Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 53 - 040, Shameless and Venomous Hou Yuxiao [Please follow this serial!]

Hou Yuxiao's denial caused Tian Linong's face to stiffen, and even Tong Hu, who was fighting against Peony, turned his head to look at Hou Yuxiao inside the barrier, his eyes twitching.

This little beast had turned on them!

At this moment, Hou Yuxiao showed no signs of panic on his face. The Holy Maiden, with her almost demonic insight, had long seen through everything. Now that Tian Linong had exposed his allegiance to the Righteous Path, thinking it would threaten him, it was actually superfluous.

As long as he held Zhaoyang City, the Holy Maiden would not blame him. What use was Tian Linong's revelation now?

Moreover, Hou Yuxiao glanced at the ruins of the district and a cold smirk flashed across his face. The tragic state of Zhaoyang City, if claimed to be his doing, he would firmly disagree!

In September, his visit to Tianling County was twofold; firstly, it was imminent breakthrough time, for purchasing the Yuan Gang Beads; secondly, he had sensed a large gathering of Righteous Path followers in Tianling County, and members of the Mountain Sword Sect had begun to stir, so he deliberately went to scout the situation.

The Righteous Path was already planning to strike at Zhaoyang County. Whether he was involved or not, it would not have changed their plans. What Hou Yuxiao did tonight merely took advantage of the Righteous Path's attack to exact revenge on the Green Wolf Gang, the Flying Eagle Sect, and Ren Feng.

"Sect Master Tian, if just the three of you retreat, I will return not only these over two hundred Mountain Sword Sect members but also these three Gang Qi Realm Elders. How about that?"

Hou Yuxiao stared at Tian Linong and the other two with a sincere expression, but his eyes revealed a mocking glint. He knew that these three were merely pawns, and the decision to attack or withdraw from Zhaoyang didn't rest with them.

On the surface, tonight's attack on Zhaoyang appeared to be a minor incident, a third-rate power, the Mountain Sword Sect, attacking. However, this was a conflict occurring between Yong and Xu States, with both sides merely showing restraint thus far.

At this point, letting them leave without consequences was clearly unrealistic.

Hou Yuxiao deliberately said this to disgust Tian Linong and various onlookers before killing the sect members, sowing discord between him and his backers.

True to expectations, upon hearing these words, Tian Linong didn't even stop to think before he angrily shouted, "With you, the head of an insignificant clan, also daring to suggest we retreat? Delusional!"

Bang...

Bang...Bang......Bang...

As soon as Tian Linong finished speaking, sounds of sticks smashing skulls successively came from within the barrier, prompting him to look sharply, his eyes nearly bursting with rage.

Hou Yuxiao, holding a long staff, was smashing it down like splitting watermelons, having killed six Mountain Sword Sect members in succession.

He seemed not to be satisfied, and with a glance at the Hou Clan members, instructed them to lay down the Mountain Sword Sect members. With a fierce sweep, he then killed another fifteen, including one Elite Swordsman at the Ninth Level of body-opening.

This alone resulted in nearly twenty deaths, accounting for almost one-tenth of the total captives.

On the ground, twenty dismembered bodies lay aside, with a mixture of yellow and white substances spilling around their necks, causing the remaining controlled Mountain Sword Sect members to shudder all at once, and many who had just been cursing now stared at Hou Yuxiao with terror instantly filling their pupils.

Some, faint-hearted, had already started to tremble.

Hou Yuxiao's ruthlessness instantly intimidated everyone.

"Sect Master Tian, next time you speak, you had better consider your words carefully.

Mr. Hou is indeed just the head of a minor clan.

But these two hundred… oh no, one hundred ninety-four Mountain Sword Sect members' lives are now in Mr. Hou's hands!"

Dressed in green, Hou Yuxiao slowly turned while holding the long staff, his tone decidedly somber. His handsome and youthful face, under the moonlight, also appeared ominously sinister.

It wasn't only Tian Linong who felt this way, but even Hou Yucheng, standing next to Hou Yuxiao, along with the other Hou Clan members, couldn't help but feel a chilling sense rise within them.

"Fourth Elder, when did Big Brother become so ruthless?" Hou Yucheng, with a hint of shock in his eyes, quietly asked the nearby Hou Yujie.

Although Hou Yujie was clearly filled with reverence, he held the flexible sword in his hand, which trembled slightly, revealing his inner unrest, and he responded in a low voice, "Eldest brother has always been so ruthless!"

