Chapter 432: What’s wrong with my Lu family producing a few people with great luck?
“Since you know our brothers’ names, we’ll give you a chance now. Quickly roll back to Azure Lake Mountain! The affairs of the merchant guild are not something your Lu family can interfere with!”
The youth holding the feather fan said in a cold voice, the feather fan in his hand surrounded by a blue aura.
Although the four of them were arrogant, they also saw that Lu Pingan was not simple after a brief exchange just now, and they were not completely confident in killing him.
Moreover, the Lu family of Azure Lake Mountain is famous for its talisman techniques.
No one knows how many talismans the Lu family disciples carry, so they are still somewhat cautious.
Therefore, this trip will simply drive the Lu family back to their one-third acre of land in Azure Lake Mountain.
After all, in their opinion, Azure Lake Mountain has been secretly accumulating strength and cultivating so many Foundation Establishment cultivators in recent years, which has already exhausted its resources.
As long as the family cannot support these Foundation Establishment cultivators, it will soon decline from prosperity.
“The Sima family is so domineering!”
“Damn it, if our family retreats like this, the merchant guild business will be completely ruined.”
The Lu family disciples beside the caravan were all angry when they heard this, feeling that the Sima family was too domineering, and then looked at Lu Pingan’s stalwart figure.
Now they can only hope that their eldest brother and uncle can defeat the four.
“Ruyi, Lingxiao, Fellow Daoist Zhou, be careful.”
Lu Pingan didn’t say much. The Black Dragon Halberd appeared in his hand, and his burly and majestic body strode out, heading towards the four people in front of him.
“How dare you!”
“Arrogant!”
“You’re simply courting death!”
The Sima Four Heroes looked at Lu Pingan charging towards the four of them alone, their expressions turning cold and stern.
In their opinion, Lu Pingan’s strength was indeed extraordinary.
But challenging the four of them alone was simply blatant contempt.
Completely disregarding their four brothers.
“Buzz!”
Sima Bo snorted coldly, and the earthy yellow small mountain suspended above his head instantly enlarged, like a Xuanhuang mountain range stretching between heaven and earth, suppressing Lu Pingan.
“Rumble!”
The Xuanhuang Mountain made the world seem a bit heavier.
Invisible pressure, bit by bit, permeated this world, making Lu Lingxiao, Lu Ruyi, and Zhou Datong not far away feel somewhat unstable.
The caravan’s pack beasts, Lu family disciples, and warriors also turned pale, their blood churning, and they found it difficult to breathe under this invisible pressure.
“Buzz buzz buzz——”
At this moment, beams of light shot up into the sky from the cargo boxes of the caravan, condensing into an invisible light curtain, shrouding the caravan.
“Formation mage.”
Sima Shu, holding the formation plate, looked at a carriage in the caravan, his eyes narrowed slightly.
“Ling Zixiao, the mistress of the Lu family in Azure Lake Mountain, is indeed a grandmaster of formations.”
“Third brother, it seems that the formation you set up was detected by this woman.”
“Madam Lu hasn’t come forward yet, could it be that there’s something she can’t show people?”
Sima Zhong and Sima Ji also looked towards the carriage, seemingly wanting to see Ling Zixiao inside through the carriage.
“Pingan, no need to waste time with them, let’s make a quick decision.”
At this time, an elegant and melodious voice came from inside the carriage.
The voice was very calm, but it clearly reached everyone’s ears.
No need to waste time?
Make a quick decision?
“Are all of you from the Lu family of Azure Lake Mountain so arrogant!”
“Even if Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge were here, they wouldn’t dare to speak to our brothers like this!”
The Sima Four Heroes looked cold, the eldest, Sima Bo, his whole body’s Qi and blood surging, exuding a physique like a demon beast, and said in a deep voice.
He was also a body cultivator.
“You are not worthy to call my father and aunt by their names!”
Lu Pingan’s eyes also flashed with a bit of coldness when he heard this.
The four people in front of him were too arrogant.
