Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 988: Steel General

The general dismounted.

Budara raised his hand, and the Unbeatable Warriors and Cavalry that surrounded Allen withdrew ten meters away to make room. Allen raised his head and glanced around. He held the corners of his mouth and said softly in a voice he could only hear, "Just this distance? Not enough to look at."

At this moment, Father Miro and Gurus alighted from the carriage. Curus's expression was much better now. He looked at General Budara, and his gaze fell on Alan again, his gaze heavy. Joey had evaluated Budara, Wes and Black Warbler, three of his peers, with Budara receiving the highest rating. General Bu Dala's battle skill was truly a formidable person who charged into the frontlines. Joey once said that if Budara was given a suitable battlefield, the leader of the Unable was most likely to hurt him.

Although it was only a possibility, Joey already had a high opinion of Budara. After all, in Joey's eyes, Wes and Black Warbler weren't qualified to hurt his villains and women.

Gurus' comments on Joey were still fresh in his ears. But even Joey was defeated by that young and powerful man. How could General Budala be his opponent?

Gurus still hadn't forgotten the shocking scene of the day. Although he had the courage to charge towards that insurmountable mountain, he had never thought that Joey would be injured or escape. This was even more inconceivable than his betrayal of Zhan Lang.

The atmosphere in the arena became solemn, and the setting sun, which was about to fall off the horizon, looked bleak and powerless at this moment. Gurus saw that Alan's hands were repeatedly clenching and relaxing, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on the sheath on Alan's back. Red King quietly inserted himself into the scabbard, showing no sign of being unsheathed. Gurus took a deep breath. In the eyes of that man, Budara was actually not qualified to let him use a knife?

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Alan disappeared from where he was. The naked eye was no longer able to capture his movements at this moment. Only perception allowed Gurus to "see" Alan flash in front of Budara.

The distance between the two of them was more than twenty meters, and Alan had already reached it in one step!

Alan's foot paused and his right fist swung towards Budara's chest. The punch produced a dull accent, causing Budara's heart to sink. What kind of heavy punch power would cause such a heavy object to crack through the air. Budara's pale blue eyes narrowed into a crack as he placed his hands on Allen's fist, wanting to stop him from punching. However, when the fists and palms collided, Budala's eyes widened and he was forced back by Alan's punch.

A series of explosive crackling sounds resounded in the air. Countless collisions between the Origin Energy of the two sides took place in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, a suffocating strong wind blew out from the field. Amidst the turbulent air currents that spread out in all directions, Budara's entire cloak flew forward, almost wrapping around his entire body. The general retreated abruptly, his legs ploughing deep grooves on the ground, stepping on two smoke dragons!

The horse hissed.

The incapable were in a mess behind him, allowing Budara to make a path. Brada skidded nearly a hundred meters before stopping. His thick back collided with a towering old cypress. A series of dense cracking sounds rang out from the blood cypress. The bark of the tree cracked repeatedly, and the giant tree trembled and slowly fell. Another three to five ten-year-old young trees were crushed, causing a huge commotion.

Budara shook his palm. His palm was flushed red, and he felt numb and painful like a needle. He snorted and his momentum surged. Behind him, the wood shattered leaves spun wildly, and a tornado suddenly soared into the sky. The gale dissipated in an instant, and a tall phantom appeared behind Bu Dala. The phantom's meridians gradually solidified, forming a mighty projection of a half-body wearing hard armor and holding a large shield sword.

"It's a steel general! The general has released the projection!"

"That white-haired kid should be crying now."

When the Unable Warriors saw Budara release the projection, their hearts immediately surged, and they all cheered for their general. The three executives looked at each other, but no one smiled. They weren't as optimistic as those warriors. The other party hadn't even activated the engraving yet, but they had already forced Budala to release the projection. The strength of both sides could be seen.

Budara's face was expressionless. He took a long breath and his entire body flashed with a flowing water-like luster. The luster was similar to metal, and this layer of luster covered Budala from head to toe, making him look like a piece of metal armor. When Allen's perception came into contact with the streak of light, it gave off sensations such as vibration, hardness, and so on. It could be seen that Budala's Origin Energy Barrier was not simple. It should belong to a special ability.

Alan had predicted that this metallic streak of light on Bu Dala's body was precisely his ability, the Vibrating Armor. With both high defense and shock partial derivative attributes, Budala raised his hand and grabbed it. Large amounts of golden light emerged from the void and gathered between the general's hands, wrapping around Budala's arms and palms. These rays of light continued to flicker and swallow, emitting hissing sounds that gave off an exceptionally sharp feeling. Behind the armor was a sharp blade that could pierce through armor and kill enemies. The ability to "cut sharply" created an energy cutting jet on the surface of Budara's hands. The sharpness of the jet was far beyond that of ordinary blades and swords.

At the same time, he activated the Shockwave Armor and Sharp Cut. Now, this stance was Bu Dala's complete combat state.

"Again," Pudala hooked his finger at Alan.

