Chapter 435: Lu Ping’an fights against Sima Laozu!
“Lu Changsheng, get out here!”
Old Ancestor Sima, clad in a black robe, wore a stern expression. Without even glancing at Ling Zixiao, he directly raised his hand, and the spiritual pressure of a pseudo-Dan cultivator spread out, as he sent a palm strike towards the merchant caravan.
“Boom!”
A casual strike from a Pseudo-Dan True Person unleashed magical power like a mountain torrent, forming the outline of a palm several yards in size.
“Hmph!”
Not far away, Lu Pingan, with his tall and upright figure, coldly snorted. Leaving behind an afterimage in his original spot, he threw a fist gleaming with golden light, shattering Old Ancestor Sima’s attack.
Lu Pingan knew that there was no need for idle talk at this moment.
After breaking the attack, his entire being shot out, closing in on Old Ancestor Sima. His golden fist, crackling with violent wind and thunder, continued to strike.
“Hmm!?”
“Not good!”
Old Ancestor Sima and the Third Elder of the Sima family, who was traveling with him, were both startled, not expecting Lu Pingan to be so fierce.
However, Old Ancestor Sima was, after all, a Pseudo-Dan True Person, and quite extraordinary. The moment Lu Pingan attacked, he opened his mouth and spat out something.
A black light flew out, transforming into a simple, ancient ruler of black color, exuding the aura of a magical treasure.
“Bang!!!!”
Lu Pingan’s golden fist directly slammed into the black ruler, creating a violent sound. The force of the magical power swept out in all directions like a landslide and tsunami.
“Screech!”
The Blackscale Eagle beneath Old Ancestor Sima’s feet immediately let out a screech, its wings spreading out.
If it weren’t for Old Ancestor Sima suppressing it, it would have taken flight in fright at this moment.
Ling Zixiao, not far away, formed hand seals, causing a screen of azure light to form in front, blocking the aftershock.
“So, this is a Pseudo-Dan True Person…”
“Big Brother is actually fighting a Pseudo-Dan True Person.”
Lu Ruyi, Lu Lingxiao, Zhou Datong, and the others, upon seeing this scene, were all horrified and somewhat dazed.
Even though they knew that Lu Pingan’s battle prowess was extraordinary, they were still shocked to see Lu Pingan directly confronting Old Ancestor Sima.
“Big Bro, go!”
Lu Linghe, not far away, was not affected by the atmosphere at all, having no concept of a Pseudo-Dan True Person, and shouted towards Lu Pingan while clenching her small fists.
“Who are you?”
The black ruler in front of Old Ancestor Sima flowed with black light, exuding a heavy, mountain-like, vast aura.
After a simple exchange, he could tell that Lu Pingan was not simple.
Such a physique was likely a quasi-Tier 3 body refiner.
If he didn’t have a magical treasure to protect him, he would likely be seriously injured by such a punch.
“Bihu Mountain, Lu Pingan.”
Lu Pingan’s face was firm and angular as he said in a deep voice.
As he spoke, his fists gleamed with a brilliant golden light, continuing to strike.
Each punch was incredibly powerful, like a mountain roaring and a sea surging, layering wind and thunder force.
“Lu Pingan?”
Old Ancestor Sima rarely paid attention to matters and had never heard of Lu Pingan’s name, not knowing when Bihu Mountain had produced such a figure.
“Lu Pingan, you are Lu Changsheng’s eldest son, Lu Pingan! How could you have such strength!?”
Sima Tai, who knew Lu Pingan, heard this and immediately exclaimed loudly.
Rumors had it that this eldest son of the Lu family was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but due to his Tier 2 intermediate body refinement, his battle prowess was extraordinary.
But now, he was actually using his physique to directly contend with his own Old Ancestor’s magical treasure.
Such body refinement, even if it hadn’t reached quasi-Tier 3, was at least at the peak of Tier 2, right!?