Not only did they attack to kill upon meeting, almost killing the disciples of his caravan, but now they even insulted his father and aunt.
His posture was majestic, wearing silver armor, his eyes filled with wind and thunder, and every move he made stirred up wind and thunder, like a Thunder God of War.
“Wind and Thunder—Mountain Split!”
Lu Pingan threw out the Black Dragon Halberd, his right arm rose, his Qi and blood surged, gathering endless wind and thunder, and a brilliant giant axe seemed to form above his head.
“Since you are asking for death, our four brothers will fulfill you!”
Sima Bo’s strong body had a Xuanhuang luster flowing, giving people a sense of heaviness like a mountain, and his movements seemed to merge with the Xuanhuang Mountain range stretching between heaven and earth.
He was indeed extraordinary, his body refinement had already entered the late stage of the second level, and he also had the cultivation of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.
If Lu Pingan’s Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique had not broken through the eighth level, he might not have been able to suppress him.
Facing their four brothers, he would definitely suffer a loss.
But at this time, Lu Pingan did not hold back, and directly blasted out with his quasi-third-level physique.
“Boom——”
The wind and thunder-entwined brilliant giant axe and the Xuanhuang Mountain collided fiercely, immediately erupting with a terrifying power that shook the heavens and the earth.
The violent and domineering endless divine power erupted, seeming to destroy everything along the way, causing the Xuanhuang Mountain range stretching across the sky to tremble constantly, and cracks almost appeared.
“Not good! Third brother, fourth brother, attack!”
Sima Zhong, holding the feather fan, changed his expression and immediately realized that something was wrong.
His eldest brother’s fist was actually not a match for Lu Pingan in front of him.
He was retreating steadily under Lu Pingan’s fist.
He didn’t dare to think too much, he suddenly fanned the feather fan in his hand, and the blue wind surrounding it instantly blew towards Lu Pingan.
“Clang clang clang——”
This blue wind was a kind of Gang wind, like a steel blade, hitting Lu Pingan’s body, making bursts of metallic sounds.
“Swish swish swish——”
Sima Ji, holding the bow and arrow next to him, pulled the bowstring, and golden arrows with unparalleled sharpness shot out, piercing through the void and shooting towards Lu Pingan with murderous intent.
As for Sima Shu, holding the compass, his eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at the caravan below, and sacrificed a magic bead, wanting to break Ling Zixiao’s formation.
As a formation mage, he knew that such a caravan formation completely relied on spirit stones for support, its power was limited, and it could not last long.
Now that they had made a move, they would naturally not hold back.
These four brothers were all extraordinary in strength, each with their own strengths, and even ordinary Foundation Establishment peaks would die in their hands.
“Big brother!”
Lu Lingxiao and Lu Ruyi did not retreat when they saw this scene.
Although it was difficult for them to help much with their strength.
But in this situation, it was impossible to watch their eldest brother being besieged by four people.
“Screech!”
Lu Lingxiao made hand seals with both hands, and the Annihilation Flame in front of him burned fiercely, turning into black firebirds and killing towards the golden arrows.
Lu Ruyi then sacrificed her flying sword and killed towards Sima Shu, who was holding the formation plate.
The other party was a formation mage, and now wanted to break the formation, so she had to interfere with him.
Zhou Datong was completely numb when he saw this scene.
He didn’t expect that he would encounter the famous Sima Four Heroes just after signing a blood contract with the Lu family.
He felt that it was not right to take action in the current situation, and it was not right not to take action.
After all, if he took action, he would probably be killed by the Sima Four Heroes later.
But if he didn’t take action, his blood contract was still in Ling Zixiao’s hands.
“Damn it, why was I so greedy back then!”
Zhou Datong kept crying out in his heart, but he still chose to take action, sacrificing his flying sword, which bloomed with brilliant light, and killed towards Sima Ji.
“How dare a few trash fish intervene!”
Sima Zhong looked coldly at the three of them, the five-colored glow flowed on the feather fan in his hand, forming five-colored Gang winds, tearing the air and directly killing the three of them.
