Protect Our Patriarch

The conversation between the two was professional jargon for a challenge.

One party initiates the challenge, and the other party responds, which means they agree to the duel.

Once the duel is confirmed, unless one party surrenders, injuries or even death are accepted without complaint, and even the laws of Daqian will not be pursued.

At this point, there were already many spectators.

In addition to the alchemists and furnace attendants in Xu's Alchemy Workshop, customers who had ordered elixirs in the workshop also gathered around to watch the excitement.

They were spectators, as well as witnesses.

Wang Shouye, along with Lei Bowu, Lei Yanyun, Huangfu Qianqian, and the other young boys and girls who came with them, consciously made some space to avoid interfering with the duel.

Let's put the idle talk aside for now.

Once the duel started, Wang Luotong's slightly lazy eyes suddenly became sharp. Her gaze at Lei Bowu was like a female leopard eyeing its prey.

He couldn't help but make the first move, attacking Wang Luotong with his sword.

Although he was a pampered young master, he was after all a disciple of the Tianren Lei Clan, and the education and training he received from a young age were different from ordinary people.

This sword move.

It was the first move "Spring Thunder Appears" from the Tianren Lei Clan's superior sword technique - "Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique".

This move was known for its speed and explosive power, like the unpredictable thunder in spring. His basic skills were quite solid, and the move was executed in a very professional manner, somewhat resembling a lightning bolt.

"Master Bowu is mighty!"

Seeing this, his followers all cheered.

"Hehe~ Just that."

Wang Luotong just chuckled lightly, her delicate body swayed, and she floated up like a willow catkin.

This was the Wang Clan's inherited body technique - "Willow Catkin Body Technique".

Her Willow Catkin Body Technique had been practiced to perfection, her figure was elusive, and she even left a trail of afterimages.

No matter how fast Lei Bowu's sword light was, he couldn't even catch up with her shadow.

Although Wang Luotong was a woman, she had always been very stubborn since she was a child, and because her grandfather favored boys over girls, she somewhat resented her identity as a girl.

After getting the opportunity, she worked harder than anyone else.

Whenever a beast appeared in the territory of Ping'an, she was always the first to arrive at the scene.

She didn't want to give up any opportunity to make herself stronger.

It could be said that among the younger generation of the "Shou" generation, except for Wang Shouxin, Wang Shouyi, and Wang Shouzhe, no one was her match.

Even her own brother, Wang Shuonuo, might not be her match.

"This......"

Lei Bowu's face turned a bit unnatural as he failed to hit her with several moves. He hurriedly intensified his attacks, launching one move after another at Wang Luotong.

The Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique was accompanied by faint thunder sounds and flashing electric lights, which was extremely gorgeous.

But such a gorgeous sword move couldn't even touch the corner of Wang Luotong's clothes.

This made Wang Luotong sneer in her heart.

Fancy but ineffective.

She didn't expect that the direct disciple of the prestigious Tianren Lei Clan would only have this level of skill.

She put away her sword and casually untied the whip from her waist.

"Snap!" "Snap!" "Snap!"

The whip shadows overlapped, flying up and down, like a black snake dancing wildly. The tip of the whip cut through the air, making a crisp "snap" sound.

Compared to the Wang Clan's Xuan Yuan Sword Technique, Wang Luotong preferred the whip technique.

However, the family only had a common lower-grade whip technique, which didn't even have a name, and all the moves were basic in whip technique. However, even if the moves were simple, they were extremely lethal after thousands of practices.

Especially the soft whip was infused with a strong Xuan Qi.

The basic whip moves, such as "whip", "wrap", "stab", "dance", etc., seemed to be infused with a soul in her hands, like a snake's tongue flicking, and like a Flood Dragon moving, making people dazzled.

Wang Luotong's basic skills were very solid, and her cultivation was profound, which was not weaker than Lei Bowu of almost the same age.

In less than ten breaths, Lei Bowu was completely suppressed and fell into a disadvantage.

"Snap!"

The whip tip hit his shoulder like a snake attacking, and with a crisp sound, his brocade clothes were torn, and a whip mark instantly appeared on his arm muscles.

"Ah!!"

Under the severe pain, Lei Bowu screamed, almost dropping the sword in his hand.

A numb and unbearable feeling, accompanied by severe pain, spread from his arm to his whole body.

He was both shocked and angry: "You, you, you, you actually poisoned the whip! That's too despicable!"

"Idiot~ It's just a little chili sauce."

