Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Let Heaven Decide

In the blink of an eye, Gong Yu’s Lightning Spear jabbed towards the belly of the Green Snake formed by Liu Yiyi.

As the tip of the spear pierced into the body of the Green Snake, Gong Yu hesitated, and the spear rigidly stopped midair.

After all, Liu Yiyi was his playmate since middle school and the girl he had always liked; though they couldn’t be in love, he couldn’t bear to cruelly kill her.

At the moment of Gong Yu’s hesitation, the Green Snake spewed out a thick black mist aimed at Gong Yu. He immediately felt dizzy, eyes went dark, and he fainted.

With a swing of its massive tail, the Green Snake sent Gong Yu’s body flying away, and he landed with a thud on the sandy ground about forty or fifty meters away.

Yang Xiao exclaimed in shock and immediately rushed over to lift Gong Yu, only to see his face turning black and his body trembling.

Yang Xiao took out a Small Blood Pill and placed it in Gong Yu’s mouth.

”Hmph, truly ignorant, Small Blood Pill can only heal injuries, not detoxify; you can’t save him.”

Liu Yiyi stood at a distance, saying coldly.

Yang Xiao stood up, staring at Liu Yiyi,

”Gong Yu was sentimental, and he didn’t kill you at the crucial moment. If he hadn’t hesitated earlier, it would be you who was severely injured. You’re truly ruthless, first the poison mist, then tossing him away. Does your conscience allow you to do this?”

Hearing this, Liu Yiyi immediately became furious:

”Shut up! In this world, the victor is king and the loser the scoundrel. Being ruthless is a skill; thus, foolish mercy only leads to disadvantages. Gong Yu must pay the price for his choices. There’s nothing to complain about. You, on the other hand, are disgusting, and I will kill you right now. It’s not your place to lecture me.”

Liu Yiyi now hated Yang Xiao intensely. It was his instigation that caused Gong Yu, who had always been devotedly on standby, to suddenly awake and even made Xie Dong doubt her, forcing her to cruelly decide to kill Gong Yu.

Yang Xiao glanced at Gong Yu on the ground and said:

”You can kill me; that’s fine. But could you wait a moment? Let me get a Detoxification Pill for Gong Yu first. After all, he stood up for me. I can’t just watch him die without doing anything...Huang Wen, go to the Genetic Store and ask the boss for two Detoxification Pills.”

Hearing this, Huang Wen dashed off immediately and returned to Yang Xiao’s side in the blink of an eye, handing him a porcelain bottle.

”Boss, Detoxification Pills.”

Yang Xiao took the bottle, took out a Detoxification Pill, and placed it in Gong Yu’s mouth.

The effect of the Detoxification Pill was indeed miraculous; shortly after Gong Yu swallowed it, the blackness on his face slowly receded and his breathing stabilized.

”Cough, cough...”

Gong Yu coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of black phlegm, and finally came around a bit.

”Gong Yu brother, are you alright?”

Yang Xiao asked.

Gong Yu looked up at Liu Yiyi in the distance and said with a bitter smile:

”I’m okay, thank you, Brother Yang Xiao.”

”Hehe, why thank me? If it wasn’t for you standing up for me, maybe it would now be me lying there. Ah, not to criticize you, but you’re too soft-hearted towards this woman. You didn’t kill her, but she was ruthless against you.”

Gong Yu gave a bitter smile, slowly stood up, and looked at Liu Yiyi in the distance.

”Liu Yiyi, from now on, our gracious ties are severed, and we owe each other nothing. From now on, if we meet, we are strangers.”

Liu Yiyi sneered:

”We were just classmates before, it was you who deluded yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Gong Yu was somewhat agitated and said:

”Fine, fine, deluded myself, today I have thoroughly awakened.”

At this moment, the onlookers began to discuss again.

”Just now Gong Yu didn’t kill Liu Yiyi, and it seems like Liu Yiyi didn’t fully harden her heart either. Otherwise, with Liu Yiyi’s Green Snake Poison Fog, she would have taken Gong Yu’s life if she was just a bit more ruthless.”

”Ah, so many years of feelings can’t just end like that, they were just angry and saying harsh words. Maybe they’ll make up tomorrow.”

”Right, that makes sense. Maybe they don’t even need to wait until tomorrow; they might make up tonight. Haha...”

”What do you think is the size of Brother Dong’s psychological shadow right now?”

”Ha ha...”

...

Xie Dong, listening to the whispers around him, felt a raging jealousy as his girlfriend and former lover were wrapped up in unresolved tensions, inevitably causing him great humiliation.

Liu Yiyi glanced at Xie Dong, saw his gloomy face deliberately avoiding her gaze, and felt a surge of discomfort in her heart. She then directed her anger towards Yang Xiao.

Liu Yiyi flicked her whip and said to Yang Xiao:

”Today, I wouldn’t be human if I don’t kill you.”

With those words, she swung her whip, which turned into a black snake and swept towards Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao knew that Liu Yiyi had reached the Intermediate Stage of Enhanced Genes, and her four genomic attributes surpassed his. He immediately retreated backwards and pulled out a bow and arrow from behind to shoot at Liu Yiyi.

To Liu Yiyi, Yang Xiao’s speed was not fast enough.

The arrow had barely flown halfway before Liu Yiyi’s whip struck it down with a sharp ”snap”.

Caught off guard, Yang Xiao shot several arrows in quick succession.

But Liu Yiyi was faster. Her whip seemed to have eyes, as it knocked down Yang Xiao’s arrows one by one.

Yang Xiao suddenly felt a chill, no wonder Gong Yu warned him not to provoke Liu Yiyi. He was indeed no match for her; the gap in their realms was a fundamental disadvantage.

Liu Yiyi sneered:

”Heh, trash will always be trash. With such little cultivation, you dare to challenge me? You’re seeking death.”

Then, Liu Yiyi’s black whip danced wildly, sealing all the directions around Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao was terrified. He kept retreating, trying desperately to dodge, but his lower cultivation level made even retreating difficult.

Liu Yiyi intended to toy with and torment Yang Xiao. If she were to kill Yang Xiao with one lash, it would hardly soothe her spite.

Huang Wen, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, and Dai Yun were anxious and about to rush over to help.

But Xie Dong’s two female companions stepped in front of them and coldly said:

”If you stand aside and watch, you might live. If you interfere, we’ll kill you now.”

The two girls had icy expressions, and an enormous aura of intimidation made Huang Wen and the others shiver.

The difference in realms was just too vast!

Gong Yu walked over and said indifferently:

”Don’t trouble them, they’re my friends.”

The two girls glanced at Gong Yu and said:

”You better keep them in line, or don’t blame us for not showing mercy.”

Despite still recovering from poisoning and not fully restored in Qi, Gong Yu, looking somewhat pale, told Huang Wen:

”Don’t get involved, you won’t be of any help. People from Magic City prefer to fight one-on-one. Winning or losing is one thing; just watch and see. Yang Xiao might not necessarily die, at least not before you all do.”

Huang Wen and the others knew their cultivation was too weak but felt anxious inside. Looking at Gong Yu,

”Gong Yu, can you save Yang Xiao? Please.”

Gong Yu replied with a wry smile:

”As you can see, it’s not that I don’t want to save Yang Xiao. I almost died trying to save him just a moment ago. Now, it’s up to him. There are still three more formidable figures who haven’t taken action yet, so you better not act rashly, or even I can’t save you.”

Gong Yu was referring to Xie Dong and two other guys.

The trio stood together, watching the fight between Liu Yiyi and Yang Xiao.

Huang Wen and the others closed their eyes, resigned to their fate.
