Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 165: 117. Two somewhat capable fools_2

Chen Yuhe's body remained still as he drew his sword and swung it with the speed of lightning, sending a dazzling blue Sword Qi slicing through the black night, sealing off Hou Yucheng's right side.

Comet Dual-Blades Liu Fufeng and Jiang Yu Sword Chen Yuhe, both Grandmasters of the Manifesting Law realm, attacked at the same time. In theory, Hou Yucheng shouldn't have had any time to react.

But the reality was the exact opposite; Hou Yucheng seemed to anticipate their moves, drawing his blade even faster than the two of them. The Gangsha within him concentrated onto his four-foot blade, and in the blink of an eye, he unleashed an astounding flash of blade light that captivated the audience.

The blade light was black, sharp as a spear and fast as lightning, its brilliance not diminished by the night. It collided fiercely with the dazzling blue Sword Qi sent out by Chen Yuhe, and when the fierce Gangsha met the True Qi of the sword's edge, it immediately whipped up a howling gale.

Although the blade strike was sensational, there was a substantial gap in cultivation between the two of them, and Chen Yuhe's Sword Qi only lasted for three breaths before it was completely shattered. Luckily for him, the right side that had been sealed off was now open.

However, he no longer had time to escape!

Having blocked the Sword Qi on the right, he paid the price on his left as Liu Fufeng, holding dual blades, was already in front of his face. Contempt showed in Liu Fufeng's eyes as he thrust forward his blades, aiming to place them at Hou Yucheng's throat.

Chen Yuhe, who had been stunned by Hou Yucheng's blade just now, felt a slight sense of relief when he saw Liu Fufeng was about to succeed.

As long as they had this young man's life in their hands, they could remain unharmed.

But just at the critical moment, a red whip like a serpent's shadow suddenly flew out from the gate of Hou Mansion, targeting Liu Fufeng's Comet Dual-Blades.

The red whip was covered in a layer of red Gangsha, cutting through the air and quickly wrapping around both of Liu Fufeng's wrists. An immense force transmitted through it, and Liu Fufeng's expression changed instantly as he gathered True Qi at his wrists and pulled back fiercely.

The Gangsha was not as strong as his True Qi, and with a single pull, Liu Fufeng was free from the control of the whip, but there was no sign of elation on his face.

By retracting his hands, he had lost the opportunity to control Hou Yucheng.

Of course, they could strike again, but was there still a chance?

"You really won't give up until you're at the Yellow River, eh? Brothers, aim your crossbows well and wait for my command. As soon as I give the order, turn them into beehives!"

Hou Yucheng retreated five or six meters and stood shoulder to shoulder with Hou Yuling, who had just walked out from the gate. He bellowed an order.

The five hundred warriors, each gripping a powerful crossbow, quickly loaded their bolts and aimed at Chen Yuhe, Liu Fufeng, and Zhao QingXue, who was behind them. They only waited for Hou Yucheng's command to unleash a barrage of five hundred arrows.

Chen Yuhe, Liu Fufeng, and Tong Hu, among others, suddenly looked a bit worse for wear. They would not necessarily lose their lives to the five hundred crossbow arrows coming their way.

The problem was, they were all prominent figures, facing a mere Hou Clan of Zhaoyang. Fleeing in disarray would be somewhat embarrassing.

Hou Yuxiao watched everyone from the back, his eyes growing darker.

The reason Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling reacted in advance was because he had warned them with a secret transmission. He really didn't expect that even with the family in this stance, and Hou Yucheng being quite reasonable beforehand, Chen Yuhe and Liu Fufeng would still insist on attacking. How tactless!

Under the night sky, Hou Yucheng glanced at himself several times, his eyes clearly questioning, obviously waiting for an order from Hou Yuxiao.

Despite his irritation, Hou Yuxiao still held back, not giving the order for Hou Yucheng to attack.

Two thousand warriors, plus five hundred ten-stone-power crossbows, indeed posed a threat to these people, but it had to be admitted that if a full-blown battle erupted right here, the warriors of Hou Mansion would also suffer heavy casualties and the city would be left in a mess. Ultimately, the family would suffer the most.

At this moment, Chen Yuhe and others, due to face-saving reasons, were unwilling to leave on their own, and Hou Yuxiao didn't want to make a big move, not giving the order to attack. Naturally, Hou Yucheng wouldn't give the command either. And so, an incredible scene occurred:

Both sides, remaining silent, were at a standoff at the entrance to Hou Mansion.

Finally, it was Zhao QingXue, wearing a smile, who broke the silence. She dismounted and walked up to Hou Yucheng, bowing slightly.

"Senior Chen and Senior Liu probably thought that under the Demon Path's rule, a good clan like Hou couldn't possibly exist. On behalf of the two seniors, I apologize to everyone here. May Second Master Hou let this matter go. We promise to stay here tonight and will leave Zhaoyang first thing in the morning. How does that sound?"

This was her way of conceding for Chen Yuhe and the others. Being a direct descendant from a Holy Land, Zhao QingXue herself bowing down was something Hou Yucheng couldn't take lightly. He quickly returned the gesture, his anger subsiding considerably.

"I'm unworthy of the title 'Second Master.' Fairy Qingxue, you flatter me. My clan went to great lengths to welcome you today, and while these two were indeed too much to bear, forcing me to act rashly."

Their conversation quickly eased the tense atmosphere.

To show her sincerity, Zhao QingXue then turned to Chen Yuhe and Liu Fufeng, speaking softly, "Young Master Hou is so reasonable. Seniors, why not also lower your weapons and make peace? Let us rest here for the night and set off early tomorrow. I believe Young Master Hou will not obstruct our departure!"

Chen Yuhe and Liu Fufeng's expressions were still a bit unsightly, but ultimately it was Zhao QingXue who had spoken. After exchanging glances for a brief moment, they put away their weapons, though they still looked at Hou Yucheng with some hostility.
