Chapter 32: Crazy Farming to Exchange for the Enemy-Breaking Pill!

The three-day deadline set by Wan Hong was like a big stone, pressing on the hearts of everyone in the Wang family.

Everyone knew the news of the final ultimatum.

It was like an invisible dark cloud, covering the entire Wang Family Old Residence.

The air was filled with tension and a murderous intent.

The decisive battle was no longer a distant threat.

It was a sword hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment.

In the Wang Family Courtyard, the atmosphere was oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

All men who could wield a weapon, old and young, were mobilized.

They gathered in various parts of the courtyard, silently sharpening their crude weapons.

There were spears, there were simple sabers, and there were sharpened hardwood sticks.

The 'shing-shing' sound of sharpening blades came in waves, especially loud in the quiet.

On each person's face, the expression was complex.

Some were afraid of death, some didn't know the future, but more were driven to desperation by a fierce determination.

They knew that behind them were their wives and children, the home they had lived in for generations.

There was nowhere left to retreat.

Women and children were arranged to stay in the safest few secret chambers and cellars.

In the darkness, only soft sobs and low prayers could be heard.

They held their children, pleading to heaven and to their ancestors for a way to survive.

Wang Shan stood in the middle of the courtyard, under that old pagoda tree.

Just as dawn broke, his figure was slightly stooped, but he stood very straight.

Like an old gun that had been through many battles.

His gaze slowly swept over each clansperson in the courtyard.

He saw their fear, unease, and desperate resolve on their faces.

He didn't say any rousing words.

Saying those things now would be useless.

He simply walked quietly from one end to the other.

He carefully examined each person's preparations.

He would stop to teach the younger clansmen how to hold a spear.

He told them how to conserve strength and how to thrust accurately.

"Hold the spear steady, lower your center of gravity, aim before you act, don't panic."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a reassuring strength.

He would also go to the older, experienced clansmen and pat their shoulders.

Without words, a single glance was enough for them to understand.

Such silent actions were more comforting than pleasant words.

The clanspeople looked at the Family Head's wrinkled but calm face, and their inner panic seemed to lessen a bit.

Yes, the old Family Head was so composed; what reason did they have to fall first?

But only Wang Shan himself knew how great the pressure in his heart was.

Beneath his calm exterior, his heart was anxious to the point of being unbearable.

His consciousness entered the Spirit Plant System Space.

He watched the numbers jump on the virtual panel——【Spirit Plant Points: 3100】.

These were the points he had earned over the past few days by not sleeping and desperately farming.

But he was still short by a full 400 points to exchange for the 【Obstacle-Breaking Pill】 that would help him break through and increase his strength to face Wan Hong!

Time, it's too tight!

Wan Hong could launch a total attack at any moment.

He must gather enough points before the great battle begins.

Otherwise, even with reinforced arrays, facing Wan Hong himself at the peak of the ninth level of Body Refining, the Wang family would hardly win.

He diverted some attention to monitor the outside movements.

He felt the killing intent in the air growing stronger.

He devoted most of his energy to the spirit fields.

The last few mu of spirit fields were planted with the fast-maturing 【Condense Spirit Flower】.

He didn't hesitate and used the 【Batch Ripening】 function again.

A faint green light rotated over the spirit fields.

Spirit Plant Points dwindled rapidly, but those Condense Spirit Flowers also bloomed and matured rapidly.

Every second of time was extremely precious to him.

"Dad!"

His eldest son, Wang Zhize, quickly walked up to Wang Shan's side.

His voice was kept low, betraying an anxiety he couldn't hide and a slight tremor.

"The family's spirit stones…… if we keep using them at this rate, they can at most keep the array running at full power for two double-hours."

Two double-hours!

Those words struck Wang Shan's heart like a heavy hammer.

Wang Zheze reported next: "The hard crossbows, rolling stones, and log beams prepared in the rear courtyard have been moved to the important places by the wall, and personnel have been arranged."

His expression was very complicated.

He relies on his father and worries about the future.

But more than that, it is the eldest son's sense of responsibility and determination to fight to the death.

Wang Shan slowly turned around, looking at his son who is no longer young.

He could see the red bloodshot lines and fatigue in his son's eyes.

These days, Wang Zheze has helped him handle many matters, hardly sleeping.

He nodded, his voice still that steady: "Very good."

"Tell everyone to hold their positions; without my order, no one is allowed to move randomly."

"Most importantly, follow my command."

