Chapter 147: Unexpected
The top-grade earth-elemental Yuan Decree, this was already the limit of Zhu You Tian's abilities. Among all elemental Yuan Decrees, according to Zou Zhuang, one of the Ten Great Sages, the earth-elemental Yuan Decree had a very good restraining effect on water-elemental Yuan Decrees. Therefore, he just now felt that he had the confidence to temporarily trap the exploding Hu Wu Ming.
In fact, after a violent shock, the entire alley's ground had completely burst open, leaving behind only a huge trench. Countless stones of various sizes flew up and surrounded the Second Elder, forming an earthen wall that seemed to want to seal him inside.
"A minor skill!"
However, the two elders just sneered and suddenly found a white fox's shadow appearing behind him. The huge tail swung casually, and all the surrounding stones were thrown away.
Just as Zhu was caught off guard, his two allies Wu Yulu and Wei Dong suddenly launched a surprise attack together.
"You two scoundrels! Fools! You've actually been provoked by the enemy!" Zhu You shouted in anger.
Wu Yulü used the Rapid Wind and Rain Arrow, while Wei Dong used the Fire Dragon Technique. The fire borrowed the momentum of the water, making its power extremely great. Unlike Hu Gaocai who had only grasped the entry-level Yuan Jue, Wei Dong was a master of the Fire Dragon Technique. No matter how Zhu You Tian dodged, he could accurately move to his next position.
Zhu You Tian's beard was all burned off, he jumped up and down, looking very embarrassed, and cursed in his mouth, "You two will not die well!"
"Haha, it's all because you Zhujia family wanted too much!"
These two were only in the early stages of their explosion, and even if they joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for Zhu You Tian. They thought that a sudden sneak attack could quickly take care of Zhu You Tian, but the difference in strength between the early and mid-stages was too great. After catching his breath, Zhu You Tian immediately released several low-level yuan moves that consumed less yuan energy, disrupting the rhythm of their coordination.
"What a bunch of clowns!" The Second Elder seemed uninterested in watching their low-level performance, his body moved quickly, the white fox's movements were extremely agile, and in just a few steps, he closed in on the weakest Wei Dong, directly throwing a violent punch at him.
Wei Dong reacted quickly, his body rapidly flipping backwards, and a wind wall was deployed, isolating the two elders' subsequent attacks.
"Look closely, this is what true fist technique should be like!" The Second Elder said with a cold smile.
Hu Gao was stunned, he felt that the Second Elder's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, and then he saw his fist movement not stopping, the yuan energy light on his fist bursting out, and the wind wall in front of him actually really disappeared like the wind in the empty air, this is the most perfect control of yuan energy!
Wei Donghui was caught off guard and hastily deployed a defensive yuan move, condensing all his yuan power at his chest in the hope of withstanding the two elders' attack.
"Bang!" A sound like two thousand-pound objects colliding.
Wei Dong's entire body was like a kite with a broken string, flying directly out. A warrior in the early stages of the Explosive Yuan Boundary was actually not an opponent for Second Elder Yi!
Wu Yulu's face, which had been slightly seductive, suddenly became extremely ugly. His heart was filled with hatred for the Hu family! Yes, this corrupt and decadent family, which had dominated Ning City for thousands of years, had actually been toying with them all along! This feeling of being struck down from the clouds to the bottom of the valley made him feel like he would rather die than live.
He would never have thought that if it weren't for the four families trying to replace the Hu family, they wouldn't have deliberately provoked the Hu family and brought about today's disaster.
Some people always think they are right. If others don't play by their rules, it's treachery, it's shameless.
The two old men smiled, and that smile looked especially gloomy and terrifying in the night. Even Zhu You Tian couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. The Hu family, who usually seemed so gentle and refined, had revealed their ferocious fangs, and it was truly frightening! Those people had thought that after the Bai Xiao incident, they had taken over the territory of the Hu family in the east of the city, and that the Lang family had already been suppressed to the point where they couldn't lift their heads.
"If I had known it would be like this, why bother at the beginning?" The two elders saw the expressions of the two people and naturally knew what they were thinking.
"Cut the crap! Since ancient times, the king has defeated the bandits! Even if I, Zhu You Tian, have to peel off a layer of skin today, I will make the Hu family suffer to the point of wishing they were dead!" Zhu You Tian was furious, and the totem behind him began to take shape. The five-stage golden lion was already considered a top-notch totem, its majestic aura awe-inspiring, and not inferior to the white fox totem of the Second Elder.
At the same time, Zhu You Tian's body emitted a brilliant aura of yuan energy, and he began to infinitely overdraw his life force, which was a sign that he was about to unleash a high-level yuan move. At this moment, he had completely eliminated any lucky psychology, and today it was either the enemy who would die or he himself would perish.
A cornered dog will jump over a wall, the Second Elder didn't wait for the few people to finish their infighting before hastily taking action, naturally there was a reason why he had to do so. Just now he used a Earth-level secret method, which made his current body not as free as it seemed.
Facing Zhu You Tian's fatal blow, the Second Elder smiled wryly, "The Golden Lion Totem skill is no secret, it seems that the Master of the Zhu Family has already made up his mind to burn everything to ashes."
