Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Flicking Flower Fingers (3 more)
Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin rode the Giant Eagle, flying out from the depths of Shenlongjia Mountain and heading to the mountain’s outskirts, where they began to look for the Genetic Store along the way.
Not long after Yang Xiao flew to the outskirts, the patrolling flying squad spotted him and immediately began to follow him from a distance.
To avoid detection by Yang Xiao, they specifically flew at low altitude.
Yang Xiao didn’t pay much attention to this, as he kept his eyes on the path ahead, searching for the Genetic Store.
Before Yang Xiao set out, he had a map of the Shenlongjia Scenic Tourist Area in his hand. At this moment, he was flying towards the direction of the main entrance of the Shenlongjia Scenic Tourist Area before the apocalypse, where there was a small town, hoping to find the Genetic Store there.
After about ten minutes of flight, the Giant Eagle gradually approached the main entrance of the Shenlongjia Scenic Area, and indeed, from a distance, they saw the orange glow emanating from the Genetic Store, which was a unique sign of the stores.
"Brother Ben Yin, there’s a Genetic Store ahead."
"Good, we’re in luck. This Genetic Store is located at the foot of Shenlongjia Mountain, which will be convenient for future transactions."
"Okay, let’s go down."
Yang Xiao gently patted the Giant Eagle, and with a cry, the Eagle started descending slowly towards the direction of the Genetic Store.
At this time, near the Shenlongjia Genetic Store, there was a team of twenty people, led by a captain named Cheng Bo, who had an Intermediate Cultivation with an Enhanced Gene of Close Combat Beast Souls.
"Boss, there’s a Giant Eagle in the sky!"
Upon hearing the cry of the Giant Eagle, everyone looked up to the sky, and some saw Yang Xiao’s Giant Eagle descending slowly towards the Genetic Store.
"Boss, could this be the Giant Eagle that Zhong Cailing was pursuing? Not sure if there’s anyone on it?"
Cheng Bo looked up and said:
"It should be the one. According to Zhong Cailing, the person was sitting on the back of the Giant Eagle. Everyone, prepare for battle, but don’t initiate an attack when the Giant Eagle lands. Wait until the person gets off the back of the Giant Eagle and move away from it. Then, we’ll quickly separate the Eagle and that kid so he can’t escape on the Giant Eagle."
"Should we inform Brother Dong?"
After a moment’s hesitation, Cheng Bo said indifferently:
"No need. With so many of us, aren’t we able to beat just one of him? If we have to inform Brother Dong for such a trifle, are we all just here to loaf around? Brother Dong is very busy!"
Cheng Bo was thinking of earning merits in the operation to capture Yang Xiao, hoping to win the favor of Zhong Cailing and Brother Dong, so he could be promoted from this outpost of the Genetic Store to a position in Xiangfan District.
This outpost was really too remote. It was too lonely and uncomfortable to stay here long.
Among the twenty people in the squad, he was at the Intermediate level of the Enhanced Gene, plus four experts at the Primary level of Enhanced Gene, and the rest were all skilled practitioners with Advanced Primordial Genes. Such strength was already considerable, and he was confident in dealing with Yang Xiao and his Giant Eagle.
Yang Xiao descended slowly on the Giant Eagle.
The number of people at this outpost of the Genetic Store was small. Everyone who came here was to enter Shenlongjia to hunt monsters, using this place as a temporary resting stop, for overnight stays, and trading goods.
Now it was morning, and most people had already set out to hunt in Shenlongjia Forest. Apart from Cheng Bo’s security team, there were only a dozen other people.
"Errr—"
With a long cry, the Giant Eagle landed near the plaza of the Genetic Store.
Yang Xiao and Ben Yin jumped down.
Cheng Bo and his men were now scattered around, pretending to be idle.
Yang Xiao quickly scanned the surroundings and saw that there weren’t many people. He then headed towards the Genetic Store with Ben Yin.
Cheng Bo and his men, seeing Yang Xiao and the Giant Eagle part ways, immediately rushed forward, surrounding both Yang Xiao and Ben Yin.
Yang Xiao paused, immediately realizing what was happening, and said with a forced laugh:
"What are you all doing?"
"What are you doing? I’m asking you, a few days ago, was it you who rode the Giant Eagle into the Shenlongjia and had a conflict with a patrolling team of flyers, shooting down several of them?"
"Yeah, so what? Could it be that those I shot have something to do with you?" Yang Xiao asked, feigning surprise.
"Kid, let me tell you, it’s a big deal. You’ve gotten yourself into some serious trouble!"
"Amitabha! This benefactor, it was not our intention at the time. The other party attacked us first, and we had to fight back in self-defense."
Monk Ben Yin put his palms together.
When Cheng Bo saw Monk Ben Yin, he sneered:
"Oh, could never have imagined that there’s a monk here too? Monk, aren’t you supposed to be chanting and cultivating in the temple? What are you doing here in Shenlongjia making a fuss?"
Monk Ben Yin was taken aback and then said:
"Amitabha! Benefactor, monks consider the whole world their home. Can’t I roam around in Shenlongjia? This Shenlongjia isn’t your personal backyard, is it?"
"Oh what a coincidence, Shenlongjia is now the backyard of Brother Dong, the City King of Xiangfan City. Do you know that day you almost shot Brother Dong’s favorite woman? You guys have stirred up big trouble."
Yang Xiao smiled:
"Oh? So she wasn’t killed? Seems my cultivation is still not enough; I need to keep improving."
Cheng Bo was stunned, almost choking on Yang Xiao’s words, and angrily said:
"Kid, you still dare to speak tough when you’re about to die? Hmph, I’ll see just how capable you are."
Cheng Bo’s body shuddered, instantly transforming into a black bear seven or eight meters tall. With a fierce roar, he swung a palm through the air towards Yang Xiao.
In midair, a massive bear paw, with the sound of thunder, whistled towards him, stirring up a powerful storm.
Yang Xiao’s face had a slight smile, and with a flick of his fingers, he formed a gesture that resembled a lotus, swiftly waving his ten fingers. Ten streams of killing aura infused with spiritual power instantly pierced through the air.
Monk Ben Yin, standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise:
"Damn, when did you learn to use the Finger Flicking technique? And to be so formidable at that?"
The ten intense streams of killing aura were just like ten powerful lasers, flashing towards the roaring giant bear paw.
In just an instant, with a soft hiss, the giant bear paw was pierced with five or six holes, cracking loudly and vanishing into thin air.
Cheng Bo’s heart trembled, a fear of death rising from within, instantly engulfing his whole body.
Instinctively, he dodged to the right in a flash, trying to avoid the ten deadly streams.
However, fast as he was, the killing aura unleashed by Yang Xiao’s Finger Flicking technique was faster.
With a hiss, Cheng Bo suddenly felt his body tremble slightly, and then he became immobile.
Several of his subordinates stood wide-eyed, looking at Cheng Bo’s body, each feeling an unprecedented sense of horror.
Cheng Bo looked down and discovered that his body had been pierced with three fist-sized holes. The speed was too fast; he didn’t even feel any pain before his body was penetrated by Yang Xiao’s Finger Flicking technique.
Blood instantly gushed from three holes, no, six holes, both front and back.
When Cheng Bo saw the three massive holes in his body, he felt a chill all over. He looked up at Yang Xiao, his eyes filled with fear. He truly hadn’t expected Yang Xiao to kill him instantly. No wonder Zhong Cailing and her thirty men were no match for him that day. He shouldn’t have been so overconfident!
"You?"
Cheng Bo pointed at Yang Xiao, then fell to the ground with a thud, motionless.
