Super Gene Hunting Ground

Early the next morning, after Yang Xiao and his group had breakfast, they set off towards a place 200 kilometers away in the Flying Leopard Mountain Range.

Three masters hidden behind them hesitated for a moment but quietly followed along.

New ideas suddenly emerged in their minds.

The three of them, having pursued Xiao He this whole time without hunting demon beasts or acquiring crystal cores, were now tempted by the rewards offered by Headmaster Xinghai. The two-star divine weapon, the Dragon Slayer Sword, was extremely attractive and couldn’t even be compared to a hundred billion crystal coins.

Divine weapons are definitely scarce items with a price yet no market. Even a one-star divine weapon is unavailable for purchase, let alone a two-star one.

When the three initially accepted the mission to assassinate Xiao He, they did not expect Headmaster Xinghai to offer such a unique reward.

Now that they have accepted the task, they cannot withdraw halfway, or they will face double compensation and even other threats.

In tracking Yang Xiao these days, they found the team’s demon beast hunting quantity and level to be impressive. If Yang Xiao and his group entered the forbidden zone and managed to hunt some empire-level advanced realm demon beasts, then the achievements of Yang Xiao’s team might become the highest among all the hunting teams in Flying Leopard Academy.

These three masters are highly clever individuals, and this thought actually existed two days ago. Now seeing Yang Xiao’s group entering the forbidden zone, this idea becomes more intensified and suddenly emerges.

The situation has taken a subtle change.

If they are hoping Yang Xiao’s group will hunt more demon beasts, then they cannot launch an attack on Xiao He for now.

More critically, the three must guard against being ambushed by the other two trying to seize advantage. The best outcome is if the other two rush to assassinate Yang Xiao, then fight amongst themselves, culminating in a ”battle of the gull and clam, benefiting the fisherman.”

...

After Yang Xiao’s group entered the forbidden zone 200 kilometers away, they traveled more than ten kilometers when suddenly, there was a roar ahead, and the ground shook; a saber-toothed tiger nearly fifty meters long leaped in front of them, causing all the towering trees around to collapse audibly.

”Holy shit!”

Everyone gasped; it was their first time seeing such a massive saber-toothed tiger.

The tiger’s eyes were like two giant lanterns glaring at them, growling lowly with a soul-stirring pressure.

This was a demon beast of empire-level advanced realm.

The saber-toothed tiger opened its huge mouth and emitted a muffled sound:

”You humans have trespassed into my territory, are you here to perish?”

Above empire-level demon beasts can transform into human shape, but to wield their maximum combat power, they must revert to beast form. Even in human shape, they retain strong beast features, making them easily identifiable.

Thus, even if demon beasts transform into humans, they cannot blend into human society, preferring not to transform; they mostly remain in beast form.

This was the first time Yang Xiao’s group encountered a demon beast above empire-level advanced realm since entering Flying Leopard Mountain Range.

Yang Xiao drew out the Bronze Divine Sword, smirked coldly:

”I want to borrow something.”

”Roar, what is it?”

”Your life!”

After he spoke, Yang Xiao thrust his Bronze Divine Sword towards the saber-toothed tiger, a fierce killing aura suddenly expanded 40 to 50 meters, cleaving the void.

Meanwhile, Xiao He and Gong Yu launched attacks too, two violent killing auras attacked the saber-toothed tiger,

Additionally, Xiao Gang’s massive hammer broke through the air towards the saber-toothed tiger.

”Roar——”

The saber-toothed tiger roared, leaped aside avoiding the four’s attack, jumped into the air, swiping its paw at Yang Xiao in the void with a thunderous tiger claw crashing before him.

Yang Xiao felt the void ahead fracture abruptly, the aura of death rising from his heart.

Yang Xiao performed an instantaneous movement to swiftly dodge backward while slashing with his Bronze Divine Sword at the descending giant tiger claw.

”Boom”

The massive tiger claw was directly shattered by the killing aura of Yang Xiao’s Bronze Divine Sword.

The saber-toothed tiger was quite adept, attacking Yang Xiao while swiping at Xiao He with one claw, spraying a furious wind blade at Gong Yu, and simultaneously sweeping its tail dozens of meters long at Xiao Gang.

Yang Xiao, Xiao He, and Gong Yu each repelled the saber-toothed tiger’s attacks utilizing their divine weapons. Xiao Gang, however, collided his flying giant hammer with the saber-toothed tiger’s immense tail, which sent him retreating several meters, his blood surging.

