Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 799 - 352, you must obtain Five Elements Heaven_2
"You don't dare to kill me, you don't dare to kill me, hahaha..."
Hou Yuxiao looked down at Zhantai Wuyuan, who was talking big and laughing wildly, his expression darkened to the extreme. He could easily kill this little demon head with just a slight effort, yet he still didn't do so.
A Taoist Ritual Array had killed over half of Hexi's elite forces and left Old Fifth in such a state. The hundreds of thousands of Nanjiang soldiers who had already died, and the soldiers continuing to die in the ongoing battle below, gave Hou Yuxiao plenty of reasons to kill Zhantai Wuyuan.
But he had to consider what would happen after the killing...
From Duanmu Hong's prior reaction, along with those of the six powers present, Zhantai Wuyuan's position in Sikong Yue's heart was certainly exceptional. Therefore, Hou Yuxiao couldn't just disregard these harsh words as trivial. If they indeed came true, then his decade of efforts, all his forbearance, would really be destroyed in an instant.
However, being so trapped by such a young child, Hou Yuxiao couldn't get past this issue in his heart. He stared intensely at Zhantai Wuyuan, not withdrawing his gaze even after he frightened the smile off Zhantai Wuyuan's face.
He...indeed had the intent to kill!
"Master Hou Family, do not be angry. The purpose of Chi Li Heaven is merely to significantly enhance the Martial Artists' roots. Born from the flesh of Nanjiang's Holy Ancestor Ni Han, its original name is Five Elements Heaven. The barrier contains the world's most pure Five Elements Spirit. As long as the Primordial Blood activates the Five Elements Spirit within the Five Elements Heaven, its core can continuously produce Primordial Blood. Any Martial Artist, if able to absorb a drop of Primordial Blood, can remodel one's roots and cultivate at a rapid pace. Does this explanation satisfy you, Master Hou Family?"
The moment Duanmu Hong's voice sounded, Hou Yuxiao's body shook violently, and his pupils darkened to the utmost, not so much of dissatisfaction with Duanmu Hong's explanation.
Mainly, having been besieging the city this long and with Duanmu Hong nowhere to be seen, Hou Yuxiao knew he had gone to repair the Chi Li Heaven Barrier. Now that Duanmu Hong had appeared, it meant...
The Chi Li Heaven Barrier had been repaired!
"As long as they are Martial Artists, no need for Nanjiang bloodline?"
The concern in Hou Yuxiao's heart was promptly interrupted by the information revealed in Duanmu Hong's recent statement. He quickly looked up at Duanmu Hong, excitement mixed with astonishment in his eyes.
Four hundred years ago, Chi Li Heaven's Primordial Blood was specifically used to remodel the roots and enhance talents of six-year-old children from Nanjiang; if Hou Yuxiao remembered correctly, that was the purpose of Chi Li Heaven.
But just now, what did Duanmu Hong say...
That any Martial Artist would do, without age or bloodline restrictions?
Duanmu Hong did not answer, but in Hou Yuxiao's heart, he was almost certain that the Primordial Blood produced by the core of the Five Elements Heaven Realm could indeed remodel anyone's roots and enhance their talents.
It must be so!
Only then could it be explained: Rakshasa Holy Sect was currently engaged in a decisive battle with the Blood Spirit Demon Sect in Bingzhou, such an important time, and yet Sikong Yue still sent many experts to Nanjiang.
If the Five Elements Heaven Barrier can freely remodel the roots and boost the talents of Martial Artists, then whoever controls the Five Elements Heaven can massively enhance the talents of his Martial Artists. This...
He must obtain the Five Elements Heaven!
Hou Yuxiao raised his head, his pupils brimming with ambition.
"Master Hou Family, please release the young master!"
Duanmu Hong seemed not to notice the expression on Hou Yuxiao's face and merely looked at Zhantai Wuyuan in his hands, indicating to let him go.
"Protector Duanmu, how about we make a deal?"
"Exchange the young master for Five Elements Heaven; do you think it possible, Master Hou Family?"
The expression on Hou Yuxiao's face paused, looking at Zhantai Wuyuan, and it immediately turned somewhat grim. This brat was indeed important, but compared to the Five Elements Heaven, he clearly lacked substance, and trying to exchange seemed evidently insufficient.
Yet to simply let him go, Hou Yuxiao felt dissatisfied.
To not let go, with Protector Duanmu, along with the Rakshasa Holy Church's six disrupted realm powers, and Qing Xuan and Bai Tong, the Sub-Saints of Martial Dao, all watching him closely...
Suddenly, Hou Yuxiao found himself in a difficult position.
"Master of Hou Family, releasing the young lord benefits you without any harm,"
Hou Yuxiao's brows furrowed. The last time he had captured Zhantai Wuyuan, Duanmu Hong had said that killing the boy would be something he'd deeply regret in the future. This time he was saying that releasing him would be beneficial and harmless; both statements clearly had deeper meanings.