“Screech—”
The Blackscale Eagle beneath them let out another mournful cry under such power.
This battle was completely using its body as a battlefield.
Although it was extraordinary, being a Tier 2 late-stage demon beast, it was difficult to withstand the aftershocks of the battle at such close range.
“Chī!”
Seeing this, Old Ancestor Sima formed a hand seal with one hand, and the black ruler in front of him spun incessantly, its black light flowing, bursting with a terrifying aura like an abyss, and then struck towards Lu Pingan.
“Boom!”
Although this ruler looked small and exquisite, a single strike was enough to split mountains and overturn seas.
“Peng—”
At this moment, Lu Pingan’s physique also fully recovered, his towering body rising a few inches, his qi and blood surging like a rushing river, roaring incessantly, and rolling wolf smoke of qi and blood soared straight into the sky above his head.
The muscles of his right arm were like dragons and snakes rising from the land, accompanied by endless, surging, violent power, striking out.
“Boom boom boom!”
The mountain-collapsing, tsunami-like golden light collided and erupted with the abyss-like black divine light, causing this world to seem to explode.
“So, this is a Pseudo-Dan level battle…”
Even across the formation, Lu Ruyi, Lu Lingxiao, and the others were horrified.
“This Lu family’s eldest son actually possesses Pseudo-Dan battle prowess. If this battle ends, I’m afraid that among the six great Pseudo-Dan families in the Qingyun Region, there will be one more Bihu Mountain Lu family.”
Zhou Datong’s throat was dry, and he was grateful that this eldest son had a generous personality. Otherwise, if the other party wanted to kill, he would have been gone with a single punch back then.
“So, this is Pingan’s battle prowess… No wonder Lang Jun said that with Pingan here, nothing would happen.”
Ling Zixiao looked at the two fighting, and a few smiles appeared on her beautiful face.
She had previously worried that Lu Pingan would be too far behind when facing a veteran Pseudo-Dan like the Sima family.
However, Old Ancestor Sima had a magical treasure to protect him, so even if Lu Pingan seized the initiative, he was still no match for Old Ancestor Sima.
Under the endless, seemingly ever-changing, terrifying power of the black light, Lu Pingan took several steps back.
“You guys retreat!”
Old Ancestor Sima also looked solemn and said to Sima Tai next to him, telling him to take the Blackscale Eagle aside to provide support.
Otherwise, in a fight between the two, he would have to divide his attention to protect one person and one beast.
“Is it you who killed my Sima family’s pride?”
Old Ancestor Sima looked at Lu Pingan with deep and awe-inspiring eyes.
With such a commotion, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge had not yet appeared, and he also realized that Sima Bo and the other four were likely killed by Lu Pingan in front of him.
Lu Pingan did not speak.
The qi and blood in his body surged and roared, his internal organs chiming rhythmically, and his heart beat like a demon drumming, ‘dong dong dong’, mobilizing the pseudo-divine power condensed by the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art to bring his physique to an extreme.
Otherwise, in his current state, he knew that he had no chance of defeating Old Ancestor Sima.
“What? Your Sima family sent people to intercept my Lu family’s caravan. My Bihu Mountain has not yet sought an explanation from your Sima family, and you still want to question us?”
Ling Zixiao spoke from the side, her calm and indifferent voice carrying an indescribable majesty, not losing out in the slightest when facing this Pseudo-Dan True Person.
As she spoke, she held a glowing array disk in one hand and formed hand seals with the other.
“Shua shua shua—”
Runes emerged from the ground of the formation, arranged in all directions, up and down, their qi intermingling to form a formation.
In his early years, she spent a lot of time and energy studying the art of rune arrays and combined the runes with her own formations.
This time, guessing that the Sima family would send a Pseudo-Dan Old Ancestor, she hid some of the runes in the underground formation in advance when setting up the formation, so as not to be wary of the other party when offering the runes.
“Rune array!?”
