Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Divine Illumination Gang Qi was not a mental method, but a unique mastery that Ding Dian had acquired from the Holy Church. It was considered first-class, solidifying the perpetual essence of Gangsha and turning the body into a weapon. When practiced to a profound level, the entire body could transform into a weapon, ferociously indescribable.

As soon as Cheng Yue made his move, all the spectators immediately sensed the terror of this unique mastery.

His hands were like two sharp swords, his shoulders like two heavy hammers, and his broad back like a mountain. With his whole body transformed into weapons, the already sharp Gangsha, driven by Divine Illumination Gang Qi, became even more potent. Every movement he made was like that of divine warriors, his attack waves like tides, quickly forcing Hou Yuxiao towards the edge of the platform.

On the other hand, Hou Yuxiao, although surrounded by the profound Xuanmo Gangsha, wielded the Ape Demon Staff which indeed looked fierce. Yet, at the moment, he was being forced to continuously retreat. Leveraging the length of the Ape Demon Staff, he leaped and dodged, constantly maneuvering around Cheng Yue.

In an instant, the two exchanged over a hundred moves, their robust Gangsha clashing fiercely. Even the resultant winds from their strikes forced the surrounding people to continuously draw back. Fortunately, the material of the Shengxin Residence's platform was durable; had it been ordinary wood, it likely would have already been pulverized.

"Indeed, as a high disciple of Deputy Magistrate Ding, Cheng Yue's strength is truly astonishing. Ordinary Martial Artists at the Gangsha Phase probably don't even qualify to confront him."

The person who spoke was dressed in an orange brocade robe, with a square face and imposing stature, sitting in the middle of the three groups on the left, none other than Tong Yun, the Chief of Ling Cheng Escort Agency.

Next to him, Zhao Mansha looked up at Cheng Yue, a trace of unnoticed cold light flashing in her eyes. She responded with a coy laugh, "After all, it's the Divine Illumination Gang Qi. I once heard Deputy Magistrate Ding mention that in his youth at the Holy Church, it was this martial arts that helped him ascend to the position of true successor."

After speaking, she shifted her gaze to the Qijue Gate's position to the right of Tong Yun, watched Yu Guixin, who had a somber expression throughout the day, and pursed her lips in a smile without saying a word.

Qijue Gate had been humiliated previously, and now with a child killed, the arrival of Yu Guixin along with over a hundred Sect Members was self-explanatory.

Opposite them, Bai Yunfan, looking at the continually retreating Hou Yuxiao on the platform, wore an expression of evident concern.

"Defending for too long will lead to a loss, Cheng Yue is getting serious now!"

Suddenly, a low whisper from Nie Xinchuan tightened Bai Yunfan's heart, and he quickly looked up at the platform, his pupils constricting.

Given that Hou Yuxiao held a roughly three-foot-long Ape Demon Staff, taking advantage of the long weapon's might, he should not have been losing to the unarmed Cheng Yue.

But the reality was that Cheng Yue, with his fists like swords and his tide-like offense, had now left Hou Yuxiao with no room to retreat. Moreover, his upper body had already penetrated Hou Yuxiao's staff's wind, his shoulder and back fiercely slamming into Hou Yuxiao's body, a series of dull thuds proving the terrifying power contained within.

"Bastard, I told you to back off!"

With a fierce glare in his eyes, Cheng Yue roared, his fists thrusting straight for Hou Yuxiao's forehead. The black Gangsha entwined around his hands suddenly became sharply prominent, transforming into two sharp swords.

Divine Illumination Earth Gang Sword

Hou Yuxiao's pupils tightened, recognizing immediately the move Cheng Yue had used when he entered the city. With a chill running down his back, he sprang up, trying to escape while simultaneously sweeping his Ape Demon Staff horizontally to block Cheng Yue for a moment.

Unfortunately, the distance between them was now too close, leaving no room for Hou Yuxiao to maneuver his long staff. Evidently, Cheng Yue had intentionally exploited this, hence his decisive execution of the Divine Illumination Earth Gang Sword.

With his hands transformed into swords, Cheng Yue thrust directly at Hou Yuxiao's forehead. If the strike connected, Hou Yuxiao's head would likely be punctured in an instant.

At this critical moment, Hou Yuxiao swiftly stabbed his unusable long staff into the ground, then raised his hands, his left in a fist and his right claw-shaped. Dodging sideways, his upper claw struck like an eagle, and his lower like a fierce dragon plunging into the sea, sweeping through the powerful Gangsha, fiercely clashing with Cheng Yue's hands.

