Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 323: 176. Kara Destroyer Palm

Jing Tianyu's voice, low and filled with rage, reverberated between heaven and earth.

As his words fell, four radiant longswords suddenly rose beside him, shining in silver, purple, red, and blue. The silver longsword whipped up endless fierce winds; the purple blazed with arcs of electricity; the red was as intense as the blazing sun; and the blue surged like the waves of the deep sea.

The four completely different swords harmonized perfectly, converging upon Jing Tianyu, and the hundreds of miles of celestial phenomena above his head also divided into four different scenes: wild winds, thunder, raging fires, and a vast expanse of ocean stretching across the sky for hundreds of miles, transmitting a awe-inspiring, majestic power.

Standing beneath the four-colored sky, Jing Tianyu did not so much radiate the sword intent that horrified and awed all but rather, standing at the center of the swords, he had become a sword himself — a divine sword with the power to shake the heavens and the earth.

Every person on the land below who carried a sword, whether it was in hand or sheathed at the waist, felt their swords tremble and make noise at the call of this sword intent, as if eager to unsheathe themselves.

The faces of countless martial artists turned pale as they gripped their longswords tightly or held down their sheaths, worried that their weapons might fly away at any moment.

"Wind, thunder, fire, sea — invoking celestial phenomena with four types of sword intent, if I'm not mistaken, this is..."

"Lord Fengtian's Heavenly Intent Four Symbols Sword Art!"

"Using a killer move right off the bat, is Lord Fengtian... playing it safe?"

"A joke, is Huangfu Xing an easy opponent..."

"The Left Protector of Rakshasa Holy Sect, one of the Demon Sect's twin titans alongside Sikong Xingzhou. There aren't many in the world who can compare; Jing Tianyu getting serious from the start is the smart move!"

...

Hou Yuxiao looked up at the transforming celestial scene above him. Though startled and fearful, after having witnessed too many inconceivable powers today, he built up somewhat of an immunity and thus still had the leisure to eavesdrop on the discussions between the Southern Medicine Master, Wuxin the Taoist Master, and the six great experts.

It started with Maiden Hong's 'Thousand-mile Blood Sea,' followed by Ji Yanzhi's 'Five hundred miles of Vast Righteous Qi Waves,' and now Lord Fengtian Jing Tianyu's 'Hundreds of miles of Four Symbols Sword Qi.' In just this one upheaval at Tongling, Hou Yuxiao's capacity to withstand had undoubtedly increased by tens if not hundreds of times.

With his current Cultivation at the Second Realm Grandmaster level, ruling a region and dominating would not be a big problem for him, but compared to these powerful beings before him, he was less than an ant.

To meet so many characters who nearly stand at the pinnacle of the present age on an ordinary day is nearly impossible.

But today, he did not only meet them but also witnessed them clash. What's more preposterous, just moments ago, a Great Confucian and Taoist Expert and a third-grade Indestructible Realm demon died right in front of him.

Of course, it wasn't just him; the tens of thousands present today would likely not see such sights again in their lifetimes. Just the experiences of today alone could provide enough stories for a lifetime's worth of boasting.

Hou Yuxiao, however, had no interest in such bragging. Watching Jing Tianyu prepare to make his move, his heart was filled with only anxiety, vexation, and a heavy sense of gloom.

He was always someone with an indomitable spirit. Since the appearance of people like Sikong Yue, Tian Fazheng, Tuoba Huang, and Gu Chenfeng last year, he strongly felt the urgency stemming from the gap between himself and these Sacred Land Successors. Part of it was due to his competitive nature, but to a large extent, it was also because of a lack of security.

The Hou Clan was his foundation and the capital upon which he established himself in this world. Expanding and strengthening the clan was the core demand of him and his four siblings. Yet in a world full of treachery, abiding by the law of the jungle, both individual strength and family power had to advance hand in hand, lacking neither.

Only when the family grew stronger could they access more resources, and their strengths would improve faster; conversely, as their strengths improved, the family's influence would grow, its reach extending further, creating a virtuous circle where both support each other.

In just half a year, the five siblings had entered the Gang Qi Realm one after another, with him and Old Fifth respectively reaching the Grandmaster Realm and the Lesser Confucianism level. He even used his absolute power to kill Gu Chenfeng, the once arrogant and haughty Sacred Land Successor from the previous year.

Upon closer introspection, Hou Yuxiao admitted that after killing Gu Chenfeng, his confidence saw a substantial boost. After all, that was a bona fide Sacred Land Successor. This was also why the idea of taking over Tongling sprouted in his mind later on. He colluded with the Ziqing Holy Sect in secret; he also sent Second Elder and Fourth Elder to approach Lian Ningxue and Zhang Yuning.

Looking back, what the Hou Clan did behind the Rakshasa Holy Sect's back, toggling between the righteous and unrighteous paths, would be extremely perilous if discovered by Master Fanyin.

Over the past six months, whether it was personal power or the rapid expansion of the family's influence, particularly the chaos at Tongling that led to subjugation of the Medicine Dust Sect, Hongdao Gang, and the Bai Clan, these achievements had made him somewhat self-conceited.

In reality, not to mention Jing Tianyu, who was causing the earth and sky to change colors at the moment, any of the six great experts above could effortlessly destroy the Hou Clan.

Had he caught up to Gu Chenfeng?

Indeed, he had, yet what made Gu Chenfeng formidable was not his strength but the Wanjian Holy Sect at his back. If it weren't for Maiden Hong concealing the traces of Gu Chenfeng's murder, just any single dispatched individual from the Wanjian Holy Sect could have killed him a thousand times over.
