Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 112 The First Among The Four Great Sects

Twenty!

Forty!

Eighty!

...

As Xu Ping’an and Li Qingyi crazily slew their foes, Xu Ping’an’s kill count far surpassed the Yudao Sect, and quickly approached that of the Tyrant Heavenly Sect.

This process didn’t last long, and soon Xu Ping’an overtook the Tyrant Heavenly Sect.

He began pursuing the Li Huo Sect.

However, Zhao Kai was having a hard time holding on.

"If you can’t hold on, just get out," Xu Ping’an said to Zhao Kai and the others.

Zhao Kai and the others nodded.

But they didn’t immediately leave, choosing to shatter their tokens only when they truly couldn’t hold on any longer.

Soon, the last Long Yan was teleported out.

Yet Xu Ping’an and Li Qingyi were still persisting.

Xu Ping’an held a shield in hand, constantly waving it.

Li Qingyi’s sharp sword in her hand, continuously flashing with cold light.

If it were anyone else, their True Yuan would have been long exhausted.

But Xu Ping’an had hardly used any True Yuan in the previous fights, relying solely on physical strength.

And physical strength lasted much longer than True Yuan.

It wasn’t until just now that Xu Ping’an started using True Yuan.

"Damn, the Sixth Layer of Meridian Opening Realm? This Xu Ping’an is actually at the Sixth Layer?" someone exclaimed in shock.

All of a sudden, everyone was stunned.

A Sixth Layer of Meridian Opening Realm using True Yuan only upon reaching the Fourth Layer?

This is way too exaggerated!

The disciples of the Li Huo Sect were all dumbfounded.

Even the competing disciples were shocked. Was this guy’s physical strength really so powerful?

In the stands, Li Tianqi was utterly astounded.

"The peak of the Sixth Layer of Meridian Opening Realm? How much time has passed? How did this guy cultivate?" Li Tianqi marveled in his heart.

It had only been twenty days, yet Xu Ping’an had broken through from the Ninth Layer of the Second Rank to the Sixth Layer of the Third Rank?

This rate of improvement was terrifying.

If he knew that Xu Ping’an was advancing his cultivation by devouring Monster Cores, he probably wouldn’t be surprised.

After all, if one could swallow Monster Cores, what else couldn’t they do?

Within the Tyrant Heavenly Sect, Xu Chengyu’s face turned ashen.

Xu Ping’an was at the Sixth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm?

And he was so strong?

Didn’t that make his previous mocking of Xu Ping’an a complete joke?

At this moment, Xu Chengyu wished he could bury himself in a hole.

When Qin Mu saw this scene, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"The Third Rank Sixth Layer is neither high nor low, but it’s Thunder Attribute True Elemental," Qin Mu muttered to himself.

Xu Ping’an had shown great strength, but it was clearly not the outcome he had hoped for.

"Could it be I was really mistaken?" Qin Mu wondered.

...

Xu Ping’an was slashing fiercely inside the tower.

These Third Layer Realm Spiritual Bodies couldn’t even touch him.

With his shield waving, he caused these Spiritual Bodies to burst into pieces.

In just the time it takes for three sticks of incense to burn, Xu Ping’an and Li Qingyi combined had killed over three hundred people.

"Junior Brother Ping’an, you don’t need to help me screen enemies anymore. Now that it’s just the two of us, why not join forces and wipe them out?" Li Qingyi suggested, as Xu Ping’an had been helping her take care of most of the foes.

So, her consumption wasn’t substantial.

Now, she actively proposed to join forces with Xu Ping’an to fight at full strength.

"Alright!" Xu Ping’an responded.

The next moment, a Fire Phoenix emerged behind Li Qingyi.

Her sword burst forth with dazzling flames, and the Sword Radiance swept across.

One sword strike killed more than a dozen Spiritual Bodies.

Xu Ping’an also launched the Xuanwu Crashing Mountain technique again.

This impact, with the support of True Yuan, directly obliterated over twenty Spiritual Bodies.

