Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Chase Game (Fifth Update)

Xia Luo’s lips twitched.

Even though he didn’t care about Kong Tianqing’s life or death, if the person he came to protect got killed by Yang Xiao, wouldn’t that be a slap in his face?

”Yang Xiao, I’ve given you enough respect today. Don’t push your luck. Do you really think I’m afraid to make a move on you?”

When Xia Luo unleashed his fury, no one dared to be unafraid; his handsome face bore a chilling frost, intimidating all who saw it.

Yang Xiao appeared indifferent and said calmly,

”Kong Tianqing recklessly ran to our Kongming Academy, killed several of our classmates, and injured dozens more. If we can tolerate such things, what can’t we tolerate?

I’ve decided to kill him, but I can give you some face. Currently, Kong Tianqing is being watched by our people. I’ll have him released shortly, but I will hunt him down. You and I will set off together, you can try to save him, but you are not allowed to attack me. You have ten minutes; if within those ten minutes you can stop my attacks, I concede, and you can take Kong Tianqing away, if...”

”Hahaha...”

Without waiting for Yang Xiao to finish, Xia Luo burst into laughter and then suddenly turned serious, saying loudly,

”If I can’t save Kong Tianqing in ten minutes, I might as well not be the president of Xianan University’s student council. I’d rather become your lackey.”

Yang Xiao chuckled,

”Don’t make hasty comments; if something unexpected happens, it will be hard for me. Last time Zhou Qiang was like this, so take back what you said, and I’ll pretend you said nothing.”

Xia Luo: ”...”

Xia Luo thought to himself, initially believing he was the most conceited person, never expecting Yang Xiao to be even more conceited — truly a marvel!

Yang Xiao whispered a few words to Zhao Gang, who immediately shouted,

”Everyone step to the sides, step aside.”

Xiao Zhe, Dai Yun, Feifei, and the others stepped forward, guiding the people from Xianan University to stand on the left side of the field.

Zhao Gang then walked to Xu Nanqiang and gave a few instructions.

Xu Nanqiang withdrew a few hundred people from the support group.

Zhao Gang said to Kong Tianqing,

”Your people can all leave now, but you must stay.”

Kong Tianqing had already heard the conversation between Yang Xiao and Xia Luo, and now he sneered,

”Yang Xiao wants to kill me? Heh, not so easy. Even without Xia Luo saving me, I can escape his hunt on my own. By the way, let me ask, if I kill Yang Xiao, do I bear any responsibility?”

Zhao Gang was taken aback; he couldn’t answer this, so he said, ”Wait here; I’ll go ask.”

”No need to ask, Kong Tianqing. If you can kill me, that’s your skill and my fate. I won’t have any complaints. However, you must pay a blood price for invading my Kongming Academy and killing my brothers.”

”Haha, Yang Xiao, you needn’t say more. If you can kill me, I have no complaints. If you can’t, what can you do to me?”

Once Kong Tianqing regained his freedom, his confidence and arrogance returned. Although he wasn’t entirely sure he could defeat Yang Xiao, evading Yang Xiao’s hunt within ten minutes seemed ridiculously easy.

He even doubted whether Yang Xiao had lost his mind to propose such a simple game.

At the moment, the field had been cleared.

Since both sides had temporarily reached a verbal agreement to ally, the hostility wasn’t as deep. Zhou Qiang led 600 people onto the field to watch the excitement while also being prepared for any unexpected events. After all, Xia Luo was participating in this game, and who knows what Yang Xiao was planning?

The people from Kongming Academy gathered on the left side of the field, and those from Xianan University gathered on the right, putting more than a hundred meters between them, preventing ambushes and ensuring both sides’ safety.

Yang Xiao and Xia Luo stood side by side.

Kong Tianqing stood a hundred meters away from Yang Xiao, watching him intently. He felt excited; though things had not gone smoothly today, he didn’t expect to have a chance to show his skills. It’s just a pity that his Silver Fox Sword and Wolf Skin Gold Armor had been taken, a thought that pained him.