But in the next moment, Yang Xiao, Xiao He, and Gong Yu launched a left-center-right assault on the saber-toothed tiger, three fierce killing auras, the saber-toothed tiger dodged two places but had one tiger claw chopped off by Gong Yu’s divine weapon sword energy.

”Roar——”

With an angry roar from the saber-toothed tiger, the forest trembled,

a fan-shaped golden light ring shattered the void towards the four.

Xiao Gang’s face changed color, shouting loudly:

”Run, this demon beast is desperate!”

Yang Xiao didn’t understand why Xiao Gang shouted so; immediately, his Bronze Divine Sword trembled before him, stabbing towards the shooting golden light ring.

”Buzz!”

Yang Xiao felt the longsword in his hand tremble, his body retreating involuntarily several steps, and a strong rebound force transmitted through the Bronze Divine Sword into his body, causing his blood to surge and dizziness.

Xiao Gang had already leaped into the air, performing instantaneous movement to dodge dozens of meters away.

Gong Yu, like Yang Xiao, opted to withstand the blow with the Broken Rainbow Sword.

”Bang!”

Gong Yu’s body flew backward, crashed onto a large tree and broke the meter-diameter trunk directly, spewing blood.

Xiao He, like Yang Xiao, stabbed towards the golden light ring with his longsword, his body rebounded several meters back, his blood surging.

Wang Qian and Cui Yuan had hidden hundreds of meters away early on and weren’t directly attacked, but even they were affected by the residual power of the golden light ring, feeling their blood surge, their ears ringing, and heads dizzy.

”Roar——”

The saber-toothed tiger opened its large mouth again, roaring angrily at Yang Xiao’s group.

Another golden fan-shaped light ring flew out,

this time, the golden fan-shaped light ring automatically divided into four parts, shooting toward Yang Xiao, Xiao He, Gong Yu, and Xiao Gang, faster and more powerful than before.

”Fight!”

Xiao Gang roared angrily, wielding his massive hammer emitting silver light, breaking through the air.

”Boom!”

With a loud noise, Xiao Gang’s body was blasted backward a line of blood scattered from the air.

Yang Xiao, though unaware of the saber-toothed tiger’s state, knew the situation was critical—he must disrupt the saber-toothed tiger’s attack to prevent Xiao He and Gong Yu’s lives from being endangered.

In an instant, Yang Xiao activated the soul skill ”Burst,” increasing attribute values by 10% and combat power by 50%, executing the Shaolin Temple’s Dragon Subduing and Elephant Taming Divine Skill and wielding the Golden Bee Sword Skill with the Bronze Divine Sword,

nine enormous sword shadows broke through the air with rampant killing aura, colliding head-on with the saber-toothed tiger’s thunderous gold light ring attack.

”Boom!”

In a deafening sound,

Yang Xiao shattered the saber-toothed tiger’s golden light ring.

At the same time, Xiao Gang and Gong Yu also thrust their swords at the attacking light rings; Gong Yu executed the Bamboo Leaf Sword Technique, while Xiao Gang used an extremely powerful swordsmanship, covering the sky with sword shadows before him.

As Yang Xiao’s single stroke smash the saber-toothed tiger’s attack light ring, he didn’t pause but performed an instantaneous movement, charging before the saber-toothed tiger’s massive body with sword in both hands, soaring sword energy, striking fiercely at the saber-toothed tiger.

”Bang!”

”Bang!”

Two explosive sounds, Gong Yu was again knocked away by the saber-toothed tiger’s light ring, spewing blood.

Xiao He flew backward, crashing into a large tree, with a ”snap” sound breaking it,

Xiao He hit the ground, spitting a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, Yang Xiao’s Bronze Divine Sword struck fiercely, brimming with annihilating killing aura.

The saber-toothed tiger hastily deployed a golden defensive light shield while moving its enormous body, preparing to dodge Yang Xiao’s attack.

Dozens of meters of raging sword energy, clove the void with mountain-cleaving might,

slash down in one strike!

”Snap!”

The saber-toothed tiger’s defense light screen shattered,

In the next second,

The saber-toothed tiger let out a tragic scream,

”Aow——”

Its giant head split into two halves by Yang Xiao’s sword energy.

Just then, three silhouettes swiftly flew from the dense forest nearby, lunging at the injured Gong Yu and Xiao He on the ground.
