Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Nobody Leaves (Third Update, Please Subscribe)

Yang Xiao exchanged a glance with Huang Wen and the others, signaling their intention to leave.

With a flash, four figures stood in front of Yang Xiao and his friends. They were Xie Dong’s companions.

”Trying to leave?” one of the youths sneered, looking at Yang Xiao.

As Yang Xiao was about to speak, Gong Yu stepped forward to block him and said,

”Zhang Lei, don’t make a fuss, this has nothing to do with you.”

”Ha, what a joke. How is this none of my business? Liu Yiyi and Xie Dong are both our good friends, and Liu Yiyi got hit by this kid. As a member of Magic City University, you are actually taking their side. Gong Yu, what are you trying to imply?”

Clearly, Zhang Lei and his companions were not afraid of Gong Yu, as their Evolution Levels were only higher, not lower than his.

Gong Yu steeled his heart, drew out two Lightning Spears from behind his back, clenched his teeth, and said,

”They are my friends. They’ve already settled their issue with Liu Yiyi. If you four still insist on interfering, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Gong Yu was always so confident, exuding a defiant and domineering aura. Of course, in Yang Xiao’s heart, there was also a sense of loyalty that touched him deeply.

Yang Xiao patted Gong Yu on the shoulder to express his gratitude, then raised his head and said to Zhang Lei and company,

”I can stay, but let’s be clear, I’m the one Liu Yiyi has a grudge with. If you want to get involved, fine, but could you let my friends go and let them leave?”

Yang Xiao gestured towards Huang Wen and the others beside him.

At this point, Yang Xiao’s only wish was to ensure the safety of Huang Wen and the others. As for himself, he would fight if he could, and run if he must. At this moment, his spirit soared bravely and without fear, with no concern for life or death, ready to face any dire situation with hope for survival after desperation.

Zhang Lei and the others were of course aware of the fight between Yang Xiao and Liu Yiyi, and held a degree of wariness towards Yang Xiao. They were unaware that Yang Xiao’s Sweeping Void Soul Skill could only be used every half an hour. In their minds, if Yang Xiao could continuously use the Sweeping Void, he would indeed be difficult to deal with.

After exchanging looks, the four nodded to each other and said,

”Your friends can leave, but you must stay. Wait for Brother Dong to deal with this. If Brother Dong says you can go, we won’t stop you.”

”Absolutely not! Yang Xiao, if you don’t leave, we definitely won’t leave either.”

Huang Wen said loudly, standing chest out beside Yang Xiao.

”If we die, we die together!”

Qin Yu also resolutely stood beside Yang Xiao.

”Yang Xiao, don’t you even think about leaving us behind. We’re sticking with you.”

Deng Xiao, Chen Fei, and Dai Yun, with teary eyes, said so.

Yang Xiao became frantic and hissed at Huang Wen and the others,

”If I tell you to go, just go. What’s all the fuss about? Are you so eager to share a grave with me? You’re neither my wife nor my lover—who gave you the right to share a grave with me?”

But Huang Wen and the others didn’t care what Yang Xiao said, showing a determined attitude.

”Ha, you think you can leave? Today nobody escapes.”

A cold voice came from afar, as Xie Dong, holding Liu Yiyi’s hand, slowly approached.

Bloodstains hung from the corners of Liu Yiyi’s mouth, and her chest was stained red with blood from vomiting, looking rather disheveled.

Yang Xiao’s Sweeping Void was indeed terrifying. If it hadn’t been for Xie Dong’s silk strings pulling her at that moment, even with Liu Yiyi’s Enhanced Gene Intermediate Stage and over 50 points of Defense, she would have been swept away to death.

Watching Xie Dong approach, seething with Killing Aura, Yang Xiao suddenly felt a surge of indomitable defiance and sneered:

”If you want to detain us, then let’s see if you have what it takes.”

