Chapter 43 The Boy's Heart

  Just as Guo De Sheng's fist was about to land, Hu Gao finally grasped the Shadowless Sword. In an instant, his body was knocked back two steps, but he quickly stabilized himself, standing there like nothing had happened, a joyful expression on his face.

  "Huh? Didn't get hurt?"

  "How did he manage to withstand the Six-Stage Apex Warrior's fist without a single hair out of place?"

  "Alas, is this true or false? Is he really made of iron?"

  "He's immortal, he's really immortal. He was so badly injured the day before yesterday, but not a single wound was left on him, and now he won't be hurt at all." The martial arts arena erupted in cheers as many of the Hu family's younger generation began to celebrate, for they had heard from their seniors that according to the secret records, the successor had three lives.

  "Nonsense!" Guo De Sheng also heard the crowd's discussion, and suddenly became very angry. "You Hu family will use these despicable tricks, what guardian god nonsense, I think it's nothing but that!"

  His lips curled up slightly, and he naturally didn't have any invincibility. Even with the jade pendant, it could only help him recover from his injuries quickly, not withstand attacks. Just now, Guo De Sheng's full-strength attack, if he had relied solely on the jade pendant, would have definitely left him severely injured.

  "Are you still going to hit me?" Hu Gao played with the Shadowless Sword in his hand, heh, this was a mid-grade treasure of the Human Rank, worth 50,000 to 100,000 gold coins, almost equivalent to all the gold coins he had earned these days.

  Now that the Shadow Sword is in hand, it's no big deal whether or not to defeat Guo De Sheng. As long as he knows his place and doesn't ask for trouble, there won't be a problem; otherwise, it's just a matter of taking action again.

  "It seems you really want to oppose me, I don't believe in evil!" Guo De Sheng roared with anger, his whole body's yuan force circulating, as if bathing in a yellow light, emitting a strong aura, behind him seeming to have waves roaring and rolling.

  "Unexpectedly, this guy is also a third-order totem." Jile stood below, his face solemn. He had already known that Hu Gao was only a first-order totem before. In such a large consumption of yuan force, the third-order totem can be said to have an absolute advantage.

  However, he also clearly saw that Hu Gao had not exerted his Yuan power from start to finish. Although he might be a Body Cultivation martial artist, if he were to exert his Yuan power, his combat strength would increase by at least one or two percent, right?

  "Unexpectedly, Guo De Sheng has so many tricks up his sleeve. In our ordinary hall, he is absolutely top-notch!"

  "It's useless! If you run into a descendant of the Hu family, there is only one dead end." This was the voice of a young master of the Hu family.

  "Alas, Hu Gao is obviously bullying people."

  Kuang De Sheng heard these comments, furious and ashamed, let out a strange cry and charged straight at Hu Gao, the water vapor in the air boiling completely, the Yuan force energy boiling completely, pressing down on Hu Gao like a landslide, determined to kill him with one blow.

  "Go die, Hu Gao!"

  As Guo De Sheng's cold and stern voice echoed, Hu Gao already felt the surging waves in front of him, crushing down on him.

  "It's really over!"

  Hú Gāo also calmly said, the next moment, his whole body burst out, all his strength erupting, any yuan power that was pressing towards him scattered to both sides, not getting close to his body at all.

  "Huh?" Guo De Sheng finally sensed something was off, his expression changed slightly, but he couldn't figure out what had gone wrong. He had clearly played his strongest trump card, so how could there still be a twist?

  "Bang!" Before long, Guo De Sheng felt a surge of power pounding on his chest. He didn't even have time to react before he was sent flying backward.

  "How is this possible?" In the blink of an eye, Guo De Sheng saw Hu Gao's face with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, he couldn't believe it and couldn't understand what was going on. How could the latter break through his own attack and launch such a fierce counterattack against him?

  It must be because of his immortality! Guo De Sheng finally found a reason and then fainted very neatly.

  Wow!

  "Is it really because of immortality?"

  Ji Yue's eyebrows also furrowed slightly, because he had just discovered that when Guo De Sheng launched his big move, Hu Gao didn't make any decent resistance at all, and directly pierced through, only waving his hands twice in the middle, it can be said that he completely ignored his attack.

  He couldn't help but think of how Hu Gao had blocked the Earth-level Yuan Decree attack from the Ghostly Emperor's senior elder, leaving him somewhat perplexed. He really didn't want Hu Gao to have defeated Guo De Sheng solely due to his Undead Constitution, as that would be external power and not his true strength.

  "With this treasure, I can finally cultivate the ultimate technique of the martial arts category. It's truly a case of 'thoughts becoming reality'." Hu Gao swung the Shadowless Sword twice before jumping off the Martial Arts Platform and finding Extreme Joy in the crowd, walking over to him.

  "Hu Gao, you can't leave... the Shadowless Sword belongs to our boss, return it." Four figures appeared around Hu Gao, blocking his way. They were all followers of Guo De Sheng and had considerable strength and cultivation, all having reached the sixth stage of the Condensing Shadows Realm.

