Protect Our Patriarch

Book 1: Chapter 117: Kill! Annihilate the heart! Liu Zhao collapses

A third-order ferocious beast, no, if it's domesticated, it's called a spirit beast.

Generally, the conditions to domesticate a spirit beast are very stringent. Especially if one wants to domesticate a third-order spirit beast, the difficulty is extremely high.

When a spirit beast reaches the third order, its intelligence will have a significant increase, and it won't easily submit to humans. Families with clan spirit beasts usually raise them from their infancy, which is conducive to fostering bonds.

However, most ninth-rank, or even eighth-rank families, are barely making ends meet in terms of their clan members' living expenses and cultivation resources.

How could they invest resources into a spirit beast?

Usually, the resources consumed in raising a spirit beast are only higher, not lower, than those used for the clan members.

"A third-order spirit beast."

Inside the tent, Ancestor Mingsheng and Ancestor Man looked at each other in disbelief, unable to fathom that the Wang's Clan had secretly raised a third-order spirit beast.

Could it be that this third-order spirit beast was the trump card left by Ancestor Zhouxuan for the Wang's Clan?

Unfortunately, they only guessed half of it right.

This Water Elemental Spirit Turtle was indeed left by Ancestor Zhouxuan, but he did not tame it, only letting it live in Zhuwei Lake. The one who finally tamed it was Wang Shouzhe and his team.

Of course, if the Water Elemental Spirit Turtle hadn't lived next to the Wang's Clan for over a hundred years, forming a familiarity with humans and the Wang's Clan, it probably wouldn't have been so easy to tame.

Similarly, if it had advanced to the third order on its own, it would have been difficult to tame, and might even have brought disaster to the Wang's Clan.

It was only due to a series of fortunate coincidences that the Wang's Clan gained a third-order clan spirit beast.

The appearance of this third-order spirit beast, the Water Elemental Spirit Turtle, also instantly suppressed the charge of the Liu and Zhao Clans.

The clan members of the Liu and Zhao Clans, led by Liu Shengye and Zhao Jinxian, were all stunned on the spot. The turtle was huge and fierce, and it was swinging Liu Shenghao up and down in its mouth.

The seed of the Spirit Platform at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining was being tossed around like a toy, screaming incessantly.

The members of the Wang's Clan, except for a few, also didn't know that their clan had a third-order Guardian Spirit Turtle. After they saw the situation on the battlefield, they couldn't help but cheer.

"Shou, Shouzhe." Chen Fangjie looked horrified and incredulous, "Your clan actually has a third-order spirit beast as a guardian?"

"Spirit Turtle, don't eat people." Wang Shouzhe instructed, then turned to Chen Fangjie and said, "It's just a small third-order spirit beast, Brother Chen, don't make a fuss."

To be honest, Wang Shouzhe had a good impression of Chen Fangjie. After all, he was willing to risk danger and accompany the Wang's Clan through this battle that could change the fate of the clan.

Clan battles are cruel and dangerous, and there's no guarantee of victory. Wang Shouzhe was just doing his best. As for the final result, no one is a god, and no one can predict it.

But from the current situation, the overall battle results are not bad.

Upon hearing Wang Shouzhe's instruction, the Water Elemental Spirit Turtle obediently threw Liu Shenghao away.

With a "thud", Liu Shenghao was smashed onto a carriage. However, as a Basalt practitioner at the peak of Qi Refining, his vitality was surprisingly strong. He could still struggle to stand up, his body bloody and swaying, and he ran towards his own team.

A third-order ferocious beast is too terrifying!

He, Liu Shenghao, survived.

"Bang!"

Before he could run a few steps, a large foot stepped down, crushing his head and waist bones together.

The Water Elemental Spirit Turtle's thought process was simple. The master only said not to eat people, but didn't say not to kill people.

A seed of the Spirit Platform that the family had painstakingly cultivated for more than thirty years died without even having a chance to scream.

"Brother!"

Liu Shengye screamed in pain, and the rest of the Liu's Clan members were also in deep sorrow.

But that's how life-and-death clan battles are.

Today is just that.

It's either you die, or I perish.

"Water Elemental Spirit Turtle, charge into the battlefield and kill the strongest one." Wang Shouzhe ordered the Spirit Turtle to charge without hesitation.

It immediately roared, a deep blue shield condensed around its body, and it charged into the battlefield like an ancient war elephant. Its speed was already fast, and after advancing to the third order, it was like a rampaging tank.

Zhao Daoyuan was originally very quick to react and retreated when he saw the situation was bad. But before he could even feel relieved, he was targeted by the Water Elemental Spirit Turtle. He retreated quickly, but was hit by a water column from a distance. The powerful impact sent him flying.

