Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 854: Legend

Almost every famous person had a legend that belonged to him. Celebrities didn't jump out of the cracks in the rocks, nor did they sit on fame as soon as they were born. Almost all of them had a pattern of becoming famous, and that was climbing up on other people's shoulders. In this era, fame was even more so. Not only did he step on other people's shoulders, he even stepped on other people's corpses and walked out of the pile of dead people.

Black Saber Murphy was such a person.

He was born on the surface, and like many people, Murphy was an abandoned orphan. After being raised by a miner, Murphy grew up in the mine. She started working in the mine at the age of five, and her adoptive father died at the age of seven. The mine was closed, and Murphy began his wandering career. Half a year later, he joined a small-town gangster who specialized in sneaking around.

By the time she was eight years old, Murphy was already the child king of the Boy Gang. She had more than 20 children, big and small, under her command. He only had to report to the boss of the Boy Gang. Their boss was a man, a man who often carried a stolen assault rifle with him. This rifle allowed dozens of children, including Murphy, to serve him. At the same time, it also made the man's life very comfortable.

At least in that small town, where there were less than a hundred households, there was clean bread to eat every day. It was already considered a high-class person.

Unfortunately, the scenery didn't last long.

In May's third year in the Boy Gang, in the spring, a car passed by the town and spent the night in the town. That night, Murphy and the kids broke into the car and stole a suitcase hidden under the seat. That suitcase was delicately crafted and was the only one Murphy had ever seen in her life. He immediately judged that there was something valuable hidden inside, but when he opened it, he was disappointed.

Because there were some reagents inside, not the gold bars or precious stones he had imagined. At that time, Murphy was still illiterate, so she could not understand the labels of these reagents. In fact, the words "Enlightenment Medicine" were written on the labels of these reagents. Afterwards, Murphy handed the box to her boss. That man was literate and knew what the enlightenment potion was. She leaked her mouth in delight, letting Meifei know that it was something that could change the fate of ordinary people.

The man deserved to be unlucky. He didn't ask where the potions came from, so he contacted the seller. Murphy stole one of the items before it was sold. Then she left the town overnight, left the gangs, and luckily escaped. The night after he left, the town was suddenly surrounded by a fully armed army. Murphy's boss was found and beaten to death in front of everyone in town.

That night, the gunshots from the small town kept ringing out. By dawn, the town had become history, and everyone in the town had been shot. When people died, they didn't even know why they were killed. Of course, the person who retrieved the box found that there was a missing reagent inside, but he didn't care.

This reagent had finally changed Murphy's fate. He hid in a dilapidated house in the night where his hands were raised and his fingers were not seen. He injected the medicine in the reagent into his body, successfully igniting the fire seed and bidding farewell to his identity as an ordinary person.

Afterwards, Murphy walked over step by step like this. Because he liked to use a pitch black saber, people in the Dark World called him Black Saber, and Murphy was quite satisfied with the nickname. Now, he had become a legend, but now, this legend didn't know that he was standing in front of another legend.

Anna frowned. A fierce figure like Meifei should have been monitored by the Federation. However, for some reason, Murphy had not seen any restrictions from the Federation over the years since she became famous. If there was nothing fishy about it, Anna wouldn't believe it if she beat him to death. She was in charge of Bescot's intelligence system. She knew very well that some big shots liked to foster people like Murphy. They would cover up their identities for people like Murphy and confuse the intelligence system of the Federation. Thus, they would have the combat power of a general.

Now Murphy was someone else's saber, and he was willing to do the same. Just like he said before, as long as the price was right, he could work hard. This was the most common mentality of people living on the surface. Murphy was born in the marketplace. Even though her status was different from before, there were some things that had not changed, and could not be changed.

He walked towards Horn with his knife in his hand.

In fact, he did not know who Horn was. His employer only gave him a photo and asked for the life of the person in the photo. The person in that photo was Horn. Of course, the employer would provide some information, such as the identity of the target, combat strength assessment, and so on. After obtaining this information, Meifei would not dash forward foolishly. He had his own intelligence system and would confirm it. If the employer were to play tricks in this regard, Murphy would not take over the business. Instead, he did not mind cutting off an arm or arm from the employer with a knife as a lesson.

Now that he was here, he naturally confirmed the information provided by his employer. For example, this man was a wealthy businessman on a floating island, and he had a woman at the level of a lieutenant colonel beside him as his bodyguard. As for the relationship between the employer and the target, Murphy was not interested in knowing about it and would not inquire about it. This was originally a taboo in their profession.