The corner of Alan's mouth lifted up, but he still didn't activate the engraving. He only activated the Calamity Circuit secretly, using Karin's Heavy Transformation ability, allowing the hardness of the bones in his arms to catch up with that of the alloy. He narrowed his eyes, and with a flash of lightning, he did not pounce on Budara, but flashed in front of a blood cypress tree. He reached out his hand and grabbed it, then his five fingers stuck deeply into the hundred-year-old tree. He bent his fingers and lifted them up, causing the ground to tremble. The Blood Cypress, which needed to be hugged by both of them, was pulled up by Allen's roots.

As the mud powder flew around, Alan used the tree as a spear and threw it at Budala. The cypress pierced through the air and let out a thunderous roar as it pressed down heavily on Budala. The general let out a muffled snort. A golden halo of light danced out from his hands and smashed into the cypress tree. A series of explosions immediately sounded. The Blood Cypress seemed to have been sawn apart by a chainsaw, and the bark powder flew everywhere, tearing it into pieces under the golden halo of the general.

Ellen narrowed his eyes and became objective about the cutting jet between the general's hands. The two cutting jets were indeed not simple. Alan asked himself. Even the alloy armor he wore, the Eternal Guardian, probably wouldn't be able to withstand a few rounds of cutting. He didn't dare to be careless, and the Heavenly Fire Flow Force within his body began to move at a certain rhythm. When the flame marks appeared on Allen's body, a blush rose in the surrounding space. Sparks scattered all over the sky, and the temperature rose again and again.

The Unable Warrior and the three executives were all shocked. At this moment, even ordinary people could clearly feel the waves of heat being pushed around Allen. It was as if a furnace had been erected in Allen's space. The temperature was high enough to melt metal!

Allen raised his hand and grabbed it. Under the traction of Origin Energy, a Blood Cypress ten meters away from his left began to buzz and tremble. He picked it up and flew towards Alan. As the cypress soared into the air, the tree's body emitted no fire and smoke. Then, flames flickered, and dozens of streams of fire shot out from within the tree. Skyfire erupted and the Blood Cypress disintegrated in the air. The fragile parts of the tree were reduced to ashes by the flames, leaving behind only a sturdy tree core.

Alan grabbed the burning tree core and pushed it forward. The heart of the tree disintegrated again, forming dozens of fire-burning wooden blades that shot towards Budala. This move was learned from Hoey's Myriad Grass Spear. However, Alan was still slightly inferior to Hoey in terms of the accuracy of Origin Energy control. He could only extract the tree core wood into dozens of wooden blades. If Hoey had used it, it would have drawn at least a hundred wooden spears, and the power would have been very different.

However, Bu Dala did not dare to underestimate them. In the end, the materials of those wooden sabers were only the most solid part of the cypress wood. However, as the wooden saber flew, the flames on the saber continued to press into the saber body, causing the wooden saber to produce crimson flame marks. In this way, each wooden saber was filled with Origin Energy, so how could it be ignored? The general's eyes suddenly sharpened. Instead of retreating, he moved forward, both of his hands dancing towards the flame-grained wooden saber that shot towards him from the sky.

He danced out two golden balls of light with both of his hands. Every time he faced a wooden saber, the cutting jet in the golden light would crush it into pieces. However, the Heavenly Flame Origin Energy within the wooden saber also exploded. Even though the Heavenly Flame Origin Energy contained within each wooden saber was limited, dozens of fire balls exploded around Budala's body. The explosions were muffled, and the spectators in the forest were all staring straight when the last wooden saber exploded. The audience saw clearly that Alan Ouroboros had crashed into the flames of the explosion, and then Bradley's roar sounded from the flames.

After that, Budara suddenly smashed out of the flames. The cloak on his body had already been ignited by the Heavenly Flame. He looked miserable, but he hadn't received any fatal injuries. However, the golden light between his hands was no longer there. At this moment, the general stood still, and Alan had already flashed to his side. Alan suddenly lowered his body and swept his legs, causing the general to lose his balance. He put his hand on Budara's arm and crushed the general to the ground.

Butara was stupefied by the blow and did not react. Alan had already sat on his body. Then, he raised his fists and landed, with a muffled accent that caused one's scalp to explode! Bu Dala could only cross his arms and block Alan's heavy punch. The two of them clashed with each other's fists and arms, releasing a low explosive sound that struck everyone's hearts like a drum. Everyone's hearts were beating heavily. Then, Allen's fists repeatedly lifted and knocked down, causing the audience's hearts to jump in fear when they heard the frequent collisions.

With the two people at the center of the circle, the ground quickly cracked and spread out amidst the frequent collisions. Alan smashed out over a hundred punches in one breath and finally stopped. However, the two of them had already entered the ground by three-thirds, and a round crater with a diameter of three to four meters appeared around them. When Alan raised his fist, the layer of metallic light on Budala's body flashed twice and disappeared. His shockwave armor was brutally smashed apart by Alan's heavy punch!

Alan smiled and said, "Do you believe me now?"

A bitter smile appeared on Budara's face. "If I say no, I'm lying to myself."

Alan stood up and extended his hand to the general. After a moment of hesitation, Budara clenched her teeth and tightened her grip on Alan's hand, which pulled him up from the ground.

At this time, it was dark.
