The Seventh Base

Chapter 550: Chapter 18 Too Difficult_2

Zero turned around, standing on the steps, looking outside, so that no matter where Xu Mo was, she could see him.

However, after waiting for a while, she still had not seen Xu Mo come out.

Zero felt something was strange.

Could it be that he knew she was here?

Turning around, Zero looked at the guard in front of her and asked, “Have you seen Xu Mo?”

Xu Mo: “……”

“It seems like you don’t recognize Xu Mo,” Zero murmured softly, “The good-looking one.”

Xu Mo was somewhat moved!

He shook his head, moved.

The demoness still had good taste.

“About the same height as you,” Zero continued.

The guard’s gaze remained fixed forward, then he shook his head again, like a statue.

Zero was somewhat disappointed and could only continue to wait.

Elsewhere, the battle raged on, with many engaging in sparring matches, winning and losing in turn. However, Sal came prepared. The people accompanying him were extremely strong, winning more than losing, and suppressing the noble young masters from Elizabeth’s side.

Especially at this moment, a crew-cut young man entered the fray. He was tall and sturdy, with formidable combat power. After battling several people, he had been overpoweringly dominant. Many knew him as someone from the Sasi Kingdom, a subordinate of Sal. He had made a name for himself in this year’s freshman tournament, ranking within the top few, scarcely challenged by others.

Only if Elizabeth intervened personally could she prevail, but by doing so, she would be lowering her own status.

“Bang, bang…” Two more were defeated in succession, and Ize was repelled. For a moment, no one dared to step forward.

The battlefield suddenly fell quiet, with Elizabeth’s face growing cold.

“Whoever can defeat him, I will reward them handsomely,” Elizabeth declared. But the people around fell silent. Losing wasn’t a situation to be proud of, and the opponent was just one of Sal’s servants.

Yet, this servant’s combat power was extraordinarily formidable.

Meanwhile, Zero had waited for quite a long time and still hadn’t seen Xu Mo appear.

Thinking this, Zero picked up the communicator, wondering if that guy would answer.

The moment she picked up the communicator, Xu Mo, standing by the side, felt a chill run through his entire body.

This…

Zero had already started dialing Xu Mo’s number.

“I’ll go!” Xu Mo’s deep voice called out. He then took several steps down the stairs toward the battlefield, striding past Zero with heavy, impactful steps sounding as though they contained great power.

Zero glanced at the guard, and at the communicator, hearing no sound. Of course, no one had answered.

She glanced inside again, thinking that entering someone else’s home seemed a bit rude.

Zero felt a bit of a headache coming on.

Elizabeth was very upset, extremely upset. No one from her side dared to step up; a mere servant had repelled her own entourage, and where did that leave her pride?

Moreover, no one dared to fight.

But just at that moment, an invigorating voice echoed, stirring a ripple in Elizabeth’s heart. Did someone dare to fight?

She turned her head and saw a guard approaching. She addressed him, “Warrior of the Lucas Star Royal Family, regardless of the outcome, I, Elizabeth, will remember your bravery.”

Xu Mo, as if he had not heard her at all, continued forward. His communicator was still vibrating in his possession.

He was thinking about how to lose—how could he lose… Should he fall due to force, or should he lie down of his own accord?

Winning was out of the question.

Xu Mo had a headache.

Why had he come?

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Xu Mo stepped onto the battlefield. Across from him, Sal saw that a guard had come to fight and couldn’t help but reveal a cold gleam, whispering, “Sak, make sure to experience the strength of a Lucas Star warrior. Don’t hold back at all.”

If it was just a student—just a guard…

Then there would be no mercy!

“Yes,” Sak nodded. He surged forward, his energy erupting wildly. In his hand, he held a massive War Axe, with potent Energy Light flowing atop it.

Sak’s body soared into the air, slashing downward from above. The War Axe gleamed terrifyingly, as if it split the space in two.

“I…” Xu Mo had intended to take a hit and then withdraw from the battlefield, but was Sak’s attack aimed at taking a life?

At that moment, in his hands, he held the guard’s equipment — not a knife, but a Long Spear.

“Boom…” With a slight shift of his body, Xu Mo dodged the attack. Sak’s War Axe crashed down with ferocity, striking the ground and emitting a violent sound that seemed to crack the floor.

Xu Mo, with his Long Spear in hand, moved backward, his spear scraping against the ground as he retreated.

Sak’s massive War Axe swept out horizontally, aiming for Xu Mo’s head. Xu Mo leaned back, stepping forward and using the force to glide back.

“Hm?”

Sak’s two ferocious attacks had missed. A wild aura emanated from him as, with a loud bang, he charged again, his War Axe hacking down repeatedly. Streaks of axe light flashed as Xu Mo continuously dodged to the left and right.

His Battle Armor was not top-tier; if he was hit, it would undoubtedly be cleaved in two by the axe. Sak’s offensive was extremely tyrannical and feral—he dared not let the axe strike him!

So, as Sak relentlessly pursued him with his axe, Xu Mo kept dodging, the Long Spear constantly scraping the ground with a grating noise, but he never struck back.

“Counterattack!”

The surrounding crowd grew anxious. Was he only going to dodge and not dare to counter?

Elizabeth’s brows furrowed as well; the Hero she spoke of was continuously avoiding battle.

But, his reaction speed was indeed fast.

Could this be his tactic?

However, Elizabeth realized that Xu Mo had no tactics—he was still dodging.

“Why does this look familiar?” Ize and Carter shared a puzzled look as they watched Xu Mo’s evasive maneuvers.

They turned around and saw a silver-haired woman walking towards the battlefield.

It was Zero.

She also looked familiar!

Zero entered the crowd and stood at the very front of the battlefield.

Xu Mo nearly cried when he saw Zero approaching!

This was too difficult.

The more Zero watched, the more incorrect it seemed. Remembering the scene when she had called him to battle with her Communicator, Zero’s beautiful eyes glared at the guard as she stepped forward and said, “Stop.”

“I…” Xu Mo immediately retreated when he saw Zero approaching.

The one wielding the War Axe paused when he saw Zero come closer, then he noticed Zero draw her sword and rush towards Xu Mo.

“You’re out of line!” Elizabeth exclaimed in annoyance as Zero dashed onto the battlefield, with two people directly charging at Zero from behind her.

“Buzz…” Zero struck out with her sword.

Boom!

The two people were cleaved away, flung into the crowd.

Elizabeth was stunned.

This was outrageous, utterly preposterous!

She had actually come to stir up trouble too.

Sal sneered at this scene, it seemed that the Noble Young Masters of Lucas Star were no big deal after all.

“I’m not fighting anymore.” Xu Mo turned and ran.

“You think you can run.” Sak charged at Xu Mo, leaping through the air, with his War Axe aimed at Xu Mo.

Zero also charged towards Xu Mo. Seeing Sak making a move against Xu Mo, she was surrounded by a wild Energy Aura. Her body blocked in front of Xu Mo, and as she saw Sak’s axe descending, her sword slashed out.

“What’s this got to do with you!”

Boom!

There was a massive explosion. Amidst the shocked gazes of the onlookers, Sak was sent flying away.

Elizabeth: “……”

Sal: “……”

The people around were also dumbfounded. Were they fighting on both sides now?

They looked at the guard, only to see him already taking the opportunity to slip away.

Zero, sword in hand, chased after him, leaving a crowd disheveled in the wind.

Could someone tell them what had just happened?

“Xu Mo!!!” Elizabeth gnashed her teeth, at this moment, how could she not guess who that guard was!
