Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 774: Chapter 5 I am Shou Zhe! Also a Great Heavenly Proud_6

At his shout, the other members of the Wang family also reacted, turning and running.

Those selected for the recon team all were cultivators above the Spirit Platform realm. Their movement techniques have already reached a masterstroke level. At this moment, by fully operating at maximum speed, they immediately turned into several afterimages.

However, even though their reactions were extremely fast, they were still too late.

The Green Jiao monster was at the peak of Level Six, just a step away from evolving into a dragon. It was as powerful as a human cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Human Realm. Moreover, it was fighting on its home terrain; its speed was unparalleled by any cultivator from the Spirit Platform realm.

With a roar, the Green Jiao’s figure rushed across the water like a dragon, and in the blink of an eye caught up with the Wang Family’s exploration team. Its claw reached out to grab the slowest Wang family member at the Spirit Platform realm.

Old Ancestor Chengye, who was carrying an injured clansman, had already flown some distance away. Seeing this, he immediately let go of his clansman and turned back alone, positioning himself in front of the Green Jiao, trying to block it with his own middle-grade Spirit Sword.

Although his talent is not as strong as Old Ancestor Kun Yuan – who was considered a Sky Pride – he himself was still considered a Lesser Sky Pride. Being already close to two hundred years old, and although most resources were devoted to Kun Yuan, slowing his cultivation, his strength had already reached the second level of the Heavenly Human Realm. He couldn’t afford to buy a magical treasure, so he could only use a middle-grade Spirit Sword passed down from his ancestors.

However, faced with the Green Jiao at the peak of Level Six, his cultivation level was not even worth mentioning.

With a single claw swipe, he was sent flying outwards, vomiting blood before crashing heavily into the water.

How could the flesh of a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator have more spiritual energy than that of a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator?

Seeing this, the Green Jiao immediately gave up chasing the Spirit Platform realm cultivators and turned excitedly, roaring loudly before trying to bite Old Ancestor Chengye.

Old Ancestor Chengye had been severely injured in that previous attack. Not only were his internal organs damaged and his meridians shaken, but his consciousness was also somewhat blurred.

Watching as the Green Jiao bit towards him, he instinctively mobilized his Mysterious Energy to struggle, but he wasn’t even able to leave the surface of the water.

Just as Old Ancestor Chengye was about to be bitten by the Green Jiao, a sound of tearing through the air suddenly appeared in midair, and a figure abruptly flew over.

The newcomer was Old Ancestor Kun Yuan.

The two scouting teams were originally only a few miles apart. After Kun Yuan old ancestor perceived the commotion here, he immediately rushed over, spending just over ten breaths of time in total.

Seeing the scene before him, he gritted his teeth in fury: “Fiend! You’re courting death!”

Without any further thought, he immediately mobilized all his Mysterious Energy. A giant phantom suddenly appeared behind him.

That was his Dharma Shadow, a large bear.

Because the outline was vague and it was hard to distinguish which bear it was specifically, once the large bear shadow appeared, a heavy and vast aura spread out in the sky.

As a heavenly proud, Old Ancestor Kun Yuan had already reached the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Body when he elevated to the Heavenly Human Realm. At this moment, his Bloodline Power was activated without any reservation. The majestic power instantly occupied half of the sky.

“Crash~~”

Amidst the overwhelming noise, Old Ancestor Kun Yuan’s magical treasure inherited from his ancestors, the “Crack Ground Axe”, swooped down directly towards the giant Jiao.

As the strong wind howled, the large axe covered with inscriptions glowed with a earth-yellow light, conveying an overbearing and extremely sharp aura, as if it could crack the earth and divide mountains.

If this axe landed, even the Green Jiao’s thick dragon scales might not be able to withstand it.

The Jiao, which was about to bite Old Ancestor Chengye, stalled. A fleeting seriousness appeared in its golden eyes and it immediately gave up Chengye, turning to fight with Old Ancestor Kun Yuan instead.

Old Ancestor Kun Yuan, being currently at the eighth level of the Heavenly Human Realm, and also a Sky Pride who had already achieved a Spiritual Body, fought the Level Six Green Jiao without much disadvantage, especially with the assistance of his magical treasure.

