Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Gong Yu, I Love You! (3 more updates)
At this moment, rumbling thunder sounded from behind Xue Dong’s camp and a dark cloud slowly pressed over the sky.
Zhong Cailing urgently dispatched three thousand elite soldiers to the scene.
No one at the scene moved; everyone stared at the pit in the center of the square.
Xiao Lan’s eyes brimmed with tears as she took a few steps forward, wanting to rush out, but Yang Xiao held her back.
"Yang Xiao, go and save Gong Yu."
Yang Xiao spoke solemnly:
"If Gong Yu has defeated Xue Dong, he will stand up on his own. If he is already dead, you running over now would be futile. This is Gong Yu’s stage, he will prove to everyone with his courage, perseverance and strength, that he is the undisputed King."
Xiao Lan was stunned, staring blankly at Yang Xiao, while Yang Xiao’s eyes were fixed on the fallen giant python and Lightning Leopard on the ground.
Yang Xiao firmly believed that Gong Yu would be able to stand up. He wanted his brother to complete a heroic scene that belonged only to him in front of everyone.
Zhong Cailing led three thousand elite soldiers to the back of the troop, and she herself flew directly to the front, noticing a thousand guards staring intently at a distant spot on the ground, she was shocked.
"What happened? What’s the matter?"
A top executive pointed at the square ahead and said:
"Brother Dong and the opponent are having a duel, both have fallen to the ground, we don’t know their condition."
"What? Are you all dead? Seeing Brother Dong dueling someone and you didn’t even move forward to help?"
Zhong Cailing exclaimed.
The executive immediately explained:
"The other side has more people, they didn’t intervene either. Besides, it was agreed beforehand that Brother Dong and the opponent would duel, and the outcome would determine who withdraws; we can’t interfere, can we?"
The executive’s point was clear - if their side, being outnumbered, intervened while the larger opposing force didn’t, wouldn’t that be inviting defeat?
But now, with Zhong Cailing bringing along three thousand elite soldiers, making a total of four thousand five hundred elite soldiers, they already had over a thousand more than Yang Xiao’s three thousand, and in terms of momentum, they had already surpassed the opponents.
Zhong Cailing stamped her foot and shouted loudly:
"You all are such cowards, Brother Dong treats you well usually."
Having said that, she dashed towards the center of the square, shouting as she went:
"Brother Dong, how are you, Brother Dong?"
Just as Zhong Cailing rushed out, she heard a sharp whistling sound coming from in front of her, as an Ice Element Arrow shot at her, fired by Yang Xiao.
With a slap sound,
The Ice Element Arrow split into ten upon reaching Zhong Cailing and exploded, forming a white fog of ice.
Yang Xiao and Zhong Cailing both had intermediate enhancement cultivation, but Yang Xiao’s combat power was much deeper than hers.
Immediately, Zhong Cailing felt a cold stream envelop her, causing her body to shiver uncontrollably, and she quickly retreated.
When she managed to stop, her hair and eyebrows were frosted over.
"This is a warning, dare to rush over again, and I’ll shoot you dead!"
The chilling voice of Yang Xiao made Zhong Cailing feel a stronger chill.
Yang Xiao continued shouting loud:
"My brother Gong Yu and your boss Xue Dong are dueling alone, both are brave men. Now we give them three minutes, if neither stands up within three minutes, it would be a draw. Each side should then send someone to retrieve their people, whether they can be saved will be left to fate."
Yang Xiao didn’t mention that if one person stood up, it would mean the other side would be defeated and the losing side should withdraw from this war.
He thought it was unrealistic; the opposing side wouldn’t simply hand over Xiangfan City and Shenlongjia because Xue Dong died, nor could he truly withdraw from the contest for Shenlongjia.
In a sense, since he had already assumed the role of an aggressor, he might as well be thoroughly ruthless. If he didn’t take Shenlongjia, this trip would have been in vain.
Sometimes, shouldn’t people be shameless?
Face and reputation were sometimes just for show, act tough when needed, and drop it when not.
Zhong Cailing gasped, stepped back, glanced at the four thousand elite soldiers behind her, and laughed loudly:
"What are you? You want to fight when you like and stop when you like? Are you kidding me, this is our territory, we decide when to fight and when to stand, brothers, Brother Dong is severely injured on the ground, let’s charge forward, kill them, and rescue Brother Dong."
Zhong Cailing, relying on Brother Dong’s affection and her lover status, was used to commanding everyone and was always overbearing.
However, this time, when she yelled for everyone to charge together, everyone seemed stunned for a moment.
Especially a few of the senior executives with high-level enhanced genes stood in the front, looked at each other, and one of them said to Zhong Cailing:
"Sister Ling, calm down, didn’t they say to wait three minutes? After three minutes, we go to save Brother Dong, and then decide on combat, it’s not too late."
