Chapter 477: Like Mountain

“He’s just a kid! I’m the one you should come after!”

Gao Shou shouted and pushed his splayed right hand forward. The translucent golden barrier turned into a golden wall, suddenly pushing Madam Wu a few meters away before scattering into crystal-like golden energy particles.

Gao Yang looked at what was happening in disbelief, tears brimming his eyes instantly.

At that moment, not even the threat to his life could stop the tremendous joy rising in his chest.

Fuck, my dad’s an awakener!

“Don’t be scared, Son. Your dad’s gonna protect you!”

Gao Shou clenched his teeth and slowly straightened his kneeling legs. The man who had been bound to a wheelchair, stripped of his mobility, finally stood on his two feet again.

At that moment, his father seemed taller and greater than ever before to Gao Yang, like he had been when Gao Yang was little.

Back then, his father would take him and his sister to the park on Children’s Day.

Gao Yang would ride on his father’s shoulder and beamed happily with a pinwheel, while Gao Xinxin was fast asleep in his father’s arms after exhausting herself playing.

His father was so great then; he was incredibly strong and walked so fast it seemed like he was flying. Like Superman, he was never exhausted.

Gao Shou hurried to shield Gao Yang and Qing Ling with his body, his back as wide as a mountain, heavy and secure.

Madam Wu couldn’t believe what was happening.

So the piece of trash is a human, and he awakened at that last second?

Even so, he should have been infected with Blood Amber’s Patient. How could he still exert this much strength?

While Madam Wu couldn’t quite wrap her mind around it, Gao Yang, with his personal knowledge of the high-ranking Talents, immediately figured it out.

His father had acquired Absolute Defense, serial number 9!

Even at level 1, the top Guard-type Talent granted significant bonuses in Constitution and Endurance, and judging by how his father had behaved, his Talent must have reached level 2 immediately, or even level 3.

That was the kind of cheat high-ranking Talents were. Huai Wei, for example, had reached level 3 after a few uses of her Talent, and she broke through to level 4 as soon as she touched the Time-Space Rune Circuit.

His father could now resist Patient as well as Madam Wu, if not better.

“Blood Amber!” Madam Wu called out.

Gao Shou threw up blood and collapsed to the ground before he could finish.

Shit!

Gao Yang knew it was his father’s resistance to the virus reaching a breaking point. He looked up to see the golden barrier protecting them dissolving.

Madam Wu barked out a laugh and shouted in excitement, “Let me see what else you’ve got!”

Blood Amber could sense the barrier breaking down as well. She lifted her visor again and quickened her breathing.

After a few seconds, once the golden barrier was completely gone, Madam Wu dashed toward Gao Shou, swinging her sharp bladed hand to decapitate him.

“Hah!” At the last moment, Gao Yang shouted and exhausted the last of his energy to teleport before his father.

“Son!” Gao Shou screamed, but it was already too late to push Gao Yang away.

Then a phantom-like figure rushed past Gao Shou and Gao Yang like a gust of wind.

Madam Wu was taken aback by the figure appearing suddenly from behind Gao Yang’s back. When she managed to react belatedly, a fierce slash was already coming for her forehead.

On pure reflex, she crossed her arms to shield her face.

Clang!

The Green Dog Demon Blade thrust toward Madam Wu’s arm like a spear. Since both were made with Black Gold, the blade naturally failed to pierce through her arm, but the terrifying power behind the thrust wasn’t offset.

Clang!

Madam Wu’s crossed arms were propelled back and ended up hitting her face, inflicting her brain with a heavy blow. She flew off her feet with a whoosh, slamming into a pine tree and breaking the trunk. The tree, standing more than ten meters tall, toppled to the side.

Madam Wu collapsed to the ground, unable to stand up. Although she didn’t look injured, her head had been shaken by a heavy impact. It felt as if her brain had been blended into a thick pulp.

What formidable explosive power!

Madam Wu didn’t know that the man was War Tiger with level 6 Killing Expert, but she knew she wasn’t his match.

While the man’s weapon couldn’t injure her, the power he exerted with his weapon was impossible to defend against. Another hit, and her brain would truly become mush.

Standing before Gao Yang, War Tiger had a hand in his pocket while resting his narrow blade on his shoulder.

He turned around leisurely with a toothpick in his mouth, flashing Gao Yang a teasing grin.

“Oh, isn’t it Elder Seven Shadow? It’s only been a few days. How did you become such a loser already?”
