Chapter 275: Going It Alone (Third Update)
Fan Wei was gathering forces while sending two Flying Bird Guards to inform Yue Ying.
Before long, two hundred dedicated guards assembled urgently, joined by over a hundred others who also became part of the emergency team.
Yang Xiao arrived at the bottom of the city wall on his Flame Horse. With a neigh, flames and auspicious clouds rose underfoot. The great horse leaped into the air, onto the wall, standing in the square in front of Star Moon Tower.
With a whoosh,
Fan Wei and his three hundred men surrounded Yang Xiao.
Fan Wei had partaken in the previous battle at Star Moon Lake and had seen Yang Xiao, he immediately shouted:
"He's Yang Xiao, kill him, go!"
Instantly, various Soul Skills, Feathered Arrows, and Attack Elements bombarded towards Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao sneered, his consciousness shifted,
Sweeping Void!
The tail of a hundred-meter-long monster suddenly appeared from mid-air, thundering fiercely as it swept towards the people around it.
Then came a series of screams,
Hundreds of guards' bodies were sent flying, their blood drenching the square red.
Fan Wei had seen Yang Xiao's Sweeping Void before and knew its power. Seeing Yang Xiao use this move, he immediately retreated dozens of meters, narrowly escaping disaster.
When Fan Wei first saw Yang Xiao use the Sweeping Void, Yang Xiao was just at the Primordial Gene Advanced level, but now he had reached the Enhanced Gene Primary Level, with his power more than doubled.
The monster's huge tail swept over, and in the blink of an eye, over a hundred people died, with another hundred severely injured and lying on the ground, blood flowing everywhere, extremely tragic.
Even two Iron Tower Warriors and the owner of the Genetic Store hundreds of meters away at the entrance crinkled their brows after seeing this.
"Master, how is this kid's Soul Skill so terrifying?"
"Indeed, it seems that the effect of human genetic evolution has exceeded our expectations. He's only at the Enhanced Gene Primary Level now, and he might be even more terrifying in the future."
"Master, do we need to take any action?"
"No need. This is a war among their humans and has nothing to do with our Genetic Store. Remember, we are always neutral and do not partake in the struggles between human factions."
"Yes, master."
Fan Wei, along with the few dozen unharmed guards, retreated dozens of steps, looking at Yang Xiao with fear and trembling, and stammered:
"Yang, Yang Xiao, why are you attacking us? Didn't we give half of Star Moon Lake to you?"
Yang Xiao glanced coldly at Fan Wei and said:
"I want not just the entire Star Moon Lake, but also your people."
Fan Wei: "...@#¥%, but, I don't swing that way!"
"Shut up, who the hell wants to swing that way with you, I'm talking about the population of the entire Shanyun City, I want to annex your Shanyun City, understand?"
Yang Xiao cursed with a mix of anger and amusement.
Hearing this, Fan Wei and the others shuddered, thinking what an arrogant and presumptuous fellow!
"Heh heh, such big words. Can you swallow them? Aren't you afraid of choking?"
Amidst a roar of rage, Yue Ying led his team over. Not far behind him, more than a thousand people followed, with another four to five thousand rapidly converging on this location from various places.
At this moment, Huang Wen was leading the Flying People Team just above Star Moon Tower, and Xia Luo, leading the Elite Guards, was only a few hundred meters away from Star Moon Tower.
Originally, Yang Xiao intended to occupy Star Moon Tower Square before Yue Ying and the main force could react, but he hadn't expected Yue Ying to be no pushover either—his team responded quite swiftly and gathered their forces in such a short time.
There must be a quick battle and a quick decision!
Yang Xiao couldn't be bothered with a useless exchange with Yue Ying; riding the Flame Horse, he extended a finger at Yue Ying,
One Finger Splitting Earth!
Boom!
A huge spike rose from the ground, flipping nearly a hundred of Yue Ying's surrounding men into the air.
However, this time, Yue Ying was prepared. As soon as Yang Xiao reached out towards him, he instantly burst to the side. With his speed at the Enhanced Gene Primary Level, he had already dodged by the time the spike erupted from the ground.
Yang Xiao slightly regretted having used Sweeping Void too early; if he used it now, the effect would be better.
He couldn't think too much about it; several more moves of One Finger Splitting Earth in succession overturned hundreds of Yue Ying's front-line troops, causing chaos on the scene.
Those who were originally going to attack Yang Xiao were thrown off balance except for a dozen or so, who managed to launch their attacks while the rest in front were flipped over, appearing quite a sight though not fatally injured.
The thousand plus people led by Yue Ying wanted to rush forward to fight, but it was difficult to do so immediately.
It turned out to be Yue Ying and a dozen masters at the Primordial Gene Intermediate Stage who successfully dodged Yang Xiao's attacks and started to counterattack.
After using the fifth One Finger Splitting Earth, Yang Xiao patted the Flame Horse and, holding the Longquan Spear, directly charged at Yue Ying.
Yue Ying swung his arms, summoning a giant fish tail several dozen meters long from mid-air to smash down at Yang Xiao, like swatting a fly, with a thunderous rumble.
This was Yue Ying's Soul Skill "Fish Tail Slap," originally a group attack skill capable of killing dozens to hundreds of people at once. However, now that there was only Yang Xiao, he somewhat reluctantly used it.
Meanwhile, in midair, Huang Wen's birdmen team flew to the space above Star Moon Tower Square and were immediately intercepted by Yue Ying's birdmen team. Both sides engaged in fierce combat in the sky, unable to attend to the ground forces.
Finally, Xia Luo, leading a troop of over a thousand, reached the shore of Star Moon Lake. Everyone removed their skating boards, leapt onto the lakeside promenade, and entered the surroundings of Star Moon Lake Square.
Yang Xiao ignored the attacks from Yue Ying and the others, as the Flame Horse soared into the air, reaching its speed limit. A red cloud shifted left and right, instantly dodging all the attacks.
Yang Xiao used Two Finger Earth Split again, flipping over the people around Yue Ying, forcing him to constantly dodge and unable to attack.
The Flame Horse turned into a red cloud, charging straight at Yue Ying.
Yue Ying felt a chill in his spine. Yang Xiao, riding the Flame Horse, was like a ghost relentlessly pursuing him, no matter how he dodged, the distance between the two seemed to be closing.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Xiao charged into Yue Ying's troops, using several One Finger Splitting Earth to knock down the surrounding people and again chasing after Yue Ying.
Yue Ying steeled his heart, formed hand seals, and a gigantic catfish around forty to fifty meters long appeared in midair. The wind and clouds abruptly changed, and the giant catfish opened its vast mouth, shooting a water column imbued with Extreme Cold Energy at Yang Xiao.
The water column was huge, and the flow was rapid, like a waterfall descending from the heavens.
This was the Soul Skill "Galaxy Frozen Rain" Yue Ying acquired after evolving to the Enhanced Gene Stage. When the waterfall from the sky hit the ground, it instantly turned to ice.
Yang Xiao rode the Flame Horse, charging recklessly, with the waterfall behind him spraying, but the Flame Horse's speed was just too fast, and it could soar without touching the ground.
Poor Yue Ying's subordinates were turned into ice sculptures by the freezing waterfall one by one.
The attack of the Galaxy Frozen Rain lasted for a minute, and while Yang Xiao used One Finger Splitting Earth, he rode the Flame Horse into Yue Ying's troops. The freezing waterfall in the air poured down, chasing after Yang Xiao, instantly turning hundreds of Yue Ying's subordinates into ice pops.
