Chapter 145 Nine-Tailed Demon Fox

  The one who fell into Hu Gaohuai's hands was actually Hu Cai Piao, who had once assassinated him in the Dragon Jia Mountain Range.

  Yun Feng was also shocked when he saw it, he knew that the woman's realm was far above his, and with her strength, she should have been able to easily avoid his desperate sword strike just now.

  "Is it her? I thought someone else was going to assassinate you, didn't expect..."

  Hu Gao let out a mournful laugh, "It's not your fault, and besides, she was already severely injured."

  With Hu Gao's eyesight, he could naturally see that the woman in his arms was probably in a very bad situation.

  "Who is it?" He looked at Hu Cai's pale face and asked in a nearly roaring tone.

  "You can't beat him..." Hu Cai's voice was very weak, and she herself didn't expect that the first person she would look for after something happened would be Hu Gao.

  "What happened?" The person who can hurt Hu Caihong so badly is naturally not someone that the current Hu Gao can contend with, but this doesn't mean that this matter will be settled just like this.

  "There's a traitor in the family!" Hu Cai Piao's lips moved, she felt her life force was constantly draining away, and death was probably not far off. It was really unthinkable that the person she had always been loyal to would be such a person.

  "Are you referring to Second Elder?" Hu Gao immediately reacted.

  Hú Cǎi Piāo's eyes closed, originally she was going to tell Hú Gāo this news, but at the moment when she felt herself about to die, she suddenly didn't want to say it.

  "I won't let you die!" Hu Gao knew that now there was only one way to save Hu Cai Xiang, and that was to make her the enemy's blood slave.

  Only through a soul contract formed by the Blood Slave Oath can she share the healing effects of the mysterious jade pendant, and bring back to life!

  "It's... useless." Hu Cai Feng was extremely shocked in her heart, she didn't think that Hu Gao would care about her so much.

  "How would you know if you haven't tried?" Hu Gaofeng's eyebrows rose, and he roughly took over Hu Caihong's hand, biting it open and leaving a blood stain on his own forehead.

  "Recite after me! I swear, for this life of mine, I am willing to become a slave of Hu Gao, dedicating my soul, and at any time, listening to the master's dispatch. If there is a breach of contract, I will be bitten by ten thousand beasts, and never be able to reincarnate!"

  "This is the Blood Slave Oath! Hu Cai's face turned red, her eyes filled with suspicion as she looked at Hu Gao, she couldn't tell if this guy was taking advantage of her or really trying to save her?"

  Hehe, even if it's really taking advantage of someone's misfortune, what's the big deal? I didn't think that in the end, there would still be people who need me. The Blood Slave Oath is just an oath after all. When did my former master ever treat me like a human being? Probably not even as much as a chess piece.

  Seeing Hu Cai's changing expression, Hu Gao naturally understood what she was thinking. "If I really wanted to coerce you, I would have done it in the Dragon Scales Mountains, why wait until now?"

  Hu Gao's words thoroughly broke through Hu Caihong's defenses, she struggled and used all her strength to say, "I, Hu Caihong, am willing to become Hu Gao's slave for this lifetime, dedicating my soul, listening to my master's every command at any time. If I violate the agreement, I will be devoured by ten thousand beasts, never to be reincarnated!"

  As the last note fell, the blood on Hu Gao's forehead began to blur, and a slave character pattern suddenly appeared on Hu Cai's forehead, flashing by.

  In Hu Gao's Sea of Consciousness, a faint and weak soul sense suddenly appeared, like a spark that could be extinguished at any moment.

  "Don't worry, it's all right!" Hu Gao said in a low voice. He could feel his spiritual power rapidly weakening through the thread of soul connection, indicating that the jade pendant had begun to take effect.

  An indescribable sense of comfort, like being bathed in heavenly music, made Hu Cai's injuries to his Qi Hai and five internal organs rapidly recover. This was absolutely not the kind of effect that an ordinary healing-type Yuan Decree could produce.

  Seeing Hu Cai's change in expression and sensing his suspicion, Hu Gao smiled, "Don't underestimate me, the successor. Perhaps the traitor you're talking about will meet a miserable end if they encounter me!"

  "Thanks! I didn't not want to tell you, I just don't want to mention that disgusting name again." Hu Cai's throat moved slightly, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, directly splashing onto Hu Gao's chin.

  "Alright, I already know who it is, you don't need to express your gratitude towards me in this way, do you?"

  Hu Cai piao looked embarrassed, her mouth tightly closed, and she leaned into Hu Gao's arms with a coy expression, the scene was as ambiguous as it could be.

  "Cough, cough!" Yunfeng couldn't help but cough a few times beside him, "Congratulations to Hu Gao brothers for getting another helper."

  Yun Feng's words were extremely obscure, the Blood Slave Oath was a particularly vicious secret technique that was considered extreme even in the entire Totem Continent. He didn't think Hu Gao would actually do it, but he wasn't a guardian of the way either. Moreover, Hu Gao's original intention was to save people, so he didn't have any grounds to say anything.

  Hu Gao didn't notice Yun Feng earlier. Just now, he felt that his mind was shaken by something, a feeling similar to the subconscious reaction people have before an earthquake strikes.

