Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chen Tianqing was unwilling, extremely unwilling. His gaze towards Xu Ping'an was filled with intense fury. He had actually lost face in front of Li Qingyi, how could he tolerate that? "Again." Chen Tianqing bellowed, charging at Xu Ping'an once more. This time Chen Tianqing wasn't careless, as he defended his head while attacking. His body was protected by spiritual armor, he needn't worry about Xu Ping'an harming his torso. Therefore, it was still very difficult for Xu Ping'an to kill him. Xu Ping'an's eyebrows were also slightly frowned at this moment. He had achieved that effect previously by catching Chen Tianqing off guard. But now, killing Chen Tianqing had become quite difficult. However, even if he couldn't kill Chen Tianqing, he had to make him pay a price. "Die!" Chen Tianqing roared, stabbing with his sword. The True Yuan was vigorous, and the Sword Qi was fierce. It must be said, this strike was indeed strong, not weaker than the usual Sea-Splitting Realm Ninth Layer late phase. Chen Tianqing's cultivation technique was at least of the Sixth Rank, and his combat technique had also reached the Third Rank. Overall, Chen Tianqing had a solid foundation. Although he lacked some experience, his strength was still formidable. It was a pity that his opponent was himself! Xu Ping'an swiftly attacked with his sword, not using the Mountain-breaking Sword Move but the third technique of Thunder Third Layer Sword instead. With each move flowing smoothly, he rapidly made dozens of continuous cuts in an instant. And every sword stroke was naturally fluid, giving Chen Tianqing no chance to catch his breath. Chen Tianqing was instantly flustered, only able to defend passively, simply unable to parry. Xu Ping'an's assault forced Chen Tianqing to retreat again and again, with his sword only able to fend off attack after attack. However, the force transmitted by Xu Ping'an's sword became increasingly terrifying, growing with each strike, numbing his arms and making his internal organs shake. "Puh!" Finally, Chen Tianqing couldn't parry any longer, and his Spirit Sword was knocked flying. And Xu Ping'an kicked his jaw so hard he shattered it. "Puh!" Chen Tianqing immediately vomited blood and flew backward, his teeth shattered. Xu Ping'an's eyes were sharp, his sword thrusting instantly, aiming to pierce through Chen Tianqing's head. "How dare you!" The Third Rank expert who had been watching everything from a distance suddenly shouted angrily, his figure flashed, and he appeared directly in front of Chen Tianqing. He struck out with his palm. The True Yuan turned into a terrifying surge of vigor Qi, instantly repelling Xu Ping'an over ten meters. True Yuan released externally! Xu Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly; the strength of a Third Rank expert was indeed very strong. A casual palm contained such terrifying True Elemental Power. Although the palm didn't cause Xu Ping'an to sustain critical injuries, it did make Xu Ping'an's Qi-Blood churn uncomfortably. Had it been those cultivators with weaker physical bodies, even those at the Ninth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm would not have been able to withstand that palm. "Xu Ping'an!" Li Qingyi immediately said with concern. "I'm fine, I can handle it," Xu Ping'an stopped Li Qingyi. Her eyebrows were slightly knit together, her expression grave. Third Rank experts, and moreover, there were two of them. Even if Xu Ping'an was strong, he wasn't a match for them, right? This was now thoroughly troublesome. Xu Ping'an's gaze was grave, his heart also considering how to deal with these two Third Rank experts. Although he had anticipated that Chen Tianqing would bring a Third Rank expert over, he hadn't expected there to be two. In the Wilderness Forest, he had exerted all his strength in a burst, managing to kill the other party only because of their carelessness. It would probably be difficult to hope for these opponents to underestimate him now. Chen Tianqing was nearly going mad at this point. He had actually had his jaw kicked to pieces by Xu Ping'an, and he would probably be unable to eat anything henceforth. Moreover, this had happened in front of Li Qingyi. "Attack… him… for me," Chen Tianqing bellowed from his mouth, despite the severe pain. The First Layer Third Rank cultivator immediately replied with sharp eyes, "Yes!" Then he looked towards Xu Ping'an. The opponent's aura was extremely strong, with