Protect Our Patriarch

Li Yuzhe laughed in anger, "Very well, you all seem to think I'm made of clay. Little girl, since you want to challenge me, then make your move!"

Wang Luojing glanced at him indifferently and shook her head, "I would prefer if Brother Yuzhe could recover first."

Li Yuzhe was taken aback, finding the situation both amusing and irritating.

She was clearly implying that she wouldn't enjoy the fight if he wasn't in his best condition.

The other disciples of Changchun Valley were also lamenting. What has the world come to? These young newcomers were becoming more and more arrogant.

The disciples of Xiaoyao Peak and Wang Luoqiu were still celebrating. Seeing this scene, they were also taken aback.

My goodness, this little girl's attitude is no less than Luoqiu's.

Wang Luoqiu's gaze shifted slightly, and she snorted coldly, "Childish."

Zhang Xiuping suddenly thought of something, "Wait! She just said her name is Wang Luojing."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's gaze turned to Wang Luoqiu, all of them in disbelief. Could it be? Was it really as they had suspected?

"You guessed right. She is my childish older sister, one year older than me."

Facing everyone's gaze, Wang Luoqiu remained calm and composed, speaking as casually as if discussing whether today's lunch was good or not.

The disciples of Xiaoyao Peak were instantly silenced.

They looked at Wang Luojing on the stage, then at Wang Luoqiu, their hearts filled with lament.

What was going on? Were both sisters prodigies?

The two similar names not only caught the attention of the people from Xiaoyao Peak, but also the disciples of Changchun Valley, who were all discussing, "So they are just sisters," "No wonder," and other such comments.

Hearing the discussions below, Li Yuzhe on the stage suddenly realized what was going on, his face instantly becoming serious.

If the younger sister was so powerful, wouldn't the older sister be even more so?

Immediately, he dared not be careless anymore and honestly said, "If junior sister wants to challenge, then let me recover first."

With that, he began to refine his Qi and meditate to recover.

While Li Yuzhe was recovering, disciples from the Yuanshui Heavenly Lake sect came to visit, naturally to observe. However, their Yuanshui elders did not come. It was obviously just a routine visit.

Seeing this, the disciples of Changchun Valley breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that another Wang Luoqiu, Wang Luoxia, Wang Luodong or something would come, then their Brother Li Yuzhe would be in a terrible situation.

The disciples of the Yuanshui Heavenly Lake sect also didn't expect that there would be three elders present in Changchun Valley. Their originally aggressive posture instantly wilted. After paying respects to the three elders, they honestly watched the battle from the side, not daring to make any trouble.

Xuanfu Ancestor and Liu Ruolei were originally from the Yuanshui Heavenly Lake sect, and they also came to join in the fun this time.

Liu Ruolan was also in the crowd, first looking at Wang Luoqiu by the stage and Wang Luojing on the stage, then looking around.

Wang Shouzhe waved at her, "Over here."

Soon, the four of them gathered together.

"My lady, you wouldn't also be here to observe Changchun Valley, would you?" Wang Shouzhe looked at Liu Ruolan and laughed.

Liu Ruolan covered her mouth and laughed, "I heard about what happened just now. Our Luoqiu is really amazing. But I don't like fighting and killing, and I haven't officially joined the Yuanshui Heavenly Lake sect. I just came to watch the excitement."

Somehow, Wang Shouzhe breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as his lady didn't cause trouble, everything would be fine. If she started to make a fuss, even Brother Jinshan's efforts would be in vain.

"Is it Luo Jing's turn to observe now?" Liu Ruolan looked at the stage, her beautiful face full of interest and excitement.

Although she wasn't interested in fighting and killing, she did enjoy watching the excitement.

"My lady, please try to control your emotions a bit." Wang Shouzhe reminded.

They were currently watching the battle in Changchun sect.

Seeing the strange looks coming from all around, Liu Ruolan secretly stuck out her tongue and stood obediently next to Wang Shouzhe, watching the excitement.

Seeing this, the disciples of Jinshan couldn't help but look at Wang Shouzhe with admiration.

This guy was not only hooking up with the junior sisters of Changchun Valley, but now he was also getting involved with the Yuanshui Heavenly Lake sect.

However, even if they had objections, they could only swallow them.

Because they all recognized the woman next to Wang Shouzhe, who was the core disciple of the Yuanshui Heavenly Lake sect, Liu Xuanfu. Although Liu Xuanfu was not fond of fighting, she could easily deal with them.

Let's put the idle talk aside for now.

The abilities of the disciples of Changchun Valley aside, their recovery speed was truly astonishing.

In just a quarter of an hour, Brother Li Yuzhe had fully recovered and was full of energy again.

"Junior Sister Luojing, you don't mind if I put on some armor first, do you?"

Li Yuzhe shamelessly thickened his skin.

"Brother, please do as you wish." Wang Luojing said indifferently.

"Then I won't be polite."

Li Yuzhe once again took out that piece of ancient tree bark and infused it with his Qi. The remnants of the ancient tree armor quickly spread all over his body.

