The Seventh Base

Chapter 55: The First Tragedy



Xu Mo looked at Pugins, it was evident that Pugins was very confident in his own strength, but he didn't quite believe in Xu Mo.

In the Mystic God Temple, there was only one person like Oxso, Xu Mo was not Oxso, yet he wanted to emulate Oxso, challenging Pugins in the Ten Temple Alliance as a response to Oxso defeating Augustus, was it possible?

Before Xu Mo could respond, Pugins drew the sword from his body, and instantly, golden lightning erupted from him, piercing the eyes, Pugins himself bathed in the golden brilliance, the strands of golden lightning seemed to hide an extremely terrifying destruction power.

He floated forward, extending his left hand, grasping towards Xu Mo, instantly countless golden lightning bolts blasted at Xu Mo.

A Source Power protective shield appeared around Xu Mo, but even so, fierce roaring sounds continued to emanate from his body, the golden lightning impacted the shield with powerful destruction force, causing it to shake, as if about to break open, infiltrating Xu Mo's body.

At the same time, Pugins continued upward, then swung a sword at Xu Mo from the air, seemingly a golden calamity crashed down in an attempt to destroy Xu Mo.

Xu Mo's breath roared like thunder, immediately thunderous sounds howled, Thunder Light shone on his body, he bathed in it, letting the golden destruction power crash down, remaining unmoved.

Until the sword slashed down, he sidestepped to avoid it, the sword slicing past him without hitting, his evasive action seemed effortless.

"Buzz."

Pugins moved straight forward, turned into golden lightning rushing at Xu Mo, one sword strike unleashed countless sword rays, covering the sky, carrying terrifying lights of destruction, advancing relentlessly, enveloping Xu Mo's position, seemingly sealing off all exit points.

Xu Mo moved like lightning, retreating with extreme speed, Pugins frowned, suddenly accelerating forward, a golden stream cutting through the void, the slaying sword chased Xu Mo at a terrifying speed.

"Boom." A lightning streak flashed, Xu Mo stepped into the void, disappearing from the spot, reappearing above Pugins, who chased upward, both moved at extreme speed, engaging in a pursuit.

"Why are you running?" Pugins spoke, and as his words fell, Xu Mo's movement was accompanied by rotating energy hovering around him.

"Boom." Thunderous sound erupted, nine swords flew out, breaking through the void, instantaneously killing towards Pugins.

The flying swords clashed with the sword released by Pugins, intercepted and stopped, but also halting Pugins's pursuit, he paused.

The nine swords flew back, floating before Xu Mo.

"You run pretty fast."

Pugins looked at Xu Mo, remarking, his words fell, golden lightning around him grew stronger, enveloping him completely, next moment, Pugins charged out again, as one sword thrust out, many sword shadows appeared in front, extremely sharp, simultaneously stabbing forward, at the same time, Pugins's speed surged, seeming like many sharp swords simultaneously attacking Xu Mo.

"Boom..."

A fierce energy storm suddenly went rampant around Xu Mo's body, terrifying lightning flashed, turning into a storm of thunderclouds, swords formed from condensed energy appeared, once again not being real swords.

Xu Mo's mind moved, instantly a flying sword broke the void, all phenomena kill, arriving instantly.

"Boom."

As that sword landed, it shattered directly, followed by the second sword, third sword... more and more.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Under all phenomena kill, numerous sharp swords successively unleashed, densely packed, but Pugins did not stop, although many sword shadows were destroyed, he continued rushing forward, determined.

This scene seemed familiar.

Like the previous battle, Oxso fought Augustus in the same way.

Xu Mo, was he going to defeat Pugins in the same manner Oxso defeated Augustus?

Yet, what Oxso could do, could Xu Mo achieve?

As Pugins continued moving forward, his sharp swords seemed ready to slaughter at any moment, just then, a powerful telekinesis fell on Pugins, slowing his speed again, while flying sword attacks kept coming, the offensive growing increasingly violent, he slapped his left hand forward, Source Power in him roared, controlling sharp swords to continue killing forward, cold golden eyes fixed on Xu Mo.

But next moment, he saw a pair of terrifying eyes.

"Kill."

A voice appeared in his mind, all phenomena kill seemed to appear in his Spiritual Sea, directly attacking his spiritual power, at this moment, Pugins seemed unable to tell the mental world from the outside.

His head experienced immense pain, the continuous sounds still persisted, the flying sword already broke a gap, piercing the golden light curtain formed by swords.

"I am not Oxso, and you are not Augustus." Xu Mo's voice appeared in Pugins's mind, telling him, "It seems, you're not very strong either."

"Boom..."

After the words fell, another violent impact came, as if intending to completely destroy his spiritual power.

At the same time, all phenomena kill reached, flying swords continuously broke through his sword curtain, in an instant, thousands of swords pierced through, executing Pugins in the sky.

