Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao nodded and said,

”Open the city broadcast and tell everyone that the Titan City’s City Lord is preparing to attack us, urging everyone to stand up and fight to defend their homes.”

Elder Qi was taken aback, looking at Yang Xiao,

”Is this appropriate?”

In the cities of the Central Continent, it is usually the City Guard that fights, while the citizens rarely participate in wars.

In everyone’s understanding, citizens pay protection fees monthly, and it is naturally the guards’ duty to protect them. Fighting is surely the guards’ responsibility.

Yang Xiao smiled,

”Why not appropriate? Protecting the City of Hope is just to protect everyone’s home, isn’t it? If we are defeated, where can they find such a stable, peaceful, and economically affordable home?

Just go ahead and broadcast, requesting all adult men above King Level Realm to gather outside the city and proceed to the battle for home defense,

I believe the citizens of the City of Hope are all enthusiastic and good citizens who absolutely won’t allow outsiders to invade us.”

”Alright, I will immediately arrange for people to organize.”

Yang Xiao said to Elder Qi and the others,

”Let’s go outside to confront Titan City’s army.”

Chen Peng was taken aback,

”Should we wait for the reserve citizens to gather before going together?”

Yang Xiao laughed heartily,

”I’m letting them out not for fighting but just to have them come and watch,

I just want them to see us fighting bloodily to protect the city, sacrificing our lives, hoping everyone will cherish the hard-won life and inspire their passion to love and protect their home,

A mere City Lord of Titan City—no need to let the citizens die.”

Yang Xiao said as he led the way out of the City Lord Mansion.

Elder Qi and others hurried to follow.

Outside the main gate of the City of Hope was a flat and wide grassland. It had long been constructed by Yang Xiao into a square outside the city and was also where the guards routinely trained.

Five thousand guards stood neatly in the square, highly spirited.

Yang Xiao ascended the podium and loudly said,

”Brothers, the City of Hope is the home for each of us, do you love your home?”

”Love!”

The shout of five thousand guards shook the sky.

”Now someone wants to attack us and seize our home, do you agree?”

”Don’t agree!”

”Good, follow me, let’s slash all the invading enemies.”

Yang Xiao leaped forward, with Elder Qi and the five thousand guards closely following behind, filled with killing aura.

At this moment, the broadcast inside the City of Hope started,

”Dear brothers and sisters, dear compatriots,

Now there’s an enemy force wanting to attack our City of Hope, trying to invade our home,

Our beloved Lord Yang has already led five thousand lovely guards to meet the challenge,

Defending the home is our sacred duty, Lord Yang requires every adult man above King Level Realm to gather at the front square and jointly defend our city, fiercely attack the invaders.”

For a moment, the whole city was shaken.

The citizens of the City of Hope had already exceeded more than five hundred thousand. These days, everyone felt unprecedented happiness, as in the past few months they didn’t have to pay protection fees.

Moreover, now with city construction there are plenty of job opportunities, Yang Xiao specifically instructed to ensure that each family has a woman or male labor force involved in city construction, giving each family a job and increasing their income,

Almost every family’s living standard had improved compared to before.

It was the time for everyone to happily enjoy when suddenly someone wanted to invade the castle and ruin their happy life. It was like taking their lives.

The entire city, regardless of gender or age, was extremely excited upon hearing the broadcast and rushed out together.

You should know, in Dwarf Star and Central Continent, almost everyone possesses the energy of genetic evolution and everyone has a certain combat power, just differing in capability.

Tens of thousands of people, holding various weapons, swarmed out of the city, like a tide, shouting thunderously and making the ground tremble.

The few responsible people appointed by Elder Qi desperately shouted through loudspeakers,

”Dear brothers and sisters, dear citizens, only adult men, women and elderly, children, please retreat, hide in the city’s defense light screen, the war is ruthless, don’t get accidentally injured.”

A fat woman carrying a huge axe shouted,

”Why look down on us women? Women hold up half the sky, are we women inferior to men?”

An elder over eighty years old, holding a thick iron rod,

”Damn, though I’m a bit old, I can still wield a sword to kill, these damned ones want to invade our home, I will fight with this old body to kill them.”

”How am I small? I’m just one month shy of eighteen, but I’m taller than you, and my figure is stronger than yours!”

...

Apart from children and some women with relatively low Genetic Evolution Ability, at least two hundred thousand people poured out of the city, creating a very shocking scene.

