Chapter 146: The Situation Reverses

  The warriors who were rescued by the dean's timely decision suddenly let out a burst of joyful cheers.

  Hu Gao did not expect that at this critical moment, the one who came to help the Hu family would be the highest power in the War Academy.

  Just as he was hesitating about whether to go forward and make some effort as the successor of the Hu family, he suddenly found that several familiar figures had flashed by not far away.

  Especially one of them, with that head of eye-catching white hair, seemed to be the Second Elder who had always been targeting him.

  "The nine-tailed demon fox is still wreaking havoc, while the two elders are watching from a distance, there's something fishy going on." Hu Gao thought for a moment, then plucked up his courage and carefully followed them.

  Although it was night, the fierce battle between the two sides illuminated the entire sky with flames, making it not difficult to keep up with each other. After seven twists and turns, they arrived at a deep alley, which was no longer within the range of the Hu family's ancestral hall, but closer to where the Wei and Guo families gathered.

  At this point, Hu Gao's vigilance increased again, and without Xiao Wu, he didn't have any lifesaving skills.

  The figures in the alley were vague, and the voices were still loud, but after the Second Elder arrived, they suddenly became quiet.

  "Unexpectedly, it's really the Second Elder!" Hu Gao poked his head out and saw that the Second Elder's aged body was shaking violently due to excitement and anger, his right index finger trembling as he pointed at the tip of the nose of the person in front of him, loudly rebuking.

  "You... your four families actually colluded with the Lang family of Yue City! Together, you harmed my Hu family! If the Hu family falls, do you think the Qingyuan mine vein can still be guarded? Do you think Ning City can still be guarded?"

  Four big families join hands? Good guy, didn't expect the first sentence of the Second Elder to have such a large amount of information. Originally, he thought that the four big families in Ning City had no sense of existence anymore, but unexpectedly today's demon beast disaster was caused by them, Hu Gao muttered to himself.

  "Haha! Old Hu, you don't have to worry about this anymore. Did you think I was sincere when I agreed to collaborate with you on the assassination of Hu Gao? You underestimate the appetite of the Guo family too much. A mere Hu Gao is nothing in our eyes, what we want to eradicate is your entire Hu family!" A short, bald-headed man suddenly burst into laughter, and from his tone, it seemed he was a high-ranking member of the Guo family.

  "Insolent child! You are not worthy of our consideration!" The two elderly men's faces changed color, and they said indignantly.

  "Haha, the Lang family said they had a way to summon the nine-tailed demon fox, and at first we didn't believe it. But unexpectedly, it actually succeeded! Oh, right, this success also couldn't have been done without your help, old man Hu. If you hadn't sent away the guards, our people wouldn't have been able to enter the Hu residence so easily. Thanks a lot!" The bald-headed man continued to say.

  The two elders are indeed traitors! No wonder Hu Caihong was seriously injured today, it seems that she accidentally discovered the two elders' plot, so she was beaten.

  "Ah!" The Second Elder was stimulated by this person's words, his anger suddenly surged to his heart, and a mouthful of old blood sprayed out, his face as white as gold paper.

  "This old guy is useless, he can't even handle a little stimulation. He's no longer of any use, might as well just kill him." Another voice suddenly said.

  "Haha, Wei Dong, you're too impatient. Are our four families the kind of people who burn bridges after crossing them? Second elder, rest assured, you won't be left out of the benefits! The position of Li family's guest elder has been reserved for you behind the scenes by our Guo family. However, whether you'll survive in that position depends on your performance." The bald man's smile looked truly detestable.

  "Hmph, you wish! Hu Wushuang is the young master of our Hu family, and that useless thing from the Guo family dares to be his match?" The Second Elder spat on the ground, saying disdainfully.

  I didn't expect this old guy still has some last bit of conscience!

  Hú Gāo heard this, and roughly understood what was going on. However, he felt an inexplicable anger towards Hú Wú Shuāng being implicated in the transaction. He couldn't believe that the Guō family's people had eaten bear hearts and leopard gallbladders, yet still had designs on Hú Wú Shuāng.

  "Guo Siwen! You said Wei Dongji was urgent, but you're revealing your fox tail a bit too quickly. Alright, you few stop showing off and hurry up, if we wait until the Hu family catches their breath, it'll be us who end up dead." A calm voice said.

  "Wu Yulu, you dead demon, do you really think that just with these few small fries, you can deal with me?" The Second Elder's face changed, and under the cover of night, it looked extremely terrifying, especially with two huge fangs suddenly growing at the corner of his mouth, like a vampire, very intimidating.

  "Hurry up and use 'Sealing Pulse Arrow'!" The person who looked quite seductive, Wu Yulu, hastily raised his right hand and gave the order.

  "Haha, it's really funny, how could this thing possibly hurt me?" The Second Elder stuck out his tongue and licked the bloodstains on his lips, then waved his hands up and down, instantly forming a huge water sphere around him that enveloped him inside.

  "Whooshing" sounds, several people reacted extremely quickly, hearing the command and immediately shooting out the Sealing Arrows that had been handed to them earlier!

