The Seventh Base

Chapter 624: Chapter 52: Strong_2

The mecha he was piloting was specially developed by the company for his participation in this battle.

His body seemed to flatten out, transforming into something like a fighter jet, somewhat similar to the mecha transformations on Lancelot Star. As it shot through the air at high speed, beams of intense light fired toward Xu Mo.

“Buzz.”

Xu Mo charged towards his opponent as both of their hands opened fire. Their firepower exploded wildly in mid-air, and their bodies zoomed towards one another with terrifying speed, not showing any signs of stopping, hurtling directly at each other.

This was…

Many hearts trembled, and shouts filled the air. Was this going to be a battle decided in one strike?

Between the two, energy exploded wildly. The formidable firepower of the Netherworld Mecha didn’t seem to hold much of an advantage as the incessant shots fired by the opponent completely blocked the impact of the particle beams.

In an instant, the opponent’s mecha made contact with Xu Mo’s.

The flattened mechanical body turned into an indestructible blade. Energy light burst forth, and the mecha slashed directly at the Netherworld Mecha, with an extremely terrifying impact force.

“Bang.”

Xu Mo’s War Saber slashed down, colliding with the mecha and making a sharp, piercing noise. The mechanical body slammed into the Netherworld Mecha, sending it reeling backwards, sparking brilliantly at the point of impact.

“Boom…”

The opponent’s mechanical body continued firing and colliding with Xu Mo’s Netherworld Mecha, sending it flying away, damaging its outer shell. The two separated.

But the opponent didn’t pause for even a moment. Energy light sprayed out once more, and the mechanical body lunged forward again, turning into a streak of light as it rushed towards Xu Mo.

Xu Mo immediately drew the second Energy Battle Blade from the back of his Netherworld Mecha, slashing out with his left arm.

“Boom…” Another loud noise erupted as the opponent pressed Xu Mo’s mecha into retreat. But almost in the same instant, Xu Mo’s right-hand War Saber cleaved through the middle of the opponent’s mecha. A cracking sound rang out as the War Saber pierced into the internals of the mechanical body, which plummeted downwards into the empty space below.

Fighting desperately clearly wasn’t working.

Elsewhere, the battle continued.

“Bang, bang.”

A loud blast echoed, as a dazzling black mecha impaled an opponent.

In another direction, Sterling destroyed an opponent with a single shot.

In the blink of an eye, a few more had fallen, thinning the ranks even further.

Louis also defeated his opponent.

Soon, only five were left on the battlefield.

The five stood in different positions, with Xu Mo scanning the four others across from him.

Sterling of the Royal Knights, Louis from Lucas University, Alman representing Locke Mechanical Group, and Salem, the undefeated player from Mechanical God Arena.

Sterling was an elite among elites in the Royal Knights of Lucas Star, Louis was a top prodigy at Lucas University, Alman was nominally participating on behalf of the Locke Mechanical Group but was actually an elite of the Star Shining Knight Order, the foremost of the three great Knight Orders of Lancelot Star, and Salem was the unbeaten player from the Mechanical God Arena.

The remaining five could truly be called super mecha players.

Xu Mo, representing Blue Star Energy Technology Group, had a reputation and strength that were beyond doubt.

With only five left, how would the battle proceed?

If two battles were to break out, then one person could rest.

Xu Mo obviously couldn’t rest, for Alman had already approached him.

As a genius of the Star Shining Knight Order, the leading order among Lancelot Star’s three great knight orders, Alman would not have participated in this tournament if not for a special invitation, yet he did encounter several formidable individuals here.

Sterling from the Royal Knights of Lucas Star had also joined the fray. With that in mind, there was nothing much for him to consider.

He could have fought Xu Mo earlier, but he didn’t. Instead, he fought his way to the present moment, only approaching Xu Mo when just a few were left. That way, more people would surely witness their battle.

Now, only five contestants were left, and all eyes were on the battle here.

He would kill Xu Mo in front of everyone, avenging Gasor.

