Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family-Chapter 1047 - 230: Self-destructing Magical Treasures, Chase for Three Thousand Miles! (2)
Ling Zixiao had not expected the other party to agree outright.
Negotiations are, after all, a game of strategy between two sides.
Once the other party is suppressed, terms can be discussed at leisure.
In her words, a Third Rank Talisman merged into the Formation and charged towards Patriarch Sima.
"Boom!"
This assault from the Talisman shattered the bowl-like magical shield above Patriarch Sima’s head, scorching his flesh and tearing his magical robe.
"Clang!"
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Ping’an threw a golden punch with ferocious power, causing the Leveling Ruler before him to quiver and sending Patriarch Sima’s internal mana and qi-blood surging, spurting a trace of blood from his mouth.
"Buzzing—"
At this moment, a dense frost surged within the Talisman Formation, and vines stretched toward Patriarch Sima, intent on suppressing him. Ads by PubFuture
"The Sima Family is willing to offer three hundred thousand Spirit Stones and a Spirit Land!"
Patriarch Sima formed gesture incantations with both hands, and summoned a turtle shell magical treasure, creating a magical shield, while the Leveling Ruler in front of him pulsed with dark light and overwhelming force, he shouted loudly.
Ling Zixiao stood tall, her skirts fluttering, unfazed, continuing her hand gestures with an imposing aura.
"And add three more upper-class shops."
Although Patriarch Sima was conceding, his aura was not any weaker, exuding the dignity of a superior.
"Not enough!"
Ling Zixiao’s expression was calm, her presence arrogant and peerless.
Lu Ruyi, Lu Lingxiao, and others on the side watched with trepidation.
This was a high and mighty False Core Immortal.
The opponent had already shown weakness, yet her aunt, her mother, was still so imperious and unyielding.
However, as Lu Lingxiao watched his mother’s strong and imperious demeanor, looking down on all, he didn’t know why, but a subtle excitement bloomed in his heart, as if a seed was sprouting.
He felt that a great man should be just like this!
"False Core Immortals, is that all they are!"
With a faint golden gleam in his pupils, Lu Lingxiao gazed at Patriarch Sima within the Formation and suddenly felt that False Core Immortals were not that remarkable.
Even Nascent Soul Immortals and Core Formation Masters were merely a few levels higher in Cultivation Realm than he was.
He would surpass them one day!
Why should he feel they are lofty and untouchable or feel fear and awe just because their Cultivation Realm is higher?
"It’s easy to break a thief in the mountains, but hard to break a thief in the heart!"
Lu Lingxiao murmured to himself as he remembered something his Master had once said.
Cultivation is about cultivating the mind.
Sometimes, the strength of the spirit is more important than the level of cultivation!
One can respect high-rank cultivators, but must not fear them.
As thoughts swirled in his mind, Lu Lingxiao unexpectedly felt his Dragon Roar Physique stir inexplicably, activating the "Vermilion Bird Sky-Scorching Art."
"Your Bihu Mountain is insatiable, thinking you’ve got me pinned down!"
"Today, this old man will self-destruct my core;no one will get off easily!"
Patriarch Sima was aware that the initiative was in Ling Zixiao’s hands and that he had no bargaining power at all.

Immediately, his face twisted into a ferocious snarl, as a terrifying might burst forth from his body like a rising sun.
"Ping’an, be careful!"
Ling Zixiao’s calm and indifferent face changed slightly, not daring to gamble whether the opponent really intended to self-destruct his Core Formation.
He immediately performed a Gesture Incantation, making the Talisman Formation display a sky-covering defensive stance.
At this moment, Lu Ping’an also activated a Third-Order Defense Talisman from within his chest.
"A Third Rank Talisman!"
Patriarch Sima’s eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing Lu Ping’an’s actions, a hint of regret in his eyes.
Following that, his eyes showed a ferocious light, causing the jet-black, dazzling ruler in front of him to explode like a dark sun.
He did not self-destruct his False Core.
Instead, he chose to detonate the Magic Treasure ’Leveling Ruler’!
As a False Core Immortal, a venerable elder, would he really self-destruct his Core Formation together with a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators, perishing together!?
"Boom"
The blinding black light flooded the Talisman Formation, and even with the protection of the Third Rank Defense Talisman, Lu Ping’an kept retreating, summoning a defensive Magic Artifact.
Ling Zixiao hurriedly manipulated the Array Plate, sealing and suppressing this terrifying power.
By his side, Lu Lingxiao, Lu Ruyi, and Zhou Datong also took action, trying their best to block the mana shockwaves leaking from the Formation.
"Whoo whoo whoo"
"Cough cough cough"
Even with the shockwaves suppressed by Lu Ping’an, Ling Zixiao, Lu Lingxiao, and the others, the commotion still caused the merchant caravan’s pack animals and Lu Family Disciples to churn with Qi-Blood, their faces turning pale.
"Such might, it’s terrifying to this extent!"
"The one battling Lu Ping’an is indeed the Sima Family’s False Core Patriarch!"
"A venerable False Core Patriarch has been pushed to such a state by the Lu Family!"
"The Lu Family laid out the Formation in advance and even had a Talisman Formation at hand, predicting that a False Core Immortal from the Sima Family would come."
"It seems that the Sima Sijie met their end at the hands of the Lu Family, otherwise, the Sima Family’s False Core Immortal would not have easily taken action!"
"Who would have thought that apart from being proficient in Formations, this Ling Zixiao also understands the art of Talisman Formations."
"What’s more, Lu Ping’an has hidden his capabilities too well, his Body Refinement is actually strong enough to withstand a battle with a False Core Immortal!"
Observing cultivators from afar were all astonished and emotional in their hearts.
If not for witnessing it with their own eyes, they would hardly believe the rumors that Lu Ping’an, who was only at the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage in terms of fighting power, was able to stand against a False Core Immortal.
"Boom boom boom"
At this moment, the Talisman Formation was riddled with holes due to the might of the Magic Treasure.
"Go!"
Patriarch Sima’s face was pale, his breath weak, as he grabbed Sima Tai inside the Bronze Bell, looked at the shattered Talisman Formation, and transformed into a Divine Rainbow that shot out.
The self-destruction of the Magic Treasure was indeed astounding, successfully breaking through the Talisman Formation.
But the Leveling Ruler was his Life-bound Magic Treasure.
Its self-destruction also severely damaged his vital energy, wounding him to the core.
"Thinking of escaping!"
Ling Zixiao, who was currently in control of the Great Formation, immediately signaled the Thousand Faces Puppet Fox to take action.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, as Patriarch Sima who had just broken through the Talisman Formation felt as if a Blunt Knife was chopping at his mind, his Mental Spirit violently trembled, and he was thrown into a daze.