Foundation Establishment cultivators like Lu Ruyi, Lu Lingxiao, and Zhou Datong were completely disregarded by their Sima Four Heroes.
They were usually small cultivators who could be killed at will.
“Pingan, don’t be distracted, kill the person holding the formation plate first.”
At this time, Ling Zixiao’s calm and indifferent voice rang out from the carriage, seeing that the three of them would still use the formation to escape.
“Buzz buzz buzz——”
Sima Shu, holding the formation plate, felt chills all over his body when he heard this.
Immediately afterwards, a small bell frantically vibrated in his mind, indicating that a divine sense attack was attacking his divine soul.
“Core Formation divine sense, this… how is this possible!”
Sima Shu looked terrified.
The small bell in his mind was a divine sense secret treasure, which could guard his mind and resist divine sense attacks.
But at this time, this divine sense had exceeded the limit of his secret treasure’s endurance.
Instantly, Sima Shu’s mind ached, and his mind was in a trance.
“Pfft!”
Lu Pingan’s posture was majestic, glowing with golden light, directly ignoring Sima Zhong’s five-colored Gang wind, standing in it, and directly punched Sima Shu, blasting his body apart and turning him into a pile of bloody mud.
Even if Sima Shu was wearing a magic robe and had a spiritual weapon automatically protecting him, in this moment of trance, all defenses and body-protecting Qi shields were shattered under Lu Pingan’s golden fist.
“Third brother, third brother!”
Sima Zhong and Sima Ji were aghast at this scene, finding it utterly unbelievable.
But at this moment, both were scared witless, with no desire to fight. The brothers split up and fled in different directions.
They knew that if they tried to escape together, it might be even more dangerous.
“Ping’an, the one holding the feather fan.”
The newest chapters are available on 69shu吧!
“Xiao’er, the one holding the bow and arrow.”
From inside the carriage, Ling Zixiao continued to speak.
Both men, who had already transformed into streaks of light to escape, suffered mental shocks and suddenly stiffened.
“Pfft!”
Lu Ping’an soared out, his fist radiating golden light, blasting Sima Zhong’s body into pieces.
Lu Lingxiao then unleashed the Destruction Flame towards Sima Ji.
Even though Sima Ji was in excruciating mental pain and his mind was reeling, he still managed to form a protective aura around himself, resisting Lu Lingxiao’s Destruction Flame.
“Boom!”
Lu Lingxiao, imitating his elder brother, circulated his blood essence, his body glowing with precious light, and unleashed a fierce punch.
However, this punch only sent Sima Ji flying backward, crashing to the ground, vomiting blood, but he didn’t die.
Sima Ji, through this attack, regained some clarity from the agonizing mental pain, glaring at Lu Lingxiao with a ferocious expression.
But the next moment.
“Pfft!”
Lu Ping’an hurled the Black Dragon Halberd over, like a ferocious black dragon descending from the sky, piercing straight through Sima Ji’s chest, pinning him to death.
“Lingxiao, you can ask your father for guidance on how to combine your Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire with the Hundred Refinements Body Technique.”
Lu Ping’an looked at his younger brother beside him, patting him on the shoulder as he spoke.
He still clearly remembered how, after the Purple Nether Secret Realm ended, Old Ancestor Xu came to hunt down him and his brother Lu Quanzhen.
His father faced Old Ancestor Xu, his body burning with a purplish-red Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire, and then crushed the opponent with a single punch.
Although his younger brother Lu Lingxiao’s Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire wasn’t as astonishing as their father’s,
given time to grow, it might not be impossible to achieve the same.
“Yes, Big Brother.”
Through these days of interaction, Lu Lingxiao had developed admiration for this elder brother.
He also recognized the dominance of body cultivation and the Hundred Refinements Body Technique through him.
Ordinary cultivators, when facing techniques of the same level, would always use robes and magical artifacts to block the attacks.
But his elder brother had just directly ignored the opponent’s gale with his physical body, even directly withstanding the opponent’s spiritual artifact arrows.