After such a long time of self-repair, the ancient tree armor had already been mostly restored. Apart from a few cracks on the surface, it was almost the same as before. This showed the strong self-repair ability of the ancient tree armor.

Next came the Yimu Spirit Shield and the Longevity Tree Leaf.

After equipping the full set of gear, he still felt uneasy, so he took out several red fruits.

The fruits were the size of a fist, their exterior looked like they were made up of layers of scales, and they emitted a hot aura.

As soon as he took out these fruits, a look of heartache appeared on Li Yuzhe's face.

He had worked hard for ten years and only managed to cultivate seven of these fruits. Now he was using three of them, and it would take him several more years to make up for the loss. How could he not feel heartache?

"Fire Dragon Fruit?!"

However, the senior sisters of Wan Butterfly Valley who saw this scene instantly changed their faces and scolded angrily, "Li Yuzhe, have you no shame? Using Fire Dragon Fruit against a junior sister!"A senior sister quickly reminded Wang Luoqing, "Junior Sister Luoqing, you must be careful with that Fire Dragon Fruit. It can explode, and the fire attribute slime it splatters will stick to people and burn with layers of flames. It's very difficult to deal with."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister."

Wang Luoqing nodded solemnly.

Upon hearing the words "Fire Dragon Fruit", Wang Shouzhe almost couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't help it, those words were just too out of place.

However, judging from the reactions of the senior sisters from the Valley of Butterflies, the power of this Fire Dragon Fruit was probably not low. After laughing, he also became interested.

It seemed that the Changchun Valley lineage was not without combat power, but those powerful plants were very difficult to cultivate and they were not willing to use them casually.

"Brother Yuzhe, are you ready?" Wang Luoqing asked.

Li Yuzhe had a leaf of the longevity tree in his mouth and it was inconvenient for him to speak, so he could only nod vaguely, "Junior Sister Luoqing, go ahead."

"Okay."

Wang Luoqing nodded, then took action without hesitation.

Her combat style was completely different from that of Wang Luoqiu. Before the fight even started, she quickly retreated, and at the same time, a bug flute appeared in her hand.

She held the bug flute in front of her and played it slowly. The high-frequency flute sound immediately rippled through the air.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

In the low buzzing of wings, a large swarm of Purple Crystal Bees appeared in the sky, flying towards Li Yuzhe like a dark cloud covering the sun.

These Purple Crystal Bees were all much larger than ordinary ones, their bodies radiating a purple crystal light. Their stingers were sharp as knives, and their mouthparts moved. Hundreds of them gathered together, creating a scene like a dark cloud covering the sun. Not only was it visually impactful, but their combat power was also quite astonishing.

In the wild, even cultivators at the Spirit Platform Realm would have to detour when encountering such a swarm of bees.

"Spirit Bug Master!"

"My goodness, she's a combat Spirit Bug Master."

"Just how strong must her spiritual sense be to control such a large swarm of bees?"

Seeing this scene, the people from Changchun Valley were all shocked, their faces changing.

The female disciples from the Valley of Butterflies had already seen Wang Luoqing's combat style before, but they still couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly worthy of Junior Sister Luoqing."

Li Yuzhe was also taken aback. He didn't expect Wang Luoqing to be a Spirit Bug Master, and a very powerful one at that. Even at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm, she could command such a large swarm of bees.

Unfortunately, these bees were useless against him~

Li Yuzhe started to laugh.

Sure enough, all the bees were blocked outside the Yimu Spirit Shield. No matter how they attacked, the Yimu Spirit Shield was unaffected. They only created a little ripple on it, like a rain shower.

In fact, even if they broke through the Yimu Spirit Shield, there was still a more powerful Ancient Tree Armor waiting for them.

"Ah, this is troublesome."

The senior sisters from the Valley of Butterflies all felt sorry for Luoqing.

Such a swarm of bees would indeed be very effective against other Spirit Platform Realm cultivators, but against those "turtles" from Changchun Valley, it was a wasted effort.

"Hmph~"

On the stage, Wang Luoqing also realized this. She put away her bug flute, her expression still calm, as if she was not affected at all.

The next moment, she turned her jade hand over, and a palm-sized red toad appeared in her soft palm.

"Red Bull Fire Toad."

Wang Shouzhe was stunned, realizing that this girl was going all out again.

But this time, he wasn't too worried.

The current Wang Luoqing was not the same as before. Not only had her cultivation level reached the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm, but she had also awakened her bloodline to the second level with the help of the Primary Bloodline Enhancement Liquid, reaching the top-tier Ding level talent. Controlling this "Red Bull Fire Toad" no longer required blood to drive it.

Wang Luoqing concentrated her spirit and connected her mind with the Red Bull Fire Toad.

In the next instant, the palm-sized red toad "plop" jumped onto the stage, and then it grew in the wind, turning into the size of a calf in a blink of an eye, emitting a terrifyingly hot aura.

As a Gu that evolved by devouring the aura of Fire Sha, it was born with a strong Sha aura. Even its breath was poisonous. If a Xuanwu practitioner's cultivation level was too low or the method of control was improper, they would hurt themselves before hurting the enemy.

