Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: The Divine Might of the Iron Pillar

Lu Hongchang and Chen Mo triggered the array, and a transparent light screen instantly enveloped the entire battle platform.

“Kill!”

Chen Wuluo’s heart was already burning with fury, and he couldn’t help but make the first move with all his strength.

A splendid sword light descended from the void, slashing towards Lu Li like a roaming dragon.

The sword qi howled through the air, emitting an extremely sharp aura, causing the surrounding array to start fluctuating.

In just an instant,

the flying sword reached in front of Lu Li.

Lu Li did not panic; Aminokaze soared up to meet the flying sword overhead.

With mana running at full force, a pale sword light breathed at the tip of the sword, conveying a sense of overwhelming dominance.

“Boom!”

A loud collision thundered through the skies, and the two flying swords each recoiled backwards.

Chaotic sword qi splattered wildly as the array’s light screen began to tremble uncontrollably.

This exchange of blows was surprisingly dead even!

The people from the Chen Family below all looked incredulous.

Chen Wuluo, their clan’s top Foundation Establishment Seed, was only young yet already at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.

The fact that this person could match Chen Wuluo without falling behind made them feel a sense of foreboding.

“Could there be an upset this time?”

Although the Chen Family had prepared very well, Chen Mo couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious.

On the other hand, the Lu Family’s people were visibly elated, with Lu Qingqing and Lu Yuling looking at Lu Li with continued amazement.

The surprises he had given them over the past few days were so great that they had become somewhat numb.

“Could there really be a chance to take first place?”

The two exchanged glances, unexpectedly filled with anticipation.

The cultivators of the Wang and Lin families looked on enviously at Lu Hongchang and Lu Yuting.

Who would have thought that the Lu Family, on the brink of decline, could have such a person emerge?

On the battle platform.

Seeing the even match, Chen Wuluo felt as if he had suffered a great insult.

His face turned beet red, and his heart was ablaze with anger.

He, Chen Wuluo, possessed superior talents and was expected to reach the Purple Mansion level in the future, yet he couldn’t gain the upper hand against mere vermin—this was an unbearable humiliation.

“Die!”

Chen Wuluo roared, his flying sword transforming into a huge dragon-shaped phantom, lunging at Lu Li.

He had exerted all his tricks with this strike.

“Hmph! All bark and no bite.”

Lu Li snorted coldly, his sword light trembling and instantly splitting into twelve sword shadows, forming a huge Sword Array that enveloped the dragon phantom.

The fierce sword qi surged like waves through the void.

Strikes of sword qi pounded on the dragon phantom, emitting a series of piercing screams.

Chen Wuluo struggled to control the phantom, flusteringly trying to break free from the Sword Array but was unable to escape.

A massive wave of frustration washed over him as he realized that the other’s mana was not inferior to his.

With each exchange, he felt a powerful surge of mana emanating from the opponent’s sword.

He had significantly held back against Chen Tianqi!

Chen Wuluo knew that if things continued this way, he risked capsizing in the gutter.

He held nothing back, releasing his spirit beast immediately.

A large wolf-shaped Demon Beast appeared on the battle platform.

Its white fur was like snow, and its presence was majestic and imposing.

“Owoooo…”

The white wolf unleashed a series of roars upon arrival, its potent Demon Energy intimidating the entire arena.

As soon as the Demon Beast appeared, the Chen Family below revealed a confidence in their impending victory.

Chen Mo’s face bore a cold smirk, thinking that while the Lu Family’s man was somewhat unexpected, it didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.

In contrast, the Lu Family grew worried.

Lu Qingqing and Lu Yuling exchanged looks; although they knew Lu Li had a Beast King, they did not know its strength and whether it could cope with this Demon Beast.

Their confidence waned.

The cultivators from the other two families simply enjoyed the show, indifferent to whoever won or lost.

Just then, the platform underwent a sudden change.

Lu Li slapped the Spiritual Beast Bag.

A huge python emerged onto the battle platform, issuing a series of hissing sounds.

The python, several zhang high with a body as thick as a barrel, was jet-black with many white stripes, exuding an air of nobility.

Upon its arrival, it unleashed a powerful Aura of the Blood Fiend, and the Qi Cultivation at the ninth level radiated uninhibitedly.

“`

Iron Pillar made his entrance, his pair of eyes icy to the extreme as they fixed on the Demon Wolf opposite him, his aura not the least bit inferior.