“Lu Changsheng’s rune array technique!”
Old Ancestor Sima and Sima Tai were both startled when they saw the runes all over the sky.
After all, the art of rune arrays was quite famous in the cultivation world.
And Bihu Mountain also made a name for itself with its rune array skills.
Now seeing Ling Zixiao use such methods, the two were naturally a little surprised.
“Rune array…”
Lu Lingxiao had heard his mother talk about rune arrays before and guessed that his mother would know about this.
“Does Auntie also know rune arrays?”
Lu Ruyi was a little surprised, not knowing that this auntie also knew her father’s rune array skills.
“Wind and Fire Sky Curtain Great Array!”
Ling Zixiao’s mind moved, and three hundred and sixty-five runes formed an array, with wind and fire surging, covering the sky in all directions, enveloping Lu Pingan, Old Ancestor Sima, Sima Tai, and the Blackscale Eagle.
“It seems that you relied on such means to kill my family’s pride. In that case, go to hell, old man!”
“Third, attack!”
Seeing this situation, Old Ancestor Sima was not afraid at all.
The art of rune arrays was indeed amazing.
But he, Sima Tong, had come to this day, and he was not a pushover.
What’s more, besides him, there was also Sima Tai, who was at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, and the Blackscale Eagle, a Tier 2 late-stage spirit beast.
“Mountain Shaking Fist—Thunderbolt!”
Seeing that the rune array was completed, Lu Pingan did not hesitate at all. Silver armor appeared on his body, and his fists burst out with a brilliant golden light, like thunderbolts, killing towards Old Ancestor Sima.
Ling Zixiao had discussed this battle with him a long time ago.
Now that the rune array was completed, sealing off the world, the battle between the two was an advantage for him.
“Third, you and Black Shadow break the formation!”
Old Ancestor Sima said, forming hand seals, and the black ruler in front of him flowed with radiant light. One by one, complex runes appeared on it, emitting a vast power, and struck towards Lu Pingan.
At the same time, a cyan alms bowl appeared in his storage ring, hovering above his head, flowing with wisps of aura, like a turtle and snake coiled around it, protecting his body.
“Yes, Second Uncle!”
Sima Tai patted his lower abdomen, and a rhombus-shaped spiritual weapon appeared, and he also offered a purple mirror.
This mirror had the effect of seeing through illusions, and he prepared to use this method to find the weak points of the rune array, so as to break the runes.
“Still want to break the formation?”
Ling Zixiao’s beautiful eyes were clear and bright, and her dignified and elegant figure now had a bit more of a majestic appearance.
In an instant, the runes trembled, causing the wind and fire to surge, like wind and fire dragons, killing towards Sima Tai and the Blackscale Eagle, baring their fangs and claws, which was very terrifying.
“Damn it, why do everyone in Bihu Mountain have so many Tier 2 runes in their hands!”
Sima Tai continued to shine through the purple mirror and found that the quality of these runes of Ling Zixiao was very high, with nearly a hundred Tier 2 runes.
Such qi intermingling led to invincibility, and he simply could not break it.
“Third, hold on first, her runes won’t last long.”
Seeing this, Old Ancestor Sima took a big hand and took the Blackscale Eagle back into the spirit pet bag, and said to Sima Tai.
He also realized that the power of this rune array was not simple.
“But relying on external objects, I want to see how many runes you have!”
Old Ancestor Sima glanced at Ling Zixiao and snorted coldly.
Then he continued to look at Lu Pingan and said, “If you have a magical treasure, it would be a little difficult for this old man to kill you today.”
“But with bare hands, relying only on your physical body, you want to fight against this old man’s magic treasure, you are simply asking for death!”
As he spoke, the Pingtian Ruler flashed with spiritual light, its power surging, and continued to smash towards Lu Pingan.
At the same time, his hands continued to form hand seals, and rays of awe-inspiring black light killed towards Lu Pingan.