Originally, everything was as he had expected, but now there were two accidents. The first was that the employer had actually sent out an unmanned drone with a large killing weapon like the Flaming Star Missile. Those two missiles were equivalent to half of his reward. This could be said to be a large sum of money, and the target's guards had also displayed extraordinary shooting abilities. They had actually detonated two high-speed missiles in mid-air.

This was the first accident.

The second surprise was that now, as his target, the wealthy businessman on the island wasn't afraid of him, but had to personally take action. Meifei almost thought that she had heard wrong. After all, this man didn't have the slightest bit of combat strength in the intelligence reports. Actually, this was also the case. At least, from Meifei's perception, the other party's body did not have any reaction of Origin Energy, just like an ordinary person.

Murphy couldn't find anything special other than her calm and unperturbed demeanor. But even so, he decided to fight with all his might. God knows if this man would hide any other experts. For example, the driver who was still in the flying car?

Halfway through the distance, Murphy unsheathed her black saber. The black saber was actually a very ordinary saber. Apart from its entire body being pitch black, there was nothing else special about it. It was not a magical weapon, and the blade had no lines on its body. It was pitch black. If it had to be said that it was special, then there were probably three small gaps in its blade. These three gaps represented that Murphy had killed the three strongest people.

They left a gap in the black saber, and the price was their lives.

After the black saber was unsheathed, some faint black light started to appear around Murphy. They moved like lightning, disappearing in a flash, but wrapped around Murphy and constantly flickered. Seeing those black lines, Anna's pupils constricted. Those weren't light, but saber qi. It was also Murphy's ability. This man was as sharp as a knife. Probably only with this kind of temperament would he be able to achieve such a great reputation today.

Unfortunately, Murphy finally kicked an iron plate.

Three hundred meters away from Horn, Murphy disappeared. Even Anna could not catch his tracks. Murphy, who was moving at a high speed, quickly retreated from the scenery on both sides. Everything became blurry, only the target in her eyes was as clear as before. So he saw that Horn still hadn't discovered him, which was perfectly normal. He had already decided to end this meaningless battle in the simplest possible way. At this moment, the target lifted his crutch, tilting the end of the crutch forward, not knowing what the purpose was. josei

Afterwards, Murphy's neck heavily smashed into the cane. The Origin Energy of his protective body was easily pierced through by the end of the battle. Then, his abdomen was pushed down, and his organs were twisted into a ball. Murphy opened her eyes wide and spat out a mouthful of bile. Horn smiled and took a step to the side. He let go of the mouthful of filth and retreated. Murphy clutched her abdomen and retreated repeatedly, not knowing what had happened.

Only Anna could clearly see that Horn suddenly took a step forward when he raised the crutch. It was this step that caused Murphy, who was charging at high speed, to crash into her walking stick. It seemed simple, but it was even harder to predict Murphy's movements at high speeds than ascending to the heavens.

Murphy spat out another mouthful of bile and roared angrily as she raised her saber. However, before this saber could be used, the crutch that was still in Horn's hands had already been pointed at Murphy's throat at some unknown time. Even though the other party did not reveal any Origin Energy, Murphy knew that if he was willing, he would only need to gently send the abduction stick forward. From then on, there would be no more Black Knife Murphy.

At this time, Meifei still didn't know that the other party was a hidden expert, so it would be a waste of her life. His forehead was covered in sweat as he said in a trembling voice, "Who exactly are you?"

'"Looks like you've plotted against your employer. If he told you my true identity, I don't think you would have taken over the business. If you want to clarify this question, I suggest you go back and ask him yourself." Horn smiled as he withdrew his cane and said to Anna, "Let's go. We've been delayed for a long time."

Anna nodded. She retreated in case Murphy took action.

But when Horn got into the car, Murphy still maintained her knife-raising posture, but she looked a little lost. When the flying car drove forward, his subordinates automatically made way without Murphy's orders. When the flying car was far away, the black knife fell to the ground and Murphy knelt on the ground as if she had collapsed.

In the car, Anna frowned and said, "Master, you are so generous."

Horn laughed and said, "You're blaming me for letting Mephiro go."

"I can send one Murphy this time, and another next time. If I don't kill Murphy, there will still be people who will continue to accept this kind of business."

"You want me to kill Murphy Livy?" Horn shook his head. "There's no need for people like Anna Murphy to be loyal. When he finds out that someone is lying to him, he will naturally go back and look for trouble. Once the trouble is solved, no one will be willing to accept the same deal."

"Even so, you can't let Murphy off. Leave him to me, and I can figure out who dares to openly attack you on the surface!"

Horn looked out of the window and said indifferently, "There's no need to guess, Anna. Don't forget which borough we are in now."
