Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 307: Chapter 55 – Stable and Outstanding! Youth Elites of the Wang Family_1

…

The Willow Catkin Body Method and Mysterious Element Sword Technique of the Wang family had both reached the middle-grade level. This was significantly superior to the inheritance of typical families. The further one cultivates, the more extraordinary the power becomes.

However, both the movement technique and mysterious technique required persistent honing, and there were few shortcuts available. Even the simplest mysterious techniques could display remarkable power with years of sustained practice.

After Wang Shouzhe took up the position of family head, the training conditions for the Ping’an Wang Family kept improving. Everyone had the opportunity to become a Spiritual Platform seed and enjoy corresponding resources, provided they were willing.

However, this came accompanied with an extremely rigorous assessment system and a contribution point system.

The rate of cultivation progress, basic movement techniques and swordplay, string control, horsemanship, and even cultural courses were all included in the assessment. If the total score dropped below the threshold, there would be a warning. If the requirements were still not met after the warning, the access to cultivation resources would be revoked.

Therefore, the younger generation of the Wang family all cultivated with great dedication. Compared to Wang Shouzhe when he was a seed of the Spiritual Platform, they were just as assiduous.

Since childhood, Wang Zongchang has been more sensible than his older brother Wang Zongwei, able to calmly persist in honing himself. Over time, his foundation became exceptionally solid.

His Willow Catkin Body Method was flowing and natural, agile and graceful like a butterfly as he moved and dodged. Under the hazy moonlight, there were faint afterimages of himself.

His Wang Clan Xuan Yuan Sword Technique, in contrast, was polished by him to be as smooth and round as jade. Each move appeared simple but was as solid and unpretentious as steel forged through thousands of hammer strokes and hundreds of tempering processes.

As a result, Wang Zongchang favored broad and heavy swords. Although his sword was not a spiritual artifact, it was a rare hundred-refined, fine steel sword, weighing over twenty pounds.

“Ding ding ding!”

For some unknown reason, the young man’s internal strength was unusually strong. Yet, even so, he was unable to withstand Wang Zongchang’s continuous and increasingly powerful sword moves.

He was forced to retreat continuously, and his vitality was endlessly turbulent.

How could this be possible!

Madness escaped from the young man’s eyes, he had already merged with that thing. He could clearly sense the terrifying power flowing incessantly.

How could he possibly be thoroughly suppressed by a young man who came out of nowhere?

“Die!” The scarlet-eyed young man roared angrily, swinging his sword. A sinister dark spirit of his sword aura attacked Wang Zongchang.

The surrounding air suddenly became frightful and cold.

“Yin Sha’s aura!?” Wang Zongchang’s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly retreated backward to avoid this sword strike.

He was both shocked and furious. He never expected to encounter a practitioner of the evil Yin Sha. The Wang family has a deep connection with Yin Sha; Grand Ancestor Longyan was injured by the power of Yin Sha and suffered for a full fifty years.

Luckily, Wang Zongchang wasn’t a rookie. He has been assuming his family’s tasks since he was thirteen years old. Not only has he earned quite a few Merit Points in various family tasks, but he has also been thoroughly tempered.

He always performed his best and fought against fierce beasts within his ability range in the annual autumn-winter hunting. His performance may not be as good as his two aunts and his older sister, but he does all he can.

Following a slight panic, he calmed down. Instead of risking a head-on collision with the young man, he adopted a hit-and-run tactic to avoid getting poisoned by Yin Sha.

This was the merchant ship of the Chen Clan of Donggang. As long as he could hold on for a while, there would be experts coming to rescue.

Immediately, he engaged the young man in an unending struggle like a willow catkin in the wind, blocking his escape route towards the sea.

“You!!” The eyes of the young man had turned completely blood-red, reaching an extreme level of fury. He no longer concealed the power of Yin Sha, but no matter how much effort he made, everything was neutralized by Wang Zongchang one by one.

He couldn’t kill nor escape!

Without a doubt, Wang Zongchang’s strategy was very prudent.

After just a dozen or so breaths, the support from the Chen Clan arrived. The person who came was Chen Fanghua, the one who was in charge of this merchant ship.

Chen Fanghua was an excellent clan member of the direct lineage of the Chen Clan whose strength was not weak originally. After the Chen Clan entered a major development period, they provided much more resources and treatment to the outstanding clan members, cultivating them with all their might.

The current Chen Fanghua was only in his thirties. His cultivation base had reached the peak of the seven stages of Vital Energy Refining Realm and was a minor expert.

He held a long spear in his hand and with an enraged face, he joined the battle, “How dare you, dog thief, to run wild on my Chen Clan’s merchant ship.”

“Uncle Fanghua, be careful.” Wang Zongchang reminded, “He practices the evil Yin Sha, and there’s something strange about him. Don’t fight him head-on; mainly entangle with him.”

Practitioner of evil Yin Sha?

Chen Fanghua’s face drastically changed, he immediately became more vigilant. He teamed up with Wang Zongchang to engage the young man in struggle.

With this, the scarlet-eyed, wild youth was forced to the point of vomiting blood. These two people, either of them had better strength than him. Now not only did they join forces, they were also entangling with him!!!