Yang Xiao and the others were waiting several kilometers ahead, and upon hearing the deafening roar behind them, they turned around to see a vast, dense crowd moving like tides, giving everyone a start.

Yang Xiao frowned,

”Elder Qi, what the hell is going on, are the whole city’s people coming out?”

Elder Qi was equally perplexed,

”I clearly ordered just the King Level Realm adult males, probably about fifty thousand people, coming out just to bolster our presence, what are these guys up to?”

As he spoke, a middle-aged man flew over and landed in front of Elder Qi.

Elder Qi reprimanded directly,

”Huang San, what are you doing, didn’t I tell you to only call out the King Level Realm adult males, why so many people, including women and children?”

Huang San replied resentfully,

”City Lord, Elder Qi, that’s what I called for, but as soon as everyone heard somebody was coming to attack our city, they went crazy, men, women, the elderly and children all rushed out, all eager to fight,

Honestly, I’ve lived in the Central Continent for thirty years and have never seen anything like this before; whenever other cities went to war, ordinary folks couldn’t escape fast enough, let alone come out to help the City Lord fight!”

Yang Xiao had no choice but to say to Elder Qi,

”Elder Qi, please go and restrain everyone, keep them at a distance, don’t stand too close.”

Elder Qi nodded and ran over with Huang San to warn the citizens to stand further back and not get agitated.

The citizens, seeing Deputy City Lord Elder Qi come out to dissuade them, gave some face and backed off a bit, standing around a kilometer away from Yang Xiao’s Guard Team.

An old man grabbed Elder Qi and said,

”Deputy City Lord, don’t underestimate us, we can fight; if anything happens, just say the word, and this old man will rush over and beat them fiercely.”

Elder Qi could only nod speechlessly.

...

A moment later, a rumbling noise came from the distant sky, and a black line appeared in the sky; in the blink of an eye, everyone saw a dense crowd.

City Lord Black Wood of Titan City and the Chief of Guards Flying Tiger flew at the forefront, their eyes lighting up when they saw Yang Xiao’s army in the distance.

”Ha-ha, these guys have good intelligence, already waiting here for us,

Everyone pay attention, prepare for battle.”

About a kilometer from Yang Xiao’s army, Black Wood led four thousand guards to land.

Both parties stood about a kilometer apart, and the air was thick with tension, ready to ignite.

Black Wood and Flying Tiger stepped forward a few paces and shouted loudly,

”On the opposite side, is that the New City Lord Yang Xiao of Death Castle? If so, come out and speak.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao stepped forward several dozen meters and shouted loudly,

”I am Yang Xiao, the City Lord of City of Hope. Are you City Lord Black Wood of Titan City?”

Black Wood laughed heartily,

”That’s right, it’s indeed me. Lord Yang, do you know why I’m here to find you?”

”If I guessed correctly, City Lord Black Wood is here to challenge me, right?”

”Exactly, I’m here to challenge you today,

Yang Xiao, you’ve stolen tens of thousands of my citizens, undermined me, smashed my livelihood; doing so is not honorable. If you don’t give me an explanation today, I’ll have to fight you with my brothers.”

Yang Xiao looked at Black Wood, sneered,

”Fight me?

How about this, let’s make a wager,

If you can take my three moves, I’ll step down as City Lord, and City of Hope will belong to you, Black Wood, from now on,

If I defeat you within three moves, I won’t ask for your Titan City, just demand you return immediately and stop bothering me; I’ve been busy lately and don’t have time to entertain you,

How about it?”

Upon hearing this, Black Wood was furious, seething with anger, shouting loudly,

”Damn kid, such arrogance; defeat me within three moves? Even if you started cultivation from the womb, it’s just two or three decades, I don’t believe it, I still can’t subdue this brat,

If I’m defeated within three moves, I’d have no face to be this city lord; I’ll directly give Titan City to you.”

Upon hearing that, both sides were baffled and deeply worried.

Yang Xiao simply said,

”Alright!”

Without further ado, he vanished and soared into the air, charging at Black Wood with a punch.

Black Wood wasn’t simple either; he roared, his whole body enveloped in electric arcs, and charged at Yang Xiao head-on.

”Boom!”

Their fists collided, shaking the heavens, and everyone a kilometer away felt their bodies jolt, flying backward.
