Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

The staff whistled through the air, the friction creating a shrieking sound that made one feel as if they were right there.

"Transformative Realm Black Dragon Thirteen Forms! This little beast actually has such talent!"

However, faced with these four staff shadows far surpassing the previous ones, Ren Feng, despite whispering in astonishment, did not show too much fear in his eyes.

On the contrary, his desire to kill Hou Yuxiao grew even deeper.

After all, the gap in strength between the Gang Qi Realm and the Body Opening Realm was not so easily bridged, but Hou Yuxiao's youth was enough to instill fear in him.

The four staff shadows, like long dragons, collided violently with Ren Feng's fists, creating several loud noises. Hou Yuxiao's body was smashed towards the houses surrounding the Iron Mine, like a kite flung through the air.

As for Ren Feng, he merely staggered back five or six meters, his cheeks flushing with a surge of red blood, and the wound on his shoulder was torn open once again.

The confrontation between Gang Qi and strength, who was superior and who was inferior, was obvious!

"Hahahaha, little beast, do you still dare to be arrogant? Being able to practice the Black Dragon Thirteen Forms to the Transformative Realm, you indeed inherited some of your father Hou Tong's skills. Sadly, you've been too clever for your own good. If you had stayed put in the town today, I really wouldn't have been able to touch you. But you, this fool, actually dared to actively seek death!"

Ren Feng pushed down the blood rising in his throat, and while laughing maniacally, he approached Hou Yuxiao, who lay amid the ruins. The remaining Gang Qi in his hand hadn't dissipated, and he spotted Hou Yuxiao lying in a pool of blood, ready to personally end his life.

"Old Dog Ren, you're celebrating too early!"

However, before he could get close to Hou Yuxiao, a domineering question came from behind. Ren Feng turned and instantly felt the hair on his body stand on end.

A broadsword four feet in length slashed towards him. Its four-inch blade, illuminated by the moonlight, revealed endless sharpness. The man holding the broadsword was decked in black clothes, with a bulky figure—it was none other than Hou Yucheng of the Hou Family!

Ren Feng's heart thumped violently, and a strong urge to survive made him gather the little remaining Protective Gang Qi. With time being critical and Hou Yucheng using all his strength for the blow, seeking to ensure his safety, he still tried to dodge by moving sideways.

"Respected County Lord, this lady here has a treasure to show you!"

With the appearance of Hou Lao Er, Ren Feng didn't need to look back to know who the owner of that coquettishly tender voice was.

That little vixen from the Hou Family had arrived!

Ren Feng's heart sank, his entire focus was on moving sideways, trying to avoid Hou Yucheng's knife, ignoring the increasingly close Hou Yuling.

Yet Hou Yuling was relentless. Her petite figure flickered several times, and after getting close, she threw a bundle directly at him.

Ren Feng hadn't fully dodged Hou Yucheng's knife when he saw the bundle flying towards him; he just glanced up at it.

But with that one glance, his face immediately went slack...

The bundle was wrapped around by a long whip wielded by Hou Yuling. As she released the whip, the contents of the bundle naturally fell out.

It was a human head, and the owner of that head was his son, Ren Hu!

"Hu Er..."

Ren Feng cried out in grief, his mind in total disarray, his Protective Gang Qi becoming chaotic, deepening the wound on his shoulder, and his body's speed slowing down by several multiples.

Shh...

The four-inch blade sliced through Ren Feng's neck artery, and blood sprayed three feet in an instant...

Ren Feng's Cultivation had already reached the Gangqi First Realm, his bones and marrow had been tempered by Gang Qi to be incredibly tough, not something that could easily be severed by ordinary steel. His son Hou Yucheng's meager Ten Layers of Body Openings Cultivation naturally couldn't decapitate him.

But this did not stop Ren Feng's lifeforce from continuously ebbing away, the light in his pupils slowly dissipating until his Gang Qi had completely dispersed, his body loudly crashing to the ground. Only his instinctual desire to survive betrayed him, lingering stubbornly, unwilling to close his eyes.

"You, a half-dead wretch, would have never been able to sit securely as the Respected County Lord of Zhaoyang for over twenty years without my father aiding you in governing Zhaoyang,"

you lived off my Hou Family for twenty years, fattened like livestock, yet still unsatisfied, stupid without self-awareness, greed without limit, bah!"

Ren Feng, who was reluctant to close his eyes, suddenly heard this voice. His pupils contracted sharply. Wasn't Hou Yuxiao wounded by him? How could he have recovered so quickly?

As he forcibly turned his head toward the source of the sound, his body shook, his face filled with disbelief, his throat trembling, issuing a hoarse voice.

"Impossible... impossible..."

From the ruins, Hou Yuxiao, clad in a short green robe and holding a long staff, walked over slowly. His valiant body was surrounded by a dense, black aura. Despite his injuries, his eyes were beaming with vitality. Looking at a disbelieving Ren Feng, he let out an extremely arrogant laugh.

"Hahaha, had it not been for you, this imbecile, accompanying me in this fight before your death, how could I have had such a quick breakthrough..."

He had previously arranged for Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling to lie in ambush nearby, then, disguised as Ren Hu, deliberately launched a surprise attack on himself to weaken his own strength. Then, he fought with all his might against himself, with the intent to comprehend Yuan Gang from his own body.

After Hou Yuxiao's comprehension of Yuan Gang was complete and a breakthrough imminent, he signalled the hidden Hou Yucheng to make a move, with Hou Yuling using her son's head to disturb his mind, and then to slay him.

One step led to another, naturally leading to success!

At this moment, Ren Feng suddenly realized that he had been toyed with all along, his face flushed with embarrassment and rage, spewing a mouthful of blood three zhang far...

Just as Hou Yucheng raised his knife to finish off Ren Feng once and for all, Ren Feng spat out the blood and immediately closed his eyes, falling backward. Hou Yucheng, still uneasy, checked Ren Feng's breath, revealing a look of surprise.

"This old bastard actually died from anger!"

"He would've died from lack of breath anyway, Second Elder, go search him. This guy must have quite a few treasures on him,"

Hou Yucheng's eyes lit up, and he thoroughly searched through Ren Feng's clothing, extracting everything from inside.

"Nine thousand taels in silver notes, a third-rate Martial Arts technique called Twin Ultimate Hand, and a County Magistrate's Seal!"

Upon seeing these three items, both Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling's faces lit up with smiles, satisfied with the haul.

However, when both siblings turned to look at their eldest brother, Hou Yuxiao, the expression on their faces was not just of happiness, but of overwhelming excitement.

Since Hou Tong's death two years ago, the family not only lost its main pillar but also didn't have another Warrior of the Gang Qi Realm to preside.

But from this moment on, that situation was completely changed...

"Eldest brother, it's been two years, our Hou Family finally has a Warrior of the Gang Qi Realm!"

Hou Yucheng's voice was full of excitement, his eyes slightly envious as he saw the Gang Qi swirling around Hou Yuxiao's body, while Hou Yuling beside him shared a similar expression.

But Hou Yuxiao, upon hearing their words, showed no reaction. He first took the County Magistrate's Seal from Ren Feng's hand, then leisurely turned to look at them with a mysterious smile on his face.

"The first Warrior of the Gang Qi Realm in the Hou Family is not me..."

The siblings were momentarily startled, but Hou Yuxiao had no intention of explaining further. He led them straight to Zhaoyang County Town.

"The Third Watch of the Hai Hour is almost upon us. Fourth Elder should be nearly ready. Follow me back!"
