to the plan, the two dead men who had sneaked into the living room immediately self-detonated in order to inflict a wave of damage as soon as possible. After all, the target they wanted to assassinate was an expert who had passed the test of Hoey's spear. Normal assassination methods were simply ineffective. Number One didn't expect this wave of Origin Energy to self-destruct to kill that expert. As long as it could kill the guards beside him, it would be a pleasant surprise if it could injure the target.

However, the flames in the dwelling suddenly disappeared. Number One's pupils slightly dilated, and his line of sight instantly narrowed, allowing him to see everything in the target location in a clear and dreamy manner. Through the balcony that was blown away by the railing, one could see a wretched living room inside. The living room was already dark in color, and the ceiling and ground were burning with flames. Right there, Number One saw the target of the assassination attempt.

The viscount named Allen stood with his saber hanging down. The surrounding flames seemed to be pulled by an invisible force field. They gathered into a stream of fire that circled around him and continuously sucked into the scarlet blade in his hand.

The two Death Warriors didn't hesitate to self-destruct in exchange for Origin Energy flames, but they actually sucked them clean?

Alan's mouth curled into a mocking smile. The other party's self-detonation of Origin Energy was beyond his expectations. Unfortunately, the self-detonation of Origin Energy flames could have been fatal if it had been replaced by another person. However, under the suppression of his Fire Monarch, it was just a joke. Number One saw Alan, so how could Alan miss him? Alan raised his head and hooked his finger towards Number One.

Number One's face was as heavy as water. Without his orders, the remaining corpses had already pounced towards Alan.

A figure also flashed out of Allen's room. One of the wild women with a large sword and the other with a sword made Number One's eyelids twitch. Naturally, he could tell that both of them were experts, and the other guards weren't weak either. These people had weapons in their hands, so they were clearly prepared for their assassination tonight.

Could it be that there was a leak? Thinking about it, Number One saw a dead man on his left hand about to crash into the balcony. Suddenly, his head exploded into a bloody mist in mid-air, followed by the rough sound of a gun. Number One's expression was gloomy. Not only was his opponent an expert like a cloud, even his equipment was much better than theirs. At the very least, Number One didn't know what kind of firearm could explode his Level 17 subordinate's head in one blow.

He silently recited a person's name in his heart, then stretched out his hand from the cloak, and a dark red crystal stone appeared in his hand. Number One crushed the jingshi and sucked in the blood-colored mist from the jingshi. His eyes immediately turned red, his muscles wriggling, and his aura soared into the sky.

Ellen frowned. "Blood Boiling Demon Crystal? No, Blood Boiling Demon Crystal only works on people below Level 20. The person opposite him clearly has more than that amount of strength. In other words, is it the Angry Blood Demon Crystal?"

Above the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal, there were two types of Demon Crystals: Rage Blood and Burning Blood. The Angry Blood Demon Crystal could affect experts below Level 30, and its side effects were even more severe than boiling blood. Back then, Hagrid had used the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal to increase his combat strength for a short period of time. Afterwards, he had also relied on his strength close to Level 20 to suppress the side effects brought about by the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal. If it was angry blood, then Haggers would be destroyed after the battle.

Now that Number One had used the Angry Blood Demon Crystal, it was clear that he had no intention of returning. Just like he said, a dead man deserves to die. Since he wasn't even afraid of death, what else was there to fear? Number One's aura was unprecedentedly strong, and his Origin Energy had even surged to Level 25. His combat strength had jumped two levels in a row under the effect of the magic crystals, but Number One's skin was also showing an unnatural scarlet red color, as if he would explode in the next moment.

A burst of wolf howls suddenly resounded.

Blood energy surged from the man's back, condensing into the image of a giant wolf. The projection of the Blood Wolf he released was not only a long horn in front of his forehead, but also a row of bone spikes on his back. Number One was short and was about to pounce, but the Blood Wolf projection had already pounced towards Alan. Still in midair, the wolf's kiss was wide open, and the blood light within was spinning like a tide, clearly attacking at the same time.

Alan's eyes turned cold, and Red King drew a half-moon arc from bottom to top. As a result, Number One saw an orange light flash past the Blood Wolf's projection. Then, the projection split into two, and the Blood Wolf's figure flickered and was about to dissipate. Under the influence of the Angry Blood Demon Crystal, only a few rational corpses were still shocked. At this moment, intense pain struck him. He saw his left arm fly out, but it was lightly brushed by the light that cut through the Blood Wolf.

The light went far behind him, tilting upwards and disappearing into the night sky. Then, starting from the Iron Horse Hotel, to a bell tower a thousand meters away, buildings or trees in a straight line between the two places exploded into dust.

Red King lowered his head and a flush flashed across the blade. Ellen narrowed his eyes and used the Monarch of Fire to suppress him. He also extracted a portion of the broken city slashed by Origin Energy's flames and didn't cut down the man. However, borrowing the Origin Energy flames instead of the Void Heavenly Flames, it was reasonable that the power of the flames had been reduced by more than half. The man with a broken arm roared and pounced into the air. Alan did not underestimate his opponent. Flame patterns lit up all over his body, and sparks immediately fell from the surrounding space.

Sparks suddenly exploded, and Alan's figure had already disappeared.

When he appeared again, he stepped on it head-on and covered his face.

Number One reached out to block.

Alan stepped firmly on the ground and landed Number One on the ground. The man fell weightlessly and crashed into the ground, creating a crater. He spat out a small mouthful of mud from his mouth, shook his head and supported himself on the ground with one hand, then climbed up again. At this moment, he had a splitting headache, and his line of sight was covered with a layer of blood. His image was blurry. No.1 barely managed to see his target descend into the sky. Driven by the remaining rationality, he raised his foot and charged towards Allen.

Alan's eyes lit up as if he had made some sort of decision. The Red King in his hand trembled slightly, and the blade shone with a red light. The surrounding space had already been dyed red in an instant. Suddenly, a large ball of black and red flames exploded from the edge of the blade. This explosive flame sprayed onto the ground, and the ground melted silently. When the flame tongue rolled back, a circle of flame appeared on the ground. Within the flame was a black charred ground that had already been crystallized.

Number One pounced.

Red King swept across, and the explosive flames sprayed out from the blade turned into a black and red cloud of fire that swept across the tall man's body.

The man's eyes were wide open. His hand had already been raised high, but he was powerless to wave it down. The part of his body that had been swept past by the fire clouds turned into nothingness in the heat of the fire clouds of nearly 4,000 degrees Celsius. With a flash of the fire cloud, the black-red explosive flames were quickly withdrawn by Red King and disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye. The entire Red King was glowing with red light, and wisps of green smoke rose from the blade.

This was the first time since the advent of Red King that he had revealed his fangs to the world!
