Chapter 87: The Crowd's Fury

  "How could I have lost?!"

  Watching Hu Gao swallow another Yuan Restoration Pill and slowly regain his color, Han Chong still couldn't believe this fact.

  When he first launched the "Long Dragon Dance Heaven" move, he felt that the battle was already decided and he would win without a doubt. However, when Hu Gao managed to barely block this move with all his might, the heart that had been so confident in victory now had cracks forming within it. Finally, as the icy sword tip pressed against his throat, Han Chong suddenly became somewhat stunned and lost his senses.

  "Brother!"

  Han Ning called out softly behind him, his face filled with worry, he was really worried that Han Chong would leave an indelible shadow in his heart because of this matter, after all, Han Chong was just a teenager, and when the time came, his achievements would not be as brilliant as before.

  Han Cong waved his hand and stared at Hu Gao with a complex expression, but didn't say anything.

  After taking the Bu Yuan Dan, Hu Gao only felt his energy rapidly recovering throughout his body. The entire process took less than five seconds, and he could feel his energy gradually becoming full again.

  However, he still didn't dare to make any sudden movements. Although his yuan power had recovered, his injuries hadn't lightened much. The jade pendant's speed of healing was fast, but for such severe injuries, it would still take some time. After all, if another warrior were in his place, they might be left with endless scars.

  Hu Gao's mental state didn't improve with his physical recovery, the previous battle made him feel a lot, it could be said that he was in extreme danger. He glanced at Han Chong who still looked somewhat stunned and suddenly felt that this kind of warrior's most pure fight was actually cruel to the extreme!

  Do you have to step on others to get up? Hu Gao rubbed his nose and had some different thoughts in his mind.

  "Hey, I say, let's just call this duel a draw, what do you think?" Hu Gao flashed his spring breeze-like smile once again, just like when he was reborn into this world, as if infecting every warrior around him.

  A space ring is important, but how can it compare with making another friend?

  Others heard Hu Gao's suggestion and suddenly boiled over. The previous Hu Gao didn't seem like the kind of good guy who would let a treasure slip through his fingers, could it be that this guy suddenly had an epiphany and developed some heroic sentiment towards Han Chong?

  Han Cong was also stunned when he heard Hu Gao's words, but he quickly walked to the front of Hu Gao, took off the space ring from his finger in front of him, and handed it over: "I lost, and I admit defeat!"

  Hu Gao didn't expect this guy to be so stubborn, he shook his head and refused to accept it.

  "Winning or losing isn't important, why bother being pretentious here? But I do have one thing I'd like to ask you, how did you manage to pull off that move? Why couldn't I understand it at all?"

  Han Cong asked about Hu Gao's last sword, his first feeling was that the sword was very ordinary, but soon he dispelled this idea.

  Because he found that this sword contained infinite mysteries, it can be said that there was no flaw at all, changing and transforming, making people wonder, at that time he chose to resist because he had no way to break through this move.

  With his own strength in attack, it was not a big problem for him to withstand Hu Gao's sword, and he also successfully withstood Hu Gao's attack.

  But in the last moment, Hu Gao's body burst out with a strong aura once again, using his momentum to shatter his defense and turn the tide of battle from defeat to victory.

  "I once saw a sentence in a book, called 'No move is better than any move', the sword just now was my understanding." Hu Gao had to take over the space ring, but the secret of his Lonely Nine Swords was naturally not suitable for speaking out, and could only temporarily come up with another famous phrase from his previous life.

  Is the no-style superior to the style? Upon hearing this phrase, Han Cong's face turned solemn. He didn't expect Hu Gao to share his insights with him, but surprisingly, Hu Gao didn't follow conventional logic. From unexpectedly saving Yun Feng earlier to winning against himself and not wanting the reward, he even shared his martial arts insights generously. The more Han Cong observed this guy who seemed to be in control of everything despite his unpredictable behavior, the more he couldn't understand him.

  Hu Gao looked at Han Chong's expression and knew that he had already been poisoned by the divine sentence, so he didn't say anything else. Instead, he studied the spatial ring in his hand, which was the first spatial ring he had obtained in his life, and there was still a hint of excitement in his heart.

  The spatial ring is different from ordinary treasures, and to control it, one needs to leave a mark of divine soul in it. Hu Gao studied for half a day without success, and could only reluctantly ask Yun Fengwu for guidance on the side.

  For Yun Feng, this local tyrant, it was really unexpected that Hu Gao didn't know how to use the space ring. Subconsciously, he regarded Hu Gao as a motivational figure who came from an ordinary background but achieved such success through hard work and self-reliance. He even sighed in his heart, no wonder this guy's previous greed for wealth was somewhat annoying, it turned out that it was due to poverty. In his heart, he felt a few more points of brotherly affection towards Hu Gao.