Pugins's figure vanished, the battlefield gradually returned to calm, the chaotic energy storm disappeared without trace.

But witnessing this battle, the hearts of everyone present were far from calm.

This battle, remarkably similar to the previous one.

Xu Mo's abilities, very similar to Oxso's, telekinesis, flying swords, spiritual attack.

Pugins claimed Xu Mo wasn't Oxso, then Xu Mo practically imitated Oxso's tactics, killing him in the Ten Temple Alliance, likely being expelled from the Virtual World, Pugins's heart would not be calm, yet his expression couldn't be seen.

"Unexpectedly, Xu Mo also excels in spiritual attacks, and very powerfully." A thought arose in everyone's mind, Xu Mo and Oxso both cultivated spiritual power, hence both could manipulate objects via telekinesis.

Many people's eyes turned to Oxso, and at this moment, Oxso was also looking towards Xu Mo.

Previously, when he fought with Augustus, he thought that Augustus might be the strongest combat power of the Chloe Star Temple, or close to Xu Mo, but because Xu Mo had higher potential, he was placed first.

But now it seems that the ranking of the Chloe Star Temple is justified.

Like him, Xu Mo possesses spiritual power attacks, along with the fighting power of All Phenomena Kill, and both movement and sword techniques. In all aspects, there are no weaknesses, making it indeed very difficult to defeat him.

There are probably not many present who could do it.

The Ten Temple Alliance this time has some surprises.

After Xu Mo killed Pugins and returned to his seat, the transcendent beings of the Chloe Star Temple looked at Xu Mo with a new perspective. Previously, they were somewhat doubtful about Xu Mo being placed first.

But now, they realize that Xu Mo's combat power is real; Pugins, ranked third in the Capital Star Temple, was overwhelmingly crushed and killed. Who else dares to question Xu Mo's strength?

Oxso made them lose one person, and Xu Mo strongly responded by making the Capital Star Temple lose another person as well.

Both sides still have two people each.

In the final twelve, the Chloe Star Temple and the Capital Star Temple each have two people, and one other person.

It's going to get tougher from here.

No one is stepping out for a long time.

Right now, no one has absolute confidence.

If you step out, who will you challenge?

There isn't a single pushover.

Finally, the first person from Wilton stood up and walked out.

Charles, the strongest from Wilton Star's Aus Temple, with balanced all-around strength and powerful combat power.

When he stepped out, many speculated who he would challenge.

Now, who can he still challenge?

"I challenge, Chloe Star Temple, Zero." Charles said, and as his voice fell, the transcendent beings of the Chloe Star Temple all looked at him.

From the start, it was a standoff between the Wilton's Divine Temple and the Chloe Star Temple, which left only one person in the Wilton Star's Aus Temple.

Now, is Charles preparing to end the grievance between the two major Mystic God Temples?

Charles' idea was actually very simple: among the other nine major Mystic God Temples, Zero was the one he had the most confidence against, and any subsequent battles would be even more dangerous.

Given that, why not take the initiative and pick a relatively more assured opponent.

Even though after defeating Zero, he might likely face a challenge from Xu Mo, two consecutive battles, even if it's one win and one loss, is not unacceptable. If he wins both, without a doubt, he will attract the attention of the higher-ups in the Mystic God Temple, and the true disciple spot in the Mystic God Temple would very likely consider him.

Therefore, Charles chose Zero as his opponent.

Zero frowned; she didn't really want to fight, but someone kept coming for her.

"Zero, he actually looks down on you," Xu Mo whispered from the side, making those behind him speechless. You just defeated Pugins and are a representative figure of the Chloe Star Temple, can you maintain some decorum?

Actually fanning the flames here.

And the one going to battle is your girlfriend.

How sly.

Zero stood up and walked to the battlefield.

"You're a girl, you go first." Charles said, seemingly demonstrating his demeanor. Zero drew her sword and stepped forward.

Charles lost, and was cut down by Zero.

It wasn't as he imagined, at least defeating one, he defeated none and was simply gone.

Even in the final moments, Charles still thought he could win; he didn't know how he lost, only that his mind went blank at the time, and he even wanted to follow the opponent's orders, after which the opponent's sword sliced down.

Not only did Charles not understand, but others didn't quite get it either.

Zero's fighting appeared unassuming, always so simple, without much showiness, just stepping forward and cutting with the sword. She seemed slender, as if easy to bully, but challengers always ended up inexplicably cut down.

If it was accidental before, then with the strongest of Wilton Star's Aus Temple, Charles, being cut down, everyone had to reassess Zero's strength.

But Zero remained expressionless, returning to her spot, while Xu Mo gave her a thumbs up, still as straightforward.

After this battle, Wilton's Divine Temple had no one left.
