Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 981: New World

Dozens of werewolf bandits on the gray hills, including Gurus, who was struggling to raise his head, were stunned as they watched the thick Vermillion Blaze Lightning collide with Joey. The ground lit up and a dense cluster of vermilion-colored fire clouds sprayed out. Countless hard stones exploded from the place where the clouds of fire sprayed, shattering into countless tiny particles that burst into flames in mid-air. As a result, with the eruption point of the fire cloud as the center of the circle, a dense circle of sparks was set off and quickly burned to ashes. As soon as he was blown by the wind, a circle of grey smoke spread out in all directions.

Smoke rose from the ground, and the expansion of the heat distorted the scenery.

The wolves and bandits were dumbfounded as they looked at the terrifying fire cloud that covered nearly a hundred square meters. Now, the fire cloud was beginning to extinguish, revealing the charred ground silently telling the pack of bandits how powerful the explosion was!

"Where's Joey?" Someone shouted.

The werewolf bandits looked nervously through the hot smoke and flames. Then, they saw a black shadow retreating and pouncing on Joey's chariot. A steel war chariot pulled by four warhorses and carved with the demon's head on both sides of its body. The shadow was Joey. His hair was almost burnt out, and his fur coat was torn open. Blood was flowing from his right shoulder. Joey turned around and glanced at him, his eyes filled with anger and fear. He then waved his horse's whip and urged the warhorse to pull the carriage and gallop towards the Evil Tooth Barrier.

Howling sounds could be heard everywhere. When the wolves and bandits saw this, who would dare to stay? They rode their horses after Joey's war chariot. Joey was driving the chariot when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and saw that the clamor behind him had dissipated. The young man stood on the spot with his saber in hand. He stretched out a finger towards him, then retracted it and wiped it on his neck. The meaning was obvious. It was to tell Joey that the next time they met, he would die!

Arrogant!

Joey was so angry that his entire body trembled, but he didn't have the courage to turn back and fight the young expert again. The opponent was below him, but Joey's instinct told him that if he continued fighting, he would die! Joey didn't want to believe it, but he had to believe it. The biggest problem was that he was already old and didn't have the courage to fight to the death. Right now, he would rather hide behind the Evil Tooth Barrier and rely on the terrain and power to resist the strong enemies.

The wolf bandits instantly left.

Alan narrowed his eyes and put away Red King. Undying Joey had so many real materials that even if he turned into a bolt of lightning with nine blades of lightning, he wouldn't die. This old man was indeed worthy of being the first expert to sit firmly in the Black Lands. However, he was not even a bit inferior to Hoey. Hoey turned grass into a spear, perfectly resisting the Vermillion Flame Lightning that annihilated him. Joey couldn't do it. He could only forcefully scatter the lightning, but he still slashed Alan on the shoulder. The Heavenly Fire Saber Qi entered his body, heavily injuring him.

However, that person did not use all of his strength. If he risked his life, he should have more than that amount of strength.

Allen's ears twitched as the sound of horse hooves entered his ears.

Gulus, who was lying on the ground, could clearly feel the ground trembling. He raised his head and saw a horse caravan galloping towards him from the direction of the Black Wood Forest.

A few green seedlings flourished under the low slope. When spring is over, the green seedlings will grow into a kind of green fern unique to the gray hills. They will decorate this gray undulating land, then turn yellow in autumn, die in winter snow, and complete a complete cycle of reincarnation.

Gurus looked at the green seedlings and thought that he was just like them. He managed to survive the cold winter and finally had the chance to sprout and regenerate. He looked at the silver-haired man who was talking to an old man not far away. He was not grateful, but more afraid. He was afraid of that terrifying strength that was completely incompatible with his age, afraid of the calmness of saying "I'll kill you" to Joey.

However, it was also because of him that Gurus managed to recover his life, and even his injuries were properly treated.

At this moment, that person returned.

"How are you doing?" Alan looked at the man and asked. He had already learned from Biric's mouth that this man was Joey's capable general, one of the adopted sons adopted by the old man, Gurus.

Gurus nodded and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Who are you?"

Alan smiled and said, "I will bring new rules to the Black Lands. Gurus, I know who you are. So tell me frankly why Joey wants to kill you. Don't waste my time. I can save you, I can kill you."

Gurus had no doubt about this. Moreover, he had no intention of concealing the truth. There was nothing to conceal in the first place.

After briefly describing the reason why he betrayed the Wolf, Gurus said in a low voice, "Sir, since you saved me, can you give me another horse? My horse is dead, and it would be even better if I could get some food and water."

"You want to leave this place?"

"There's no place for me in the Black Lands anymore."

"Your request is not difficult to solve. I just want to ask you, where are you going after leaving the Black Land? Or, what else can you do if you don't become a wolf bandit?" Ellen smiled and said, "If you leave the Black Lands and just add another bandit to the outside world, then I might as well kill you here. After all, I'm still a lord. There's no reason to let a bandit go, right?"

'"Are you the lord?" Gurus asked doubtfully.

"As you can see, I am still a viscount." Ellen admitted generously, "I'm not afraid to tell you that it's impossible to let you go, but you have another path to take."

Gurus smiled bitterly. "The way to hell?"

"Not really. It's just that this path won't be so easy." Alan simply sat beside him and pointed in the direction of the Evil Tooth Barrier. "I wasn't joking just now. If I want to change the rules here, I'll start by killing Joey." Only when the mountain in the land of darkness fell could this place be revived. "Just like you, Gurus, have you ever thought that you might become a noble in ten years?"

'"Sir, I have no idea what you're talking about," said Gurus with a strange expression.

"You will know, Gurus. As long as you do as I say, I will kill Joey, and you will be my agent in the Land of Darkness. I'll give you, and people like you, a new set of rules to follow. Before long, you will no longer be wearing the robes of bandits. Instead, you will be noble lords. "Of course it sounds ridiculous, but if someone told you ten years ago that your Gurus would betray Joey, I don't think you would believe it."

"So you see, the world is so wonderful that nothing is impossible. The only difference is whether you will do it or not, whether you dare to do it or not," Alan said with a smile.

Alan patted Gurus on the shoulder and didn't say anything else. He walked towards Biric and the others.

Looking at his back, Gurus faintly felt that this man might bring him a whole new world!
