The Seventh Base - Chapter 1072: 130: Hunt

Chapter 1072: Chapter 130: Hunt

The sandstorm grew increasingly fierce, covering the sky and blocking the sun, as the hurricane passed, the dust shrouded the heavens.

Transcendents on the outskirts watching the battle saw the sandstorm sweeping toward them. Some cautious transcendent retreated, leaving the sandstorm area, but there were also those bold enough to be swept into the storm, still wanting to observe the outcome of the battle.

Furthermore, they wanted to see how the fight between Lin Fan and Xu Mo was going. They should still be battling within the sandstorm, right?

Entering the sandstorm, the yellow sand whipped about, blurring vision. Without strong eyesight, nothing could be seen clearly, and those skilled in spiritual power released their perception to observe everything around.

Below, transcendent from the O’Brian Republic and Kales Empire were still locked in fierce battle, especially those top figures, their attacks were extremely fierce.

In the desert, rustling sounds were heard, a special aura emanated, someone sensed monsters wriggling in the desert.

“Be careful, there are many Sand Beasts,” someone said with a sense of caution.

Suddenly, Sand Beasts burst forth from the desert, rushing toward the sky.

“Boom…” Everyone instantly released energy, one person wielded a sharp sword, diving downwards and slashing at a monster.

Elsewhere, Sand Beasts continued to appear, roaming the desert, making the sandstorm incredibly chaotic.

“Quickly, get out,” someone said, it seemed this sandstorm was caused by the Sand Beasts, for some unknown reason they had gone berserk, crazily hunting transcendent.

A transcendent battled with a Sand Beast, suddenly his head shuddered violently, falling into a blank state, his movements halted, and with a splat, the Sand Beast bit off his head, blood spattering, striking horror into those watching nearby.

“Go.”

Several spectators began to evacuate the area, frantically running away.

The warring sides of the O’Brian Republic and Kales Empire couldn’t flee, they were still engaged in battle, surrounded by Sand Beasts, which launched attacks against them as well. Kales Empire Prince Lonco punched a Sand Beast, causing it to explode, feeling somewhat agitated, this battle had lasted long without victory, Heath O’Brien was difficult and hard to deal with.

On another battlefield, O’Brian Republic’s Sarlon was fighting against a top figure from the Kales Empire, the battle was equally fierce, with brutal attacks.

Moreover, both sides were soldiers by background, fighting with extreme toughness.

At this moment, the two shot toward each other, Sarlon’s armor-clad arms were sharp, his hands mechanized, emanating dark luster, attacking straight toward his enemy.

The opponent’s long spear swept across, Sarlon grasped the spear, with a thud, the spear pushed forward like breaking bamboo, scraping against the armor aiming to pierce Sarlon’s heart, while Sarlon’s other hand aimed directly at the opponent’s head, the grim mechanical body emanating a dark cold energy light, containing a terrifying force to shred.

Just then, Sarlon suddenly felt other people’s spiritual power invade his mind.

At this moment, Sarlon’s face changed dramatically, this wasn’t the opponent’s ability, but an attack from others, yet they were fighting in the desert, with no one around.

In an instant, many thoughts arose in Sarlon’s mind.

Could it be Xu Mo?

He’s also in this sandstorm.

“Boom…”

At this critical moment, Sarlon’s head violently shook, as if hit by a destructive attack, his mind went blank, at such a crucial moment, this assault was fatal.

“Pfft!”

The domineering Heavy Spear directly pierced through Sarlon’s armor, penetrating within, while his hand merely shifted slightly, brushing past the opponent’s cheek. The transcendent from the Kales Empire pulled out the Long Spear, head throbbing in pain, and Sarlon’s body fell downward.

His eyes fixed above, wanting to say something, suddenly a Sand Beast burst from below, swallowing him whole; as he fell into the monster’s mouth, a voice echoed in his mind.

“Very clever, your master will accompany you in death.”

As the voice faded, the Sand Beast devoured him entirely, quickly burrowing into the desert and vanishing.

In his final moments, it’s unknown what Sarlon was thinking, he might have guessed it was Xu Mo, but he likely never imagined that during their conversation, the outcome was already foreshadowed.

He was doomed to die.

Only two people heard Matthew’s conversation, after Matthew’s death, only Heath O’Brien and Sarlon knew about it.

This matter pertained to the Ancient Book. Heath O’Brien didn’t speak of it, nor did Sarlon, Xu Mo had already confirmed by invading Sarlon’s memories earlier.

Now, only Heath O’Brien remains.

Since they knew the secret of the Ancient Book, even if suspected, their fate was already sealed, one must die.

If Heath O’Brien and Sarlon don’t die, then it’s Xu Mo who must die.

Even if Heath O’Brien escapes, he won’t let him go, even with the Mystic God Temple around, it’s still O’Brian Republic’s territory, even the Temple may not protect him.

Therefore, for Xu Mo, Heath O’Brien must die.

