Super Gene Hunting Ground

Liu Xing glanced at Mang Ci and smiled slightly; he was already accustomed to Mang Ci’s harassment.

Poison Snake said,

”The president of Vulture Chamber of Commerce, Duan Jinjiang, will arrive at the City of Hope in three days. Our Mr. Master promised to kill Yang Xiao within three days before Duan Jinjiang arrives. This timeline is very tight,

Liu Xing, aren’t you considering teaming up with us three?”

”Does having more people guarantee success? Just now, there were at least thirty or forty assassins from our Dark Web outside; didn’t they all fail?”

Mang Ci chuckled,

”Since Liu Xing doesn’t want to join forces, let’s not force it. We should each act individually.”

”Mang Ci, if Liu Xing won’t partner with you, I can. It’s better than you acting alone, right?”

”You’re poisonous, I’m a bit afraid, haha...”

Poison Snake gave a resentful glance at Mang Ci and sighed:

”Alas, my heart is as bright as Ming Yue, but sadly Ming Yue shines over a ditch!”

...

Flying Tiger activated the Defense Light Screen of the City of Hope, dispatching heavy troops to guard the city gates. Everyone entering the city was to be thoroughly inspected.

Chen Peng led two thousand guards, divided into twenty small groups, patrolling all the main streets inside the city. As soon as a trace was discovered, the Guard Team would immediately be summoned to besiege.

Fan Chen, Le Ting, and others also brought guards to strengthen the city’s vigilance.

Wanyan Bai, with two hundred elite members, followed closely behind Yang Xiao, not leaving his side for a moment.

After half a day’s reorganization, the City of Hope quickly calmed down and returned to normal, except that guards patrolled everywhere, maintaining a tense atmosphere.

Among the top one hundred assassins on the Dark Web assassin list, apart from a few killed by Yang Xiao or those who committed suicide upon capture, the majority were now lurking inside the city. However, they found it very difficult to strike.

Now Yang Xiao was closely protected by two hundred elite guards led by Fan Chen, and guards patrolled everywhere in the city. As soon as they launched a surprise attack, they would immediately be besieged.

The lurking assassins felt very frustrated,

”Damn, the guys who acted earlier were really stupid. They failed the mission and alarmed Yang Xiao, leaving us with no opportunity to act now.”

”Mr. Master has given us only three days. How can we complete it within these three days?”

”Ah, this is really tricky this time.”

...

The events happening in the City of Hope quickly reached the Dark Web Headquarters Valley.

Mr. Master listened quietly to his subordinate’s report, glanced at the rest of the Dark Web members present, and said,

”It seems that the mission to assassinate Yang Xiao is a bit tricky. I’m afraid Liu Xing and the others can hardly complete it within three days. Does anyone have any suggestions?”

Second Master said,

”Finishing the task of assassinating Yang Xiao within three days is indeed difficult, especially now that Yang Xiao is on guard, making it even harder for us to act. Can we negotiate with the Vulture Chamber of Commerce to extend the time a bit? Once Yang Xiao lets his guard down, Liu Xing will surely find a chance to strike.”

”How could that be okay? I’ve already promised the Second Elder of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce to finish it within three days, and I’ve received the commission. If we can’t kill Yang Xiao within three days, it would be a breach of contract on our part, and we would have to return double the commission.”

The rest were stunned, looking at Mr. Master.

Even though everyone was wearing cloaks and masks, making it impossible to see each other’s faces or eyes, the atmosphere on the scene felt somewhat oppressive.

Mr. Master was silent for a moment and said,

”I underestimated Yang Xiao. This task is something I agreed to; I’ll deal with it personally.”

”Ah? Mr. Master, you personally to the City of Hope? Would it be necessary for you to make a move? Let me go instead.”

Mr. Eight said.

Mr. Master looked at Mr. Eight and nodded,

”Alright, then I’ll entrust Mr. Eight to go to the City of Hope to kill Yang Xiao. If you can’t complete the mission, I’ll come later.”

Mr. Three laughed heartily,

”Mr. Master, aren’t you overestimating that kid Yang Xiao? Would Mr. Eight still be unable to handle him? Impossible.”

Everyone nodded slightly.

”Impossible, with Mr. Eight acting, Yang Xiao is surely doomed.”

”Mr. Eight’s Ghost Hand is known as one of the top deadly moves in the entire Central Continent. Yang Xiao, merely a city lord of a small city, definitely can’t withstand Mr. Eight’s Eighteen Consecutive Ghost Hand Strike.”

”Forcing Mr. Eight to act, Yang Xiao is indeed a formidable character. Even if he dies at the hands of Mr. Eight, it would be worth it.”

...

Everyone offered a flood of praise for Mr. Eight.

Mr. Eight also felt a bit proud and said with a smile:

”Everyone’s praise is excessive. Wait for me to return with Yang Xiao’s head; I’m quite curious to see just how formidable this Yang Xiao is, especially since Liu Xing and the team have failed the mission.”

