Chapter 40

Several decades ago, Three had been placed by his empire as a spy in the Indigo Empire.

When he had been placed in the Indigo Empire, he had received 2 orders. 1 was to gather intelligence for the Colt Empire, and the other was to recruit all sorts of geniuses for his empire.

Over the years, he had indeed accomplished a lot. In terms of intelligence alone, he had made a great contribution to his empire, especially in terms of talent.

He heard that an all-rounded genetic warrior had appeared in the Iron City of the Indigo Empire.

When Three heard the news, he immediately sent it back to the Colt Empire and informed them of everything.

Following that, he received 2 new orders. The first order for him to recruit Emerson Cole. They were even willing to pay a heavy price to make such a genius work for the Colt Empire.

The second order was for him to kill Emerson Cole if he refused to join them. He definitely could not allow Emerson to become stronger. They did not want him to become an opponent for the Colt Empire in the future.

Three would obey their orders.

In order to obtain Emerson and make him work for the Colt Empire, Three had collected all the information about Emerson.

From Emerson’s birth to his current status as an all-rounded genetic warrior. Three had almost all the information about him.

In order to subdue such a genius, he had disguised himself as a tier 7 genetic warrior, working for Viscount Rory.

His goal was to find out Emerson’s whereabouts and get close to him, allowing him to be used by the Colt Empire.

Three had found him in the dark forest, but it was a pity that he could not be used by the Colt Empire.

Hence, Three could only carry out the second order and kill Emerson.

Emerson was shocked. He had never expected that his earlier attack would actually be on par with Three.

He knew that he appeared to be a tier 7 genetic warrior. However, his true strength was already infinitely close to that of a tier 6 genetic warrior.

That was why he was shocked when he saw his strength was only on par with his opponent.

“Not bad at all. You’re a tier 7 or even a tier 6 genetic warrior.”

When Emerson heard Three describe his strength, he did not show any expression of shock. Instead, he spoke with an expressionless face.

“Haha…”

Three did not respond to Emerson’s words. Instead, he sneered and took out 2 machetes from his waist.

Three was emitting an powerful aura when he was holding the 2 machetes in his hands

He was like a deadly assassin under the night sky, giving off a feeling of extreme fear.

Three raised his hand and slashed at the air twice.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

“As an all-rounded genetic warrior, you have the qualifications to be worthy of me using my weapon.”

“Next, let me see what you’re made of. If you don’t fight me with everything you have, you will die by my hands.”

With that, Three rushed forward. He swung his machetes as he slashed at Emerson’s waist.

Faced with three’s attack, Emerson Cole did not take it head-on. Instead, he chose to retreat.

Three had a weapon in his hands, but Emerson was unarmed. Hence, he would naturally be at a disadvantage in a fight.

With that, Emerson could only use the soul weapon that he had snatched from Chris long ago – Long knife.

With the long knife in hand, Emerson gave off a murderous feeling. The aura he emitted was not any weaker than Three.

“Tier 8 soul weapon.”

Three saw that Emerson had a tier 8 soul weapon in his hand as he mocked.

Once again, Three charged forward, not intending to delay any longer.

Emerson saw that Three was charging at him again. Thus, he growled as he raised the long knife in his hand. He was about to hit Three.

When Three saw Emerson slashing toward him, he raised the machete in his left hand to block Emerson’s long knife.

Three took advantage of the situation and slid down. His feet lightly tapped on the ground and he jumped up. The machete in his right hand backhandedly slashed toward Emerson’s back.

“Watch your back.”

Tifa, who was not far away, could not help but exclaim when she saw that scene.

When Emerson heard Tifa’s reminder, he also felt a chill coming from his back. Therefore, he quickly turned around and raised his long knife to slash at Three as well, intending to exchange injuries with him.

When Three saw that Emerson wanted to exchange injuries with him, he actually wanted something like that to happen.

In his opinion, killing Emerson and causing him to suffer a little injury was an insult to him, even if his opponent was an all-rounded genetic warrior.

Clang!

The long knife and machete hit, and the sounds of weapons clashing could be heard.

The 2 of them took a few steps back before clashing again.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Another series of sounds of weapons clashing could be heard.

Only when the weapons in their hands started to crack did they retreat.

At that moment, Three was panting. He looked at Emerson and said, “I didn’t expect you to be this strong. You’re actually about to reach the strength of a tier 6 genetic warrior.”

Three had thought that he had suppressed his strength to the level of a tier 6 genetic warrior. Against a tier 9 genetic warrior who had just finished the tests, it would be a piece of cake.

However, after exchanging blows, Three discovered that Emerson’s strength had far exceeded his imagination. He was not just a tier 7 genetic warrior, but was infinitely close to a tier 6 genetic warrior.

From the looks of it, with Three’s current strength, it would be somewhat difficult for him to kill Emerson.

“Looks like I have to be more serious. Otherwise, if I let this fellow live and become a huge threat to the Colt Empire, I’ll become a sinner of the Colt Empire.”

Three muttered to himself. Following that, the aura on his body changed once again. A berserk aura gushed out from his body. The berserk aura he emitted instantly swept out in all directions.

Meanwhile, the huge trees on both sides of Three were swept down by the aura that he emitted.

Boom!

Several large trees collapsed with a loud bang. The ground trembled a few times from the impact.

Meanwhile, Emerson, who was standing opposite of Three, was also forced back a few steps by the aura that he emitted.

At the same time, Emerson’s gaze became even more solemn as he looked at Three.

He did not expect Three to be that strong. He was actually suppressing his strength when they fought a moment ago.

‘It seems that he’s not as simple as he looks!’

Emerson thought to himself.

From the aura that he was emitting, Emerson felt that Three’s strength was at least above a tier 6 genetic warrior.

Thinking of that, Emerson could not help but glance at Tifa behind him.

When Emerson had fought with Tifa back then, he had felt that she was not simple either.

However, judging from Tifa’s current situation, it was obvious that she could not help him. He could only deal with Three by himself.

“I can only fight with my life now. Otherwise, both of us will die here.”

Emerson took a deep breath. He held the long knife tightly as he looked at Three again.
