Chapter 128: Escaping from Death

  She stared intently at the figure in the distance, a mix of familiarity and strangeness, and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotions. Just one day ago, he was just prey, yet now she found herself worrying about his safety?

  Can he really kill the Wolf King? That's a three-stage peak Silver Moon Demon Wolf!

  Hu Cai's bitter smile, if she hadn't been injured, perhaps she could have helped him with all her might. The successor of the Hu family, unexpectedly a daring and unscrupulous guy, could it be that the Hu family is really going to rise again?

  The silver wolf was enraged by Hu Gao, its roar echoing through the entire valley, its hair standing on end, and a pair of silver eyes seemed to have transformed into a full moon. It appeared to be gathering strength within its body, preparing for a final blow against Hu Gao.

  Hu Gao was undaunted, his expression unchanged as before. Seeing the Silver Moon Demon Wolf unleash its true power, he didn't dare to be careless either. With a burst of energy, he swung out with his sword, Force Origin Flowing Star, and a majestic beam of Yuan energy shot out, transforming into a dazzling ray of light that resembled a shooting star, striking the Silver Moon Demon Wolf.

  Two dazzling rays of light collided, Hu Gao also went all out, the strongest ultimate move was used, it can be seen that this time's duel between the two sides is extremely terrifying.

  Some inferior demon wolves around the Wolf King were directly blown away by a force, their mouths and noses bleeding, with large patches of white appearing on their shiny black fur, more than half of which had fallen off.

  Seeing Hu Gao burst out with even more powerful strength, these demonic wolves became even more fearful. The previous Hu Gao was already ruthless and deadly to them, but this overwhelming aura was something they had never felt before.

  Even as demonic beasts, they felt a sense of fear in their bones, just like when facing the Silver Moon Demon Wolf. Hu Gao's sudden burst of aura was enough to intimidate them.

  The pack of wolves involuntarily retreated, clearing the way for Hu Gao. This move ended with neither side gaining the upper hand, and the wolf king's blood flowed out even more fiercely, but the beastly light in its eyes grew stronger.

  The wolf king's intelligence was extremely high, and he seemed to have seen through several of Hu Gao's plans. A resolute look appeared in his eyes, wanting a quick battle to be decided quickly.

  Suddenly, the wolf king's shadow disappeared. Hu Gao raised his head to look up and saw a huge black shadow falling from the sky, carrying a stench of blood, pouncing towards him.

  "I'm the king of the pot! A wolf dares to be arrogant? I'm the tyrant!" Hu Gao also burst out, his eyes even colder, Silver Moon Wolf was desperate, he wasn't one to be trifled with either. Hu certain person rolled up his sleeves and went into battle bare-armed.

  Hu Gao looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, waved the Shadowless Sword in his hand, and clashed with Lang Xie again. After a fierce exchange, he quickly retreated several steps, his wrist numb from the shock, and half of his arm aching.

  "It's incredibly powerful, the strength of a third-tier peak demon beast, I'm afraid not even one in ten can withstand it." Hu Gao secretly felt shocked. The move he had just used to counterattack was indeed a clever trick, dissipating most of the force and only lightly striking with a Taiji palm.

  However, the wound on the wolf king's body burst open again, and fresh blood flowed out. The wolf king saw that this sneak attack did not take Hu Gao's life, and he involuntarily let out a furious roar towards the sky. His eyes widened in extreme horror.

  Those blue eyes were raised, filled with coldness, tightly biting his chin.

  "You still want to attack? I'll boil you in the next second, come on!" Hu Gao shouted, with a face full of disdain. He had been holding back his resentment, being looked down upon by a wolf, what kind of dignity was that.

  The silver light flashed brightly, the big tail swept away, a mouthful of icy wolf teeth were exposed, and a fierce howl was directed at Hu Gao. Hu Gao directly used a move from the Force Origin Starfall, a single sword strike from top to bottom, directly killing towards the Silver Moon Demon Wolf.

  Suddenly, thousands of demon wolves let out a loud howl, each one more ferocious than the last, but none dared to step forward and stop Hu Gao. The Wolf King's bleeding stopped instantly, creating an eerie scene!

  Hú Gāo was stunned for a second, and at this moment, the wolf king's deadly claw had already reached out, and the snow-white wolf tail behind him also swept over directly.

  Boom!

  Hú Gāo's Lì Yuán meteor was also unable to withstand, and he was defeated on the spot. He flew up along with his entire body, his throat felt a wave of sweetness, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

  "Wo Zifa, are you really going to lie down here?" Hu Gao cursed loudly. This time he suffered a big loss, and that one wolf tail was still shooting towards his own chest, the power of this wolf king's broken tail exceeded Hu Gao's imagination.

  Just as Hu Gao closed his eyes, ready to return to the heavenly kingdom, a light sword suddenly flew in from the distant horizon, blocking Lang Huan's fatal attack. Immediately following the light sword, a beautiful horseback appeared, directly cutting Lang Huan's tail into two segments.

  The howling Wolf King's voice began to weaken, and after a long low growl, the countless tiny blood holes on his body burst out with a sky full of fresh blood, setting the entire sky ablaze.