Wang Luotong sneered.

The whip shadow howled, directly hitting his chest.

"Snap!" With another crisp sound, Lei Bowu's clothes were torn, his flesh was torn, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang", and he fell to the ground in pain, obviously having lost his fighting power.

However.

Wang Luotong had no intention of stopping.

The whip shadows overlapped, still covering Lei Bowu like a storm.

Her voice also rang out in the gaps between the whip shadows: "Weren't you very arrogant? Didn't you want to beat my brother? Surrender or I'll whip you to death."

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

One whip after another, the whip continuously hit Lei Bowu's body.

Although Wang Luotong had already withdrawn her Xuan Qi, her technique was very skillful, and each whip hit a different place, and the force stopped as soon as it touched the flesh, which could make him extremely painful, but would not really hurt his muscles and internal organs.

She was a mature woman and knew how to control her strength.

After all, no matter how annoying Lei Bowu was, he was ultimately the second son of the Tianren Clan. It was normal to injure him in a duel and no one could find fault with it, but if he was crippled or disabled, it would bring disaster to the Wang Clan of Ping'an.

The main enemy of the Wang Clan of Ping'an was the Huangfu Clan of Tianren, and they couldn't afford to make an enemy of the Lei Clan.

Unexpectedly.

Lei Bowu was surprisingly stubborn. Despite his agonizing screams, he refused to surrender, only howling, "Beat me to death! If you have the guts, beat me to death! This young master will not surrender, I... Ah, ah!"

"Smack, smack, smack!"

The whip was as fast as the wind, and the tip of the whip was like a sudden rainstorm. It quickly let the young master of the Lei Clan taste the "beat to death" flavor.

He was in so much pain that he curled up on the ground, quickly losing the strength to talk tough, only knowing to wail in agony.

"Surrender! We surrender for the young master!"

Lei Bowu's followers were immediately anxious and hurriedly shouted.

"Sister, stop hitting! I also surrender for my brother." Lei Yanyun was extremely anxious, rushing forward to pull Wang Luotong, "Sister, please spare my brother this time."

Despite the fierce conflict with Lei Bowu just now, he was still her brother. How could she watch him being beaten to death?

"You call me sister?"

Wang Luotong squinted at her, her expression was half-smiling.

Lei Yanyun's face turned red instantly, she weakly said, "I thought you were... I was wrong, please forgive me, sister."

"Hehehe~" Wang Luotong laughed and pinched her soft face, "Alright, since my little sister is pleading, as a sister, I can naturally agree to spare him."

With that, she flicked her wrist, and the long whip coiled up like a snake in her hand, hanging back at her waist.

Seeing Lei Bowu still wailing on the ground, she sneered, "You're all bark and no bite, a silver spearhead that's good for nothing. Remember, the one who beat you is Wang Luotong. If you have any grievances, come at me! If you bully my brother by using your size, I will block your Lei Clan's gate, let's see if your Lei Clan can afford to lose face."

Among the noble families, there are various rules. Among peers, if the ages are similar, and you lose in a fair fight, although it's embarrassing, everyone has to accept it.

If Wang Luotong really blocked the gate and challenged Lei Bowu every day, and Lei Bowu dared not accept, I'm afraid the Lei Clan would really lose face.

However, at this time, Lei Bowu had no strength to respond to her.

He was in so much pain that he curled up on the ground, gasping for breath, only able to stare at Wang Luotong with his eyes, but couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

Wang Luotong disdainfully withdrew her gaze, then looked at Wang Shouye with a charming smile, "Alright, your fourth sister has important things to do, I won't disturb your 'pill refining'."

Then, she winked at Lei Yanyun and teased, "Little sister, I suggest you go home quickly, act coquettishly with your father, don't miss the opportunity."

With that, she pointed her toes, and in the blink of an eye, she drifted away like a willow catkin.

Just like a gust of wind coming and going, she was indeed cool when she came and chic when she left.

Wang Shouye didn't even have time to say goodbye to her, he could only bow to her retreating figure.

Among the onlookers, the middle-aged alchemists shook their heads. The world is changing~ This sister of Wang Shouye is really fiery~

However, while they were afraid, their eyes unconsciously followed her as she left.

"Young master, young master, are you okay?"

At this time, Lei Bowu's followers finally reacted, they hurriedly rushed up and helped Lei Bowu up.

"Ah~ Be gentle, be gentle! You useless guys, be gentle with this young master!" Lei Bowu screamed in pain.

