Chapter 378: Chapter 36: Behead Chapter 378: Chapter 36: Behead Robert’s body hovered in the air, continuing upward until he appeared above and to the side of Xu Mo.
Looking down at Xu Mo, a voice of disdain emanated from beneath his helmet, “Despicable race.”
The spectators in the stands could not hear this voice; only the three remaining contestants present could, and among them was Tanis from Titan Star, also an alien race.
Moreover, the people of Lancelot Star looked down on the Titan Clan as well, considering them barbarians.

Suddenly, four crescent blades appeared on Robert’s armor, as if he had six hands, the six sharp crescent blades twinkled with energy light, looking fierce and terrifying.
Those in the stands felt somewhat nervous seeing this scene; in previous battles, Robert had only used two blades, and he didn’t need to show his full strength to completely overpower his opponents.
Yet at this moment, he deployed six blades, even though he still firmly controlled the battle.
The blades were part of the mechanical body, the mechanical technology of Lancelot Star far exceeded Byron Star’s standards, and their core technology would never be shared with Byron Star.
Many people could not help but feel anxious for Xu Mo; although many disliked him, there were also many who supported him, especially when choosing between him and someone from Lancelot Star—they naturally chose Xu Mo.
But this battle seemed difficult for Xu Mo.
“Hum.”
Robert’s body suddenly plunged downward at a terrifying speed toward Xu Mo, who held his swords in both hands, his perceptiveness covering his surroundings, his expression extremely grave.
A sharp, sizzling sound was heard, and electric currents flickered.

Xu Mo suddenly swung his sword, click… The opponent’s mechanical blade struck, spinning rapidly as all six blades simultaneously slashed at Xu Mo.
Xu Mo swung his swords, leveraging the momentum to retreat explosively, yet still the sizzling sound continued.
When he stopped, Xu Mo looked down at his Battle Armor, which had been torn open by several slashes.
Just then, in an instant, the opponent had spun out numerous slashes like a spiral; if he had been a bit slower, his body might have been cut open.
Robert’s mechanical body reappeared high above, almost as if mocking.
He never doubted he would defeat Xu Mo; it was just like he had said in an interview outside, as long as Xu Mo didn’t surrender, he would be a dead man.
He was devising a way to kill with one blow, leaving no chance for Xu Mo to surrender, thus releasing four additional blades from his mechanical body; otherwise, the two blades in his hand would have been enough.
But Xu Mo’s reaction was indeed swift, or that last strike would have been enough to sever his body.
The spectators were tense as they watched the scene unfold below, their gaze fixed on Robert in the air, feeling as if a hunter was eyeing his prey.
He was the Hunter, Xu Mo, the prey.
And although the audience couldn’t see as clearly, they could still sense the danger of that last strike.
Robert seemed to harbor ill intentions.
The pride of Lancelot Star people was something even the populace had vaguely heard about.
This number two seed had injured quite a number of people before.
Ye Qingdie and Sun Xiaoxiao also wore anxious expressions, and even Xiao Qi was no longer as calm.
He could feel that this was the strongest opponent Xu Mo had faced so far, and moreover, an opponent with lethal intent.
How advanced was this alien’s protective skin?
When could he get a set like that?
On the battlefield, Xu Mo gripped his War Saber tightly, the Source Power Field covering it, forming a blade of light with the energy light.
“Hum.”
Robert’s body dove down again, and Xu Mo could sense the vibration of every blade on his armor.
As Robert descended, Xu Mo stepped forward actively, his swords slashing out, the blades splitting the air with a force greater than his previous sword technique.
The blades collided, emitting a sharp, piercing friction sound, and this time, Robert couldn’t continue his strike sequence; his motion was blocked.
But he watched as Robert’s body surged up again, shooting toward the space diagonally above, looked down at Xu Mo briefly, then plunged downward once more.
Xu Mo struck out with his swords.
In the battlefield, Robert’s mechanical body repetitively flew up and plummeted, charging at Xu Mo.
Xu Mo continuously adopted a defensive posture, but seeing him catch every one of Robert’s strikes was highly admirable; it required incredible reaction speed.
However, remaining passive like this, it seemed inevitable that Xu Mo would eventually be defeated; Robert was always searching for an opportunity, a chance for a lethal strike.
Xu Mo’s spiritual power was stretched to its limit.
If it had not been for Qiong’s teachings earlier that day, he probably couldn’t have held on.
But since that nighttime encounter, his strength had notably improved, and his sword technique had become stronger, allowing him to block Robert’s successive attacks.
He was well aware of both their strengths and weaknesses: Robert had strong attacks, high speed, rapid strikes, and unmatched maneuverability.
And he, Xu Mo, had strong perception and sharp reflexes, able to capture his opponent’s movements.
So, the only possibility for him to win was to seize an opportunity for a lethal strike.
Robert’s only potential weakness might be his defense, but the condition was finding such an opportunity.

Under such a passive defense, all his attention could only be focused on defending.
And moreover, Robert was not yet displaying his full strength; he realized that Robert, like him, was searching for an opportunity, not just to defeat him, but to find a chance to kill him, fearing that he might concede the fight.
