Chapter 206
Jaeger Hu opened his eyes. As soon as he saw the man, a look of joy appeared on his desperate face. He quickly shouted, "Uncle! You're here! Save me! Lunatic Chen killed Yoshua and he's going to kill me next!"
The people who arrived to his aid were Shawn Hu, the master of the Hu family and his personal guard.
Shawn Hu, who was dressed in a long white robe, looked down at Fade Chen in contempt and spoke, "Lunatic Chen, that's enough. It's time to end this!"
"Really?" Fade turned to look at them with a mysterious sneer as he shook his head slowly and said, "I don't think so."
As soon as he finished speaking, energy sparked from Fade's fingertips and headed straight for Jaeger's forehead. The smile on Jaeger's face was still plastered dumbly due to a sliver of hope of survival when he felt a stream of blood from his nose. In just seconds, his breathing dimmed and he stopped breathing entirely.
Finally, he fell to the ground motionless.
Seeing this, Shawn flew into a rage. Waving
his long sleeves, he shouted, "Crazy fool, how dare you kill a Hu family member?"
As he spoke, his robe fluttered around madly as he raised his right arm in fury, the air around them crackling wildly from the pressure and energy.
"Go to hell!" He threw a heavy punch at Fade and released whatever power he had as a peak- Yellow level martial artist. The energy grew like a looming wave and headed straight towards Fade.
Seeing this, Fade raised an eyebrow and casually blocked Shawn's punch with his right palm.
"Boom!"
A loud sound could be heard as the two opposing forces met.
Shawn who was still deep in rage instantly widened his eyes as his expression changed. He could feel a surge of energy rising from Fade's palm to his that was unbearable. The pressure from the blow broke his arm, and with a loud crack the bones in his arm were completely shattered.
"Ah!" He let out a scream of pain and leapt back, cradling his broken arm. His face contorted with a mixture of pain and shock.
Seeing this, the hunchbacked elder beside Shawn quickly supported him, before looking up at Fade and commenting coldly. "Young man, you're pretty strong."
After a pause, he continued steely, "But you shouldn't have attacked the Hu family. Now, I'll give you a chance. Retreat and your life will be spared."
"Spare my life?" Fade snickered. "I think that's what I should be saying."
The hunchbacked elder immediately shouted, "Arrogance makes one ignorant, foolish boy. Do you really think that with your skills, you're invincible? A true martial arts master has skills far beyond your imagination."
"True martial arts master?" Fade shook his head and taunted. "It's ridiculous to hear these words from you."
"You... die!" The hunchbacked elder was furious. With a grunt, he launched himself like an arrow straight towards Fade. His bony arms moved and reached towards Fade's neck as though he wanted to tear it apart.
His speed was clearly a few times faster than that of Shawn. Fade couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he commented, "A Black Level martial artist, I see."
"Not bad, kid." The hunchbacked elder guffawed and continued reaching towards Fade's neck, "But now, it's too late to beg for mercy."
"Who said I'm trying to!" Fade snorted coldly. With a wave of his right hand, a bright ball of energy lit up the sky as the air crackled noisily. As though wielding a knife, he threw it towards the hunchbacked elder.
Upon seeing Fade's move, the man's expression turned grave. In a split second, he had his arms crossed in front of his chest as a move to block the attack.
"Boom! Bang!"
The hunchbacked elder met with the ball of energy in the air and was surprisingly pushed back by some distance before managing to compose himself. He was completely taken aback as he said to Fade, "No wonder you're so arrogant, you're a Black Level martial artist as well."
He continued solemnly in a cold tone, "No matter though, even if you're a Black Level martial artist, you'll still have to die here."
"Is that so?" Fade's expression was calm as he approached the hunchbacked elder.
The elder's strength was indeed formidable. With skills at the mid- Black Level, he was definitely stronger than Shancus Wan. However, that was all. To Fade, there was not much difference.
The elder had no knowledge of Fade's background or skills and could only stare grudgingly at him. All of a sudden, he released a blast of energy that engulfed his whole body and the tired look in his eyes gradually cleared up. Slowly, he straightened up his body and stood tall and proud, a contrast to the frail, hunchbacked look that he had a moment ago.
The originally large robe on him was suddenly expanding in size as waves of energy were released from his body.
Initially, he looked like he was in his seventies or eighties. Now, he looked much younger as though he was in his twenties.
His whole person exuded an unnerving sense of power that engulfed the whole house. The average onlookers with no knowledge on martial arts gasped for breath from the sheer pressure. They were dumbfounded as they watched the whole facade right in front of their eyes.
Even Shawn Hu was shocked by his sudden change. He looked at the tall elder in disbelief and exclaimed, "Brother Zhan, you..."
He looked straight into Shawn's eyes and said, "Brother Hu, you saved my life back then, so I've been indebted to you ever since. These years, I've helped you with many things and stood by you. But today, I'm going to have my last stand, Brother Hu. It's my way of thanking you for your protection."
After hearing the elder's words, Shawn knew that the elder had intentions to leave. He wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't, since there was no way that a person with such skills could bear serving beside him.
His pleads to stay eventually turned to a mere question as he asked, "Brother Zhan, at this last moment, can you tell me your name?"
The elder paused as a thought flashed across his mind and his eyes looked far as though he was reminiscing something in the past. After a while, he mumbled, "My name is...Feather Gu."
"Feather Gu!" Shawn was shocked upon hearing this name. He looked at the elder in surprise and said, "Brother Zhan, you're..."Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
The elder nodded and announced, "Yes, I am ... Feather Gu ... of the Cloud Clan."
Shawn was taken aback upon hearing his name as he muttered, "Twenty years ago, the Cloud Clan had a major change in power as Feather Gu killed both his master and his peers and escaped. The Cloud Clan chased after him for several months, but returned empty-handed. Since then, he was nowhere to be found..."
Some rich kids who were clueless about martial arts couldn't help but ask, "What were these 'Feather Gu' and 'Cloud Clan' that Master Hu has mentioned?"