At the same time, the members of the Liu and Zhao Clans were scattered, their morale plummeted, they were terrified, and even began to flee in all directions.

"All clan members, family generals, start pushing, charge!" Wang Shouzhe commanded from the center, "Choose suitable opponents, the chance to earn contribution points is today, leave no enemies!"

The order for the clan members to attack had two purposes. The Liu and Zhao Clans were scattered by the Spirit Turtle's charge and would inevitably start to flee in all directions. Some of them might die in the wilderness, but some would escape.

Wang Shouzhe didn't want to publicize the result of today's battle. The goal was only one, to annihilate the enemy.

The second purpose was to have every member of the clan participate in the battle.

In this way, everyone would feel a stronger sense of belonging to the clan, be more united, and understand a principle, that the growth of the clan cannot be achieved without the contribution of each individual.

Wang Shouzhe didn't want to cultivate a group of parasites who would be helpless without the Ancestor. He hoped that each of them would become a talent who could stand on their own.

Participating in this turning point battle for the clan's fate would greatly enhance their sense of honor, participation, and contribution to the clan!

As for fearing casualties among the younger generation.

Well, the Liu and Zhao Clans are already in chaos. With Wang Shouzhe, the big healer, watching over them, the probability of problems is relatively low.As Wang Shouzhe gave the charge order.

Wang Luoqiu, who was most fanatical about contribution points, roared and charged forward. As she had declared before the battle, she chose a fourth-tier Qi refining enemy general as her opponent.

The general tried to escape several times, but was stopped by Wang Luoqiu's punches and kicks, which provoked his anger. A little girl was actually pestering him relentlessly.

Subsequently, the general and Wang Luoqiu began to fight, exchanging blows. It looked quite professional.

Especially Wang Luoqiu, who had struggled to fight a third-tier Qi refiner three months ago, was now not falling behind in terms of moves, strength, or even skill and experience against a fourth-tier general.

Such astonishing progress made Wang Shouzhe look at her with admiration. Luoqiu was very ambitious, despite her bloodline awakening, she was extremely hardworking in her daily cultivation.

With proper cultivation, she would definitely become a pillar of the family in the future.

Wang Shouzhe then looked for Wang Luoqing.

Huh?

Where did that girl go?

"Buzz!"

A swarm of purple crystal spirit bees flew out from somewhere. The swarm was not small, with no less than one to two hundred bees.

Due to the large size of the purple crystal spirit bees, such a large swarm was overwhelming. Even a fourth or fifth-tier Qi refiner would find it a headache.

But it was very clear that the girl had big ambitions this time.

The target of the swarm was Liu Shengye, the head of the Liu's Clan.

He was a seventh-tier Qi refiner. Even if he was just a shell, he was not comparable to Luoqing, who was not even at the third tier. If they faced each other directly, Wang Luoqing would not be his opponent.

Therefore, Wang Luoqing was very smart. She hid behind the carriage in the rear, blowing her bug flute, more than ten feet away from Liu Shengye.

"Damn it, it's that little Spirit Bug Master." Liu Shengye's fat body trembled with fear. His thick palm slapped continuously, stirring up waves of Xuanqi palm strength.

The current purple crystal spirit bees had not yet molted and could only be considered as first-tier ferocious bugs that lived in groups. They could not resist the killing power of the Xuanqi palm wind. With one palm strike, at least several bees died, and the purple crystal spirit bees fell in large numbers.

This was the power of a seventh-tier Qi refiner, even if he was just a shell, he was still at the seventh tier.

Wang Shouzhe guessed that Luoqing must be heartbroken. It was not easy for her to cultivate the purple crystal spirit bees, and she had put a lot of effort into each one.

But Wang Shouzhe would not casually step in to help, unless she was in danger of losing her life.

Since she chose to risk a lot for a big gain, she had to pay the price.

Spirit Bug Masters were not invincible, and neither were the swarms. With her one to two hundred spirit bees, Wang Shouzhe could easily annihilate them.

Learning from this setback was more important than anything else.

Then, he turned his attention to the other people. He didn't go down to the battlefield because he needed to take care of his clan members.

Wang Zongwei!

That boy had grown a lot recently and had finally cultivated to the third tier of Qi refining. He and Wang Luotong worked together to fight a fourth-tier general, and they could barely hold on.

Suddenly!

Wang Shouzhe's eyelids twitched, and a very strange scene appeared on the battlefield.

Wang Lici, who had already reached the fourth tier of Qi refining, had somehow put on a set of heavy iron armor. The armor must have weighed at least three hundred pounds, covering her from head to toe.

This was not the most exaggerated part. She was holding an iron shield in her left hand and a heavy iron hammer in her right hand.

As she walked, the ground seemed to tremble.

She looked like an iron-armored warrior.