  "How dare I, since I dared to snatch his things in front of Guo De Sheng, still fear you few? Those who know the situation should roll away, otherwise I will personally take action and slap you flying." Hu Gao was not polite at all when dealing with Guo De Sheng's minions, his tone cold and stern.

  The four of them exchanged a glance, and immediately they were all intimidated. They must not have wanted to fight Hu Gao, who had just defeated Guo De Sheng with ease, without any pressure at all. This suggested that Hu Gao might be hiding his true strength, and when he dealt with the four of them later, there would be no pressure?

  "Hu Gao, you'd better hand over the Wuying Sword, otherwise Guo Shao's elder brother won't let you off..." One of the four people with a slightly bigger temper said, but as soon as he finished speaking, he discovered that all the Hu family warriors around them were staring at him, scaring him into shutting up immediately.

  "Whatever benefits I, Hu Gao, have obtained, no one else can take them back. Let alone Guo De Sheng's elder brother, even if his elder grandfather came, the result would be the same. If you want to take the Wuying Sword away, fine, let him bring 200,000 gold coins to buy it. Otherwise, forget it..."

  Hu Gao replied succinctly, holding the Shadowless Sword and pushing away the young man blocking his path. "From now on, in this ordinary hall of the War Institute, if anyone dares to bully any one of you brothers from the Hu family, we will show no mercy and beat them until they surrender! Let these people know that in Ning City, it's still our Hu family who calls the shots!"

  Hoo-hoo!

  Hu Gao's words immediately drew a response from many of his fellow Hu family members. The several major branches of the Hu family had been openly and secretly vying with each other for years, and were no longer on good terms. In this war, they naturally fought separately, but now, they finally felt that they had found an organization, and saw light and hope...

  Hu Gao looked at the people with a brainwashed expression on their faces, feeling very pleased. It seemed that he still had some royal aura about him. He patted Yelu's shoulder and said, "Let's go, don't just stand there stupidly. I'll take you to Mount Tu, where we can eat meat and drink wine!"

  "Idiot, ah, just the two of us going to Tushan?" Jile was crying and shouting, being dragged out by Hu Gao, "Big brother, I'll call you big brother, okay? This is my new custom-made clothes that I just got from Dongcheng today."

  After leaving the War Temple, Ji Le turned around and took Hu Gao to the market in the east of the city. This upgraded version of a foodie who pursued the ultimate in life details couldn't understand why Hu Gao was always eating that kind of demonic beast meat without even adding seasonings, which was simply a waste of good food.

  Looking at the extreme joy in his hands holding various large and small bags of unnamable materials, Hu Gao laughed and said, "I never thought that at first I thought you were a familiar two goods, later I thought you were a romantic and elegant Casanova, now I finally understand, it turns out that this skin bag is just the outer appearance you use to disguise yourself, in your heart where no one can see, lives a woman."

  Jile rolled her eyes, "If you're so capable, then don't use any of these things for a while, and there's also the wine I told you to buy?"

  "Hu Gao waved his hand, 'How dare I forget? The store you mentioned is really hard to find. Who would open a shop under the bridge? Haven't you heard of the saying "Good wine fears the alley is deep"?'?"

  "Hmm, this statement makes sense." Jile nodded, "But it doesn't seem like something someone like you would say."

  "Life is as desolate as snow, a refined person like me, how could someone as common as you possibly understand?"

  "Fat boy Yang! You think you're so fat you can squeeze oil out of yourself!"

  It's said that although Yu Le had already reached the sixth stage of Condensed Shadow Realm, he had never been to the outskirts of Tu Shan before. According to his older brother, this place was not only a forbidden area for the Hu family but also seemed to be an unlucky place. Especially the Sunlit Peak of Tu Shan, where all sorts of paranormal events often occurred.

  Originally, he had come to the Extreme Joy with a heart full of curiosity and a hint of adventure, but it was quickly shattered by the bloody reality. In his eyes, the mysterious and powerful demon beasts were no different from the golden-haired beasts used as snacks in the hands of this butcher, Hu Gao.

  Watching Hu Gao effortlessly collect and skin a late-stage demonic beast, then nonchalantly cut its meat, Extreme Joy suddenly realized that the warriors in the War Academy were all just small fries! This guy must still be hiding his true strength. What a joke, a fifth-stage Shadow Realm warrior completely dominating a late-stage demonic beast?

  Damn it, I feel like I'm going crazy, can't enjoy playing anymore. "Hugao! I want to get stronger!"

  "Huh?" Hu Gao looked up at the strangely-expressing Yuè Lè with his head raised, and continued to focus on dealing with the corpse of the Cyan Winged Bull. This time, because he had brought a knife, it was indeed much faster to cut through its flesh. The creature's skin was thick and tough, requiring a perfect combination of internal energy and physical strength to split its meat apart.

  When the two powers are combined, they produce a violent energy that causes his body to vibrate slightly. On the surface, Hu Gao is cutting meat, but in reality, he is repeatedly trying to find a subtle balance.

  But he never thought that this unintentional action would hurt a kind-hearted boy's heart...