"Young master, what should we do? Should we gather some brothers and go to Wang's Clan in Ping'an Town to regain our dignity?"

"Regain dignity my ass! Do you guys have brains?!" Lei Bowu was almost pissed off by these guys, "It was a fair fight and she won. If I gather people to gang up on her afterwards, do we still need the face of the noble families?"

"Besides, the Wang's Clan in Ping'an Town is the chief of the eighth rank, do you really think they are all vegetarians?"

"Ah~ Ah~ It hurts so much, damn chili sauce! Quick, help me go back. I've lived for so long, and this is the first time I've seen such a woman, she's tough!"

"Young master, don't talk nonsense..."

"What's it to you? Ah, ah~ It's so cool! Woman, I won't let you go!"

Seeing Lei Bowu and his group leaving with a lot of noise, Wang Shouxin was speechless.

Is this Lei Bowu really brain-damaged? He was beaten like this, and he still wants to provoke his fourth sister, how desperate is he?

Then, he looked at the two girls who were sticking to him with even more speechlessness.

"Shouye, the Lei Clan is too hateful, they are bullying people with their power." Huangfu Qixi said in a soft voice, "Also, Lei Yanyun is definitely going to marry into the Zhang Clan of Tianren. I'm different, as long as you're willing, I can elope with you."

"Huangfu Qixi, my brother is my brother, it has nothing to do with me!" Lei Yanyun shouted angrily, "I can go beg my father, beg my ancestor. If they don't agree, I can also elope with Shouye."

With the "external enemy" gone, the two girls started to quarrel again.

Listening to them talking about eloping, Wang Shouye had a headache.

His fourth brother worked so hard to train him to be an alchemist, not for him to elope with them.

Girls, they are really troublesome~

Refining pills is more fun!

...

Geographically speaking, Ping'an Town and Changning Guard are across the river from each other. The river in between is the An River.

The An River is wide and the current is swift. In the hundred or so miles of the river that flows through Ping'an Town, the narrowest place is the "Dragon Break Gorge", which is only over a hundred feet wide, but the most dangerous place is the "Eagle Fall Gorge".

A branch of the Six Ping Mountain separates Ping'an Town from the outside world like a screen, but it also diagonally pierces the An River. The constant impact of the An River water has formed the famous Eagle Fall Gorge.

The remaining mountains on the other side of the Eagle Fall Gorge cut a large piece of land into two like a knife blade, the Gongsun Clan in Shanyang to the south, and the Liu Clan in Shanyin to the north.

The two are across the mountain from each other, just like the two poles of Yin and Yang.

On the side of the Eagle Fall Gorge near Ping'an Town, the cliff is steep like a blade, with many layers of stone blades, extremely dangerous, as if only eagles can go up.On the right bank of the Falcon Cliff, there was a large expanse of rocky beach. It was said to be the remnants of a cliff that had been destroyed by the An River.

Once, this rocky beach was the boundary between the hunting grounds of the Wang's Clan and the Zhao's Clan of Ping'an. However, with the decline of the Zhao's Clan of Ping'an, the entire stretch of the An River, spanning over a hundred miles, had long been owned by the Wang's Clan.

Therefore, this boundary marker had lost its significance.

However, the once desolate rocky beach showed some unusual signs. Next to the cliff of the Falcon Cliff, there was a small bay shaped like a cashew nut.

This bay, backed by the cliff, provided shelter from the wind and waves, serving as a temporary resting place for fishing boats. However, this small harbor was too shallow and filled with rocks, making it inaccessible to medium and large vessels.

At some point.

The entrance to the sheltered bay seemed to remain the same, but inside, a tremendous change had taken place.

The rocks beneath the bay had been gradually cleared, and some stubborn rugged riverbeds had been excavated and rectified. If a stranger were to come in, they would probably be taken aback.

Was this still the shallow sheltered bay? It had clearly become a small deep-water harbor!

At this moment.

A small fishing boat quickly entered the sheltered harbor and docked at the port.

The person who disembarked from the boat was none other than Wang Shouzhe, the head of the Wang's Clan of Ping'an, who had recently made a name for himself in Changning!

No one could have dreamed that the popular overseas best-selling products in Changning, such as "cement" and "foreign glass", actually came from this hidden small deep-water harbor.

This was the core area of the Wang's Clan that Wang Shouzhe had been operating for many years.

It was also the true "foundation" of the Wang's Clan.
