Chapter 727: Genius is as numerous as stars! The demon king emerges!
Qin Yi, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Chensha, and others, seeing the situation, also brought out their Spiritual Artifacts, preparing to act.
“Sister-in-law, Qingxuan, Chensha… you all hold the line.”
Lu Wangshu looked at them and said, not wanting the entire Lu Family to be drawn into this Secret Realm dispute.
As she spoke, the Talisman Artifact, Nine-Nine Mysterious True Strategy, was brought out, transforming into thirty-six thousand Mysterious True Talismans, coiling around her body.
Immediately after, her Mysterious Talisman Brush suddenly tapped, and the Talismans outlined before her rapidly divided.
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry, Wangshu never does anything she’s not confident about; there must be a reason for her actions.”
Lu Qingxuan recognized Lu Lingxiao, roughly guessing Lu Wangshu’s purpose in doing so, and transmitted his voice to Qin Yi.
“Mm.”
Qin Yi nodded lightly, but still held her Flying Sword tightly in her hand, ready to act if the situation turned unfavorable.
Lu Linghe and Lu Xuangan, who were beside her, were also like this, looking ready to act at any moment.
Only Lu Chensha, seeing Lu Wangshu not minding the trouble and facing many opponents with Lu Lingxiao, couldn’t help but click his tongue.
He felt that in the future, he should stay as far away from this older sister as possible, otherwise, she was too prone to causing trouble.
At this moment, in the battlefield, Lu Lingxiao was fighting multiple opponents, caught in a chaotic battle, fiercely clashing, fully erupting without holding back, wearing a crimson-gold armor.
Lu Wangshu held her Talisman Brush, continuously outlining Talismans, with thirty-six thousand Mysterious True Talismans coiling around her body; when someone advanced, several Talismans would shoot out, helping Lu Lingxiao share some of the pressure.
“Bang, bang, bang!!!”
Previously, when Lu Lingxiao attacked with full force, he would try to restrain himself to avoid killing anyone.
But now, without holding back, his Dragon Roar Source fully boiled, and the Golden Fire Vine Tree instantly struck a Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivator who attacked from the side, causing him to vomit blood and fly backward, startling the crowd.
However, in this gap, he himself was struck by a False Core Immortal Master in front of him, causing him to vomit fresh blood and fly backward, his black hair disheveled.
“Vermillion Bird Sky Burning Art!”
Lu Lingxiao let out a long roar, like a Dragon’s roar and a Phoenix’s cry, making several people tremble, and continued to charge forward.
In such an intense chaotic battle, he had no time to use the Son of Heaven Qi Observation Art to perceive the flow of magical power, weaknesses, and flaws, so he simply gave up using this Divine Ability and followed his battle instincts.
At this moment, he no longer held his previous noble image; his thick hair was disheveled and stood on end, and the Golden Fire Vine Tree in his hand continuously struck the Magic Treasure of the False Core Cultivator in front of him.
“What a method!”
This False Core Cultivator roared loudly, continuously fighting Lu Lingxiao, but did not aim for a killing blow.
After all, anyone who wasn’t foolish could see that Lu Lingxiao was not simple.
In fact, through Lu Wangshu, many people had already guessed Lu Lingxiao’s identity.
In this situation, severely injuring and defeating him was acceptable, but killing him was absolutely not!
“Whoosh!”
Another sharp sword light flew over, striking towards Lu Lingxiao’s head; his eyes were like the rising sun and moon, shooting out two golden beams of light, disrupting all Qi mechanisms.
Then, golden divine light circulated in his left hand, and with a sudden grab, he directly gripped this Spiritual Artifact tightly with his bare hands!
Immortal Bone, Myriad Dharma Universal Bone!
Not only did his left hand’s strength increase, making him immune to various spells, but the speed and power of his spellcasting also fully increased!
And besides his Foundation Establishment Peak cultivation, Lu Lingxiao also possessed a Tier 2 Late Stage physique, so with the added effect of the Myriad Dharma Universal Bone, he directly seized the Flying Sword with his bare hands!
“Bare-handed against a top-tier Spiritual Artifact!”
“This, this, this!!!”
