Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 1289: Chapter 1277: To Kill, or Not to Kill?

Yang Xiao severed his left hand and then, during the moment Long Aotian and everyone else were stunned, struck with lightning speed, using the unique killing aura of the Bronze Divine Sword, instantly slaying Long Aotian.

The entire place was in shock, everyone gaping in utter astonishment at Yang Xiao.

Severing his own hand, ruthless enough!

Using the instant of Long Aotian’s shock and guard down, striking with lightning speed to kill, fast and precise enough!

A single sword slicing Long Aotian into two, without the slightest hesitation, ruthless enough.

Yang Xiao, under such hurried and tense circumstances, was able to so ruthlessly and precisely kill Long Aotian, indeed took everyone by surprise.

Especially Yang Xiao’s self-severed left hand, though in this world the Big Blood Pill and Genetic Evolution Method can rapidly heal severed limbs, it’s not something an average person can do.

Without the fatherly love for his son Long Xiao, without the deep-seated hatred for Long Aotian, Yang Xiao perhaps couldn’t have done it.

Amidst the shock, Yang Xiao quickly picked up the severed hand on the ground, accurately repositioned it, and activated the "Bone Forging" technique from the Genetic Evolution Method of the Great Dragon Empire, along with the effect of the Essence Blood Pill.

The place where Yang Xiao’s limb was severed was healing rapidly, with bones and tendons reconnecting and repairing.

Everyone watched Yang Xiao, their hearts filled with admiration.

Even the Fourth Prince of the Great Dragon Empire couldn’t help but silently admire Yang Xiao.

Long Jing was first startled, then carried her son to Yang Xiao’s side, glanced down at Yang Xiao’s healing wrist.

Seeing the bloodstains on the wrist drying gradually, and the skin wound slowly healing, her worried heart somewhat relaxed.

Yang Xiao was currently channeling energy to heal his wounds, temporarily undisturbable.

A few royal family war generals of the Great Dragon Empire immediately drew their longswords and shouted:

"Yang Xiao is healing his wounds right now and cannot fight, otherwise, his hand will be permanently crippled. Everyone, attack together, kill Yang Xiao, avenge the Emperor, avenge the Eldest Prince, avenge the dead War God and Dean Long Kui."

With such a loud call, a dozen royal family war generals from the Great Dragon Empire immediately charged up.

Long Jing looked at the dozen or so charging war generals, gritted her teeth fiercely, drew the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword, and waved it in the air. A sharp killing aura slashed through the sky, and immediately, a hundred-meter-long silver dragon phantom condensed mid-air,

"Aooo——"

A long roar, the silver dragon’s killing aura surged immensely, instantly forcing back the dozen charging men.

From afar, the White Elephant Emperor was shocked at heart, muttering to himself:

"Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword, Heavenly Dragon Swordsmanship, didn’t expect Long Jing had cultivated the exquisite sword technique of turning sword into dragon, the Great Dragon Empire still has hope!"

The White Elephant Emperor’s words weren’t hoping for the Great Dragon Empire to continue surviving but was shocked that the younger generation of the Great Dragon Empire had risen up.

The Emperor of the Great Dragon on his deathbed passed the throne to Long Jing, seems like Long Jing isn’t simple, which isn’t good news for the Youming Empire.

The dozen royal family war generals of the Great Dragon Empire were startled, shouting:

"Princess Long Jing, what are you doing?

Why stop us? We must kill Yang Xiao to avenge the Great Dragon Emperor,

Don’t you want to avenge your father king?"

Long Jing’s expression was stern, at this moment Long Jing had experienced the great joys and sorrows of the world — her father’s death, her brother’s death, her son Long Xiao’s narrow escape, the man she loved was now completely at odds with the Great Dragon Empire, bearing a deep sea of blood feud.

As the Great Dragon Empire’s first beauty, princess, and Holy Daughter, the beautiful romantic love life she once yearned for, the family life of supporting husband and raising children, was utterly shattered at this moment.

Not only that, the vast empire was also about to collapse, and her father king, before dying, passed the throne to her, she now felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her, suffocatingly breathless.

The move she just made was instinctive; she hadn’t thought it through herself, whether to save Yang Xiao or kill Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao killed her father and brother so decisively, without a trace of mercy, even if she knelt down to beg Yang Xiao, Yang Xiao still mercilessly killed her father king in front of her son.

Does Long Jing not hate him?

Her son Long Xiao is now the world to Long Jing.

