âFather!â
Lu Pingâanâs Talisman also appeared in his hand, his face set in a resolute expression as if ready to face death.
âHehe, itâs okay, leave it to your father to handle.â
Lu Changsheng looked at the expressions of his two sons, smiled, and patted their shoulders, signaling them to be calm.
This time, the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Familyâs attack should serve as a lesson for his sons.
He wanted them to understand that there are always greater powers and more skilled individuals in the world.
Facing High-Rank Cultivators, especially those from powerful clans, one must be extremely cautious and careful!
Moreover, his two sons were now grown up and on the verge of attaining Foundation Establishment, so it was time they learned some of the familyâs secrets.
He handed the control of the Spirit Boat over to Lu Quanzhen.
Then he looked at the Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steeds and the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family charging fiercely towards him, took a step forward, and stepped off the Spirit Boat to meet them.
âFather!â
Lu Quanzhenâs expression conveyed great shock as he cried out, thinking that Lu Changsheng was trying to buy time for the two of them.
âQuanzhen, believe in father.â
Lu Pingâan pressed down on his shoulder, speaking in a deep voice.
He had immense trust in his own father.
Believing that if his father dared to do so, he must certainly have confidence!
âHmm!? How bold of you, seeking death!â
Standing on the majestic Divine Vessel, the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family saw Lu Changsheng standing in the void with a stern face and a composed aura, clad in a Mystic Robe, and immediately glared with anger, directing the Wind-Thunder Steed to charge straight at him.
This Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steed was not just any beast bred by the Xu Family for pulling carts.
It was a beast he had carefully raised, capable of tremendous battle power, used for travel, and each of them was incredibly strong.
The leader of the beasts had been with him for hundreds of years, possessing the strength of a Second Rank Late Stage.
With such a charge, even a Cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment would be directly killed!
âRoar roar roar!â
The Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steed immediately let out unison roars, surrounded by swirling winds and thunder, like a mighty army charging forward, carrying a sky full of wild wind and thunder, crushing through the heavens, and charging straight towards Lu Changsheng.
âBuzz buzz buzz!â
Just then, a clear sword whistling sounded throughout the heavens and the earth.
Suddenly, a giant sword, tens of meters long and shimmering with the light of the seven colors, appeared above Lu Changshengâs head, bursting with endless fierce Sword Qi, threatening to obliterate everything as it slashed down ferociously.
âBoom boom boom!!!â
The violent storm of wind and thunder collided with the overwhelming giant sword descending from the sky, instantly creating an earth-shattering explosion.
Bright Mana light tore through the skies, and the waves of power from the battleâs epicenter spread like raging seas, sweeping in all directions and stirring up huge waves.
Such residual waves caused the nearby Spirit Boat, with Lu Quanzhen and Lu Pingâan aboard, to rock like a leaf in a tempest, nearly overturned and swallowed by the giant wave.
Fortunately, a majestic and gentle breeze of Mana came forth, dispelling the waves of power.
âWhat!?â
âFatherâs strength?â
Lu Quanzhen and Lu Pingâan, witnessing this scene, were shocked and looked at each other in dismay, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They had never expected their father to be so powerful.
Especially Lu Quanzhen.
He had always known that his father concealed his true strength and was not as simple as he seemed!
But this was way beyond what heâd imagined!
He could actually face off against a False Core Immortal head-on!
Could it be that during the battle on White Tiger Mountain, when he faced the Great Elder of the Jin Family from Golden Dragon Ridge, was he merely toying with his opponent?
âElder Xu, you come here with such aggression;
may I inquire as to the reason?â
Lu Changsheng, in his Mystic Robe, stood with his hands behind his back in the void, looking at the approaching Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family and asked calmly.
âWho are you? You know of my Beast Taming Xu Family and yet dare to oppose us so!â
The Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family, although surprised by their brief clash, still had an aggressive demeanor as he shouted loudly.
âMe? I am simply a Loose Cultivator, sending my children to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm for training.â
Lu Changsheng responded thus.
âVery well, you wonât tell me?!â
âA mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator dares to be so insolent before me;
once I capture you, I will make you spill everything!â
The Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family glared with fury, his voice cold as he spoke.
He had already decided that Lu Changsheng was from some top-tier power, deliberately provoking to gauge his familyâs situation.
In the midst of his speech, his pupils flashed with purple-blue thunder light.
âRoar!!!â
A beastâs roar echoed through the heavens and earth.
Strands of purple-blue thunder light spread from the Qi Ocean Core of the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family.
A ring-shaped Magic Artifact with swirling winds and thunder appeared above the Elder Ancestorâs head.
This ring, called the âThunderstorm Ringâ, was the Life-bound Magic Treasure of the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family.
Although it was a Low Quality Magical Treasure,
after many years of his sacrifice, combined with the Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steeds, its power was astonishing.
Even if Lu Changsheng before him seemed out of the ordinary, capable of being a False Core Immortal, he was utterly unafraid!
After all, as a member of the Beast Taming Xu Family who commanded Spiritual Beasts, he was already among the best in his own Rank!
âBoom!â
At the moment when the Elder Xu Ancestor brought out his Magical Treasure, Lu Changsheng had already taken the initiative to make a move.
He knew that todayâs matter could not end well, and he had to fight!
âNine Treasures Ruyi BoneâSpirit, Qi, and Mind!â
Lu Changsheng immediately activated the three Divine Skills contained within his Life-bound Treasure Bone.
The Runes on his breastbone intertwined, bursting with brilliant light, enhancing his Physical Body, Mana, and Divine Sense intensely, roaring like a tsunami.
In an instant, his figure, as he shot forward, seemed to grow a few inches taller.
At the same time, countless purple-red fiery flames spread from his radiant body and charged ahead to confront the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family.
âRoar roar roar!â
The Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steeds howled towards the sky, emanating waves of wind and thunder, which filled the air.
But before Lu Changshengâs demon-god-like figure, the Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steeds were directly sent flying by a brutal impact and screamed in pain as they were burned by the raging Dragon Flame.
âWhat!? No good!â
The Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family saw Lu Changsheng directly use brute force to knock away his Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steeds and approach him;
his expression slightly changed.
