Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 120: Defeating Lei Bao

At this moment, Lei Bao felt as if his chest had exploded, the pain was excruciating.

His organs seemed to have shifted from their original position.

Fortunately, he was a Body Refinement Cultivator, or that strike would have broken more than ten of his ribs.

Wiping the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, Lei Bao stood straight and his eyes held a trace of viciousness.

It had been a long time since anyone had beaten him into such a state.

"You really surprised me. The way you combine the shield with Body Refining Techniques and Fist Technique, the power is indeed terrifying," Lei Bao said, looking at Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an smiled slightly.

It didn’t surprise him that Lei Bao had noticed his integration of the shield with Fist Technique.

After all, anyone with a bit of discernment could essentially see it.

Right now, the elders on the stage had also noticed it.

"A talented youngster, actually combining the shield with Fist Technique, that’s quite interesting. If he joined our Tyrant Heavenly Sect, I might have taken him as my disciple and cultivated him well," Shi Tian immediately said.

On the side, Zhao Tian sneered.

Xu Ping’an was no mere youngster; this guy was the reincarnation of a powerful being.

When it came to seniority, none from the Beichen Sword Sect were qualified to take him as a disciple.

Shi Tian was merely at the Fourth Rank peak, how could he be qualified to take him as a disciple.

"This guy seems to have not only talent but also a high level of comprehension," Qin Mu couldn’t help but praise.

Behind him, Chen Guangcai nodded his head.

"This time, whether it’s in terms of mindset, comprehension, or talent, he’s very strong. Ultimately, he gives me the impression of being unfathomable, nothing like a young man should be," Chen Guangcai said.

"Right, so unless it’s absolutely necessary, we shouldn’t lightly offend him," Qin Mu said with a smile.

Qin Mu had read Xu Ping’an’s profile.

But after reading it, he felt even more that Xu Ping’an was extraordinary.

The difference between him before and after his marriage was too great.

This kind of contrast couldn’t be explained by an ordinary stroke of luck.

So, he could mostly guess that Xu Ping’an was a reincarnated being.

Such people were not unheard of in their Great Qin Immortal Dynasty.

Of course, reincarnated beings varied in strength, and it seemed that Xu Ping’an belonged to the stronger category.

"I hope you will surprise me again later," Qin Mu said with a smile, continuing to watch the arena.

By now, Lei Bao had already stood up again, holding a spirit weapon that was a huge axe in his hand.

"I originally did not intend to use a weapon, but it looks like you are worthy of making me do so," Lei Bao said.

The giant axe was entwined with thunder, its power tremendous.

Many in the crowd showed expressions of surprise.

"That’s the Furious Thunder Axe. Lei Bao actually got hold of this Spiritual Treasure from the Tyrant Heavenly Sect," someone exclaimed.

Although the Furious Thunder Axe was only a low-grade Spiritual Artifact.

It was still extremely famous among the low-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

This axe had a very strong enhancing effect, able to amplify Thunder Power to one hundred twenty percent.

In other words, wielding this axe, Lei Bao’s power could reach a full one hundred twenty percent of its strength.

Such a level of amplification was fatal for a combatant of the same level.

Xu Ping’an was also somewhat astonished.

This Thunder Axe was not weak.

Combined with Lei Bao’s strength, it really was formidable.

"I wonder if Xu Ping’an can withstand it," Long Yan expressed his concern.

"He should be able to. So far, have you noticed Ping’an’s true strength? Don’t forget, he has withstood the attack of a Fifth Rank powerhouse," said Zhao Kai.

Long Yan nodded his head.

The extent of Ping’an’s abilities was indeed unfathomable.

Li Qingyi remained silent, her expression as calm as ever.

She believed in Xu Ping’an and was certain he could defeat Lei Bao.

"Come on, let’s see how strong you are with the addition of your Spirit Weapon," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

In the face of Lei Bao holding the Spirit Weapon, his eyes did not show the slightest fear.

"Fine, then I’ll let you witness my true strength," Lei Bao roared loudly.

The next moment, holding his huge axe, he leapt into the air, bringing with him an overwhelming might, and viciously slashed at Xu Ping’an.

With this slash, endless thunder gathered, a massive thunder leopard materialized behind him, emitting a roar that seemed to split heaven and earth.

"Such terrifying power, He must have reached the realm of axe momentum with this move."

"Indeed, he has condensed axe momentum, and not just any, but the Heaven-Opening Momentum, which is rather formidable. Unfortunately, it’s not yet at its Great Accomplishment, only at the minor accomplishment stage, but its power is already very strong," someone in the crowd exclaimed in awe.

Other people also sighed, remarking that not many at the Third Rank of the Ninth Layer Realm would be able to withstand this axe blow.

"Xu Ping’an is going to lose," Shi Tian said with a smile.

Yu Lin nodded in agreement.

The power of this axe was too great—definitely not something the average person could withstand.

Zhao Tianlong didn’t speak, but his expression became somewhat stern.

Although Xu Ping’an was highly talented, his realm was significantly weaker.

It would be too difficult to block this attack.

However, at this moment, Xu Ping’an appeared calm and collected, watching the approaching thunder leopard while shaking his head slightly.

"Is this all you’ve got? If so, you’re destined to lose this battle," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

The next moment, an enormous shadow of Xuanwu emerged behind him, as he channeled strong True Yuan into the shield.

"Xuanwu Shield Technique, Fourth Form, Heaven and Earth Shatter!"

Xu Ping’an roared.

In an instant, he hurled his shield.

With that throw, the shield transformed into a beam of light, spinning out like a colossal Xuanwu.

It collided with the thunder leopard’s giant axe, carrying an incredible force.

"Boom!"

The force exploded.

Lei Bao was sent flying backward, axe and all.

"Pff!"

Blood spurted wildly.

Lei Bao’s figure fell on the thunder, and his axe landed not far from him.

His hands trembled continuously, unable to muster any strength.

The people around were dumbfounded.

What had just happened?

Did Xu Ping’an knock Lei Bao flying with just a shield?

The disciples of Li Huo Sect were utterly shocked.

The elders on the stage were also extremely shocked, but the way they looked at Xu Ping’an was different.

Though it was just a simple toss, Xu Ping’an’s shield throw had already reached the Great Accomplishment Realm of shield momentum.

Moreover, it was fused with the exceedingly powerful Thunder Power, a strike that could truly shatter heaven and earth.

It could probably smash a small mountain into powder.

Lei Bao being knocked flying was certainly no injustice.

Xu Ping’an retrieved the shield and took it back into his body.

"It’s over," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Lei Bao tried to stand up, but found he was completely unable to move his body.

"I declare that in this battle, Xu Ping’an of the Beichen Sword Sect is the victor, advancing to the top eight," the Great Elder of the Li Huo Sect announced.

Upon this declaration, the entire place was in an uproar.

Xu Ping’an had also advanced to the top eight.

It was unprecedented for the Beichen Sword Sect to have two members advance to the top eight this time.

Situ Feng and Tang Yu of Li Huo Sect both had solemn expressions on their faces.

Lei Hu’s brows were furrowed to the extreme.

As for Xue Wen, he was cursing in his heart: "Lei Bao, this waste, couldn’t even take down someone at the Third Rank Sixth Layer; Tyrant Heavenly Sect really is becoming more useless."

His gaze towards Xu Ping’an carried a strong chill.

Xu Ping’an felt Xue Wen’s gaze and his own eyes instantly turned icy cold.

The next one will be you!