But at this moment, it was as obedient as a normal toad in front of Wang Luoqing.

"Moo!"

The Red Bull Fire Toad let out a cow's moo, causing people's eardrums to tremble slightly.

With a leap, it pounced in front of Li Yuzhe and spat out a stream of red flames.

This was the Red Bull Fire Toad's signature Xuan technique - Red Flame Fire Poison.

"This..." Li Yuzhe's eyes widened, "What the hell is this?"

"Brother Yuzhe, retreat quickly!" Brother Jinshan shouted anxiously from below the stage, "This is a Red Bull Fire Toad, a very fierce fire poison Gu."

But by this time, it was already too late for Li Yuzhe to retreat.

The red flames had already collided fiercely with the Yimu Spirit Shield.

In an instant, the Yimu Spirit Shield was corroded and burned a large chunk as if it had met its natural enemy. The edges were still burning and collapsing, spreading wildly around.

The Yimu Spirit Shield was a wood attribute shield, and what it feared the most was fierce fire attacks. In just a few breaths, the Yimu Spirit Shield was burned into nothingness, leaving not even a trace of residual aura.

However, things didn't end there.

The Red Flame Fire Poison still had momentum and directly licked the Ancient Tree Armor.

In an instant, a black and red evil fire ignited on the Ancient Tree Armor. The wrinkled ancient tree bark began to wither rapidly as if its life force was being drained, and its color also began to turn gray.

In just over a dozen breaths, the Ancient Tree Armor had become dull and lightless.

The Red Flame Fire Poison also spread rapidly to Li Yuzhe.

Li Yuzhe sensed the danger and quickly conceded, "Stop burning! Stop burning! I concede!"

He turned around and jumped off the stage.

Seeing this, Wang Luoqing immediately controlled the Red Bull Fire Toad to stop the attack.Li Yuzhe, who had jumped off the arena, was lucky to be alive, but his ancient tree armor had been burnt to a charred state. His hair and body were also burnt in many places, and the fire poison had invaded his body. The meridians on the surface of his body were faintly glowing a dark red color, looking extremely abnormal.

Fortunately, the Changchun lineage had strong defenses and resistance to poison. With the energy of the longevity tree leaves circulating wave after wave, the fire poison was continuously dispelled. The burn marks on his body were visibly healing at a slow pace, and the abnormal poison gas on his body gradually disappeared.

One had to admit, although the Changchun lineage's combat power was average, their resistance and recovery abilities were truly extraordinary.

For a moment, the crowd under the arena was silent, all frightened by the power of the Red Bull Fire Toad.

If the Yimu Spirit Shield and the Ancient Tree Armor could restrain the poison of the bee swarm, then the Red Bull Fire Toad was the counter to the defensive methods of the Changchun Valley lineage.

In the sky, Lady Phantom Butterfly's eyebrows were raised in satisfaction, her eyes full of contentment.

Xuan Yao also couldn't help but sigh, "Congratulations, Lady, on accepting such a good disciple."

"Where, where~ Xuan Yao's disciple is not bad either." Lady Phantom Butterfly replied with a smile.

The two of them began to compliment each other.

Only the Changchun elder had a bitter expression on his face.

After all this time, this seemed to be the most severe face-slapping the Changchun Valley had ever received.

Forget it, he should think about how to improve the combat power of the new disciples.

Unfortunately, the Changchun Valley's cultivation method had its limitations. It was difficult to display its true power on the arena. After reaching the Heavenly Human Realm, these limitations would be much less, but attack was still not its strong point.

At this time, the disciples under the arena also reacted, cheering one after another, especially the sisters of the Wan Butterfly Valley, who were extremely excited.

Wang Luoqing, however, remained calm, just glancing at Wang Luoqiu from a distance, as if to say: I beat you faster.

"Humph~" Wang Luoqiu's eyes narrowed, and she slowly walked onto the stage, "Fifth Girl, let's use this Changchun Valley's arena. How about we spar?"

"Sixth Girl." Wang Luoqing did not back down, "Let's do it."

Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly in the air. The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Seeing that these two stunning girls seemed to be about to fight, the disciples of the Changchun Valley lineage were not excited, but their morale was even lower.

Brother Jinshan comforted, "We of the Changchun Valley lineage may not be able to beat them in a fight, but we have our own advantages~"

The new disciples were all spirited, "Brother Jinshan, what are our advantages?"

"Our 'Changchun True Scripture' has a very strong nourishing effect on the body. Under the same cultivation realm, we are definitely the ones who live the longest."

The new disciples didn't feel happy when they heard this, but their morale was even lower.

What's the use of living longer if we can't beat others in a fight? Isn't that just being a turtle?

"Sigh~"

Seeing this, Wang Shouzhe sighed softly.

The Changchun elder had given him guidance after all. It seemed that he had to step in this time.

With this thought, he slowly walked onto the arena and said to Wang Luoqing and Wang Luoqiu, "Wang Shouzhe, a foreign disciple of the Changchun Valley lineage, is here to witness the strength of the two ladies."

"What?"

Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luoqing, who were in a standoff, were stunned when they saw their fourth brother step onto the stage.

...