Some people had already noticed that Lu Lingxiao’s left hand was unusual, guessing that he cultivated some secret art or Divine Ability.
But they never expected that he would dare to directly confront a top-tier Spiritual Artifact; this was truly astonishing.
A group of people were dumbfounded, standing like wooden chickens.
Even Qin Yi, Lu Qingxuan, and others not far away were surprised and horrified.
“Is this the gap between mediocrity and Genius?”
The False Core elder fighting Lu Lingxiao was shocked, deeply feeling the gap between himself and a Prodigy like Lu Lingxiao.
Although he was fighting Lu Lingxiao to a standstill, and even had the upper hand, it was entirely due to the suppression of his Realm cultivation.
If it were one-on-one, he would not be Lu Lingxiao’s opponent.
However, despite his感慨, his entire body’s magical power surged, and seizing this opportunity, his ruler-shaped Magic Treasure descended like a thunderbolt, causing Lu Lingxiao to stagger backward, blood welling up in his throat.
He swallowed this mouthful of blood, and through a secret art, burned his Origin, holding the Golden Fire Vine Tree in his left hand, unleashing an earth-shattering blow, reaching the False Core elder’s front, incomparably domineering.
Lu Wangshu, seeing her brother in a dangerous state, possibly about to be defeated at any moment, suddenly tapped her Talisman Brush, and the Talismans in front of her arranged and combined, intending to isolate the surrounding Cultivators.
But the huge commotion here had already attracted more and more Cultivators in the Secret Realm.
Seeing the situation, and seeing Lu Lingxiao on the verge of collapse, knowing that if they defeated Lu Wangshu, they could seize the Secret Realm token, they all bypassed Lu Lingxiao and charged towards Lu Wangshu.
“Hmph, do you take this young lady for a vegetarian?”
After entering the Secret Realm, being so high-profile, Lu Wangshu naturally didn’t think of hiding her strength, nor could she hide it.
Seeing the many Cultivators approaching, the xuan yuan pearl in her Qi Sea Dantian vibrated frantically, causing the Talismans drawn around her body to continuously divide, isolating and imprisoning many Cultivators.
“Not good, it’s the Tianfu Lu Family’s Symbol Array!”
“No matter how powerful a Symbol Array is, it can’t trap so many of us!”
“Break!”
These Cultivators were all extraordinary; even with Lu Wangshu’s pre-arranged Symbol Array, it was very strenuous.
However, the next moment, she lightly patted the fragrant pouch at her waist, then gently tossed it out, forming hand seals.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
These paper figures instantly transformed into powerful warriors with dull expressions and bodies inscribed with dense Talisman characters.
“Talisman Soldiers!?”
Someone, seeing these paper warriors, immediately exclaimed loudly, their expression surprised and doubtful.
It wasn’t that Talisman Soldiers were so astonishing.
Rather, for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to possess so many Talisman Soldiers was too terrifying.
After all, Talisman Soldiers also belonged to a type of Dao Soldiers.
And it was well known that without money, one should not provoke Dao Soldiers.
Only Core Formation-level forces were qualified to raise and train Dao Soldiers.
But now, Lu Wangshu, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, actually threw out thirty-six Tier 2 Dao Soldiers.
This was just ridiculous!
“Could it be that Chang Sheng Zhenren was afraid his daughter would be in danger, so he gave her the Dao Soldiers he refined?”
“I remember the Tianfu Lu Family only has one Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers; I’ve never heard of them having Talisman Soldiers.”
“Chang Sheng Zhenren formed his Core after a hundred years, single-handedly created the Tianfu Lu Family, and became the Deputy City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City; how could he be as simple as he appears on the surface? Perhaps he secretly refined a force of Tianfu Dao Soldiers!”
“That’s right, these are definitely Talisman Soldiers refined by Chang Sheng Zhenren and given to his daughter for self-protection; otherwise, which Foundation Establishment Cultivator would have the money to train Dao Soldiers!”
“I’m so envious, I really hope a Nascent Soul True Lord father falls from the sky, embraces me, and gently says, ‘Child, your father has finally found you.’”
“Damn it, bringing so many Dao Soldiers into the Secret Realm, what’s the point of playing this game!”