His gaze turned sharp, sweeping over Wang Zheze and over all the clansmen in the courtyard who were listening with ears perked up.

"Remember, behind us is our home!"

"We have no retreat!"

"Either live or die, it's up to this time!"

He said these few sentences firmly, with a reckless, ruthless vigor.

……

At the same time, the Wan Family Branch Hall dozens of li away also had an equally tense atmosphere.

But it was a different kind of tension, filled with the excitement of wanting to kill.

Wan Hong, the Wan Family Head who has been domineering in Luo Bay County for many years, was standing on the high platform in front of the branch hall's council hall.

He wore a fitted black outfit, making his already tall stature even more intimidating.

At his waist hung a fierce-looking beast bone curved blade.

The scabbard was dark black, yet it seemed to emit a menacing aura that made people uneasy.

Beneath the platform stood a crowd, a dark mass.

At the front were Wan Hong's capable subordinates, four formidable cultivators whose cultivation had reached the seventh or eighth layer of Body Refining, their eyes looking fierce.

Behind them stood dozens of Wan Family guards wearing the same clothes, holding knives, with a mighty presence and murderous aura.

Chen Tianfeng was also in the rear of the crowd, his complexion poor, his eyes darting about.

He was invited by the Wan Family, said to be assistance, but actually he was forced; he harbors resentment toward the Wang Family in his heart, but also feels uneasy.

Wan Hong's eyes were sharp, like an eagle's, scanning the people below; those he saw felt a chill in their hearts and quickly lowered their heads.

"Today!" Wan Hong finally spoke, his voice cold, without a trace of emotion, but everyone heard him clearly: "Today is the time for our Wan Family to completely eradicate the Wang Family!"

"Old dog Wang Shan is still resisting; he killed our Wan Family's steward, his crime deserves death, and his family should also be exterminated!" His words were overbearing and also cruel.

"Follow me, level the Wang Family!" "Leave no chickens or dogs!" The last four characters, he uttered them one by one, with a bloody tone.

"Level the Wang Family! Leave no chickens or dogs!" Those four formidable subordinates immediately shouted loudly, their voices filled with excitement.

"Level the Wang Family! Leave no chickens or dogs!" The guards below also shouted along, their voices loud, their momentum strong.

Chen Tianfeng was behind the crowd, watching these, his eyes flashing with resentment and anticipation.

He seemed to have already seen the Wang Family breached, Wang Shan's desperate look, and the scene of Wang Family members bleeding; that would be his moment of revenge!

The three days had finally arrived, the atmosphere very tense. At dawn, Wan Hong waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Depart!"

"Boom!" The prepared troops surged out of the Wan Family Branch Hall like a flood, rushing along the street toward the Wang Family.

At the same time, the black flying vessel representing the Wan Family's might rose again.

It hovered in the air above Luo Bay County, like a vulture, its huge shadow covering every corner of the county town, making people feel afraid.

Everyone was looking at the small courtyard in the south of the city that had been besieged for a long time; some were worried, some were afraid, and some were taking pleasure in others' misfortune.

Inside the Wang Family Old Residence. Almost when the Wan Family troops set out, Wang Shan opened his eyes! A flash of light passed through his eyes.

A strong pressure came from afar, that was the power of a Body Refining Ninth Layer Peak expert! It has come! Finally come!

"Here it comes!" Wang Shan stood up, straightened his waist, he seemed to have become again that formidable Wang Family Head of old. "Everyone, take your positions!"

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" He shouted loudly, using Spiritual Power to let his voice reach every corner of the manor.

The originally quiet Wang Family Courtyard suddenly became lively! The sound of sharpening blades stopped, and the sound of speech also ceased.

The Wang Family's younger generation all took up weapons and ran to their assigned posts.

Those on the wall nervously drew their crossbows; those in the trap area held their breath; those responsible for throwing stones stared outward.

In the secret chamber, the women's and children's prayers also ceased, leaving only silence and heartbeat.

The upgraded Misty Spirit Gathering Array has already begun operating; the green light shield is thicker than before, protecting the Wang Family Courtyard and emanating Spiritual Power.

The moment of the decisive battle has arrived! Everyone is looking outside the courtyard wall, at that pressure drawing ever closer.

Wang Shan stood in the middle of the courtyard, raising his head to look at the sky; his gaze was very calm, but also carried a mad determination.

In his mind, the number on the Spirit Plant System interface's Spirit Plant Points changed to 3502! Enough!

"Obstacle-Breaking Pill, exchange!"
