Chapter 125: The Beautiful Assassin
Yun Feng saw that the ambusher was also using a sword, and in a moment of excitement, he didn't summon his Totem for the time being. Instead, he joined forces with Han Chong and started entangling with the enemy.
Hú Gāo managed to catch his breath, hastily summoning spiritual energy to accelerate the healing of the wounds on his shoulders and back, especially the palm print on his back. If it were another warrior, they would have probably gone to meet their maker already.
Han Chongding was at the forefront, and in just a few moments of confrontation, his shoulders, waist, and legs were already covered with terrifying scars. If he wasn't skilled in defensive-type Yuan Decisions, the current situation wouldn't be much better than Hu Gao's.
Yun Feng had been walking and fighting behind his back, but the gap between him and his opponent in terms of boundary made up for his shortcomings in swordsmanship. Every time their weapons clashed, Yun Feng's primordial energy churned in his dantian, and his blood surged upwards.
Fortunately, the attacker seemed to be holding back and did not deal a fatal blow to either of them, instead appearing to want to flee the scene.
Hú Gāo slowly walked over, took a look at the situation on the battlefield, although the ambusher had been holding the upper hand all along, but somehow felt that they were not giving it their all. It seemed that they should be more skilled in ambush and assassination, but prolonged battles and wars of attrition were not their strong suit, which was why this kind of situation had arisen.
By this inference, the enemy's strength should be around three to four stages of Tongti, and the higher boundary is also limited. The Blood Light Snake's Departed Spirit Stab should still have a good effect on it!
Hu Gao quietly got up and slowly approached the battlefield, taking advantage of Yun Feng's sudden attack. Suddenly, he let out a loud shout, "Divine Spear!"
The Bloodlight Serpent suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a blood-colored light burst out from it, transforming into a blood sword that struck the opponent like lightning.
"Don't be stunned! Take drastic measures!"
"Divine Strike" is not a skill that can be used repeatedly, and the opportunity to use it is fleeting. Hu Gao raised his Shadowless Sword and charged over, immediately striking several times in quick succession, all of which targeted the opponent's weak points.
Han Cong saw the situation and also launched a fierce attack, directly knocking the ambusher to the ground. Although he himself was also hit by a powerful backlash of yuan force, his life was not in great danger.
"Wo Zifa, you almost fell here this time!" Hu Gao spat out a mouthful of blood foam. The previous terrifying danger in the Yao Mu hadn't killed him, but if he were to be stabbed to death by someone's sword here, that would truly be a great injustice.
"Huh? This person seems to be a woman." Yun Feng sheathed his twin swords and walked over.
"You're despicable!" the sneak attacker suddenly shouted loudly, although she had been heavily injured by Han Chong and Hu Gao's repeated attacks, but the difference in their cultivation levels meant that she hadn't completely lost consciousness.
"This generation, even thieves don't know to wear a black veil before running out, truly amateurish!" Hu Gao said with disdain, not even having the slightest bit of vigilance left in him, it was really too boring. But just the next moment, Hu Gao was immediately attracted by his opponent's face, and couldn't say a word.
"Brother Hu? What's wrong?" Yún Fēng, who was standing beside him, was a natural fool. Seeing the beauty, he didn't move or change color, but instead turned to care about Hú Gāo.
"I'm fine." Hu Gao snapped out of his daze, this woman's chin was so beautifully shaped, her eyes were like a kaleidoscope, enchanting. Wasn't she from the Hu tribe? She seemed to have some resemblance to Hu Wushuang, could it be that there was still someone in the Hu family who had not given up on plotting against him?
"Hu Gao brothers, this woman looks like... seems a bit like you guys..." Han Chong wanted to say something but stopped, as if he had guessed the woman's origin.
"Hmm, I've noticed it too, the Hu tribe doesn't seem to be at peace either." Hu Gao's helpless bitter smile. I treat this otherworldly realm like a first love, yet why must you guys torment me thousands of times?
"Ah, Brother Hu is indeed a genius, and within the family, he must have been envied by many. As they say, 'a tall tree attracts strong winds.' I can deeply relate to this. Yun Feng, after all, was famous at a young age, and although it seems glorious on the surface, he probably suffered from many underhanded schemes within the family. In the end, in this continent, what's called 'family affection' ultimately still respects only the strong."
This is even more evident in the Lang clan of Yuecheng. It's said that the current head of the Lang clan was just a small branch leader back then, and later even colluded with external strong enemies, slaughtering the entire family of the previous head and suppressing all those who were not obedient, only then did he sit on the throne of the head!
"You know my methods, and by that time, you might not even have the chance to speak. " Hu Gao stared at this woman, pacing back and forth with a sinister look on his face, chuckling to himself, making the beautiful woman's heart skip a beat.
"Brother, isn't this a bit too much?" Han Chong teased.
Hu Gao's expression was calm, "As a brother, I'm just observing the prey, you see, this beauty's figure, first of all, her chest is as big as the head of a dragon, and her face looks like that of an infant who has just learned to walk, so tender. This is what they call doll-like complexion."