an intense oppressive force. This person's strength was even greater than the Third Rank leader Xu Ping'an had killed before, and not by a small margin. "Die!" The Third Rank expert took action instantly, his body's True Yuan surging, he struck a palm towards Xu Ping'an. True Yuan burst from the palm center, instantly forming a True Yuan palm, which harshly slapped down at Xu Ping'an. Xu Ping'an's eyes narrowed, and he immediately used Ghost Cloud Step to evade the palm strike. The True Yuan palm strike burst forth, pulverizing an entire wall in the distance. The onlookers' faces changed dramatically at the sight. Third Rank is too strong. Xu Ping'an's expression also grew serious as he threw a Purple Spirit Pill into his mouth, swiftly recovering the True Yuan he had expended earlier. The previous battle had indeed taken a toll on him. "Hmph, I want to see how long you can run." That Third Rank powerhouse attacked again, launching a series of palm strikes. Each palm strike was immensely powerful. Xu Ping'an dodged two of them, but he couldn't avoid the third palm and had to resist it with all his strength. He was sent flying by the palm strike, spewing blood from his mouth. Li Qingyi and the others were shocked. Zhou Mengyue, however, sneered coldly. Xu Ping'an, even if you are strong, how can you overpower a Third Rank? You're still on a path to death. Xu Ping'an climbed out of the rubble, his clothes torn and looking extremely dejected, staggering so much that he almost fell. "Die!" The Third Rank powerhouse also moved rapidly towards Xu Ping'an, seemingly intending to finish him off completely. The expressions on the faces of Li Qingyi and others changed drastically. "Die!" Chen Tianqing's eyes were also exceptionally cold. However, at this moment, Xu Ping'an's mouth curled into a cold smile. "Now's my chance!" Xu Ping'an chuckled, and a terrifying power of thunder erupted from his spine. The pattern of thunder instantly spread across his entire back, resembling a coiled dragon. As the power of thunder surged, it poured instantly into the Semi-Spiritual Weapon, the Spirit Sword, in his hand. The might of the Spirit Sword soared in an instant! "Not good!" The expression of that Third Rank powerhouse changed instantly, a very bad premonition arising in his heart. The might of the thunder on the long sword in Xu Ping'an's hands made him feel palpitations. Therefore, he stopped immediately, planning to retreat. "Thinking of retreating now? Too late!" Xu Ping'an chuckled lightly, and the Sharp Sword in his hand cleaved forth instantly. A terrifying radiance of the Thunder Sword tore through the void in an instant. "No!" The Third Rank powerhouse was instantly cleaved by the Thunder Sword's Radiance, his body splitting in two. "What?" The distant crowd was dumbfounded. Li Qingyi, Sun Qiu, and the others were also in disbelief. To slay a Third Rank with a single sword strike? What kind of horrific Sword Move was that? And the Sword Radiance that Xu Ping'an had just unleashed, was that True Yuan released externally? No, it wasn't True Yuan! The power of that thunder seemed even stronger than True Yuan! Zhou Mengyue was also stunned! Xu Ping'an killed a Third Rank? He actually had a trump card remaining? Chen Tianqing was also extremely alarmed, feeling a surge of intense fear in his heart. If Xu Ping'an had used that move on him just now, even if he had Spiritual Armor to protect him, most likely he would still be doomed. The Third Rank powerhouse at the Second Layer Realm also had an extremely solemn expression. Even if he faced Xu Ping'an's sword, he probably wouldn't die but would surely sustain severe injuries. Could this guy still execute a second sword strike? "Crack!" Just then, the Semi-Spiritual Weapon in Xu Ping'an's hands shattered, falling to the ground as fragments. Shattered? Everyone was shocked. The Semi-Spiritual Weapon actually broke, was the force just now that horrifying that it shattered a Semi-Spiritual Weapon? Chen Tianqing and that Third Rank powerhouse, however, took joy in this. With the Semi-Spiritual Weapon broken, Xu Ping'an might still have some energy left, but he probably couldn't execute that move from before, for he no longer had a Spiritual Weapon. "Ultimately it's not a true Spiritual Weapon. The power of the Thunder Devouring Sword not even one ten-thousandth of it could be withstood," Xu Ping'an said with a sigh, tossing aside the sword hilt and taking a slight breath. Fortunately, he had slain a Third Rank.