Of course, it couldn’t be him to kill.

As a Cultivator of the Mystic God Temple, if he kills the son of the O’Brian Republic leader, he will surely die.

Regarding this, Xu Mo must be extremely cautious.

Heath O’Brien must die, but there must not be the slightest trace of Xu Mo in Heath’s death.

He lured Lin Fan into the desert for the hunt, unexpectedly, Heath O’Brien chased after them, which was undoubtedly a heaven-sent opportunity.

With such a chance, how could Xu Mo possibly miss it.

After the Transcendent of the Kales Empire ‘killed’ Sarlon, he headed towards the battlefield of Heath and Lonco, he himself was a top figure of the Kales Empire, to be matched against Sarlon.

Upon arriving at the battlefield, he saw Heath O’Brien and Lonco engaged in fierce combat.

“Solved?” Lonco asked the newcomer during the fight.

“Yes.” The newcomer nodded.

“Nicely done, come help me, kill this Prince of the Republic, I want his head.” Excitement flickered in Lonco’s eyes, the war between the Kales Empire and the O’Brian Republic had been going on for years, with countless casualties on both sides.

Yet, no figure of such rank as a Prince had been killed.

If he returned with Heath O’Brien’s head, it would undoubtedly boost the Kales Empire’s morale.

His father, the Emperor, would also bestow upon him a medal.

As long as Heath O’Brien is killed, then it doesn’t matter if there are no other gains in this Empire Trial Field.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The Transcendent raised the Heavy Spear in his hand, heading straight towards Heath O’Brien, while Lonco attacked almost simultaneously.

Heath O’Brien stared at the two, his face grim, Sarlon was dead?

Sarlon, as his core guardian had immense Combat Power, yet had been killed by the opponent.

“Boom…”

The two closed in instantly, only to see an Energy Shield appearing in front of Heath O’Brien, which shattered instantly, and Heath O’Brien’s figure swiftly retreated, turning to flee.

Obviously, he realized things were amiss, in a one-on-one he was already at a disadvantage, although he could fight to a draw, he was slightly inferior to Lonco, whose attacks were very dominant and strong, now with an additional top Transcendent capable of killing Sarlon, it was a absolute disaster.

In this situation, Heath O’Brien immediately chose to retreat, avoiding direct confrontation.

As Heath O’Brien turned to retreat, the desert was continuously wriggling, suddenly a Sand Beast emerged from the desert, rushing towards him.

“Get lost.” Heath O’Brien shouted coldly, his voice infused with violent energy, his whole body radiated brilliantly, the Energy Light burned everything, like the sun, piercing through the gigantic body of the Sand Beast.

As the Sand Beast fell, a scorched smell emanated from its body, Heath O’Brien continued forward, but that momentary pause had already slowed him down a fraction, a violent gust suddenly came from behind—it was Lonco arriving.

Heath O’Brien turned to see a Long Spear appearing, invisible Energy Waves swept out, sound waves spreading, piercing into his mind, Lonco released an attack like a storm and giant wave, triggering an Energy Storm.

“Boom…”

A wave of scorching heat roared and erupted, Heath O’Brien seemed to transform into a flame deity, determined to evaporate the energy, his arm extending forward like steel, clashing directly with the spear, with a loud sound, Heath O’Brien’s body was forced back, the other Transcendent’s spear also arrived, assaulting him.

The energy within Heath O’Brien’s body erupted thoroughly, forming a high-temperature area within the sandstorm, sand was evaporated by the high temperature, yet Lonco’s duo’s attacks were continuous and unending, their cooperation allowed them to release spear after spear, giving Heath O’Brien no chance to breathe, they wanted to seize Heath O’Brien all at once.

On another battlefield, the Mystic God Temple Transcendent and Empire Transcendent were fighting together, after Proto killed the opponent, he ventured deeper into the sandstorm to search for Heath O’Brien, yet found himself lost in the sandstorm, unable to see any figures, Heath O’Brien was nowhere to be found, nor were the republican soldiers guarding Heath O’Brien.

Around him, Sand Beasts gradually pounced on him, as Proto waved them away, his brows furrowed tightly.

This desert area was becoming more chaotic, showing signs of losing control, he had to remind Heath O’Brien to leave, continuing like this, no one knew what the outcome would be.

If anything happened to Heath O’Brien in the Empire Trial Field, it would be difficult for the Mystic God Temple to explain.

Underneath the desert, Xu Mo was observing everything in this region.

He hadn’t moved, remaining hidden and silent.

Heath O’Brien had formidable Power, if attacked and not killed, he would be exposed.

To kill Heath O’Brien, he must deliver a fatal strike, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Now, with Lonco and his ally already suppressing Heath O’Brien, as long as support from others is limited, and they delay further, Heath O’Brien will gradually become unable to hold on, ideally, he wouldn’t need to intervene.

But if necessary, he wouldn’t give Heath O’Brien any chance to survive.

At this moment, he was like a patient Hunter, hunting.
