Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 382: Lightning Cutting

A fierce battle.

The high level of tacit understanding shown by the Mountain King warriors made the Black Cloud Knights, who were far above them, unable to display their advantage in cavalry battles, seemingly bound their hands and feet to the Mountain King's team battle mode. The Black Cloud Knights' attacks were undoubtedly powerful and powerful, but the Mountain Kings could always use various methods to neutralize their attacks through cooperation.

The Black Cloud Knights had fallen into a bitter battle. Although they were still at a disadvantage with one versus three, they were unable to break the three Mountain King Warriors neatly. This caused their previous plan of showing off their might in front of the soldiers of Storm City to be frustrated. The more the Black Cloud Knight fought, the more anxious he became. The flames on his body suddenly lit up, and he was about to attack the assassin fiercely. Alan and Sharon stood up together and shouted, "Stop!"

The Mountain King Warrior immediately withdrew his shield and retreated without any hesitation. The Black Cloud Knight hesitated for a moment before withdrawing his Origin Energy and dragging his spear back. Compared to Alan, the Mountain King warriors were naturally more loyal to Alan's orders. Sharon snorted and glanced at Haggers before smiling and saying to Alan, "Mr. Alan's warriors are truly valiant. They are actually able to draw with our Black Cloud Knights. This is truly beyond my expectations."

"Sir Sharon is too courteous. Most of the Black Cloud Knights' combat strength should be on horseback. If we do fight, my Mountain King will probably have a problem defending." Alan replied, speaking the truth. However, if the two armies were to face each other, he would definitely not use the Mountain King to face the Black Cloud Knights' charge. Instead, they would use flame fighters or heavy artillery to cover them, dismounting them as they charged.

The Black Cloud Knights who had lost their horses would at least be able to split their combat strength in half. At that time, they would use all sorts of tactics to split up and annihilate them. That was the only way to win.

Sharon naturally didn't know what Alan was thinking. It was useful to hear him praise his knight as well. However, when he thought of the true loyalty of the Black Cloud Knight to Haggers and not to himself, he couldn't help but feel unhappy in his heart.

"I heard that Lord Allen captured Commander Mogu of the Knights of Wrath and killed Sir Maud. We admire Lord Allen for his bravery. I wonder if Lord Allen will show us any mercy." Tucker left the table and said to Allen, "I heard that Lord Allen captured Commander Mogu of the Knights of Wrath that day."

Alan swept his gaze towards Sharon, who pretended to be angry, "What are you talking about, Tagus? Mr. Allen's shoulders are to blame. How can he play tricks on you? Why don't you scram back?"

On the surface, he seemed to be defending Allen, but in reality, he was implying that Allen was in a high position. If even his subordinates' commanders were defeated, they wouldn't be able to lose face like this. Alan could not understand the meaning behind Sharon's words, but he thought of a way to deal with it. Regis stood up and sneered, "Baron Sharon is right. What kind of person is our City Lord? He can't compete with a small commander like you. If you want to ask for advice, let me teach you."

Tucker didn't have the qualifications to compete with Allen, but Allen secretly applauded Regis's rude words. Both Sharon and Tucker's expressions changed. Alan said indifferently, "This is my brother, Regis. He is still young and doesn't know how to speak properly. I hope you two don't mind. However, Regis's strength isn't inferior to mine. If Commander Tucker is interested, I might as well let him play with you."

He looked at Sharon again and smiled, "Of course, if Mr. Sharon is itchy, I'd be happy to accompany him."

Sharon chuckled dryly, so he naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to accept Alan's invitation. He thought Alan couldn't afford to lose, but Sharon himself was.

'"Baron, please allow me to consult this Mr. Regis!" Tucker said in a low voice, disdainful of being underestimated by a little kid from Regis.

He deliberately emphasized the word "consult", but he was trying to teach Regis a lesson. Sharon had no reason to refuse, so after leaving for a while, Tucker returned to the arena and climbed onto the high platform. Regis gestured "OK" to Alan and jumped up with his sword in his arms.

Tucker unhurriedly put on a finger glove and said with his fingers raised, "Mr. Regis, you're welcome. Take action. I won't hurt you."

'"Since it's a show today, I won't unsheath my sword. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good to see blood, right?" Said Regis calmly.

Alan laughed to himself. Regis and Adele had been together for a long time, and their conversation was sometimes very poisonous. Tucker's eyes flashed with resentment. He nodded and said, "I hope your sword is as sharp as yours."

"Don't worry, I won't disappoint you." josei

Hagrid coughed softly and said, "Guys, this is just a friendly sparring. Please take care of yourself and don't hurt your harmony."

He then gestured for them to begin.

Tucker waved his hand at Regis, who shrugged his shoulders without being polite. The Iron Slash Sword, still in its sheath, pointed at Tucker. The sheath shone with a flame, pulling out a dark red streak of light in the night. It was as fast as lightning and like the wind, making Tucker, who was originally looking down on him, extremely cautious. His pupils contracted as he looked for the tip of the Iron Slashing Sword in the flames and spat out a punch.