“Mountain Opening, River Turning, Wind and Thunder, Thunderbolt!”
Lu Pingan’s expression remained unchanged, his spine undulating like a blue dragon, his body glowing, and every cell erupting with a violent aura, causing his veins to burst.
This was the first time he had fought so hard, and he was also verifying his strength through this battle.
“Boom boom boom!”
Lu Pingan’s fists and feet waved, and a simple move was like thousands of troops attacking together.
But no matter how fierce his attacks were, Sima Patriarch’s Leveling Ruler was like an ancient sacred mountain, blocking his path and making it difficult to overcome.
However, facing Lu Ping’an’s attacks, Sima Patriarch was also shocked.
He couldn’t understand what kind of body refining technique the other party cultivated, which was so overbearing.
Every move and stance seemed to possess some of the power of a magical treasure.
“This movement is so amazing.”
“The black scaled eagle just now seemed to be heading towards the Lu family caravan?”
“Could it be that this black scaled eagle is really the Sima family’s black scaled eagle, going to intercept the Lu family caravan?”
“Wasn’t it said some time ago that the Sima Four Heroes were preparing to attack Emerald Lake Mountain? Could it be that the Sima Four Heroes failed to intercept them?”
“This kind of movement feels like it has exceeded the battle of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.”
At the same time, near Nine Lien Mountain, many forces noticed the location where Sima Patriarch landed, and looking at the violent movement coming from afar, they wondered what was going on.
As the battle continued for a long time, some cultivators couldn’t resist their curiosity and cautiously approached, wanting to see what was going on.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
“A talisman formation, Ling Zixiao, the mistress of the Lu family, actually understands the art of talisman formations.”
“Who is fighting in this talisman formation? It’s so amazing!”
“Hmm, this is the Third Elder of the Sima family, Sima Tai, who are these two people?”
“The one wearing silver armor is Lu Ping’an of Emerald Lake Mountain. Isn’t he in the middle stage of Second Order body refining? Something seems a little off with this situation.”
“Who is the old man fighting with him?”
Some cultivators came to a place several miles away from the Lu family caravan’s station, watching the battle from afar, and were very shocked.
Seeing this, Lu Ruyi and Zhou Datong immediately soared into the sky, guarding both sides, so as to prevent any cultivators from secretly approaching.
Lu Lingxiao guarded his mother’s side.
Ling Zixiao was casting a talisman formation, and if someone approached to attack, there would also be danger.
However, only Ling Zixiao knew that a charming woman was sitting in her carriage.
As long as Lu Ping’an was in danger, the Thousand-Faced Fox Puppet would immediately take action.
“Boom boom boom—”
Within the talisman formation, the roar was continuous.
Lu Ping’an and Sima Patriarch constantly bombarded each other.
When Lu Ping’an was at a disadvantage, Ling Zixiao would use the talisman formation to help Lu Ping’an reduce the pressure.
“Damn talisman formation!”
Sima Patriarch was very aggrieved in the fight.
If he fought Lu Ping’an one-on-one, he was confident that he could kill Lu Ping’an.
But as he fought, a ball of Gang wind and thunder fire bombarded him, making him feel extremely aggrieved.
He looked at Sima Tai.
Seeing that the other party was covering himself with a bronze bell, avoiding the talisman formation’s offensive, he felt that he was letting him down.
“Third, take action!”
He shouted loudly, signaling Sima Tai to help him share some of the pressure.
As long as Sima Tai could withstand most of the talisman formation’s offensive and consume the talisman formation, he would be confident in killing Lu Ping’an.
“Yes, Second Uncle.”
Sima Tai really wanted to refuse, indicating not to embarrass himself.
But since his ancestor had spoken, he didn’t dare not respond.
Immediately, he pinched his fingers, his mana surged, suspended the bronze bell above his head, and drove his natal spiritual weapon towards Lu Ping’an.
“Dare to show your head, courting death.”
