WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again!

Chapter 324

“Ah!”

Gu Ping’s anguished cry echoed, but he was soon silenced by his own blood, unable even to scream.

His mind was equally stunned, having no chance to feel fear in the midst of the chaos. Because his thoughts were a blank slate, he couldn’t comprehend what had just occurred. Li Su’s sudden palm strike had left him severely injured, with his Nascent Soul on the verge of dispersing.

This abrupt turn of events caught the attention of the two Refinement stage cultivators behind him. Lu Huai’an, a Nascent stage pinnacle cultivator, revealed a profoundly serious expression in his eyes.

Surprisingly, with his formidable strength, Lu Huai’an had failed to detect Li Su’s arrival. Who was Li Su? At this point, Li Su’s aura hadn’t manifested, but Lu Huai’an’s gaze betrayed signs of uncertainty and surprise.

“Who are you?” Lu Huai’an questioned sternly, withholding immediate action as this mission was not at the behest of the Purple Gold Saint.

Instead, a powerful figure behind the Purple Gold Saint had conveyed the message. Otherwise, being the genius he was, Lu Huai’an might not have heeded the request from the Purple Gold Saint.

“I am Li Su,” came the calm reply.

“Are you from the Returning Origin Sect? I am acting on someone’s behalf. If you release him and step aside, this matter will be forgiven. What do you say?” Lu Huai’an proposed, his tone serious.

Evidently, Lu Huai’an hadn’t heard of Li Su’s name.

“Is that so?” Li Su replied, maintaining his composure. The sect leader’s unexpected strength, coupled with the exquisite magical treasures he crafted for her, allowed them to withstand an enemy force twice their size.

Among the six Refinement stage cultivators, two were in the middle phase, and the rest were in the late phase. The sect leader’s uncles possessed formidable strength, with one in the late phase and the other at the sixth layer of the Refinement stage.

Initially challenging with a two-against-five scenario, the sect leaders’ entrance and their coordinated efforts made it impossible for the six refinement stage cultivators to overcome the three of them in the short term.

The sect leader, having built her Refinement, was considered unrivaled among her peers during this stage, though slightly weaker than Li Su. In comparison to other cultivators, she was significantly stronger.

Observing her resilience, Li Su remained unruffled. This allowed the sect leader to gain valuable combat experience and further solidify her cultivation.

Li Su’s response left the talented Refinement stage cultivator, Lu Huai’an, somewhat embarrassed. After all, he was a talent who could withstand several attacks from the Fusion forces of the Demon Sect. If he didn’t feel that Li Su was from the Returning Origin Sect and was uncertain about Li Su’s true strength, he wouldn’t have such a good attitude.

“I apologize for my earlier actions,” Lu Huai’an said. It was clear that he had to take action now.

This time, under the trust of others, I must perform my duty faithfully. After saying this, his aura suddenly surged. The aura belonging to the pinnacle of the Refinement Void soared to the heavens. At the same time, in the sky, a fierce thunderbolt suddenly burst out. He practiced thunder magic because he possessed the Thunder Spirit Root.

The cultivation of Thunder Spirit Root accelerated progress in Thunder-based techniques, enhancing the potency of Thunder-related spells.

As the thunderbolt approached Li Su, he shifted his gaze from the sect leader and abruptly struck with his palm.

“Ashen!”

What followed was the thunderbolt upon Li Su’s palm, being forcefully dispersed.

The force of that palm hadn’t yet ceased, and an unseen giant palm struck towards Lu Huai’an.

Lu Huai’an’s expression changed. Although Li Su hadn’t fully unleashed his aura like him, he sensed the change in Li Su’s aura.

This was…

Fusion!

Otherwise, who in Refinement Void would be so audacious as to use this method to disperse his attacks?

To think that the Returning Origin Sect had actually given birth to a Fusion cultivator!

He wasn’t surprised, as he had no idea who Li Su was. Fusion, while powerful, was not that rare in the sacred land.

However, Lu Huai’an’s temper flared up almost immediately. Even if he was a fusion stage cultivator, he was too arrogant to respond to his genius-level attacks in such a manner.

He had once battled against a Fusion being of the Demon Sect!

Moreover, his mission was only to intercept the Returning Origin Sect’s people, and he didn’t want to engage in a real war with them, so he definitely hadn’t used his full strength in his first attack.

As he saw Li Su’s palm approaching him, the true essence within Lu Huai’an’s body boiled. He unleashed an even more formidable thunderbolt. Being a genius, his spellcasting speed was exceptionally rapid.

For an ordinary Refinement Void cultivator, there wouldn’t have been enough time to deliver a second attack in such a short span.

The mobilization of true essence ultimately transformed into a spell, and this also took time.

The shorter one’s time was, the more advantageous they were in battle. In evenly matched combat, this time became extremely crucial.

“Ashen!”

But the thunderbolt soon discovered that Li Su’s attack had come again.

Then, in a deafening collision, Lu Huai’an’s thunderbolt was once again shattered by Li Su.

“Oh no!”

Lu Huai’an’s eyes narrowed as he managed to activate a defensive magic artifact just in time, but Li Su’s invisible giant palm still struck him.

Although the consecutive thunderbolts had considerably reduced the power of the attack, this blow still sent Lu Huai’an flying for over a hundred miles before he finally stabilized his form.

His true essence surged within him, and if he hadn’t forcibly suppressed it, he might have coughed up blood.