Such a fierce fighting style meant that cultivators of the same level, unless they ganged up or had some kind of extraordinary treasure, simply couldn’t get a foothold.
“This, this, this…”
Zhou Datong, seeing Lu Ping’an before him, who was like a god or demon, felt his throat go dry and his heart tremble.
He knew that the Sima Four Heroes were existences he could only look up to in normal times.
But such renowned figures were easily killed by this eldest son of the Lu family.
Once this news spread, it would likely shock the entire Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world!
Because this was no longer Foundation Establishment combat power!
“This eldest young master of the Lu family is usually quite easy to talk to. He’s in charge of the Lu family’s business association. If I do my job well, maybe I can really gain my freedom, or even a Second-Order Breakthrough Pill.”
At this moment, Zhou Datong felt a bit of submission in his heart, feeling that serving the Lu family wasn’t bad either.
“Is this Big Brother’s strength!”
“With Big Brother here, what is there to fear on the journey ahead!”
The other Lu family disciples escorting the caravan also broke free from their previous fear, each one extremely excited.
Although they hadn’t heard of any Sima Four Heroes,
the oppressive aura they had just felt was the most terrifying they had ever encountered.
Just a wisp of aura had caused their blood to churn and made it difficult for them to breathe.
But these existences were all crushed to death by their own Big Brother and Great-Uncle, so what was there to fear on the journey ahead.
“Ping’an, thank you for your hard work.”
At this time, Ling Zixiao glanced at the Thousand-Faced Fox puppet beside her, and walked out of the carriage with her daughter Lu Linghe, towards the eldest son of the Lu family.
Even though she already knew the capabilities of the Thousand-Faced Fox puppet, the effect of this attempt was still beyond her expectations.
“It’s all thanks to Auntie.”
Lu Ping’an knew that Ling Zixiao had taken action just now.
Otherwise, even if he could win, he wouldn’t have been able to kill all four of them.
It could be said that the four people just now were the strongest opponents he had encountered since his debut.
Not only were they all highly skilled, but their methods complemented each other.
“Now that the beasts of burden are all frightened and unable to continue on their way, Ping’an, you should also rest well, recover your state, and wait for the next battle.”
Ling Zixiao, wearing a lake-blue palace dress, with a dignified and elegant bearing, said with a light smile.
“The next battle?”
Lu Lingxiao and Lu Ruyi beside her were both stunned when they heard this, somewhat surprised.
“These four are the family seeds of this generation of the Sima family.”
“It is rumored that the four of them once obtained a fortuitous encounter, cultivating techniques that can complement each other when breaking through. Even if they don’t break through to Core Formation together, they also have hope of breaking through to False Core.”
“Now that the four of them are dead, the Sima family’s old ancestor will definitely not sit still and will come to seek revenge.”
Ling Zixiao smiled slightly, saying casually.
“False Core Old Ancestor!”
“False Core True Person!”
The few people beside her were all shocked when they heard this.
Even Lu Ping’an’s heart skipped a beat.
Although his Hundred Refinements Body Technique had broken through to the eighth level, it was only recently that he had broken through, and he had not yet cultivated divine powers.
If he were to encounter a False Core True Person, the outcome would be difficult to predict.
“Don’t worry, unless two False Core experts from the Sima family come, or they bring their clan-suppressing Black Tortoise, there’s no need to worry.”
“It’s also a good opportunity to use this battle to establish the reputation of our Azure Lake Mountain, so that people won’t keep coming to make trouble.”
Ling Zixiao said softly.
Although she usually didn’t care about family affairs, she had spent time understanding the situation of these forces in the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world, especially the family forces in the Qingyun Territory.
After speaking, she looked at Lu Ping’an and continued: “It’s just that after this battle, your every move, Ping’an, will be noticed by others.”
“Ping’an will listen to Auntie’s arrangements.”
Lu Ping’an cupped his hands and said.
His father had told him on this caravan that if there was anything he was unsure about, he could ask Auntie Ling.
So, upon hearing the other party’s words, he did not raise any questions and chose to believe her.
