Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 655: Counterattack

"Keep an eye on him, Hyde. We'll go over immediately and tell me where you are." Ma Lei hurriedly said from the communication trail.

Hyde reported a coordinate and then quietly hid in the canopy without moving. He let out a breath as gentle as a gentle breeze, and even the temperature of his body gradually decreased. If the heat sensors were to scan Hyde's area, they would probably confuse him with the plants. Snipers all had their own methods of concealment, and Hyde was no exception. He activated the safety of the sniper rifle and pressed a physical bullet into the barrel of the rifle, ready to fire.

Although the Origin Energy Sniper was a bit more powerful, it could easily trigger the other party's senses when activating the sequence. There was no need to worry about using a physical bomb. All Hyde had to do was to avoid letting his opponent feel his killing intent before shooting. In the glance, the figure appeared on the left side of the cross. Hyde didn't put the opponent into the target right away, which would allow the target to sense his killing intent.

Hyde gradually corrected his trajectory based on the crosshairs. Just as his finger was gently pressing down on the trigger, that figure suddenly jumped into the sea of grass and disappeared!

"Damn it." Hyde cursed softly.

"What happened?" Marley's voice rang out from his headset.

"Nothing, boss. It's just that the target is starting to move. Don't worry, I'll find him."

"You'd better hurry."

I want to hurry, too. Hyde thought to himself. His glance swept around, and Hyde observed the sea of grass around him. Distorted figures flashed across the grass from time to time. They were the figures of the residents of the Chaos Canyon. However, he couldn't find his target. Time passed quickly in seconds, and the sweat on Hyde's face also increased.

Come out. Come out. Come out! Hyde wiped his sweat and cursed softly. He moved closer to the mirror and pointed at the wave of grass that was still swaying in the wind. The target seemed to have evaporated from the world. Hyde's breathing became rapid and his body temperature rose.

The hound's voice sounded in his headset, "Run, he's eyeing you!"

Before Hyde could react, the scope suddenly darkened. He finally knew what had happened and pressed down on the trigger. Before the trigger could be pressed to the end, the sniper rifle suddenly lightened. Hyde raised his head and saw a red light flash past the gun. Half of the gun's body slid away, and the cut was so smooth that Hyde's figure could be seen. The red light suddenly translated and hoed Hyde's body. Hyde swore that he could hear the soft sound of armor cracking, as well as the sounds of blood vessels breaking, muscles tearing apart, and bones shattering.

He had never experienced this before.

The world began to spin and fall in his eyes. Hyde saw a head of silver hair and an ice-cold and resolute face. On this ice-cold face, a pair of bright red eyes were filled with lava-like fervor.

Such contradictions.

In the end, Hyde saw that only half of his body was left. The area above his chest had disappeared, and blood was spraying out from the fracture like a fountain.

When Ma Lei and the others arrived, they only saw Hyde's corpse cut in half. Hyde's face was still wide open, as if he did not believe that his ending would be so miserable. The only woman on the team, Martha, squatted down. She had a dark complexion, but her hair was gray, forming a sharp contrast. Her tight battle uniform and thin leather armor highlighted her perfect curves. Her thighs were tied with saber sheaths, and her two blades were pitch black. A short saber with dark red lines in the middle was emitting a bloodthirsty light, just like Martha's current mood.

Marley's gaze fell on Hyde's corpse. There was originally a low bush here, but now it was a path that could not be clearer. Blood splashed everywhere on the other side, pointing like arrows at the grass below the slope. It was obvious that after killing Hyde, the other party had no time to clean up the traces and left in a hurry, leaving behind such obvious clues.

"Hound, find him for me." Ma Lei said in a low voice, his words roaring like thunder.

The hound silently rushed out and entered the sea of grass, but he suddenly stopped and looked back in horror. Ma Lei was stunned for a moment before realizing that the hound wasn't looking at him, but at the strange tree behind Hyde's corpse. Right at this moment, a red light flashed through the corner of his eyes, straight through the bushes and grassy slopes, pointing straight at the hound's chest.

The hound shrieked and its origin energy surged. However, before he could lift his arm, the blood-red beam of light had already passed through his chest. The remaining light flickered and gradually disappeared into the air. The hound was like a human-shaped light bulb, its skin glowing. He raised his head and looked at Marley, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, a light flashed and his entire body exploded.

The impact of the explosion caused the two of them to retreat. The major was dumbfounded as he looked in the direction where the hound had disappeared. His blood and bones were smeared all over every corner of the canyon, turning it into fresh fertilizer for the chaotic canyon. Ma Lei never thought that after the other party killed Hyde, he would not flee in such a panic as he imagined. Instead, he would set up a suspicious formation. People boldly stayed where they were and restrained their aura. In the end, he used magic energy guns and other weapons to deal a fatal blow to the hound. That kind of firing speed should be a magic energy sniper rifle. However, Marley didn't know which type of sniper rifle could explode with internal origin energy after hitting his opponent, causing the hound to self-detonate and die miserably.

