Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1781: 453: A Wu, Blast It for Me!

"Are those seven flying swords all Third Rank? How can he possess such wealth immediately after reaching Core Formation?"

"What? Seven Third Rank flying swords? It took me four years of grueling effort after my Foundation Establishment breakthrough just to acquire my very first Spiritual Artifact!"

"This individual is a monstrous talent, a Nascent Soul Seed of the Jinyang Sect. With the conflict between Yue Country and Liang Country raging, they are likely pouring every available resource into his Cultivation!"

As Lu Qingshan struck, the onlookers were once again gripped by shock, their voices filled with awe and disbelief.

The sword cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Sect were particularly affected.

Their own Lifebound Flying Swords shuddered under the pressure of Lu Qingshan’s Sky-reaching Sword Intent. They understood better than anyone the terrifying nature of his sword dao: it was sharp beyond measure and utterly relentless!

"The combined divine skill of the formidable Changsheng True Master and Miao Ge True Man is truly impressive. With such a balance of offense and defense, there are likely very few within the same rank who could hope to breach it."

"Then there is Lu Qingshan. Provided he does not meet an early end and continues as City Lord, the future Heavenly Talisman Lu Family might truly enjoy a life of lasting peace..."

The False Core Immortals representing the Four Great Immortal Sects possessed keen insight. Observing Lu Changsheng and his kin, they spoke with solemn expressions, sharing their deep impressions.

While the crowd hummed with discussion, Hong Lian, positioned within the City Lord Mansion, executed a series of hand incantations. She shifted the Celestial City Formation from its defensive state into an aggressive offensive posture.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

The spiritual radiance of the Celestial City Formation surged and intertwined. Vast amounts of water vapor billowed as the formation tapped into the local water veins. Massive waves rose, reshaping themselves into roaring water dragons that lunged toward the three remaining Demon Kings.

Simultaneously, thick bolts of Gui Water Divine Thunder condensed above the formation, crashing down upon the beast tide and the Demon Kings with earth-shattering booms.

Previously, when facing six Demon Kings and the relentless beast tide, the Third Rank Taboo Formation of Great Dream Immortal City could do little more than hold its ground.

However, now that the Furious Sea Lance Shark and the Eight-Legged Demon Fish had been forced into retreat by Lu Changsheng and the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, the pressure on the formation had vanished. It could now focus entirely on striking the Demon Kings.

"A Third Rank Array Master is definitely the one steering the Celestial City Formation!"

Noticing the shift in the formation's behavior, several observers immediately deduced the truth and spoke in hushed tones.

"It must be the City Lord’s Wife at the helm."

"It is no wonder the Great Dream City Lord was bold enough to let his Foundation Establishment son handle the Celestial City Formation; a Third Rank Array Master is clearly supervising from the shadows."

"Ah, being born to the right parents is a true blessing. When I walked the path of formations, I spent thirty-eight years as an apprentice serving tea and water just for a chance to touch a formation and sense its laws. Yet these youths can control a Third Rank Formation and experience its inner workings so easily."

"To face a beast tide and Third Rank Demon Kings while still in the Foundation Establishment Stage... such invaluable experience is something I might never encounter in my entire life!"

Even though Hong Lian remained out of sight, many correctly guessed that she was the one currently directing the formation.

The Celestial City Formation was of paramount importance, after all.

Unless it was someone of absolute trust, no one would venture out to battle demons while leaving the city's heart in another's hands.

With the tide of battle turning, the anxiety in many hearts began to fade, replaced by a desire to observe and discuss this high-level combat.

Still, as they watched Lu Lingxiao standing proudly atop the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, many felt a pang of envy, realizing that having elite parents was a shortcut to greatness.

"Boom boom boom—"

Against a Third Rank Early Stage Demon King, the Three Treasures Incarnation and Lu Miaoge were unable to secure a quick victory. However, with Lu Qingshan acting as a vanguard and deploying his sword array, they quickly forced the Demon King into a desperate retreat, leaving it wailing in pain.

Another Demon King attempted to intervene, but with Hong Lian steering the formation, it was blocked from getting close enough to disrupt the trio.

Even Lu Qingshan sensed the coordination, realizing the Celestial City Formation seemed to be intentionally creating openings for his family to demonstrate their prowess.

"Give it your all," Lu Changsheng sent a mental message to Lu Qingshan.

He didn't mind his son taking the spotlight. To the world, his identity as Changsheng True Master was that of a talisman cultivator; performing competently was enough, there was no need to appear overly dominant.

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan summoned the Heavenly Circulation Starry Sword. A torrential rain of thousands of starlight swords descended, merging with the sword array to hack at the trapped Third Rank Demon King. He was preparing to claim his second Demon King kill.

"Heavens, when it comes to raw lethality, sword cultivators truly stand alone."

"It is hard to believe Lu Qingshan only recently reached the Core Formation stage."

"But why hasn't Changsheng True Master utilized his Talisman Formation? Isn't that his renowned technique?"

"A Third Rank talisman cultivator burns through Third Rank talismans with every move; few can afford such a cost. Since the pressure has lessened, there is no reason for him to waste them."

"The City Lord is incredibly powerful! He is suppressing two Third Rank Late Stage Demon Kings all by himself!"

While the discussions continued, Lu Changsheng and the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale had cornered the Eight-Legged Demon Fish, forcing it into a piteous state.

The massive whale bit through one of the demon fish's tentacles, causing black, ink-like blood to spill into the sea. The fluid was highly corrosive, dissolving many of the lower-ranked beasts nearby.

"Woowoowoo!"

Under the crushing weight of the Five Elements Divine Mountain and the relentless attacks of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, the Eight-Legged Demon Fish and the Furious Sea Lance Shark howled in agony.

"Where is the Fourth Rank Demon King? Why hasn't it appeared yet?"

Lu Changsheng’s brow furrowed as he watched the two Demon Kings before him.

Throughout the entire engagement, he had remained vigilant, waiting for the hidden Fourth Rank threat to reveal itself.

Yet, there had been no sign of it until now.

Suddenly, his Taiyi Divine Soul within his Sea of Consciousness vibrated violently. Sensing a terrifying presence, he snapped his gaze toward the sky.

High above, the clouds had vanished at some unknown moment, leaving the heavens unnaturally clear and bright.

The serene sky stood in jarring contrast to the blood-soaked chaos of the Great Dream Marsh below.

Lu Changsheng immediately realized something was wrong.

It was far too quiet!

Normally, the clashing of demonic Qi and powerful mana would warp the weather, yet the sky above remained eerily undisturbed.
