Chapter 2185: Chapter 723: Secret Realm Showdown! (Part 2)
Lu Qingxuan and the others, except for Qin Yi who had already broken through the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, were all only at the Middle or Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.
So, in a single breath, Lu Qingyan, under the surging mana of the False Core elder, found her qi and blood roiling and her body continuously retreating.
However, in a split second, Qin Yi’s flying sword shot forth, the piercing Sword Qi flying around.
Lu Qingxuan and Lu Chensha’s attacks followed closely behind.
“The Heavenly Talisman Lu Family truly lives up to its reputation! Hah!”
After several exchanges, this False Core elder realized that the Lu Family disciples in front of him were not ordinary, and that without using his true skills, he might actually suffer a setback.
He opened his mouth and spat out a cold light, which transformed into an ancient and elegant fishing rod made of interwoven jade-colored pearl light.
This was his life-bound magic treasure—the Sea Anker!
The fishing rod spun swiftly, gathering a sea-like deep blue brilliance, creating a sense of weight as if a mountain was pressing down on Qin Yi and the others.
Immediately afterward, the rod’s crystalline filament flew toward Lu Qingxuan, intending to bind this main force.
“Clang!”
Next to him, Qin Yi immediately made a gesture of incantation with both hands, pointing at her own flying sword, swiftly striking at the crystalline filament, but it was tightly entangled by the filament, constantly trembling.
Seeing this, Lu Qingxuan connected his Thunder Fire Scepter to his chest, condensing the [Urgent Thunder Qilin Diagram] with the “Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art”.
In an instant, his entire body transformed into a sea of lightning, with a qilin resembling a thunder beast atop his head raising its hooves and roaring, stepping into the deep blue brilliance like an ocean.
“Boom!”
The attack, filled with destructive and explosive qi mechanic, directly broke through the offensive of the False Core elder, creating a terrifying mana wave, causing the fishing rod magic treasure to shake violently, its spiritual light unstable.
Lu Qingyan and Lu Chensha, upon seeing this, acted immediately.
But the False Core True Man, being a True Man, was not comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, as he summoned a top-grade spiritual artifact to defend himself, and the fishing rod in his hand suddenly bloomed with blue brilliance, attacking the group.
“Five Elements Primordial Wheel!”
Not far away, a five-colored treasure wheel spun atop Lu Xuanqian’s head, illuminating him as if invulnerable to all techniques, suppressing his opponent at the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment.
Though young, he had only broken through to Foundation Establishment seventeen years ago.
Yet, possessing a Five Elements Spiritual Body, his cultivation progressed at lightning speed, like eating and drinking, already breaking through to the Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment.
Beside him, Lu Linghe was not to be outdone.
Though she started much later and hadn’t cultivated many techniques,
as one of Lu Changsheng’s most beloved daughters, she was often nurtured by Shariputra and heavenly and earthly treasures, her foundation robust.
Not only did she possess the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment, but her Black Dragon Spear, Qiankun Ring, and other top-grade spiritual artifacts, as well as all her accessories and attire, were spiritual artifacts.
It’s safe to say that even a typical late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn’t easily break through all her spiritual artifacts.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator facing her, upon seeing this dazzling array of treasures, couldn’t help but feel nervous.
After all, this treasure light was too glaring, and it was clear that she was the dearly beloved daughter of Changsheng True Master.
If she were to sustain even a slight injury, and if it drew the True Man’s anger… or displeased other Lu Family disciples, he wouldn’t be able to continue living in Jiang Country.
However, faced with Lu Linghe’s open-and-close, beast-like combat style, he was no match and steadily retreated.
“Fellow young friends, how about we call it a day and stop here?”
At this moment, the False Core elder realized he could not easily defeat Lu Qingxuan and others.
And the three juniors he brought could also not defeat Lu Xuanqian, Lu Linghe, and Lu Qingze.
Continuing this way was meaningless, only leading to mutual destruction.
“Call it a day and stop here? Do you think the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family is easy to bully?”
However, at this moment, a crisp and pleasant voice rang out.
Only to see a stunning young woman in a pink-white dress appear in the distance, her beautiful eyes sizing up the fishing rod in the False Core elder’s hand.
Beside her stood a tall young man enveloped in a red glow.
“Sister!”
Lu Linghe, seeing this woman, immediately called out joyfully, thrusting forward with her Black Dragon Spear to force back the cultivator in front of her, intending to step on the Wind-Fire Wheels to find Lu Wangshu.
But remembering she was still in battle, and if she left, the pressure would fall on Lu Xuanqian and the others, she stopped herself.
“Wangshu.”
“Sister Wangshu.”
The others also called out when they saw Lu Wangshu, looking over at Lu Lingxiao nearby.
However, the status of Lu Lingxiao as Young City Lord was too attention-grabbing, so Hong Lian helped to conceal him, causing even Lu Linghe not to recognize her own brother aside from Lu Wangshu.
“So it is the Talisman Fairy. May I ask what the Fairy intends?”
As the daughter of Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue, Lu Wangshu spent many years in Great Dream Immortal City, responsible for the Lu Family’s [Heavenly Talisman Hall] there, and thus was quite famous.
Even this False Core True Man recognized Lu Wangshu, suppressing his temper and speaking politely.
“Naturally, you should hand over all your gains.”
Although Lu Wangshu was quite tempted by the fishing rod magic treasure, during such secret realm trials, she tried her best not to cause trouble for the family.
“Does this young friend completely disregard this old man?”
The elder’s facial expression immediately turned cold.
Even a clay figure has a temper.
He, a dignified False Core True Man, an elder of a region, out of respect for the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family and Changsheng True Master, already showed considerable respect to Lu Qingxuan, Lu Wangshu, and others.
But Lu Wangshu, a mere junior, actually asked him to hand over all his gains, showing complete disregard for him as an elder!
Intolerable!
Utterly intolerable!
Even though there were rumors outside that this Talisman Fairy inherited Changsheng True Master’s Talisman Path, possessing extraordinary true power, he still couldn’t back down like this.
Otherwise, where would his dignity be?
“In that case, I will take it myself.”
