Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 67 Foundation Establishment Battle!

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the mountain next to the small cave, and crows that had been roosting in the distance took flight like dark clouds.

The Lu family cultivators beside the jade boat staggered, and those closest to the mountain were so shaken that they coughed up blood.

Although Chen Hongming and other members of the Chen family were also greatly shaken, they recovered instantly thanks to the protective shield.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Hongming urged the airship to move away from the explosion site.

The speed at which Chen Qian threw the spirit stone bomb far exceeded the muzzle velocity of a bullet from a heavy sniper rifle on Blue Star.

Even at this speed, if the two Foundation Establishment cultivators inside the cave hadn't been distracted by Chen Ruiang in the air, they would have been able to intercept the spirit stone bomb as soon as it entered their spiritual sense range.

If the explosion had not occurred within the small hole but only at the entrance, Lu Zhengting and Zhou Libo would at most suffer a strong shock to their consciousness, but their bodies would not have been damaged in any way.

All I can say is that Chen Qian really knows how to time things.

Seeing that Chen Ruiang's sword light was about to pierce through Zhou Libo, Lu Zhengting couldn't bother to analyze the situation of the explosion. He could only quickly activate the Xuanjia Talisman. The green pearl in his hand emitted countless green lights, which condensed into a light screen to protect Zhou Libo behind him.

He absolutely could not let Zhou Libo die like this.

Otherwise, the Lu-Zhou-Wu alliance would suffer a significant loss of strength, and the situation would become even more difficult.

This green orb is his natal spiritual artifact. After years of refinement and nurturing, it has become one with his mind and spirit, and its power has reached its maximum.

He himself cultivated wood-based techniques, and his magical power was extremely resilient. Therefore, even the protective light barrier that was hastily condensed reduced most of Chen Ruiang's attack power.

Both the light screen and Zhou Libo were stabbed through the heart, but Zhou Libo was only seriously injured and did not die.

Despite the excruciating pain, he managed to muster a sliver of divine consciousness. Blood spurted from his seven orifices as he forcefully formed hand seals, and a blood-red talisman flew out from his bosom—the "Blood Escape Talisman" used to save his life.

With only one-tenth of his strength remaining, he was already extremely lucky to have escaped with his life, so he activated the talisman without hesitation.

Chen Ruiang's sword flashed, slashing off the storage bag at his waist and then pocketing it.

Zhou Libo didn't dare to linger. He sent a telepathic message to Lu Zhengting, asking him to take care of the Zhou family members present. Then, he transformed into a streak of blood-red light and quickly disappeared into the sky.

Chen Ruiang didn't hesitate. He turned his sword and continued his fierce attack on Lu Zhengting.

He knew that Wu Yiqian was lurking nearby, ready to pounce. Before Wu Yiqian could react, he needed to cripple Lu Zhengting, which would secure victory in one fell swoop.

Wu Yiqian is indeed in a state of confusion right now.

A violent explosion occurred where Lu Zhengting and his companion were hiding. Immediately afterwards, Chen Ruiang, like a god descending to earth, pierced through Zhou Libo with his sword. All of this happened in an instant.

Zhou Libo used the Blood Escape Talisman to escape, and Chen Ruiang immediately launched a fierce attack on Lu Zhengting, who only then realized what had happened.

Wait, this isn't how it's going to unfold!
Weren't we the ones lying in ambush on Chen Ruiang? How come we've become the ones being ambushed?

Moreover, they suffered heavy losses in an instant, and the battle was almost on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, Lu Zhengting's angry roar came from afar:
"Fellow Daoist Wu! What are you waiting for? Make your move now!"

They couldn't care less about the original strategy anymore; Wu Yiqian was originally tasked with the sneak attack.

Although he still has the strength to fight, he has suffered minor injuries from the direct impact of the explosion.

Another defensive artifact was lost, and the mana was still in a state of disorder.

He could only unleash 70-80% of his full power and had already fallen into a complete disadvantage.

If things continue like this, one wrong move could lead to total defeat.

