Super Gene Hunting Ground

The demon beast lord Tyrannosaurus Rex, along with two Emperor Level and three Empire Level Peak companions, was engaged in a chaotic battle with Duan Shi and three other powerful fighters.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex side already had the upper hand, suppressing Duan Shi and his companions everywhere. Duan Shi and his team were struggling to hold on, already injured in numerous places, and were in a dire state.

Yang Xiao swiftly charged forward, circling to the back, and unleashed a punch into the void aimed at Duan Shi.

Though being suppressed by the demon beast lord Tyrannosaurus Rex, Duan Shi suddenly sensed a killing aura from behind, tried to evade but couldn’t, slashed a sword towards the Tyrannosaurus Rex ahead, and released a defense light screen behind to try to block Yang Xiao’s attack.

"Bang!"

A dull sound rang out, and Duan Shi’s defensive light shield was shattered by Yang Xiao’s punch.

Duan Shi felt his body tremble, his guts seemed to tear apart, blood spurted from his mouth, and his body uncontrollably flew forward.

As a result, he crashed directly into the demon beast lord Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The Tyrannosaurus opened its huge mouth and bit down directly on Duan Shi.

Of course, the lord Tyrannosaurus was wary of eating Duan Shi directly and paused to look at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao waved his hand,

"Eat him!"

Humans consuming demon beasts can absorb evolution energy, and demon beasts consuming humans can also absorb evolution energy, especially for evolvers like Duan Shi who are of Emperor Level realm, a rare treasure for demon beasts.

The lord Tyrannosaurus heard Yang Xiao’s words, and with a "crack," bit Duan Shi into two halves, swallowing him directly.

This scene left the surrounding people in fright.

The other fighters battling against the demon beasts were the deputy city lords of Firebird City and Cold Wind Valley. At this moment, they were attacked by several Tyrannosaurus Rexes, retreating with danger looming.

Yang Xiao shouted,

"Stop!"

The several Tyrannosaurus Rexes quickly jumped back, still vigilantly watching the two, ready to attack at any time.

The lord Tyrannosaurus just ate an Emperor Level evolver like Duan Shi, increasing the desire for these demon beasts to eat the two Emperor Level evolvers before them.

The two deputy city lords glanced around, seeing the entire City of Hope battle had come to a halt. They also saw Duan Shi being devoured by the Tyrannosaurus Rex, estimating that Eight-clawed Lady and others were probably doomed as well, filling their hearts with terror.

The pair looked at Yang Xiao, a bit at a loss.

Yang Xiao said to them,

"I’m Yang Xiao, the City Lord of the City of Hope. If you two don’t want to die, follow me obediently."

With that, Yang Xiao flew toward the city’s plaza.

The two deputy city lords dared not act recklessly, as several Tyrannosaurus Rexes were eyeing them with salivating interest.

They hurriedly followed Yang Xiao to the plaza outside the city.

Arriving at the plaza, they found Suonan and Elder Ma being controlled, held aside.

At the pit ahead lay the corpse of Eight-clawed Lady.

A bit further away, the City of Hope’s guards surrounded the Alliance Army.

Looking up at a farther distance, the sky was filled with a black mass of demon beasts.

The two realized the situation was dire and knelt in front of Yang Xiao with a thud.

"Lord Yang, spare us!"

Yang Xiao glanced at them, then at the controlled Suonan and Elder Ma, and coldly said,

"Bring them over."

Chen Peng and Fan Chen escorted Suonan and Elder Ma to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao looked at the two and said:

"Do you have anything to say?"

Suonan bowed his head, begging,

"Lord Yang, as long as you spare my life, Suonan and Cold Wind Valley will bow to you as the boss, ready to heed your commands in the future."

Yang Xiao nodded and looked at Elder Ma,

"And you?"

Elder Ma hesitated for a moment, looked up at Yang Xiao with a touch of arrogance, and said,

"Lord Yang, I’ve been defeated by you today; you are strong. However, do you know who I am?"

"I don’t, who are you?"