Clearly cooped up in the Spiritual Beast Bag for too long, he seemed eager to engage in a fierce battle immediately.

Lu Li stood beside Iron Pillar, a mocking expression on his face.

“Do you think your Chen Family is the only one with a spirit beast?”

Chen Wuluo tensed up upon seeing this scene.

He sensed a hint of the Foundation Establishment aura on this demon python, which made his heart skip a beat.

Obviously, the opponent couldn’t possibly be a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast. There was only one other possibility.

This demon had devoured the Essence Blood of a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast!

The old ghost of the Lu Family really had some tricks up his sleeve.

In an instant, Chen Wuluo thought he had figured it all out.

He was aware of the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast of the Lu Family, the Green Spirit Python, and never expected the Lu Family Ancestor to take such a bold step.

“This is troublesome.”

Chen Wuluo’s face was extremely unsightly.

Below the stage, Chen Mo was shocked, somewhat in disbelief.

“Is the Lu Family Ancestor not planning to buy Foundation Establishment Pills anymore?”

For this Demon Beast to grow to such a level in a short period of time, tens of thousands of Spirit Stones would be essential.

A deep concern rose in his heart as their plan seemed to clash with the actions of the Lu Family Ancestor.

In contrast, the members of the Lu Family first showed surprise, then a surge of immense joy appeared on their faces.

The Lu Family unexpectedly had a chance to seize the first place, and everyone shared in the honor.

Lu Qingqing and Lu Yuling also showed faces brimming with excitement.

Even Lu Yuting and Lu Hongchang were somewhat taken aback.

Though they knew that Lu Li had a contingency plan, they didn’t expect it to be so astonishing.

Even the cultivators from the Lin and Wang families, observing from the sidelines, were shocked.

The battle took a surprising turn, full of twists and turns.

On the stage, Chen Wuluo took a deep breath.

“Boy, even if this demon has consumed the Essence Blood of a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, it’s still no match for my Moon Howling Wolf,” he said.

“I’ll show you what an insurmountable chasm is.”

“Qi Cultivation at the ninth level and Qi Cultivation at the tenth level are completely different things!”

However, the response he received was only one word.

“Kill!”

At Lu Li’s command, Iron Pillar ferociously charged toward the Moon Howling Wolf.

Before even getting close, it lashed out with its tail, sweeping with a formidable aura of malevolence.

Because of years of battling in the deep sea, Iron Pillar was not only experienced in combat, but his body was also enveloped in the Aura of the Blood Fiend, which daunted opponents before even fighting.

Sensing the malign aura of Iron Pillar, the Moon Howling Wolf showed a trace of fear in its eyes.

Urged by its master, it too charged forward, leaping into the air and striking out with its massive demon claw, as if a mountain was pressing down.

“Boom…”

In an instant, the two beasts collided.

A tremendous crash resounded as both creatures retreated.

Iron Pillar was knocked back seven or eight meters, while the Moon Howling Wolf was actually pushed back more than ten meters.

The wild Demon Energy scattered unrestrainedly, causing the surrounding Spiritual Energy Shield to tremble violently.

“Not good, the Array is struggling to hold!”

The crowd watching below was horrified.

The four clan elders hastily joined forces to reinforce the Array.

It was only with the intervention of these individuals that the Array gradually stabilized.

Seeing this, Chen Wuluo’s heart sank.

The demon actually had the upper hand—could the Essence Blood of a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast be so formidable?

“Ah…”

He roared in his heart, frustrated and unwilling, commanding the Moon Howling Wolf to attack once again.

Iron Pillar, not showing any weakness, lifted its massive tail and swept it towards the claw of the Moon Howling Wolf, the air crackling with the sounds of its strikes.

“Boom…”

Once again, the beasts were locked in fierce combat.

For a time, the stage was ravaged by Demon Energy, the battle reaching a frantic state.

Those watching below increased their output of Mana to stabilize the Array.

As time slowly passed…

The Demon Wolf gradually started losing ground.

Iron Pillar’s combat experience was extremely rich, not something the opponent could match, and besides, it was a Demon Beast King; its strength was not inferior to its foe.

Iron Pillar’s body leaned to the right, dodging the Demon Wolf’s swipe, then swept its tail toward the Demon Wolf’s belly. The opponent failed to evade in time and was flung tens of meters away, crashing hard against the Array Light Screen.