However, Old Ancestor Kun Yuan was over three hundred years old. Both his energy and physical strength were far from what they once were. As time passed, his face gradually turned pale, and his moves and reaction speed began to fail to follow. He made several clear mistakes, giving the Green Jiao a chance to injure him.

Unknowingly, the scale of victory gradually tilted towards the Green Jiao.

Old Ancestor Kun Yuan’s injuries multiplied and his condition worsened. But he had no way out. Behind him were all his descendants and clansmen. He could only wave the Crack Ground Axe and squarely confront the Green Jiao’s every move.

His heart began to cool. Ever since extraordinary fortune had allowed him to become a Sky Pride, his heart had swelled. The only thing on his mind was to dominate the Southern Six Guards on his own, and then ascend to the Purple Abode Realm and elevate his family to a Fifth Grade Prominent Family.

In the end, it was all for naught.

“Go! All of you, go~ Hurry to the Wang family for help!” Elder Kun Yuan roared, locked in brutal combat with the Origin Water Green Jiao.

Unfortunately, the progress of the Origin Water Green Jiao was a hair’s breadth away from Level Seven. Its bloodline was strong, its potential limitless. Even when facing the Heavenly Proud Level’s Elder Kun Yuan, it didn’t use all its strength, treating the fight as if it was toying with him.

“Old Ancestor!”

Wang Xingzu watched from a distance, his heart burning with anxiety.

Although they had indeed exhausted many of the Wang family’s resources maintaining Elder Kun Yuan’s Cultivation Base over the years, even utilizing the resources originally intended for cultivating the third Tianren realm ancestor, it wasn’t out of personal favoritism for Elder Kun Yuan.

It was for the long-term benefits of the family, not for the personal gain of Elder Kun Yuan.

Elder Kun Yuan was a generous and righteous person, looking after his clansmen with great care. As the clan leader, Wang Xingzu had benefited greatly from his generosity over the years, and his feelings for Elder Kun Yuan ran deep.

Seeing the situation going from bad to worse, Wang Xingzu had no choice but to prepare to join the battle after making arrangements for Elder Cheng Ye.

Suddenly.

A cold command echoed from the sky: “Everyone, out of the way.”

An impressive purple sword light descended from the heavens.

The sword light was surrounded by flickering purple lightning, and the implication within it was an aura that was both sinister and icy cold.

The speed of the sword light was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning.

“Boom!”

The Origin Water Green Jiao was unable to evade, hit directly by the sword light. The massive impact sent it sprawling onto the surface of the water. A deep wound was now on its back, where bursts of electricity surged in and out. A chilling, terrifying energy crawled inside its body like maggots in bone.

“Aaah!”

The Origin Water Green Jiao let out a roar akin to a dragon’s roar, seemingly screaming, who dares to sneak attack this Green Jiao?

Lifting its head to survey, it saw a veiled woman in white standing high in the sky, holding a sword wreathed in purple lightning. She looked just like a sword fairy descending from above.

If she was in the Academic Palace, it would undoubtedly captivate numerous admirers.

However, for the Origin Water Green Jiao, what used to be an attractive human was now redundant. Without hesitation, it roared and seemed to express, “How dare this lowly human to sneak attack me!”

As it was about to take action, another exceptionally handsome young man in white appeared in the sky. Floating in the air, he casually glanced at the Green Jiao and said in a heavenly tone, “Oh, a Green Jiao that’s about to transform into a dragon? It seems to have a pure bloodline, very interesting, indeed.”

“What, you have a problem? I’m from the True Dragon bloodline! Why don’t you bow down to me?” Seeing the other side had more people, the Green Jiao recoiled, in fear. Despite its near-to-Level Seven cultivation and high spiritual intelligence, it still wasn’t able to verbally communicate its retort.

“Old Ancestor, my beloved daughter Li Yao has been cultivating too hard these days, sigh, her master is too strict.” The handsome man who resembled a heavenly Immortal spoke earnestly, “Why don’t we just slaughter it and send it to the Academic Palace as a supplement for Li Yao’s cultivation?”

“Good.” The graceful woman replied coldly, releasing a massive surge of sword light, she charged towards the Origin Water Green Jiao.

What?

Like a bolt out of the blue, the Origin Water Green Jiao thought to itself, damn it, what the hell do your daughter’s hardships have to do with me?

Retreat, retreat, retreat!

These humans are too ruthless; I must return deep into the Great Wilderness Marsh.
