Protect Our Patriarch

"You audacious brat! How dare you!"

In the sky, Ancestor Huaye was taken aback and filled with rage upon witnessing this scene.

He was entangled by Wang Zhoubo, and initially thought that even though Jinning and Jinyu, who were in the late stage of the Spirit Platform realm, were no match for him, it wouldn't be easy for the Wang's Clan to kill them. Thus, he wasn't too worried.

However, he didn't expect that in just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, one of them had already fallen!

"Why shouldn't I dare?" Wang Shouzhe looked up at him, a cold smile on his calm face. "Huangfu Huaye, you plotted against my Wang's Clan in the past, and now you even come to seize my property. Do you expect us, the Wang's Clan, to wash our necks and wait for you to kill us?"

"You're courting death!"

Ancestor Huaye hadn't encountered such a brazen youngster in a long time, and he was instantly filled with rage and hatred.

He swiped his finger on his storage ring, and a long halberd suddenly appeared in his hand.

The halberd was made entirely of expensive Red Refining Iron. As soon as it appeared, it burst into intense flames.

This was the Huangfu's Clan's ancestral fire-type magic weapon, passed down in Changning, and its power was extraordinary.

The only minor issue was that the conditions for using it were very strict. It could only be controlled by Xuanwu cultivators who were in the Heavenly Human realm or above, and who practiced fire-type cultivation methods.

Huangfu Hongyu, the founding ancestor of the Huangfu's Clan, had once used the "Red Dragon True Scripture" and the Fire Halberd to conquer territories. In the then still wild Changning region, he killed a fifth-order fierce beast that occupied the area, establishing a formidable reputation and making great contributions.

And thus, he laid the foundation for the Huangfu's Clan to dominate Changning for five hundred years.

It had to be admitted that Huangfu Hongyu was indeed a hero of his time. In terms of merit and fame, he was at least several times stronger than the current Ancestor Zhouxuan.

In the list of achievements of the Heavenly Human realm ancestors in Changning, he was basically ranked first.

Even Wang Shouzhe had some admiration for Huangfu Hongyu's achievements and courage.

Unfortunately, everything changed when it came to Huangfu Huaye, the third-generation Heavenly Human ancestor.

The Huangfu family no longer expanded outward, and their strategic thinking gradually shifted from seeking the development of the family to suppressing the development of other clans, in order to ensure their leading position.

Looking at history, Wang Shouzhe couldn't be clearer.

Once a family forms such an inward-looking mindset, it will no longer have the motivation and spirit to strive for progress.

Perhaps, from the moment their thinking changed, the seeds of disaster were already sown. Even without Wang Shouzhe, even without the Wang's Clan, other clans would eventually replace them.

However, even if the Huangfu's Clan in Changning had many hidden dangers and problems, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. If they wanted to overthrow a huge entity like a Heavenly Human clan, they would inevitably face their desperate counterattack!

With the Fire Halberd in hand, Ancestor Huaye's aura suddenly soared!

Under the night sky, his red hair fluttered wildly, and his body was engulfed in raging flames. He looked like a war god stepping out of the flames, exuding a terrifying aura that made people's hearts palpitate.

Behind him, the phantom of a Red Fire Flood Dragon faintly appeared.

The Flood Dragon circled around, and the red flames were overwhelming.

"Moo~~~"

A dragon roar that sounded like a bull suddenly rang out. The sound was deep and far-reaching, shaking people's souls.

Jun Yao, who was standing next to Wang Shouzhe, was caught off guard and was immediately shocked. His face turned pale as if he had encountered a natural enemy. Even Ancestor Long Yan and Ancestor Beichen, who were in the late stage of the Spirit Platform realm, were also very uncomfortable.

Although Wang Shouzhe was prepared, his face still didn't look very good.

This was the terror of a Heavenly Human realm cultivator.

Every Heavenly Human realm cultivator was a true powerhouse who could dominate a region. The combat power they could unleash at full strength was extremely terrifying.

This was also his original intention for setting up this trap.

In his series of actions against the Huangfu's Clan, he had to squeeze the Huangfu's Clan's living space through commercial means, cut off the Huangfu's Clan's economic lifeline, and inevitably face the desperate counterattack from Ancestor Huaye.

The most terrifying time for a Heavenly Human realm cultivator is not when he dominates a region, but when he loses all his restraints and rationality.

For the Wang's Clan, this was a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. If they didn't severely damage or even kill him, the development of the Wang's Clan would inevitably be restricted everywhere.

"Brat, give me your life!"

Ancestor Huaye swung his halberd, and the overwhelming flames, accompanied by the domineering pressure, rolled down like a tide.

