Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 769 - 340. Failed Negotiations_3
Whether the two of them believed his words was uncertain, but the fact that Hei Ting deliberately asked such a question clearly indicated that they had become wary of him, which was not a good sign.
"Mr. Hou just happens to be heading back to Hexi and is willing to do this favor along the way, you two are overthinking it!"
Discussing cooperation or even recruitment at this time would equate to revealing one's ambition towards Nanjiang. Should it cause deeper suspicion in the two, it could lead to rampant rumors throughout Qingmiao City and create unnecessary trouble for the Hexi army arriving tomorrow morning.
"Then we of Hei Miao are truly thankful for the Master of Hou Family's enthusiastic offer. Why not accompany us downstairs, Master Hou, to discuss more about Qingmiao City? In passing, we can also extend our hospitality as hosts. What do you say?"
Hou Yuxiao lifted his head to stare at Black Yan, who was inviting him with a benevolent face. After more than ten breaths, he ultimately shook his head, lightly laughing, "You two are too kind. I must hurry back to Hexi. There's no need!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Beast Fang ornaments hanging around the necks of the two in front of him erupted in intense light. Fierce Demonic Qi surged out, instantly forming a black singularity behind him.
The presence of two shattered realm powerhouses suddenly suppressed the area for dozens of miles around, enveloping Hou Yuxiao within it. Two long swords flew out from atop the two heads and, once grasped, they did not hesitate and fiercely slashed towards Hou Yuxiao's head, giving him no chance to escape.
Clang...
A terrifying metallic clashing noise instantly echoed above Qingmiao City. Watching Hou Yuxiao block their swords with his golden staff, the expressions of Black Yan and Hei Ting simultaneously darkened.
"Aren't you two a bit too hot-headed!"
Hou Yuxiao, compared to the two, had an even gloomier expression. When Hei Ting extended the invitation, he had almost confirmed there was no more room for discussion. Therefore, he claimed he needed to return to Hexi and politely refused them.
But he never imagined the two would actually take action against him.
"Big brother, don't waste words on him. Kill him first!"
Completely ignoring any dialogue with him, Hei Ting issued a fierce shout. The long sword in his hand suddenly became enveloped with black Qi, circled above his head, and then, leaping into the air, he brought down a slash that sent three dozen miles worth of dark Sword Qi directly at Hou Yuxiao's face.
The Sword Qi tore through the air, creating three spatial rifts that exposed the dazzling galaxies behind them—beautiful yet filled with lethal intent.
"Galaxy Divine Sword, a unique art of Hei Miao!" freēnovelkiss.com
Hou Yuxiao's gaze turned heavy. As he attempted to bring back the Canglong Staff to defend, he felt an enormous force from the staff; looking up, he discovered Black Yan, who had not yet retreated, was using his sword to trap his staff, clearly intending to create an opportunity for Hei Ting.
"Family Head Hou, no need to hurry. First, try my second brother's sword."
Hou Yuxiao took a deep breath, his brow furrowing deeply, as he watched the cold smile on Black Yan's face and the impending slash from Hei Ting. A trace of You light flickered in his pupils, and he said in a low voice, "You ignore the wine I toast in favor of the punishment wine. Mr. Hou kindly informs you of the attack on Heigu, yet instead of seeking trouble with Qing Xuan, you choose to strike at me first. You're courting death!"
As the words "courting death" left him, Hou Yuxiao's body violently shook, and a shattered singularity suddenly emerged behind him. The aura of the Xuan Demon instantly enveloped him, and his presence swiftly ascended. In an instant, he completely suppressed the auras of both Black Yan and Hei Ting.
"Do you two weaklings really think you can kill me?"
Before the battle, Hou Yuxiao did not understand what Old Fifth meant about the martial path in Nanjiang being underdeveloped compared to Shenzhou, but as soon as he felt the presence of Black Yan and Hei Ting, he instantly understood.
In Shenzhou, a shattered realm powerhouse's presence would cover at least a hundred miles.
Yet the presence of these two only stretched for dozens of miles.
Hou Yuxiao forcefully pulled back his staff, nearly dragging Black Yan, who stumbled in response. After retrieving his staff, Hou Yuxiao did not rush to strike but instead focused his gaze on the Beast Fang ornaments around both their necks.
Their Cultivation seemed to have a lot to do with these ornaments. If he remembered correctly, the Martial Artists he had encountered from Nanjiang also sported such Beast Fang ornaments on their necks.
Clang clang clang...
A series of rustling weapon clashes suddenly came from the city below.
Hou Yuxiao looked down, his expression immediately turning ugly.
"Enemy invasion, all Hei Miao forces, prepare for battle!"
The battle between the three had only lasted for a few breaths, so the Hei Miao army below could not possibly have responded this quickly.
"Coming alone to cause trouble in our Hei Miao City, isn't Master of Hou Family being a bit too arrogant!"
Black Yan and Hei Ting stood together again, their faces filled with cold sneers. They too knew the gap between themselves and a Martial Cultivator from Shenzhou, and were also aware of Hou Yuxiao's record of fighting solo against Fahai, so right from the beginning, they were convinced they wouldn't win. Therefore, before they took action, they covertly notified the city's army.
The oppressive blood Qi of the fifty-million-strong Hei Miao army was enough to render Hou Yuxiao's strength useless!
Hou Yuxiao, bearing an ugly expression, gazed at the two, his breathing growing rapid—one could tell he was seriously irritated.
After a long while, Hou Yuxiao finally spoke with a tone of compromise, his voice heavy, "The two elders indeed have impressive tactics. Mr. Hou has learned his lesson today and will surely repay it generously in the future, hmph!"