Mr. Master paused slightly and said,

”Mr. Eight, then you hurry and return quickly. I wish you success.”

”Thank you, Mr. Master. I shall leave immediately.”

...

For an Emperor Level Transcendent Expert, several thousand kilometers was merely an hour’s journey.

By the time Mr. Eight arrived at the City of Hope, it was already evening; the sky was dark, and the City of Hope was under full lockdown, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.

Mr. Eight hesitated for a moment and decided not to enter the City of Hope. Instead, he went to Titan City, five hundred kilometers away, to find an inn and rest for the night.

Early the next morning, Yang Xiao was having breakfast in the City Lord Mansion, chatting with Wanyan Bai and the others, exchanging information about yesterday’s situation, when suddenly a thunderous roar echoed in the sky. Immediately, a guard rushed in,

”Lord Yang, something’s wrong, there’s an assassin who has directly breached the Defense Light Screen!”

Yang Xiao was taken aback,

”How many people?”

”Just one! Flying Tiger has already taken people to intercept him.”

Yang Xiao stood up and said to Wanyan Bai:

”Let’s go, let’s take a look.”

Wanyan Bai immediately informed the guards in the City Lord Mansion, and followed Yang Xiao, leaping into the sky.

At this moment, thunderous explosions resounded in the sky, two figures were chasing each other, violent Killing Aura was exploding like a nuclear blast in the air, causing distant people’s heads to buzz, houses to shake, making hearts tremble.

”Boom!”

Another loud explosion erupted, a figure flew backward from the sky.

Seeing this, Yang Xiao quickly flew over to catch the shadow; it was Flying Tiger.

Flying Tiger was coughing up blood profusely, his chest was a bloody mess.

Yang Xiao promptly stuffed a Healing Pills into Flying Tiger’s mouth.

Flying Tiger swallowed the Healing Pills, steadied his body, gasped for a while, then spat out another mouthful of blood, saying to Yang Xiao, who was supporting him:

”Boss, the opponent is Mr. Eight from the Dark Web, too powerful, I’m not his match, be careful.”

In the materials Elder Qi collected for Yang Xiao on the forces of the Central Continent, the Dark Web was included.

Yang Xiao paused and said:

”So it was the Dark Web who tried to assassinate us yesterday, no wonder their assassination is so professional and ruthless. Who is this Mr. Eight?”

”The supreme leader of the Dark Web Organization is called Mr. Master, under him are Mr. Second, Mr. Third, up to Mr. Ninth, each one is an Emperor Level Transcendent Expert.”

Yang Xiao said to Wanyan Bai beside him,

”Take care of Flying Tiger, I’ll deal with this Mr. Eight.”

Flying Tiger quickly shouted,

”Boss, Mr. Eight is just one person, there’s no need for you to fight him head-on, we have tens of thousands of Guard Army, everyone can wear him down to death collectively.”

Yang Xiao laughed and said,

”If the other several Mr. Masters from the Dark Web come, should we block their attack with the whole city’s people’s bodies?”

Yang Xiao patted Flying Tiger’s shoulder, floated up in the air, and flew to the distance.

Mr. Eight stood in the sky, hands behind his back, wearing a brown robe, with a black wide-brimmed hat on, covered with a layer of black gauze, shrouding his entire head, down to his neck.

After defeating Flying Tiger, Mr. Eight didn’t pursue, instead waited in the sky; he believed Yang Xiao would definitely come out.

Yang Xiao stood far away, cupping his hands towards Mr. Eight,

”You are Mr. Eight from the Dark Web?”

”Correct!”

”Did someone hire you to assassinate me?”

”Yes.”

”Who?”

”Our business rules do not allow us to disclose client information.”

”Haha, even if you don’t say, I can probably guess, it should be someone from the Vulture Chamber of Commerce who hired you, right?”

Mr. Eight paused, then calmly said,

”How you guess is your business, however, before you die, I need to confirm one thing.”

”Speak.”

”You are the City Lord of the City of Hope, Yang Xiao?”

”Yes!”

”Alright, then I won’t kill the wrong person, I’m not interested in massacring the entire city, so please cooperate. If you hide, I wouldn’t mind killing everyone in the city; I’ve heard you’re quite good to the common people.”

After hearing this, Yang Xiao smiled faintly,

”Are you sure you can kill me?”

”Haha, indeed arrogant, if I can’t kill you, then I’m no longer Mr. Eight.”

”Then you should be called Wang Ba?”

”What is Wang Ba?”

”Wang Ba is an animal from an alien planet, crawls on the ground with four legs, likes to eat feces.”

Mr. Eight was stunned, then furiously said,

”Brat, even at death’s door you dare curse me, I’ll show you a fate worse than death.”

After saying this, Mr. Eight raised his right hand and made a sweeping motion towards Yang Xiao.

A dark claw, dozens of meters long, pierced through the air, carrying a fierce Killing Aura.

A mass of dark clouds rolled around.
