Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

"Little demon, today if I don't kill you, I swear I'm not human!"

Since setting foot in Hedong, Hou Yuxiao had been preoccupied with two people: Tian Wudi, the Sect Master of Tianding, and Ding Buhai, whom he currently faced. Tong Hu and Ding Peng had both been killed by him. If a father could forget to avenge his son, that would indeed be a strange affair.

Wanyang County had previously been closely associated with Tian Fazheng. Tian Linong and Tian Wudi should both have been with the Qingyang Army from Bailu Academy. Ding Buhai was originally from Leiyin Temple, which now guarded the Prefectural City. His appearance had been anticipated by Hou Yuxiao.

Ding Buhai, with his bald head, had an overflow of dense True Yuan from the Heavenly Gate Acupoint on his forehead. A blood-colored Buddha statue emerged from the True Yuan behind him, distinct from other Buddha statues. Although it also had a compassionate face and a tranquil demeanor, its eyes were a deep red, surrounded by an eerie blood light, giving it an eerily strange aura.

"Blood Buddha of the Divine Platform, extreme righteousness turns into extremity of evil, and extreme evil turns into righteousness. This Ding Buhai is a disciple under The Innocent Buddha; the Master of Hou Family must be careful!"

Lin Yingtian probably wasn't under much pressure, as he could still find a free moment during his combat to turn his head and remind Hou Yuxiao, revealing Ding Buhai's background. However, his tone carried a hint of mockery, more relishing in others' misfortune than providing genuine advice.

Hou Yuxiao did not know what "The Innocent Buddha" implied, but just from the words 'Buddha', he could guess that it referred to a formidable figure, as he had previously met a Buddha named Southern Medicine Master in Tongling.

A Great Grandmaster under such a powerful patron was surely enough to measure his own true strength...

Holding the Golden Azure Dragon Staff, Hou Yuxiao gazed at Ding Buhai, his eyes not showing any fear, but instead bursting with intense fighting spirit.

In Ding Buhai's eyes, however, such an expression was undoubtedly stark disdain and provocation.

"Ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, seeking death!"

Ding Buhai bellowed angrily, his body suddenly moved, his palm carrying the force of thunder, striking as a rainbow light from the sky. He used no weapon for his palm was his most potent weapon.

The rainbow light overlapped with the blood light of the Buddha statue, creating a sharp, electrifying blood imprint hundreds of meters long and several meters wide, overturning hundreds of nearby soldiers, and heading straight for Hou Yuxiao's face.

Hou Yuxiao stimulated the Vigorous Qi in his dantian. He held the Canglong Staff horizontally in front of him, and a black mist rose behind him, with a Demon Ape of Three Zhus faintly visible within it. Powerful force emitted from his body. Facing Ding Buhai, a Great Grandmaster, he did not run away but chose to withstand.

Just to know, a Great Grandmaster who had opened both the Earth Threshold and Heavenly Gate Acupoints had endless True Yuan in his dantian, and was only one step away from condensing a Yuan Dan, illuminating the Three Flowers at the forehead. His strength could be said to be at the pinnacle of the Grandmaster Realm. For Hou Yuxiao, merely a Second Realm Master in the Divine Communication Stage, to choose to withstand, this was definitely unwise.

"Thousand-Faced Handsome Man Hou Yuxiao from the Demon Path's New Star Ranking 92, I remember he's just at the cultivation of Second Realm Master Divine Communication Stage, right?"

"With the army's suppressive aura, Ding Buhai cannot utilize the full strength of a Great Grandmaster, but the same goes for Hou Yuxiao. As just a Second Realm Master, what confidence does he have to withstand this move?"

"A demon path scoundrel, getting cocky just because of some fame!"

"Ding Buhai will kill him."

...

There were more than twenty Grandmaster Realm experts on the city wall. Although they were all engaged in their own battles, Ding Buhai's actions as a Great Grandmaster naturally attracted many gazes, featuring Hou Yuxiao in their viewpoints as well.

Hou Yuxiao, now somewhat famous, was immediately recognized by many through the Canglong Staff in his hand, prompting internal scoffs from them.

With more than two hundred thousand soldiers mixed in battle and no clear outcome, the cultivation of martial artists above the Gang Qi Realm on both sides was somewhat suppressed; this was true for both Ding Buhai and Hou Yuxiao.

Unlike the expectant expressions of the Righteous Path martial artists, those on the Demon Path appeared relatively calm, seemingly uninterested in the duel between the two.

This was normal; these people were all from the Brahman World Purifying Army, focusing on the pressing battle at hand. To them, Hou Yuxiao was at most a somewhat famous Grandmaster Realm expert, whose victory or defeat had little relevance to the current larger battle.

Under everyone's gaze, Ding Buhai's palm strike met the True Qi formed by Hou Yuxiao's Canglong Staff, resulting in a powerful collision and a muffled grunt. Ding Buhai's face suddenly shifted slightly.

"Three Realms of Vital Energy!"

Instead of the scene he envisioned where Hou Yuxiao was killed by his strike, Ding Buhai sensed a dark Qi emanating from Hou Yuxiao's body through his palm, his eyes suddenly turned cold, his voice deeply ominous.

It had only been a few months since Hou Yuxiao's name began to spread widely. In no more than two months, he had ascended from the Second Realm Divine Communication Stage to the cultivation of the Three Realms of Vital Energy. If he wasn't eliminated today, he would surely become a great threat to Leiyin Temple in the future!

A thought crossed Ding Buhai's mind, his eyes filled with greater murderous intent. He gritted his teeth, his palm's Vigorous Qi surged again, the True Yuan from the Heavenly Gate Acupoint wildly pouring out. The Blood Buddha behind him suddenly opened its eyes like a wrathful deity and abruptly stretched its right hand towards Hou Yuxiao:

"Great Nirvana… Buddha Hand."

A wave-like torrent surged from the Buddha's right hand. At this moment, the distance between Ding Buhai and Hou Yuxiao was merely three meters, almost face-to-face for a duel between Grandmaster Realm martial artists.
