Chapter 725: Genius Stars Ablaze! Demon King Emerges!
by xennovelQin Yi, Lu Qingxian, Lu Chensha, and the others, seeing this, also took out their spiritual artifacts, ready to fight.
“Eldest Sister-in-law, Qingxuan, Chensha, you guys provide support.”
Lu Wangshu said, looking at them, not wanting to involve the entire Lu Family in this secret realm conflict.
As she spoke, the talisman artifact [Nine-Nine Mysterious True Strategy] was released, transforming into 36,000 mysterious true divination sticks that swirled around her.
Immediately after, the Mysterious Talisman Brush in her hand sharply pointed, and the talismans outlined in front of her rapidly divided.
“Eldest Sister-in-law, don’t worry, Wangshu never does anything she’s not confident in. There must be a reason for her actions.”
Lu Qingxian recognized Lu Lingxiao and roughly guessed Lu Wangshu’s intentions, and sent a voice transmission to Qin Yi.
“Mm.”
Qin Yi nodded lightly, but still tightly gripped the flying sword in her hand, ready to attack if the situation turned bad.
Lu Linghe and Lu Xuangen beside her were the same, looking ready to act at any moment.
Only Lu Chensha, seeing Lu Wangshu not afraid of causing trouble and Lu Lingxiao fighting against so many, couldn’t help but click his tongue.
He decided that he should stay as far away from this older sister as possible in the future, or he’d get into trouble too easily.
At this moment, in the battlefield, Lu Lingxiao was fighting against many enemies, in a chaotic melee, his entire being exploding without any reservation, clad in a crimson-gold armor.
Lu Wangshu held her talisman brush, continuously outlining talismans. The 36,000 mysterious true divination sticks swirled around her, and as people charged, several talismans shot out, helping Lu Lingxiao share some of the pressure.
“Bang bang bang!!!”
Before, when Lu Lingxiao went all out, he would still try to restrain himself to avoid killing people.
But now, without any reservations, his Dragon Roar Essence completely surged. The Golden Fire Vine Tree instantly sent a Foundation Establishment peak cultivator who attacked from the side flying backward spitting blood, scaring everyone back.
However, he himself, in that gap, was struck by the Nascent Soul cultivator, vomiting blood and flying backwards, his black hair in disarray.
“Vermillion Bird Sky Burning Art!”
Lu Lingxiao roared, his voice like a dragon’s roar and a phoenix’s cry, shaking several people and causing them to tremble as he continued to charge forward.
In this intense melee, he no longer had time to use his Emperor’s Golden Eyes to see the flow of magical energy and weak points, so he simply gave up using that Divine Ability and followed his battle instincts.
At this moment, he no longer had the dignified image from before, his thick hair disheveled and standing on end, the Golden Fire Vine Tree in his hand continuously striking the Nascent Soul cultivator’s Dao-Comprehending Artifact.
“Impressive skills!”
The Nascent Soul cultivator shouted, continuously battling with Lu Lingxiao, but not making a killing move.
After all, anyone who wasn’t stupid could see that Lu Lingxiao was not simple.
Many had even guessed Lu Lingxiao’s identity through Lu Wangshu.
Under these circumstances, they could seriously injure and defeat him, but they absolutely could not kill him! “Sizzle!”
Another sharp sword light flew over, slashing towards Lu Lingxiao’s head. His eyes, like the rising sun and moon, shot out two golden beams, disrupting all the energy.
Then his left hand glowed with golden light, and with a sudden grab, he directly seized the spiritual artifact in his bare hand! The Universal Law Eternal Bone! Not only did his left-hand strength increase, but he was also immune to all kinds of spells, and the speed and power of his spells were also completely enhanced!
And Lu Lingxiao, besides having a Foundation Establishment peak cultivation, also had a second-stage late-phase physique, so under the enhancement of the Universal Law Eternal Bone, he directly snatched the flying sword with his bare hand! “Barehanded confrontation with a top-tier spiritual artifact!”
“This, this, this!!!”
Before, some people had noticed that Lu Lingxiao’s left hand was unusual, guessing that he was practicing some secret technique or Divine Ability.
