In the fighting arena, outside the glass door, Bonescrapper was enjoying the roars and cheers from the crowd. He wasn’t in a hurry to finish A`Tai off and seemed to take this as a type of entertainment.
At this moment, someone went up to the arena to ask Bonescrapper, while the female attendant came before Xu Mo and said, “Mister Hunter, if you challenge Bonescrapper, you will gain $3,500 worth of federal coins as a reward if you win. If you lose, you will gain 600 federal coins. Are you willing to fight?”
“Sure.” Xu Mo nodded. At this moment, Bonescrapper who was in the fighting arena shot his glance over here. The blood on his twin blades was still dripping onto the ground.
“Can you not go?” Bai Wei’s palms were tightly clenched and her voice quavered a little. Everything in the fighting arena was simply too cruel. She was worried that Xu Mo would die up there. Although she wasn’t clear about what sort of person Xu Mo was, everything here made her feel terror. In this place, the only person she could follow was Xu Mo.
However, Xu Mo directly walked past her.
Bonescrapper had agreed to Xu Mo’s challenge!
Under the rhythmic heavy metal music, the crowd unleashed its wild joy, enjoying the feeling of excitement that slaughter brought about. And at this moment, Xu Mo who held a scimitar in his hands had walked up to the fighting arena, and the staff in the fighting arena were preparing to lift A`Tai down. He hadn’t died yet. His two-meter-tall frame was now convulsing in pain.
“A`Tai!” Xu Mo shouted. A`Tai seemed to have heard him and stretched out his hand with difficulty.
Xu Mo held A`Tai’s mutilated palm only to hear A`Tai speaking weakly. “This is the ultimate fate for fighters. If you win your next fight, don’t ever come back here.”
When he spoke, he coughed out fresh blood. After that, his palm twitched a little before going completely still.
Xu Mo then let go of his hand and watched as A`Tai was carried down.
“You know him?” A voice drifted over from his back. Xu Mo turned and looked at Bonescrapper who had half his face covered by a mask.
“Yes,” Xu Mo replied.
Bonescrapper smiled. “You dare to come up even after watching how he died? What are you thinking?”
Xu Mo looked at Bonescrapper and fell silent for a moment before he replied, “I’m thinking about how you should die!”
Their conversation directly caused the atmosphere to erupt. Moreover, both of them were blade users.
As usual, the frantic music blared and people in the surrounding screamed. Bonescrapper licked the fresh blood on his twin blades and revealed a cruel smile while staring at Xu Mo.
At this moment, the mechanical voice rang out. “Challenger: Hunter with one victory. The fighter being challenged: Bonescrapper with eight victories!”
“Roar…” As the sound of this voice faded, the crowd completely went ballistic.
“Bonescrapper, how many attacks do you need this time?”
“Behead him!”
Someone shouted frenziedly. This time around, Bonescrapper wasn’t in a hurry to act. Rather, he spoke, “Merely one victory yet you dare to come up here? This time around, I will make you die a slow death.”
“I will blind your eyes with my first slash,” Xu Mo replied.
“Is that so?” Bonescrapper laughed. His body moved as he sprinted toward Xu Mo with extreme speed while unleashing an attack.
Xu Mo’s perception covered the arena. The moment he entered this state, the noise in the surroundings no longer existed to him. Every detail was branded in his mind, including the sound of the wind made by his opponent’s attacks.
A stream of blade light flashed with lightning speed, yet it failed to strike Xu Mo. It harmlessly arced past him. Xu Mo dodged this attack perfectly, as though he had calculated the blade’s precise position. His movements didn’t appear so coordinated, yet they were extremely precise.
However, this was merely the first slash. Bonescrapper’s speed was very fast. The moment he attacked, he instantly closed in and launched a second attack. His shocking blade art caused the crowd to erupt into wild cheers. It was as though they could see that Xu Mo would be directly killed by this blade attack.
The body of the blade slashed past Xu Mo’s body yet failed to come in contact with him. It looked extremely dangerous, like Xu Mo had very good luck to be able to dodge it.
However, Xu Mo’s ‘good luck’ seemed to continue on. He was able to dodge every one of the dangerous attacks easily. Bonescrapper couldn’t touch him at all.
“This isn’t luck, he is an expert. His reaction speed is extremely quick and his constitution is very powerful as well.”
Those with good judgment silently mused when they saw Xu Mo’s actions. The battle between Xu Mo and Bonescrapper gave them a feeling that was similar to when Bonescrapper fought against A`Tai.
It seemed like this fight would be extremely fascinating. Although Hunter only had one victory under his belt, since he dared to step up for the challenge, his strength definitely wasn’t simple.
Naturally, even more people felt that Xu Mo would surely die under Bonescrapper’s blade. Moreover, he would die a very tragic death in their opinion.
Bonescrapper’s twin blades didn’t stop since he hadn’t succeeded in his attack. His body closed in as he chose close combat, and his twin blades chopped out continuously. His blade technique was extremely quick, looking like a butcher who was chopping up meat. His attacks connected perfectly with each other, and every strike he made was a fatal one. This person was extremely ruthless.

But even so, his blades still had no way to touch Xu Mo’s body.
