Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 971 - 966: Corpse Revival

More than two hundred people exerted all their strength, and hundreds of energy pillars continuously poured into the defense light screen, causing the originally spreading cracks to slowly halt.

There were still a few sword shadows piercing through the defense light screen, shooting outside.

By this time, no one remained in the stands. The massive circular stands were blasted with dozens of large holes, causing more than ten thousand people to flee to the sky. Except for a few who flew farther away, the vast majority were not afraid of death, eager to see the outcome.

In rage, Dean Xinghai roared:

"Are you all courting death? Get farther away, damn it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone surged towards the periphery, yet continued watching from afar. These people were gamblers who had placed bets and were unwilling to leave without witnessing the life-and-death outcome.

Within the defense light screen, after a fierce exchange, Yang Xiao and Qin Xiaotian both retreated over a hundred meters due to the burst of killing aura.

Yang Xiao fell to the ground, spitting three mouthfuls of blood, feeling breathless, with his bones seemingly disassembled.

He hurriedly swallowed a Big Blood Pill, caught his breath, and when he looked up at Qin Xiaotian, found that Qin Xiaotian had already fallen to the ground, frozen into an ice block entirely.

The last move of Yang Xiao's Divine Mountain Sword Skill was Divine Mountain Avalanche, forming a huge killing aura ice block with the ancient martial inner power, possessing an extreme cold freezing effect.

Yang Xiao was even more surprised to find hundreds of people outside the defense light screen continuously injecting evolution energy, while the defense light screen had been pierced with hundreds of holes, dozens of hundred-meter-long cracks constantly extending, shaking violently, on the verge of collapse.

Through the defense light screen, Yang Xiao could see the sky in the distance was filled with academy students.

The entire arena was chaotic and disarrayed.

The strong killing aura from the clash between the Broken Rainbow Sword and Bronze Divine Sword continued hitting the surrounding defense light screen.

Since the defense light screen enveloped them, the vast killing aura did not dissipate instantly.

Yang Xiao realized that the dean and others were injecting evolution energy into the defense light screen to prevent its collapse, otherwise the powerful killing aura inside would burst out instantly.

In a flash, Yang Xiao roared and unleashed his soul skill,

Black Hole Swallowing.

A gigantic head appeared mid-air, with a massive vortex of two hundred meters in diameter emerging in the center of the arena, instantly sucking the surrounding space into it, pulling in the surging killing aura, drawing it away from the defense light screen.

With Yang Xiao's current cultivation at Emperor Level Primary Level Realm, the power of the soul skill Black Hole Swallowing could not counteract the killing aura unleashed by the Bronze Divine Sword and Broken Rainbow Sword,

but the gigantic vortex immediately changed the pressure inside the defense light screen, pulling the escaping killing aura along the screen several meters inward.

This momentary change considerably eased the pressure on Dean Xinghai and the others supporting the defense light screen, allowing the continuous injection of evolution energy,

cracks stopped spreading, holes slowly closed, and moments later, the damaged defense light screen was repaired, regaining solidity.

Dean Xinghai and others sighed in relief.

At this moment, everyone was astonished at the gigantic ancient monster's head and the giant vortex inside the defense light screen.

Yang Xiao briefly operated Black Hole Swallowing and, seeing the defense light screen repaired, ceased the operation of the Black Hole Swallowing soul skill.

The giant vortex vanished, and the residual killing aura inside the defense light screen, like waves, surged towards the surrounding defense light screen.

The defense light screen quivered briefly, and all the killing aura disappeared.

Everything returned to calm.

Dean Xinghai looked at Yang Xiao and nodded approvingly.

The people in the sky began to fly back to the stands.

Everyone still awaited an ending.

Qin Xiaotian's father Qin Chuan and mother Wanyan Li stood near the defense light screen, on the brink of breakdown.

Originally thinking their son Qin Xiaotian could kill Yang Xiao instantly with the Two-star Divine Weapon Broken Rainbow Sword, they did not anticipate Yang Xiao also possessing a Two-star Divine Weapon, whose killing aura was no less than their Broken Rainbow Sword.

What drove them mad was Qin Xiaotian lying on the ground while Yang Xiao still stood.

The two shouted madly:

"Yang Xiao, don't kill my son!"

"If you dare kill my son, I'll annihilate your entire clan!"

...

Yang Xiao turned a deaf ear to the shouts outside, gripped the Bronze Divine Sword, and slowly walked toward the fallen Qin Xiaotian.

To be precise, Qin Xiaotian was entirely covered in ice at this moment.

As Yang Xiao approached Qin Xiaotian step by step, the previously relaxed atmosphere tightened again.

In the life-and-death duel rules, unless one party dies or both parties reach a compromise, the defense light screen cannot be opened.

Moreover, both Yang Xiao and Qin Xiaotian possess Two-star Divine Weapons; if the defense light screen opens and they resume fighting, the surging killing aura will instantly spill out, harming many.

In the stands, those betting on Yang Xiao to win were overjoyed; for them, soon they would reap at least double or triple the gains.

Yang Xiao approached Qin Xiaotian within several meters and stopped,

Qin Xiaotian lay face down, his expression unseen, his life or death uncertain.

