Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 174: 120, Sacred Land Successor, kill as ordered_2

With his perception, Hou Yuxiao's martial arts technique, which mobilizes the Eight Main Meridians, is merely second-rate. To think he could contend with me is nothing but a fool's dream.

However, to Gu Chenfeng's surprise, after destroying the Black Dragon, the power of the two beams of light was actually weakened by a striking seventy percent. With the remaining thirty percent, Hou Yuxiao simply dodged to the side and blocked it with his Ape Demon Staff, retreating only three to four meters.

Unable to inflict any damage on Hou Yuxiao with his strike, Gu Chenfeng's mind was instantly shaken. He looked up at Hou Yuxiao, pondered for a moment, and after drawing his conclusion, a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

"Transformative Realm second-rate martial arts!"

The stages of martial arts, unlike cultivation, begin with the basics and progress through to intermediate mastery, minor achievement, and major achievement. With enough time and a bit of talent, these first four stages are not very challenging for people in the martial world.

But to cultivate to the Transformative Realm that's difficult...

This realm requires one to thoroughly understand a martial art to the point of divine proficiency, an achievement many spend their entire lives without reaching.

Gu Chenfeng, with the body of Sword Heart Sacred Pupil and over a decade of practicing the Sword Heart Holy Scripture, despite his unparalleled talent in swordsmanship, had only managed to bring more than a dozen sword techniques to the Great Accomplishment Realm.

In an instant, various thoughts flashed through Gu Chenfeng's mind. Seeing Hou Yuxiao approach again, he glanced back at Zhao Qingxue on the ground, noticed her meridians were gradually breaking through, and his eyes showed a hint of irritation.

"Quick battle, quick decision, I can't drag this on!"

Gu Chenfeng roared softly, the longsword close at hand, his figure leaping to dodge Hou Yuxiao's staff; a surge of Sword Intent suddenly condensed on him, the Green Frost Sword instantly gleamed with a layer of cold light, as the blade began to emit a layer of silver radiance.

Hou Yuxiao, in mid-air, sensing the Sword Intent emanating from Gu Chenfeng, was even less relaxed in his movements, attempting to disrupt him. Yet, he found that no matter how fast he swung his staff, he couldn't break through the defense of the Green Frost Sword, which darkened his expression.

That Sword Qi, centered on Gu Chenfeng, quickly covered an area of a mile, like a stone thrown into a calm lake. The surrounding mountains and forests stirred without any wind, as if some unparalleled fierce beast was awakening.

Dingling...

The sound of the longsword's cry rose from his waist, and Hou Yuxiao looked down to see his Green Frost Sword shaking, a glint of darkness flashing in his eyes.

The true meaning of swordsmanship, all swords submit.

Half a year ago, it was this technique that Gu Chenfeng used against Sikong Yue.

And now, he was using it against me...

"Holy Pupil Sword Intent, Fang Jinghong, meet your death!"

Gu Chenfeng's shout was like a death sentence for Hou Yuxiao.

With one sword unleashed, the overwhelming Sword Intent followed the Green Frost Sword's movement, merging man and sword into one, drawing a trail of extreme silver sword light that sliced through the night, reaching Hou Yuxiao in an instant.

This sword, brilliant in an instant, was as stunning as it had been during the Zhaoyang Disturbance half a year ago. If previously Gu Chenfeng's Sword Qi left mere traces in the night sky, then this blow seemed to split the night itself in two, illuminating the entire expanse with its radiance, immensely more powerful than before by dozens if not a hundredfold.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Chenfeng had reached Hou Yuxiao. He didn't even look at the other's expression. By using this move, it was already determined that today Hou Yuxiao would surely die here.

However, just as his Holy Pupil Sword Intent reached Hou Yuxiao's face, Gu Chenfeng looked up instinctively, only to see his opponent wearing a mocking smile, his own expression turning to astonishment.

Why such a look when death is at hand?

The next second, Gu Chenfeng's astonishment turned to terror...

An aura extremely similar to his own swordsmanship suddenly emanated from Hou Yuxiao's body. Looking up slightly, he noticed that Hou Yuxiao had somehow risen above him, looking down from a superior position.

Hou Yuxiao's staff was already raised above his head, smashing down towards him like a roaring sea!

In that fleeting moment, before Gu Chenfeng's eyes, Hou Yuxiao's Ape Demon Staff transformed into a massive wooden mountain range, the mountain's shadow completely engulfing him, crushing down with the momentum of collapsing heavens and overwhelming seas.

"If Sikong Yue can defeat you, I damn well can too!"

In that moment, the serene and detached beautiful face of Sikong Yue suddenly surfaced in Hou Yuxiao's mind, the shadow of her invincible demeanor deeply imprinted on him.

Whether driven by the desire to compete with that woman, or to provoke the Gu Chenfeng before him, Hou Yuxiao roared as he slammed down with his Cangling Stick Technique imbued with stick intent, the force of his strike climbing to another level.

Sure enough, upon hearing Hou Yuxiao's voice, Gu Chenfeng recalled his previous loss to Sikong Yue. Emotions churned within him, rage surged to his face, turning it an intense red in an instant.

Sikong Yue, the successor of Rakshasa Holy Sect, daughter of Sikong Xingzhou, the Sect Hierarch of the Rakshasa Sect, the Holy Land Successor, and the Princess of Youdu bestowed by the Emperor of Jin, outclassed him in talent, resources, cultivation techniques, and background in almost every aspect one could consider.

To lose to Sikong Yue, he acknowledged defeat, completely convinced.

But how could Fang Jinghong, an obscure Third Dragon Head of Qinglong Association, who had killed three Dan Embracing Phase martial artists and defeated two grandmasters, presume to defeat him, just like Sikong Yue?