Under this berserk continuous combination of blade attacks, the crowd was cheering and howling with wild joy. They wanted to see how long Xu Mo could persist. However, some people felt that something was wrong. Xu Mo, who seemed to be in danger, had an exceptionally terrifying reaction speed. It was like he had calculated where each blade would land, and he could avoid the attacks perfectly. What sort of calculation ability was this? Or in other words, could it be that his fearsome reflex allowed his body to subconsciously dodge all the attacks?
Regardless of which possibility, Hunter was very terrifying.
Besides, up till now, he hadn’t even attacked.
Xu Mo didn’t attack because his blade technique wasn’t good. His advantage didn’t lie in his weapon. Back in his previous life, he had faced danger countless times in his risk-taking endeavors. Moreover, all aspects of his body were much stronger than before. Although Bonescrapper’s blades were fierce, they still belonged in the range of ordinary people. Bonescrapper was only proficient in combat.
In truth, when the opportunity arrived, only one strike was needed.
Bonescrapper also felt a little annoyed as he failed to break Xu Mo’s defenses despite his repeated attacks. Hence, his blade art turned even more ruthless and baleful. He then unleashed another horizontal slash, but at this moment, Bonescrapper saw a pair of eyes that were calm to the extreme. The calmness in those eyes caused him to feel a sense of crisis. It felt like Xu Mo was a cold-blooded killer.
The instant this thought appeared in Bonescrapper’s mind, Xu Mo acted for the first time.
He slashed out.
His first attack by the scimitar!
It was very quick, even quicker than Bonescrapper’s twin blades. In fact, it was even quicker than the flickering lights. This was an attack unleashed by an extremely powerful burst of strength. There was no technique to speak of, only speed that was brought about by strength.
The ice-cold light pierced into Bonescrapper’s eyes. At the next instant, he could no longer see; his eyes had lost the ability to reflect light. A moment later, the intense pain finally set in.
Screams of misery and pain echoed out loud in the fighting arena, causing the cheers and howls of the crowd to gradually stop. Only the heavy metal music continued blaring on.
“What happened?” The spectating crowd didn’t realize what had just happened. Bonescrapper’s eyes were blinded with a single attack? This was exactly what Bonescrapper had done to A`Tai.
“Yet another slash. Previously, he also won with a slash.” There was someone who saw how Xu Mo killed Lane back then. Right now, his heart was filled with excitement as he saw this amazing slash once more. Even though Hunter’s opponent was the even stronger Bonescrapper, the ending was the same.
(Hunter, his nickname is Hunter!)
Bonescrapper subconsciously tossed away the blade in his left hand so he could cover his eyes. However, the blade in his right hand began to slash out randomly.
At this moment, he recalled Xu Mo’s words previously. He would blind him with his first slash.
“Please stop, I don’t want to fight anymore. Spare me.” Bonescrapper’s voice turned soft.
“AHHH…” Another tragic scream rang out. The blade in his right hand had fallen onto the ground, and his wrist was bleeding.
The ice-cold scimitar slashed out continuously. Bonescrapper was kneeling on the ground, his knees bleeding. A few moments later, his body fell to the ground limply. He finally experienced A`Tai’s pain.
It was unknown why, but under such a crazed scene, the crowd below no longer cheered and shouted. It was like they could sense the cold killing intent from the scimitar in Xu Mo’s hands.
Xu Mo walked to the space before Bonescrapper. Under countless gazes, his scimitar flashed and sliced Bonescrapper’s throat. After that, he turned and walked away.
The crowd finally burst into a commotion again as they watched Xu Mo’s back view, roaring with great relish. The continuous two rounds of fights were simply too exciting.
After Xu Mo entered the backstage area, the female attendant paid him his reward, which was a total of 3,500 federal coins.
Xu Mo kept his reward while feeling somewhat complicated in his heart. This was the money he earned by ‘taking life’ in the fighting arena.
“Does Mister Hunter want to continue?” the female attendant asked.
“No.” Xu Mo rejected. He shot a glance at Bai Wei before heading outside.
This time around, Xu Mo’s rewards weren’t little. Right now, he already had over 10,000 federal coins. This sum of money was considered a huge amount in the Subterranean World. At the very least, this was so for the common folk in the world below.
Xu Mo left the gambling den, and Bai Wei followed him quietly. However, from the start till the end, she maintained a distance between them.

Xu Mo turned and looked at her. Bai Wei’s gaze showed signs of evasion as though she was a little afraid. After all, she had personally witnessed Xu Mo’s performance in the fighting arena, so it was very difficult for her not to feel frightened. Xu Mo naturally could tell as well.
“If you want to leave, you can go any time,” Xu Mo spoke to Bai Wei. His current mood wasn’t very good. The experiences today caused him to feel somewhat irritable in his heart.
Bai Wei started. After that, she saw Xu Mo continue walking forward alone. Clearly, he wasn’t joking. Xu Mo was really willing to let her go.
Bai Wei chewed her lips lightly as she watched Xu Mo’s back. She then pulled her clothes tighter around her and increased her pace to chase after Xu Mo. She had no idea where she could go. In addition, although she was afraid of Xu Mo, she was even more afraid of people in the black market.
Xu Mo knew that Bai Wei was following him, but he didn’t say anything. The moment he walked out of the gambling den, he could sense that several people were following him. This time around, the commotion he created was larger than before. Evidently, it would attract the attention of even more people. It wasn’t convenient for him to shake them off while bringing Bai Wei along. Hence, he decided to send her out of the black market first.