Seeing this, Ling Zixiao snorted coldly and pinched her fingers.
In an instant, within the talisman formation, wind and fire swept through, vines grew wildly, and frost descended, killing towards Sima Tai.
“Ah, Second Uncle, save me!”
Sima Tai hurriedly urged the bronze bell to the extreme, and wisps of gray air wrapped him up.
But even so, he still felt hot and cold all over, and vines were binding his legs.
“Damn it.”
Seeing this, Sima Patriarch could only be distracted and cast a spell to resolve the talisman formation’s offensive for Sima Tai.
However, at this moment, Lu Ping’an seized the opportunity, and his golden and thunderous fists suddenly drew countless afterimages, bombarding the Leveling Ruler.
“Boom boom boom—”
The fist strength that seemed to destroy the heavens and the earth caused this magic weapon to tremble, causing Sima Patriarch’s Pseudo-Core True Person’s face to turn pale, and he hurriedly urged his natal magic weapon with all his strength.
“How many talismans does this woman have in her hand?”
Seeing the talismans that Ling Zixiao supplemented from time to time, Sima Patriarch also realized that it would be difficult for him to hold on until the talismans were exhausted.
If Ling Zixiao had a large number of talismans in her hand, then he might be exhausted to death here today.
“Break the formation, go!”
He immediately made up his mind, preparing to break the formation with Sima Tai and escape.
“Ping’an.”
Ling Zixiao instantly saw his intention and reminded Lu Ping’an.
Lu Ping’an’s figure was like a dragon, and there were many damages on the silver armor on his body.
But his muscles were still shining brightly, as if cast in gold, and a black dragon phantom was looming around him.
At this moment, his Black Dragon Codex was running to the extreme with the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, causing the Black Dragon Dao Foundation and Foundation Establishment mana to surge, and he vaguely sensed the opportunity to break through from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
“Fellow Daoists, please stop, this old man has something important to discuss.”
Looking at Lu Ping’an, who was like a God of War, brave and unstoppable, Sima Patriarch decided to follow his heart.
Otherwise, if he continued to fight like this, even if he could break through the talisman formation and escape, he would be seriously injured and pay the price.
“This Pseudo-Core Ancestor, is he admitting defeat?”
Hearing this, Lu Ruyi, Zhou Datong and others looked at Sima Patriarch in the talisman formation with a dazed expression, thinking they had heard it wrong.
After all, this was a Pseudo-Core Ancestor.
Even if they knew that their eldest brother’s combat power was amazing and saw their aunt set up a formation, they still couldn’t believe it.
“Have something important to talk about?”
Hearing this, Ling Zixiao’s eyes were cold, and she sneered.
Her hands kept moving, and talismans were integrated into the talisman formation, continuing to bombard Sima Patriarch.
“Bitch, you are going too far!”
Sima Patriarch was furious.
He, a dignified Pseudo-Core Ancestor, was willing to bow his head and give a step down, but Ling Zixiao, a small Foundation Establishment cultivator, actually humiliated him like this.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Ling Zixiao, and took out two talismans from the storage ring.
The two talismans were activated, one of which formed a layer of bright golden light, protecting his whole body.
The other talisman turned into a fireball the size of a zhang, blasting towards the talisman formation.
These were Third Order talismans that he had bought at a high price to protect himself.
He wanted to use the talismans to break through the talisman formation, so as to kill Ling Zixiao.
As long as Ling Zixiao died, he would be confident in solving Lu Ping’an.
“Third Order Talisman.”
Ling Zixiao had long expected that Pseudo-Core Ancestors like Sima Tong would have many methods, and immediately cast a talisman towards the talisman formation.
This talisman was very extraordinary, and it exuded the aura of a Third Order talisman.
“Boom boom boom—”
After the Wind and Fire Curtain Sky Formation integrated into this Third Order talisman, a thunderbolt turned into rolling thunder, obliterating the fireball, and another one killed towards Sima Patriarch.
