Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 379: Chapter 83 Heavy Blow to Hua Ye! Changning Guard’s Situation Changes _1

…

The moment the purple sword light slashed out, Wang Shouzhe felt a pang of pain.

This Purple Abode Sword Symbol was acquired with great difficulty. Not only did it take a lot of time to gather, but the price was also extremely high.

It was a hereditary item from a declining celestial family of the Linyang Guard. Only a cultivator of the Purple Abode realm, depleting his own cultivation base, could seal his sword energy and intent within the jade talisman.

Usually, only when a cultivator of the Purple Abode realm sees no hope of breakthrough, and his lifespan is about to be exhausted, would he sacrifice his cultivation base to refine such one-time sword symbols or magical symbols, leaving a few treasures of the clan for his descendants.

The Celestial family was so poor that they couldn’t even afford a celestial succession, and they had to sell the last treasure of the clan, giving Wang Shouzhe a great bargain.

Of course, this was also related to Wang Shouzhe’s high bid.

Those families that could casually take out hundreds of thousands of Qian Gold usually had very strong family strength, and they didn’t need this Purple Abode Sword Symbol.

However, for the Wang family, nothing could be more suitable.

At a critical moment, it could truly determine the outcome of the situation and completely change the current situation.

What happened next was quick.

When the Purple Abode Sword light was slashing towards Old Ancestor Hua Ye at close range even under the dim night, Wang Shouzhe could clearly see that the face of Old Ancestor Hua Ye was twisted with fear.

With the fastest speed, he changed from attack to defense. The Fiery War Halberd was condensed inward and began to rotate violently. The red fire bloomed like a hot sun, forming a protective shield.

“Boom!”

The Purple Abode Sword light ruthlessly slashed into the Fiery War Halberd, and the violent energy exploded all around. The protective shield only lasted for a moment before it shattered, leaving the perfect sword light to break into countless pieces of energy, some of which penetrated into his body.

Old Ancestor Hua Ye couldn’t withstand such a strong impact and was like a missile that had been hit. He was thrown backward, smashing brutally into the towering cliffs of the Fallen Eagle Gorge.

“Boom!”

With a loud explosion, a large crater was created on the cliff, and the whole Fallen Eagle Gorge seemed to vibrate faintly, with countless rocks falling down. In the process, his Fiery War Halberd was also thrown out, making a “splash” sound as it fell into Peace River. The searing flames were not extinguished immediately, causing the small part of the river to boil and emit steam.

However, water naturally overcomes fire. The burning flames on the Fiery War Halberd didn’t have any mysterious energy to replenish, and they quickly died out.

“Puff!”

Old Ancestor Hua Ye spurted out a mouthful of blood. There was no hint of the dignified air of a Celestial being in his appearance. His clothes were torn apart by the sword energy, and there were wounds all over his body caused by the energy. What’s more terrifying was the foreign sword energy had invaded his body, constantly wandering and corroding his internal organs.

“Argh~~~” Under the severe pain, Old Ancestor Hua Ye let out a roar: “Boy, you should die!”

Such a powerful blow did not instantly kill Old Ancestor Hua Ye, and this was naturally within Wang Shouzhe’s expectations. After all, the power of that Purple Abode sword symbol was equivalent to a full blow from a strong cultivator of the Purple Abode realm.

If he were up against a newly-promoted, not very powerful Celestial beginner, it might be possible to kill him in one strike. But Old Ancestor Hua Ye was different. He was considered a veteran of the Celestial realm.

“Hehe! It’s not clear yet who will die.” Wang Shouzhe said coldly, “Senior Ancestors, let’s take his life while he’s ill.”

The one who hated Huangfu Hua Ye the most, Old Ancestor Longyan, took the lead in attacking. After him, Old Ancestor Zhou Bo, Old Ancestor Beichen, and Liu Ruolan encircled them from all sides.

The face of Huangfu Hua Ye, the old ancestor, turned pale immediately. Trying to suppress the alien sword energy inside his body, he prepared to quickly leap into the water to fetch his Fiery War Halberd. That’s his Celestial family of Huangfu’s ancestral treasure, and the first-generation family treasure passed down by the founder of the Huangfu Clan, Huangfu Hong Yu.

Unexpectedly, just before he was about to dive into the water, he saw a giant tortoise beat him to it, emerging from the water, with the Fiery War Halberd in its mouth!

Then, the tortoise quickly ran towards Wang Shouzhe, lifting its head high, showing off the Fiery War Halberd in its mouth, as if flaunting to its master.

Seeing such a scene, Old Ancestor Hua Ye was so angry that he coughed up blood again. He wanted to kill the tortoise, but he was helpless because Old Ancestor Zhou Bo and the others had already begun their attack.

Without the Fiery War Halberd, he could only use his fists to barely fend off the attacks, constantly retreating in mid-air.

“Damn it, damn it!”

Hua Ye, the old ancestor who lost all opportunities, yelled outrageously. In an emergency, he was forced to take out a life-saving talisman passed down from his ancestors – a clear and transparent jade talisman.

The shape was slightly similar to Wang Shouzhe’s Purple Abode Sword Symbol, but it did not have any sword energy sealed inside.

As Old Ancestor Hua Ye crushed the jade talisman, a huge pure white energy erupted and enveloped him, and he quickly fled to the distance.

“Wang Shouzhe! You wait for me…”

Before leaving, Old Ancestor Huangfu Hua Ye didn’t forget to leave a fierce remark, but that escaping light was extremely fast. His words were only half-spoken when he disappeared into the night sky.