”Is that so? I admit your Soul Skill just now was quite formidable, but I’m not afraid of you.”

Xie Dong had just used his silk threads to slightly pull on Yang Xiao’s sweeping giant beast tail, feeling that with his cultivation, he could resist Yang Xiao’s Soul Skill. Had it not been for Huang Wen’s group of four attacking him together with the Giant Eagle in the sky, especially the Giant Eagle’s hundreds of Fiery Feathered Arrows that severed the silk threads, he would have been able to completely block Yang Xiao’s attack on Liu Yiyi.

Gong Yu took out two Small Blood Pills and popped them into his mouth, holding the Lightning Spear in both hands, he said to Xie Dong:

”Xie Dong, Liu Yiyi has been defeated in her duel with Yang Xiao. Had it not been for your intervention just now, she would be dead. In a fair fight, we accept the consequences of gambling; this has always been the tradition of Magic City University. I was knocked unconscious by Liu Yiyi, but I didn’t see you coming out to uphold justice then!”

Xie Dong looked down on Gong Yu with disdain and said coldly:

”This matter is none of your business. If you know what’s good for you, screw off.”

”Ha ha, Brother Dong really has quite the presence! Well, I’ll tell you the truth then, Yang Xiao is my friend. If you want to leave him behind today, you’ll have to step over my dead body.”

Knowing that it was pointless to be courteous at this time, Yang Xiao immediately stood shoulder to shoulder with Gong Yu and loudly declared:

”Brother Gong Yu, I’ve not befriended you in vain. Today, we shall either die together or live!”

”Right!”

Gong Yu replied excitedly.

Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and Deng Xiao suddenly spread their wings and flew into the sky.

This time, Gong Yu’s Giant Eagle also joined the other two Giant Eagles mid-air, fighting side by side.

Gong Yu suddenly laughed:

”Brother Yang Xiao, we may not necessarily lose. My Giant Eagle is also at the Intermediate stage of Enhanced Gene. With your two Giant Eagles plus you and me, heh, Xie Dong, it will be really difficult for you to detain us unless we all perish.”

Gong Yu’s words brightened the hearts of Yang Xiao and the others. They had neglected to consider the three Giant Eagles before.

The Giant Eagle brought by Huang Wen was also at the Intermediate stage of Enhanced Gene. The younger Giant Eagle was currently at the Advanced stage of Primordial Gene. Including Gong Yu’s Giant Eagle, it was like having two high-level masters at the Intermediate stage of Enhanced Gene.

Coupled with Gong Yu, they had three Intermediate stage masters on their side. Even though Yang Xiao was only at the Advanced stage of Primordial Gene, his Soul Skill, if combined effectively, could also not be underestimated.

On Xie Dong’s side, with Liu Yiyi injured and temporarily unable to join the fight, there was only Xie Dong and four others left. While they still had the advantage, it wasn’t an overwhelming one.

The onlookers also carefully weighed each side’s strengths and weaknesses. Although they still favored Xie Dong’s side to win, after witnessing Yang Xiao’s Soul Skill, they were no longer as optimistic as before.

With over a hundred experts from different regions watching, Xie Dong wasn’t going to let it go easily.

Xie Dong pulled a silver long spear from his weapons pack on his back, holding it in both hands, he proudly said:

”Fine, Gong Yu. Since you are willing to risk your life for your friend and oppose me, I will give you a chance. I won’t use the Beast Soul, and with just this long spear in my hand, any one of you come forward and fight me one on one. If you win this long spear, today’s matter will be wiped clean. How about it?”

Upon uttering these words, the arena fell silent.

Xie Dong was actually challenging everyone on Yang Xiao’s side to a one-on-one fight!

”Brother Dong is really impressive, such dominance!”

”That’s the responsibility of a leader!”

”I give my thumbs up for Brother Dong.”

...

The approval from the crowd reached Xie Dong’s ears, enhancing his already sky-high arrogance.