Suddenly, Kong Tianqing raised his hand to make a request,

”Yang Xiao, my equipment was taken by your people. Can you return it to me? You can’t just chase me, unarmed, like this. That’s too cruel!”

Yang Xiao laughed and said,

”Cruel? Who can compare to you? The other day in the valley, to keep all the equipment dropped by the mutated wolf, you even killed your own brothers. Can anyone be more ruthless than you?”

Buzz!

A buzzing seemed to go through the heads of people from Xianan University, especially the two hundred from the Physics College. Just a few days ago, they had followed Kong Tianqing to hunt the mutated dog – they were all familiar classmates, some even good friends or brothers.

If what Yang Xiao said was true, then Kong Tianqing was utterly inhumane for attacking his own brothers.

Even Xia Luo was shocked.

”Yang Xiao, Kong Tianqing says his teammates were killed by you. Now you say he killed them. What’s going on?”

”Xia Luo, don’t listen to his nonsense. Our teammates were killed by Yang Xiao and his people. He’s trying to sow discord so you won’t save me. Xia Luo, don’t fall for it.”

The group from the Physics College was emotionally charged, yelling,

”Yang Xiao, explain clearly. What’s going on?”

”If it weren’t for you killing our brothers, we wouldn’t have come for revenge either.”

...

There was a bit of chaos on the field as everyone discussed, voices chattering.

Yang Xiao took a few steps forward, gesturing for silence to the Xianan University crowd, saying,

”Actually, most of your people died fighting the mutated dog that night. The dog suddenly evolved to the Enhanced Gene Stage. Kong Tianqing and his team fought the dog, and in the end, only Kong Tianqing and one brother were left, someone who wielded a long spear.”

”Yes, the spear wielder was Fan Xiaobing.”

The Physics College people seconded that.

Yang Xiao briefly explained the situation at the time, and everyone seemed to find no flaws in his story. In the distance, Kong Tianqing was sweating with anxiety but was helpless against Yang Xiao.

Finally, Yang Xiao said,

”I admit I was also greedy, so I attacked Kong Tianqing, hoping to snatch the equipment dropped by the mutated dog.”

As he spoke, Yang Xiao pulled Long Yongjun forward and said,

”Everyone, look at my brother’s Dog Blood Blade and this Wolf Skin Gold Armor. These came from the mutated dog and were snatched from Kong Tianqing’s hands.”

Yang Xiao’s words were logical and flawless, even describing in detail how Kong Tianqing backstabbed his brothers, leaving little room for disbelief.

Kong Tianqing’s biggest flaw was his claim that Yang Xiao killed their 7 people.

”Everyone can see, there were only five of us present at that time.”

Yang Xiao had Chen Fei, Qin Yu, and Deng Xiao stand forward, pointing at them and saying,

”It was just us, with a lower genetic evolution level than you, and our equipment was inferior — how could we have killed their 7 people?”

More from Xianan University began to believe Yang Xiao’s account, making their original motive of coming to confront Yang Xiao seem suddenly invalid, decreasing their resentment.

Even Xia Luo’s impression of Yang Xiao improved significantly.

Kong Tianqing could no longer control his emotions, roaring in anger, transforming into a bull-headed beast, and grabbing a steel pipe off the ground to charge at Yang Xiao.

”Yang Xiao, die! I’ll kill you!”

Yang Xiao sneered, had already grabbed the sparrow bow from his back, drew it like a full moon and shot at the charging Kong Tianqing with an arrow like a meteor.

Xia Luo was taken aback, then suddenly zipped through the air, holding a green longsword as he rushed towards Kong Tianqing, shouting,

”Yang Xiao, no matter what Kong Tianqing has done, he’s from Xianan University. Let me take him back, and I will give everyone an account.”

”No, his hands are stained with my brothers’ blood, and this revenge I must personally exact.”

”Very well, let’s rely on our abilities. If within ten minutes you can’t kill him, I’ll take him back.”
