Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 972: Accident

The crowd surrounding the tall woman was obviously led by a middle-aged man. This person was as strong as a bear, especially his arms, which were much thicker than ordinary people. He couldn't see a single weapon on his body, but the knuckles of his hands were rough. He was obviously an expert who used his fists and feet as weapons. He chuckled coldly, "How would Lord Hoey know about this matter if I left you behind? We, Zhuying, are indeed disdainful of doing such a thing as robbing and killing our employer. But who told you to be single and have a huge fortune? I'm afraid I'll regret it if I meet a fat and bloody sheep like you that doesn't die in the future."

Beside the middle-aged man was a short and skinny man with a head full of weeds like a tuft of yellow hair, pouches of green eyes, and a big red nose. The man licked his lips and said, "Besides, you're still so hot. Look at that leg. I've never seen a woman as long as her. Boss Sindh, remember to give her a taste after you take her down."

Hearing this, Alan already understood a rough idea. He secretly shook his head. He had already warned this woman in the small building of the Frozen Moon Mercenary Company not to throw money at her. This time, it was probably this woman who went to find the job Zhuying entrusted to her, but the result was that Zhuying's mercenaries discovered that she was carrying a huge sum of money, causing these people to have evil intentions. Originally, he was used as a bodyguard, but instead, he robbed and killed his employer.

The tall woman over there looked at the vulgar man with contempt and said, "Just you? Kneel down and lick my shoes. I'm afraid my feet will get dirty!"

The humiliated man squinted his eyes and shouted, "Bitch, you're so poisonous when you die. Wait, I'll do it until you die!" Then, with a kick of his legs, he pounced towards the woman.

The middle-aged man who looked like the leader did not make a move. Instead, he quietly retreated a little with the others. Seeing this, Alan knew that the short man would probably not be welcomed in the shadow chase. The woman they regarded as a fat sheep was still able to kill one of their mercenaries under such circumstances, so she probably had some tricks. At this time, it was naturally easier for everyone to work together and complement each other's strengths than to fight one-on-one.

The rest of the Shadow Chasing Mercenaries retreated. Apart from hating the short man, they probably wanted to use the short man to test the woman's background and consume her Origin Energy. Thinking deeper, if he wanted to borrow that woman to get rid of this companion, then everyone would naturally be able to share more of the spoils.

People's hearts were ancient, and the evil path of the world was always dangerous.

The arrogant woman did not panic when she saw the short and skinny man pouncing over. He took a dazzling step and floated backwards, moving without a trace of pyrotechnic Qi and moving ethereally. It would be very difficult to predict her landing with just her movements. Allen's gaze was so sharp that he couldn't see through the woman's next landing point. It could be seen that this kind of footwork was not ordinary. If it wasn't for the fact that she was a master teacher, then it would be a secret family legacy. Judging from the fact that that woman was able to give Hoey the qualifications to be an honored guest, she probably wasn't an ordinary person. However, it was reasonable for her to have such a skill.

Allen asked himself. If he were to face such a footwork, he could only use the saber technique to seal off the opponent's space for advancement and retreat. If he wanted to keep up with his opponent's movements, he would instead become passive. Unfortunately, the short and skinny man didn't have such eyesight. He was dazzled by the other party's series of moving afterimages. When he regained his senses, the short silver gun in his hand had already been raised and was facing his face!

The man screamed and raised his hand to block his face, another extremely clumsy gesture. Not only did Alan shake his head while looking at the tree crown, even the shadow chasing mercenaries sneered. One must know that a musket has very limited destructive power. True experts rarely used these weapons. Even if they wore them, they would often use them as decorations or auxiliary attacks. The woman fired a spear and a whip, and it was clear that the real killer was on that whip.

The gunpowder and firearms of this planet are not the magic energy guns of the Federation. What's the use of them when experts compete? Of course, that short and skinny man could only be called an underdog.

Sure enough, when he raised his hand to block the other party's muzzle, the woman did not shoot. The long whip in his other hand suddenly rolled away like a spirit snake, tightening the man's left leg. The tall woman waved her arm and pulled the whip back. A wave rose from the whip and lifted the man into the air. The woman raised her right hand and spat out a flaming tongue, spraying hot steel sand onto the man's body. Even though it was not fatal, it still left him covered in blood and in a sorry state.

The whip swept again and threw the man out. The woman put away her gun and whipped her right hand. With a flick of the whip, the body of the whip suddenly twisted into a line and then suddenly popped out. A red silhouette appeared in the air. Qi surged everywhere, instantly piercing into the man who was still in midair, and then he spat it out like a poisonous snake spitting out a message. When the man landed, there was a thumb-sized hole in his chest. Blood continuously flowed to the ground and seeped into the leaves and soil.

Such a change caused the leader to be stunned. He didn't expect his annoying companion to die so quickly. He couldn't help but spit out two words from his mouth: "Trash!"

