The Seventh Base-Chapter 613 - 47: Counterkill

Chapter 613 -47: Counterkill

Ize and Carter’s hearts were complex; they felt thoroughly swindled by Xu Mo.

As Elizabeth’s attention on Xu Mo grew, if she found out the truth in the future, would she not feel like a fool?

She was the only one kept in the dark!

If they could, Ize and Carter would rather not have known it was Xu Mo, although he never mentioned it himself, it wasn’t hard to guess.

Now, other than continuing to play dumb, there was no other way; if the truth came out in the future, they could only claim ignorance and could never admit to it even if it killed them.

Moreover, they needed to persuade Xu Mo that it might be time to come clean. Continuing like this was not a solution; the longer the deception went on, the less controllable the situation would become, and Elizabeth would think that they were playing her.

“I heard that Gasor was already incredibly powerful before graduation, and now his Source Power Level is likely nearing S-rank. He has won many honors during his time at school and possesses a top-notch Mechanical Body from Lancelot Star; his Combat Power is unquestionably strong,” Carter said.

Carter spoke, “The Mr. Hunter brought in by Blue Star Energy Technology Group, I wonder what his identity is. His combat strength is too formidable, such Mechanical Talent, one in a thousand, and probably a rare existence even at Lucas University. Mr. Ross, how did you manage to invite someone so admirable?”

Ize, hearing Carter speak so earnestly, immediately realized the bastard was pretending to be clueless, preparing his excuses for later.

“Yes, Mr. Ross, where did you find such a talented individual?” Ize also asked, concerning the fact that Hunter was Xu Mo, no one had openly shared that with them.

This was great!!

They knew nothing about it.

Ross: “……”

At that moment, a stampede of ten thousand horses raced through his heart, thinking, are you two playing dumb to sell me out???

He was the one expected to carry the blame!

Ize and Carter might afford to play dumb, but as the person in charge, and one who also held Xu Mo’s shares, how could he be unaware? He was definitely stuck with this blame.

He wanted to burst their bubble directly, but he dared not; the Great Demon King was not to be provoked, nor could he provoke Ize and Carter! They were nobles and in cahoots with the Great Demon King; Ross felt as if he had fallen into a huge pit with no way to climb out.

Sure enough, Elizabeth’s gaze turned to Ross beside her, causing him an inner twitch, despicable, shameless!

“Can Mr. Hunter truly break through the besieging forces by himself?” Ross pretended he heard nothing and saw nothing of Elizabeth looking at him and kept his gaze fixed on the Arena, seeming extremely focused.

What else could he do at this time other than play dead?

Elizabeth, a smart woman, knew Ross didn’t want to reveal anything probably due to unspeakable reasons. Since that was the case, she wouldn’t press him. Despite her curiosity, she held back for the time being, knowing the truth would emerge sooner or later.

Ross breathed a sigh of relief and continued watching the battle with Elizabeth and the others.

In the battlefield, after Xu Mo slashed Gasor, he instantly shifted direction, continuing his hasty retreat. The pursuing team was still massive and relentless, but now their hearts were also perturbed.

Xu Mo had made a direct attack in the Mechanical Army led by Gasor, cleaving open Gasor’s Mechanical Body. Now Gasor had plummeted, if not dead, then severely wounded. With such frightening Combat Power, who dared to be careless?

Even, some had started to think about retreating.

Furthermore, during the brief moment when Xu Mo had routed Gasor, although the Mecha also took hits, it was only the external casing that was damaged, which did not affect the Mecha’s performance, meaning Xu Mo’s Combat Power was not compromised; he was still at the peak of his condition.

“Boom, boom…”

In the distance, the fleeing Ghost Mecha opened fire, a barrage of Particle Beams hitting several figures. The Armor on those people exploded instantly; the Particle Beams contained high-energy shock waves that, upon impact, generated an immense energy capable of destroying Armor defenses.

This caused some to stop their pursuit, watching the Ghost Mecha moving rapidly across the Arena. If they continued, no one knew if they would be the next ones hit.

They saw Xu Mo suddenly reversing his Mecha, flying backwards, and at the same time, his arms shot forward, targeting the Mecha closest to him. While moving at high velocity, both mechanical arms locked onto one person and opened fire.

“Buzz…”

In an instant, dozens of beams erupted, bombarding that Mecha. The Mecha desperately dodged, but Xu Mo’s Mecha never stopped attacking, continuously firing.

Pulse after pulse of the Particle Beams struck the Mecha; its casing burst apart. The Particle Beams didn’t cease, another series of beams descended, piercing directly through the Mecha, exploding inside.

“Boom…”

The Mecha was destroyed, blood sprayed in the air, and screams echoed from within, disturbing many.

Xu Mo had gone for the kill.

While fleeing, he had destroyed many Mechanical Bodies, effectively serving as a warning. Yet, these people relentlessly pursued him; if they truly wished to annihilate him, then they naturally had to pay a price.

Clearly, Xu Mo was also not pleased.

Earlier, Xu Mo had merely deflected fire causing some to be eradicated, but now, Xu Mo was actively taking lives.

Sure enough, this action had an immediate effect, as many stopped in their tracks, halting their advance, too frightened to pursue further.

Those who had joined in the fray, yearning to blast Xu Mo out, were instantly filled with intense unease. They realized they could no longer continue the chase.

“Boom…” Another terrifying explosion occurred, someone else was pierced through.
