Chapter 301: Chapter 138: Duel of the Seven_3

And Gao Xin finally laughed.

"You finally dare to step out."

The Black Knight glared at Gao Xin hatefully, "I have minus 10 points, and you have 26 points!"

"Who else should I duel if not you?"

"I haven’t bet any points on gambling, and now my only way out is to take your head."

He was all in, at last resorting to a do-or-die struggle!

The Black Knight had to snatch Gao Xin’s head from the hands of five powerful warriors; afterwards, he’d probably face a siege by those five.

This was practically hell difficulty, but he had no choice—the negative ten points! People weren’t playing with him anymore.

Do nothing? Wait another round? Waiting more, he feared he might drop to negative fifteen points!

So killing for points was the only option left.

The life he staked was hanging by a thread.

He regretted not having gone all out from the first round, dueling Gao Xin right away to recover his points before doing anything else.

Thus, a seven-man duel commenced.

To this, Gao Xin simply said, with no surprise, "Old Black, it’s too late for you to go all out now... huhu."

Then, laughing, he placed consecutive bets on the round table—bang, bang, bang!—betting on 5 different odds!

Viper, Steel Axe, Iron Hand, Rocket Head, and Swamp Crocodile—all five duel odds against him were bet with 5 points each.

In one breath, he had bet 25 points.

With only 1 point left in hand, he casually placed it on the [Black Knight dueling Tai Sui] odds, betting on a draw.

Then Gao Xin calmly said, "Old Black, I don’t have a single point left now."

"Here, these five, choose any you like."

They wanted to duel him for his head, yet Gao Xin actually asked the Black Knight to help him pick one of them.

The Black Knight was at a loss, since killing Gao Xin no longer had any benefit for him.

He joined the fray just to recover points, killing one was like killing another, wasn’t it?

Snatching anyone’s head, wasn’t it all the same?

Steel Axe, Iron Hand, these players each had 4 points, kill one to recover 4 points, two for 8 points, and by killing three he’d even have 2 points to spare.

"Rocket Head, leave him to me, I can take him down," the Black Knight shifted his target in an instant.

Rocket Head was furious, "What? Just because you’re a black ghost, you dare to underestimate me?"

He was really angry, the Black Knight picked on him as if he was the weakest?

The Black Knight said coldly, "So what if I underestimate you? I’m at minus 10 points, whom should I fear?"

Rocket Head’s face stiffened, it was such a hassle to be targeted by someone with minus 10 points.

The others also looked unhappy. What was initially a five-on-one situation now had the Black Knight stirring the pot, making him a cumbersome opponent to kill.

However, it didn’t matter, they were assured to win.

"Swamp Crocodile, just cripple the Black Knight and force him to surrender, and don’t interfere with us," Rocket Head called out.

He didn’t want to entangle with the Black Knight and directly asked Swamp Crocodile to make a move.

Hearing this, the Black Knight’s face changed, and without a second thought, he triggered second-stage overclocking and hurriedly rushed towards the passageway.

No matter what, he had to enter the arena first.

Swamp Crocodile snorted coldly, bursting with momentum. He kicked off the ground, chasing after him, and with a swing of his large knife, he severed one of the Black Knight’s legs.

"Fuck..." The Black Knight, driven to desperation, suddenly turned around and spat out a dense mass of black beetles from his mouth.

At that moment, he looked like a demon.

Thousands of beetles swarmed, enveloping Swamp Crocodile, biting all over his body.

"What! [Human Body Insect Nest]!" Everyone was shocked; this was a very niche ability from the R-class gene modules.

As the name suggested, the user’s body served as a nest to breed and harbor insects.

They could devour flesh and matter from a distance to sustain oneself; this attack wasn’t very effective against enemies, and hardly anyone took up this module because insects were hard to cultivate. To breed them effectively required a lot of high-grade material.

"Ha!" Swamp Crocodile suddenly roared out loud.

The sound wave condensed into substance, turning into a shockwave that killed a swath of beetles on the spot.

"Hahaha!"

He laughed three times as the insects around him continued to fall, all shaken to death.

"Is that all? What use are bugs? Who else would study this stupid module?" Swamp Crocodile sneered.

But the Black Knight also took the chance to break into the Duel Arena.

"Forget about him, let’s kill Tai Sui first!"

Viper was the first to attack Gao Xin, twirling his swords for the kill.