In the firelight, he charged at Wang Shouzhe with his halberd, his hair and beard all spread out, looking like a Flood Dragon, his momentum unmatched for a moment.

Wang Shouzhe sneered, picked up the Bloodthirsty Vine, and with a tap of his foot, his body instantly floated back like a willow catkin.

It seemed slow, but it was actually fast.

At the same time, countless Iron Python Vines entwined and formed a thick vine wall in front of him. The Iron Python Vines had a skin as hard as iron. Although they definitely couldn't withstand a strike from a Heavenly Human realm ancestor, they could block it for a moment, which was enough.

The Fire Halberd arrived in an instant, but it was slowed down by the vine wall.

Although it was only the next moment that the vine wall was mostly destroyed in the raging fire, Ancestor Huaye's movements were still half a beat slower.

At the same time, a roar full of anger suddenly came from the sky.

"Huaye, your opponent is me!"

As soon as the words fell, a domineering golden blade light had already slashed down, with the power to shatter the sky.

In the blade light, a golden war blade was clearly visible.The war blade was simple in design, made entirely of extremely expensive secret bronze, mixed with about one-tenth of Gengjin. The blade was filled with dense and mysterious runes, currently emitting a dazzling golden glow.

"Gengjin War Blade!"

Huaye's Ancestor's face changed.

It turned out that Ancestor Zhubo, seeing Wang Shouzhe in danger, had also taken out his magical weapon, the war blade.

This blade was a replica of the famous divine treasure "Gengjin War Blade", just like his Li Fire War Halberd, it was also a magical weapon passed down from generation to generation by the Wang's Clan of Longzuo.

Although it was a replica, its power was absolutely not weak.

The Wang's Clan of Longzuo was once a Purple Mansion noble family. Even though it has now declined to barely maintain the alternation of heaven and man, its foundation is still not to be underestimated, and it is by no means comparable to those newly promoted heavenly families.

At the same time as the blade light appeared, Ancestor Zhubo also arrived.

He had already pushed his mysterious power to the extreme, his body was dazzling with golden light, and even the skin exposed to the outside had a faint golden color.

Behind him, there were also shadowy images of Dharma.

It was a four-armed Vajra phantom, with angry eyes wide open, majestic and imposing, as if it could smash all evil spirits.

Most cultivators who can cultivate to the realm of heaven and man have good bloodline qualifications. For example, Ancestor Huaye, when he was in the Qi Refining Realm, had a medium-grade Yi-class Li Fire bloodline. After advancing to the Lingtai Realm, his bloodline underwent a transformation, and when he reached the realm of heaven and man, his bloodline evolved again.

Now he seemed to have awakened three bloodlines, although there was still a big gap from the legendary "Li Fire Body", it was normal for the phantom of Dharma to appear when the three bloodlines burst out.

Ancestor Zhubo, who was able to cultivate to the realm of heaven and man, was naturally not to be underestimated.

Although he was still far from the real "Gengjin Body", he was after all a heavenly man who had awakened three bloodlines. Compared with Ancestor Huaye, he was only one level behind in cultivation, and there was no essential difference.

If Ancestor Huaye ignored Ancestor Zhubo and continued to chase Wang Shouzhe, he would definitely be seriously injured.

Ancestor Huaye had no choice but to give up chasing Wang Shouzhe and fight with Ancestor Zhubo.

For Ancestor Zhubo, defeating Ancestor Huaye was extremely difficult, but if he just wanted to hold him back, it would be much simpler.

In an instant.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, stirring endlessly.

Terrifying energy fluctuations swept over from the sky wave after wave, the surrounding clouds were dispersed, the cement buildings in the canyon were also occasionally affected, and even the surface of the An River on the other side became turbulent, stirring up wave after wave.

At the same time.

After escaping from danger, Wang Shouzhe also dropped the bloodthirsty vine in his hand.

In just this short moment, the bloodthirsty vine had digested the spoils of war at an extremely fast speed. The old skin on the outside was cracking and peeling off, and the new skin was even more blood-red, exuding a cold and bloody smell.

Even outsiders who were not familiar with the bloodthirsty vine could see at a glance that it had become stronger.

"Go!"

Wang Shouzhe flicked his finger, and a stream of Changchun true energy fell on the bloodthirsty vine.

The bloodthirsty vine stood up, greedily glanced at Huangfu Jinning who was still jumping around, and then shot out towards him with a twist and a bounce.

Its speed was so fast that it even left traces in the air.

Its hunting desire was so strong, and its nature was so ferocious, that it far exceeded ordinary people's understanding of vines.

When Liu Ruolan helped Wang Shouzhe choose the bloodthirsty vine spirit seed, she just thought that this thing should be suitable for cultivators like Wang Shouzhe who have wood bloodlines.