His back and limbs covered in thick ice blocks, the Broken Rainbow Sword held reverse-grip on his right hand.

Around him, there lay large patches of coagulated blood.

Yang Xiao hesitated briefly and shouted:

"Qin Xiaotian, are you dead?"

No response.

"I promised Elder Ye from the library, and Zhu Peng from the teaching office, that I could spare your life."

Still no response.

At this moment, Qin Xiaotian's mother Wanyan Li outside was frantically roaring,

"Open the Defense Light Screen, let me in, I want to save my son, old thief Xinghai, open the Defense Light Screen quickly, if my son dies, I won't let you off, hurry up!"

Vice Dean Deng Nan looked at Xinghai, frowned, and said:

"Brother Xing, what do you think?"

Xinghai replied calmly:

"The academy has its own rules. How could we possibly break them repeatedly for the Qin family? I've already made an exception and given the Qin family one chance, allowing Qin Xiaotian, someone from the Advanced Academy Department, to challenge Yang Xiao, someone from the lower academy department, what more do you want?

In a life-and-death duel, unless someone dies, the academy cannot open the Defense Light Screen without permission, and we don't have the authority to interfere with what's happening inside."

Earlier, Yang Xiao used the Black Hole Swallowing Soul Skill, actively attempting to rescue by interacting with the Defense Light Screen, greatly increasing Dean Xinghai's impression of him.

Qin Chuan ran to the dean, pleading:

"Dean, as long as you open the Defense Light Screen and save my son, I can donate 20 billion Crystal Coins to you."

"Boss Qin, it's not a matter of money now; it's the lives of Yang Xiao and Qin Xiaotian!"

"Fine, as long as you can save my son now, I promise not to trouble Yang Xiao any further. I'll accept Qin Yue's fate. Our Qin family has already lost Qin Yue; we cannot lose Qin Xiaotian as well, Dean, I'm begging you!"

Wanyan Li rushed over, throwing a tantrum and cursing at the dean:

"Xinghai, if you don't open the Defense Light Screen, I'll have my brother bring people to level your Flying Leopard Academy,"

Xinghai was about to get angry when Qin Chuan slapped his wife Wanyan Li across the face,

"Slap!"

A crisp sound, Wanyan Li's beautiful cheek immediately swelled up, staring dumbfoundedly at her husband Qin Chuan.

The man who had been married to her for over twenty years and had never dared to challenge her, now dared to hit her?

"Qin Chuan, you, how dare you,"

"Shut up, you foolish woman, go die somewhere else right away. Is Flying Leopard Academy a place for you to make a scene?"

Wanyan Li was stunned by her husband Qin Chuan's fierce demeanor,

She started to cry out loud in pain.

"You heartless man, how dare you hit me? You coward, our son is about to die, and you're just going to stand by and do nothing, sob sob..."

Qin Chuan clasped his hands towards the dean and said:

"Dean, I'm begging you, we can't afford to lose Qin Xiaotian as well, or the entire future of the Qin family will be ruined. Don't you have the heart to see the Qin family perish?

Over the years, haven't we donated enough to your Flying Leopard Academy?

You have children too, right?

Would you have the heart to watch me lose two sons in a row?"

Dean Xinghai looked at Qin Chuan, then took another look at Yang Xiao, who was approaching Qin Xiaotian within the Defense Light Screen, sighed, and said to Vice Dean Deng Nan beside him:

"Open the Defense Light Screen, isolate Yang Xiao and Qin Xiaotian, and watch out for the Killing Aura of the Divine Weapons in their hands."

"Yes."

Dean Deng Nan waved at a worker in the distance and shouted:

"Open the Defense Light Screen."

That worker immediately pressed a red button beside him, and with a "whoosh," the massive Defense Light Screen vanished instantly.

Yang Xiao paused, hearing the voice of Dean Xinghai from afar.

"Yang Xiao, I am Dean Xinghai. I now order you to immediately leave Qin Xiaotian. Everything will be handled by me. I assure you, in the name of the dean, that you will no longer be subject to the Qin family's retaliation."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao nodded. Although this outcome was somewhat different from what he had predicted, with the dean's intervention and guarantee, it was acceptable.

According to Yang Xiao's plan, he would personally pierce Qin Xiaotian's body with a sword, make Qin Xiaotian kneel and beg for mercy, and then spare his life.

Yang Xiao glanced at Qin Xiaotian, who lay on the ground covered in ice blocks, and turned to leave.

At the moment Yang Xiao turned,

With a "crack,"

The ice blocks on Qin Xiaotian shattered instantly,

Qin Xiaotian leaped up, the Broken Rainbow Sword in his hand slicing through the air, stabbing towards Yang Xiao.

The more than ten thousand people present gasped in shock at this unexpected turn of events.

"Yang Xiao, watch your back!"

Xiao Ling shouted, leaping towards the field.

Simultaneously, Yelu Caiyun also screamed, flying towards Yang Xiao from the stands.

Dean Xinghai also roared in anger:

"Qin Xiaotian, stop!"

Even Qin Chuan and Wanyan Li did not expect their son Qin Xiaotian had such a trump card as feigning death.
