Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 265: 154. The Stunning Fifth Master Hou

The ceiling of the cellar was torn open, and dozens of demons, covered in blood, stared unblinkingly at the more than two thousand people hiding inside, their mouths watering.

These demons varied in shape, some bird and beast types were over ten meters long, while some spirit-like demons were similar in shape to humans and surrounded by thick Demon Qi, and there were others of strange and bizarre shapes, which made one feel sick to the stomach just by looking at them.

There was a Bull Demon with nine eyes covered in black manes, a Golden Horned Wolf Demon with golden horns and a mouth full of fangs, a humanoid demon with an elephant head that walked upright and had half-meter long tusks, and a tree-shaped demon covered in tentacles… Although their forms were different, every single one of them exuded a pervasive aura of demon Qi.

At the very top of these demons was an Eagle Demon whose wingspan reached seventy to eighty meters, gripping the recently lifted cellar panel under its talons, slowly fluttering its wings, and its sharp eyes were fixed on the people below, full of mockery and brutality.

Demons at the Seventh Grade Karmic Position are capable of taking human form, and before reaching this level, they cannot speak. Even though the dozens of demons present could not speak, the more than two thousand people in the cellar could clearly feel their madness and bloodlust. Whether it was martial artists or ordinary civilians, everyone's face turned pale as death, utterly desperate.

Cheng Yunye's face was ashen, although he and his sister were only at the Open Body Eightfold cultivation level, they had seen the world; the group of demons in front of them, just by their size, could be determined to be no less than the Ninth Grade Karmic Position, meaning they were all on par with warriors of the Gang Qi Realm. The leading Eagle Demon, in particular, likely had reached the Peak Ninth Grade Karmic Position, and only martial artists in the Dan Embracing Phase could contend with it.

But among these more than two thousand people, there were only three Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm, and they were only at the level of Coagulate Gang, with only thirty or forty Martial Artists of the Open Body Realm. This amount of strength left little to no chance even for escape in the hands of this group of demons.

"Xiao Die, look for a chance to escape if you can later on!"

As an elder brother, even with a pale face, Cheng Yunye mustered up the courage to protect his younger sister, Cheng Yundie, standing in front of her.

Cheng Yundie felt warmth in her heart, and while despair did not leave her eyes, the fear dissipated quite a bit. She gently shook her head at her brother, looking at the dozens of powerful demons around them, her intent was clear.

"Even those three warriors of the Gang Qi Realm, I'm afraid they can't escape, I..."

A sharp, resounding cry pierced the sky, interrupting Cheng Yundie's words.

The Eagle Demon, who was clearly the leader of this group of demons, let out a long cry, and the demons around them moved instantly, with demon Qi erupting from their bodies, rushing toward the cellar.

"Run! Run fast..."

"Quickly run, run!"

"Don't block me..."

"Don't gather together, we'll die faster that way."

"Disperse, quickly disperse and run..."

...

Although fearful in their hearts, the humans unleashed a great strength in their will to live as the demons swarmed. Everyone rushed out of the cellar, starting with some chaos, but under the unintentional guidance of the three Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm, they began to scatter and run, with the demons only able to pursue separately, achieving some slight effectiveness.

Unfortunately, this effectiveness was minimal…

Most of the more than two thousand people were ordinary civilians; the chaos during the escape caused some to be trampled to death, and with demons having already rushed into the crowd, nearly a hundred were injured or killed in an instant, and as the demons began to deploy their tactics, the casualties quickened in number.

The Black Mane Bull Demon with nine eyes let out a mild concentration of Demon Qi. All nine eyes emitted a magical light, and any person swept by the light found their body frozen in place, unable to move, and then they were swallowed whole by the demon.

The tree-shaped demon, covered in tentacles sharp as knife points that could extend hundreds of meters, harvested lives continuously within the crowd. Those who were stabbed by its tentacles rapidly withered, their lifeblood undoubtedly sucked away.

The Golden Horned Wolf Demon, surrounded by a green aura of Demon Qi and as fast as the wind, was too quick for even martial artists, let alone ordinary people, to escape once targeted. In a short moment, the wolf demon had claimed the lives of hundreds with its snarling, fanged mouth.

...

Cheng Yunye and his sister stood back to back as they ran at the forefront of the crowd, their cultivation among the best of the group, which allowed them to be at the front. They could still see the three strongest warriors in the Coagulate Gang phase.

"Follow them, and we might live..."

Cheng Yunye's words had not even finished when a sudden gust from the sky ferociously swept over his head, directed at the three strongest warriors in the Coagulate Gang phase at the forefront. His heart tightened with fear, and then everyone looked forward, their hearts going cold.

The Eagle Demon had appeared before them at some point, its wings spreading and unleashing a fierce gale that blew them back hundreds of meters towards the cellar. All the distance they had covered seemed pointless now.

For the three warriors directly facing this gale, the outcome was even worse. The one running at the front was torn to shreds by the wind, while the remaining two, though still alive, were bleeding from all orifices, half-kneeling on the ground, unable to escape any longer.

The Eagle Demon looked at them with a smile full of mockery and ridicule; it had obviously held back with that strike – if it had attacked with full force, everyone would likely be dead.
