Yang Xiao was about to reply when Gong Yu had already charged forward with a Lightning Spear in both hands.

"Fine, since you said so, let me take you on."

Gong Yu flashed and immediately rushed in front of Xie Dong, thrusting his spear at Xie Dong.

Xie Dong sneered coldly, and his long spear instantly blocked Gong Yu’s spear, igniting a fierce battle between the two.

Xie Dong’s long spear was nearly three meters long, while Gong Yu’s Lightning Spear was only about one and a half meters. As the saying goes, an inch shorter entails more danger, and an inch longer grants more strength.

Xie Dong had an advantage in genetic evolution, and likewise in the use of weapons.

However, Gong Yu had always been good at close combat, exceptionally brave, with good strength, agility, defense, and technique, and moreover, Gong Yu had his own advantages.

Yang Xiao noticed that Gong Yu’s fighting style was extremely fierce; he held a Lightning Spear in each hand, each thrust aiming at the opponent’s vital points, completely defenseless.

To everyone else, Gong Yu seemed too exposed, seemingly easy to strike down, yet if one only focused on Gong Yu’s openings, even if you killed Gong Yu, you would also be killed by him.

Compared to Gong Yu, Xie Dong, although having an advantage in genetic attributes, did not have an overwhelming advantage. Each of their four attributes only surpassed Gong Yu by around 3 to 5 points, and on a base of over 50 attribute points, 3 to 5 points did not offer a substantial advantage.

Xie Dong’s spearing speed was faster than Gong Yu, but not fast enough to kill Gong Yu in one strike. Gong Yu adopted a mutually destructive tactic, without any defense, recklessly attacking; Xie Dong was truly at a loss for what to do with him for the moment.

Even the spectators couldn’t help but admire Gong Yu’s ferocity.

"Gong Yu, have you gone mad!"

Xie Dong yelled, furious; he never intended to fight Gong Yu to the death, not to mention exchanging his life for Gong Yu’s, which felt like a huge loss.

Gong Yu didn’t answer, his dual spears flickering with electric arcs, rolling up and down, stabbing continuously at Xie Dong’s vital points, forcing Xie Dong to keep retreating.

"Fine, since you want to fight to the death, let’s see how many lives you have."

Xie Dong bellowed, and his long spear suddenly changed, a thrust created ten spear shadows flashing forward, piercing through the void, and thrusting towards Gong Yu.

The surrounding crowd gasped in astonishment.

This was the most basic Silver Snake Spear Technique, and Xie Dong had actually mastered it to its highest level.

Usually, it is difficult to achieve the highest level with a basic spear technique. While hunting monsters mid-way through leveling, if one encounters a better skill or cultivation method, one often abandons the most basic skill.

Yang Xiao had such an experience; he had always insisted on leveling his Feather Arrow Skill and Golden Bee Sword Skill to their highest levels, currently only a little distance away from achieving that.

Once mastered, the most basic spear technique erupts with ten times the attack damage!

Gong Yu felt the space around him filled with killing aura, even sensing something needle-like starting to pierce his skin; this time, he could no longer use the approach of mutually assured destruction to fend off Xie Dong.

Gong Yu, therefore, steeled his resolve, bellowing out,

"Break!"

Suddenly, Gong Yu transformed into a ten-meter-long leopard, his body flashed with light, and opened his huge mouth, spewing a cluster of electric arcs at Xie Dong’s spear shadows.

Gong Yu’s Beast Soul was a Lightning Leopard.

The electric arcs spread among the spear shadows, emitting a sizzling sharp sound, instantly shattering eight out of the ten spear shadows.

The last two spear shadows still forcefully broke through Gong Yu’s cluster of electric arcs, and with a thud, they hit the back of the Lightning Leopard.

Howl—

The Lightning Leopard howled and leaped forward, rushing toward Xie Dong, spewing another cluster of electric arcs from its mouth.

Xie Dong, knowing the gravity, hastily retreated, producing a Light Shield in front of him.

With a crack,

the Light Shield was shattered by the claws of the Lightning Leopard,

just at that moment, Xie Dong’s long spear thrust forward like lightning again, this time not with the most basic Silver Snake Spear Technique.

The crowd could only see Xie Dong’s long spear instantly transforming into a forty to fifty-meter-long Wolf Spider, emerging across the sky, pouncing towards the Lightning Leopard.

