Chapter 140: Sudden Mutation

  Just as Yun Feng's fellow disciple didn't know how to explain it to him, a kind-hearted person next to them jumped out and said, "You're not from Ning City, are you?"

  Yun Feng was already on edge, and when a stranger suddenly interrupted their conversation, his face fell.

  Tongmen knew Yunfeng's nature, and he had been sent to Ning City for a short time, but he also knew that this city was passionate because of the many adventurers, even ordinary civilians were extremely enthusiastic, so he nodded in a friendly manner.

  "Ling Yao is the pride of our Ning City Qian Si Adventurer's Guild, she just broke through to the Tong Ti realm on this very stage, what a genius! Even in the entire Long Hua country, I'm afraid she can live up to that name!"

  It turns out that the audience is still a die-hard fan of Li Yao, although the situation on the field is not yet clear. However, Li Yao initially relied on his Condensing Shadow Realm strength to resist the warrior with the Body of All Realms, and has persisted until now, which is already enough for him to be proud of.

  "Break through during a match?" Yun Feng realized his mistake at this time and forced himself to calm down.

  It seems that Hu Gao's opponent is not simple, and the Ning City War Institute is indeed a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. No wonder his master had told him before to never easily set foot in Ning City. Think about it, even an old lady selling roasted meat on the street has astonishing strength, so naturally the warriors in this institute can't be underestimated either.

  Yun Feng stared at Li Wu on the stage, carefully looking at this seductive female warrior, as if to remember her face.

  Liu on the stage did not know that she had been targeted, and she, who had no healing ability at all, was now on the verge of collapse due to excessive blood loss, and her eyes were starting to get a little blurry.

  Hú Gāo was no exception, the aftereffects of excessive mental exhaustion had begun to manifest, leaving him simultaneously suffering from both physical and mental anguish. The movements in his hands had become subconscious actions; the sword strikes he sent out would take a few seconds before he could feel the true tactile sensation of the sword tip coming into contact with his opponent's flesh.

  "What's going on here?" Yang Le saw the bloody scene in front of her, and her original intention to teach Hu Gao a lesson also cooled down. She didn't want the lesson to turn into some kind of terrible shadow, that would be troublesome.

  "Huh?" Wen Zhong turned his head and looked at Yang, "Is it going to end the competition?"

  Yang Le nodded, "If they keep fighting, I'm afraid those two will really die..."

  Wen Zhong revealed a hint of a smile, "A warrior's life and death should be decided by themselves, shouldn't it?"

  Yang Le suddenly felt that Wen Zhong's smile was very similar to a demon beast. This guy with a face full of smiles, what kind of heart did he have to make such a cruel decision?

  Just as the two were saying this, a swift arrow suddenly shot out from an unnoted corner!

  No one could see clearly the trajectory of this flying arrow, even though the cyan primordial light radiating from that flying arrow was so dazzling!

  When everyone reacted, the arrow had already pierced through Hu Gao's left chest! The inner armor of Hu Gao's middle-grade human rank was as fragile as a thin paper under this arrow!

  Hu Gao stared blankly at the arrow that had pierced through his chest, looking in disbelief at the bright crimson stain on his chest.

  Death, since crossing over, Hu Gao felt this word was so close to himself for the first time.

  "Can I finally stop and rest?" Hu Gao could no longer suppress the waves of pain that were transmitted from his brain, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell down.

  "Daring rogue! How dare you commit murder in my Ning City Martial Arts Academy!"

  In the sky, a loud and powerful voice burst forth like thunder, accompanied by an enormous grey shadow sweeping across the horizon, shrouding the martial arena in an ominous gloom, leaving all spectators stunned and terrified!

  No one had ever thought that someone would dare to assassinate the heir of the Ning City Hu family so openly and brazenly, and on the grounds of the War Institute at that. Had the world gone mad?

  "What's going on?" Yang Le heard the familiar voice, a puzzled expression appeared on her face, but at this moment she couldn't care about that much, and could only rush onto the martial arts stage to see how badly Hu Gao was injured.

  At the same time, Yunfeng also shouted Hu Gao's name and rushed up, his speed was not much slower than Yang Le. And at this moment, Li Wu finally fell to the ground on the martial arts stage, like a lonely winner...

  The martial arena immediately fell into chaos, and no one cared about the outcome of the match anymore. Countless ordinary people panicked and wanted to leave the arena, fearing that they would be innocently involved in the dispute between high-end warriors.

  As for the various strong men in the war hall, they were all confused and disorganized. This kind of chaos had never happened before, and just maintaining order was enough to keep them busy, let alone having time to pursue the culprit who attacked Hu Gao.

  "Unexpectedly, even the Dean himself took action?" Dugu Sheng was led by two guards, calmly and unhurriedly leaving the podium. As the rotating head of this martial arts competition, he would be held mainly responsible for this incident.

