Super Gene Hunting Ground

Ba Tianhu waved his hand confidently and said,

"Rest assured, within three days, I will send someone to find Yang Xiao to solve this problem for you."

"Thank you, boss!"

Duan Jinjiang quickly bowed again.

Three days later, Ba Tianhu dispatched the Deputy City Lord, Chi Qing, along with several guards, Duan Jinjiang, Ma Xiaotian, and other members of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, directly to the City of Hope.

"Brother Chi Qing, are you going alone to find Yang Xiao?"

Duan Jinjiang was very puzzled. He had already asked this question back in Ba Tianhu’s Sky Tiger City, but Ba Tianhu just laughed and said,

"The first time I went to find Yang Xiao, I sent Deputy City Lord Chi Qing. It’s already giving him a lot of face. What, do you want me to go personally?"

"Boss, that’s not what I meant. What I mean is, perhaps you should send a few more people to boost Lord Chi Qing’s momentum and courage. Yang Xiao is not an easy opponent!"

"Haha, that’s not necessary. Chi Qing is at the Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm. No matter how strong Yang Xiao is, he cannot possibly surpass Chi Qing. You can just follow him with peace of mind."

Duan Jinjiang was anxious the entire journey. Now, standing outside the gates of the City of Hope and recalling his previous encounter here, he was slightly fearful and couldn’t help but mention it to Chi Qing again.

Chi Qing sneered,

"President Duan, in a fight like this, it’s not about the numbers. No matter how strong Yang Xiao is, he’s only at the Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm. What’s there to fear?

If you’re afraid of Yang Xiao, then don’t enter the city. Wait for me outside. I’ll come find you after I’m done."

Duan Jinjiang immediately laughed and said,

"I trust Brother Chi Qing. With you here, I’m at ease. I was merely concerned for you and thought I’d remind you."

Chi Qing led the group towards the gates of the City of Hope.

The City of Hope was bustling with people coming and going.

Besides the residents working the fields, there were numerous small traders from dozens of nearby cities coming here to stock up on goods.

The wholesale prices in the City of Hope were more than half cheaper than those of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, which attracted many upon hearing the news.

Initially, it was just tentative attempts. When they found out they could buy goods of equal quality at just half the price, the news spread from one to ten, then from ten to a hundred, drawing many traders here to stock up.

In fact, the business of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce in dozens of nearby cities had already faced a severe blow, which was why Duan Jinjiang desperately sought help from Ba Tianhu.

If Yang Xiao wasn’t stopped, the Vulture Chamber of Commerce would truly be on the verge of disbanding.

Chi Qing swaggered to the city gate.

At the city gate, a team of guards maintained order daily.

The lead guard captain glanced at Chi Qing and then at Duan Jinjiang behind him.

While he didn’t recognize Chi Qing, he did know Duan Jinjiang. Just some time ago, when Duan Jinjiang led five thousand people to the City of Hope, the guard captain at the gate had seen his face and remembered it well.

"Oh, isn’t this President Duan? What a rare visitor! What brings you to our City of Hope? Is there something you need?"

The guard captain remained vigilant, and after speaking, he glared at the dozen or so companions behind him.

Once those dozen guards heard it was President Duan from the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, they immediately grew alert and surrounded him, standing behind the captain with hands on their longswords, adopting a combat-ready stance.

Duan Jinjiang chuckled, pointed at Chi Qing in front, and shouted loudly,

"Brothers, let me introduce someone to you. This is the famous and formidable Chi Qing, Deputy City Lord of Sky Tiger City and a trusted aide of Ba Tianhu. He is renowned across the entire Central Continent.

Kneel before Lord Chi Qing!"

Duan Jinjiang was extremely proud. He knew that just mentioning Chi Qing’s name would surely terrify these guards.

Indeed, the guard captain and the dozens of guards behind shuddered upon hearing it, their hearts sinking.

Someone from Ba Tianhu’s side, said to be at the Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm, not easy to provoke.

Moreover, Chi Qing was nicknamed the Face-Less Assassin, known for his ruthlessness and merciless methods.

The guard captain, stunned for a moment, looked at Chi Qing, clasped his fists, bowed slightly, and said,

"Ah, it’s Lord Chi Qing from Sky Tiger City, my apologies!"

Like Ba Tianhu, Chi Qing belonged to the Giant Clan from the Dwarf Star, standing about three meters tall at the city gate, more than a meter taller than the guards. His powerful aura was domineering, overwhelming everyone around.

Chi Qing coldly said,

"Enough chit-chat. I’m here to see your City Lord Yang Xiao. Lead the way."

The guard captain was taken aback and promptly said,

"May I know what business Lord Chi Qing has with our Lord Yang? I need to report it first."

Chi Qing sneered,

"Does your Lord Yang have such a big pomp? I show up, and you still need to report it? Just lead me over now."

With that, he lifted his foot and marched into the city gate.

The guard captain was anxious and deftly blocked Chi Qing’s path, shouting loudly,

"Hold it!"

The shout lacked confidence, but at least it was voiced.

Chi Qing, seeing that such a small city guard captain dared to block his path, immediately flew into a rage,

"You punk, dare to block my way? Are you seeking death?"

"I dare not, but, for Lord Chi Qing to meet our Lord Yang, according to protocol, I need to report first so that Lord Yang can be prepared to receive you."

"Haha, no need. Either you lead the way, or I’ll find him myself. Don’t block my way, move aside!"

Some unknown strength seemed to surge in that city gate guard sergeant, who suddenly shouted,

"Brothers, someone’s forcing their way into the city, sound the alarm, and notify the City Lord immediately."

The dozen guards, hearing this, swiftly stood behind the guard captain, pulling out their longswords with a swish, pointing them at Chi Qing.

One of the guards sprinted into the city.

"Courting death!"

Chi Qing roared, throwing a punch at the guard captain blocking him.

The captain knew he was no match but didn’t back down a bit, bellowing as he swung his longsword, tearing through the void towards Chi Qing.

The dozens of guards behind him also launched an attack, their steel blades slicing through the air, weaving into a web of battle surrounding Chi Qing.

The guard running into the city shouted loudly,

"Assassin! Activate the Defense Light Screen, hurry!"

"Boom!"

A loud crash,

The guard felt his body tremble, instantly losing consciousness, his body blasted backward, crashing into the ones behind him, colliding into the guard who had run into the city.

Bang!

That guard was also sent flying.
