Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1983: 520: Secret Realm Showdown! (3)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Lu Wangshu cast a look toward Lu Lingxiao at his side, tilting his chin upward just a touch to cue him into making his move.
"..."
Though rendered wordless by Lu Wangshu's bold command, Lu Lingxiao had grown used to such behavior after so many years.
Above his head materialized a Vermilion Bird Seal, propelling him forward in the likeness of a majestic Vermilion Bird Divine Bird, launching a powerful assault on the False Core Elder.
"Sister-in-law, Qingxuan, Qingyan... There’s no need for you to act, just watch and plunder the formation."
In that instant, Lu Wangshu sent a voice transmission to Lu Qingxuan and the rest, making it clear they ought to simply spectate the fight.
"Hmm?"
Observing Lu Lingxiao enveloped entirely in crimson clouds, Lu Qingxuan's gaze sharpened, quickly sensing something unusual.
Not just him—Lu Linghe too identified his brother upon noticing the golden radiance in Lu Lingxiao’s eyes and the flames slowly igniting across his frame.
Only Qin Yi appeared a bit dazed, failing to grasp Lu Wangshu’s plan.
Why send a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator like Lu Lingxiao against a False Core Immortal!
Even within the Heavenly Sword Sect, it was rare for Foundation Establishment cultivators to take on False Core opponents.
That said, Lu Wangshu approached her position, extended a palm, and hurled Lu Linghe’s foe through the air, signaling that she should merely observe the clash without interference.
"Alright, alright!"
Fury boiled in the False Core Elder as he watched Lu Lingxiao step up, while Qin Yi, Lu Qingxuan, and the others pulled back to the sidelines to survey the battle.
Becoming aware that Lu Wangshu and his Lu Family juniors before him held no regard for him, this struck as a blatant insult, turning him into mere practice fodder!
Without delay, he resolved to unleash his full might, intent on schooling these young upstarts.
His fishing rod magical treasure radiated spiritual glow, amassing boundless azure luminescence, while the fishing line surged forth toward Lu Lingxiao akin to a raging flood dragon.
Despite being merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Lu Lingxiao's presence matched or even exceeded that of the opposing False Core Elder. Bathed in scorching radiance laced with bolts of lightning, he unleashed a mighty punch.
"Screech!"
A fiery Vermilion Bird Firebird collided with the oncoming flood dragon, unleashing a horrifying wave of mana.
Yet depending solely on the Vermilion Bird Seal left him unable to contend with the elder armed with a magical treasure.
Mana erupted from his form in torrents, golden lights emanating from his Qi Ocean Core, followed by the emergence of a Dark Gold Treasure Tree entwined in flaming vines.
This was truly his magical treasure, the [Golden Fire Vine Tree]!
Seizing the Golden Fire Vine Tree, Lu Lingxiao's aura skyrocketed, and with a swift sweep, his scorching and overbearing qi mechanism shattered the azure flood dragon.
Disregarding the immense, mountain-resembling might projected by the fishing rod, he barreled toward the False Core Elder like a demonic humanoid beast, whipping up fierce winds in his relentless advance while radiating intense Qi and Blood Magical Power.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Treating the Golden Fire Vine Tree as a weapon of golden essence, Lu Lingxiao swung it with ferocity, bolstered by his Foundation Establishment Peak mana and Second-Rank physique.
Suddenly, a blaze of splendid, eye-searing flames overwhelmed the False Core Elder’s vision.
"Crack!"
At that very moment, the elder’s Body-Protecting Magic Barrier trembled violently, its spiritual radiance fading swiftly before dense fissures spread across it, as though on the verge of liquefying.
"This!"
Horror etched the False Core Elder’s features, his expression akin to beholding a specter.
Should it be an assault from a Nascent Soul Immortal or a fellow False Core cultivator, his barrier crumbling would be expected.
Or if struck by a Third Rank attack talisman or an elite talisman treasure, that too would make sense.
But this Lu Lingxiao before him, encircled by red clouds as he was, bore an unmistakably genuine Foundation Establishment Peak magic aura.
A lone Foundation Establishment Cultivator had left his Qi-Blood roiling, his magic barrier fractured, his stance wobbling, sending him hurtling back.
"This, this, this..."
"It’s him!"
Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingyan, Lu Xuanqian, and the others, along with the trio of cultivators accompanying the False Core Elder who witnessed the sight, all displayed profound astonishment, their scalps prickling.
One blow from a Foundation Establishment repulsing a False Core Immortal—that marked a true genius of the era!
Though Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingyan, Lu Xuanqian, and their group ranked among the top talents of their generation, even they were left in awe.
"Has Lingxiao already grown to this point?"
Lu Qingxuan had long identified Lu Lingxiao, with full certainty from his [Golden Fire Vine Tree] magical treasure.
Beholding the other's prowess, realizing how vastly Lu Lingxiao had outstripped him without notice, emotions stirred deeply in his chest.
"Foundation Establishment defies False Core!"
Despite the shock, Lu Xuanqian set Lu Lingxiao as his aspiration.
With his Five Elements Physique, his mother Wang Yanjing had forever demanded he dominate same-rank foes and leap realms in battle.
The reality showed he had not let her down.
Still, the feat of Foundation Establishment clashing with False Core filled him with some doubt.
In the Bi Lake Mountain region, after all, Foundation Establishment figures were revered as forebears, whereas False Core Immortals stood on a loftier plane.
Such notions had subtly shaped his view, making him believe cross-challenging to False Core from Foundation Establishment was an impossible hurdle.
But witnessing Lu Lingxiao's single strike forcing back a False Core, a wave of daring resolve welled up inside him, convinced he too could accomplish it one day—and he would undoubtedly confront a False Core Immortal at Foundation Establishment before pushing toward Core Formation!
"Wangshu, he is?"
Qin Yi spotted Lu Lingxiao’s Golden Fire Vine Tree and placed him, dimly remembering an encounter from the border conflict.
To her surprise, he now stood allied with Lu Wangshu.
"Sister-in-law, you’ll find out later."
A sly curve touched Lu Wangshu’s lips as she grinned playfully.
Nearby, Lu Linghe sought to clarify things for Qin Yi and root for her brother, yet Lu Wangshu silenced her, leaving only muffled sounds.
As the two sisters playfully clashed, Qin Yi found herself wondering if this figure might be Lu Wangshu’s cherished Dao Companion?
Such a prodigy of the age, able to war against a False Core Immortal at Foundation Establishment, would surely suit the Lu Family’s Mingyue well.
