Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 798 - 352, Must obtain the Five Elements Heaven

Hou Yuxiao's final word, "kill," emitted a chill that nearly infected everyone present, whether they were the soldiers engaged in ground combat or the likes of Qing Xuan and Ying Changtian in midair, who looked on with bewildered expressions.

The Hexi army, having lost more than half of its 700,000 troops, required someone to pay the price. Earlier, when the array was unbroken and the outcome was undecided, Hou Yuxiao could restrain himself; now that the array was shattered, the fury in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

It was not just him; the Hexi army on the ground felt the same way.

The soldiers from Nanjiang all fell back to their original cultivation levels. The Hexi army, which had been suppressed until now, finally saw daylight. In the past few hours alone, countless of their comrades had died. The pent-up frustration and hatred had filled them to the brim, and now it burst forth completely. The qi and blood in midair vibrated in an instant, and the army below, like fierce tigers released from their cages, frantically pushed outward in all directions, quickly turning the tide of the battle.

Lead by Yucheng, the Red Flame Army, like an arrow blazing with intense flames, ceaselessly pierced through the Nanjiang formations. The Zhaoyang and Hong Miao armies followed closely behind, their various weapons slaughtering the surrounding Nanjiang soldiers. In a short while, they had completely cleared and occupied the area around the East City Gate, a radius of five or six miles, and then steadily advanced into the city.

Blood was strewn across the earth...

In the eastern district of Qingmiao City, one could barely see a single building that was intact. On the ground, in the corners of walls, bloodstains were visible everywhere on the damaged buildings.

With each roar and scream, the blood mist in the sky grew even thicker.

Pits were scattered across the ground, filled not with water, but with dark red blood. Normal blood should dry quickly into a pure black color, but the constant influx of fresh blood kept the blood in those pits dark red.

Corpses littered the field, rivers of blood flowed—it wasn't an exaggeration at all to describe the area around the East City Gate with these eight words; in fact, it wasn't enough.

In midair, Hou Yuxiao had already taken over the custody of Zhantai Wuyuan from Hou Yuduan's hands. He did not hold back, grabbing Zhantai Wuyuan by the neck and pulling him close, then turning to look at Hou Yuduan's wounds with concern and asked, "How are your injuries?"

Hou Yuduan shook his head, glanced down at Zhantai Wuyuan held in Hou Yuxiao's hand, and said, "This kid is too cunning, hiding under the temple guarded by five Broken Realm powerhouses. If it weren't for the illusion array I had set up around the temple earlier, we probably wouldn't have caught him!"

Five Broken Realm powerhouses!

Hou Yuxiao's heart trembled a little. He wasn't clear about Hou Yuduan's level of Confucianism cultivation, but he knew his Martial Path level was only at Qiányáng. If it weren't for the fact that recently he stole the Xuantian Secret Record from the two foolish sons of the Wuwei King, which significantly advanced Old Fifth's array skills, there would have been no chance of capturing Zhantai Wuyuan from those five Broken Realm powerhouses.

Nevertheless, looking at the frightening wounds that covered Hou Yuduan, it was obvious that the process of capturing this young man was much more perilous than what he had described.

He... cough... cough... cough...

As Hou Yuxiao held him by the neck, Zhantai Wuyuan coughed intermittently, struggling to breathe. His small face, even though flushing red, still showed fierce and murderous intent towards Hou Yuxiao.

Seeing the little guy's pained expression, almost by some supernatural force, Hou Yuduan reminded Hou Yuxiao, saying that in order to catch Zhantai Wuyuan he almost lost his own life, but now, looking at this young boy, he surprisingly felt no anger at all, which was indeed strange.

"Brother, if you continue choking him, this kid will suffocate," he said. frёeωebɳovel.com

Hou Yuxiao did not immediately let go, but instead brought Zhantai Wuyuan right up to his face, watching him continue to suffer for more than ten seconds before slightly loosening his grip and asked coldly, "Two questions. Where is Duanmu Hong now? And why is Sikong Yue restoring the Chi Li Heaven Barrier? I'm only asking once; if you don't answer, I will send you to your death right now!"

This time, as Zhantai Wuyuan met Hou Yuxiao's gaze, he felt the chilling intent at the core of his captor's heart; the cleverness and defiance he had previously displayed when captured vanished, and a sudden fear emerged in him, manifesting on his small face.

After all, he was just a six-year-old child. Relying on Sikong Yue's influence and Duanmu Hong's protection, he had dared to act so arrogantly. Now, without Duanmu Hong by his side and realizing that the man in front of him, the Lord of Hexi, Hou Yuxiao, was not afraid of his aunt Sikong Yue like others were, and sensing the deep killing intent in Hou Yuxiao's eyes, he was... indeed frightened.

"Hou Yuxiao, stop!"

"If the young master suffers even the slightest harm in the hands of the Master of Hou Family, the Sect Hierarch will surely lead the Holy Church's army to flatten Hexi, the Master of Hou Family should think carefully," they said.

"Hou Yuxiao, let him go immediately."

...

The fear in Zhantai Wuyuan's heart was quickly dispelled by the people flying up to rescue him. There were seven people, including Ying Changtian and six other leading figures of the Holy Church, along with Qing Xuan.

Each of the seven spoke in different tones, some threatening, others trying to persuade kindly. Although their approaches varied, their concerned looks when they saw Zhantai Wuyuan could not be feigned; evidently, this young boy weighed much more heavily within the Rakshasa Holy Sect than Hou Yuxiao had imagined.

"Hou Yuxiao, do you dare kill me? In front of my Rakshasa Holy Sect, Hexi is nothing but ants. If you dare kill me, your Hexi Hou Clan, which you painstakingly developed over many years, will be completely obliterated under the iron hooves of my Holy Church. Do you have the courage to do that?" he said.

"The Five Tigers of Hou Clan aren't even fit to carry my aunt's shoes. Just try to touch me, and the Holy Church's army will immediately withdraw from Bingzhou. Just try it!" he challenged.