The Cultivators in the field, looking at Lu Wangshu’s Talisman Soldiers, not a single person believed that she had trained and refined them herself.
They all believed that Lu Changsheng had given them to her for self-protection.
After all, the reason Dao Soldiers were so famous was that they could protect families and Sects, suppress their Foundations, or be given to Juniors for self-protection.
Thirty-six Tier 2 Talisman Soldiers appeared, arranged neatly, forming a formation, helping Lu Wangshu stabilize the Symbol Array.
And her Foundation Establishment eighth-layer magical power surged at this moment, directly rising to Foundation Establishment Peak.
With such magical power, and the xuan yuan pearl’s enhancement, it could be said that no one in the Secret Realm was Lu Wangshu’s opponent.
However, she knew that today’s protagonist was Lu Lingxiao, and she was willing to be a foil for her younger brother, merely using the Symbol Array to trap and block people.
“Is this Wangshu’s strength?”
“Sister Wangshu’s strength…”
Lu Qingxuan, Qin Yi, as well as Lu Qingze, Lu Chensha, and others, were all surprised to see Lu Wangshu’s performance.
Especially Qin Yi.
Although she knew that Lu Wangshu was very talented, and had even defeated Shangguan Poyun, the Genius of the Divine Blade Shangguan Family, back then.
But she never expected that this unreliable sister-in-law was so extraordinary; judging by her performance, she was even no worse than Lu Lingxiao, who was fighting a False Core Immortal Master.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
At the same time, Lu Lingxiao, in his fight with the False Core elder, gradually entered a state of sincere Dao, where man and nature were one.
His mind was free from dust, fighting according to his instincts.
The Son of Heaven Qi Observation Art seemed to have become instinctive, no longer limited to using his eyes, the Son of Heaven’s Golden Eyes.
Instead, he perceived and predicted through his Divine Soul and Physical Body, achieving foresight.
Although he was in a very poor state now, after entering this state, he became more courageous with each setback, his eyes shooting out two torch-like beams of light, interfering with the False Core Immortal Master’s magical power Qi mechanism.
“Bang!”
The two clashed violently, their Magic Treasures colliding, both retreating several feet.
Lu Lingxiao’s condition was getting worse and worse; he could no longer erupt with Qi and blood magical power as he did at the beginning, directly forcing back a False Core Immortal Master.
But he still fought on with all his might.
Seeing Lu Lingxiao’s fearless Aura, the False Core Immortal Master he was fighting against felt fear.
On one hand, he was wary of Lu Lingxiao’s identity.
On the other hand, he was influenced by Lu Lingxiao’s Aura and did not want to fight to the death and continue to suffer losses.
After all, he was over two hundred years old.
If his injuries were too severe, he might lose several years, or even ten years, of his lifespan.
However, in a narrow path, the brave one wins.
As his Aura weakened, he became full of flaws in front of Lu Lingxiao, gradually being suppressed and influenced by his Son of Heaven’s True Form.
“Bang!!!”
The two entangled for more than ten more rounds, and this False Core Immortal Master flew backward, using the momentum to escape, unwilling to fight further.
If he continued to fight, his Foundation would be completely damaged.
Lu Lingxiao did not pursue, continuing to charge into the crowd, comprehending the secret art his Master, Honglian, taught him.
Like a Phoenix reborn from fire, transforming by burning oneself!
To be reborn, one must first be destroyed; without destruction, there is no establishment!
To be reborn from fire, one needs to experience the feeling of exhausting one’s oil and nearing death!
This move was very dangerous, and it was also Honglian’s hope that he could complete his transformation in a desperate life-or-death situation!
“Roar!!!”
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly sounded from afar.
Everyone who heard this sound felt a chill!
Demon King!
This was a Tier 3 Demon King!
“How can there be a Tier 3 Demon King in the Secret Realm!”
“Damn it, it’s already outrageous that False Core Immortal Masters are allowed in, and there’s even a Tier 3 Demon King!”
“What is Great Dream Immortal City doing!”
Countless people were terrified, their expressions blank, and some even cursed inwardly.
“Tier 3 Demon King!”
