Chapter 62: Chapter 57: Killing Field
“What’s going on?” Many in the stands didn’t understand.
A bloodshed at the start?
And the method was extremely cruel, directly beheading the opponent.
The other contestants were also stunned for a moment, clearly surprised, but soon they returned to normal.
Every year, there were killings at the Diamond Competition.
Anyone who could make it to this level was not ordinary, at least at the level of Caesar.
“Sister Butterfly, is it always this bloody?” Xiao Qi, witnessing this for the first time, was shocked. Xu Mo hadn’t participated in many competitions, and there had been no such slaughter before.
Ye Qingdie also looked towards the battlefield, only to see the ax-wielder charging towards another person, a woman who was a gun master defeated by Poison Dragon previously, but she had also slowly accumulated Diamond points.
“Boom, boom, boom…” She fired continuously at the opponent’s battle armor, but to no avail, the shots didn’t even shake their body, completely ignoring the attacks and charging wildly towards her.
“I quit.” The woman turned to flee, in visible panic.
“Puff!”
The opponent, like a monster, chased her down and swung the ax. A head flew high into the air, and many closed their eyes, the scene far too cruel.
Xu Mo also looked in that direction, the opponent was at the other end of the arena, very far from him.
It was also his first time witnessing slaughter in the arena.
Moreover, the opponent clearly came for slaughter, probably not sparing anyone.
Those who had gotten Diamond competition tickets were even stronger than Cobra, some were possibly at the level of Secretary Jin, but a slaughtering monster had emerged.
His perception spread towards the opponent, only to feel the opponent’s breathing heavy, seemingly a bit off.
Among the arena crowd, Mia was there too; seeing what was happening, she looked worriedly in Xu Mo’s direction.
Xu Mo will be alright, won’t he?
“Let’s join forces and kill him,” someone proposed, because the opponent’s arrival made everyone stop fighting and discuss eliminating him first.
Otherwise, having such a monster would be a threat to everyone.
“Alright, let’s join forces and kill him.” People in the arena crowded towards the monster, Diamond-level players, no one was thinking of simply giving up and leaving, at least not now.
“Get him.”
A group charged to surround and attack the opponent, silver chains flying through the air, someone had made a move.
The chains were long, directly coiling towards the slaughterer.
The opponent stretched out his left hand and actually caught two of the chains, letting other chains bind his body, then he pulled forcefully, the user of the chains felt a terrifying power and was directly pulled towards him.
“Quick, attack!” he shouted aloud.
Some struck the opponent’s head, others slashed at his legs, five or six people attacked simultaneously.
“Boom…” Dull sounds were heard as a giant cyborg’s fist landed on the opponent’s head, merely causing the opponent to lower his head a bit. The blades that struck his waist and legs did not shake him either.
Only making his body tremble slightly.
“Save me!” the user of the chains shouted as he was pulled in front of the opponent. The ax swung down, a body split apart, blood splattered everywhere.
Even splashing on the slaughterer’s armor.
The slaughterer’s breathing was heavy, he grabbed the mechanical arm on his shoulder, the cyborg clad in heavy armor tried to pull away, but felt the opponent’s immense strength.
With a fierce turn, the slaughterer’s ax swung down directly, sparks flying, the machinery was cut and shattered, his head severed.
Another dead.
Joining forces seemed futile.
This person was like a killing machine.
The others who had attacked wanted to retreat, but then saw the opponent stomp on the ground, making the arena tremble, his ax continuously striking down, more were directly slain.
The bloody scene left some in the arena silent, others roaring.
It was thought this Diamond competition would be a battle among powerhouses, yet no one expected it to become a slaughter.
Who is this contestant?
In the previous Gold competition, his presence had gone unnoticed.
At the top floor suite of the Arena, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, a middle-aged figure sat quietly in a chair, having a good view of the entire arena.
Swirling his drink in his hand, the middle-aged seemed quite pleased with the performance on the ground.
Behind him stood a fat man, his face showing a distressed expression, his heart bleeding.
“Sir, do you really plan to kill them all? These Diamond players are quite valuable, and some of them have statuses in the city-states,” the fat man said aggrievedly, but he dared not complain further.
The middle-aged was unbothered.
Status?
Mere ants of the Underworld, talking about status.
All must give way to the experiment; that is the purpose of the Underworld’s existence!
……
In the arena, there were many headless corpses, blood everywhere.
Ten people had already been slain.
But not everyone had stepped forward earlier, some who had urged others to advance had themselves already retreated to the exit, ready to run.
As long as enough people died, they would directly make it into the top ten.
No matter what, to secure the prize money first.
In the Diamond competition, even the tenth place had a prize of twenty thousand Federation coins, heavy rewards bring out the brave.
