Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 377: Chapter 81: Battle with the Celestial Being! The Rise of the Wang Family_3

“Jinning!”

The Old Ancestor Hua Ye roared mournfully.

He had desperately tried to rescue Huangfu Jinning, but was stopped by the damn Wang Zhubo. The hatred and anger in his heart soared to its extreme in this moment.

“Wang Zhubo! Wang Shouzhe! Fine, fine, fine, I, Hua Ye, swear to return tenfold of what was gifted to me today!”

With that said, he fiercely thrust his magical treasure, the Fiery War Halberd, forcing back Elder Zhubo and his physical form suddenly transformed into a flaming meteor, fleeing towards Peace River.

Quite evidently, he had no more intention to linger and fight, planning to retreat for now and prepare a decisive battle against the Wang family afterwards.

However, just as he had barely flown further, he saw a white streak coming from the usually turbulent waters of Peace River

The next moment.

The massive waves arose and kept stacking up to the sky, crashing directly above him.

The rolling water seemed endless, its momentum daunting, giving one the sense of an apocalyptic collapse!

“How can there be such big waves on the Peace River?!”

Old Ancestor Hua Ye looked up in disbelief, just to see a large Water Spirit Tortoise swimming leisurely above the monstrous waves.

For a turtle-class spirit beast, which has a natural affinity for water, this was nothing but a gentle breeze. It was purely laid-back and content.

On its back stood an extremely graceful woman.

Standing with her sword, her exquisite face stern, her long water-blue dress fluttering in the wind, she looked like the legendary Goddess of Xiang, a fairy among people at first glance.

Without a doubt, this woman was the Great Wife of the Ping’an Wang family, Liu Ruolan.

Next to her, the blue Water Spirit Pearl was spinning madly, with the blue Water Aura gushing out and continually pouring into her body.

At this moment, she seemed to be under great strain, her expression was tense, her complexion pale, and there were even faint sweat beads seeping from her forehead.

Obviously, the enormous wave was formed under her control!

Clearly, all of this had been premeditated and might have been brewing since the beginning.

Although not each wave contained Water Aura and its actual power was still inferior to the formidable spell used by a Tianren Realm Cultivator sensing celestial energy, this wave cunningly used the current of Peace River, allowing it to roll in with the mighty torrent of the river.

Its momentum was as strong as that of heaven and earth!

Old Ancestor Hua Ye realized the danger and wanted to change his direction immediately.

However, it was too late.

The next moment.

The monstrous waves swept down and slammed fiercely onto Old Ancestor Hua Ye!

“Boom~~!”

In the huge sound of water, Old Ancestor Hua Ye was directly smacked down from the sky and plunged into the water of Peace River, with the protective flame around him dimming significantly.

“Damn it!”

Old Ancestor Hua Ye’s face had become extremely ugly.

This blow, though not significantly damaging to him, was hugely insulting, as if he had been slapped in the face!

However, even though he was furious to the extreme, he still dared not stay underwater for long.

A Level Three aquatic beast, if on land, he could kill it in several rounds. However, underwater, it would be much more difficult. Moreover, his Red Dragon True Verses mainly functioned with fire, how much power could he wield underwater?

Under such circumstances, and with that woman who was extremely adept at controlling water around, he could easily end up capsizing.

“Splash~~!”

With a splash, Old Ancestor Hua Ye immediately leaped out of the water, looking extremely embarrassed.

With this slight delay, Old Zhubo had once again caught up, clinging to Old Ancestor Hua Ye like a stubborn ailment.

At the same time, Old Longyan, Old Beichen, and Wang Shouzhe had also rushed over.

Everyone quickly joined in the siege against Elder Hua Ye.

Wang Longyan and Xu Beichen, among the Spirit Platform Realm cultivators in the advanced stage, possessed unparalleled combat power. Although there was still a significant gap compared to the Heavenly Human Realm, it was much easier for them to perform their techniques with Elder Zhou Zhubo holding Elder Hua Ye in check.

Especially the deadly moves and ultimate techniques they had, now had enough time to brew and execute.

