Chapter 964 -345: Crumbling, Beast Taming Xu Family Annihilated!_3 “Boom!” Lu Ping’an’s body shot through the air like a meteor, muscles bulging as he fearlessly hurled his already raised right arm out to meet the approaching black shears, not dodging in the slightest. “Idiot! To think you’d dare to catch our Black Dragon Shears with your flesh and blood!” “Simply courting death!” “Truly, Body Refining has turned his brain to mush!” The five from the Xu Family saw Lu Ping’an’s action and all sneered, scoffed, and looked on with disdain. But the next moment, a golden fist struck out, accompanied by a sound of dragon’s roar and tiger’s howl, clashing directly with the black shears. “Clang!!!” A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering metallic symphony erupted, sparks flying everywhere. The violent, powerful force burst forth from the center of the fist and the shears, violently spreading out, sending rocks and soil from the cliffs rolling down and turning into dust. “This this this!!!” “How is this possible!” “He’s actually clashing fists with the Black Dragon Shears!” The five members of the Xu Family shouted in alarm, their eyes filled with disbelief, horror, and shock. You should know, their Black Dragon Shears were no ordinary artifact! It was a combined Spiritual Artifact bestowed by the old patriarch of their family! Normally, it acted as three top-tier Magic Artifacts, but once combined, it qualified as a Low-Quality Spiritual Artifact! And it wasn’t just any run-of-the-mill production-line Spiritual Artifact; it was a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact with power comparable to a Middle-Grade Spiritual Artifact! The five of them wielding these Black Dragon Shears could engage in battle even with Foundation Establishment Cultivators! But now, Lu Ping’an was confronting their Low-Quality Spiritual Artifact, the Black Dragon Shears, with his fists! “Clang clang clang!!!” Lu Ping’an’s fists were like dragons as he continually hammered down on the black shears, sparks flying, dazzlingly bright, causing the Spiritual Artifact to tremble frantically, its Spiritual Light dimming somewhat. “Daoist, we do not know where we have offended you. If you have already claimed this place, we can leave!” The lead member of the Xu Family shouted, waves of shock and dread rising in his heart. They hadn’t anticipated that not only could Lu Ping’an fend off their Spiritual Artifact with his fists, but he could also dim its Spiritual Light. This! This! This! They couldn’t comprehend how such a humanoid fierce beast could appear inside the Purple Shadow Secret Realm! Who could refine their Body Cultivation to such a degree when their Cultivation Level was only at the Eighth Level of Energy Refinement! “Boom boom boom!” Lu Ping’an remained silent, continuing to punch out, with the sound of clanging resonating in all directions, echoes upon echoes, as rocks and chunks of earth rolled and shattered. “Daoist, we are from the Beast Taming Xu Family of Jiang Country. Could there be some misunderstanding between us!” Another member of the Xu Family continued to shout out. Although they could guess why Lu Ping’an was attacking, they really didn’t want to continue the battle against such a Body Refining Cultivator. After all, entering the Secret Realm was for the purpose of seeking opportunities; there was no need to fight to the death. If both sides were harmed, neither would gain any benefit. Seeing Lu Ping’an remain silent as he threw another punch, shattering the Black Dragon Shears and dimming its light, anger flashed in the eyes of the few Xu Family Cultivators. “Daoist, do you really wish for both fish and net to be destroyed!” “Although your Body Refining is profound, killing all of us alone will come at a price!” The five Xu Family Cultivators shouted out loud. They were from the Xu Family, one of the top forces in Jiang Country! Ten people had entered the Secret Realm, and only at the start had one of them been killed by someone for some unknown reason. The remaining nine had traveled together, divided into two groups, with hardly anyone daring to provoke them. Now, faced with Lu Ping’an’s challenge, they were naturally filled with anger. “Kill!” Seeing this, the five realized that it would be difficult to resolve the situation peacefully and thus attacked with all their might, intending to make Lu Ping’an pay a price and retreat. They formed a Battle Formation, controlling the Black Dragon Shears, and simultaneously commanded their Spiritual Pets to kill Lu Ping’an from the flank. One of them also distractedly threw out several Talismans, bombarding Lu Ping’an. Yet against such an onslaught, Lu Ping’an remained fearless, merely turning his head to look at the tiger-like Spiritual Beast pouncing at him and spinning around to land a punch. His fist thundered like a drum beaten by gods and demons, breaking through the layers of air with a “boom,” tearing the massive body of the tiger apart, blood spraying everywhere. The Talismans and Techniques of the other four Spiritual Beasts fell upon Lu Ping’an’s body, causing a series of violent explosions, but they did not inflict any substantial damage. “This!?” The five were horrified to see Lu Ping’an’s Body Refinement to be astonishingly resilient without any weaknesses. Not only could his physical strength clash with the Black Dragon Shears, but his body also completely ignored their Technique attacks. How could they fight against this? With what could they even fight!? “Open Mountain!” Lu Ping’an’s energy surged powerfully, treasure light flowing around his body, golden radiance entwining his form, dazzling like a layer of Golden Battle Armor. His right arm soared like a dragon-snake rising from the ground, Roll Roll with momentum, and behind him loomed a magnificent giant axe. The void thundered, and as he punched out, his Force exploded, causing endless sounds of air being shattered. The giant axe, following his punch, descended from the Sky Dome, unleashing an infinitely terrifying Fierce Power, causing the dimmed Black Dragon Shears to cry out sadly as they were sent flying, crashing directly into the Defense Formation of the five. “Boom boom boom!” It was as if the overwhelming force was vast like a prison, causing the Defense Formation to become dim, cracking densely, with the five inside shaken in Qi and blood, pale-faced, spitting out blood. “Damn it, damn it, damn it!” At this moment, the members of the Xu Family felt as if they were shrouded in a thick cloud of death, their hearts sinking into despair! Yes, despair! Because in this exchange, they no longer knew how to fight! They could not even breach Lu Ping’an’s Defense. “Go!” The five exchanged glances, ready to use life-saving measures to flee for their lives. Only then might they have a sliver of a chance! In an instant, they abandoned their four Spiritual Pets, charging at Lu Ping’an to take the lead and using this method to buy time.
