“Is this guy here to poke fun?”
After seeing Lex, this was everyone’s initial reaction. Still, some people immediately recognized Lex was dead serious.
An Army colonel-general stepped forward. He was prepared to take the place of his superior in this battle.
“Raj, step back,” Sharp said in a stern tone. The robot insect’s lens zoomed in.
Sharp’s figure was not on the tall side. His average-looking face was expressionless, and his posture was straight as a pole. If he was put into a crowd, one could easily see he was a soldier. If one had to list what distinguishable features he had, it would be that a sheathed black sword hung from the right side of his waist. Although the blade’s scabbard was plain and mundane looking, its craftsmanship was exquisite.
“If it was under any other circumstance, I’d be more than happy to exchange blows with another swordsman.” As Sharp spoke, he was expressionless as usual. “But unfortunately, as for today, I’m sorry…”
After he said this, he extended a hand to his blade, movement slow enough that even Gu Ding could see clearly. The moment he gripped the hilt, Sharp’s manner suddenly became frightening—like an unsheathed changdao sword, sharp and dangerous.
His right hand grasped the saber firmly, and he moved his arm in an upward motion, lifting the saber. Before the saber left its scabbard, the surface of the ground started quaking.
Even Gu Ding, who was at the outermost edge of the battlefield, could clearly feel the movement beneath his feet. A roar sounded in the distance, and a huge ravine of which the bottom could not be seen appeared in the desert in the video. The ravine continued extending as it cracked toward Lex’s direction.
Just then, another person moved—it was that black-robed, masked man. Two black handguns appeared in his hands, and he made five consecutive shots in a movement so quick it was imperceptible, aiming directly at five of the Army’s people.
“A gunner!” Liliath could not resist yelping in surprise. She did not think a gunner would appear in a battle of this caliber.
Just as she was doubting whether bullets had any effect on these powerhouses, she was shocked to see not just three colonel generals, even Sharp and Wendell—these two generals of the Army—suddenly made dodging motions.
After that, Liliath and Gu Ding witnessed a shocking scene. After the bullets were dodged, in the instant they hit the ground, causing an enormous explosion. A scene like a volcano erupting unfolded before their eyes.
“What sort of special bullets are those?” Gu Ding was a little dumbstruck as he watched this, and he could not help asking Liliath.
“No, they’re just regular bullets, only that they’ve been enhanced with his primary power.” Neptune interrupted to explain. He knew Liliath was also not quite certain what had just happened.
“A martial artist’s primary power can be that terrifying?” Although Gu Ding had heard of primary power before, he had never personally witnessed the destruction a martial artist who possessed primary power could create.
“It’s because his primary power’s level of practice is very high, and his primary power inherently has explosive properties, so it creates this effect.”
The masked man’s sudden unprovoked attack completely put an end to the current, peaceful situation.
The old man with psychokinesis from the Liberty Alliance suddenly appeared in front of Lexy and reached out a finger. A semicircular translucent shield enveloped Lex and his brother. Sharp’s blade ruthlessly slashed over the shield. After a moment, he returned it to its sheath, and the splitting ground finally stopped.
“You’re not ready to face Sharp yet,” said the old man, turning his head to smile at Lex. Before Lex could thank him, the old man suddenly appeared in front of Sharp.
Seeing the old man make a move, Sharp’s gaze darted all over the place. He inhaled deeply. “Senior…”
“After not meeting for so many years, you’ve become a general.” The old man smiled wryly.
“If I didn’t have your guidance…” Sharp seemed to have a history with the old man.