But they never expected that he would actually dare to confront a top-tier spiritual artifact head-on. This was simply too shocking.
A group of people were dumbfounded, completely stunned.
Even Qin Yi, Lu Qingxian, and the others not far away were shocked and suspicious.
“Is this the difference between mediocre talent and genius?”
The Nascent Soul old man fighting against Lu Lingxiao was shocked, deeply feeling the gap between himself and a heaven’s pride like Lu Lingxiao.
Although he was fighting Lu Lingxiao to a standstill, and even had the upper hand, it was entirely relying on his higher cultivation.
If it were a one-on-one fight, he wouldn’t be a match for Lu Lingxiao.
But, despite the emotions, his whole body surged with magical energy. Seizing this opportunity, his ruler-shaped Dao-Comprehending Artifact fell like a thunderbolt, causing Lu Lingxiao to stagger backward, blood rising to his throat.
He swallowed the blood back, and through a secret technique, he burned his Essence and with his left hand holding the Golden Fire Vine Tree he unleashed a world-shattering blow, attacking the Nascent Soul old man with unparalleled dominance.
Lu Wangshu saw that her younger brother was in a dangerous situation and might lose at any moment. She sharply pointed her talisman brush, arranging the talismans before her, wanting to isolate the surrounding cultivators.
But the huge commotion here had attracted more and more cultivators from the secret realm.
They saw the situation, saw that Lu Lingxiao was about to fall, and thought that as long as Lu Wangshu was defeated, they could seize the secret realm token. So they crossed Lu Lingxiao and charged towards Lu Wangshu.
“Hmph, do you think I’m a pushover?”
After entering the secret realm, being so high-profile, Lu Wangshu naturally didn’t plan to hide her strength, nor could she.
Seeing the many cultivators coming, the Xuanyuan Pearl in her Qi Sea dantian vibrated wildly, causing the talismans she had drawn to constantly divide, isolating and trapping the many cultivators.
“Not good, a talisman array from the Talisman Lu Family!”
“No matter how powerful the talisman array is, it can’t trap so many of us!”
“Break it!”
These cultivators were not ordinary. Even though Lu Wangshu had set up the talisman array in advance, it was still very difficult.
However, the next moment, she lightly patted the sachet at her waist and then tossed it out, her hands forming hand seals.
“Swish swish swish–”
These paper figures instantly transformed into figures with blank expressions, their bodies covered with dense talismans.
“Talisman Soldiers!?”
Someone saw these paper figure warriors and immediately shouted in shock, looking suspicious.
It wasn’t that the talisman soldiers were so amazing.
But a Foundation Establishment cultivator possessing so many talisman soldiers was too terrifying.
After all, talisman soldiers also belonged to the category of Spiritual Soldiers.
And as everyone knew, if you don’t have money, don’t go near Spiritual Soldiers.
Only Core Formation level forces were qualified to raise and train Spiritual Soldiers.
But now, Lu Wangshu, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, had actually thrown out thirty-six second-order Spiritual Soldiers.
This was just outrageous!
“Could it be that Changsheng Zhenren was afraid that his daughter was in danger, so he gave her the Spiritual Soldiers he refined?”
“I remember that the Talisman Lu Family only has a Black Water Flood Dragon Spiritual Soldier, and I’ve never heard of any talisman soldiers.”
“Changsheng Zhenren formed his Core in a hundred years, single-handedly created the Talisman Lu Family, and also became the deputy city lord of Immortal City of Damengze. How could he be as simple as he appears? Maybe he secretly refined a Talisman Spiritual Soldier!” “That’s right! These are definitely the talisman soldiers refined by Changsheng Zhenren to protect his daughter, otherwise, which Foundation Establishment cultivator would have the money to raise Spiritual Soldiers!”
“I’m so envious. I really wish a Nascent Soul True Lord Father would descend from the heavens, embrace me, and say in a gentle voice, ‘Child, Dad has finally found you.'”
“Damn it! Bringing so many Spiritual Soldiers into the secret realm, what are we even playing at!”