Next, let's take a look at her waist, which can be grasped with both hands and is just below the chest. Isn't this the golden ratio that aristocrats strive for? As for the crucial buttocks, they are plump but not large, and slightly raised upwards, doesn't it make you swallow your saliva?
Looking down further, the entire leg is slightly longer than the upper body, straight and slender, most importantly, the thighs and calves are not separated at all, such a leg shape is rare to find in ten thousand people, such a stunning beauty, if sold to a brothel wouldn't it be a waste of heaven's gift?
Hu Gao's words were absolutely revealing of his profound understanding of Ai Wei, and Han Chong and Yun Feng were both stunned by what he said. They had never thought that a woman could be described in such a way.
"Or else, shall we sell it at the auction house?" Yun Feng's mind still hadn't turned around, and he said foolishly.
"Don't sell me out, I'm telling you!"
The woman lying on the ground had already blushed with shame when she heard Hu Gao's evaluation, and when she heard Yun Feng's words, her whole body was like being struck by lightning, and a chill ran down to her bones. If she were put up for auction, that feeling would be truly worse than death.
Hu Gao did not expect that Yun Feng would accidentally hit the right spot, and before he could make his move, this seemingly chaste woman had already reached her limit, which also saved a lot of time.
"My name is Hu Cai Piao, I was sent by the Second Elder to kill you. He said you're just a fake heir trying to destroy the foundation of our Hu family, that's all I know!"
Two elders? Hu Gao vaguely remembered that this guy had suspicions about his identity when he first crossed over, and later seemed to have temporarily taken over as the head of the Zhe White family after the Bai Xiao assassination event. He didn't expect this guy to be hiding in silence all along, waiting until he came to Longjia Mountain Range before sending someone to assassinate him.
"Second Elder is a highly respected elder in the clan, how can he possibly do such a thing? Stop spouting nonsense here." Hu Gao pretended to be skeptical, but based on this woman's words alone, it would be difficult for him to bring down Second Elder.
"Hmph, if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!" Hu Cai Piao didn't buy Hu Gao's story.
Xue Te, Hu Gao really has no good way to deal with women. Considering the status of the two elders in the clan, even if he sends out Hu Cai Piao, there will be no evidence or leverage left behind. No matter how much pressure is applied, it won't have much significance.
"What shall we do?" said the two brothers.
If the attacker was a man, Hu Gao might have killed him directly and abandoned his body in the wilderness. But since it was such an extraordinary beauty of a woman, this really made him somewhat worried.
"Her boundary is higher than ours. If we don't kill her, I'm afraid she'll be a disaster if left behind." Han Chong guessed what Hu Gao meant, but he still had some concerns.
"This is indeed the case!" Hu Gao nodded, and Hu Cai Piao should have reached the middle stage of Tong Ti by now. If it weren't for the Blood Light Snake's variant totem ability, she would be able to take on three people with ease. But if she were to recover from her injuries, things wouldn't be so easy to control.
However, thinking of this, Hu Gao suddenly remembered the Blood Slave Oath. If he could use this move to subdue a beautiful woman with a higher cultivation level than himself as his blood slave, wouldn't that be incredibly satisfying?
"Goodness gracious, when did I become so wicked? Hu Gao patted his forehead and thought about it, then decided to let her go after all. They were all from the Hu family, and it wouldn't be good to kill them off completely."
"Alright, considering you're all from the Hu family, you can go."
"Ah, big brother, she's hurt you so badly and yet you let her go?" Han Chong couldn't understand Hu Gao's logic. In the eyes of the young masters of their clan, not avenging a grudge was unacceptable, and being too soft would only lead to chaos among the many branch disciples.
"When you can spare someone, do spare them. Besides, she's just a pawn in someone else's hands. What's the point of making it a matter of life and death?" Hu Gao sighed and said.
He didn't expect that his unintentional words would hit Hu Caihong's soft spot, causing this female assassin to suddenly have sparkling eyes, with a few clear tears rolling around like in a curved lake, making the onlooker also feel a bit of sadness.
"Are you really letting me go?"
"...... Let's go, before I change my mind." Hu Gao left behind a back view, saying lightly.
"What a beauty is a calamity indeed." Yun Feng couldn't help but sigh.
Hu Cai floated and struggled to get up from the ground, earlier Hu Gao's Wuying Sword actually didn't cause much harm to her, only Han Chong's last shot, which happened to hit at the critical moment when she was distracted, causing severe damage to her entire chest cavity. Earlier when she was lying on the ground, she had been quietly circulating the healing Yuan Decision to treat her injuries, otherwise she might not even be able to stand up.
Watching the beauty stumble and stagger as she walked, Hu Gao's heart softened again. To this extent, let alone returning to Ning City, I'm afraid she would be eaten by a demon beast directly.
"I'm telling you, Han Chong, aren't you a self-proclaimed real man?" Hu Gao said with a glance at Han Chong beside him. "How can you bear to watch a weak woman return like this without lending a hand?"
"You poke her nose, and she... is also considered a weak woman?" Han Chong thought about the wound he had just been cut by the sword, which was still throbbing in pain. Was Hu Gao crazy?