Xu Mo watched those people, who hadn’t even fled yet; they were waiting, waiting for others to be eliminated first.
This was a twisted competition.
“Be careful.” Mia suddenly shouted from the stands, but her voice was drowned out by the noisy crowd.
There were too many people, her voice was insignificant.
Someone behind Xu Mo suddenly struck him, unable to deal with the Slaughterer, they first aimed to eliminate the other people in the arena.
A sharp mechanical arm extended outward, drilling towards Xu Mo’s neck like a drill.
If it hit, Xu Mo’s neck would be pierced, a certain death.
But Xu Mo, as if having eyes in the back of his head, directly moved sideways to dodge, the drill attack missing his neck and then sweeping to the right, attempting to decapitate him.
However, Xu Mo reached out his hand and grabbed the assailant’s arm, rendering the attack immobile.
The piercing sound of the mechanical drill was loud, but the arm was firmly grasped by Xu Mo, and despite the struggler’s efforts, it couldn’t move.
“It’s an Armored!”
Many in the stands recognized Xu Mo, who had previously remained inconspicuous in the Black Iron and Silver level competitions, but his three wins in the Gold level competitions had made a name for him.
Many people knew him.
“Almost got killed by a sneak attack, that person is ruthless, aiming a deadly blow at the Armored,” someone in the stands discussed, everyone’s attention had previously been on the Slaughterer, contemplating allying against him.
Who could have imagined that these contestants were all harboring their own devious plans? If the Armored had been even slightly careless, he might have already had his neck pierced.
“Bastard.” Xiao Qi also cursed from the stands, very angry.
Ye Qingdie frowned, but taking on Xu Mo like this was a death wish.
Xu Mo, in front of them, was sunny and amiable, without a temper.
But he abhorred evil and was never merciful to enemies.
This way, he had fought his way through.
Assassinate Xu Mo?
Xu Mo used his arm to fling his opponent forward, his right hand slightly raised, the War Saber lifted.
Dare not strike at the Slaughterer, but dare to strike at him?
The man turned to stare at Xu Mo, then saw Xu Mo charging forward swiftly.
The mechanical arm raised, the mechanical drill thrusting directly at Xu Mo, emitting a sharp and piercing noise.
Xu Mo dodged sideways, the War Saber cutting through the air, smooth and seamless.
“Puff!”
The saber broke armor, slashing the throat.
The opponent trembled, blood gushing incessantly from his neck, he looked down with fear in his eyes, then collapsed.
One cut!
Xu Mo did not look back at the fallen body, the people he had killed might not be fewer than the Slaughterer himself.
“The Armored is so strong.” A wave of exclamations came from the stands.
Previously in the Gold level arena, Xu Mo won three battles.
Now in the Diamond Arena, while no one expected him to be so dominant, he quickly broke armor and killed his enemy.
Besides, after killing, Xu Mo did not run to the edges like the others but stood his ground there.
Xu Mo was the only contestant besides the Slaughterer who dared to stand in the middle of the Arena.
Xu Mo saw the Slaughterer’s gaze fixed on him, his eyes wild like a beast’s, filled with a bloodthirsty and murderous aura, this man did not seem normal but more like a trained killing machine.
“Genetic Warrior!”
Xu Mo had a suspicion in his mind.
What did the appearance of a Genetic Warrior in the Arena imply?
The Underworld owned many gene experimental factories, possibly for experimenting with Genetic Evolution Liquid to cultivate Genetic Warriors.
Thus, it seemed most Genetic Warriors were likely cultivated by ‘important figures.’
So, did the appearance of Genetic Warriors mean the Arena itself was also a game for ‘the powerful ones’?
They were the prey.
Even so, Xu Mo would no longer be surprised.
Now he had two choices.
Leave, give up this battle, admit defeat and leave the Arena.
Or, kill!
The blood-stained Slaughterer was already approaching Xu Mo, with countless eyes from the stands fixed on him.
They seemed also to be waiting for Xu Mo to make his decision.
Would it be to flee?
Or to fight!
This man of slaughter was surely aiming to enter the Star Competition, the caliber of such an opponent was terrifying, even if the Armored chose to avoid his sharpness, it would not be undeserved.
After all, losing in this battle meant death, too risky.
“Go.” Mia watched Xu Mo’s side, her heartbeat quickened, equally nervous, as the oppressive aura of the Slaughterer was too strong, having killed many.
She did not want Xu Mo to take risks.
Ye Qingdie and Xiao Qi also stared at Xu Mo, what would he choose?
Whatever choice Xu Mo made, Ye Qingdie believed he could achieve it.
Under numerous watchful eyes, Xu Mo’s arm moved.
The War Saber rose!
