Chapter 80: Chapter 75 Xu Mo’s Knife
The Arena had quieted down significantly, all stunned by the arrival of the Armored.
Tinas had previously been extremely powerful, but she faced a brutal slaughter at the hands of the Armored.
In the area where the dignitaries were sitting, Doctor and the others’ complexions had also changed.
Already, two young men from the companies had died in the Underworld.
Now, Tinas was being brutally slaughtered on the spot.
This wanted criminal, he had grown stronger again.
Now, they were caught between a rock and a hard place.
Should they let Lindi and the others take care of him, or should they directly send the Mecha into the Arena?
“Tell them, whoever kills the intruder can go to the world above,” Councilman Yimu spoke.
The person in charge of the Arena left.
The others essentially agreed with the Councilman’s decision.
In the Arena, Lindi and his people moved towards Xu Mo.
They showed up in different positions, surrounding Xu Mo.
Xu Mo wasn’t in a hurry, since those important figures hadn’t made a move, there was no need to rush.
“Kill the invader and you will receive additional rewards, as well as the qualifications to go to the world above,” a voice echoed throughout the Arena, heard by everyone.
In the Arena, competitors of the Star Competition were also tempted.
The arrival of the Armored had disrupted their battlefield.
The entire battlefield suddenly came to a halt.
The Armored was strong, but they were many.
Kill him, and they could directly win favor from the important figures, going to the world above.
The participants of the Arena competition began to converge in Xu Mo’s direction.
Seeing the scene before him, Xu Mo felt somewhat sad.
Indeed, just as Master Batu said, they were a bunch of pitiable insects, insects that couldn’t be awakened.
As the entire Arena’s competitors closed in on the Armored, the Arena grew quieter, the clamor gradually extinguished, and they began to hear noises coming from outside the Arena.
“What’s happening outside?” many looked towards the outside of the Arena, as if there were sounds of gunfire and shouting.
Did the crowd outside also want to burst in?
In the Arena, as the crowd closed in on Xu Mo, someone spoke up, “Shall we do it together?”
Clearly, they dared not go at it alone.
The Armored was very strong.
The parasite hesitated a bit, staring at Xu Mo’s figure, feeling that today’s events were somewhat unusual.
Allen also sensed that something was off.
If the Armored wanted to participate in the Star Competition, why hadn’t he fought his way up in the Diamond matches before?
Why enter the Arena in such a fashion?
His coming seemed to be aimed at those special invitees, the strong figures from the world above.
The Armored had a vendetta against them.
“Do it.” Several people gradually stepped forward.
Lindi and his group didn’t make a move, but it was the competitors from the Underworld who stepped out first, wanting to kill Xu Mo.
Xu Mo felt the irony as he walked forward, holding the War Saber at an angle.
He started to run forward with increasing speed.
Two figures, one on the left and one on the right, rushed towards him at a fast pace.
One person, clad in Battle Armor holding a hook, swung it directly at Xu Mo, while another, a mechanically augmented body, slid towards Xu Mo at high speed. His legs, like a Mecha’s, expelled energy, sliding towards Xu Mo at a terrifying speed, swinging a blue energy light-emitting blade in his hands.
The explosive scene made the audience’s hearts leap.
Xu Mo struck with his saber.
His blade, bearing the light of Lightning and the force of Thunder, was swung out, as though he had precisely calculated the trajectory.
“Crack…” The blue Energy Battle Blade was flung into the air, and the mechanical body shattered, cleaved in half at the waist.
One man dead.
The War Saber continued rightward, and as the hook came at him, Xu Mo slightly tilted his head, dodging perfectly.
As they were about to brush past each other, Xu Mo’s War Saber swept towards the right.
“Puchi!”
A head flew up, and blood spurted out.
Both were instantly cut down.
Two contestants from the Star Competition, unable to withstand a single blow.
“The Armored is so strong.”
The hearts of those in the Arena were pounding.
Xu Mo’s dominance had stunned everyone.
One man entered the Arena, first beheading Tinas.
Then killed two more competitors.
Treating the Arena as if it were uninhabited.
The surrounding strong figures were also deterred.
Xu Mo, alone with a sword, made them dare not move recklessly.
“It seems that the Armored is a city-state’s wanted criminal.”
“Yes, I saw his saber that day, it’s him.”
The voices gradually came out from the Arena stands, these words spreading around, and the crowd began to discuss.
The Armored.
The wanted criminal.
Was he the thug who killed a Councilman and stormed the Law Enforcement Team?
Why did he come back to kill?
To burst into the Arena.
Was it for those VIPs?
Previously, Xu Mo and Master Batu had caused a considerable commotion on the streets and were encircled by the City State Guard and the Law Enforcement Team.
In the Arena, it seemed there were also participants involved in the pursuit.
Had he come for revenge?
Among the crowd, there were two women whose gazes had not left Xu Mo since he entered, their eyes slightly moist.
Xu Mo had come too?
Xu Mo was unaware they were there.
He was here to kill.
To kill and then to leave.
After executing two, he continued running towards a direction.
Those who had surrounded him scattered, no longer daring to block his way.
The Arena was vast, and even though many were closing in, they still maintained a distance.
Xu Mo’s speed was increasing.
Lindi looked towards a certain direction with a slight change in expression, and said, “Keith, Ai Xue, be careful.”
The direction Xu Mo was running towards was precisely where Keith and Ai Xue were located.
They had just teamed up to kill Siba not long ago.
However, Xu Mo wasn’t seeking revenge for Siba.