Hum…

The fiercely sharp Gangsha suddenly collided, instantly sending out an invisible shockwave that pushed the surrounding spectators back two to three meters. Everyone watching the battle in the center of the arena revealed shocked expressions.

"Even without his long stick, he still possesses such strength."

"This Hou Yuxiao, his hand-to-hand combat skills are also astonishing!"

"No, although his fist and claw skills are impressive, they still fall short compared to Cheng Yue's Divine Gang Qi. Look quickly, he is about to be defeated."

......

Having his fist and claw techniques broken by Cheng Yue's Divine Earth Gang Sword, Hou Yuxiao's pupils slightly narrowed. He performed a swift hawk flip, head-down, and quickly pulled out his Ape Demon Staff. In the face of Cheng Yue's grim expression, Hou Yuxiao slightly hooked the corner of his mouth and made a sweeping block forward.

Ren Feng's Twin Ultimate Hand was merely third-class martial arts. How could Hou Yuxiao attempt to stop the Divine Earth Gang Sword with it? He merely used it to create space for wielding his Ape Demon Staff.

Sure enough, with a horizontal block from the Ape Demon Staff, Cheng Yue's Divine Earth Gang Sword had much of its force removed, merely pushing him back three to five meters. Although the force stirred his internal energies, it did not cause any substantial injury.

Cheng Yue's face showed no sign of surprise. He had already experienced Hou Yuxiao's Twin Ultimate Hand at the city gate. A scornful smile appeared on his face, and just as he was about to speak, something astonishing happened...

Hou Yuxiao, with his right hand wielding the staff and his left hand transforming into a claw, leaped forward, preemptively attacking him.

His left hand's middle three fingers curled up like hooks, and a rich wave of dark demonic Gangsha emanated from between his fingers, which, rubbing against the air, even left three white marks, clearly showing its sharpness.

With his right hand, the Ape Demon Staff ferociously smashed down from the sky. Dressed in a simple blue garment, his not overly-muscular body unleashed endless might at this moment. Nine staff shadows locked down around Cheng Yue's body, followed closely by four stick winds like Black Dragons, targeting Cheng Yue's head and crashing down.

Wolf Poison Palm

Ape Demon Staff Style

Standing nearby, Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling instantly recognized these two martial arts techniques wielded by Hou Yuxiao, suddenly revealing anticipatory expressions.

The other spectators, witnessing this scene, all showed looks of astonishment, and the sect leaders from seven third-class powers couldn't help but their pupils constrict.

"This kid, in just this short time, mastered three third-class martial arts?"

"Moreover, all three reached the Transformative Realm. How old is he?"

"Rumor has it he's twenty-five, truly a martial arts prodigy."

......

Unlike the excitement of Bai Yunfan and others on the right, on the left, Yu Guixin and Tong Yun looked at Hou Yuxiao, their eyes slightly tinged with apprehension.

A faint, obscure brilliance rose in Zhao Mansha's eyes.

"No matter how many third-class martial arts he has, even in the Transformative Realm, dreaming of breaking through the Divine Gang Qi is still delusory. After all, he is just a country bumpkin with no substantial background, hmph..."

With a cold snort from Yu Guixin, the shocking mood of the crowd was calmed down. Although everyone knew Yu Guixin's words were deliberately aimed at belittling Hou Yuxiao, almost everyone still nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, on the stage, Hou Yuxiao and Cheng Yue also collided…

The Wolf Poison Palm Gang met four Black Dragons head-on, yet Cheng Yue's face showed not a trace of worry. Instead, he suddenly looked up at Hou Yuxiao and sneered, "For someone of your age, cultivating three types of martial arts to the Transformative Realm is not bad in terms of talent. But with just these little tricks, who gave you the courage to accept my challenge, huh!"

As he uttered the last word, something seemed to awaken in Cheng Yue's body, and a surge of Gangsha burst forth violently.

He caught the Ape Demon Staff with his left hand and shifted his right shoulder to the left to meet Hou Yuxiao's Wolf Poison Palm Gang.

Upon collision, although Cheng Yue sustained some injuries and was pushed back more than three meters, he decisively resolved both of Hou Yuxiao's deadly moves.

"You're in trouble now!"

Cheng Yue's mouth twisted into a cruel smile as he raised his head to look at Hou Yuxiao, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent. The Gangsha in his body flowed through the twelve main meridians, gathering in his idle right hand. When he raised it again, it had transformed into a green-colored Divine Sword.

"Divine Illumination… Heavenly Gang Sword!"

As the sword emerged, all were shocked; everyone's gaze focused only on the green Divine Sword in Cheng Yue's hand, their expressions filled with awe.