The cultivators in the field looked at Lu Wangshu’s talisman soldiers. None of them believed that she had raised and refined them herself.
They all thought that Lu Changsheng had given them to her as protection.
After all, the reason why Spiritual Soldiers were so famous was that they could protect a family or sect, suppress their foundation, or be given to the younger generation as protection.
Thirty-six second-order talisman soldiers appeared, neatly arranged and forming a formation, helping Lu Wangshu stabilize her talisman array.
And her Foundation Establishment eighth level magical energy, at this moment, steadily climbed, directly rising to the Foundation Establishment peak.
With this level of magical energy, and the enhancement of the Xuanyuan Pearl, it could be said that no one in the secret realm was a match for Lu Wangshu.
However, she knew that today’s protagonist was Lu Lingxiao, and she was willing to be a foil for her younger brother, only using the talisman array to trap and block people.
“Is this Wangshu’s strength?”
“Sister Wangshu’s strength.”
Lu Qingxian, Qin Yi, Lu Qingze, Lu Chensha, and the others were also astonished when they saw 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 Shen Family of Blades, in the past.
But she never expected that this eccentric little aunt would be so extraordinary, and her performance was even comparable to Lu Lingxiao who was fighting against a Nascent Soul cultivator.
“Boom boom boom!”
At the same time, Lu Lingxiao, while fighting the Nascent Soul old man, gradually entered a state of harmony with the heavens, a state of utmost sincerity.
His entire being was unstained by dust, and he fought according to his instincts.
The Emperor’s Aura Gazing Technique seemed to have become an instinct, no longer limited to his eyes, the Emperor’s Golden Eyes.
Instead, he used his divine soul and body to sense and predict, achieving the ability to anticipate the enemy’s moves.
Even though he was in a very poor state, after entering this state, his whole being became more and more courageous. His eyes shot out two torch-like beams of light, disrupting the Nascent Soul cultivator’s magical energy.
“Bang!”
The two fiercely clashed, and their Dao-Comprehending Artifacts collided, both of them retreating several feet.
Lu Lingxiao’s condition was getting worse and worse, and he was no longer able to explode his blood energy and magical power like he did at the beginning, and directly beat back a Nascent Soul cultivator.
But he still desperately charged forward.
Seeing Lu Lingxiao’s fearless aura, the Nascent Soul cultivator fighting against him became afraid.
On one hand, he was worried about Lu Lingxiao’s identity.
On the other hand, he was influenced by Lu Lingxiao’s aura, not wanting to fight to the death and continue wasting energy.
After all, he was over two hundred years old.
If his injuries were too severe, he might lose several, even ten years of his lifespan.
However, when two warriors meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins.
When his aura weakened, he began to show flaws in front of Lu Lingxiao, and was gradually suppressed and influenced by Lu Lingxiao’s Emperor’s true form.
“Bang!!!”
The two tangled for more than ten rounds. This Nascent Soul cultivator flew backward, using the force to escape and not wanting to fight anymore.
If he continued to fight, he would completely damage his foundation.
Lu Lingxiao did not chase, and instead continued to charge into the crowd, experiencing the secret technique that his master, Hong Lian, had taught him.
It was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, transforming through burning itself! To be reborn, you must first perish! No destruction, no construction!
If he wanted to be reborn from the ashes, he needed to experience the feeling of his own life force being exhausted, being on the verge of death!
This move was very dangerous, and it was also what Hong Lian hoped he could do: to complete his transformation in a life-or-death situation! “Roar!!!”
Just at this time, a deafening roar suddenly sounded in the distance.
Everyone who heard this sound was horrified! A Demon King!
This was a third-order Demon King! “How can there be a third-order Demon King in the secret realm!”
“Damn it! Allowing Nascent Soul cultivators in was already outrageous, but there’s even a third-order Demon King!”
“What the hell is the Immortal City of Damengze doing!”
Countless people were terrified, their faces stunned, and some even cursed in their hearts.
“A third-order Demon King!”