Seeing this power, Sima Patriarch was shocked and exclaimed, “Third Order Talisman!”
You must know that in the entire Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world, there are only a handful of Third Order Talisman Masters.
The few Third Order talismans in his hand were still obtained at a high price.
Ling Zixiao in front of him actually had a Third Order talisman as well.
“Boom!”
The Divine Firmament Thunder Talisman broke through the fireball and blasted towards Sima Patriarch, and he hurriedly urged his alms bowl spiritual weapon to the extreme, but the bright golden color of his body was still much dimmed.
“Boom boom boom—”
Seeing this, Lu Ping’an continued to kill forward, his power was fierce and domineering.
“Whoosh—”
Ling Zixiao pinched her fingers, and another Third Order talisman was integrated into the talisman formation, causing Sima Patriarch’s soul to fly out of his body and his hair to stand on end.
“Ling Zixiao, does your Emerald Lake Mountain really want to do this extermination!”
Sima Patriarch immediately shouted loudly.
At this moment, he was already afraid.
If Ling Zixiao still had many Third Order talismans in her hand, he might have to explain himself here today.
“Extermination? Your Sima family has repeatedly provoked my Emerald Lake Mountain and intercepted my Lu family caravan. If I don’t kill you today, where is the prestige of my Emerald Lake Mountain! ?”
Ling Zixiao’s cloud temples were high, her eyebrows were majestic, and the whole person revealed an awe-inspiring aura that could not be desecrated.
“If you kill me, you will be in an endless feud with my Sima family!”
Sima Patriarch continued to shout, wanting to threaten through his family.
His Sima family not only had two Pseudo-Core cultivators sitting in town, but also had a lot of connections in the Azure Cloud Sect.
“Endless feud? You are bullying the small with the big today, and I will go to your Black Tortoise Ridge to ask for an explanation with my husband afterwards.”
“I want to see if your Black Tortoise Ridge can take my palace’s Shaking Mountain Great Formation and my husband’s Myriad Talisman Great Formation!”
“I’m not afraid to tell you that my husband has been promoted to a Third Order Talisman Master, and I don’t know how many Third Order talismans my husband’s tortoise shell can withstand!”
Ling Zixiao’s posture was dignified, and her voice was calm and indifferent, but it gave people a kind of domineering majesty that overlooked the world and gave life and death.
“Third Order Talisman Master!”
“What, Lu Changsheng has been promoted to a Third Order Talisman Master!”
Sima Patriarch and Sima Tai, who was hiding in the bronze bell, both changed their expressions and were terrified.
Although the Third Order Talisman Master is not as good as the Core Formation True Person.
However, the Core Formation True Person will also give some face to the Third Order Talisman Master.
After all, the Core Formation True Person usually needs Third Order talismans.
Even if they don’t use it themselves, they may ask for a few talismans for their descendants to protect themselves.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng is not an ordinary Talisman Master, he has the Talisman Dao inheritance and is proficient in the art of Talisman Formation.
If a large number of Third Order talismans are used to set up a talisman formation, the Pseudo-Core True Person is not an opponent in front of him at all.
“No wonder this woman has so many talismans in her hand, and there are also Third Order talismans, it turns out that Lu Changsheng has been promoted to a Third Order Talisman Master!”
Sima Patriarch felt a burst of regret in his heart.
If he had known this news earlier, he would never have come here rashly.
At this time, he was also a little bit riding a tiger.
After all, if Lu Changsheng is really a Third Order Talisman Master, the outcome of the two families fighting is really uncertain.
“My Black Tortoise Ridge is wrong in this matter, please show mercy, Madam Lu.”
“Regarding today’s matter, my Sima family is willing to make compensation!”
Sima Patriarch drove the Leveling Ruler, resisting Lu Ping’an’s offensive, and looked at the two Third Order talismans on the talisman formation, his voice was a little hoarse.