Even someone as powerful as Elder Hua Ye didn’t dare to directly face off against their lethal attacks!

Compared to that, their only weakness was their inability to stay airborne for extended periods. They needed to land on a cliff, water surface, or the turtle’s back to catch their breath, then take to the sky again to join the fight.

In addition, Liu Ruolan had also joined the fight.

However, she chose to attack from a distance, periodically sending a water dragon to harass Elder Hua Ye. Even if her attacks missed, the water dragon would burst in mid-air, transforming into heavy rainfall.

As water naturally countered fire, the potency of Elder Hua Ye’s flames was considerably diminished.

However, amongst all the people, the one who frustrated and troubled Elder Hua Ye the most was not her, but Wang Shouzhe.

Wang Shouzhe held a shield in his left hand, a sword in the right, and he did not fight up close. Instead, he kept on slashing from a distance, sending sword energy to harass his enemy.

The harassment itself wasn’t a big deal, what truly frustrated him was when he finally managed to repel Xu Beichen or Wang Longyan, even causing them some injuries.

Yet, in just a few moments, Wang Shouzhe would rush over to them and heal their wounds rapidly.

Further, he gave them both a piece of lush green leaf, instructing them to keep it in their mouths during the fight to incessantly restore their vitality.

With this situation, the fight naturally couldn’t continue.

Elder Hua Ye tried to retreat several times but was consistently thwarted by Elder Zhou Zhubo, who, wielding a Geng Metal War Knife, kept him suppressed just tens of feet above the water’s surface.

If this situation didn’t change and continued to drag on, even a formidable Tianren Realm powerhouse may eventually be drained to death!

Elder Hua Ye felt a chill of dread in his heart.

By this point, he had stopped underestimating Wang Shouzhe.

He gritted his teeth, the look on his face displaying both anguish and resolve: “Wang Shouzhe, Wang Zhoubo, you’re both forcing my hand!”

Up to this point, when it came to the person he hated the most, Wang Shouzhe was undoubtedly at the top of the list.

Having said that, he spotted an opportunity and pulled out a palm-sized scale from his storage ring.

This scale was a fiery red color, translucent like jade, with a red hued glow flowing on its surface, giving it an extraordinary appearance.

“The Red Fire Dragon Scale?!” Elder Zhubo, well-informed due to his ancestry, had his face turned pale at the sight of the scale, “Does the Huangfu Clan still possess such a thing?! I thought they had used them all?”

He was well-versed regarding the Huangfu Clan’s secrets, having gathered much intelligence on them due to their mutual enmity.

“Snap!”

While talking, Elder Hua Ye crushed the Red Fire Dragon Scale into dust with a casual squeeze of his hand.

A horrifying swirling flame energy emerged from it and quickly flowed into his body through his palm.

“Roar!”

Elder Hua Ye roared in excruciating pain.

In an instant, his entire body’s pores emitted intense flames, and amidst the towering blaze, a terrifying oppressive aura began to pervade the surroundings.

“Damned brat, this was the last Red Fire Dragon Scale of my Huangfu Clan!” The hatred in Elder Hua Ye’s eyes, shrouded by the blazing flames, seemed to reach the sky as he glared at Wang Shouzhe, “Brat, even a thousand deaths wouldn’t be enough to soothe my hatred for you!”

It’s not surprising, after all, how precious is a Red Fire Dragon Scale? Its price is much higher than that of a middle-grade spiritual artifact. The key was that it was extremely rare, could only be refined by a Purple Abode Realm powerhouse of the Huangfu Clan of the Southern Desert.

When Huangfu Hong Yu first came from the main family branch to forge a path in Changning, he was given only three of them.

Two of them were used up during Huangfu Hong Yu’s frontier expedition.

The last one had been passed down in the Huangfu Clan for more than five hundred years. Even if it wasn’t called a clan’s spiritual treasure, it still represented the family’s heritage and faith, a means to save one’s life or even kill the enemy in critical moments.

Yet unexpectedly, it was compelled by Wang Shouzhe to use this final scale today.

No wonder his hatred knew no bounds; the loss he had suffered today was simply too great!
