Chapter 2119: Chapter 701: What Is the Lu Family’s Purpose This Time? (Part 3) Just like this, after the two were stalemated for a quarter of an hour, Lu Wangshu lightly tapped the storage bag, and four metal puppets with a deep luster all over appeared. "Puppets, four Second Rank Puppets!" Someone immediately exclaimed in surprise. "Actually using puppets, five against one, there’s really no contest." "This Lu Fairy, as a Talisman Master, is very dangerous if anyone gets close, so using puppets for protection is understandable." "These puppets should have reached Second Rank Superior Grade, right? Really wealthy." "Nonsense, she’s a Talisman Master herself, with parents who are Nascent Soul Immortals, how can she lack money? Maybe there are Third Rank Talismans, Third Rank Puppets in that storage bag." Many cultivators looked at Lu Wangshu on the arena, with her flowing robe, stunning beauty, and elegant temperament, filled with envy and jealousy. After all, she not only has excellent talent and looks, but also belongs to the top tier of family background, making others envious. "Divine Thunder Saber Art!" Shangguan Poyun had seen Lu Wangshu’s puppet and talisman techniques, knowing he couldn’t break her defensive formation, making it impossible to defeat her. Thus, in this moment, he didn’t hold back at all, his whole body exploded with saber intent, the thunder blade in his hand burst violently, as if heavenly thunder drew earth fire, expanding two or three zhang long, his whole aura directly threatening a False Core Cultivator! Facing such a formation, Lu Wangshu dared not hold back anymore. She sorrowfully controlled her puppet to charge forward, and then the talismans arranged in the air trembled, all shooting out together. "Crash——" At the same time, she shook the bright white jade bowl wrist string, and radiant light bloomed. This wrist string, as a top-level exotic treasure, hadn’t exerted its full power before. At this moment, under her full exertion, even Shangguan Poyun, with his will as a saber cultivator, was slightly distracted, and his mana became somewhat chaotic. As an opportunity gap appeared, Lu Wangshu immediately made a gesture incantation with both hands, continuously condensing void talismans, forming a certain formation, flying out to suppress Shangguan Poyun. "Boom Boom Boom!" Shangguan Poyun’s saber intent and Essence, Qi, and Spirit condensed, tenacious and unwavering, with an indomitable momentum. But Lu Miaoge, Lu Ping’an, Zilei True Man, and some watching Foundation Establishment cultivators all saw Shangguan Poyun showing signs of defeat. He initially seized the initiative but is now in a passive position. If he can’t break through Lu Wangshu’s offensive, it’s almost impossible to turn the tables. "This Talisman Fairy is not simple, only relying on her own techniques and puppets to suppress Shangguan Poyun, without using the famous ’Talisman Sea Tactics’ of Talisman Cultivators." "By using puppets, one cannot say it’s a fair fight." "In sparring and combat, there’s never been talk of fairness. In earlier years, Shangguan Poyun set up the arena here, and the cultivation techniques he practiced, the life-bound spiritual artifact helped to forge by the Shangguan family..." Some cultivators present felt that even if Lu Wangshu won, it was not a victory with honor, while others believed that a win is a win, and family resources and heavenly treasures are part of one’s strength. It’s impossible to refrain from using good things and to suppress oneself to a similar realm with you, right? "I lost." After another quarter of an hour of stalemate, Shangguan Poyun realized that unless he used techniques like "Demonic Sword Art" and "Blood Burning Blade," he could not break through Lu Wangshu’s offensive. But in sparring on the arena, unless there is enmity, generally, one would not fight desperately to the death. Besides, with Lu Miaoge and Zilei True Man watching from the side, they would intervene if real dangerous flames broke out. Moreover, he could sense that Lu Wangshu still had spare strength and trump cards. Even if he used Life Burning Saber Technique, he might not be able to secure a victory against her. If he lost like this, as the Nascent Soul Seed of the Shangguan family, it would affect the Shangguan family’s prestige. "I concede." Lu Wangshu, hearing this, as if overly exhausted, clasped her fists and said. Then she put away her slightly damaged puppets. She usually doesn’t like to engage with others, as it is her way of combat, always burning money no matter what. "Not as skilled as others, I will challenge you again another day." Shangguan Poyun, like the former ancestor of the Shangguan family, took the loss well, coldly throwing the [Thunder Fire Gang Sha] to Lu Wangshu. But there was still a bit of heartache deep in his eyes. After all, in earlier years, he spent a lot of time earning this [Thunder Fire Gang Sha]. Zilei True Man looked at Shangguan Poyun, who was stepping down from the arena, somewhat exhausted, and asked: "Poyun, do you want me to help you get that Gang Sha back?" This Thunder Fire Gang Sha could increase Shangguan Poyun’s Core Formation probability by one and a half percent. But for other cultivators with thunder or fire attributes, it might only be a one-percent probability. "Thank you, Uncle, but since I lost this battle, it shows I still need more training. I will find another one when I go out another day." Shangguan Poyun’s expression was calm, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were not defeated. If he were so easily discouraged, he wouldn’t have grown to this point today. Since realizing his inadequacies, he could only work harder. As for the Core Formation Spiritual Object he lost, it would serve as motivation to further temper himself! "Good, this is the Qilin Child of my Shangguan family!" Zilei True Man, hearing this, patted his shoulder, then, somewhat admiringly went forward to clasp hands, and said: "Changsheng True Master and Miao Ge True Master really know how to educate their children, with talents emerging one after another in the family, truly enviable." "True Man praises too much." Lu Miaoge said softly, her demeanor like calm water, exchanging pleasantries politely. Then as the host, Zilei True Man invited Lu Miaoge, Lu Wangshu, and the others to dine at the most luxurious restaurant in Jiuxiao Immortal City as a gesture of hospitality. Although they came over, they first challenged Lu Wangshu, but they showed great grace, so Lu Miaoge did not refuse. "I’ve heard that True Man came because of the matters of Xiaoya Mountain’s Li Family and Mo Yu Mountain’s Zhao Family. Our Shangguan family still has some influence here, if True Man needs it, our Shangguan family can handle it on your behalf."
