Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 685 - 307, Fangs all out_2
Upon hearing these words, the Wufa Chan Master suddenly realized that he hadn't been paying attention to the situation below for quite some time, and he quickly looked down for a glimpse.
At that glance, his mind and spirit were both severely shaken.
The nearly four hundred thousand strong army had already engaged with the Huang Chan Army at the forefront, with the first ranks consisting of more than a hundred thousand soldiers in black armor mounted on ordinary war horses. Judging by the dual-colored lotus emblem on their chestplates, this army likely belonged to the Hou Clan.
The difference between having war horses and not was immense. Leiyin Temple of course had war horses, but the issue was that they had just landed and had not had the chance to disembark their horses. At this moment, they could only rely on the physical bodies of the Huang Chan Army to defend against the more than a hundred thousand Hou Clan soldiers on horseback.
The charge of the cavalry was like a force tearing through bamboo, scattering the Huang Chan Army instantaneously. Just in this first wave of attack, at least twenty or thirty thousand Hou Clan soldiers made their way in. With the advantage of their war horses, these soldiers handled the Huang Chan Army with ease, suffering minimal losses.
As for the Huang Chan Army, they had to resist the second wave charge of the outer Hou Clan cavalry and deal with the soldiers who had already broken through, finding both tasks troublesome and unceasing.
Even more deadly, armies from both the Shen Clan and Xiong Yun Gang on the left and right sides were closing in swiftly. Their front ranks also had seventy to eighty thousand cavalry each, and the impact of their first wave was nearly the same as that caused by the Hou Clan.
With the combined force of the three, the hundred thousand Huang Chan Army was like paper, instantly scattered and completely merging into the fray with the three armies, engaging in close-quarter combat.
It was less a fight and more a one-sided slaughter.
The more than two hundred thousand cavalry, after two rounds of charges, had halved the Huang Chan Army's numbers. Those who survived were scattered and outnumbered; they were cut down and choked piece by piece by the huge numbers of the three armies, without any power to fight back.
In barely a hundred breaths, the hundred thousand Huang Chan Army had already collapsed to this point.
"Hold the line, we must not let them break through the crossing!"
Yuan Kong's voice was hoarse from screaming, though it was touching. However, his wishful thinking was far from reality. Right now, it wasn't just about holding the crossing – even saving his own life was proving difficult.
A Righteous Long Sword that burned as intensely as the scorching sun suddenly attacked from behind him. The vigilant Yuan Kong hastily dodged to the left. Although the sun shone brightly by the crossing, the sword's radiance remained fierce. Even as it passed by his body, Yuan Kong could feel the heat on the sword's edge capable of scorching him.
"Perhaps the Zen Master should worry about himself first, instead of being concerned with other matters!"
A voice that was both refined and modest came through. Yuan Kong turned his head to see Hou Yuduan standing in midair in a white robe, resembling a gentleman. In addition to anger, his heart was filled with shock and confusion.
At this moment, everyone at the crossing was oppressed by the armies' vigor, and he was no exception. His Cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm wasn't fully deployable, but even so, his strength was at least at the Yuan Dan First Realm, far beyond what Hou Yuduan, a mere Heavenly Great Grandmaster, could match. However, Hou Yuduan had already exchanged dozens of moves with him thus far.
He had been somewhat perplexed before, thinking there was an issue with his own power, until the appearance of the blazing Righteous Long Sword made him realize that Hou Yuduan also held the title Zhao Yang Mo Ru... meaning...
Before Yuan Kong's thoughts could conclude, Hou Yuduan, hovering in midair, began to exude a white radiance from his body like a divine being, daunting and inspiring awe.
"Divine Void Hua Cai, so it is indeed!"

The Righteous Heart Junior Confucian corresponds to the Martial Path body-opening, the Clarity-Discerning Confucian Student to Innate Gang Qi, and the Righteous Heart Junior Confucian to the Five Realms of Grandmasters. Following that, an Object-Rectifying Master corresponds to the Yuan Dan Realm.
Yuan Kong himself was a Yuan Dan Realm Great Perfection Martial Artist and also a high-ranking sect member of the Leiyin Temple, with a certain understanding of Confucianism, so he could see at a glance:
The white radiance emanating from Hou Yuduan's body was the first realm of the three realms of an Object-Rectifying Master, the Divine Void Hua Cai; it was a manifestation of the martial artist having achieved a thorough understanding of one's true nature, with the Vast Righteous Qi from the Eighth Orifice flowing outwards.
For an Object-Rectifying Master, the three realms are Divine Void, Bathing in Light, and Great Perfection. No wonder Hou Yuduan could fight with him for so long. With dual cultivation in martial and Confucian arts and not yet thirty years old, his martial cultivation as a Heavenly Great Grandmaster was one thing, but his Confucian cultivation reaching the Divine Void Realm, his talent was even greater than his brother Hou Yuxiao. Was the Hou Clan specializing in producing prodigies?
Yuan Kong looked up at Wufa Master Uncle, who had not yet taken down Hou Yuxiao, then back at Hou Yuduan before him. His face twisted with disbelief, struggling to accept what he saw. He rapidly processed his thoughts, viewing Hou Yuduan with a chilling gaze and then, with hands joined, he said:
"Lord Hou, the Fifth Son, having studied Confucian texts, still perpetrates such slaughter. Can you still so righteously maintain Vast Righteous Qi without fearing that the Master would disdain you?"
Hearing Yuan Kong's accusation, the normally composed Hou Yuduan's face suddenly carried a faint smile. He looked around at the countless dead and injured of the Huang Chan Army, shook his head gently, and said in a quiet voice, "Had the Leiyin Temple no designs on Hexi and refrained from landing on Longxiang County shores, such a catastrophe would not have befallen them!"
"The monk does not begrudge, indeed it was our Leiyin Temple that erred first. However, to slaughter my temple's monks so extensively, does the Fifth Young Master not feel a speck of remorse in his heart?"
"To kill or be killed is but a moment of thought. If I do not act with such killing intent today, sooner or later, I would have to face the slaughter by Leiyin Temple's blade. Master, is that not correct?"
Yuan Kong's expression changed, wanting to retort, but Hou Yuduan continued.