"Divine Illumination Heavenly Gang Sword!"

"Is it real? Am I seeing things?"

"This can only be performed by those who have achieved the Greater Mastery Realm in Divine Illumination Gang Qi, a first-class martial arts cultivated to the Greater Mastery Realm. Cheng Yue's talent is even stronger than Hou Yuxiao's."

"I was fortunate to see Deputy Magistrate Ding use this move a year ago. It definitely is the Divine Illumination Heavenly Gang Sword, no mistake about it!"

......

Not just the crowd, but even the seven leaders from the third-tier forces couldn't help but show signs of deep emotion in their eyes.

All seven of them were in the Dan Embracing Phase of cultivation and had experienced first-class martial arts; they understood too well how difficult it was for Cheng Yue to have cultivated first-class martial arts to the Greater Mastery at his age!

"No wonder Deputy Magistrate Ding is so fond of this disciple. With such talent, letting him grow for a few more years, not to mention the true teachings of the Holy Church, becoming a core disciple is definitely feasible!"

"His two senior brothers, compared to him, are indeed far behind."

Hearing the praises from Nie Xinchuan and Liu Jianghong, Bai Yunfan's expression grew even grimmer. He agreed with these words, but the problem was that if Cheng Yue was this powerful, Hou Yuxiao was in danger…

While the three on the left side had a different reaction, smiling excitedly, especially Yu Guixin, who grimaced fiercely and muttered lowly, "To let Cheng Yue kill him so easily is letting this little bastard off too light!"

Tong Yun chuckled and signaled with his eyes. Following his gaze, Yu saw the members of the Hou Clan across from them, his eyes immediately flashing with a cold light.

"You can run from the monk, but not from the temple…"

......

Just when everyone thought Hou Yuxiao was doomed, his expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, his stern gaze meeting the incoming Divine Illumination Heavenly Gang Sword, looking past it to Cheng Yue's face.

As their eyes met at that moment, seeing Hou Yuxiao's expression, the cruel smile on Cheng Yue's lips, along with the surge of delight at impending victory in his heart, abruptly stopped!

Because, Hou Yuxiao was also smiling, not just smiling, he even moved his lips slightly. Cheng Yue read the two words easily.

Fool

Hou Yuxiao's pupils contracted, and terrifying Xuanmo Gangsha suddenly condensed within him, followed closely by an ancient and mystical staff technique.

He held the Ape Demon Staff with both hands, raising it vertically above his head as the Gangsha flowed through his eight main meridians and the staff technique poured out like a tide, swooping down from the sky…

At that moment, Hou Yuxiao, clad in blue, was truly like an incarnation of the Ancient Ape Demon, with Xuanmo Gangsha hovering around his body, his sleeves emitting black smoke, the staff swinging down both fast and slow.

Instantly, it seemed not only Cheng Yue but everyone present saw it.

Hou Yuxiao's staff appeared to spiral a ferociously clawing Black Dragon; the overwhelming staff technique concentrated on the dragon, hurtling forth as he struck down…

Boom!

The skies over the Prefectural City thundered aptly, sounding to everyone's ears like the roar of that Black Dragon.

The Divine Illumination Heavenly Gang Sword also struck at that moment, fiercely colliding with and confronting the head-on strike of the Ape Demon Staff, blasting apart thereafter…

Bang…

p>A powerful wave of energy instantly exploded the arena. Not only did the ordinary martial artists around the edges step back over ten meters, but the seven leaders in the Dan Embracing Phase also shot up from their chairs, staggering back a good five or six meters.

"Does Mr. Hou's Lifting Dragon Stick Technique meet Brother Cheng's eyes?"

All present were stunned by the sound of Hou Yuxiao's voice, recalling the terrifying Black Dragon that had been unleashed by him, finding the name 'Lifting Dragon' immensely apt.

Ah!

The green Divine Illumination Heavenly Gang Sword, before everyone's eyes, was crushed like dry twigs by the Black Dragon, followed by a piercing scream from Cheng Yue…

Divine Illumination Gang Qi, transforming body into weapon.

That Divine Illumination Heavenly Gang Sword was Cheng Yue's right hand.

The audience's awareness clearly couldn't keep up with the rapid changes between the two on the stage.

As the wave of energy dissipated, intense bursts of Gangsha fluctuations emanated from the stage, a black figure, under everyone's attention, frantically rushed toward the second floor.

"Brother Cheng, didn't we sign a life-and-death agreement? Why are you running to the second floor?"

At this moment, Hou Yuxiao's tone was chilling, sending shivers down the spine.