“Mother, wouldn’t this be too dangerous? Didn’t Father say that harmony is to be valued?”
Lu Lingxiao spoke out.
Although he trusted his mother,
this was, after all, a False Core True Person, which seemed too risky in his opinion.
Ling Zixiao looked at her son and said: “There’s nothing wrong with valuing harmony, but if you retreat too much, it will only appear weak and easily bullied, leading people to take an inch after getting a foot.”
“Our family must now show some strength in order for the business association to gain a foothold.”
“Moreover, people have already been killed, and if we return to Azure Lake Mountain now, the Sima family will still come looking for Azure Lake Mountain.”
“Since that’s the case, it’s better to settle the grievances directly here.”
“This battle is also to tell the other forces that our Azure Lake Mountain doesn’t cause trouble, but we’re not afraid of it either. If anyone dares to cause trouble for our family, they should all weigh their options.”
“Besides, the six False Core families have always been fighting openly and secretly. The Jin family’s relationship with our family is already not good. If we offend the Sima family again, it’s likely that the other families will be very happy to befriend our family.”
“Some family forces around the Sima family will also actively befriend our family and cooperate with us.”
Ling Zixiao patiently explained to her son: “As for the Sima family’s anger, there’s no need to care about it.”
Although she agreed with her husband’s code of conduct,
in her opinion, sometimes it was still necessary to be stronger.
Although it was easy to attract trouble and be targeted, it could also save a lot of trouble.
Moreover, the events in Red Leaf Valley City, coupled with the continuous Foundation Establishment of the children in the family, meant that their family’s situation simply couldn’t be concealed.
Rather than hiding it, it was better to openly expose some information in other people’s sight.
If Lu Ping’an revealed his False Core strength, their family would be completely ranked among the False Core families.
In that case, wouldn’t it be normal for the family to have more Foundation Establishment cultivators?
As for Lu Ping’an’s young age and quasi-Third Order body refinement, False Core level combat power… Although this matter was exaggerated and extremely shocking.
But looking at the entire cultivation world, in the eyes of Core Formation great cultivators and Nascent Soul True Monarchs, it was not that exaggerated.
After all, the cultivation world was full of countless opportunities and miracles.
So many people with great fortune obtained opportunities and rose strongly, so why couldn’t the Lu family of Azure Lake Mountain produce a few people with great fortune?
It was precisely because Lu Ping’an had obtained great opportunities and great fortune that he had such body refinement strength at a young age.
It was also because of these opportunities and adventures that so many Foundation Establishment cultivators could emerge from Azure Lake Mountain!
As long as it didn’t attract the attention of Nascent Soul True Monarchs, these False Core families, even Core Formation aristocratic families, were just sharpening stones for their children’s growth.
“Child understands.”
Lu Lingxiao nodded thoughtfully.
His mother had taught him many principles of dealing with people in his early years.
But since he had been in Azure Lake Mountain, he felt that many of his mother’s words and principles contradicted some of the principles he had heard.
Now, on this trip, he was gradually understanding the meaning of some of his mother’s words.
“The harvest from this trip is not bad. Xiaohe, go clean up with your Big Brother and Sister Ruyi.”
Ling Zixiao smiled at her daughter.
The battle was bloody and brutal, and she didn’t want her daughter to be too exposed to it.
But this kind of cleaning up of spoils was her daughter’s favorite.
Even if she couldn’t get much, she could be happy for a long time just by going through the process.
“Big Bro!”
Lu Linghe immediately looked at Lu Ping’an with her eyes sparkling.
“Xiaohe, you and Ruyi can clean up, Big Brother will rest for a while.”
Lu Ping’an patted her little head, grinning.
He was going to face a False Core True Person later, so he planned to restore his state to its peak as soon as possible.
Although the battle just now was only a few rounds, the consumption was not small.
Seeing her daughter happily cleaning up the harvest with Lu Ruyi, Ling Zixiao also set up formations around the area with her son Lu Lingxiao, teaching him about formations.