He had been observing the battlefield and among that group of people, besides Tinas whom he had just killed, Keith and Ai Xue’s strength was a bit weaker, comparable to Everson whom he had killed earlier.
Lindi and another person were relatively strong.
So, his target was Keith and Ai Xue.
Lindi and Zhu Wan were on two other directions, and among the seven people that came down from the company, they were the leaders.
But out of those seven people, three had already died.
If more were to die, they would probably face punishment from the company upon their return.
Those who had previously come to the Underworld had never encountered such a mishap.
“Stop him,” Lindi bellowed, as one of the competitors stepped forward to intercept, also a ‘special invitee’, the scion of a city state councilman, very powerful.
Seeing him take action, a councilman seated above tensed up; what was this kid mixing himself up in?
Although he was nervous, he didn’t dare say a word.
The two collided in an instant, Xu Mo swung his saber, still performing a single cleaving strike that didn’t slow his advance in the slightest.
“Damn it, kill him,” the councilman roared, his face turning pale.
The bigwigs began to stir, no longer calm.
“You all go down and prepare to capture,” the Doctor said to the people beside him.
The entire Arena was actually intimidated by one person.
And now the situation was getting even more out of control, Xu Mo’s power was causing the Arena to lose control.
He had become much stronger.
“Send the Mechas too,” Yimu spoke.
Immediately, many people moved through the crowd and headed down towards the Arena below.
The surrounding crowd became chaotic; the bigwigs were making a move?
They were going to deal with the Armored one.
On the Arena, Xu Mo became the absolute center of attention.
Star Competition contestants all stood in place, watching, no longer daring to move about carelessly.
Xu Mo ran towards a particular direction.
There, Keith and Ai Xue were waiting in readiness, one on the left, one on the right.
In two other directions, Lindi and Zhu Wan, one wielding dual sabers and the other a long spear, were also rushing towards Keith and Ai Xue’s location, trying to intercept Xu Mo.
“Move,” Keith and Ai Xue, both eyeing the approaching Xu Mo, took action.
The two ran towards Xu Mo; Ai Xue stepped on the ground and leaped into the air, her body enveloped in fiery red Battle Armor, her saber slashing out a dazzling red light as she hacked towards Xu Mo from above.
Keith’s Source Power Sword attacked from below.
The two of them coordinated their attacks perfectly, striking at Xu Mo simultaneously from above and below.
But, as they drew close, a powerful Energy Field slowed their movements significantly.
At the same time, a crackling sound filled the air as lightning coursed over Xu Mo’s body, infusing his saber.
At that moment, Xu Mo, clad in Battle Armor, was extremely dazzling. His body also leapt up, parallel to Ai Xue’s, slashing downward.
His saber directly broke through Ai Xue’s strike and hit her Battle Armor. A grating noise ensued, and the armor shattered, his blade striking her body.
Her body was sent flying and slammed heavily onto the ground.
After Xu Mo sent her flying, his war saber followed through, slashing down onto Keith’s Source Power Sword beneath.
“Bang!”
Keith’s body was instantly overpowered; his knees buckled, and the Source Power Sword fell from his hands to the ground.
Xu Mo’s body moved forward, his war saber striking out in rapid succession, fast as lightning.
Each strike broke through armor, with Keith’s battle armor flying off in pieces. Xu Mo’s saber pierced into his body, impaling him right through.
The war saber pushed Keith’s body backward, coming to a stop in front of Ai Xue.
Inside his helmet, Keith’s mouth was overflowing with blood, and his complexion was deathly pale.
Xu Mo pulled out his war saber and thrust it directly into the breach in Ai Xue’s armor, piercing into her body.
Ai Xue watched all of this with horror in her eyes, filled with some desperation.
Together the two of them, subjected to a brutal slaughter.
“Too strong!” The people in the arena were all shocked.
Clad in armor at the Star Arena, with a war saber in hand, still invincible.
Every strike lethal, killing off the offspring of two significant figures from Siba, viciously slaughtered by him.
Lindi and Zhu Wan rushed over, but their steps halted.
All they saw was Xu Mo removing Keith’s helmet, the war saber held to his throat.
With just a light touch, Keith would be a dead man.
“Let him go,” Lindi said to Xu Mo.
Xu Mo glanced at him.
What utter nonsense!
After coming this far, let him go?
Xu Mo turned to the contestants from the Star Competition, saying to Keith, “Tell them what it will mean to be chosen by the great figures.”
Xu Mo’s voice was loud, and the people in the arena turned to look this way, hearing his voice.
A tremble went through their hearts.
Being chosen by the great figures wasn’t that supposed to mean ascending to the world above?
What did Xu Mo’s words mean?
Keith knew he wasn’t going to live, with the war saber having pierced through him and blood continuously flowing from his wound and the corner of his mouth.
“You will die a miserable death,” Keith said icily.
“Tsk…” Xu Mo’s war saber sliced across his throat, blood trickling out bit by bit, and then he released his grip.
Keith’s hands went to his throat as his body fell.
“Keith.” Ai Xue next to him had gone pale, her body violently trembling, her eyes filled with terror.
Xu Mo lifted her up, facing the crowd and said, “You tell them!”
Ai Xue, looking at Keith’s convulsing body, was scared to tears.
Despair, helplessness.
The tens of thousands in the audience of the arena felt their hearts tremble.
This scene was so similar to their slaughter at Siba.
Under Xu Mo’s war saber, they were as insignificant as ants.
This ‘great figure’ from the world above must be feeling the despair now, too.