"I am one of the ten elders of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, Ma Tian."

In Elder Ma’s mind, a small city lord like Yang Xiao wouldn’t dare openly fight against a huge organization like the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, so he felt more confident than Suonan and others, not fearing Yang Xiao killing him.

Yang Xiao listened, pondered, nodded, and smiled slightly,

"Oh, it’s Elder Ma from the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, a respect!"

Elder Ma saw Yang Xiao’s demeanor and felt delighted, believing Yang Xiao was someone who feared the powerful and bullied the weak, and began laughing heartily,

"Good, Lord Yang, those who recognize the times are wise. Though young, you understand the weight of things. Young people like you, I approve."

"Oh, to receive Elder Ma’s admiration, this junior is truly delighted."

Around them, Elder Qi, Black Wood, and others looked at Yang Xiao with a face of puzzlement.

Lord Yang’s sudden transformation? It was a stark contrast to the fearless, combative Lord Yang from earlier.

Elder Ma looked at Yang Xiao’s expression, increasingly convinced that Yang Xiao feared the power of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce and dared not touch him.

It’s understandable, as the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, although not the top organization on the Central Continent, is quite formidable; how could a city lord like Yang Xiao confront it?

"Lord Yang, today’s matter is just a misunderstanding. As long as you revert to the previous commercial system, our Vulture Chamber of Commerce will still regard you as a friend."

"Revert to the previous commercial system, how so?"

"Very simply, cancel your commercial transport teams and continue purchasing goods from our Vulture Chamber of Commerce."

Yang Xiao pondered, somewhat troubled, and said,

"Elder Ma, but having just implemented the new commercial system, it’s tough to explain to the citizens by changing it now. Procuring goods from you is possible, but the price must follow our current rules, with at least a fifty percent reduction,

Our citizens are poor; they can’t afford such expensive items."

Elder Ma sneered,

"Lord Yang, our Vulture Chamber of Commerce sets standard pricing across 238 cities in the Central Continent; how could we uniquely price for just one city?"

"Elder Ma, you’re mistaken; it’s not just one city. Look now, Titan City, City of Hope, Shuize City, Firebird City, Cold Wind Valley, all are mine—five cities, indeed."

"Haha, Lord Yang, even if you have five cities, or fifty cities, our Vulture Chamber of Commerce won’t break the rules for you."

"Oh, if that’s the case, then there’s no negotiation. Let’s talk about compensation then."

Elder Ma was taken aback, looking at Yang Xiao.

"Lord Yang, what do you mean?"

"Elder Ma, you united with Eight-clawed Lady and others to attack my City of Hope, causing significant casualties and property losses. Shouldn’t you compensate?"

"Compensation?"

Elder Ma stared at Yang Xiao in disbelief, as if seeing an alien creature.

After a moment, Elder Ma laughed loudly,

"Lord Yang, I’ve underestimated you; you’re bold enough to ask me for compensation? Do you think our Vulture Chamber of Commerce would compensate a minor city lord like you?"

"Bang!"

As Elder Ma’s words fell, he felt a tightness in his chest, his body recoiled backward by over ten meters, landing heavily on the ground,

"Wow!"

Elder Ma spat a mouthful of fresh blood.

Everyone was shocked, staring at Yang Xiao in disbelief.

Yang Xiao’s face was grim, glaring at the fallen Elder Ma, speaking in a deep voice,

"You old fool, did you really think I feared the Vulture Chamber of Commerce? You brought people to attack my city, slaughter my citizens, and destroy my possessions, expecting to slip through my fingers this easily?

Let me tell you, there’s no way,

Chen Peng!"

Chen Peng, standing nearby, already furious, heard Yang Xiao call him, and immediately responded loudly,

"Boss, here!"

"Lock up this dog thoroughly, and watch him closely. Also, detain all Vulture Chamber guards; if there’s any resistance, kill them on the spot.

Release two guards to Vulture Chamber’s headquarters to inform them; have their headquarters bring ten billion Crystal Disks over for ransom. If no one comes to ransom within three days, execute them all."