Although Hou Yuling gave the two of them a disdainful glance from the side, the look she gave Hou Yuxiao was also filled with deep veneration.

Fu Ling and the two other girls turned to glance at Hou Yuxiao, their eyes unmistakably showing an unshielded admiration. Although the three girls were young, each had likely been selected from millions to serve the miss, making them far from ordinary girls.

For the disciples of the Sacred Sect, Hou Yuxiao's decisiveness in killing was almost likely to be admired.

......

It wasn't only Fu Ling and the others. Tian Linong, Tong Hu, and Helian Wuji, who were battling them, cursed Hou Yuxiao for his shamelessness in their hearts, yet they couldn't help but feel a chill over his ruthlessness.

At this moment, Tian Linong found himself in a difficult position; although his chest was filled with anger, he dared not provoke Hou Yuxiao further, fearing he might continue slaughtering the Sword Sect members.

Regardless of those three Gang Qi Realm Elders, even those two hundred-plus sect members were painstakingly cultivated by the Mountain Sword Sect. Losing twenty so easily, how could he, the sect master, not feel anguish?

Glancing back at Tong Hu, uncertainty flashed in Tian Linong's eyes as he quietly communicated through Gang Qi.

"I need to perform a ritual to break the barrier. If we don't act now, those three elders and more than two hundred disciples will be slaughtered by this scourge. Such a heavy loss, even taking control of Zhaoyang wouldn't be worth it!"

Tong Hu looked at the peony in front of him, a shadow crossing his pupils. After thinking for several moments and seeing the Sect Members of the Mountain Sword inside the barrier, he seemed to understand that he could no longer stop Tian Linong and could only nod in agreement.

A gleam flashed in Tian Linong's pupils as he turned to look at Hou Yuxiao inside the barrier, a cold light showing through. While engaging Fu Ling, his left hand, at some point, had also grabbed a plain piece of paper.

The paper was rolled into a cylinder. Despite looking like ordinary material and as thin as a cicada's wing, supposedly extremely fragile, it remained uncrushed in Tian Linong's left hand, who was a master in the Dan Embracing Phase. Even a gentle squeeze from him would unleash tremendous power, yet the paper showed no signs of deformation, suggesting it was no ordinary object.

While clashing with Fu Ling, Tian Linong slowly sought an opportunity to move closer to the barrier's boundaries. Meanwhile, the scenery inside the barrier caught his eye, urgency appeared on his face, and his sneaky movements towards the barrier became more pronounced.

After killing twenty Mountain Sword Sect members, Hou Yuxiao hadn't stopped his assault. Not only had he not stopped, but upon seeing Tian Linong and Fu Ling engaging again, his killing speed had actually increased.

"After breaking the barrier, I must flay this wretched boy alive!"

......

Meanwhile, unlike Tian Linong's extreme anxiety, Hou Yuxiao at that moment watched the sect members he had killed transform into streams of black Qi that only he could see, drilling into the third black petal on his forehead.

Those streams of black Qi, after a moment or two of settling, would transform according to the cultivation levels of their original owners into bursts of pure Gang Qi, continuously flowing into his Dan Tian, enhancing his cultivation.

After slaying Ren Feng at the early Hai hour, he had just broken through to the First Stage: Consolidating Gang Qi Phase.

Now, as Zishi had just passed, his cultivation hadn't even stabilized yet, but with this extremely pure Gang Qi flowing into his body, his Dan Tian suddenly filled up, and his cultivation continued to rise.

Noticing all this, the joy in Hou Yuxiao's eyes grew more intense, and his gaze towards the Sword Sect members began to warp, as if a predator eyeing its prey.

Seemingly unsatisfied, he even cast his gaze first towards those three Gang Qi Realm Elders!

If these people of the Body Opening Realm are like this, if I killed those three Gang Qi Realm Elders, would I be able to break through to the Gang Qi Second Realm, Gathering Malevolence Phase...

And Tian Linong, Helian Wuji, Tong Hu, if I consumed these three men's cultivation, wouldn't my realm be...

As Hou Yuxiao pondered this, his breathing gradually quickened, and the thought in his mind grew stronger.

He hadn't noticed that, from the moment the first stream of black Qi entered his body, his pupils had gradually begun to dilate, and soon, both eyes were completely filled with blackness, followed by a surge of tyranny rising from his mind...