Zhong Cailing paused, then roared:
"You guys? Are you hoping Brother Dong dies, aren’t you? Brother Dong is injured, we might be on time to rescue him now, but in three minutes, if he’s dead, what would there be to rescue?"
"But, the opponent has to endure three minutes too, right?"
"You all don’t get it, does the opponent have the prestigious status of Brother Dong? Our sacrifice in exchange for Brother Dong’s life, they are naturally willing to wait; Command everyone to charge forward now, we have four to five thousand people, we’re not afraid of them!"
Suddenly, Yang Xiao shouted loudly from a distance:
"If you charge now, regardless of whether Xue Dong is dead or alive, I’ll immediately shoot his corpse with two arrows, to see whether your men can outrun my arrows!"
"You?"
Zhong Caixia, furious, pointed at Yang Xiao and shouted:
"You’re willing to sacrifice your own people for Brother Dong’s life, of course you’re happy, I damn well am not!"
"You can seek battle anytime you want, but not now. If you keep blabbering, believe it or not, even with five thousand men, I can still take your life from amidst an army of ten thousand, as easily as reaching into a bag."
Yang Xiao spoke these words with intense confidence and a hint of disdain, causing Zhong Cailing to suddenly freeze.
At that moment, the body of the python on the ground trembled slightly, and someone shouted:
"Brother Dong has woken up, Brother Dong has woken up."
The whole place erupted into commotion, as everyone’s focus returned to the distant python’s body.
Yang Xiao’s heart sank, thinking to himself, disaster, I have miscalculated this time, causing Gong Yu to lose his life in vain.
Yang Xiao felt a spasmodic pain in his heart.
Xiao Lan’s tears suddenly streamed down her face, and she turned to look at Lan Xin with a sorrowful cry,
"Sister!"
Lan Xin’s heart sank, and she took Xiao Lan’s hand.
The hearts of the three thousand people behind Yang Xiao also sank abruptly.
The body of the python trembled slightly again, and then, the python disappeared and Xue Dong returned to his regular form, lying on the ground.
Zhong Cailing and the guards behind her immediately burst into excitement.
"Brother Dong won, Brother Dong won!"
"Brother Dong, stand up, Brother Dong stand up!"
The cheers were deafening.
On Yang Xiao’s side, however, there was dead silence, everyone feeling a heavy sense of gloom.
Xue Dong coughed twice, struggling a bit, but was unable to stand up.
His spine was severely injured, making it difficult for him to stand.
At this moment, everyone suddenly gasped,
only to see the Lightning Leopard lying next to Xue Dong also disappear, reverting back to Gong Yu.
"Cough, cough, cough,"
Gong Yu lightly coughed a few times and his body trembled slightly.
After the Giant Python Beast Soul disappeared, the pressure around the Lightning Leopard was gone, and the originally suffocated and unconscious Gong Yu slowly began to breathe and then gradually woke up.
Then, the scene fell into silence once again, both sides tensely watching the center of the arena, anticipating what would happen next.
Yang Xiao once again became agitated.
Xiao Lan gripped Lan Xin’s hand tightly, her heart screaming, "Gong Yu, stand up!"
Xue Dong coughed a few more times, tried to sit up again, but as soon as he moved his body, he felt excruciating pain in his spine, completely unable to sit up.
His spine had been bitten off by Gong Yu.
Gong Yu’s body also trembled a few times, then, a hand slowly moved and finally supported the ground, lifting half of his head.
Yang Xiao’s heart almost leaped out of his chest.
The three thousand people behind him shouted together:
"Gong Yu, stand up!"
"Gong Yu, you are the best!"
"Gong Yu, you are doing great!"
...
Gong Yu struggled, feeling too weak, seemingly without the strength to stand up immediately, the supporting hand softened, and his body collapsed back down.
Just then, a clear voice tinged with a sob rang out, cutting through the sky like a bolt of lightning striking Gong Yu’s weakened heart.
"Gong Yu, I love you!"
Gong Yu’s heart trembled violently, that was Xiao Lan’s voice.
A warm current instantly flowed through his whole body, Gong Yu took a deep breath and immediately sat up.
"Gong Yu, I love you!"
Xiao Lan, with tears streaming, shouted excitedly,
Then the three thousand people behind her shouted together:
"Gong Yu, I love you!"
The sound was thunderous!
Zhong Cailing and the others watched in bafflement as Yang Xiao’s side erupted into madness.
Gong Yu sat up, saw Xue Dong lying beside him, smiled slightly, and said:
"You lost!"
Then he suddenly drew a Longsword from his waist and stabbed lightning-fast towards Xue Dong’s chest.
The whole place fell into deadly silence!
