CHAPTER 559: CHAPTER 559: LIFE AS INSIGNIFICANT AS AN ANT

Gu Xiaojie never expected that he, hiding dozens of meters away from Yang Xiao and the others, would be discovered, and the whip Long Xiang struck towards him just now was immensely powerful, which surprised him greatly.

In an instant, Gu Xiaojie fully unleashed his Defensive Light Shield while simultaneously retreating backward like lightning. The Defensive Light Shield was shattered by Long Xiang’s strike, but he managed to dodge the attack.

Standing atop a tree, Gu Xiaojie saw Yang Xiao and Lan Xin and shouted loudly:

"Yang Xiao, you’ve got some nerve, daring to secretly harbor members of the Dragon Clan. Do you know that we are capturing the Dragon Clan everywhere? Aren’t you afraid of being exterminated by doing this?"

Yang Xiao and Lan Xin flew to Long Xiang’s side, signaling Long Xiang to hold off on attacking.

"Gu Xiaojie, you were actually tracking me?"

"Hehe, tracking you is your good fortune. How many people in the entire region of Xuanming Country are worth our tracking? Let me tell you the truth, we’ve long noticed there’s something off about you."

"What’s off about me?"

"Do you not know whether you’re normal or not deep inside? There are too many doubts in your Genetic Evolution process which had already caught the attention of Master Gu Bo. We have been secretly watching you. Of course, your evolution problem is your own issue, we might not intervene,

but your dealings with the Dragon Clan, using the Dragon Clan to attack your opponents, and hiding her in Shenlongjia, this point is fatal. Now the Fourth Prince is sending people everywhere to search for this escaped Giant Dragon. If you want to live, hand her over. I can speak well of you in front of my master, just say you assisted me in capturing the Giant Dragon.

My master has always admired you. If he is willing to plead for you, I believe the Fourth Prince will also let you off. Don’t forget, the last time you could participate in the King martial arts tournament in Wentian City was due to my master’s strong recommendation, otherwise, where would you have the chance to become the Four-Provinces King now?"

Yang Xiao laughed:

"So it seems, I should thank your master, shouldn’t I?"

"Of course."

Gu Xiaojie, not afraid of Yang Xiao but feeling somewhat guilty towards Long Xiang, since Long Xiang had earlier shattered his fully stimulated Defensive Light Shield, indicating that her strength was above his. So, in his words, he carried both a tone of threat and an attempt to ally, hoping Yang Xiao could temporarily prevent Long Xiang from pursuing him. If he could escape, he would regain the upper hand.

Gu Xiaojie even anticipated receiving rewards for discovering the hiding place of the Giant Dragon.

Yang Xiao was willing to chat with him at the moment naturally to glean more information as this was his first direct confrontation with someone from this mysterious alien civilization.

"Gu Xiaojie, what if I refuse to hand the Giant Dragon over to you?"

"Hehe, Young Master Yang, then you should ask yourself how many heads you have? Don’t think your cultivation is so high. Let me tell you the truth, we can send any Iron Tower Warrior to extinguish you, any so-called strong individual on your Earth, in our eyes, what’s the difference to an ant?"

Gu Xiaojie’s pride was sky-high, and the alien Xuanhuan civilization he represented indeed far exceeded Yang Xiao’s imagination.

Yang Xiao suddenly said coldly:

"You aliens regard us Earthlings as ants, hence, you did not hesitate to kill over ninety percent of Earth’s population overnight. By doing this, don’t you think it’s too cruel? Do you still have any conscience? What good does this do for you?"

"Haha, cruel? Conscience, Yang Xiao, you really are too naïve. When you step on an ant on Earth, do you feel cruel and guilty? When you destroy an anthill with water and fire, do you feel any remorse at all?

In our eyes, you are the same as ants, no difference, so don’t talk to us about conscience."

Yang Xiao, Lan Xin, and Long Xiang, upon hearing this, were not only enraged but also deeply shocked.

Yes, in the eyes of aliens, the humans on Earth are merely like ants, without life and dignity.

"Even if Earthlings are like ants in your eyes, let me ask you, what methods did you use that caused all life on Earth to undergo genetic mutations, and why would you assist in our continuous evolutionary gene development?"

"Haha, ludicrous, assistance, you’re merely our test subjects, we—"

Gu Xiaojie suddenly paused, feeling that he had said too much, and immediately stopped, his eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at Yang Xiao:

"Yang Xiao, don’t expect to extract any information from me. Let me tell you, you now have two choices, first, hand over the Giant Dragon to me, second, wait for death!"

Before coming to Shenlongjia, I had already reported to my master. If I cannot return on time, my master will definitely send someone to look for me. Also, Lord Long Wei’s subordinates won’t let you go easily either. You’d better weigh your options."

After finishing speaking, Gu Xiaojie took out a black shield and a triangular heavy sword similar to those wielded by the Iron Tower Warriors, from his space ring.

The black shield emitted a black light, forming a circular defense aura of about half a meter in front of Gu Xiaojie, while the triangular heavy sword emitted a strong killing aura.

Yang Xiao knew that Gu Xiaojie was either preparing to fight or preparing to flee.

"Gu Xiaojie, Long Xiang is my sister, I will not hand her over to you. Whether you can escape today depends on your own ability. If you can escape, then I am doomed; if you can’t escape today, then you are doomed. Today, we both gamble with our lives to see whose life is tougher."

Gu Xiaojie laughed loudly:

"Yang Xiao, you can’t be so insanely arrogant just because you shattered my defensive light shield with a single sword strike last time, thinking you can kill me?"

Long Xiao shouted:

"Stupid brother, let me kill him, stop wasting words."

Yang Xiao said:

"Long Xiang, I want to meet him personally, to see how formidable their alien civilization really is. You support me, save me at the critical moment, don’t let me die!"

Long Xiang: "..."

"Also, Lan Xin, step back, do not join the fight. Long Xiang, you must watch and protect Sister Lan Xin, she is not his match."

Lan Xin: "..."

Suddenly, Long Xiang asked:

"If both you and Sister Lan Xin are in danger at the same time, who should I save first?"

"Save her!"

"Save him!"

Yang Xiao and Lan Xin almost blurted out at the same time.

Long Xiang gave them a disdainful look,

"Stop showing off your love, I won’t save either of you."

Yang Xiao and Lan Xin: "..."

Long Xiang laughed:

"Anyway, neither of you will die, it’s that alien creature who will die, hehe!"

Gu Xiaojie, seeing the three of them showing affection and talking with laughter, completely disregarding him as if he was just meat on the chopping board, felt furious inside.

Ever since coming to Earth, no creature had ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.

"Haha, a bunch of earth ants who do not know whether they are dead or alive, thinking about how to kill me, using your Earth words— ’when the tiger doesn’t show its might, you think it’s a sick cat,’ huh?"

Yang Xiao grasped his longsword,

"It’s either a tiger or a sick cat, let your strength do the talking."

After speaking, his figure flashed, and the longsword, carrying fierce sword qi, charged towards Gu Xiaojie.
