Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 305: 169. Sub-saint's shattered dream

"Fifth Rank Wanyang, Fourth-Rank Senluo, Third-Rank Indestructible, Second-Rank Immortal, First Rank Immortal; these are considered the upper five ranks of demons. The Third-Rank Indestructible Realm, as the name implies, has achieved a body void of any leaks, impervious to external forces. Even the Vast Righteous Qi of Confucianism and the Five Elements Thunder Method of Taoism cannot affect its physical form in the slightest."

"Such a level of demon could rightfully be named 'peerless'; in the world over a thousand years ago, they could have already met Emperor of Divine Ancestry and received titles from the Divine Dynasty. How could this possibly... how could this possibly..."

"What's so impossible about it? Have you all forgotten? Historical records state that the Blood Demon was originally a Third-Rank peerless demon. If it hadn't been for the world's number one Artifact Refiner, Mo Yunzi, this Blood Demon might have continued to grow!"

"Impervious to external forces, what... does that mean?"

"It means just what it says, that no one can destroy it!"

"Then... aren't we... all going to die..."

Now we've really screwed up!

Hou Yuxiao had long since stopped in his tracks, listening to the discussion of the six experts above, as he saw the blood-colored cloud rapidly expanding in the sky, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help but inwardly curse everyone present, especially Ji Yanzhi and the six experts.

He did not know what had happened up above, but now that Maiden Hong had achieved a Third-Rank Position, it also meant she had recovered her peak strength from the end of Wuzong. Ji Yanzhi, a Second-grade Dongming Confucian and Taoist expert, was equivalent to a Fourth-grade Senluo demon, and a Third-Rank Indestructible Realm demon was equivalent to a Sub-Saint of Confucian and Taoist...

It was the indulgence of the six experts before, and now Ji Yanzhi, thinking he had the upper hand, using the Blood Demon to help himself break through to Sub-saint, had directly created a Third-Rank Indestructible Realm demon.

Now... it's utterly botched!

It would be a lie to say Hou Yuxiao was not panicking, but compared to others, his Hou Clan was much better off. With Hou Yuduan present, Maiden Hong probably wouldn't give him too much trouble, and with the current situation, he wasn't in any position to interfere; panicked as he might be, he could only watch helplessly.

In the sky, that continuously expanding and spreading blood-colored cloud had now covered an area of roughly two hundred miles. Not to mention Tongling County, it was likely that people from neighboring Yinling and Wanyang Counties could see it as well.

Within the blood-colored cloud, black and red energies constantly roiled and brewed for several hundred breaths before gradually coalescing at the core, shaping a delicate and exquisite figure. It transitioned from illusory to tangible, with facial features and eyes slowly emerging on the face, eventually draping a layer of dazzling blood-colored red silk upon the body, and the complete figure of Maiden Hong fully entered into everyone's sight.

"Ke ke ke ke ke..."

It was an incredibly beautiful and enchanting face, and even though the laughter was unrestrained and the voice somewhat evil, the grace in her movements still caused nearly ninety percent of the people below to show a trace of fascination, or even madness on their faces.

Maiden Hong's laughter was a bit chilling, laced with mockery.

Meanwhile, Ji Yanzhi's expression had lost its composure; instead, it was heavy with shock and fear. His Confucian and Taoist aura was being suppressed by Maiden Hong's demon qi, leaving him unable to escape.

"How could this be... how could this be?"

As if unable to believe what was happening before him, Ji Yanzhi's voice trembled slightly.

"Four years ago, when you arrived in Zhaoyang with the Blood Shadow Sword, my soul sensed you. You found my reincarnation body immediately, which just so happens to be that little girl from Wanyang County, Tian Honglu. Do you think that was a coincidence?"

These words shook Ji Yanzhi to his core, his eyes revealing a look of astonishment.

He remembered that four years ago, when traveling through Tianling County, he happened to encounter Tian Honglu, and moreover, her brother was an immensely talented Confucian practitioner. All these coincidences had been orchestrated deliberately by Maiden Hong...

"You truly instructed Tian Fazheng to kill Tian Honglu, and along with her, so many others in Zhaoyang County, and even resurrected me, haha..."

"When I first awakened, I had already recovered my Fourth-grade Senluo Karmic Position. But I deliberately held back, attracting these fools was one thing, mostly to make you believe that my power was still within controllable limits."

"At first, I thought I'd simply drain those six fools of their qi and blood to see if I could restore my power. But I didn't expect that the Great Yu Dynasty was no more, truly heaven helps me."

"You probably don't know that we Third-Rank demons were all given titles by the Divine Dynasty back in the day. Without the Divine Dynasty's mark, it's impossible to suppress, demon qi cannot penetrate it, only Confucian and Daoist Righteous Qi can dispel it."

"When Mo Yunzi suppressed me back then, he left a mark of the Divine Dynasty deep within my soul. If it weren't for the vast amount of your Confucian and Daoist Righteous Qi, I would have had no way to cleanse the mark and fully recover to the Third-Rank Indestructible Position."

"Dear brother, tell me, how should your sister thank you..."

The last sentence was delivered in an ominously chilling tone, and simultaneously, the blood light on her body surged, her right hand extending a slender finger with a light tap.

With that gesture, an extremely sharp blood-red vine shot out from her fingertip, first moving stealthily into the void and then directly appearing on Ji Yanzhi's forehead, piercing his skull without any doubt, protruding from the back of his head.

A guaranteed kill?

Hou Yuxiao, watching this scene from a distance, was filled with shock.

Not just him, but the others must also be questioning this in their hearts at this moment.

This is a Second-grade Dongming Confucian and Taoist expert!

Killed with just the flick of a finger; isn't this, a bit too exaggerated...

Thankfully, what followed still allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.
