Chapter 254 Zhu Family Elder: Huo Yuhao Must Die
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the Zhu family elder's eyes instantly became sharp and alert.
A series of questions and speculations welled up in his mind.
Could it be that Huo Yuhao is hiding some unknown trump card?
He pondered that Huo Yuhao was not only a member of the Spirit Hall, but also had close ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, becoming the son-in-law of that powerful sect.
Does this identity mean that a powerful figure at the Title Douluo level is secretly protecting him?
If there really is a Title Douluo-level powerhouse protecting Huo Yuhao, then their meticulously planned assassination attempt will likely end in failure.
Thinking of this, Xingluo Gongfeng felt a sense of unease. He immediately decided to personally investigate the surroundings to ensure there were no potential threats.
He spread his mental energy outwards like invisible tentacles, trying to capture the aura of any powerful being who might be present.
However, after a careful search, he found no trace of any powerful figure in the surrounding environment.
The only sounds in the air were the scent of nature and the faint whisper of the wind from afar.
Huo Yuhao seemed to have already seen through Xingluo Elder's worries. He smiled slightly, a smile carrying a hint of confidence and composure, and calmly said to Xingluo Elder, "Don't bother looking. There's no one else around. It's just me alone, and you can't handle that."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xingluo Elder remained vigilant, but couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as there are no other Title Douluo-level powerhouses present, he believes he is capable of dealing with this young man.
However, he did not let his guard down because of this. On the contrary, he observed Huo Yuhao's every move even more carefully, preparing to deal with any possible changes at any time.
As for what Huo Yuhao said, Xingluo Gongfeng simply regarded it as the youthful arrogance of a young man.
A genius soul master like Huo Yuhao will more or less be a little arrogant, always thinking that he is the best in the world.
In the eyes of Zhu Jia, this mentality is completely due to a lack of experience with the harsh realities of society; they just want to be punished someday.
They recalled that when they were young, they were also considered geniuses among the younger generation, just like Huo Yuhao.
At that time, I naturally had the idea that I was the best in the world. After all, which of the people who could become titled Douluo were unknown?
However, as time went by, the Zhu family's attitude towards the offerings gradually changed.
They began to realize that their arrogance and conceit were simply because they had never seen a wider world.
They once thought they had reached the pinnacle of the world, but with continuous exploration and experience, they gradually realized their own insignificance.
They began to understand that there were higher mountains waiting for them to climb and wider skies waiting for them to fly in.
In the eyes of the Zhu family's retainers, Huo Yuhao was completely unaware of the vastness of the world, so he only felt the heat of the sun.
"Hahaha, Huo Yuhao, I really don't know whether to call you arrogant or incredibly courageous. But enough of this banter. Next, I'll show you what a Title Douluo really is."
The laughter of the Zhu family retainer carried a hint of disdain and coldness. He looked at the young Huo Yuhao in front of him with contempt in his heart.
He had seen countless geniuses, but someone as arrogant and ignorant as Huo Yuhao was truly rare. The Zhu family elder was too lazy to waste words with Huo Yuhao; he now had only one thought: to show this arrogant brat his true power.
He wanted Huo Yuhao to die in utter despair.
A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Zhu family retainer. He wanted to make this young man understand that in the face of true power, all confidence and courage are futile. He wanted Huo Yuhao to feel the fear of helplessness and the despair of being suppressed by absolute power before his death.
"You three, stop Flander and Zhao Wuji. I'll handle Huo Yuhao," the Zhu family elder said coldly, issuing his order.
His three subordinates immediately sprang into action. They knew the temperament of the Zhu family's retainer; once he got serious, he would show no mercy.
Originally, Zhu Jiashang still harbored a sliver of mercy and intended to let Flander and Zhao Wuji go, since they were not his real targets.
However, when they revealed Huo Yuhao's background, a resolute look flashed across the face of the Zhu family's retainer. He knew he could not leave any potential threat behind.
After all, the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are both renowned forces on the continent, and he certainly wouldn't dare to provoke them easily.
However, now that they had forged a deep enmity with Huo Yuhao, it was impossible to let him off easily. A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Zhu family retainer; he was determined to eliminate this hidden danger completely.
Huo Yuhao's talent is simply too extraordinary. If he doesn't die, he will definitely become a major threat to the Zhu family in the future.
Zhu Jiashen knew all too well how much of a threat a young man with such talent would pose if allowed to grow up.
He couldn't allow that to happen; he wanted to nip this young man in the bud before he could truly become strong.
He planned to kill Flander, Huo Yuhao, and Zhao Wuji, then immediately destroy the evidence. That way, no one could find any fault with him. Oh, and while he was at it, he'd also kill Yu Xiaogang. As for why he wanted to kill Yu Xiaogang, there was no other reason; he simply didn't like Yu Xiaogang. What was this guy pretending for all day?
Upon seeing the three high-level Soul Saints surrounding him, Flander's expression changed drastically, and he immediately flew up to fight them.
Fortunately, none of the three could fly, so Flander gained the advantage in the air. For a time, with the cooperation of Zhao Wuji, they were actually able to steadily suppress the three high-level Soul Saints.
However, although Flander suppressed the three Soul Saints, there was no joy on his face, because he knew that the real battlefield was never here, but with Huo Yuhao.
Now, Flander can only pray that Huo Yuhao really has other trump cards up his sleeve; otherwise, he is truly powerless.
He knew that although Huo Yuhao was exceptionally talented, he was still young, and the difference in strength between him and a Title Douluo like the Zhu family's retainer was enormous. Flander was extremely anxious; he had to find a way as soon as possible, or at least buy time and wait for possible assistance.
However, at that moment, something incredible happened to Flander.
The moment he turned his head, the Zhu family's retainer was sent flying backward, crashing straight onto the ridge beside him.
Almost everyone present was stunned by what they saw.