However, Lu Lingxiao sensed the aura of this third-order Demon King, and his eyes instantly shot out two golden beams, looking towards the direction of the Demon King, his fighting spirit burning fiercely, without any fear.
Once, when the beast tide attacked.
His father, Lu Changsheng, had led him to face several third-order Demon Kings, and even patrolled Da Mengze on the Abyssal Sea Whale King.
Now, what was there to fear from a single third-order Demon King! “Sister Wangshu.”
Lu Lingxiao’s hair was disheveled, and his armor was full of mottled marks. He looked at Lu Wangshu, signaling that he wanted to fight the Demon King.
“Okay.”
Lu Wangshu’s beautiful hair fluttered as she nodded her head and then formed hand seals, causing the talisman array that was isolating and blocking people to explode with a loud rumble, forcing the cultivators in the field to retreat with serious injuries.
Lu Qingxian, Qin Yi, Lu Chensha, and the others, seeing this, all stepped forward, facing the other cultivators to collect the spoils of war.
“So this is her true strength.”
Among the crowd, Shangguan Poyun’s face was pale, and his hand tightly gripped his thunder blade, his veins bulging.
Back in Nine Heavens Immortal City, he had lost to Lu Wangshu. Realizing his shortcomings, he prepared to temper himself and take it a step further, and then break through to Core Formation.
But today, seeing Lu Lingxiao, with his Foundation Establishment peak cultivation, fighting bravely against the masses, and then seeing Lu Wangshu’s absolute dominance with her talisman array, he began to doubt his entire life.
He, the Core Formation seed of the Shen Family of Blades, who was praised as a genius since childhood, belonged to the outstanding among the outstanding.
But now… “Geniuses are like stars, above them are the bright moon and the scorching sun. The Jiang Kingdom, after all, is too small.”
Shangguan Poyun muttered in a low voice.
A moment later, Lu Wangshu, dressed in a pink and white dress, with hundreds of talismans swirling around her, and thirty-six second-order talisman soldiers standing neatly, looked like a gate that one person could hold against ten thousand.
At this moment, no one dared to come forward again.
The two of them had already defeated and seriously injured the majority of the remaining cultivators before.
Charging forward again was already meaningless.
Mainly, her talisman array and thirty-six Spiritual Soldiers gave off a sense of being unsolvable.
Unless someone was a Nascent Soul cultivator willing to step forward first to attract firepower, then there was hope of breaking the array.
But now, the secret realm was already coming to an end, and a third-order Demon King was charging this way. No one was willing to become a stepping stone for others.
“Eldest Sister-in-law, how about we go hunt a third-order Demon King?”
At this time, Lu Wangshu looked at Qin Yi and the others, her cheeks showing a smile as she spoke.
“Hunt a third-order Demon King!”
Qin Yi was shocked by Lu Wangshu’s words as she looked towards the third-order Demon King in the distance.
Although Lu Wangshu and Lu Lingxiao’s combat power was amazing, it was still not enough to face a third-order Demon King, right?
Moreover, Lu Lingxiao’s magical power was now in disarray and he was in a weak state.
However, seeing Lu Wangshu and Lu Lingxiao’s intentions, and then looking at Lu Qingxian and the others, she still gritted her teeth and agreed: “Okay.”
Immediately, Lu Wangshu and Lu Lingxiao and the others flew towards the direction where the third-order Demon King was located.
“What are they doing?”
“Why are they rushing towards the third-order Demon King?”
“Could they want to hunt the third-order Demon King?”
“Impossible, how could Foundation Establishment cultivators hunt a third-order Demon King?”
“It’s hard to say. The secret realm has already been explored by the Immortal City of Damengze. There’s no way a third-order Demon King would be left behind for no reason. It must be an arrangement by the Immortal City.”
“That’s right. This Talisman Immortal has talisman soldiers on her. She might even have third-order talismans given by Changsheng Zhenren. Perhaps the Condensing Crystal Pill awarded for first place is prepared for her.”
Some people saw Lu Wangshu, Lu Lingxiao, and the others from the Lu Family fly towards the direction of the third-order Demon King and discussed in low voices.