But no one expected that the bloodthirsty vine would be so terrifying.

In fact, even Wang Shouzhe, who had just obtained this thing, was startled when he first cultivated the bloodthirsty vine spirit seed with his own blood according to the tutorial.

Its thirst and aggression for blood, as well as the predatory nature it showed towards fierce beasts afterwards, sometimes really made Wang Shouzhe get goosebumps, feeling like he had released a demon.

The only thing that comforted Wang Shouzhe was that it was very attached and trusting to its "master", and had a bit of a "heart-to-heart" feeling with Wang Shouzhe, and it was very obedient to his commands.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being one of the top prizes in the trial relics of the Shenwu Dynasty. Compared with the precious top-grade spiritual tools, its value is much higher.

From this perspective, Liu Ruolan's Yuan Water Spirit Pearl must also be extraordinary. Or the remaining treasures are all rare and powerful things.

At the same time.

On the other side, Huangfu Jinning saw the bloodthirsty vine pouncing on him, his face changed drastically, and he was terrified to the extreme.

If he were to fight that bloodthirsty monster alone, he would definitely be able to win. But now, where is the chance for him to fight alone?

He wanted to escape, but he was tightly entangled by Ancestor Long Yan and the Iron Python Vine, and he couldn't escape at all.

The outcome was already determined.

Soon, he was entangled by the bloodthirsty vine and ended up in the same situation as Huangfu Jinyu.

His blood was drained and he turned into a dry corpse.

And the bloodthirsty vine that drained the blood entered the lazy digestion stage again. However, this time it should be impossible to advance again.

The two elders of the Huangfu Clan in the late stage of the Lingtai Realm, who were also big figures who had been dominating Changning for a lifetime, have now become the nourishment for the growth of the bloodthirsty vine, and they didn't even have a good end.

If this were to spread out, it would definitely shock the entire Changning Guard.

"Jinning!"

Ancestor Huaye roared in extreme grief.

He had been desperately trying to save Huangfu Jinning, but was blocked by the damned Wang Zhubo. His hatred and anger surged to the extreme in that instant.

"Wang Zhubo! Wang Shouzhe! Very well, I, Huaye, swear to repay today's favor tenfold!"

With that, he desperately activated his magic weapon, the "Fire War Halberd", forcing back Ancestor Zhubo. His body instantly transformed into a flaming meteor, fleeing towards the direction of An River.

Clearly, he had no intention of continuing the fight and was preparing to temporarily retreat, regroup, and then engage in a life-and-death battle with the Wang's Clan.

However, he had barely flown far when he saw a white waterline suddenly howling from the distance on the usually turbulent An River.

The next moment.

A huge wave rose to the sky, stacking up to the high sky, and crashed down on him.

The waves were monstrous, terrifying in their momentum, as if the sky was about to collapse!

"How could there be such a big wave on An River?!"

Ancestor Huaye looked up in disbelief, only to see a giant water spirit turtle leisurely swimming above the raging waves.

For a turtle spirit beast, which has a strong affinity for water, the waves were as comfortable as a spring breeze.

And on its back stood a woman of extraordinary elegance.

She stood with a sword, her delicate and beautiful face serious. Her long water-blue dress fluttered in the wind. At first glance, she looked like the legendary Lady of the Xiang, like a fairy among mortals.

Needless to say, this woman was naturally Liu Ruolan, the wife of the Wang's Clan.

Beside her, a blue water spirit orb was spinning wildly, with blue water spirit energy gushing out of it, continuously pouring into the woman's body.

At this moment, she looked quite strained, her expression tense, her face pale, and even beads of sweat were faintly visible on her forehead.

Obviously, the monstrous wave was formed under her control!

Clearly, all of this was premeditated, perhaps brewing since just now.

The waves in front of him, although not every wave contained water spirit energy, and in terms of actual power, it was still not as powerful as the formidable spells used by a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator under the Heavenly Human Interaction. However, this wave cleverly used the momentum of An River, allowing it to carry the raging river water and roll towards him.

Its power was as strong as the power of heaven and earth!

Ancestor Huaye realized that something was wrong and immediately wanted to change direction.

However, it was already too late.

The next moment.

The monstrous wave swept down and slammed heavily onto Ancestor Huaye!

"Boom~~!"

In the huge water sound, Ancestor Huaye was directly slapped down from the sky and into the water of An River, even the protective flame around his body dimmed a lot.

"Damn it!"

Ancestor Huaye's face turned extremely ugly.

This attack, although it didn't cause him much actual damage, was extremely insulting, it was no different from slapping him in the face!

However, despite his extreme anger, he still didn't dare to stay underwater for long.

