Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Spiritual Artifact? Impossible! How could Xu Ping'an have a Spiritual Artifact? Zhou Kuiyu went completely mad. He had just intended to have Zhou Muye hold Xu Ping'an back for a moment so that he could use the Spiritual Artifact to unleash his strongest move and completely slay Xu Ping'an. But he hadn't expected that Xu Ping'an would seize this gap to strike first, killing Zhou Muye. A Cultivator of the Ninth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm just fell like that. Adding the deaths of the second and third brothers from before, now the Zhou Family's top combat power was reduced to him alone. In this way, even if he were to eventually kill Xu Ping'an, the Zhou Family would be greatly weakened. Damn it! Originally, he thought that killing Xu Ping'an would be a piece of cake, but now it had turned into this mess. Zhou Mengyue was also stunned. The Great Elder is dead too? Semi-Spiritual Weapon? Xu Ping'an actually has a Semi-Spiritual Weapon? Yes, this Semi-Spiritual Weapon belonged to Chen Tianqing, which means that the person who broke into Chen Tianqing's residence that night was Xu Ping'an. Bastard! Zhou Mengyue was filled with immense anger. She had never even considered this possibility, or else she wouldn't have been successfully ambushed by Xu Ping'an. However, it was already too late for regrets. Li Qingyi and the others were also astonished; they hadn't expected Xu Ping'an to actually kill Zhou Muye, something completely beyond their expectations. "Zhou Kuiyu, did you think that just because you have a Semi-Spiritual Weapon, I don't have one?" Xu Ping'an chuckled. This Spirit Sword was originally ruined and couldn't be stored inside the body. But a few days ago, Xu Ping'an thought that Chen Tianqing and his group wouldn't let him off, so he secretly re-refined the sword, and now he could store it inside his body. He had been nurturing the sword with his Qi-Blood over this period, enabling it to recover to the level of a Semi-Spiritual Weapon. Originally, he had planned to use this sword against Chen Tianqing, but he ended up using it against the Zhou Family instead. However, he didn't mind, for dealing with Chen Tianqing, he still had a contingency plan. Zhou Kuiyu's eyes were blood red with overwhelming murderous intent, "Xu Ping'an, you're courting death!" True Yuan surged continuously within him, converging into the Spirit Sword in his hand. Clearly, he intended to go all out with this strike. He wanted to utterly slay Xu Ping'an. Xu Ping'an looked at the Spirit Sword in his hands, his eyes icy; the power of this sword was immense. With the aid of this Semi-Spiritual Weapon, it probably reached the stage of True Qi externalization. If this sword strike were to land, he might indeed be slain. Yet, the corner of Xu Ping'an's mouth curled up in a cold smile. "Pfft!" Just then, Zhou Kuiyu spat out a mouthful of blood. The newly gathered True Yuan instantly dissipated. "How can this be... how is this possible?" Zhou Kuiyu looked shocked, attempting to activate his True Yuan again, only to feel a wave of intense pain and vomit blood once more. "What's going on?" Li Qingyi and the others were all shocked. It seemed something was wrong with Zhou Kuiyu. "Father!" Zhou Mengyue's face turned pale with shock as well. How could her father suddenly vomit blood when he was fine before? "It was you, when did you poison me?" Zhou Kuiyu looked towards Xu Ping'an with utter astonishment. He had been silently poisoned? Xu Ping'an chuckled, "Only now you notice? Third Rank Superior Grade Thousand Insect Pill, I turned it into a poison and applied it to the edge of my sword." As soon as Xu Ping'an said this, Zhou Kuiyu's pupils shrank. Just now, Xu Ping'an's Cultivation skyrocketed, cutting his arm. It was merely a sword mark, he didn't take it seriously, not expecting Xu Ping'an to have poisoned the blade. The poison wasn't supposed to act so fast, but he had been pushing his True Yuan to its limits in order to perform his strongest move. Now the poison had spread throughout his body; he felt as if there were