Chapter 281 Giant Frog Devours the Sky
The entire field suddenly erupted in gasps of shock.
Who dares to meddle in the dispute between Magic City and the Qingyun Team?
A tall and majestic Flame Horse stood in the center of the arena, on its back a handsome young man was holding a glinting Longsword.
At the critical moment, Tan Lin's Beast Soul was shattered, reverting to human form he stood there stupefied, and the rest of the fighters who were in battle were also startled by this unexpected turn of events, promptly ceasing their combat.
Members of Qingyun Team rushed to Tan Lin's side, anxiously inquiring about their leader's injuries.
Zhou Yu, Xi Hui, and the others also hurried to Zhou Jian's side. Zhou Yu was overjoyed to see Yang Xiao, about to speak, but Yang Xiao gestured with his hand,
"Hurry and save Zhou Jian."
Xi Hui and the others had already helped Zhou Yu up, patting his back, thumping his chest, prising open his mouth, and stuffing in a Small Blood Pill.
Finally, Zhou Jian caught his breath, the stuffiness in his chest relieved, he coughed lightly a few times, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes.
"Boss, boss, you've come around."
Zhou Yu and the others shouted excitedly, a weight finally lifted from their hearts.
"It was Brother Yang Xiao who came, he saved you."
Xi Hui whispered into Zhou Jian's ear.
Zhou Jian was taken aback, immediately turning his head and seeing Yang Xiao, his heart warmed, he quickly stood up and said to Yang Xiao:
"Thank you, Brother Yang, for the rescue."
"Hehe, no need for thanks."
At this moment, Tan Lin had swallowed a Small Blood Pill, the cut on his tongue had stopped bleeding, but it seemed that Yang Xiao had chopped off a small part of his tongue, causing a speech impairment.
"Glurgle, glurgle..."
Tan Lin suddenly realized he could not speak clearly, stricken with fright.
When a person transforms into a Beast Soul to fight, the Beast Soul becomes their very self, injury to the Beast Soul means injury to oneself.
Tan Lin was immediately seized with rage, pointing at Yang Xiao, roaring:
"You, you..."
He wanted to question, "Who are you? Why are you interfering in our affairs?"
But he could not articulate properly, both anxious and angry.
A teammate beside him immediately spoke up for him: "Kid, who are you? Why are you interfering in our dispute with Magic City?"
The battle between Qingyun Team and Magic City Team, with Qingyun Team initially having the upper hand, needed just a moment more to kill Zhou Jian and would have utterly defeated Magic City Team; nobody expected someone to suddenly intervene, causing the situation to reverse instantly.
Under normal circumstances, no one dares to engage lightly in conflicts between the teams from Wentian City, Magic City, Zongli City, and Qingyun City.
Yang Xiao, mounted on his horse, smiled faintly and said:
"Zhou Jian is my brother, can I stand by and watch you kill my brother?"
Upon his words, everyone fell silent.
Yang Xiao's justification was unassailable, leaving no room for others to contest.
"Do you know the consequences of provoking our Qingyun Team?"
Qingyun Team's ferocity in the desert these past few months was well-known; aside from the people of Wentian City and Magic City, even those from Zongli City dared not provoke Qingyun Team.
Yang Xiao disregarded the Qingyun Team members' questioning, turned his head to glance at Zhou Jian, and asked:
"Are you alright?"
"Thanks, Brother Yang, I'm fine now."
Yang Xiao finally relaxed and then addressed the people from Qingyun City:
"What are the consequences of provoking you? It seems that I should have cut off your tongue from the edge of your mouth, then your entire tongue would be useless, and you'd have trouble even eating."
"You, bastard! You're courting death!"
Tan Lin could only utter the word "you", while the rest, "bastard, courting death" became muffled and unclear.
Although Yang Xiao had just cut off the tongue of Tan Lin's Beast Soul, it didn't mean he was especially adept, because when Tan Lin used his tongue to bind Zhou Jian, it was his defense's weakest moment. He was careless for a moment, thinking that no one would dare to attack him—after all, the reputation of Qingyun Team was well known, not everyone dare provoke them.
Tan Lin's injury to his tongue didn't affect his Combat Power much; he could still use his Beast Soul and Soul Skill. Only the Beast Soul's tongue might be somewhat affected since it was cut off partially, making it hard to recover in a short time.
Tan Lin held extreme hatred for Yang Xiao and didn't waste words. With a roar of anger, he charged at Yang Xiao with a golden trident in hand.
An image of the cartoon "The Calabash Brothers", where a frog monster wielded a steel fork, flashed through Yang Xiao's mind, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Tan Lin got even angrier. Damn it, still laughing? I want you dead.
His golden trident transformed into a streak of light, thrusting at Yang Xiao.
Tan Lin's Genetic Evolution Level was close to Enhanced Gene Advanced, with 48 points in the Agility Attribute, making him extremely fast.
Of course, what he didn't expect was that although Yang Xiao was only at the Primary Level of Enhanced Gene, his Agility had already reached 50 points, making his speed even higher than Tan Lin's.
When a person's Agility attribute is high, not only is their speed quickened, their visual system also changes, allowing them to catch various attack trajectories of their opponent in advance and react accordingly.
If Yang Xiao's Agility had been lower than Tan Lin's, he might only be able to vaguely sense the approach of the attack and would need to dodge in advance. But now with a higher Agility, Yang Xiao could clearly see the trajectory of Tan Lin's attack.
Even if Yang Xiao couldn't see it clearly, his Flame Horse could sense Tan Lin's attacks and proactively dodge. The Flame Horse's Agility attribute was much higher than Tan Lin's.
Everyone only saw a flash of red cloud, and Tan Lin's golden trident stabbed empty air.
Tan Lin internally exclaimed in surprise. How could this kid react so swiftly? His genetic evolution level isn't below my own.
He originally thought that Yang Xiao was just at the Intermediate level of Enhanced Gene, and that he should be able to defeat him, but he didn't expect Yang Xiao to have a faster reaction time than his own.
Tan Lin immediately dismissed his underestimating attitude, planted the trident in the sand before him, and quickly changed hand motions in front of him.
"Ribbit!"
In the sky, a massive frog tens of meters tall appeared, emanating a ferocious aura, opening its huge mouth, and pounced toward Yang Xiao.
"Careful, Yang Xiao! That's his Soul Skill, Giant Frog Devours the Sky!" Zhou Jian shouted loudly.
The onlooking crowd also retreated a hundred meters again, evidently, many were aware of the power of Tan Lin's Soul Skill.
At this moment, even Luo Manli and Cai Liang, who were catching fish in the Underground River, were disturbed.
"Sister Manli, Tan Lin from Qingyun City has started fighting with Yang Xiao."
"Yang Xiao? Who is that?"
Luo Manli couldn't remember for a moment because she hadn't seen Yang Xiao around these past two days.
"It's the Yang Xiao who killed the boss!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Manli immediately leaped onto the shore and ran towards the battleground.
Hearing the news, Cai Liang and others also rushed over.
In their hearts, they all hoped that Yang Xiao would get a thorough beating by Tan Lin, to vent the pent-up frustration.
When they first heard the news that Zhou Jian and others were defeated by Tan Lin, they felt a surge of satisfaction.
At this moment, in the sky, the giant frog tens of meters tall opened its green massive mouth, stretched out its thick and huge tongue, and wrapped it around Yang Xiao.
A terrifying Killing Aura surged in the air.