  Under Yun Feng's meticulous guidance, Hu Gao successfully left a mark in the spatial ring, and everything inside was instantly visible.

  "Woah, Watzek! This Korean guy doesn't look like much, but who would have thought he has a hobby of collecting treasures? How amazing!"

  Hú Gāo was astonished to discover that the treasures inside the spatial ring were in no way inferior to those he and Yún Fēng had obtained, containing all sorts of medicinal pellets, herbs, and several decent-looking precious artifacts, making for a pleasant surprise.

  "Boss, I suggest you'd better leave here first, don't linger around. Haven't you noticed that many people are staring at you with the same gaze as if they were looking at a naked beauty?"

  At this time, Xiao Wu's voice echoed in his mind.

  "Huh? I didn't expect that I'm now being remembered by so many people. It seems like I should gather all the treasures and leave this place first."

  Hugao nodded slightly and then put all the other treasures into the spatial ring, without even saying goodbye to Han Chong, and was about to leave.

  Anyway, he has already achieved his goal for today, and it's perfectly done.

  However, he and Yunfeng had only taken a few steps when a large group of warriors surrounded them, all with cold smiles and murderous intentions.

  "Hu Gao, little brother, are you planning to leave just like that? You've won so many good things and don't even want to share with everyone?"

  "Haha, a little brat like you actually wants to wear a space ring? Hand it over quickly, or you won't be leaving this place today."

  "Haha, hand over everything and you might just make it out alive."

  In the face of absolute benefit, there are few people who can still maintain a rational mentality, and everyone's sneer is accompanied by an uncontrollable greed.

  These people are all individually powerful, and they have all reached the ninth stage of the Condensed Shadow Realm or higher. Most of them had previously challenged Yun Feng, but unfortunately lost, and their treasures were all taken away. The initial surge of momentum has now cooled down, and they want Hu Gao to return the treasures to them.

  Some of the slightly stronger condensed shadow realm ninth-level peak warriors even directly placed their target on the spatial ring in Hu Gao's hand.

  A single space ring is worth tens of millions of gold coins. If they can get it, they will be set for life and never have to worry again.

  "You're looking for trouble!"

  Yun Feng let out a furious roar, the long sword in his hand suddenly unsheathing itself. Facing dozens of 9th-stage Condensed Shadow Realm warriors, there was not a hint of fear or retreat on his face, but instead an abundance of anger and killing intent.

  "Yunfeng, your strength is formidable. If it were just one or two people, or even three to five people, we might not be a match for you. But here, there are dozens of us, and each person's cultivation has reached the 9th stage of Condensed Shadow Realm. Are you certain that you alone can hold us back?"

  The captain of the Sky Shadow Adventure Team said with a cold smile, his eyes icy cold.

  "You can give it a try!"

  Yun Feng was calm and fearless. Although he knew that the strength of both sides was vastly different, he had never thought of abandoning Hu Gao to face the difficulties alone.

  Behind him, his four bodyguards were all tense-faced but none retreated, standing tightly beside Yun Feng and protecting him and Hu Gao in the middle.

  Another peak warrior of the Ninth Stage of the Congying Realm burst out laughing: "Haha, it seems you really want to die. Since you're looking for death yourself, don't blame us for being ruthless. We can't defeat you in a fair challenge, but killing you now also gives us a chance to be summoned by a senior master and taken as their direct disciple."

  "Can an arm stop a cart? What if I add mine too?"

  A domineering aura suddenly rose from beside, Han Chong strode out and walked to Yun Feng's side. "I really didn't expect that you would be such petty people. No wonder your cultivation has stagnated at the Condensed Shadow Realm. With such a temperament, how can you possibly break through?"

  "Han Chong, are you also going to help him? He just won your space ring, and once we get it back, we'll return it to you. We hope you'll stand by and watch the show, don't interfere with this matter."

  Dozens of people's faces changed slightly, Han Chong's fighting power was evident to all, and it was not comparable to that of an ordinary 9th-level Condensed Shadow Realm warrior. Moreover, just now in his fight with Hu Gao, anyone with discerning eyes could see that he had not been injured at all, and his yuan force consumption was not great either. If they were to engage in a fight, it's possible that they would pay a terrible price, which would be unbearable. Therefore, for the time being, they could only try to placate him first.

  "Do you take me for a three-year-old kid? I can tell you clearly that if anyone wants to make a move on Hu Gao today, they must get my approval first. Whoever dares to..."

  Han Cong let out a loud laugh, his eyes scanning them in a circle, the long gun in his hand suddenly shaking, killing intent bursting forth: "Then I'll kill whoever!"

  "Han Chong, you..."

  Everyone was shocked and did not expect that Han Chong, who had just suffered a great loss at the hands of Hu Gao, would be so resolute. This was beyond everyone's expectations.