"Brother Dong’s Soul Skill, Wolf Spider Spear!"

Someone exclaimed.

The giant Wolf Spider instantly pounced in front of the Lightning Leopard, quickly coiling around the Lightning Leopard, and then raised its head, opening its wide mouth, biting at the Lightning Leopard.

This was the unique aspect of Brother Dong’s Soul Skill; Brother Dong’s Beast Soul was a Wolf Spider, and his Soul Skill also had a special technique. Once released, it would firmly entangle the opponent, preventing the opponent from having room to maneuver.

Gong Yu’s Beast Soul was entangled by the Wolf Spider, unable to break free for the time, and moreover, the Wolf Spider tightened its grip.

From a distance, Xie Dong continuously operated his Divine Sense, controlling his own Soul Skill.

Yang Xiao was desperate and shouted loudly:

"Do you have no shame? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t use Beast Soul?"

"Look clearly, Brother Dong is using Soul Skill. If he had used his Beast Soul, the power would have been even greater and Gong Yu would have lost long ago."

Zhang Lei said with a cold laugh from the side.

At this point, Yang Xiao could no longer care about anything else. Gong Yu was risking his life for him; there was no way he could just stand by and watch him die. Immediately, his right hand stretched out, ready to use the One Finger Splitting Earth technique against Xie Dong.

Just at that moment, a sudden sandstorm blew up from the desert, swirling dust into the sky.

The onlookers were suddenly startled and screamed:

"Bad news, the Sand Demon is coming, everyone run!"

Almost instantly, everyone scattered, running towards the Genetic Store.

Even Xie Dong did the same, immediately abandoning Gong Yu and dashing into the orange protective light of the Genetic Store.

Gong Yu also instantly reverted to human form and, grabbing Yang Xiao’s hand, charged toward the Genetic Store, shouting,

"Run, the Sand Demon is coming!"

By then, Huang Wen and the others had already run towards the orange protective light of the Genetic Store with the crowd.

Gong Yu had two bloody holes in his back from where Xie Dong had stabbed him; blood was gushing out like a fountain as he ran.

Everyone but Yang Xiao and Gong Yu ran ahead.

Yang Xiao, although puzzled, seeing so many people running towards the orange light of the Genetic Store, decided to follow them.

When they were still dozens of meters from the Genetic Store, Yang Xiao felt a killing aura surging from behind.

Looking back, he could barely make out several giant monsters, each over a hundred meters tall, amidst the dust, one of them swinging a giant palm towards him and Gong Yu.

"Holy crap, what the hell is that!"

Yang Xiao sped up his run,

Suddenly, he heard a thud from behind. Turning his head, he saw Gong Yu had inexplicably fallen onto the sandy ground.

Seeing the giant palm descending from the dusty sky,

Yang Xiao quickly bent down, grabbed Gong Yu’s hand, and ran forward rapidly.

With Yang Xiao’s strength, carrying Gong Yu’s body of over 100 kilograms was not a problem.

The killing aura behind grew denser. Yang Xiao heard Huang Wen and the others anxiously shouting from within the orange light,

"Run! Yang Xiao, run fast..."

The oppressive killing intent grew stronger and stronger, making Yang Xiao feel like he couldn’t breathe.

Obviously, Gong Yu felt the pressure too.

Gong Yu, having lost too much blood and still not fully recovered from Liu Yiyi’s poison, who had just taken two Small Blood Pills and forcibly fought Xie Dong, was already physically depleted. That’s why he suddenly fainted during the run.

They were about ten meters away from the orange protective light.

"Yang Xiao, leave me, run by yourself!"

"Shut up!"

meters, 8 meters...5 meters...

Yang Xiao was actually running very fast, but the killing aura from behind was coming even faster.

Yang Xiao could already feel the pain of steel needles piercing his skin and the suffocating pressure on his back.

Yang Xiao took a deep breath, made a fierce leap, and with Gong Yu, he dashed towards the orange light, five meters away.

With a splash, Yang Xiao, holding Gong Yu, fell to the ground, their legs still outside the orange light but were immediately pulled in by Huang Wen and others.

Boom!

At the same time, a roaring sound came from behind, and the ground trembled, everyone gasped in shock.

Turning back, Yang Xiao saw a deep, several-meter-deep imprint of a giant palm tens of meters wide in the sand.

In the dusty sky, the eyes of a huge monster glanced at Yang Xiao before turning away.