Alan looked at the long whip in the woman's hand with interest. Just now, he clearly saw a few tiny red snake-like blood lines poking out from the whip. Just now, when the long whip in the woman's hand was twisted and stabbed, the blood veins also made a similar movement of closing and relaxing. It was simply like an extension of an arm. Needless to say, it was definitely a method of controlling the long whip that allowed an iron whip to move so quickly and explosively.

His interest in the woman grew stronger and stronger.

The opponent's Origin Energy was only around Level 17 or 18, so it couldn't be said to be very powerful. However, that agile footwork and this whip technique were definitely not ordinary goods. A woman with ordinary Origin Energy possessed a brilliant battle technique. If there wasn't a powerful teacher or family behind her, Alan wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

Within the Shadow Chasing Mercenary, the leader's man seemed to have seen through this as well, and his expression became heavy. But now, he was already in a difficult situation. Whether this woman had a powerful teacher or family behind her, or if news leaked out today, then Zhuying would call for a nest tomorrow. Even though he had already made a decision, he would leave after killing this beautiful fat sheep and never return to Spear City. But if he provoked a powerful expert or clan, no matter where he ran, he would not be able to live peacefully.

Right now, he was regretting that he shouldn't have attacked so quickly. Perhaps it wasn't too late to set up a woman's background before deciding to attack. However, it was useless to say this now. All he could do now was to kill people and silence them. Fortunately, this woman was a little prickly, but she wasn't so powerful that it made people despair. Moreover, just like what the dead short man said, the other party had a pair of long legs that made the man go crazy. Looking at the woman who was obviously from the north, the man's throat let out a strange sound. He swallowed his saliva and made a gesture to put away the net.

Alan secretly estimated that this woman would probably be able to kill three or four mercenaries, but in the end, she wouldn't be able to escape death. No matter how brilliant a battle skill was, it would be in vain without the support of powerful Origin Energy. It was like a child carrying a magical energy spear. Without Origin Energy to activate the magic energy spear, no matter how powerful the spear was, what was the use of it? However, it was obvious that the shadow-chasing unrighteousness was the first to encounter such a thing, and it was impossible for Alan to stand by and watch. Therefore, he had to make a move. Alan was considering when to make a move and whether to meet a woman after making a move.

Seeing that woman's arrogant expression, dealing with such a person was really boring. Alan thought about secretly helping her, but at this moment, the tree branch beneath his feet seemed to be unable to withstand the sudden collapse of his weight. This change was completely unexpected to him. Before he could react, he had already fallen. Instantly, the sound of a branch shattering could be heard as long as it wasn't deaf.

Of course, the Shadow Pursuing Mercenary was not deaf. The man in the lead immediately turned around and saw Alan stand up angrily. The faces of the men and the other mercenaries all changed, and killing the employer was a shameful thing to do. Today, it was fine to kill a woman and silence her. Now that an outsider had appeared, the situation was even more complicated. The man also made up his mind and immediately winked at the two mercenaries.

The two of them immediately understood what was going on. They drew out two blades and one axe and pounced towards Alan with killing intent.

Ellen first looked up at the broken branch. He was a little confused as to whether it was a plot, or if it was just an accident. If the former was still able to break the tree branch beneath his feet without him noticing it, then the opponent would probably have to be a super expert at Russen's level to do so. After taking a look, he looked ahead and saw that the two mercenaries had already pounced on him.

The two men smiled sinisterly as the man on the left attacked his chest. The big man on the right slashed his axe towards his head. The sound of knives and axes piercing through the air was extremely ear-piercing, but the two of them weren't useless either. When the middle-aged man saw his two companions attack, he was slightly relieved. He turned his head to look at the woman and just as he was about to go all out to kill the fat sheep and then turn around to deal with the outsider, a miserable scream echoed from behind him.

The middle-aged man turned around in shock and saw the young man holding onto the hilt of the saber as he strode towards Yi Fang. The two men who had attacked him earlier were lying on the ground. Both of their sabers and axes had cracks on them. Their postures were even more distorted. It seemed that they had been smashed to pieces by a huge force, and they could no longer die. The middle-aged man was instantly shocked. The silver-haired man easily killed Yi Fang and Yi Fang before he could use his long saber. How abnormal was this battle power?

Wait!

The middle-aged man's gaze suddenly fell on the silver hair of the other party. He suddenly remembered that not long ago in Spear City, there was a rumor that Marquis Hoey had fought with a young man. The two of them were of no distinction. The most impressive thing about that young man was his silver hair!

Could it be this one in front of him?

The middle-aged man instantly had a feeling that the world was spinning. How could they provoke an expert who could fight Hoey to a draw?

Unfortunately, even if he wanted to go back on his word, it was already too late, and Alan was even more unprepared to let them go. Inch by inch, the flame marks on his body lit up, and the surrounding space gradually became red. When sparks fell from the forest, Red King was unsheathed.

Miserable screams echoed through the air!
