Chapter 69: Young Master Zhou's Family

  Hu Gao was hesitant about whether to intervene and rescue Zhou Longqi, while also teaching the Driving Devil's Castle a lesson, but he did not expect that the situation in front of him was not what he had imagined.

  Young Master Zhou, Zhou Longqi, has a superficially arrogant and brainless appearance, but beneath that, he also has two parts of the cleverness belonging to the son of a noble family. He says that these enemies coming for him are actually after the Space Ring, which is not to say that Zhou Longqi is smart enough to ask passersby for help in this way, but rather that being kidnapped is more humiliating than being robbed.

  It was this action that misled Hu Gao.

  The purpose of these people from the Demon-Slaying Castle is more accurately directed at Zhou Longqi's Totem.

  Zhou Longqi's yuanli is green, and his totem is a fourth-order totem. Hu Gao can also feel that Zhou Longqi's totem aura is somewhat special.

  But this point is special, it's Zhou Longqi's biggest secret.

  Hu Gao only knew that relative to ordinary Totems, there was a variant Totem, which was a variation of some ordinary Totem, possessing special abilities. Like his own Blood Light Snake, its appearance was very similar to the Red String Snake, but it had special abilities. When awakening the Spirit, condensing the Totem, whether or not one could condense out a variant Totem could be said to be a moment that changed a person's, and even a family's destiny.

  Hu Gao was ostracized by a part of the Hu family and even assassinated, it is such a situation that he is related to the fate of the Hu tribe, the fate of different factions.

  But Hu Gao didn't know that there was another type of totem between ordinary totems and variant totems, this situation is the "awakening" of a totem. It's when a warrior first condenses their spirit, an awakened totem starts as an ordinary totem but in the process of growth, an ordinary totem awakens its heteromorphic ability due to certain circumstances and transforms into a variant totem.

  This process is very unstable, it's possible that the hen turns into a phoenix, but also possible that the bald phoenix is not as good as the chicken. More often than not, after waking up in the morning and urinating, it becomes soft again. The winners are all delighted, while the losers fall into the well and throw stones at each other.

  Zhou Longqi is just in the totem awakening stage, but his father is a bald phoenix who is not as good as a chicken, and he welcomes the beating of a fallen dog.

  Zhou Longqi also suffered unfair treatment in the Zhou family because of this, and developed a cheerful and eccentric personality in the eyes of the Zhou family members. However, to outsiders, Zhou Longqi still had great potential, so he was targeted by the Youyao Castle, intending to take him away when he left the Zhou family, interfering with his awakening process, and obtaining the powerful fourth-order variant Totem.

  Thus, there was this script of robbery on the road.

  He mistakenly took his bitter situation for a tragic one and ended up being misled.

  "Huh? Someone..."

  An old man in grey was fighting with Lin Fei when he suddenly felt a presence near a big tree not far away, and saw a young boy standing there. He looked over subconsciously and immediately saw Hu Gao standing calmly under the tree, his heart involuntarily filled with joy.

  But soon, the joy on his face turned into disappointment. He had hoped that a master would appear nearby to lend a hand, but he didn't expect it to be Hu Gao, a fifteen or sixteen year old youth, who showed up. He didn't even dare hope for Hu Gao's help.

  "Little brother, we are from the Zhou family of Longcheng. We hope you can hurry to Huoyan Valley now and help find someone from the Zhou family. Tell him that Young Master Zhou Longqi is being surrounded here and ask him to come quickly to rescue us."

  Although he didn't expect Hu Gao to lend a hand, the old man in gray still spoke up, not wanting Hu Gao to rescue them himself, but rather hoping that Hu Gao would go and help bring reinforcements.

  "Huh?"

  Upon hearing the old man in grey's shout, Lin Fei also furrowed his brow and looked towards Hu Gao. When he saw him, a flash of murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes. He hadn't expected that someone would be able to sneak up on him undetected. He didn't want this matter to leak out, nor did he want anyone to disrupt his current plan. So, he immediately shouted at the two Condensation Realm seventh-stage martial artists: "Hua Fan, Hua Song, you two go and take care of that little brat for me! Don't let him escape!"

  "Yes, big brother."

  The two of them quickly retreated from the battlefield where they were fighting against the old man in green, despite his desperate attempts to stop them, because he was being tightly entangled by two other eighth-stage Condensed Shadow Realm warriors.

  "Is there really no hope at all?"

  The old man in grey clothes had a hopeless color flowing out of his aged eyes.

  "Hey, buddy, can you handle those two? If not, just shout loudly and I'll take care of it."

  Zhou Longqi looked at Hu Gao, feeling somewhat curious about how Hu Gao had ventured alone into the Dragon Ape Mountains, but at this moment he was even more worried about Hu Gao's safety, as the two Condensation Realm seventh-stage warriors were already charging towards him at full speed.

  "Haha, don't worry about it, just two small Seventh-Order Condensed Shadow Realms, I'm not even bothered."

  Hú Gāo had long discovered that Zhōu Lóng Qí's yuan force was green, with a fourth-order totem, making him a talented person. If he summoned the totem to fight, it might have easily turned the tide of battle. However, the old man in gray clothes never allowed him to take action, probably not wanting to reveal something. Hú Gāo quite liked his attitude.

  The sound fell, Hu Gao's toes lightly touched the ground, and his figure flashed out of several meters in an instant, quickly approaching the two Seventh-Order Wielders of the Condensed Shadow Realm, and he continuously kicked out with both legs.

  Whirlwind Kick! Since leaving Ning City, Hu Gao finally met someone weaker than himself. He had never used this leg technique before, and it was about time he broke it in.

