He hurriedly performed a gesture incantation, his life-bound magic treasure âThunderstorm Ringâ bursting with luster. It formed walls enveloped in wind and thunder, standing in front of him.
Yet, at this very moment, Lu Changsheng, bolstered by the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, seemed like a True Dragon awakening from his usual dormant state. It was like a primeval volcano erupting, an oppressive presence at its most tyrannical, his vital energy shooting to the heavens, creating smokes and flames that threw the world into chaos.
âPu pu pu!!!â
Under the god- and demon-like physical might, the Patriarch Xuâs nine wind and thunder walls were instantly fractured into pieces and dissipated like smoke.
âPatriarch Xu, as a False Core Immortal, I wonder if you can handle a few moves from Lu Someone!â
Lu Changshengâs eyes, with purple-gold flames burning within his pupils, exuded a domineering and eerie aura. A sea of flames formed around his body, with a purple-red Thunder Dragon coiling around him, his voice resonating mightily.
âNot good, could this person be a Third Order Body Refiner!!!â
Patriarch Xuâs face was filled with horror. The idea of retreat surged in his heart as he quickly shouted, âDaoist, please stop!!!!â
However, Lu Changsheng had already made his move.
A golden fist, accompanied by a roaring purple-red Thunder Dragon, came straight at him, so bright that it filled Patriarch Xuâs eyes.
âPuchi!â
With the punch, as profound and abyssal as prison itself, accompanied by the hot and tyrannical Thunder Gang Dragon Flame, instantly shattered and melted Patriarch Xuâs body-protecting magic barrier.
Then, with a burst of golden light, the punch, overflowing with endless thunder flames, directly smashed the False Core Immortalâs physical body, leaving a gaping hole in his chest.
âYouâŠâ
Patriarch Xu, his expression filled with shock, looked at Lu Changsheng before him, a sense of unprecedented despair rising in his heart.
âSizzling!â
The next moment, the raging and ferocious Thunder Gang Dragon Flame evaporated Patriarch Xuâs blood, reducing his physical body to charred remains.
âIs this it?â
Lu Changsheng eyed the easily dispatched Patriarch Xu with a sense of unreality.
Weak, too weak!
Truly too weak!
Such strength, even without the use of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, he could have easily crushed his opponent.
However, it was precisely the blessing of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone that rendered the False Core Immortal powerless before him.
Whether it was the Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steed, the effects of magical treasures, or the body-protecting magic barriers, all seemed too fragile to withstand a single blow!
âFalse Core Immortal, is merely so.â
Lu Changsheng said indifferently.
He raised his hand and collected Patriarch Xuâs inner core, storage ring, and treasures into his pouch, then turned his gaze towards the Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steed.
âRoar roar roar!â
The Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steed, seeing its master dead, roared furiously towards Lu Changsheng.
Upon seeing this, Lu Changsheng did not hold back, blasting all nine heads of the steed to their demise.
Indeed, the Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steed was quite remarkable.
Not only could it serve as a combat power but also as a means of transportation.
But the steed had clearly been kept by Patriarch Xu all along, making taming it quite troublesome.
Even if it were tamed, he currently could not use it before others, only to be raised slowly.
Yet, the expenditure for keeping a Second Order Monster Beast was not a small overhead. It was better to just kill it.
Having accomplished this, Lu Changsheng collected the carcasses of the Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steed into his storage bag.
The flames around his body gradually dissipated, and the terrifying spiritual pressure receded like the tide, as he returned to his own Spirit Boat.
At this time, Lu Pingâan and Lu Quanzhen on the Spirit Boat were still dumbfounded, motionless.
It was too astounding!
The scene from just now was simply too shocking.
A single punch!
Defeated in an instant?
My father defeated a False Core Immortal with one punch!
The brothers were utterly bewildered, at a total loss for words to describe their current feelings.
It was beyond their wildest dreams!
They knew their father was formidable and usually kept his skill hidden.
But they never imagined it to this extent!
And wasnât their fatherâs greatest strength supposed to be the Talisman Path?
How could he be so ferocious in body refinement?
And that intense, overbearing, and incredibly violent purple-red flame!
Even after the fight was over, they could still feel a wave of scorching heat in the air.
âAs Cultivators, one should remain unfazed even if the sky dome collapses before them and remain calm even if dragons and phoenixes appear behind them. If you get worked up over such trivial matters, how will you achieve greatness in the future?â
Lu Changsheng looked at his two sons acting this way and calmly instructed them not to make a fuss.
â???â
The two brothers looked at their father.
You call this a trivial matter?
But upon reflection, what their father said didnât seem wrong.
After all, a battle resolved with a single punch was indeed a trivial matter.
Certainly, when Patriarch Xu had come to attack, their father had remained calm and assured, indicating that he was in control.
âWhat father says is true.â
Lu Pingâan immediately showed an embarrassed expression, accepting the lesson.
He believed his mindset was indeed insufficient.
During the confrontation with Qin Yi in the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, his mentality was shaken.
And just now, he had been stunned into inaction.
Such distractions could cost one their life in a fight to the death.
Lu Quanzhen was still a bit muddled and only nodded without speaking.
Because he truly did not know what to say.
The shock of the situation was too great for him, finding his father a bit unfamiliar.
It was hard to imagine that his father, with a Low Quality Spiritual Root and usually lazy demeanor, possessed such astonishing battle strength and force!
âAfter we return home, I will explain to you.â
Lu Changsheng, seeing that his sons were still troubled, patted their shoulders and spoke.
Then, he steered the Spirit Boat and transformed into a beam of Escape Light, flying swiftly into the mountain range on the right.
They had just left Ziyun Gorge not long ago, and it was easy to attract the attention of others with the recent noise.
Therefore, he had to find a place to reorganize and check the situation to avoid being targeted.
Shortly after Lu Changsheng left, several figures looked over in this direction.
âWhat just happened?â
âSuch a formidable display of power, could it be Nascent Soul Immortals fighting?â
âWhy did the battle end so quickly?â
âI think I saw Patriarch Xu just now.â
âPatriarch Xu left in a hurry earlier. It seems that all the Clan Cultivators died in the Secret Realm. Could it be related to this?â
âBeast Taming Xu Family is one of the top-tier forces in Jiang Countryâs Cultivation Realm. How could such a thing happen? Could it be targeted by the Four Great Immortal Sects?â
âDaoist friend, you shouldnât say such things.â
After a few whispers, several Foundation Establishment Cultivators did not dare to linger longer and quickly left.
After all, they had just exited Ziyun Gorge and felt a frightening pressure ahead. They passed by to take a look, not wanting to get overly involved.