  The arrows shot from all directions were all stuck on the water bubbles made by the Second Elder, and just as they were about to pierce through, a cluster of foam suddenly squeezed out from the surface of the water bubbles, wrapping them up, and directly dissolving the sharp arrowheads without leaving any trace.

  The last arrow of the final seal fell to the ground, leaving only the outermost arrow shaft.

  "Let them all die!" The Second Elder's face turned red with rage, his eyebrows standing on end, his hands moving swiftly, "Water Drop Rain Arrow!"

  "This is a county-level secret method! Everyone scatter and escape!" Wu Yulu, who was also skilled in water-based yuan jue, shouted loudly as soon as he heard the second elder's loud shout.

  "Haha, too late!" The Second Elder was like a madman possessed by evil spirits at this moment. His hands were spread apart, the water ball shattered, and countless water droplets scattered in all directions. Each water droplet was like a deadly bullet, shooting towards every person in the alley.

  "Ah!"

  All sorts of miserable cries rang out, and in just an instant, all the martial artists below the Explosive Yuan Boundary in the alley exploded, flesh and blood flying everywhere, the scene extremely bloody and terrifying.

  Hú Gāo's pupils suddenly dilated, as he discovered a water droplet flying towards him! But he couldn't react in any way, his whole body was like being under a spell, under the threat of death, he could only stare blankly at the water droplet flying towards him at an extremely fast speed.

  Just as the water droplet was about to fall into Hu Gao's eyes, it suddenly stopped without warning, and after a full three seconds, it turned into an ordinary drop of water that slowly fell onto Hu Gao's foot.

  "What a close call!" Hu Gao touched his own chest, the previous moment had caused his heart to beat rapidly, his blood vessels were surging, and his face felt like it was on fire.

  Is this the power of a Yuan Boundary strong expert? Not even half a bit of resistance! Hu Gao's feeling this time was more profound than when he witnessed the battle between the Great Elder and the genius youngster from the Lang Clan, after all at that time he was just an ignorant person who didn't understand anything.

  "You nameless old scoundrel! You won't die a good death!" Wu Yulu shouted loudly, his hair was full of water and scattered on his shoulders, compared to the elegant appearance just now, he looked like a completely different person.

  "If it were the four family heads who came this time, there would still be a glimmer of hope. But with you few good-for-nothings, how dare you plot against me?" The Second Elder took step after step forward, and the situation instantly reversed. Just now he seemed to be the prey, but now he had become the hunter.

  "Hu Nameless! I didn't expect you to actually advance to the late stage of Explosive Yuan Realm. Is it possible that the so-called strongest Fifth Elder of the Hu family was just a smokescreen?" The bald man wasn't dead, but earlier he had exhausted his yuan energy in order to defend against Second Elder's secret technique, and now he was as weak as a sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

  "No wonder you failed to compete for the position of family head in the first place! You're so naive as to believe what an enemy says, and now you're beyond salvation." The Second Elder's right hand lifted lightly, and a white object like a feather shot out from his sleeve and lodged itself in the bald man's throat.

  The Zhu family representative who had been silent all along suddenly lit up his eyes and said, "Everyone, I'll take care of this guy. Don't hold back later."

  "Zhu, you're really going all out! Even the master of the Zhu family has come out to deal with an old man like me. I wonder if the masters of the other three families were to find you dead here, whether the Zhu family, which is known as the strongest of the four major families, would instantly collapse?" The Second Elder smiled.

  Zhu You Tian was shocked by the Second Elder's words, and he hadn't expected that their previous cooperation had been too smooth, causing them to completely underestimate the Hu family's seemingly unremarkable Second Elder. The latter's words had struck a chord in his heart, but as someone who had just entered the Explosive Yuan Boundary Middle Stage, he didn't have any confidence in dealing with the Second Elder. If he really died here, it would be a disaster.

  Wu Yulu saw Zhu You Tian's face in the darkness and also felt a chill, if it wasn't for the second elder reminding them, they really wouldn't have noticed that the master of the Zhu family was actually mixed in with the crowd. What was his purpose?

  "Trash is still trash, and being together for the sake of profit will only lead to your demise. The four great families? You really think you can stand firm in Ning City just because of who you are?" The Second Elder continued walking forward, his body emitting a powerful aura that made Hu Gao feel palpitations from afar!

  Zhu You Tian gazed at the remaining few people from the four major families, and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. Here, his strength was the greatest, but Second Elder's one sentence had already shattered everyone's defenses. Not only could he not go all out against Second Elder, but he also had to guard against the other few people who might make a move against him.

  For him, perhaps the best opportunity now is to run away quickly!

  "Don't bother trying to escape, you can't." The Second Elder seemed like a devil, as if he had seen through Zhu You Tian's thoughts.

  "Enough!" Zhu You Tian's face turned liver-colored, "At this point in time, what are you all hesitating about? If we don't make a move now, none of us will survive!"

  "The heavens have collapsed and the earth has cracked! Open it for me!"

  Behind Zhu You Tian, a gigantic totem resembling a lion emerged, as if the heavenly god had descended. He lifted his front hoof and forcefully stomped it onto the ground!