  These two legs were like two iron whips, whipping out and slamming into the bodies of the two men. The dense sound of cracking bones instantly rang out, and the two men's bodies also flew backward for four or five meters before crashing into a large tree and falling to the ground.

  It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Rather than always worrying about whether the other party will take out the Wind and Thunder Pearl, it's better to show a domineering side and make them worry, then immediately take out the Wind and Thunder Pearl, so that you can slip away safely.

  "Huh?"

  Everyone's mouth was agape at this scene, and the fighting actually stopped because of his performance.

  A fifteen or sixteen year old youth, actually kicked two Seventh Stage Martial Artists of the Congying Realm flying with one leg, and even made them faint and lose their lives, this...this is too frightening!

  "Wow, you're so awesome......" Zhou Longqi shouted loudly.

  "Damn it, I didn't expect there were two more brushes."

  Lin Fei's expression changed slightly, at this time he had already determined that Hu Gao's combat power was absolutely not weak and could already affect the situation here.

  However, the result will not change, your appearance has actually helped me out, and Zhou's little kid still belongs to me!

  He cast a sideways glance at the two elderly men who were stunned, as well as Zhou Longqi who was extremely excited, and his eyes revealed a hint of ferocity.

  "Gotcha! Hands up!"

  Lin Fei suddenly moved his body and flashed towards Zhou Longqi like lightning.

  "No good, he's going to hurt the young master, stop him quickly."

  The old man in grey only reacted now, but it was apparently too late, as Lin Fei was already within two meters of Zhou Longqi.

  At this time, even if Zhou Longqi wanted to summon the Totem's shadow, it seemed that he couldn't make it in time. He had become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

  Zhou Longqi also felt a strong sense of crisis approaching, the excitement on his face froze instantly, becoming somewhat pale. His totem was in the awakening stage and could not summon the totem's virtual shadow at all, how could he resist Lin Fei's powerful strength!

  "Hmph!"

  Just as Lin Fei's palm was about to land on Zhou Longqi, an even more piercing sound of breaking wind came from behind him. Before Lin Fei could turn his head back, he felt a chill in the middle of his back and saw a sword tip stained with blood appear on his chest.

  With the cultivation of the Nine Stages of Condensed Shadows, Lin Fei, who could fight on par with the Old Man in Grey, was killed so cleanly and efficiently by Hu Gao.

  The old man in grey robes froze, stunned on the spot. He was more aware than anyone of Lin Fei's incredible strength. Just now, when Lin Fei had gone to capture Zhou Shaoqi, even he hadn't reacted in time. He had thought things would become extremely dire, but unexpectedly, Hu Gao suddenly appeared out of nowhere and swiftly killed Lin Fei on the spot.

  Hu Gao didn't care about these people who were shocked to the point of being stunned, and after quickly killing Lin Fei, he swiftly took action again, his body flashing out like lightning, taking down the remaining two Condensed Shadow Eighth-Stage warriors.

  He finished all the movements with an incredible combo, and Hu Gao's hanging heart finally put down. He really didn't expect that one foot would bring such a huge opportunity for war, Lin Fei actually sold his back to himself without saying a word, and those two eighth-stage warriors were also stunned!

  This bet wins...

  Hu Gao wanted to find a phrase to describe his mood, but for a moment he couldn't think of the right one.

  Zhou Longqi's exclamation brought Hu Gao back to his senses.

  "Wow, bro, you're too awesome, killing these people is like killing chickens."

  Zhou Longqi seemed to have no awareness of the danger that had just been lifted, and seeing Hu Gao's display of such great strength, he was extremely excited, without even a hint of fear or tension.

  "This guy really thinks he's invincible just because he has a fourth-order Totem, doesn't he?"

  Hu Gao looked at Zhou Longqi, puzzled as to why he had such a reaction. Others who had gone through life and death crises would definitely be extremely frightened afterwards, but he seemed excited instead.

  Hú Gāo could be certain that if he hadn't made a move just now, Zhōu Lóng Qí would have definitely become a human shield. Not to mention that he didn't even have enough time to summon the Totem just now, even if he had summoned it, with his current strength and cultivation, he wouldn't have been able to withstand Lín Fēi for long.

  "This young brother, thank you for your timely assistance in rescuing our young master."

  The old man in grey clothes walked forward and saluted Hu Gao with a fist after confirming that Zhou Longqi was unharmed.

  As for this young man, he was truly grateful. If Zhou Longqi got into trouble, not to mention the huge punishment he would receive when he returned, just being unfilial to his late father would make the two of them unable to show their faces.

  They could tell that Hu Gao's background was definitely not ordinary, but at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he already had the strength to kill a ninth-stage Wudang master. This was not something that an ordinary power could cultivate, and they thought that their young master was only fourteen years old, with a cultivation level of only seventh-stage Wudang, and even used countless cultivation resources. They thought it was already a pretty good achievement, but compared to Hu Gao, he still fell short.

  It can be determined from this that Hu Gao's identity is not simple and will not be inferior to their young master.

  "It's nothing, I didn't entirely help you young masters just to save you, so there's no need for such thanks."

  Hu Gao smiled, but his words were different from what he was thinking in his heart.

  "No matter what the young master wants, since you've helped us out this time, if there's anything I can do for you in the future, just give me an order and I'll do my best to fulfill it."

  Although the old man in grey looked quite enthusiastic, Hu Gao really wanted to give him three words: no sincerity!

  "The old man doesn't have to be so polite to me." But it's hard to say that out loud, and instead it makes me sound like a spoiled child.