Then Xu Ping’an charged into the crowd of Spiritual Bodies like a hungry wolf among sheep, wildly slaying them.

```

Soon, all five hundred spiritual bodies were slain.

"Did they get through?"

The crowd on the field exclaimed in astonishment.

Had the Beichen Sword Sect actually made it through the fourth layer and entered the fifth?

Doesn’t that mean the Beichen Sword Sect has become the first among all sects?

How... how is this possible?

"Hahaha, my Beichen Sword Sect is number one." Zhao Tianlong was even more delighted, shouting with joy.

Shi Tian and Yu Lin looked at each other in disbelief.

They had actually bet against the Beichen Sword Sect, wagering they wouldn’t be able to get into the third layer, yet here they were in the fifth!

The Li Huo Sect at this moment was as silent as the dead.

Was the first place snatched away?

How utterly humiliating!

The Li Huo Sect’s sect leader’s face twitched, his complexion ashen.

The competing disciples from the Li Huo Sect also wore expressions of unwillingness.

Their first place had actually been taken away by the Beichen Sword Sect.

Zhao Kai and the others were beyond thrilled.

...

The fifth layer of the Illusion Spirit Tower.

Xu Ping’an and Li Qingyi stood side by side, facing down a thousand Third Rank Fifth Layer Realm spiritual bodies, they too felt a terrifying pressure.

"Just kill freely, as many as you can." Xu Ping’an said.

Li Qingyi nodded.

Then the two of them charged into the crowd.

About the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn, Xu Ping’an and Li Qingyi were teleported out.

On the fifth layer, they had killed a total of thirty-six.

This was already an incredibly astonishing accomplishment.

Two people facing a thousand Third Rank Fifth Layer, killing thirty-six.

This was enough to prove their formidable combat power.

"If I’d used my sword, I could have killed even more, but there’s no need for that now. However, it seems this girl has been hiding her strength." Xu Ping’an looked towards Li Qingyi beside him.

When he went all out just now, he noticed Li Qingyi’s achievement in swordsmanship had seemingly reached great accomplishment in Sword Momentum, and there was even a hint of Sword Intent.

This was not something one could see through the River Mountains Map.

Therefore, Xu Ping’an suspected that Li Qingyi had already broken through to the level of Sword Intent.

"Interesting, she has learned to hide her skills well." Xu Ping’an smiled.

Li Qingyi’s breakthrough to the level of Sword Intent was good news.

With that, she might be able, on her strength alone, to enter the top five.

"Why is Junior Brother Ping’an looking at me like that?" Li Qingyi asked somewhat nervously.

"Not bad, it looks like you have a chance for the top five this time." Xu Ping’an smiled.

"Has Junior Brother Ping’an figured it out?" Li Qingyi asked with some surprise.

"I’ve guessed a bit, but not completely. I’m hoping you’ll surprise me." Xu Ping’an smiled.

"Definitely, I’ll make sure to give Junior Brother Ping’an a big surprise." Li Qingyi smiled.

"Oh?" Xu Ping’an seemed somewhat surprised.

Could it be that Li Qingyi was still holding back?

It seemed that this girl had concealed her abilities quite well.

And just as Xu Ping’an emerged on the outside.

The entire Li Huo Sect was thoroughly shaken.

This time, had the Beichen Sword Sect actually become the biggest dark horse, taking first place among all sects?

This was just too unbelievable.

Zhao Tianlong and Xie Tianqiong were so excited that they were beyond themselves.

For how many years had the Beichen Sword Sect not tasted such glory?

Now, he would have loved nothing more than to rush back to his sect and share the news with everyone.

"Don’t get too excited too soon. The team competition is just a superficial honor; the individual competition is the key. Only by securing a place in the top five can you qualify to represent Tianlong County in the Immortal Dynasty trials." Upon seeing Zhao Tianlong’s pride, Yu Lin immediately scoffed.

"We, the Beichen Sword Sect, are also at the top!" Zhao Tianlong sneered.

"You..." Yu Lin felt stifled with frustration.

Shi Tian, on the other hand, just shook his head.

What’s the point in provoking him now, isn’t that just asking for trouble?

Look at me, now’s the time to be the shrinking turtle and pretend nothing happened.
