Subsequently, Axe carefully drew Wu Lei and whispered to the weapon, "Wu Lei, this time we don't need to make a big commotion."

At this moment, Axe's exclusive weapon, Wu Lei (Tearless), emitted a series of clear sounds, indicating understanding.

A critical moment! Axe was about to act without chivalry and sneak attack Quan Ya.

Suddenly, a sniper rifle fired.

*Bang!*

A bullet like a shooting star streaked towards Quan Ya's ultimate move.

This bullet was entwined with Netherworld flames from the underworld, then *rou*! (sound of something being torn apart).

A Netherworld-colored bullet disintegrated Quan Ya's ultimate move into nothingness.

Because the bullet had collided head-on with Quan Ya's ultimate move, its speed slowed down considerably.

Quan Ya saw this and hurriedly dodged.

*Pang!* The bullet passed through the wall and disappeared.

Luke's back was completely soaked with sweat. He turned around and saw that it was Xi Er and his close friend Ye Cang, "Brothers! What are you doing here?"

Ye Cang remained calm and answered frankly, "My partner, sometimes I feel like a madman. It seems I'm even more extreme than my friend."

Luke said with a smile, "Hahahaha... my friend is too kind. In comparison, I don't have the courage to go to Beast King Nebula alone and fight the S-class Dragon Ghost."

Ye Cang smiled without saying a word, nodding like a child.

This action amused Xi Er. She thought, "Ye Cang, he's really cute."

When Axe saw Xi Er, she thought she was Luke's 'that someone.'

Immediately, a sour jealousy surged into her heart.

Axe looked angry and shouted at Luke, "Scumbag! Quan Ya's knife should have cut you in half just now."

Xi Er looked at the two from the Bay Organization and immediately warned, "Ye Cang, Luke, be careful, their combat power is above the Hero level."

Ye Cang didn't care about that. He walked up to Luke to support his close friend.

"Whether they are A-level or Hero-level. Friend... if you fight, I will fight with you."

Quan Ya was a little flustered at this time, and couldn't help but think, "How can this girl's strength be so strong? Just a bullet quietly resolved my ultimate move. And this kid named Ye Cang, he dared to go to the Beast King Nebula alone to fight the S-class Phantasmal Beast!"

"This is too strong. Could it be... can the protagonist really do whatever he wants?"

For a while, Quan Ya thought, "If I continue to fight, I will definitely suffer, and I may even lose my life. If I retreat, there is no good reason."

"After all... from the moment I appeared, my *bige* (high-profile image) has already been maximized. If I leave now, I'm afraid that it will be even more difficult to make a living in the mercenary circle in the future."

Suddenly, the jealous Axe jumped up and launched a jumping slash.

Instantly, Axe, who was jumping and slashing in the air, turned the Wu Lei in her hand into a 40-meter blade, slashing at Xi Er.

Seeing this, Ye Cang hurriedly drew back and teleported.

He pushed Xi Er away, and then all the space-time quantum particles in Ye Cang's body burst out and sublimated.

Around Ye Cang's body, glittering starlight, like folded and overlapping space, slowly rose into the sky.

*Boom!*

Ye Cang concentrated and locked onto Axe's 40-meter blade with his eyes. He stepped forward with his right foot and bent his left arm to clench his fist at his waist, "Space-Time Zero Domain · Jing Ao!"

Just as Ye Cang's strongest defensive counterattack technique was about to collide head-on with Axe, Luke used a flying shoulder tackle to knock Ye Cang three or four meters away.

Luke stood still and looked at Axe without moving. As far as his eyes could see, there was only you, and... could only be you.

Axe was shocked at this time, but it was too late to take back her move.

Fortunately, Axe's exclusive weapon, Wu Lei, had long been in sync with Axe's heart.

When the weapon, Wu Lei, sensed Axe's inner panic and helplessness.

The Wu Lei blade itself hurriedly shed its murderous aura.

In an instant, the 40-meter blade returned to its previous ordinary form.

*Pfft!*

An ordinary jumping slash cut through Luke's chest.

When Axe saw that Luke was accidentally injured by her, she immediately became anxious and rushed forward to check Luke's injuries.

When Luke saw Axe's nervous and sad expression, he hurriedly comforted her, "I'm fine, Axe, this little injury is nothing."

Axe was about to step forward to bandage Luke's wound herself, when Quan Ya, who was standing aside, said, "Axe! You are really loyal. I didn't expect that you are usually so cold..."

"Today, you drew out a 40-meter blade for me, I, Quan Ya, am a little flattered."

It would have been better if Quan Ya hadn't said anything. After he said this, the originally sad and nervous Axe became even more annoyed, and angrily retorted to Quan Ya, "You're nothing! You! Are nothing! Am I doing this for you? I'm doing this for... for..."

The words were on the tip of Axe's tongue, but she swallowed them back. In fact, she wanted to say that it was because of Luke that she had so much hostility towards Xi Er.

But the words came to her lips, but she couldn't say them. After all, her relationship with Luke, from the present point of view, they are not even ordinary friends.

Axe suddenly looked lonely, nervous, and worried. She looked at Luke tenderly and said, "Luke... you... you have to take care of yourself."

After saying that, Axe turned and left, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

At this time, Ye Cang looked at Xi Er. Although there was no verbal communication, Xi Er felt from Ye Cang's eyes that he was telling her that he was going to settle things with the mercenary Quan Ya for his close friend Luke.

Xi Er stared at Ye Cang affectionately and nodded slightly to him.

"Okay... I'll leave it to you."

Then, Xi Er walked up to Luke, grabbed him, and pulled him aside, "You stand here and rest. When Ye Cang finishes, we can go home."

Luke didn't refute or say anything.

Although this ordinary slash was not a big problem, Axe's Wu Lei was not an ordinary exclusive weapon.

This weapon, which resembles a Tang horizontal knife, came from the Asura Nebula, the most brave and warlike in the entire universe.

If it were a Phantasmal Beast with a B+ combat power level, after Axe's ordinary slash, the Phantasmal Beast would have already been separated from its body.

At this moment, Luke's wound began to ache slightly, his face was pale, and he collapsed weakly on the ground.

Seeing this, Xi Er immediately bandaged Luke.

"Luke, don't move, your wound is gradually tearing. If it can't be treated in time, you will definitely be torn into two pieces by this seemingly ordinary wound."

"I didn't expect that this knife seems ordinary, but it actually hides a mystery!"

In the dim building in the distance, Axe was quietly watching Luke.

She saw Xi Er helping Luke bandage his wound.

Suddenly, a trace of sadness flashed through her heart.

The clouds see paleness, the fallen leaves are full of sorrow, between the curved eyebrows, on the moon of the heart, it seems to usher in the bleakness of wind and frost.

Axe thought, "Could it be... could it be that she really is Luke's..."

Thinking of this, Axe shook her head vigorously to deny the flustered thoughts in her heart.

Axe thought, "I'll wait until I confirm it myself before making a decision. I can't just affirm the relationship between Luke and her just because of the mutual assistance between companions."

After making up her mind, Axe turned and headed towards her mercenary base.