The tip of the fist hit the tip of the sword, and the light dissipated. The Iron Slashing Sword buzzed endlessly in the sheath of the sword. Tucker sneered as he retracted his fist and leaned over, punching towards Regis' lower abdomen. Regis swiftly pointed at the tip of his foot and flew back with the afterimages. He took another spinning step, and when a wave of air exploded from the tips of his feet, he had already moved sideways. The speed was so fast that Tucker couldn't catch it.

Before Tucker could retract his fist, Regis had already charged forward. The sheath of his sword carried a sharp wind, dragging the dark red flames and lightning towards him.

A series of explosive sounds rang out on the platform. Tucker took out his true ability and continuously used his fist to hit the tip of his sword while he was moving at a high speed, disintegrating his attack. His fist origin power was concentrated, his fist momentum was fierce, and his strength wasn't inferior to Mo De's that day. It could be seen that he was praised as the second expert after Hagrid, and his reputation was not in vain. Tucker had attacked and defended under Regis' constant attacks with his [Flash] sword technique, making it exceptionally brilliant.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already exchanged blows for dozens of rounds. In the battle circle, the flames of origin collided with each other continuously, as well as the rumbling waves of energy. Only a few people below the stage could clearly see this kind of high-speed battle. In the eyes of the other soldiers, it was a brilliant light, but it did not prevent them from seeing it infatuated.

After another short exchange, Tucker sneered and alternated his fists with lightning. Every punch contained an explosive Origin Energy, and its momentum was like rain, chasing after Regis endlessly. Regis was trapped for a moment, unable to shine. He could only use his sword to block Tucker's attack.

A series of explosions rang out on the stage, and Tucker smashed into him. Regis used his sword as a shield to block his torrential collision. He quickly slid back onto the stage and fell into the middle of the fire, causing Alan to sweat secretly.

Tucker was quite graceful and didn't pursue. Instead, he stood where he was and allowed Regis to stabilize his body.

He said calmly, "Mr. Regis's sword skill is indeed interesting, but unfortunately, this kind of high-speed moving sword skill has a fatal weakness."

"Oh, what is it?" Regis asked humbly.

"Attack interval." Tucker raised a finger and said, "I noticed a second or so between Mr. Regis's attacks in the fight." That's probably because you need to dissipate the inertia of moving at high speeds, readjust your body and distance, and prepare for your next attack. For ordinary people, this interval is a flash, but for me, it's too long. It's long enough for me to counteract, just like I did just now. "

Alan secretly nodded. This Tucker was also a bit talented. Regis' flash was undoubtedly a high-speed sword skill, but just like Tucker said, it did have a weakness like the interval between attacks. However, such a weakness was usually concealed by Regis through movement or evasion, and was difficult to detect. Unexpectedly, this Tucker was very careful. After fighting with Regis for a while, he discovered the flaws of the flash.

"I apologize for what I said just now. Mr. Tucker is indeed an expert that needs to be dealt with seriously." Regis grinned. "So, I have to use a trick to suppress my opponent. This is the least I can do to show respect to an expert," he said.

Tucker lowered his center of gravity, put on a posture with both hands, and nodded, "I'll wait."

"Please be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Regis turned into a flash of light and shot out. Tucker's eyes were filled with confusion. He didn't understand why Regis did it again. He intended to take advantage of the interval between his attacks to counterattack. Unexpectedly, the flash had reached the end of the crossbow. It was supposed to have dissipated and entered the interval. However, the flash that shot straight at him suddenly turned around and flashed to Tucker's side. Then, the flash of lightning flashed horizontally!

So fast!

Tucker didn't even have time to enter the defense, so he could only barely turn his body sideways, and his waist had already been scratched by the sheath of Regis' sword. Even though the end of the sword was unsheathed, the powerful Origin Energy knocked him out of balance and pounced on the ground. Tucker shouted loudly and instantly bounced up from the ground. He waved his fist and rushed towards the predicted location. However, there was a flicker of fire at the place where Regis was supposed to stop at the end of his momentum. Before Tucker could retract his punch, he brushed past his back.

Everyone on the stage was dumbfounded. Regis seemed to have transformed into a bolt of lightning, constantly bouncing around Tucker and aiming at the gap in Tucker's defenses to attack. Alan was surprised. It still looked like a flash, but Regis had successfully eliminated the weakness of the attack interval. Moreover, the distance between the flashes was reduced by more than half, and the attack frequency had more than doubled.

As a result, even if it was the same skill, its destructive power had more than doubled.

After dozens of twists and turns, Regis pulled out a streak of light that moved ten meters horizontally and stopped. The campfire lit up his sweaty face. It could be seen that using this brand new technique had consumed a lot of energy. On the other side, Tucker was dumbfounded. Just now, he had been struck at least five times. If Regis's sword had been unsheathed, he would have been a corpse on the stage by now.

Tucker finally smiled bitterly and said, "I lost. Can you tell me what kind of skill this is?"

"Previously, it was flash, but just now, it was a skill that was improved on the basis of flash. I call it Lightning Cut." Regis looked at Alan and moved again.

Alan read his lips, "That was a surprise for you."

This brat was still obsessed with defeating him. Alan smiled helplessly.