“Spirit Shield Talisman!” Broad-minded Old Ancestor Zhou was a bit embarrassed, “I didn’t expect that old little dude Huangfu has such a life-saving object.”

Spirit Shield Talisman?

Seeing this, Wang Shouzhe’s eyes slightly narrowed. He had heard about this treasure before. It was a jade talisman that was extremely difficult to refine. Although its value was not as outrageous as the Purple Abode Sword Symbol, it was still not cheap.

Most importantly, no one in the entire Great Qian Land could refine it.

The existing Spirit Shield Talismans were all excavated from ancient ruins, decreasing in quantity each time they were used. Some families who owned these talismans almost always kept them as their last card in hand, only selling them when absolutely necessary.

“Shouzhe…..” Old Ancestor Longyan looked a bit disappointed. Today’s trap set up against Old Ancestor Huangfu Hua Ye was a set-up that Shouzhe had planned for many years.

He never expected that Huangfu Hua Ye has such a life-saving object, which ultimately allowed him to escape at the last moment.

“Nevermind.” Wang Shouzhe said in his usual calm manner, “Actually, I have considered the unlikely event that we couldn’t kill Huangfu Hua Ye. Now, the situation is very favorable for us. He resisted the strike of the Purple Abode Sword Symbol head-on, then forced the use of the Spirit Shield Talisman to escape. Even if he doesn’t die, most of his vitality is gone.”

“Haha, Shouzhe is right,” Old Ancestor Beichen laughed and agreed, “I observe that the unusual sword energy from the Purple Abode Sword Symbol has invaded his body. The unusual sword energy left by the Purple Abode Realm is not that easy to remove. He won’t be creating trouble for a while. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to advance to the Celestial Human Realm in a few years. Then, the situation in Changning will have to change.”

“Old Ancestor, this time we can consider it as collecting interest from Huangfu’s family.” Wang Shouzhe smiled, “The unusual sword energy from the Purple Abode should be enough for Huangfu Hua Ye’s consumption. The torments it will bring would be comparable to when you were poisoned by Yin Sha. Let him taste what your pain feels like.”

Meanwhile.

Wang Shouzhe took the Fiery War Halberd from the tortoise’s mouth. The fire on it had been extinguished, but when held in hand, it still gave off a hot sensation, making one feel the strong energy contained within.

However, because it had struggled against a stroke of the Purple Abode Sword Energy, there was a shallow sword cut on the Fiery War Halberd.

It really deserves to be a magical treasure. Such a terrifying hit and yet it wasn’t split in two.

“Shouzhe, you didn’t lose out on this deal.” Old Ancestor Beichen said, with evident envy, “That old geezer Huangfu may have escaped injured, but he left behind his family’s inherited magical treasure. Plus, the loss of a Spirit Shield Talisman has greatly weakened Huangfu Clan.”

No wonder he was envious.

The value of a magical treasure is usually hundreds of thousands of Qian Gold, more expensive than the Spirit Shield Talisman. It’s at least not cheaper than the Purple Abode Sword symbol that Wang Shouzhe broke.

And a Celestial Human Realm Cultivator, with or without a magical treasure, has entirely different combat power.

“Shouzhe, you keep this magical treasure.” Old Ancestor Zhou said from the side, “For this trip, first, I came to pay back for the affection I had with Zhou Xuan. Second, also to repay you for your help to the Wang family of Longzuo.”

Old Ancestor Beichen also immediately agreed, albeit nervously, “What Old Ancestor Zhou said is right, our Xu Family and Wang Family are one family. Your help for the Xu Family is too much, and our Xu Family’s repayment is too little. My assistance this time is also to repay the Wang family.”

Just as Wang Shouzhe was about to speak, they kept persuading him, especially Wang Shouzhe having broken a Purple Abode Sword symbol this time, and suffered quite some losses. Having the Fiery War Halberd as a spoils of war could at least make up for some of the loss.

“If that’s the case, it would be impolite for me to refuse.” Wang Shouzhe pondered for a while, and didn’t refuse their kindness any further.

After all, giving and receiving is necessary in maintaining relationships. They don’t want to always owe the favor to the Wang family of Ping’an, and it’s only right and natural. Moreover, the current Wang Family is spending a lot. Both the Purple Abode Sword energy jade symbol and the later acquisition of the old Ma Huangfu’s family property, have put Wang family in debt.

He decided to sell this Fiery War Halberd in a black market to relieve some financial pressure. After all, no one in his family could make use of this magical treasure. Even if Old Ancestor Longyan breaks through in the future, using a fire-element magical treasure wouldn’t align.

As Wang Shouzhe was considering what to do with the Fiery War Halberd, a cold voice rang out, “Wang Shouzhe, come with me.”

Upon seeing this, all the old ancestors immediately made excuses to leave. Even the Spirit Tortoise, Yuanshui, felt something was wrong and dived into the Peace River, disappearing without a trace.

Not long after.

On top of Fallen Eagle Gorge.

Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan, who had transformed, were facing off in a battle.

In the biting cold wind, Liu Ruolan’s long icy blue hair was fluttering in the wind. She stared at Wang Shouzhe, “Repeat what you just said.”

A chill ran through his body.

Wang Shouzhe felt a sudden panic in his heart. He felt he was about to be beaten by his wife. Quickly, he must think fast!
