Chapter 17

Hu Gao, although focused on evolving and trying to master the [Gui Yuan Yi Qi Liu], was not completely unaware of the outside world. He had once heard the Chief Elder of Judgment mention Bai Xiao before his death. He never thought that he would still end up in a situation where he was targeted, even when he was just lying down.

Fortunately, there was the Chief Elder of Transmission, or his life would not have been safe. However, to think that Bai Xiao was so beautiful! Hu Gao couldn't help but grumble to himself. He needed to hurry up with his cultivation, or he would really become a pitiful person that everyone could bully.

Chief Elder Hu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, his face not friendly. He directly summoned the totem to fight, fearing that the battle would affect Hu Gao. He only hoped to resolve the conflict quickly!

Hu Feng's body suddenly rose into the air, swiftly pouncing toward Bai Xiao. This was his greatest advantage as a Burst Essence Realm expert, the ability to fly.

Bai Xiao's eyes were bloodshot, emitting a scorching light. The sword at his waist was already unsheathed. He practiced the Hu family's most powerful technique, the [Ten Thousand Sword Gale Technique], which was known for its ability to sweep a thousand miles with ten thousand swords. A surging essence energy burst from the tip of his sword, combining with the power of the totem, and he charged forward without hesitation.

Facing difficulties head-on and sweeping everything away was Bai Xiao's sword path. He had just reached the peak of the Body Pass Realm, yet he showed no signs of discomfort. His figure was as swift as a white crane, and his sword technique was overwhelmingly powerful.

Hu Feng also knew the power of Bai Xiao's sword technique. He did not want to prolong the conflict and directly unleashed his strongest attack. The blood-red fox on his head opened its massive mouth, its fangs gleaming, and its large tail swung up and down, biting down on Bai Xiao.

The totem was the greatest trump card of a martial artist. If the totem was injured, the master would also be severely injured. Hu Feng was determined to fight Bai Xiao to the death!

With a "boom," dust rose on the training ground of the martial hall.

A moment later, Hu Feng stood proudly, the blood-red fox already retracted into his body. However, upon closer inspection, his clothes were tattered, and there were traces of blood on his beard, indicating that he was not as relaxed as he appeared.

As for Bai Xiao, half of his body was buried in the ground, his eyes tightly closed, a trail of blood flowing from the corner of his eye, crossing his face. It seemed that he had suffered a direct attack from the totem of a Burst Essence Realm expert, leaving him severely injured.

Hu Gao had already stopped the secret technique and stood up, looking at the battered Bai Xiao. This guy was really unreasonable. Even in such a state, he was still so attractive. In China, he would definitely be a millennium-old disaster that could charm people to death!

Although the level of the fight between these two was not as terrifying as the battle between the Chief Elder of Judgment and the Lang Clan's second-year youth, Lang Sheng, it still made Hu Gao's heart race. He realized that for someone like him, who had fought as many times as a woman's climaxes in his life, the willpower required by martial artists was what he lacked the most.

In his previous life, education emphasized being kind to others, while in this world, the principle was that the one with the strongest fist was the best.

Although Bai Xiao kept threatening to do something to Hu Gao, Hu Gao, upon self-reflection, had no intention of doing anything to Bai Xiao. Perhaps this was what he truly needed to change!

"Bai Ding He!"

Just when everyone thought Bai Xiao was too weak to continue, this tenacious guy loudly summoned his totem, the [Bai Ding He].

Bai Xiao opened his bloodshot eyes, and the blue essence energy symbolizing a fifth-stage totem began to surge in his body. A moment later, a long sword broke through the ground, and a violent explosion occurred around Bai Xiao, sending dust flying. In a flash, he suddenly charged toward Hu Gao with his sword!

Hu Feng's heart tightened, and he mustered his strength, leaping up to try to stop the berserk Bai Xiao. However, the special effect of the Bai Ding He totem on movement allowed Bai Xiao's speed to double. Moreover, after being injured, his realm seemed to have subtly broken through to the Burst Essence Realm, allowing him to fly, which was truly incredible!

Seeing the handsome man charging toward him, Hu Gao was stunned. In a panic, he instinctively summoned the Bloodlight Snake totem from within his body, urging it to charge forward, hoping to block Bai Xiao's earth-shattering, fatal strike!

"Truly a waste, even your totem is the lowest first stage. For the revival of the family, you should die early!" Bai Xiao said coldly. At his current speed, Hu Feng could not catch up, and this attack was certain to succeed!

However, just as he was about to hit Hu Gao, his heart suddenly tightened. The Bai Ding He totem actually transmitted a sense of fear. Damn it, the tiny Red Diamond Snake totem could make his fifth-stage totem feel fear? Could it be that Hu Gao really had the great spiritual power of the Guardian God within him?

No one expected that this moment of hesitation slightly weakened Bai Xiao's sword strike, allowing Hu Gao to narrowly escape with his life!

When the Bloodlight Snake totem collided with the blue essence energy, it actually managed to offset a significant portion. Most importantly, the Bai Ding He, which had accompanied the sword, was directly sent flying.

However, the Bloodlight Snake totem immediately disappeared, and Bai Xiao's sword struck Hu Gao. The essence energy exploded, spreading from a single point, causing Hu Gao's body to crack like leopard spots. If not for the green light emitted by the jade pendant on his collarbone, his entire body would have exploded!

Chief Elder Hu Feng, who had just arrived, immediately used the [Fire Cloud Palm] to strike Bai Xiao's back. Bai Xiao had not thought of resisting this attack. Knowing that he had offended the Chief Elder of Transmission and killed a successor, he was certain to die, so he decided to die here!

However, as he was about to die, he kept wondering why his Bai Ding He totem had been sent flying. Why hadn't Hu Gao exploded after being hit by his full-strength sword strike? Had he really done something wrong?

"Lord Bai Xiao!"

"Hu Gao!"

The training ground of the martial hall was in chaos! The ancestral hall had never been so lively. Other elders who heard about the incident also rushed over. At this critical moment for the Hu family, such a major internal conflict occurred, and even the High Priest was furious, directly sending someone to summon the Chief Elder of the Netherworld, Bai Tengfei.

The Elder Council sent people to clean up the mess, sending Hu Gao and Bai Xiao to the medical team managed by the Internal Affairs Elder for treatment. They also convened an emergency meeting to discuss Bai Xiao's violation of clan rules and his act of insubordination.

The meeting was one-sided. Under the dual wrath of the High Priest and the Clan Leader, the Elder Council unanimously agreed to exile the Chief Elder of the Netherworld to the ancestral land in Bai Mu City for seclusion and reflection. The Bai branch would be temporarily managed by the Second Elder, Hu Wuming, who shared the same bloodline.

After this battle, the Hu family, already in a precarious state, was even deeper in trouble. At this moment, Hu Gao had completely lost consciousness and was unaware of his surroundings.
