Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1984: 521

"Young friend, impressive skills!"

Right then, the False Core Patriarch shed his initial disdain, as his False Core mana flowed around him like a raging flood. Hovering in the sky, he addressed Lu Lingxiao with a resonant tone.

Having reached such an advanced age and risen to patriarch status, he certainly possessed sharp judgment.

He recognized that this Lu Lingxiao was no ordinary foe and planned to test his abilities against him.

Under these circumstances, only by pleading for mercy and conceding, forfeiting every reward, could the conflict possibly end.

Yet, as a dignified patriarch, yielding and seeking pardon from a mere Foundation Establishment youth would tarnish his clan's honor immensely and invite mockery from all sides. Fighting on was the wiser path!

"Allow this old man to experience your remarkable abilities, young friend!"

As he uttered these words, the False Core Patriarch tapped his storage bag gently, calling forth a tiny blue flag that rotated before him.

Next, he abruptly flung the fishing rod he held, sending it surging toward Lu Lingxiao with tsunami-like power.

In response to this formidable attack, Lu Lingxiao pressed forward instead of pulling back, his gaze igniting with sharp golden radiance fixed on the patriarch, as he swung the Golden Fire Vine Tree into a direct confrontation.

"Boom!!!"

This fishing rod as a magical treasure proved exceptional, seeming feather-light one instant but immensely heavy the next. At times it thundered like surging sea waves, at others it struck like swift lightning, seeking to ensnare Lu Lingxiao.

Lu Lingxiao activated the "Vermilion Bird Sky-Scorching Art," his form darting about like the mythical Vermilion Bird Divine Bird, engulfed in fierce blazes that seared the skies, unleashing unparalleled divine might.

Their clashes erupted like volcanoes and waves pounding the coastline, smashing together and radiating outward without mercy.

Lu Qingxuan, Lu Wangshu, and the rest hastily withdrew several paces, channeling their mana to counter the shockwaves.

As the fight grew fiercer, the False Core Patriarch and Lu Lingxiao resembled an immense blue ocean and a scorching red inferno merging and clashing across the vault of heaven.

Noticing the disturbance, onlookers drew nearer to observe, unaware of such an intense showdown between a False Core Immortal within the Secret Realm.

Still, perceptive cultivators spotted that the red fiery aura lacked Nascent Soul essence, revealing a Foundation Establishment practitioner!

"Could a Foundation Establishment cultivator truly battle a False Core Immortal!?"

These observers felt profound astonishment.

Indeed, across the lands, any Foundation Establishment able to confront a False Core ranked as an elite prodigy.

Even in the dominant Heavenly Sword Sect of Jiang Country, only a handful could manage such a feat at that stage!

Watching the duel unfold drew more cultivators in, prompting Lu Wangshu, Lu Qingxuan, and Qin Yi to unleash their magic power auras as a warning.

This action shocked them further, making clear it was to safeguard Lu Lingxiao and allow a Foundation Establishment to duel a False Core undisturbed.

With time passing, Lu Lingxiao's vigor slowly overpowered the False Core Patriarch's, gaining the upper hand.

Furthermore, the influence of his Son of Heaven Qi Observation Method began to manifest.

His Essence, Qi, and Spirit converged, his presence soaring sharply, battling with greater ferocity, reading his rival's mana currents as if predicting every action, leaving no room for respite!

"This..."

This False Core Patriarch, drawing on his False Core-level mana, resisted defeat for a while, yet grew increasingly shocked and frustrated as the skirmish continued.

As a grand False Core True Man, he too had battled his way through youth, boasting vast combat wisdom and sly tactics.

But now, he found himself utterly dominated by this youngster...

Mana surged throughout his frame, preparing to deploy supreme techniques to turn the tide!

However, just then, Lu Lingxiao grasped the opening.

His eyes gleamed as if rising suns and moons, invoking his innate divine ability [Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation Technique].

This prowess not only revealed foes' vulnerabilities and errors but also disturbed the spiritual links of Heaven and Earth, hindering others' mana circulation, capable even of slaying with mere intent!

Though Lu Lingxiao couldn't slay with a glance, he disrupted and influenced the foe's mana flow.

Once the Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation Technique activated, the False Core Patriarch's techniques broke off abruptly, his mana halting and flowing backward.

In battle among cultivators, even a tiny error can determine winner and loser, particularly when this False Core Patriarch already lagged, caught in a defensive bind.

"Boom!"

Lu Lingxiao unleashed his utmost strength, the Dragon Roar Origin thundering, his drive irresistible, swinging the Golden Fire Vine Tree down upon the False Core Patriarch with devastating might.

This blow instantly crumbled the rival's protective spell shield, while flames swallowed his magical robe.

"Puff!"

Terror twisted the False Core Patriarch's features as he coughed up blood, his form hurtling toward the earth.

"What happened!?"

"How was he abruptly overpowered!?"

The watching cultivators, witnessing this, displayed faces full of confusion and wonder.

Earlier, though the False Core Patriarch had been pressed and losing ground, defeat hadn't come yet.

But being hurled back by Lu Lingxiao's single strike stunned one and all.

Only Lu Wangshu understood fully that Lu Lingxiao had employed the [Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation Technique].

In their previous practice bouts, she had endured much from this formidable ability.

"A Foundation Establishment overcoming a False Core Immortal... from whence arises this supreme prodigy!"

"Crimson glow envelops his body, concealing his features and identity, yet beyond the Four Great Immortal Sects, what power could nurture such a marvel!"

"That little tree he grasps is a wondrous artifact. Possessing such at Foundation Establishment, only Nascent Soul forces could provide that support!"

"Perhaps a scion of some hidden lineage?"

Numerous onlookers stared at Lu Lingxiao's silhouette, murmuring in awe.

A Foundation Establishment daring to challenge a False Core was already incredible.

And triumphing over a False Core True Man at Foundation Establishment was utterly staggering, marking him as an unrivaled genius!

"Hold back, fellow Daoist. We concede and offer all our spoils!"

At that instant, the three companions of the False Core Patriarch called out urgently.

From when Lu Lingxiao began overpowering their leader, they realized defeat was certain.

Should Lu Wangshu, Lu Qingxuan, and Qin Yi enter the fray, their patriarch stood no chance.

Thus, they chose not to cling to pride and resist pointlessly.