When Long Aotian threatened to kill Long Xiao, Yang Xiao severed his own left hand to save his son, at that moment, Yang Xiao’s revealed fatherly love for his son moved her.

As the Holy Daughter and Princess of the Great Dragon Empire, as the late Great Dragon Emperor’s daughter, she hated Yang Xiao’s ruthlessness.

But as Long Xiao’s mother, she was touched by Yang Xiao’s self-sacrificial fatherly love.

Yang Xiao’s fatherly love naturally included his love for Long Jing.

Long Jing’s multiple identities left her heart confused; she could no longer rationally analyze how to handle the current situation.

So, at the critical moment, she could only follow her heart’s instinct, draw her sword without hesitation, and blocked a sword for Yang Xiao, repelling the encircling avenging royal family war generals.

Long Jing wielded the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword, sweeping her eyes across the dozen or so royal family war generals, speaking loudly:

"Everyone, I know you want to kill Yang Xiao to avenge the father king, I have the same thought as you,

But Yang Xiao severed his left hand to save my son Long Xiao,

Even if Yang Xiao saved Long Xiao because of his fatherly identity,

But as Long Xiao’s mother, I still want to thank Yang Xiao, regardless of whose fault it was,

Things today have been chaotic enough, I hope it ends here,

If you want to kill Yang Xiao for revenge, I won’t stop you, but not now,

Yang Xiao is healing his severed hand, I am here as his protector,

If any of you want to kill Yang Xiao, you’ll have to kill me first!"

At this moment, Long Jing, heroic and majestic, with a spirit soaring to the sky, wielded the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword, daunting to behold.

The dozen royal family war generals of the Great Dragon Empire were taken aback, saying:

"Princess, with the nation’s and family’s hatred before you, you, as the Great Dragon Emperor’s daughter, princess, and Holy Daughter, as well as the designated heir by the late Great Dragon Emperor, not avenging Yang Xiao is against the law of heaven and hard to convince the public!"

"I have said, here and now, I don’t care how much you hate Yang Xiao, in the end, you won’t kill him unless you kill me first."

Long Jing showed no sign of backing down.

The dozen royal family war generals turned their eyes to the Fourth Prince,

"Fourth Prince, are you just going to watch this? Let Princess Jing shield her lover who killed the Emperor and the Eldest Prince without doing anything?

If there is no courage to avenge the late Emperor, truly the Great Dragon Empire is on the brink of extinction."

The Fourth Prince glanced at Long Jing.

He and Princess Jing were siblings from the same mother, typically having a closer relationship than with Long Aotian.

When Long Aotian used Long Xiao as a hostage, the Fourth Prince also immediately rushed up to persuade.

This is genuine sibling affection.

The Fourth Prince looked at Long Jing,

"Sister Jing, I know your inner pain and difficult decision, but if you don’t kill Yang Xiao now, when will there be a chance to avenge the father king in the future?

If you don’t avenge the father king, how will you become the new Emperor of the Great Dragon Empire? How will you convince the public? How will you command the empire’s soldiers?"

Long Jing looked at the Fourth Prince, said:

"Fourth brother, if you were me, what would you do?"

The Fourth Prince glanced at Yang Xiao sitting on the ground, running the Bone Forging Technique, gritted his teeth, said:

"Loyalty and righteousness cannot both be fulfilled, you are the new Emperor of the Great Dragon Empire, you must be loyal to the Great Dragon Empire, this is the highest interest,

I know Yang Xiao is emotionally attached to you, and you feel the same towards him,

In the past, you could just see yourself as a girl, betraying everything for love,

But it’s different now, you are the soon-to-be-crowned new Emperor, all your actions must prioritize the empire’s interest; personal interests and emotions must conform to the empire’s interest,

Otherwise, how can you convince the public? How can you command the soldiers? Rule the Great Dragon Empire?"

Long Jing trembled inwardly upon hearing this, her hand holding the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword trembling slightly.

"Must I personally kill Yang Xiao?"

Long Jing raised the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword, the sharp killing aura broke forth again.

Everyone was watching Long Jing,

At this moment, as long as her longsword gently fell towards Yang Xiao, sitting on the ground healing his wounds, she could avenge her father’s killer, slay the Great Dragon Empire’s greatest enemy, and gain the admiration and loyalty of the populace.

Kill?

Or not to kill?

Long Jing wielded the longsword,

Her heart spasmed, her face was in great pain!