  Suddenly, a loud explosion drew their attention to the direction they came from, which was exactly the direction of the Hu family ancestral hall!

  "Something's wrong! The ancestral hall has been compromised." Zhi Jue informed Hu Gao, it must be the Hu family's ancestral hall.

  Hu Gao glanced at Yun Feng and immediately made a decision, "You first send Cai Piao back to the inn. If I don't go find you within an hour, you take Cai Piao and leave Ning City first!"

  "No, I'll go with you!" Yun Feng said resolutely. He knew Hu Gao's personality - every time something happened, he would always push others away and face the danger alone. But this time, he refused to be a deserter.

  Hu Gao smiled wryly, "Don't worry, the Hu family's ancestral hall is full of experts, I won't have any problems. Moreover, Cai Piao is heavily injured and needs someone to take care of him. If the three of us go together, we might actually increase the danger."

  "Then why did you want me to leave Ning City?" Yun Feng didn't believe Hu Gao's nonsense.

  "Alright, so whether you leave or stay in Ning City, it's up to you. Is that okay?" Hu Gao felt the situation was serious and didn't have time to linger here with Yun Feng.

  "Alright!" Yunfeng saw Hu Gao's serious anxiety, didn't say another word, took Hu Caiyun from Hu Gao's arms and turned to leave.

  Hu Gao shook his head and didn't say another word, hurrying towards the direction of Zong Tang.

  Ningcheng suddenly fell into chaos, with people rushing to and fro on the streets, and even many ordinary families carrying their luggage and crying as they ran outside.

  "It looks like something's gone wrong!"

  Hú Gāo hastened his pace, fortunately the distance from the east city market to the Zōngtáng was not too far, but when he approached the Zōngtáng, he was completely stunned.

  What entered his line of sight was a gigantic, crimson-colored demonic beast standing in the original location of the Hu family's ancestral hall.

  This is a truly gigantic beast, those buildings that used to look tall now seem tiny like toys. The giant beast emits an aura of danger and terror all over its body, every step it takes makes the ground tremble with unease.

  What's even more terrifying is that behind this giant beast, nine huge tails, like flaming whips, slash out one after another trail of fierce flames in the air!

  Is this the nine-tailed demon fox?

  "What's going on here?!" Hu Gao was stunned, this level of demonic beast had never been recorded in the "Demonic Beast Compendium"!

  "Evil beasts deserve to be punished!"

  A loud clap of thunder boomed in the sky, and a gigantic bird suddenly appeared out of thin air. On its back sat a tiny figure that looked eerily familiar.

  "Could it be Dean?" Hu Gao's memory of Smoke Pipe Uncle's voice was still fresh.

  The earth-shaking power continuously burst out of the flying bird's mouth, and the white light balls accurately hit the nine-tailed demon fox's head. However, the result of the full-force attack was only to make the nine-tailed demon fox's head slightly sink downwards.

  This level of power can't even hurt the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit in the slightest!

  The nine-tailed demon fox seemed to be enraged by this affront, and with a sudden flick of its massive tail, the flying bird was sent flying out like a broken sack without any resistance!

  Hu Gao was taken aback.

  As the giant beast raged, all the surrounding buildings were destroyed, a loud rumbling sound echoed, and large amounts of dust and debris filled the air, with broken walls and rubble everywhere!

  Only after Hu Gao walked in did he discover that around the Nine-Tailed Fox's surroundings, there were actually many warriors standing, and on the ground outside the circle, dozens of bodies lay either wailing or dying or dead. Missing arms and legs could only be considered light injuries for them. Several bodies had already been burned by the Nine-Tailed Fox's flames to the point of being unrecognizable as human.

  Most of them were Hu family's guards. It seemed that the strong ones in the Hu family had suffered heavy losses in the first wave of attack by the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

  However, Hu Gao did not find any of the elders of the Hu family presiding over the scene, nor did he know whether they had been defeated or had not arrived in time.

  Hu Gao would not go and fight the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox to the death, Yang Tian, a strong man in the Explosive Yuan Boundary, was blown away by the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox with just one move. With his current strength, going to play with his life against the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is no different from seeking death.

  "Yang Le?" A familiar figure in the crowd caught Hu Gao's attention, and he didn't expect that Yang Le, who had just passed through the spiritual realm, was also among the many instructors of the war academies, launching an attack on the massive creature in front of him through various combinations of Yuan Decisions.

  Innumerable Fire, Ice, Thunder and Wind-type powerful Yuan Decisions, like a stormy rain, poured down on the Nine-tailed Demon Fox's body. Although small, as long as it was aimed at the weak points, it could still make people uncomfortable.

  The nine-tailed demon fox's hideous head swung back and forth, its mouth letting out a massive roar, suddenly spewing out a huge fireball that smashed directly into the warrior's most concentrated area.

  Just as everyone was in a state of panic, a section of earth wall suddenly rose into the air and formed a semi-circular rain shield, blocking the attack of the fireball.

  "Earth-type ultimate move, absolute defense!"

  It's the dean's voice!