millions of venomous insects crawling all over him. As for the others, they were essentially all quickly slain by Xu Ping'an, with no chance for the poison to take effect. "You are so despicable!" Zhou Kuiyu roared furiously. "Despicable? Perhaps, but for me, killing the enemy is naturally the most effective and best method," Xu Ping'an said with a faint smile. "Ah!" Zhou Kuiyu let out an incredibly miserable scream, his hands frantically scratching all over his body. His fingers tore through his skin, blood streaming down, yet he still scratched madly. Li Qingyi and the others frowned slightly, but they said nothing. After all, it was the Zhou Family who had attempted to kill Xu Ping'an first. "Father!" Zhou Mengyue nearly cried when she saw this scene. She then hurriedly looked at Xu Ping'an and implored, "Xu Ping'an, give me the antidote quickly." "Are you threatening me?" Xu Ping'an scoffed. Zhou Mengyue bit her lip hard, watching her father in frenzy, she knelt down with a thump, "Xu Ping'an, I beg you, for the sake of our one-day marriage, spare my father. I guarantee the Zhou Family will never be your enemy again, and if you wish, I can be with you again. I'm willing to give you everything, including my Yuan Hong." From a distance, Li Qingyi's brows furrowed slightly, and she turned her head to look at Xu Ping'an. However, Xu Ping'an's face showed a trace of mocking smile. "I've already said, I don't care for your Yuan Hong, and whether the Zhou Family is an enemy to me or not, I don't care either. As for the poison in your father, sorry, I don't have an antidote," Xu Ping'an said with a light laugh. Zhou Mengyue's face instantly turned extremely ashen. Had the Zhou Family truly met its end? Looking at her father, who had scratched himself until he was bloody and ragged, she suddenly felt an immense sense of regret. Yes! She was regretful! The Zhou Family's downfall had all been due to her. If she hadn't offended Xu Ping'an, would it have come to this? If Xu Ping'an were her husband, then at this moment, his opportunities would also have been hers, and perhaps she would have been even stronger than she was now. But she had made a mistake, offended Xu Ping'an, and caused her father to suffer this fate. Now the Zhou Family was finished! She was finished! "Xu Ping'an, you must have a way to save my father, right? As long as you're willing to save my father, I will do anything you ask," Zhou Mengyue pleaded desperately, tears pouring down like rain. Xu Ping'an shook his head, not bothering to look at her. In fact, he did have a way to save Zhou Kuiyu, which was the same as what he had done to save Li Qingyi before, by feeding Zhou Kuiyu his own blood. But would Xu Ping'an expose his secret just for Zhou Kuiyu? Li Qingyi, of course, also knew this, and when she saw that Xu Ping'an did not take action to save him, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in her heart. If Xu Ping'an had saved him, it would have meant that he still had feelings for Zhou Mengyue. But now that Xu Ping'an had not, it meant that in Xu Ping'an's heart, Zhou Mengyue's status was not as high as hers. "Trash! The Zhou Family is truly trash." Just then, a cold voice rang out. Then three figures walked in. Xu Ping'an's eyes narrowed instantly. As expected, they had come! Li Qingyi and the other two also changed their expressions. "Princely Heir, please save my father!" Zhou Mengyue clutched at straws, hurriedly pleading with Chen Tianqing. Chen Tianqing, however, couldn't be bothered to look at her. He had heard everything she had just said to Xu Ping'an. A person who groveled at Xu Ping'an's feet did not deserve to be his, Chen Tianqing's, Princely Heir's consort. "Get lost!" Chen Tianqing kicked Zhou Mengyue away with one foot. Then he signaled to the Third Rank expert behind him with a glance. The Third Rank expert immediately understood and stepped forward to Zhou Kuiyu, striking him with a palm. Zhou Kuiyu's skull instantly burst, and he was killed on the spot. Zhou Mengyue watched this happen and became completely stunned. Her father was dead? Killed by Chen Tianqing's hand?