A third-order aquatic beast, if it were on land, he could kill it in a few rounds. But if it were underwater, it would be several times more difficult. Moreover, his "Red Dragon True Jue" was fire-based, how much power could it exert underwater?

Under such circumstances, coupled with that woman who was extremely good at controlling water, he might end up capsizing in the gutter.

"Splash~~!"

A splash of water sounded, and Ancestor Huaye jumped out of the water for the first time, looking extremely embarrassed.

But with this slight delay, Ancestor Zhubo had once again caught up with him like a bone maggot, tightly entangling Ancestor Huaye.

At the same time, Ancestor Long Yan, Ancestor Beichen, and Wang Shouzhe had also rushed over.

Everyone quickly joined in the siege against Ancestor Huaye.

Wang Long Yan and Xu Beichen, among the late-stage Lingtai Realm, also had top-notch combat power. Although there was still a considerable gap with the Heavenly Human Realm, now that Ancestor Zhubo was entangling Ancestor Huaye, it was much easier for them to act.

Especially their killer moves and big moves, they also had enough time to brew and cast.

Even the powerful Ancestor Huaye, didn't dare to take their killer moves head-on!

Compared to them, their only weakness was that they couldn't fly in the sky for long. They needed to land on the cliff, on the water, or on the turtle's back to catch their breath from time to time, then step into the air and join the battle.

In addition, Liu Ruolan also joined the battle.

However, she was attacking from a distance, occasionally rolling up a water dragon to harass Ancestor Huaye. Even if it didn't hit, the water dragon would burst in the air and turn into a heavy rain.

Water naturally restrains fire, and the power of Ancestor Huaye's flames was immediately reduced a lot.

But among all the people, the one who made Ancestor Huaye the most disgusted and helpless was not her, but Wang Shouzhe.

Wang Shouzhe held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, not fighting close, but occasionally slashing a sword aura from a distance to harass.

Such harassment was not a big deal, but the key was that he had finally repelled Xu Beichen or Wang Long Yan, even injuring them.

However, Wang Shouzhe came up and healed their injuries in a few strokes.

He even gave each of them a lush green leaf to hold in their mouths while fighting, which could continuously restore their vitality.

In this way, the fight was naturally impossible to continue.

Ancestor Huaye tried to retreat several times, but was tightly entangled by Ancestor Zhubo, who held the Geng Metal Battle Knife, and was suppressed above the water surface by more than ten feet.If such a situation cannot be changed and continues to drag on, a mighty cultivator at the Heavenly Realm might actually be worn down to death!

A chill of fear ran through Ancestor Huaye's heart.

At this point, he no longer dared to underestimate Wang Shouzhe.

He gritted his teeth, a look of heartache and determination suddenly appearing on his face: "Wang Shouzhe, Wang Zhubo, you forced me into this!"

At this moment, if one were to talk about the person he hated the most, Wang Shouzhe would definitely be at the top of the list.

With that, he found an opportunity and pulled out a palm-sized scale from his storage ring.

The scale was entirely crimson, as clear as jade, with a red light flowing on its surface, making it look extraordinary.

"A Red Fire Dragon Scale?!" Ancestor Zhubo, who had a deep family history and wide knowledge, immediately changed his expression upon seeing this object, "Does the Huangfu's Clan still have this?! Wasn't it said to have been used up?!"

Being an enemy of the Huangfu's Clan, he had collected quite a bit of information about them.

"Snap!"

In the midst of speaking, Ancestor Huaye casually crushed the Red Fire Dragon Scale into powder.

A terrifying flame energy surged out from it, instantly flowing into his body through his palm.

"Roar!"

Ancestor Huaye roared in extreme pain.

In an instant, flames spewed out from every pore of his body, and amidst the raging flames, a terrifying oppressive aura began to spread.

"Despicable brat, this is the last Red Fire Dragon Scale of my Huangfu's Clan!" Ancestor Huaye, enveloped in flames, glared at Wang Shouzhe with eyes full of hatred, "Brat, your death won't be enough to quell my hatred!"

No wonder, how precious is the Red Fire Dragon Scale? Its price is much higher than a medium-grade spiritual tool, and most importantly, it's extremely rare. Only the Purple Mansion Realm powerhouses of the Huangfu's Clan in the Southern Desert can refine it using a secret method.

When Huangfu Hongyu came to Changning Guard from the main branch to pioneer, he only got three pieces.

Two of them were used up during Huangfu Hongyu's pioneering.

The last one has been passed down in the Huangfu's Clan for more than five hundred years. It's not just a clan treasure, but also a family heritage and belief, a means of saving one's life or even killing enemies at critical moments.

Unexpectedly, he was forced to use this item today under Wang Shouzhe's pressure.

No wonder he was so furious, the loss today was too great!
