Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 540 - 253, Zhan Taiqing’s strength

Hou Yuxiao had already figured it out beforehand. Zhan Taiqing was on her way to attend the Divine Capital Feast, and since the feast was meant to establish the Anti-Jin Alliance, those who would ambush her to prevent her from reaching the Divine Capital could only be from Great Jin.

They aren’t from Great Jin?

Looking at the three masked assailants in black before him, Hou Yuxiao was filled with confusion.

No, could it be possible that they are actually from Great Jin but are intentionally masked to make us think they are from other Holy Lands...

That’s right, Great Jin now wants to incite discord between the other Holy Lands!

Amidst the thousands of thoughts in his mind, Hou Yuxiao suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, his Di Que Acupoint flared open violently, and the True Yuan inside his body burst forth instantly, as he quickly dodged to the side.

Whoosh...

Looking at the spot where he had just been standing, now pierced by Sword Qi to form a giant pit thirty feet deep, Hou Yuxiao’s forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Before he could calm his nerves, the Sword Qi attacked him once again.

The three black-clad assailants, upon seeing Zhan Taiqing make her move, clearly realized there was no need for discussion and consecutively drew their weapons, launching an attack directly at them!

Splash...

A rending sound rang out, and Hou Yuxiao, who had already dodged to the side, felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. He turned to see a sword wound four inches deep stretching from his left shoulder to his back, blood gushing out profusely.

He did not dare to hesitate, quickly channeling his True Yuan to stop the bleeding, and turned to face the sword-wielding assailant in black, noticing the three radiant flowers of vital essence over the assailant’s head and a flash of terror in his pupils.

The appearance of the three radiant flowers of vital essence was the hallmark of a Great Perfection expert in the Three Realms of Yuan Dan, an indication he had already seen many times and recognized immediately.

This was a Martial Path expert who completely overpowered him by an entire realm!

This was trouble...

"Leave those two little fellows to me. The enchantress from the Demon Sect is tricky; I hope the two seniors will be extra cautious,"

The black-clad figure scoffed coldly, not taking Hou Yuxiao and Ding Xiang seriously at all. With a swift movement, the assailant drew out a cold front of a hundred meters with his three-foot longsword in the night sky, aiming it at Hou Yuxiao and Ding Xiang.

Considering them only as Martial Artists of the Master Realm, he naturally wouldn’t take them seriously.

The black-clad figure’s seemingly casual strike brought immense psychological pressure to Hou Yuxiao. Without a moment’s hesitation, he drew his Canglong Staff, as the Xuanmo True Essence within him surged wildly, his body enshrouded in black mist. Although he appeared strong, it was still pathetically weak under the black figure’s Sword Qi.

Facing Sword Qi that was about to hit his face, Hou Yuxiao gritted his teeth, raised his Canglong Staff, and channeled the True Yuan from his dantian through his body’s Twelve Principal Meridians. With a vigorous leap, although he could not escape the range of the Sword Qi’s attack, his body stretched open as he jumped up high.

Rising ten feet into the air, his eyes flashed fiercely, and his Xuanmo True Essence formed a majestic range of mountains behind him. The thirty-foot Demon Ape in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly loomed atop the mountains, mimicking his movements and violently cleaving down on the Sword Qi.

Boom...

The Canglong Staff smashed down, and the intense blast of air it displaced roared like an angry beast. This created a black shadow of the staff extending for a hundred meters. However, the target was not the black-clad assailant but merely the Sword Qi he had just emitted.

Hou Yuxiao clenched his teeth. The difference in their cultivation was too great. Even if he practiced the Cangling Stick Technique of the Transformative Realm, the idea of battling an expert at the Full Completion of Yuandan Realm was wishful thinking. His staff shadow extended for a hundred meters, and the assailant’s Sword Qi was only a hundred meters as well. They seemed similar, but the two forces were of entirely different magnitudes.

When the staff shadow met the sword’s edge, it only negated less than ten meters of it, and the remaining Sword Qi continued unimpeded towards him and Ding Xiang. Hou Yuxiao’s eyes flickered with a shadow, and a trace of despair slowly rose in his heart.

"Family Head Hou, hold them off. With Master unbeaten, we’ll be fine!"

Suddenly, a point of starlight emerged before him. It was Ding Xiang, his ally in facing the black-clad assailants. Although she had only the cultivation of a Second Realm Grandmaster, she was extremely fast. The starlight was from the short sword in her hand. She nimbly skirted around Hou Yuxiao and lunged forward to attack the black-clad figure.

Master unbeaten, what an easy thing to say!

Reflecting on the dire situation they were in, one caused by Zhan Taiqing, Hou Yuxiao felt a resentful anger towards that woman. Aware that one of the black-clad Yuan Dan Realm experts had addressed the other assailants as seniors, implying they were at least of the Qiányáng Realm level of cultivation. Zhan Taiqing was facing two, and to remain unbeaten seemed impossible.

Despite his skepticism, a part of Hou Yuxiao still harbored some hope. Unfortunately, just as he wanted to turn and check the battle situation with Zhan Taiqing, the relentless assault from the figure in black came again.

Ding Xiang’s harassing attack, despite being tricky in angle, was effortlessly dismissed by a mere wave of the black figure’s hand, sending her flying, unaffected. The figure then continued to press towards Hou Yuxiao, evidently giving the Great Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm greater regard than Ding Xiang, intent on eliminating him first.

Hou Yuxiao urgently spurred his dantian’s True Yuan, dodging frantically in the darkness with speed pushed to the utmost limit. Yet even so, the black figure’s sword edge continued to inflict wounds on his body, several times nearly striking fatal areas such as the neck and heart.

"No, at this rate, I’ll definitely die!"

A fierce look flashed in Hou Yuxiao’s eyes as he saw Ding Xiang not yet recovered. Realizing he could not rely on her, he turned his focus inward to his Sea of Consciousness, first glancing at his Merit Gold Page’s values.