They really fucking picked on him.

But he didn’t have any solution because he did not have control.

Subsequently, several more houseguards from the Chen Clan appeared. Wang Hu and Wang Bao also came to assist after hearing the commotion.

“All houseguards, defend the ship’s side.” As Wang Zongchang continued to struggle with the young man, he commanded, “Take out all the net equipment on the ship. Today, we capture a living Yin Sha practitioner.”

He was very happy in his heart. If he could capture a living Yin Sha practitioner and take it back, he would surely be praised and commended by Fourth Uncle. This was simply Merit Points falling from the sky.

“This man is now a caged beast. We can’t give him a chance to escape. Also, be careful not to get hurt. It’s very difficult to treat the poison of Yin Sha.”

Under Wang Zongchang’s tactical command, that young man was continuously consumed, and not a single person on our side was injured.

This was also thanks to Wang Shouzhe’s daily coaching. Under his instruction, many of the younger generation of family members were very conservative. Under favorable circumstances, they would use the most secure tactics.

“Almost done, prepare to reel in.”

A moment later, the crimson youth was nearly exhausted.

However, at this time, Wang Zongchang did not want to take any risks. Suddenly, he took out a handful of green seeds from his bosom.

The seeds looked strange, each about the size of a large walnut, with a faint green glow moving on their surface.

Wang Zongchang looked somewhat distressed, but in order to be cautious, and to prioritize the safety in capturing Yin Sha, he still crushed the waxy shells of those seeds and tossed them out.

Boom! Boom!

The seeds bounced twice on the deck. After the outer wax shell was cracked, they seemed to be activated all at once. A green light bloomed, and then, at a visible speed, the large walnut-like seeds quickly sprouted and rooted.

Their roots, like sharp claws, pierced into the deck. The long tender green vines grew wildly, becoming longer and thicker, and the color quickly turning into a dark brown.

As though possessing spiritual intelligence, they entangled the crimson youth.

“So many Witch No.5s? Second Young Master has many Valor Points.”

Wang Hu and Wang Bao, the two housekeepers, had faces full of envy. In the family resources exchange list, Witch No.5 was a popular battle tool. Each Witch No.5 seed was personally cultivated and planted by the head of household.

There was no need for wood-type bloodline or mysterious energy, nor to promote growth.

As long as the outer wax shell was crushed, the stored energy inside would be quickly activated, automatically catalyzing the sprout of tough vines. Once entangled, even the advanced stage practitioners in the Qi Refining Realm would have a hard time breaking free.

Keeping a few for emergencies, can be a very good life-saving card.

The only downside was the high Valor Points needed for exchange, where ten points were needed for one.

It’s not that Wang Shouzhe took advantage of his clansmen, in fact, it was quite strenuous for him to grow and manufacture these Witch No.5 vine seeds that stored his mysterious energy.

Placing it on the exchange list was also to give the clansmen and housekeepers more life-saving cards.

The higher exchange price will make them cautious in their use, rather than playing them as a regular battle routine.

Even if Wang Shouzhe had ample energy, he could not withstand such consumption.

On the battlefield,

Seven or eight Witch No. 5 vines had entangled the crimson youth. Meanwhile, ready with their nets, the housekeepers also threw out their nets.

Five or six nets were cast, eventually turning the crimson youth into a zongzi-like mess.

The eyes of the crimson youth were completely red, he roared like a wild beast, just like a madman. But no matter how much he struggled, he could not escape the entanglement of Witch No.5 and the effect of the net.

But Wang Zongchang was still very careful, vigilantly approached and swung his sword, severing his tendons of hand and foot.

It was not Wang Zongchang being cruel.

It was his caution in dealing with a Yin Sha criminal who had already killed several people.

But at this moment,

Sudden change occurred,

The crimson youth’s body began to convulse and twist, his heart thumping as if something were about to burst.

“Oh no!”

Wang Zongchang sensed danger and quickly retreated.

Suddenly!

“Bang!”

The youth’s chest burst open, smashing the nets and vines together into pieces.

A blood-red worm, only the size of a little finger, shot at Wang Zongchang like lightning. Wang Zongchang hastily swung his sword in defense, but it was in vain.

The blood-red worm, like a sharp arrow, plunged into his body with a “pop” sound, and burrowed towards his spine vigorously.

“Ah!”

Wang Zongchang screamed in extreme pain, but at this moment, he still had his senses and roared, “Quickly, tie me up.

He had witnessed the madness and violence of the crimson youth.

Perhaps, it was this blood-red worm that caused the trouble.

“Quick, quickly!” he felt his blood boiling, and a terrible uncontrollable power began to pervade.

Chen Fanghua and his men rushed up immediately, taking advantage of Wang Zongchang still having his senses, they bound him up, tightly wrapping him with layers and layers of rope.

“Quickly, speed up the ship and get it into port,” Chen Fanghua, a seasoned elite, immediately ordered, “Raise the distress flag and let the clansmen at the port inform Old Ancestor Ruhong to come and rescue.”

Wang Zongchang was one of the young generation of the Wang family, and a child highly valued and nurtured by the Wang Clan Leader. If something major happened to him on the Chen family’s boat, what would that mean?
