Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1982: 520: Secret Realm Showdown! (part 2)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Apart from Qin Yi, who had already advanced to the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, Lu Qingxuan and the rest were merely at the Middle or Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.
Thus, in one swift motion, Lu Qingyan faced the overwhelming mana surge from the False Core elder, her qi and blood churning wildly as her body kept falling back.
Yet, in the blink of an eye, Qin Yi unleashed her flying sword, with sharp Sword Qi whirling fiercely around it.
The assaults from Lu Qingxuan and Lu Chensha trailed right after.
"The Heavenly Talisman Lu Family truly lives up to its reputation! Hah!"
Through a series of clashes, the False Core elder discovered that these Lu Family disciples before him were far from ordinary, and failing to employ his full abilities might lead to his own downfall.
From his mouth burst a streak of chilling light, shifting into an antique and graceful fishing rod crafted from interlaced jade-hued pearl glows.
This was his natal magic treasure—the Sea Anker!
The fishing rod rotated at high speed, drawing in a profound blue luster reminiscent of the ocean, exerting a crushing weight like a towering peak upon Qin Yi and the group.
Right after, the rod's crystal thread shot toward Lu Qingxuan, aiming to ensnare this key fighter."Clang!"
Beside her, Qin Yi quickly formed hand seals with both palms, directing her flying sword at the crystal thread, but the sword got firmly wrapped by it, vibrating nonstop.
At this sight, Lu Qingxuan drew his Thunder Fire Scepter close to his chest, summoning the [Urgent Thunder Qilin Diagram] via the "Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art".
Suddenly, his form turned into a tempest of lightning, a thunder-beast qilin hovering above his head as it lifted its hooves and bellowed, charging into the oceanic blue glow.
"Boom!"
The strike, brimming with devastating and bursting qi force, shattered the False Core elder's assault outright, unleashing a fearsome mana surge that made the fishing rod treasure quiver intensely, its spirit glow flickering erratically.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyan and Lu Chensha sprang into action without delay.
Yet, as a True Man at False Core, he far outmatched any Foundation Establishment cultivator; he called forth a superior spiritual artifact for protection, while the rod in his grasp flared with azure light, lashing out at the team.
"Five Elements Primordial Wheel!"
Nearby, a multicolored treasure wheel rotated above Lu Xuanqian’s head, enveloping him in an aura that rendered him impervious to spells, overwhelming his foe at the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment.
Though still youthful, his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment had occurred just seventeen years prior.
With his Five Elements Spiritual Body, however, his progress in cultivation was swift as a flash, as natural as breathing, having reached the Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment already.
At his side, Lu Linghe held her own fiercely.
Even though she had begun her path later and mastered fewer arts,
as a cherished daughter of Lu Changsheng, she received frequent guidance from Shariputra along with rare heavenly treasures, building a solid foundation.
She not only attained the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment but wielded top-tier spiritual artifacts like her Black Dragon Spear and Qiankun Ring, with every accessory and garment on her also being spiritual artifacts.
In truth, even a standard late-stage Foundation Establishment expert would struggle to pierce through her array of spiritual defenses.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator opposing her, confronted by this dazzling display of treasures, grew visibly uneasy.
After all, the radiant treasure aura was overwhelmingly bright, marking her unmistakably as the favored child of Changsheng True Master.
Should she suffer even a minor harm, provoking the True Man’s wrath... or irking fellow Lu Family members, survival in Jiang Country would become impossible for him.
Nevertheless, against Lu Linghe’s bold, ferocious fighting style like a wild beast, he proved no equal and was forced to withdraw step by step.
"Fellow young friends, how about we call it a day and stop here?"
By now, the False Core elder understood he couldn’t readily overpower Lu Qingxuan and her allies.
Likewise, the three juniors under his charge couldn’t triumph over Lu Xuanqian, Lu Linghe, and Lu Qingze.
Pressing on like this served no purpose, only inviting shared ruin.
"Call it a day and stop here? Do you think the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family is easy to bully?"
But just then, a clear and melodious voice echoed forth.
There appeared in the distance a breathtaking young woman clad in a pink-white gown, her lovely gaze appraising the fishing rod held by the False Core elder.
Standing next to her was a lofty young man shrouded in crimson radiance.
"Sister!"
Spotting this woman, Lu Linghe cried out in delight, driving her Black Dragon Spear ahead to repel her opponent, tempted to activate the Wind-Fire Wheels and rush to Lu Wangshu.
But mindful of the ongoing fight, she held back, knowing her departure would burden Lu Xuanqian and the others.
"Wangshu."
"Sister Wangshu."
The others, upon noticing Lu Wangshu, greeted her as well, glancing toward Lu Lingxiao close by.
However, Lu Lingxiao’s role as Young City Lord drew too much notice, so with Hong Lian’s aid in hiding him, even Lu Linghe failed to identify her brother beyond Lu Wangshu’s presence.
"So it is the Talisman Fairy. May I ask what the Fairy intends?"
As the offspring of Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue, Lu Wangshu had resided for years in Great Dream Immortal City, overseeing the Lu Family’s [Heavenly Talisman Hall], earning her notable renown.
Even this False Core True Man knew of her, reining in his irritation to address her courteously.
"Naturally, you should hand over all your gains."
While Lu Wangshu felt drawn to the fishing rod magic treasure, in these secret realm expeditions, she strove to avoid burdening the family unnecessarily.
"Does this young friend completely disregard this old man?"
The elder’s face hardened at once.
Even statues of clay harbor fury.
A respected False Core True Man and regional elder like him, honoring the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family and Changsheng True Master, had already extended ample courtesy to Lu Qingxuan, Lu Wangshu, and their group.
Yet this junior, Lu Wangshu, demanded he surrender all his spoils, treating him as if he were nothing!
Unbearable!
Simply outrageous!
Though whispers abounded that the Talisman Fairy had inherited Changsheng True Master’s Talisman Path with remarkable prowess, he refused to yield so readily.
Otherwise, what of his honor?
"In that case, I will take it myself."