"Take it!" Zhu You Tian was now fully focused, unable to spare any attention for idle chatter. A terrifying vortex of yuan energy had gathered on his head, and the vortex actually emitted a white glow, like a red sun in the sky.
"The red sun blocks out the sky!"
Zhu You Tian's lifelong rage drinking, the yuan force vortex on his head descended onto the already materialized golden lion, emitting dazzling light, even Hu Gao, who was hiding in the dark, almost got blinded by the Dao light for half a day.
"Alright, let me lend you a helping hand!" Wu Yulu, who was beside him, could no longer muster the will to fight, and in an instant, he summoned his Totem, which turned out to be a sixth-tier Octopus with eight arms. It was unexpected that the Wu family's background was also terrifyingly powerful, and this Totem was even above Zhu You Tian!
The giant octopus had a massive body, with countless thick arms waving in the air, trying to tie up the two elders directly.
"Water Curtain Heaven's Splendor!"
As the octopus's arms waved, the waves surged out like water pouring from a bucket, filling the air and forming a dense wall of water around Erlang.
"In front of me, you dare to use the Water Elemental Seal? Where does your confidence come from?" The Second Elder's eyes flashed with youthful vigor, and with a single push of his hands, countless water dragons suddenly rose into the air. Although it was only the lowest level of Human Seal, the fully developed Water Dragon Technique had as many as eighteen dragons, which instantly shattered Wu Yulu's Water Curtain Heaven Painting, and even the eight-clawed octopus was directly blown into the air.
However, it was in this brief gap that Zhu You Tian's Golden Lion's massive body was like a huge light ball, swinging its four claws and pouncing down directly.
"Swirling Dragon, Dancing Phoenix!" The Second Elder changed his gesture and the Water Dragon Technique instantly transformed into a high-grade Yuan Decree. Countless water dragons revolved around him, resisting the Golden Lion's downward pounce.
The two energies collided, and a loud noise was suddenly emitted. A terrifying aura of yuan energy shot up into the sky, and the surrounding air seemed to have all its energy sucked out, turning it into a vacuum. In an instant, a shocking amount of energy was released, causing a chain reaction from the explosion that sent Hu Gao flying from afar.
Watt's up! This is a rhythm that even hiding can't avoid getting shot.
When Hu Gao finally stabilized his body and fell down, he lowered his head to take a look. His clothes had been reduced to just a few tattered pieces hanging on him, and both of his legs had turned dark gray, a characteristic of being charred.
It's good that I have this mysterious jade pendant, otherwise, just the residual power of this Yuan Decree explosion would be enough to take my life.
Hu Gao took a deep breath and found that his chest was also injured, throbbing with pain. Such an astonishing collision of yuan energy, he didn't know how the two elders were doing either?
Hu Gao endured the intense pain and dragged his two injured legs towards the scene of the crime.
This alley had long since become a ruin under the impact of several powerful yuan decisions, with various debris scattered all over the ground, making it extremely painful for Hu Gao to walk.
Gun smoke lingered in this small space, unable to disperse for half a day. Hu Gao had no choice but to reluctantly use the Wind-type Yuan Decree - Hurricane Technique he had read about in the library, carefully starting to clean up the scene.
It is true that greed can lead to trouble, Hu Gao's hurricane technique was not even as good as a late-stage Condensed Shadow Realm martial artist, fortunately his Qi Sea was large enough and his Yuan Force was abundant, after continuously casting the spell multiple times, he could finally see the road ahead clearly.
"Cough! Cough!"
A few coughs came from deep in the smoke, sounding like it was Second Elder's voice.
Hu Gao subconsciously stopped in his tracks, no matter how fiercely the Second Elder raged today, it couldn't change the fact that he was a traitor within the family! He asked himself deep down, if the Second Elder wasn't dead yet, could he win against him?
But Hu Gao still felt that if the Second Elder had wanted to kill him just now, then that one drop of water would have been enough.
Hu Gao arrived in front of the second elder with a face full of wrinkles amidst this unbearable entanglement.
"What...how can you not be afraid that I'll kill you?" The Second Elder coughed incessantly, the wrinkles on his face also trembling along with it, as if he had aged a hundred years in an instant.
Hu Gao looked around and found that under a piece of broken stone, there was another person pressed underneath, with two hands exposed outside, shaking constantly like the legs of a lizard.
Hú Gāo's hanging heart finally put down, with his current strength, any ordinary person jumping out could take his life, he didn't want to be scolded by that Fēndān in the sea of recognition again.
"Yes, I used to dislike you very much because you always targeted me and even sent people to assassinate me, and even colluded with the four major families... But... " Hu Gao said quickly, "Seeing your current appearance, I seem to not be able to hate you anymore."
"Foolish child!" The Second Elder surprisingly stood up, shaking and trembling, which scared Hu Gao into retreating several steps in a conditioned reflex.
"Do you really think Hu Cai Feng is a good person?"
Hu Gao was shocked, what did the Second Elder mean? He knew that the Second Elder seemed to be very good at verbal attacks, and the fight with the four major families just now had shown this, but he didn't expect that this guy would gain an absolute advantage in their conversation with just one sentence...