The strange tree behind him suddenly exploded, and countless debris shot towards Ma Lei and the other two like sharp blades. Three bolts of white lightning shot out from Mare's back. It turned out to be metal pipes. They quickly combined into a silver rifle in Marley's hand. Malley's spear shadow surged, and the spear also protected Martha. After picking up the fragment, Ma Lei pointed his spear at the ground and looked coldly at the person in front of him.

Ellen also looked at him. The uniform Mare wore was obviously Federation style. Clearly, this group of people were here to hunt him down. Unfortunately, he had killed two of them, leaving only the man and woman in front of him.

Without a doubt, the brilliance of Origin Energy on Ma Lei's body was the most dazzling. Judging from the intensity of the light, Allen could roughly judge the opponent's strength.

"Who are you?" Ma Lei said.

Alan whispered, "Does my identity matter? Anyway, there's only one person who can walk out of the canyon tonight."

"That's right. Then it doesn't matter. After killing you, I have plenty of ways to find out your identity. At that time, not only you, but even your family members will not be spared. Young man, you don't know how much trouble you've caused."

'"I'm not afraid of trouble, but you are. If you want me to leave this place, I think you should have a headache." Allen suddenly laughed.

"Indeed, but unfortunately, you don't have the chance." Ma Lei shouted in a low voice, "Martha, you should be on guard."

The black woman nodded and pulled out two short knives from her thigh. She lowered her center of gravity slightly and stared at Alan like a female leopard. Alan still had time to give her a brilliant smile, which left Martha dumbfounded. Even though they knew that the two sides were on opposite sides, they were still torn apart by the indifferent temperament of the young man in front of them. At this moment of slight distraction, Alan had already flashed towards Marley.

Ma Lei's heart skipped a beat as soon as he moved. Allen's figure flickered blurriedly, leaving behind afterimages in the air. If he stared at it for a long time, he would feel dizzy. That was because the speed of movement within a small range had already exceeded the limit that the naked eye could capture, and that was why such a phenomenon occurred. What was even more frightening was that Allen did not charge in a straight line. At the same time as he moved, he would sometimes even retreat. Under such a strange way of moving, Marley's past experience was useless. He could not even predict when and where his opponent would cut into his side!

In Marley's horrified eyes, Allen followed his own predicted route to bully Marley. The blood energy of the heavy saber wrapped around him as if it was rising in flames. The saber slashed away, and its aura surged with excitement. Ma Lei finally raised his spear and turned into a streak of white lightning. When the tip of the spear struck Allen's blade, it did not produce the recoil it had imagined. Xue Yin was like a fallen leaf that was swung away by the battle spear, turning into a streak of blood-colored lightning that swept past the battle spear and slashed straight at Ma Lei's face.

Ma Lei was shocked, he withdrew his spear and blocked Alan's attack with all his might.

With a loud sound, the blade smashed into the body of the gun, causing sparks to splatter everywhere, and Marley was struck back repeatedly by Alan's saber. Allen raised his saber and slashed out one after another, sticking to Ma Lei's saber. Blood hid in his hands as heavy as mountains and sometimes as light as goose feathers. The combination of light and heavy made Ma Lei's hands run wild. He had never encountered an opponent with such an exquisite battle skill, and his heart was in turmoil. He really couldn't think of any expert in the Federation who was as young as Allen, who had such a delicate skill. Ignoring Origin Energy, just this kind of saber skill was already at the palace level!

Alan abruptly retreated, but the saber force he had used earlier was still so strong that Ma Lei was unable to move. After neutralizing the saber force, lightning exploded in Alan's embrace, streaks of red lightning blooming like flowers. At this moment, apart from the red lightning in Ma Lei's eyes, he couldn't see anything else.

Full bloom!

Blood hid in Allen's hands and turned into streaks of blood-colored lightning. Blood lightning interweaved into a lush forest. This forest of blood and lightning descended from the sky, and the killing intent of the saber energy enveloped the space around his body. Ma Lei didn't even know where Allen's blade was pointing, so he could only shoot blindly.

A flash of blood, lightning, and white flames exploded like this. The two of them collided with each other forcefully, and their Origin Energy violently opposed each other, engulfing everything around them like a terrifying storm. Martha was constantly pushed back by the air currents from the two sides' battle circles. In her barely opened eyes, she could only see the ground being cut off layer by layer, the bushes and bushes being uprooted, and being ground into powder by the energy in midair. Even the big tree behind them exploded, and the debris mixed into the dust and air currents, forming a gray dragon that circled upwards.

Suddenly, there was a flash of red light in the battle circle, and the grey dragon suddenly exploded, forming a ring of smoke. Martha opened her mouth wide. Grass ash and debris were falling down continuously. In the battle circle, the two of them stood upright. It was unknown whether they had decided the outcome or not. Just as this thought occurred to him, Ma Lei's body trembled and a wave of blood sprayed out from his chest. The major slowly fell in Martha's line of sight.

Along with that, Martha's fighting spirit and faith were also poured down.