  "Vice President, what should we do now?" The guard leader asked hastily as he saw Dugu Sheng squeeze out of the crowd, as if seeing a lifesaver.

  "Divide the troops into three routes, one route to escort Hu Gao back to their ancestral temple to treat his injuries, one route to protect the evacuation of the civilians, and another route to assist me in capturing the murderer with the principal!"

  Dugu Sheng, although somewhat conservative, was not weak in ability. In a very short period of time, he came up with an effective strategy for rapid response.

  "Yes!" The guard leader responded loudly, with a clear mind and a sense of direction, things went much more smoothly. He immediately arranged the personnel according to Dugu Sheng's instructions, neat and efficient.

  "This year's Ning City is really a autumn of many things!"

  Duguang looked at Yang Le and Hu Gao on the stage, sighed with some helplessness. Before that, he was too obsessed with his son's loss in the competition, which led to this final being not taken seriously enough, resulting in a mistake. If he can't catch the murderer next time, he will probably face the anger of both the principal and the Hu family.

  Thinking of this, Gu Du no longer hesitated and brought a few trusted guards to rush towards the figure in front.

  "Ah Hu, let's go." Wang Fei said, pulling her little brother's hand and standing up.

  "Sister, I'm worried about Hu Gao!" Wang Hu looked at the chaotic crowd on the martial stage with some reluctance. He couldn't see Hu Gao's situation inside, but judging from his injuries at the time, he feared for his life and death.

  "Don't worry, he won't die. The Hu family has nine lives, it's not that easy to die." Wang Fei said calmly, "The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop, Ning City can no longer stay calm. This peaceful continent of several thousand years may once again see the rise of turmoil."

  Wang Hu had always listened to his sister since he was young, and never questioned her decisions. But this time, he was confused - why would his sister say such a thing? This person who was the only close relative he had, seemed to be hiding countless secrets.

  "Ah Hu, I know you have many questions, but it's not time to tell you everything yet. Listen to your sister, Hu Gao won't die, and you'll meet again someday!" Wang Fei pulled her brother along as they walked quickly, the crowds on either side seeming to part automatically like the wind, clearing a path for them.

  On the martial stage, several instructors from the Ordinary Hall also rushed over, and with the addition of the War Institute guards who had hurried over, Hu Gao's surroundings were packed with people.

  Yang Le looked at Yun Feng, who squeezed out of the crowd, with a suspicious face. She seemed to have never seen this person in the war hall before, and now that the situation was special, she naturally couldn't let strangers approach Hu Gao casually. "Who are you?"

  Yun Feng pulled out a large pile of wound medicine from his bosom, "I am Yun Feng of the Rain City Wu Xu Sword Pavilion, and I am a brother who got to know Hu Gao during his time in the Dragon Scales Mountain Range."

  "Miss, in my opinion, Hu Gao's injury is severe. Earlier, the Dean of Lonely Institute instructed us that it would be better to send Hu Gao back to the Hu family."

  Yang Le touched Hu Gao's beard and found that the guy was still breathing. She herself wasn't good at healing-type Yuan Decisions, so after thinking about it, she felt that this was all she could do.

  "Alright then, you're a strong cultivator of the Explosive Origin Realm, I'll leave Hu Gao to you."

  "Obeying Big Sister's orders, I'll go now." A man with a baby face and a shaved head, looking even more adorable, walked out of the crowd, picked up Hu Gao from the ground, and flew into the sky without saying another word, heading in the direction of the Hu Clan's ancestral hall.

  Yun Feng felt like he was being ignored, like air, but now wasn't the time to dwell on it. He knew the location of the Hu family's ancestral hall and without another word, prepared to jump off the martial stage and rush over.

  But then a female warrior suddenly grabbed him and asked "Where are you going?"

  Yun Feng could tell that this female warrior had rushed up at the first moment when Hu Gao was injured, and her concern for him was evident. She must be someone close to him. Who would have thought that Hu Gao's brother was so formidable? One Hu Wushuang was already as beautiful as a heavenly being, and now there was another woman with such an extreme figure, truly a blessing beyond measure.

  "Just now didn't we say we were going to send Hu Gao back to the Zong Tang? Of course, it's to follow him."

  "Alright, I'll go with you." Yang Le was a bit uneasy about the strange white-clad warrior. She had heard that many assassins liked to return to the scene of the crime after killing their target, just to confirm whether the target was dead or not. If she let him go like this, it would be a huge mistake.

  Yun Feng nodded indifferently, but being a person who didn't like to talk much, he didn't say anything else. He just walked quickly in front, his sharp eyes scanning the crowd as was usual for a swordsman, and soon found a suitable path, before long, they had already arrived at the martial arts arena.

  He didn't think that his actions would make Yang Le even more suspicious, who else besides a natural-born assassin could have such excellent escape skills?

  Thinking of this, Yang Le followed Yun Feng even more closely, afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would let him slip away.