At the same time, a small tiger, which had grown a lot, was jumping up and down following her.

Just as she had boasted before the battle, she chose a fifth-tier Zhao's Clan general as her opponent. She didn't need any skills, just block and swing the hammer, block and swing the hammer.

Having awakened two bloodlines, her physique and strength had been amplified to a rather terrifying extent. But her biggest problem was her lack of patience to diligently practice Xuanwu combat techniques and footwork.

This way of fighting could reduce the factors of footwork and Xuan techniques to the minimum.

Even if the enemy tried to fight her in a hit-and-run manner, it would be useless. Her little tiger, Hua Hua, was not vegetarian. It was fast and fierce, running like a gust of wind.

As long as it could hold on for a moment, the iron-armored warrior Wang Lici could swing her heavy hammer and kill.

The fifth-tier general was tormented by her. He couldn't fight back, couldn't outrun the tiger, and couldn't defend himself. His steel sword was smashed to pieces by her hammer.

Moreover, there was an annoying little tiger on the side, biting and harassing him from time to time.

"Bang!"

The general was finally hit in the chest by Wang Lici's hammer, spitting out blood and flying backwards. He convulsed on the ground and died.

Before he died, he couldn't even close his eyes. He died too aggrieved.

"Hahaha! This is the most suitable tactic for me, Miss Lici." Wang Lici laughed excitedly, "I am invincible in the world, who can compete with me? Wang Luoqiu, Wang Luoqing, I will let you know, the big sister is always your big sister."

Wang Shouzhe broke out in a cold sweat, unable to watch any longer.

The tactics were indeed innovative, but the lines were too embarrassing.

The appearance of the third-tier spirit beast caused a drastic change in the battlefield.

Not to mention the main battlefield in the camp, where the situation was completely reversed, the other battlefields of the Ancestors also underwent various changes.

As the saying goes, a single hair can affect the whole body.

Liu Zhide, who was fighting with Ancestor Long Yan, was already furious when Liu Shenghao died. The continuous death of his clan members behind him made him roar like a mad beast.

He tried several times to break away from Long Yan and rush into the main battlefield in the camp to save people, but he was held back by Long Yan.

"Ancestor Long Yan, do not engage Liu directly." Wang Shouzhe's voice rang out, "Tie him up, keep him occupied until his medicine wears off, and don't give him a chance to escape the battle."

"Same goes for you, Grandpa Liu, as long as you can delay him, we win." Wang Shouzhe continued to command on the battlefield, "Today, it will certainly be the downfall of both Liu and Zhao clans."

Meanwhile.

Inside the tent, Ancestor Mingsheng and Ancestor Mang looked at each other, it seemed like they wouldn't get a chance to join the battle. Although winning without having to fight was a good thing.

But on such a victorious day, they were just extra cards in hand, and it felt strange.

"Ah, I understand now." Ancestor Mang said, "The only reason Shouzhe invited us here was just in case."

"Yes, Shouzhe only wanted us to deal with the reinforcements, and for the life-and-death battle between the Wang's Clan and the Liu and Zhao clans, he already had the winning ticket and didn't want us to interfere." Ancestor Mingsheng also sighed, "Although this is a kind of protection for us, it always feels uncomfortable, like we're taking money for nothing."

At this moment.

On the battlefield, Liu Zhide was unable to escape from Ancestor Long Yan's entanglement. He roared in despair, "Wang Shouzhe, don't be so smug, I admit I was one move short. If, if I had another chance~~"

The remaining members of the Liu and Zhao clans were also filled with sorrow. Yes, they were just one move short. If they had one more card, if they could fight for one more card...

"One move short?" Wang Shouzhe laughed scornfully, "Don't say that I, Wang Shouzhe, made you die unjustly and you're not convinced. Ancestor Mang, Ancestor Mingsheng, you must be bored, come out and say hello to everyone."

"Hahaha~ I didn't expect we would have a chance to join."

Ancestor Mang and Ancestor Mingsheng finally heard their names called, and immediately flew out of the tent and landed on the battlefield.

The remnants of the Liu and Zhao clans were struck by lightning, their hearts were filled with despair, and their remaining morale disappeared in an instant.

Where was this one move short?

How many moves were they short?

"Liu, Zhao, I, Wang Shouzhe, gave you a chance to destroy my Wang's Clan." Wang Shouzhe sneered, "Unfortunately, you couldn't seize it."

"Let me tell you an interesting piece of news."

"Luoxian!"" She's mine."

"Puff!"

At this point, Liu Zhide and Zhao Bojun both spat out a mouthful of blood.

Both of them looked ashen!

The remnants of the Liu and Zhao clans were all in sorrow, filled with regret.

This Wang Shouzhe, not only did he want to kill, but he also wanted to destroy their hearts.