  Then, the massive body of the Silver Moon Wolf crashed down, its ferocious eyes filled with unwillingness, its neck still raised in a posture that seemed to declare the dignity of a king. This beast, which had brought the most trouble to Hu Gao so far, ended its life in this way!

  "Woah, Fak!" Hu Gao shouted loudly, trying to vent the extremely tense emotions he had just experienced. When faced with this real danger of death, he found that he was not as confident and brave as he had imagined. Would he have such good luck next time?

  "What? Are you scared silly by this extent?" A familiar voice sounded in Hu Gao's ear.

  " Ninth Elder?" Hu Gao twisted his slightly stiff neck, and when he saw the Ninth Elder walking slowly with a gloomy face, he didn't feel relieved at all, but instead had a feeling of being played.

  The most crucial thing is that this feeling can only be suppressed in one's heart, after all, it was Hu Gao himself who didn't allow family members to follow him back then.

  Jiǔ Lǎo Hu Yuán Jìn, this clan elder who shares the same ancestry as Hu Gāo, looked like he had aged a lot more than Hu Gāo since leaving Ning City. Even his jet-black hair was streaked with several strands of silver, and the vitality of youth that once set him apart from others had completely succumbed to the ravages of time.

  Looking at Hu Gao's ever-changing expression, Hu Yuan knew what he was thinking and scolded him in a bad temper, "Do you think you're so important that I need to keep an eye on you personally? Do you know what kind of predicament our family is facing now?"

  It's still the Ninth Elder who isn't very good at talking!

  Hu Gao remained silent, but he naturally remembered what the Ninth Elder had said when he came to visit him with the Elder of the Underworld. This guy who had been trying to bring him into the Departed Spirit System, but chose to remain neutral during the Departed Spirit Rebellion, would speak to him in such a shrewish tone. It seemed that quite a few things had indeed happened over these past few months.

  Hú Gāo struggled to get up from the ground, his powerful healing ability had already taken effect in this short period of time, although it made his head ache a bit, but compared to letting Hú Yuǎn see through his trump card, he could still endure this pain.

  "Elder, just say what you want to say, can't just put the blame on me for no reason." Hu Gao patted the dust off his body, the surrounding pack of demonic wolves had quickly dispersed like the ebbing tide with the departure of the Silver Moon Demon Wolf. He caught sight of Yun Feng and the other two returning, walking towards him with slight trembles.

  Hu Yuanjin, who had a strong sense of clan loyalty, was really at a loss with Hu Gao. Who knew whether the one speaking to him now was the Guardian God or that humble soul? "The Silver Moon Wolf is no ordinary demon beast. I followed this guy here. The Lang family should have already known about your successor's identity by now."

  "Lang family?" Hu Gao recalled the middle school student he met when he first arrived on Totem Continent, especially that guy's totem shadow resembling a wolf during battles. Looking at the Silver Moon Wolf in front of him, he said uncertainly, "Could it be that Lang family has the ability to control wolves?"

  Hu Yuanjin furrowed his brow and didn't immediately respond to Hu Gao. He seemed to have caught wind of another danger, feeling that something was off. "This isn't a place for conversation, let's head back to Ning City first!"

  "I'll take a few people back with me." Hu Gao pointed at Yun Feng and his two companions who had already walked over.

  No sooner had he finished speaking than Yun Feng rushed over with a comical gait, excitedly throwing a punch at Hu Gao's chest, which left him grimacing in pain.

  Hu Gao covered his chest, looked Cloud Feng up and down, then smiled bitterly and said, "I'm telling you, Cloud Feng, you're a holy white-clothed swordsman. If the girls saw you like this, it would be a rhythm that destroys three views."

  Han Chong, who was standing beside him, saw that Hu Gao could still make jokes and felt a strange taste in his heart. Given the life-and-death bond between the three of them at Yao's tomb, it wasn't because he had retreated to save the situation earlier that made him feel uncomfortable. In the end, this emotion stemmed from his own weakness.

  If it weren't for the disparity in strength, why would a gentleman seek revenge even after ten years? If one were strong enough themselves, why would they need to let Hu Gao stand out and protect them every time they're in danger?

  Han Chong, who had always thought of himself as a member of the aristocracy, had his deeply hidden pride thoroughly shattered by Hu Gao at this moment.

  What followed was the expression on his face, a mixture of joy and relief that Hu Gao had not died, and the gloominess of having his own beliefs shattered. He looked like a man who had been thoroughly defeated by a woman.

  Hu Gao saw all of this and thought that Han Chong's mental process was not complicated. Simply put, this feeling is similar to the emotion a top student feels when they see their good brother scoring higher than them on an exam.

  Hu Gao, who is familiar with this feeling, knows that what is needed at this time is not his hypocritical encouragement. If Han Chong really has great potential, he can adjust his mental state and strive for even greater achievements.

  The nine elders looked at Hu Cai Piao with some suspicion, the second elder representing the Ze Bai clan had always held a strong hostile attitude towards the successor, would he send someone to protect Hu Gao? If it was said that he came to assassinate Hu Gao, he might have believed it even more.

  The gaze of the nine elders made Hu Cai's heart skip a beat, being stared at by such a powerful being from the Yuan boundary. If it were someone else, they might not have been able to withstand this pressure.