If Wu Yiqian doesn't come to help soon, things could very well escalate to the worst possible situation.

Wu Yiqian is the patriarch of a family, who has experienced many ups and downs and is a decisive person.

After a moment's consideration, he immediately said to the family disciples around him, "The situation has changed. You must leave immediately and not linger. We will make further plans when I return."

The situation is now unpredictable, and his top priority is still to protect his family members.

For ordinary Foundation Establishment families, those in the late Qi Refining stage are already the backbone of the family, and no one can afford to lose them. The most sensible decision for a family leader is not to seek the greatest number of kills, but to ensure their own safety.

"Yes! I will obey the Ancestor's command!"

The Wu family members quickly released their flying boats, and everyone boarded and fled.

After giving his instructions, he ignored the arrangements for the retreat made by his family members and immediately rushed to the place where Chen Ruiang and Lu Zhengting were fighting.

They were already in the same boat as the Lu family, so naturally they couldn't just stand by and watch Lu Zhengting be killed or seriously injured.

Wu Yiqian cultivates metal-based techniques, and her natal spiritual weapon is a set of twelve flying needles, which are extremely sharp and are used to break through protective qi, making them best suited for sneak attacks.

Although his cultivation level was slightly lower, Chen Ruiang dared not let his guard down in the slightest.

Sure enough, after Wu Yiqian joined, Lu Zhengting quickly regained his composure and was finally able to take out a healing pill and swallow it.

"Old devil Lu! Scoundrel Wu! How dare you set a trap for my Chen family patriarch! I'll beat the shit out of you two!"

Lu Zhengting retorted, "Old Chen, what makes you any better? What was that that exploded just now? And how did you know we were hiding here?"

Chen Ruiang arrived with explosions and flying sword attacks, heading straight for their hiding place without the slightest hesitation.

Hidden in the cave, he couldn't see Chen Ruiang flying over, and his divine sense couldn't reach that far, so he had no idea how the explosive was thrown into the cave.

How did Chen Ruiang find out where they were hiding?
However, he believed that only Chen Ruiang, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, could accomplish all of this, so it was definitely not wrong to blame it all on this old ghost.

My mind is a complete mess, and I feel incredibly frustrated.

Chen Ruiang's sword flashed, and his attacks continued relentlessly.

I'm wondering to myself, who am I supposed to ask?

Chen Yunyi simply told him to attack the place where the explosion occurred with all his might.

As for why it exploded, and what exploded, he was completely baffled.

But that doesn't matter.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you, let alone if I didn't know.

He put on a mysterious expression and laughed:
"Why should I tell you? You'll find out later by asking the King of Hell."

The three were evenly matched for a time, while the battlefield for Foundation Establishment cultivators was naturally in the air.

The battle on the ground had already reached a fever pitch.

Just as Wu Yiqian rushed to the battlefield of Lu and Chen, Chen Qian and Chen Yunyi also launched their attack.

Chen Qian unleashed his top-tier magical artifact, a flying sword enhanced with a lightness technique, and darted straight to the foot of the mountain like a ghost.

Chen Yunyi quickly released Xiaoqing, jumped onto the sparrow's back, and together they pounced on the Lu family members.

Upon seeing his daughter appear, Chen Hongming hurriedly disembarked from the flying boat with the Seventh Elder, Chen Hongqing, to meet her.

There were also five Chen family members at the mid-stage of Qi Refining on the jade boat. They were responsible for controlling the flying boat and attacking the Lu family members from the air, scattering them.

Of the more than twenty members of the Lu family present, about seven or eight were in the late stage of Qi Refining, and the rest were in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

They were originally the stronger ones, but after besieging Qingyu Boat for nearly ten hours, they were already exhausted.

Still reeling from the aftershocks of the explosion, many people were disoriented and confused, unable to comprehend what had happened.

Many people were still unsettled, and some were even so shocked that they vomited blood. With no organization, their fighting capacity was naturally greatly reduced.

Suddenly surrounded on three sides and hit by the flying boats, many people had no choice but to scatter and flee.
