Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 568 - 265, New Changes of Divine Lotus

Hou Yuxiao did not immediately challenge a demon despite his high cultivation level; instead, he first observed the situation on the river surface.

At this moment, the main battlefield was on the right side of the warship. The Lu Family's army bore the brunt, holding off the largest batch of demons. Although the formation was no longer as neat as before, it remained orderly amid chaos, and they managed to block almost ninety percent of the demon crowd by focusing on defense rather than counterattack.

The most troublesome were the remaining ten percent of demons that tried to bypass the army's formation from underwater and midair to damage the warship. These demons were clearly stronger based on their size and more cunning in their actions, among which there were several Seventh and Eighth Grade demons. And among them were also the two Sixth Grade demons Hou Cun had mentioned before.

A huge black fish spirit, nearly two hundred zhang in length, suddenly shot through the water. Its dorsal fin emitted a cold light as sharp as a steel knife, its mouth full of sharp teeth comparable to a crocodile's. Underwater, its eyes, which were fixed on the bottom of the warship, glowed a fierce crimson. A formidable demon Qi was slowly condensing within its enormous body, obviously summoning the strength for a fierce attack, with the warship directly ahead as its target.

Meanwhile, a creature a hundred zhang tall, entirely covered in a layer of thin, white fur, with a red-head and bare feet and an unclear face, was holding a thick iron rod. It leapt high from among the demons, soaring over a kilometer up, jumping past the army's formation. It raised the long stick in its hands and furiously slammed it down toward the right side of the warship's deck.

The moment it smashed down from the sky, the demon's face, as innocent as a three-year-old child's, also came into everyone's view. Compared to the previous black fish spirit, this demon, which resembled a white ape with a child-like face, seemed even more bizarre because its seemingly innocent face was twisted into a grotesque and sinister grin.

Its dense, sharp teeth were no less threatening than those of the black fish spirit, and the impact it made on people's minds as it fell from midair was much more intense than the underwater black fish spirit.

With two Sixth Grade demons leading nearly a hundred powerful monsters, they quickly broke through the Lu Family's battle formation and attacked the warship. All the experts on the ship immediately understood why Lu Kaiwu had just asked them to take action.

Boom...

The black fish spirit beneath the warship struck first, slamming into it from the right side, followed closely by the white-haired demon's iron rod, smashing viciously into the same spot. Describing the force of this blow as immense would be an understatement. Paired with the black fish spirit's huge impact, the entire warship tilted to nearly ninety degrees in the river, throwing everyone on board into disarray.

"It resembles a white ape with a red-head and bare feet, could this be Zhu Yan?"

"Legends say that when Zhu Yan appears in the world, great chaos will ensue. How could this be possible!"

"No, Zhu Yan isn't an aquatic demon; this beast must only carry Zhu Yan's bloodline; it's not the actual legendary demon Zhu Yan!"

......

Hou Yuxiao's expression tightened at the mention of Zhu Yan, a name he had heard of. The demon in front of him indeed resembled a white ape with a red-head and bare feet, which was not far off from the records. Seeing that others had rushed forward, his gaze flitted, and he leaped forward too, but his target was not Zhu Yan or the black fish spirit. Instead, he targeted a crab demon of only Seventh Grade.

A Sixth Grade demon possessed strength equivalent to a Martial Artist in the Yuan Dan Realm. His helping hand this time was meant mostly to curry favor with the Lu family, not to risk his life. The current situation had exceeded his expectations by far, and he naturally needed to be cautious.

Hou Yuxiao's robes created a fierce wind in the air, and the Canglong Staff from his Sea of Consciousness flew to his hand in response. The breath from the Heavenly Gate Acupoint between his eyebrows surged out, and with his cultivation fully unleashed, he almost instantly reached the crab demon's side.

Whoosh...

A gust of wind rose by his ear, and Hou Yuxiao's expression turned stern. He quickly positioned the Canglong Staff in front of him, and a black iron pincer, dozens of meters long, crashed down onto the staff. A terrifying force instantly surged through his body, Hou Yuxiao clenched his teeth, sweat beading on his forehead, instantly realizing the strength of the crab demon he had chosen on the spur of the moment.

By all accounts, the strength of a Seventh Grade demon should at most be above Earth Level Grandmaster and not yet reach the level of a Martial Artist in the Yuan Dan Realm. The crab demon he faced, two to three hundred meters in length, was of moderate size among the charging horde of demons, and he initially thought its strength would be around Earth Level Grandmaster, or at most barely reaching the level of a Heaven Level Great Grandmaster. However, from their clash, he found that this crab demon had at least the strength of a Heaven Level Great Grandmaster.

Strength was one thing, but the crab demon's pincer seemed to possess some sort of mysterious tearing ability. After all, his Canglong Staff was a Spiritual Artifact, and the fact that it was not winning against the giant pincer was one thing, but to leave a half-inch deep white scratch was entirely another.

"Hahaha, you little thing, you think you can fight me, die!"

Able to speak human language, demons of their rank often did so. Hearing the crab demon's arrogant laughter, Hou Yuxiao showed no surprise, but his heart grew increasingly vigilant. As the word "die" left its mouth, he suddenly dodged to the side. The giant pincer missed, but the fierce wind it created still staggered him, pushing him back more than ten meters.

Seeing his advantage, the crab demon didn't let up. One pincer having missed, the other followed swiftly. In its element underwater, it showed none of the sluggish movements characteristic of crabs. Instead, it was more agile than a human. As the dual pincers whirled, Hou Yuxiao was forced back repeatedly, which only increased its arrogance.
