Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Unable to channel his Yuan Qi, he was incapable of making timely and swift reactions, meaning he couldn't dodge the enemy's incoming long stick, and Ding Dian's face instantly turned ashen.

"Stop at once!"

However, at the critical moment, a voice came through, and an unexpected change occurred.

Ding Buhai, who had been silently observing by the side, finally made his move.

Even before Ding Dian, from the moment Ding Peng made his move, Ding Buhai already knew that the person in front of him was no longer his son. Whether it was the level of cultivation or the weapon used, the doubt about the sneak attack on Ding Dian could fully prove it.

Although aware, he still didn't rush to save Ding Dian right away. To be precise, he felt that Ding Dian didn't need him to save him. As a Great Grandmaster of heaven level, he knew the vast gap between the Second Realm and a Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm, so he didn't believe Ding Dian would be in danger.

But from the moment he saw the true intent of the stick technique, he knew he had to act, or else Ding Dian could very likely die.

After all, Ding Dian was also a Great Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm with formidable strength, and he had considerable prestige in front of Peng Ling and the Mansion Army Martial Artists. He had gone to great lengths to recruit such a talent for Leiyin Temple and naturally couldn't watch him die.

Seeing that "Ding Peng" was relentless and prepared to slay Ding Dian, he could no longer sit by. With a leap, he directly jumped above Ding Dian. After a shout of anger, he extended his right hand forward, and the Buddha figure in the blood light behind him also pushed out its right hand just like him.

Great Luo Buddha's Hand

A gigantic Buddha palm, nearly one li broad, materialized from the sky. The Buddha figure was surrounded by a holy aura, but its eyes bled red, sweeping forth a world-destroying force, vacuuming all the air from within a one-li radius.

Now that he had intervened, Ding Dian was surely not going to die.

Next, Ding Buhai only needed to wait for Ding Peng to fail and reveal his true identity before waiting for his master to come and decide how to seize control of Tongling.

That was his plan, but Ding Buhai discovered, to his annoyance, that Ding Peng didn't retreat in the face of his Great Luo Buddha's Hand. Instead, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He wanted to say something, but he was preempted by another voice.

"Subdue!"

Following the voice was a dazzling character for "subdue" that appeared before him.

It was only a single character, but this dazzling "subdue" blocked his Great Luo Buddha's Hand. Despite being pushed back, it nearly neutralized a good seventy percent of its force, until a figure in white appeared, intercepting the remainder of the attack. The Great Luo Buddha's Hand dissipated completely, vanishing into the natural world.

Hou Yuduan, wearing a white confucian robe, with a scholarly aura around him, stepped in front of Ding Buhai to cut off his path to save Ding Dian.

A shadow crossed Ding Buhai's face as he looked at Hou Yuduan blocking his way. His brow furrowed deeply for several moments until he suddenly realized something. He looked up at the young man in the white confucian robe who had just appeared, shock evident in his eyes.

"Righteous Heart Junior Confucian, Second Realm of Yu Wen, very impressive, Hou Yuduan!"

He recited Hou Yuduan's name, then shifted his gaze beyond Hou Yuduan, his voice carrying a trace of astonishment, "Thousand-Faced Handsome Man... Thousand-Faced Handsome Man, such a true dragon's talent coming from the modest Hou Clan, and two of them, alas!"

However, his exclamation did nothing to slow down Hou Yuxiao's actions...

Hou Yuduan had been hiding nearby all this time, and when he suddenly appeared, it was to obstruct Ding Buhai. When Ding Buhai gave up on the rescue, Hou Yuduan created the opportunity for Hou Yuxiao to kill Ding Dian, and thus, his goal was achieved.

Boom...

A crisp sound echoed as Ding Buhai, Fan Longhe, and several others with profound cultivation below, sensed the anomaly in the sky, all looking up to see what had occurred. Instantly, some felt joy while others felt despair.

In the sky, there suddenly was a headless corpse...
