Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

"The army retreat, quick retreat!"

"The rear army becomes the front army, hurry and retreat... quick retreat!"

Although Hou Yuxiao was trying hard to maintain his composure, the panic in Su Li and Nie Xinliu's voices when they called for a retreat betrayed their fear.

The panic in their voices not only became the death sentence for Zhaoyang Army but also served as the best stimulant for the massive army of Leiyin Temple just emerging from the city.

The Zhaoyang Army also rode war horses, but they were only of good quality. The 700,000 Earthshade Monastic Soldiers charging out from the city were all riding top-quality war horses, and the distance between them was only a few miles, so there was no suspense. The Earthshade Monastic Soldiers caught up with them in less than a dozen breaths.

"The Zen light shines everywhere, the ancient temple of Mingwang, the spirited Buddha with glaring eyes!"

"The ancient temple of Mingwang, the spirited Buddha with glaring eyes!"

In mid-air, the Mingwang Buddha let out a sharp shout, and the more than 700,000 Earthshade Monastic Soldiers below echoed in unison. An overwhelming Buddha light suddenly ascended to the sky, coalescing into the phantom of an ancient temple. In the center of that temple, an ancient Buddha with a ferocious face was meditating with closed eyes.

Clearly a Buddha, yet its expression was extremely ferocious!

The fusion of the two styles made people shiver.

And just as the Buddha light surged from the bodies of the 700,000 soldiers and into the ancient temple, that ferocious ancient Buddha suddenly opened its eyes.

Two beams of light erupted from its eyes, like two golden arrows piercing through space from beyond the sky. The speed was so fast that even Hou Yuxiao in mid-air frowned sharply, not to mention the 400,000 fleeing soldiers of the Zhaoyang Army; they couldn't dodge at all.

The two beams of golden light pierced through layers of barriers, resembling the cleansing sound of the Buddha. When it covered one of the soldiers at the back of Zhaoyang Army, that soldier's eyes suddenly fixed, and he inexplicably pulled the reins, stopping directly on the spot.

Thud...

At such a life-and-death moment of fleeing for their lives, slowing down even by half a beat would make them fall as the casualties under the swords of the Earthshade Monastic Soldiers. Much worse when directly stopping in place, that soldier was immediately slain by those chasing from behind.

Meanwhile, the two beams of golden light did not halt; all the Zhaoyang Army soldiers covered by it were stopped just like that first soldier, pulling their war horses to a halt.

They seemed to hear some sound and dared not move, or perhaps they were restricted by the golden light; even knowing the Earthshade Monastic Soldiers were almost upon them, they stopped without reason.

The result of stopping was death.

"This Buddha light can immobilize bodies!"

"Hurry and run, or we'll lose our lives."

"Run fast!"

...

Witnessing the power of the golden light, the part of the Zhaoyang Army not yet covered was panic-stricken. Unfortunately, their speed was fast, but still far inferior compared to the blazing golden light.

In just a dozen breaths, over ten thousand were covered and stopped in their tracks.

Suddenly, a black shadow of a staff descended sharply from the sky, standing between the Zhaoyang Army and the golden light. The golden light collided with the long staff, seemingly detecting the obstruction and instantly radiated a more powerful light, sweeping away the black energy from the staff, then fiercely struck at the figure behind the staff.

At the same time, the Buddha spirit projections of Jinguang and Nu Yuan, the two great World-Honored Ones in mid-air, also descended, along with a long saber and a Zen staff.

"Fighting us and still having the mind to help below, courting death!"

Their voices contained traces of anger. Even though Hou Yuxiao's strength indeed surpassed any one of them, he dared to help the Zhaoyang Army escape while battling both of them, which belittled them too much.

The cold gleam of the long saber was piercing, sweeping over hundreds of miles, waves of sword qi crashed ashore, and the blade cut through the firmament, pointing directly at the Demon Ape Martial Spirit's neck;

The Zen staff radiated golden light, paired with the brilliant Buddha light from above the Buddha's spirit, illuminating hundreds of miles, the heavens and earth were drawn by this staff, aiming straight at the Demon Ape Martial Spirit's head.

Bang...

Hou Yuxiao let out a muffled groan, his face turned pale as his Demon Ape Martial Spirit, under the combined assault of the two great World-Honored Ones and the triple attacks from the Earthshade Monastic Soldiers' spirited Buddha with glaring eyes, dwindled to half its stature in mid-air, shrinking from the original 7,000 zhang to less than 4,000 zhang.

"Family Head!"

The nearest Nie Xinliu and Su Li were quite worried. Although thanks to Hou Yuxiao's intervention, many of the Zhaoyang Army had escaped from the Earthshade Monastic Soldiers, if Hou Yuxiao suffered because of this, even if all the Zhaoyang Army escaped, Hexi would still be utterly defeated this time.

"Don't worry about me, lead the army in retreat!"

Fortunately, although Hou Yuxiao, who took on three attacks, had his martial spirit greatly weakened, he didn't seem too badly affected judging by his voice.

"Red Flame Army, engage the enemy!"

Seeing the Zhaoyang Army had completely withdrawn behind the Red Flame Army, Hou Yuxiao's face showed a relaxed expression, and then he shouted another order. A million Red Flame Army soldiers in red armor started moving.

They unleashed their full cultivation, their blood and energy soaring skyward, red clouds continuously gathering in the sky, the neighing of war horses gradually resounding. Before the Earthshade Monastic Soldiers charged, some had already started sprinting towards them.

"Come, today, I shall fight to the death with you!"

Though facing the two great World-Honored Ones and tens of thousands of Earthshade Monastic Soldiers alone, and being suppressed by the blood and energy of the massive army, with a momentum far inferior to the opponent, Hou Yuxiao's face, still ashen from the previous three attacks, showed no hint of fear, and his tone remained fierce and sharp.
