Chapter 418: Chapter 56: Duel Scene_2
She couldn’t quite see through it.
Li Zelong’s heart was also somewhat turbulent, but there was no sign of it on his face. Dealing with these people, one must be shrewd.
“Some people need to step down,” the young man said indifferently, “Let’s go and see the site. I’m actually looking forward to this duel.”
Li Zelong nodded and followed him outside, with Nanming Huowu quietly trailing behind. Ever since arriving at the Capital, other than cultivating at the Royal Academy, Li Zelong had taken her to various events to broaden her horizons, and she had seen many things.
Soon, a flying device took off, heading towards the direction of the duel site.

There was a special symbol on the flying device; it was actually the symbol of Byron Star.
...
Meanwhile, in different places, people began departing consecutively to the site of the final battle—of course, these were people who were qualified to enter the site.
The duel site was also the arena for the Extraordinary Agency’s competition.
The periphery was packed with a sea of people, and inside, many had already arrived.
The people from Stark Group had all arrived early. Stark Hao found a spot to sit down, next to him was his father, who also came in person to watch the duel.
Ye Qingdie and Xiao Qi were there with Stark Group; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to come in.
“Sister Ye, why has he often been out of reach these past few days?” Stark Hao asked Ye Qingdie.
Hadn’t he left the Divine Sword Bureau to return to Future City?
“Not sure,” Ye Qingdie shrugged.
“Isn’t he at home?” asked Stark Hao.
“At home, at his girlfriend’s,” Ye Qingdie said.
“…” Stark Hao paused, then asked, “For several days?”
Ye Qingdie nodded.
“Impressive,” Stark Hao admitted, unable to help but admire it.
He practically considered his girlfriend’s place as his own home.
Thinking of this, Stark Hao dialed Xu Mo’s communicator and got through.
“Where are you?” Stek asked.
“Almost there,” Xu Mo replied.
“You’re cutting it close,” Stark continued, “Didn’t come a bit early? Might be the last face you see.”
“Don’t worry, you’ll die before I will,” Xu Mo responded.
“Good to have confidence,” Stark Hao said. As he hung up the communicator, he noticed Ye Qingdie staring at him and shivered, saying, “Sister Ye, just a joke, relax a bit.”
Indeed, even though Xu Mo was ruthless, her heart still sided with Xu Mo.
Even though it was a joke, it could indeed be the last face he might see.
That guy really had a laid-back attitude.
At that moment, his father’s gaze directed toward a certain direction, signaling him. Stark Hao also looked that way and soon saw a group of people sitting in the distance; they were from Black Shield Group.
The leader was none other than the president of Black Shield Group, who had also come personally, probably to support Lancelot Star.
Furthermore, the spot where he sat was crowded with many people from the Alien Race residing on Byron Star. The president of Black Shield Group clearly considered himself as one of the aliens, though he indeed had joined Lancelot Star citizenship.
The president of Black Shield Group noticed the situation here and even proactively nodded towards Stark Hao’s father, his face carrying a faint smile. It seemed the previous kidnapping incident had no lasting impact on him; on the contrary, life was still suave.
At Ye Qingdie’s side, Ying and Xiao Qi stared angrily in that direction, the culprit who had sent people to target Sister Butterfly.
A person nearby spoke to him, and instantly the president of Black Shield Group shifted his gaze away, casually chatting with the aliens nearby.
The scene was attended by many individuals from alien races who came with a mindset of watching the excitement. This duel did not directly concern them, but a dominant Byron Star was clearly not something they desired.
Therefore, they also hoped that Lancelot Star could suppress Byron Star’s arrogance properly and make them behave. “Amanda, killing that native from Byron Star shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Next, all they needed to do was watch the show.
“Here they come…” At that moment, their gazes turned toward the distance, only to see several flying devices approaching from that direction. Moreover, alongside the flying devices, mechanical bodies flew through the air, following along, creating a spectacular scene.
For a moment, countless people inside and outside the duel arena looked up into the sky, captivated by the sight before them.
“The folks from Lancelot Star sure know how to make an entrance; it’s like they’re showing off,” said someone from the alien races at Black Shield Group, understanding that this was Lancelot Star flaunting their mechanical bodies to taunt Byron Star and psychologically overwhelm their opponent.
After arriving, the people from Lancelot Star did not descend immediately but circled around the arena in the air. The crowd outside began cursing in anger, telling them to come down, yet no one paid them any heed.
The audience at the scene also felt quite annoyed. Did they have to show off their arrogance right from the start?
The people from Lancelot Star were truly as arrogant as ever.
After circling the arena several times, the flying devices and mechanical bodies from Lancelot Star finally began to land. In the air, a figure stood at the highest point, surveying the crowd, descending along with the main group from Lancelot Star.
“It’s Amanda.”
Many recognized the mechanical body, the main character in today’s duel, looking down at the dueling scene with a proud posture, especially when he saw the emotionally charged crowd outside, his demeanor became even more arrogant.
These lowly races still couldn’t grasp the reality even now.
The people from Lancelot Star landed near the area where the president of Black Shield Group was located; those from different alien races around looked at Amanda floating in the air and said, “It seems Amanda is very confident this time.”
“It’s just dealing with a lowly native. Since the people from Byron Star like grand spectacles, today we’ll slaughter their ‘hero’ from Byron Star,” Amanda spoke with a tone full of disdain.
“Amanda, I’ve bet quite a lot of money, you better finish the fight quickly,” said someone with a laugh.
The surrounding people discussed among themselves; they had opened a betting pool, but almost no one bet on the win/loss odds since Amanda’s odds of winning were too low to have any value.
And betting on Xu Mo winning seemed unnecessary, purely a waste.
So, there was a bet on how long it would take for Amanda to finish the fight, making Xu Mo bleed.
That betting option was much more interesting.
“They’re here.”
At that time, the president of Black Shield Group looked toward the distant direction, seeing several flying devices approaching, and from afar, they could see the sword-shaped emblem on the flying devices.
Divine Sword Bureau!
Xu Mo had joined the Divine Sword Bureau and seemed to have come with them.
Upon seeing Divine Sword Bureau’s flying devices, the crowd outside the duel arena burst into shouts; however, the mood was still not very uplifting; many still believed Xu Mo’s chances of winning were slim, so emotions were suppressed.
“Here they come!” Countless people at the duel scene looked toward that direction, all eyes on them.
The flying devices from the Divine Sword Bureau entered the dueling area and slowly began to descend, with everyone’s gaze focused on them, and the folks from Lancelot Star also watched intently.
The Divine Sword Bureau, Byron Star’s strongest Extraordinary Agency—they were well aware of it and had dealt with it before.
Did Xu Mo think that after training for three months at the Divine Sword Bureau, he could defeat Amanda?
Under the watchful eyes of many, the flying device from the Divine Sword Bureau landed, and figures emerged from inside.
Xu Mo also stepped out.
He raised his head, searching for something, and soon spotted many familiar faces, their gazes somewhat anxious but all trying hard to control their nerves, not wanting to pressure Xu Mo.
Finally, Xu Mo’s gaze stopped at a certain spot, where he saw the people from Lancelot Star, the folks from Black Shield Group, and he saw Amanda.
Amanda also looked at him; the mechanical part covering his head opened, and his gaze met Xu Mo’s across the distance. The mechanical body’s curved blade was raised, making a beheading gesture toward Xu Mo.
Kill!