Gasor was a rare talent from Lancelot Star who had been doing very well on Lucas Star, but Xu Mo crippled him.

The Hunter would pay for everything that he had done.

Alman walked towards Xu Mo, while Sterling glanced at Louis and Salem and said, “You two fight it out.”

With that, he moved aside to watch, as if only the winner would be worthy to challenge him.

Sterling had fought fiercely all the way here, felling more opponents with his Golden Spear than anyone else. He had already proven his strength and now believed he no longer needed to engage; he just needed to wait and fight the strongest of the last four.

Whoever lasted to the end, he would deal with them.

Neither Louis nor Salem seemed resistant to Sterling’s arrogance; they moved towards each other, evidently acknowledging Sterling’s strength.

The top prodigy from Lucas University versus the unbeaten player from the Super God Arena.

The two upcoming duels hadn’t yet started, but the mere anticipation had set the crowd ablaze with excited cheers.

The ensuing battles were bound to be incredibly fierce.

Alman kept a low profile in this battle but displayed unparalleled combat power. The further it went, the clearer it became to everyone that this individual from the Locke Mechanical Group had come seeking revenge on Xu Mo.

Xu Mo glanced at Alman and raised his arm to fire.

The mechanical arm of Alman’s mechanical body extended, and instantly, the slender Mechanical Scimitars emitted a powerful purple energy light. Under the mechanical body’s operation, the slender blades rotated at high speeds, creating a circular purple energy screen in front of him which was sharp enough to seemingly sever the particle beams fired by Xu Mo.

“Boom…”

Alman’s mechanical body surged forward at terrifying speeds, blocking with its left arm and bearing the brunt of Xu Mo’s particle beam, reducing the beam’s potency with its high-speed rotation.

Alman’s left arm forged ahead as if to shred the oncoming Netherworld Mecha to pieces.

At that moment, the Netherworld Mecha dashed forward at high speed. Xu Mo had replaced both arms with War Sabers. Seeing the swiftly spinning Mechanical Body tearing towards him, the right arm of the Netherworld Mecha struck out like Lightning.

Crack, bang…

Intense sounds echoed as the Energy Battle Blade pierced straight into the middle, causing the spinning blades to halt, while Xu Mo’s left arm, wielding the War Saber, struck the mechanical body, instantly separating upon contact.

“Boom!”

The next instant, Xu Mo charged forward again, the Netherworld Mecha unleashing its top speed. His arms clutched the massive Energy Battle Blades, and with a thunderous rumble, violently fierce energy particles flowed along the blade, sparking with what looked like high-energy particle electricity.

The blade swung, a terrifying flash of sword light striking towards the mechanical body.

Alman’s blade cut through the air, transforming into a flash of lightning, resplendent and swift as thunder.

Another intense collision occurred, and Alman’s body was repelled. The Netherworld Mecha advanced again, the force of its Mecha striking as both hands wielding the sword came slashing down with no fancy maneuvers.

“Bang, bang, bang…” Amidst frenzied shouts, this was the first time the crowd witnessed the Netherworld Mecha relentlessly slashing with both arms wielding swords, demonstrating extraordinary speed.

Xu Mo pressured Alman, forcing him to continuously retreat. The mechanical body’s advantage was completely suppressed, unable to come into play, and cracks began to appear on the sword.

“Crack!”

Finally, another slash came down, and the Mechanical Blade broke. Xu Mo’s War Saber, unstoppable, struck down upon the mechanical body, cleaving Alman towards the abyss below.

Alman’s mechanical body plummeted desperately, but the Mecha gave him no chance, continuing its relentless downward assault.

The blade light still blazed, bursting across the skies of the Arena and capturing the eyes of the crowd. Accompanied by a loud roar, the mechanical body was cleaved in two, with brilliant particle light slicing it straight down the middle. As the mechanical body descended under the gaze of countless onlookers, Xu Mo’s right arm switched weapon modes and fired at the plummeting mechanical body.

A spiral of particle beams flew downwards, leaving everyone breathless.

“Boom!”

A deafening explosion marked the end of the battle!