However, it was Zhantai Wuyuan who was of great significance to Sikong Yue. If Hou Yuxiao killed him, he would only offend Sikong Yue. That must be it.
"Because of your Rakshasa Holy Sect's involvement in this affair in Nanjiang, over four hundred thousand of my Hexi men have died or been wounded. Now that things have come to this, Duanmu Hong, do you think I still worry about offending Sikong Yue or the Rakshasa Holy Sect?"
Hou Yuxiao let out a cold laugh but did not release Zhantai Wuyuan, yet the murderous intent on him had lessened a lot. After finishing, he turned his head to look at Duanmu Hong and said coldly, "Just tell me how I can gain control of the Five Elements Heaven, and I will let the boy go."
"Forget it, Grandpa Duanmu must not tell him!"
"You'd better kill me, Hou Yuxiao, you cur!"
"If you dare, kill..."
Slap...
Seeing Hou Yuxiao slap Zhantai Wuyuan unconscious, Duanmu Hong quickly reached out, opened his mouth as if to speak, then hesitated. After a few moments, his face showed some helplessness, and he gently shook his head.
The reaction of Duanmu Hong made Hou Yuxiao feel somewhat peculiar, but at the moment he had no time to think too much. Indeed, killing Zhantai Wuyuan would be all harm and no benefit, but for now, he was still a bargaining chip. Rather than letting him scream and disrupt Hou Yuxiao's plans, he might as well just knock him unconscious with a slap.
After knocking Zhantai Wuyuan unconscious, he continued to look at Duanmu Hong, hoping he would tell him how to control the Five Elements Heaven. However, at this moment, Duanmu Hong suddenly stopped looking at him and instead lifted his head toward the sky.
"It's about time..."
What's about time?
Hearing Duanmu Hong's words, Hou Yuxiao was startled and followed his gaze into the sky. At that look, his body suddenly shuddered:
The bloodshed in Qingmiao City was not yet over. The dense fog of blood, emanating from endless corpses, had already enveloped half the city. The originally tens of miles wide red cloud of Qi and blood from the Hexi army, due to the mass deaths of soldiers, should have thinned, but in fact, the red cloud in the sky had not thinned but had instead grown thicker and more extensive, even stretching out for hundreds of miles, or even thousands of miles...
"This... isn't the army's Qi and blood cloud?"
"What is this?"
"Duanmu Hong, what are you doing?"
A heart-palpitating rhythm suddenly came from the red cloud in the sky. Feeling the terrifying aura from that rhythm, Hou Yuxiao looked horrified, turned his head to Duanmu Hong, and asked in a slightly frantic tone.
"You wanted the Five Elements Heaven, right? Hou Yuxiao, hahaha, this is the true face of the Five Elements Heaven. The Saint Ancestor of Nanjiang, one of the three great demons, Ni Han. His true body was shed ten thousand years ago. Thanks to you, and thanks to your Hexi, for killing so many of the Nanjiang bloodline, helping us gather enough Primordial Blood. Otherwise, awakening the Five Elements Heaven wouldn't have been so easy, hahaha..."
Hou Yuxiao sharply turned his head to look at Zhantai Wuyuan, who had just woken up and was laughing loudly. His expression suddenly stiffened, and he lowered his head to look at the mountains of corpses and seas of blood below in Qingmiao City, clarifying his thoughts, and his heart suddenly sank. freewebnσvel.cøm
"To awaken the Five Elements Heaven, it was never necessary to sacrifice a Sub-saint's life. The killings at Heigu, Hong Ju, and Ziquan were all to draw my Hexi army to attack Qingmiao City, to kill enough people of the Nanjiang bloodline. That was the real method to awaken the Five Elements Heaven. All that you did before, was that just to deceive me?"
"Now you realize, but it's too late!"
Hou Yuxiao looked at the dwindling Hexi army below. His intent to kill Zhantai Wuyuan soared to an extreme. Being mocked was one thing, but mainly, to think a child of six could be so ruthless, in cahoots with Duanmu Hong in this act, resulting in the deaths of over a million soldiers, affecting millions more civilians in Qingmiao City, it sent chills down his spine.
"Grandpa Duanmu, quickly seize the Five Elements Heaven!"
Reminded by Zhantai Wuyuan, Duanmu Hong suddenly transformed into a streak of black light, charging directly into the red cloud in the sky. Hou Yuxiao also snapped back, looking up at the red cloud. His face showed a hint of hesitation, but as he looked down at Zhantai Wuyuan in his hand, a sneer immediately appeared on his face.
"Since Sikong Yue values you so much, you must know quite a bit. Since that's the case, you're coming with me. If there's danger, you won't survive either. If I can't get the Five Elements Heaven..."
Initially fierce, Zhantai Wuyuan's expression suddenly tightened upon hearing these words.
"Then you'll be even less likely to survive!"