His second-stage overclocked aura ripped his upper garments apart as a black snake-like armor spread out.

Iron Hand and Steel Axe also made their move at the same time.

Tie Shou raised both his arms, launching a long-range attack, with various warheads rattling towards his target.

Gao Xin immediately deployed his Exoskeleton Armor, which shone with a silver-white brilliance.

But it was soon riddled with holes; a rocket rose from Tie Shou’s shoulder, homing in and locking on before piercing Gao Xin’s chest with a whoosh, shattering his armor on the spot.

Tie Shou, this guy, was a Radiation part-time cyborg.

His pair of prosthetic iron arms could fire like a light machine gun, raining a storm of bullets and enveloping his target.

Gao Xin made use of the Round Table, dodging around columns and protecting his head and vitals.

However, the Steel Axe came slashing in diagonally, a powered giant axe tearing through the air like the roar of a tiger or the chant of a dragon.

"Boom!"

Above the giant axe flames burst forth, intense heat and flames instantly turning the silver-white armor red-hot.

Steel Axe weighed five hundred kilograms and had tremendous strength; without even overclocking his organs, he had a crushing force of up to one hundred and fifty tons!

One could say that most of the people assigned to this match seemed low-key, but as soon as they made a move, each of them struck with thunderous might.

Steel Axe, Tie Shou, these guys, each one was stronger than Gao Shu, standing out as the cream of the crop among the True Tiger level.

"Clang!"

Gao Xin blocked with his sword, instantly dampening the flames on the giant axe.

Demon Blade absorbed energy!

Meanwhile, utilizing the recoil, he let his body fall and slid into the passage like a swift arrow.

"Hmph, are you really just a Sub-Tiger?"

Although the crowd had noted that Gao Xin seemed to be just a Sub-Tiger in the previous round, there had been no actual combat.

Now with just a slight collision, Viper confirmed that Gao Xin’s physical level was indeed just Sub-Tiger.

This could be seen from the Exoskeleton Armor alone, its defense much inferior to that of a True Tiger’s.

"Chase him!" Viper pursued relentless, faster, sticking to Gao Xin’s heels and slashing wildly with his twin swords.

Each strike was hugely powerful, tearing flesh and scattering bones, the twin swords as deadly as a meat grinder.

"Is that all your defense has got? You’re not good at offense either. I don’t know what you’re so arrogant about..." Viper grew more excited as he chopped, blood spraying everywhere as he chased down his foe.

But Steel Axe wasn’t able to get involved, and Tie Shou had to cease firing as well.

After all, the passage was narrow, and any further shooting could now hit Viper.

They hastened to catch up, followed closely by Rocket Head and Swamp Crocodile.

The group thus formed a long line, with Gao Xin entering the Duel Arena first, Viper following close behind.

"Don’t run!" Viper burst out of the passage.

"Run?"

Gao Xin had been pursued and chopped all the way without ever striking back.

At that moment, he suddenly counterattacked, the Demon Blade spinning to slice in an inconceivable trajectory.

Whirring, whirring, whirring! Gao Xin’s overclocked aura exploded in a triple burst.

"Clang! Sizzle!" Viper instantly blocked.

Beneath the collision of sword and knife, sparks flew, and a massive electric current coursed through Viper’s entire body.

Viper was paralyzed on the spot, with his flesh scorched black by the electricity, a minor concern compared to his stiffened body and sluggish movements.

"Thud!"

Viper’s neck was severed on the spot, his head flying off.

"What!"

The oncoming crowd was shocked—Viper... was down just like that?

This was the moment right after Viper had exited the passage, while the others were still behind.

Gao Xin and he were effectively in a head-to-head 1v1.

In this brief instant, no one felt any threat, not even Viper himself.

As a result, Viper was taken down in a second.

"Hiss!"

"What kind of killing technique is this!"

"Weren’t you said to be poor at offense?"

The crowd knew that the Demon Blade in Gao Xin’s hand was sharp, but they never expected Viper not to withstand even a single move.

That blade was like a ghost or a deity, completely unlike human swordsmanship.

"Save... save me..." Viper wasn’t dead yet, his head alone remaining, veins bulging, face purpling, rolling in the passageway.

Gao Xin, touching the blood on his Demon Blade, then touched the wound on his own chest.

"So what if I am a Sub-Tiger?"

"It only takes one slice to take you down."