However, Lu Lingxiao sensed this Tier 3 Demon King’s Qi mechanism, and two golden lights instantly shot out from his eyes, looking towards the Demon King’s direction, burning with fierce Battle Intent, completely fearless.
Once, when the beast tide attacked.
His father, Lu Changsheng, led him to face several Tier 3 Demon Kings, and even patrolled the Great Dream Marsh by stepping on the Rift Sea Mystic Whale.
Now, what was there to fear from a single Tier 3 Demon King!
“Sister Wangshu.”
Lu Lingxiao’s hair was disheveled, and his armor was covered in mottled marks; he looked at Lu Wangshu, signaling to go and fight the Demon King.
“Good.”
Lu Wangshu’s beautiful hair fluttered, and she nodded, then formed hand seals, causing the isolating and blocking Symbol Array to rumble and explode, severely injuring and forcing back the Cultivators in the field one by one.
Lu Qingxuan, Qin Yi, Lu Chensha, and others, seeing the situation, stepped forward to face the other Cultivators and collect the spoils of war.
“Is this her true strength?”
Among the crowd, Shangguan Poyun’s face was pale, his hand gripping his Thunder Blade tightly, veins bulging.
Back in Nine Heavens Immortal City, he lost to Lu Wangshu, realized his shortcomings, and prepared to temper himself, advance further, and then strive for Core Formation.
But today, seeing Lu Lingxiao fight against many experts with his Foundation Establishment Peak cultivation, and then seeing Lu Wangshu’s absolute dominance formed by her Symbol Array, he felt somewhat doubtful about life.
He, the Core Formation seed of the Divine Blade Shangguan Family, was hailed as a Genius from a young age, belonging to the cream of the crop.
But now…
“Genius are like stars, and above them are the bright moon and blazing sun… Jiang Country is, after all, too small.”
Shangguan Poyun muttered softly.
A moment later, Lu Wangshu, in a pink and white dress, with hundreds of Talismans circling around her body, and thirty-six Tier 2 Talisman Soldiers standing neatly, exuded an Aura of one man holding off ten thousand.
At this moment, no one dared to come forward again.
Previously, the two of them had already repelled and severely injured most of the remaining Cultivators.
Charging forward again was meaningless.
Mainly, her Symbol Array and thirty-six Dao Soldiers gave people a sense of being unsolvable.
Unless a False Core Immortal Master was willing to go first to attract firepower, there would be no hope of breaking the formation.
But now, the Secret Realm was nearing its end, and a Tier 3 Demon King was charging this way; no one was willing to be a stepping stone for others.
“Sister-in-law, how about we hunt a Tier 3 Demon King?”
At this moment, Lu Wangshu looked at Qin Yi and the others, saying with a smile on her face.
“Hunt a Tier 3 Demon King!”
Qin Yi was startled by Lu Wangshu’s words, looking at the Tier 3 Demon King in the distance.
Although Lu Wangshu and Lu Lingxiao’s combat power was astonishing, it wasn’t enough to face a Tier 3 Demon King, was it?
Moreover, Lu Lingxiao’s magical power was chaotic and his state was weak now.
However, seeing the determination of Lu Wangshu and Lu Lingxiao to go, and glancing at Lu Qingxuan and the others, she still gritted her teeth and replied, “Okay.”
Immediately, Lu Wangshu and Lu Lingxiao, along with their group, flew towards the direction of the Tier 3 Demon King.
“What are they doing?”
“Why are they charging towards the Tier 3 Demon King?”
“Do they intend to hunt a Tier 3 Demon King?”
“Impossible, how can a Foundation Establishment Cultivator hunt a Tier 3 Demon King?”
“That’s hard to say; the Secret Realm has already been explored by Great Dream Immortal City, so it’s impossible for a Tier 3 Demon King to remain without reason; it must be an arrangement by the Immortal City.”
“That’s right, this Talisman Fairy has Talisman Soldiers on her; it’s not impossible that Chang Sheng Zhenren gave her Tier 3 Talismans, and perhaps the Ningjing Pill, the first-place reward, was prepared for her.”
Some people, seeing Lu Wangshu, Lu Lingxiao, and the Lu Family members flying towards the direction of the Tier 3 Demon King, discussed in low voices.
