Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 147: All Means Exhausted

"Slaughter him for me!"

The middle-aged beauty’s eyes were split with rage, her face twisted into an angry roar.

At this moment, she was on the verge of going mad with anger.

Her only son was actually killed right in front of her eyes?

This was her only son!

"I want you dead!" the middle-aged beauty became even more ferocious.

Three elders behind her immediately lunged towards Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an had been aware of the three men all along.

The strength of these three was not weak—one was at the Fourth Rank Second Layer Realm, another at the Fourth Rank Fourth Layer, and the last one was even stronger at the Fifth Layer Realm.

The three of them attacking together could pose a challenge even to a typical Fourth Rank Sixth Layer warrior.

However, Xu Ping’an was fearless.

Watching the three assailants, a hint of cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Severing the Seas!"

The Sunrise Sword in Xu Ping’an’s hands was unsheathed.

And the moment the Sunrise Sword appeared, it erupted with a heart-palpitating fluctuation.

In this period, Xu Ping’an had been nurturing his Sunrise Sword, and now its unleashed power was unmatched.

Xu Ping’an’s Sword Intent surged, and in an instant, he brushed past the Fourth Rank Second Layer Realm elder.

"Puchi!"

The head of the Fourth Rank Second Layer Realm elder fell, blood spouting like a fountain.

"What?"

The other two elders about to attack Xu Ping’an were instantly shocked.

Killing a Fourth Rank Second Layer Realm in a second?

How was that possible?

And that palpitating sensation just now, could it be Sword Intent?

The bystanders were equally astonished beyond measure.

They more or less recognized the elder from Tianlong Trade Association.

In their eyes, such a figure was like a celestial being.

Yet now, such a figure was slain with a single sword strike?

This powerful visual impact greatly shook their minds.

At this moment, Old Drunk was completely dumbfounded.

Xu Ping’an’s strength far exceeded his expectations.

With Xu Ping’an’s abilities, even in Tianlong County, he would be of high standing.

Yet these days, Xu Ping’an had listened to his wild brags without rebuking him even once.

This moved him greatly.

Now, even if he were to die, he would rest in peace.

His only concern was for Xu Ping’an’s safety.

The middle-aged beauty was also greatly surprised; the young man turned out to be so powerful.

At such a young age, yet with such strength, they could not let him go today, or it would be very difficult to kill him later.

"Great Elder, Second Elder, kill him for me, he must be cut into a thousand pieces," the middle-aged beauty screamed.

"Yes!" The two elders immediately responded.

They then executed their killing moves, attacking Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an’s displayed strength had made them feel a great threat.

Therefore, facing Xu Ping’an, they went all out.

The two elders, one at Fourth Rank Fifth Layer and the other at Fourth Rank Fourth Layer, attacked Xu Ping’an from two directions, nearly sealing off all his escape routes.

Facing the attack of the two, warriors even at the Fourth Rank Sixth Layer, let alone the Seventh Layer, would find it troublesome.

At this moment, Xu Ping’an also felt a huge threat; both of their strengths were very formidable.

One wielded an Intermediate Grade Spirit Sword, and the other an Intermediate Grade Combat Blade.

Both attacks were incredibly swift and fierce.

"Die!"

Both yelled simultaneously, their attacks sweeping over Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an’s eyes also instantly turned extremely sharp.

He knew that, relying solely on his own combat power, it would be difficult to kill these two elders.

Therefore, he needed the element of surprise.

"Let’s see just how powerful this imitation Heaven Peering Mirror I’ve made is," Xu Ping’an said with a slight smile.

The next moment, he poured all his True Yuan into the Heaven Peering Realm.

The Heaven Peering Mirror flew out from his body, bursting out with an incomparably powerful spiritual light.

"What?"

Both of them were greatly shocked, having a very bad premonition.

However, Xu Ping’an sneered.

"Die!"

Xu Ping’an stimulated the Heaven Peering Mirror with all his strength.

"Bang!"

A terrifyingly powerful beam of light exploded out from the Heaven Peering Realm in an instant.

The beam of light shot forth explosively, instantly piercing through the chest of that Fourth Rank, Fourth Layer Realm elder.

"Boom!"

That Fourth Rank, Fourth Layer Realm elder’s chest was instantly blown open with a large hole, the wound charred black.

"What... what sort of treasure is this?"

The Fourth Rank, Fifth Layer Realm elder was immensely horrified, and he immediately retreated hastily.

In that brief moment, if the beam had targeted him, he probably would already be dead by now.

The beautiful woman from afar was also shocked beyond measure.

"A Superior Grade Spiritual Treasure! It’s a Superior Grade Spiritual Treasure!" the middle-aged beautiful woman cried out in horror.

As the president of the Tianlong Trade Association, her judgement was always sharp.

She could tell at a glance that this was an extremely terrifying Superior Grade Spiritual Treasure.

If they could acquire such a treasure, it would have enormous significance not just for their Tianlong Trade Association, but even for the entire Prince’s Mansion of Tianlong County.

After Xu Ping’an activated the Heaven Peering Mirror, an expression of exhaustion also appeared on his face.

The exercise of the Heaven Peering Mirror had just drawn away the vast majority of the Thunder Attribute True Yuan from his body.

However, the power of this move was still quite formidable.

"A Superior Grade Spiritual Treasure?" A greedy light instantly shone in the eyes of the Tianlong Trade Association’s Great Elder.

If he could obtain this Superior Grade Spiritual Treasure, he feared no Fifth Rank powerhouse.

With that thought, the eyes of the Tianlong Trade Association’s Great Elder looking at Xu Ping’an also filled with murderous intent.

"Great Elder, hold him off, and I will deploy the Spiritual Stream Sword Array!" the middle-aged beautiful woman immediately called out.

At this moment, she also realized that the Great Elder alone could not kill Xu Ping’an.

So she took action herself; with a thought, three Intermediate Grade Spirit Swords appeared before her.

The three Spirit Swords unleashed extremely strong fluctuations of Sword Intent, and the power they contained was also extremely fierce.

"A Fourth Rank Sword Array?" Xu Ping’an frowned.

He hadn’t expected that this middle-aged beautiful woman would command such a sword array technique.

Moreover, the cultivation of this middle-aged beautiful woman was not low, actually higher than the Great Elder, having reached the Seventh Layer of Fourth Rank.

"I cannot afford a drawn-out battle. I must make it quick. Otherwise, if people from the Prince’s Mansion come, then there will be no escape," Xu Ping’an said to himself.

He knew that now that he’d revealed the Heaven Peering Mirror as his trump card, the Prince’s Mansion would definitely hunt him down relentlessly.

It was very likely that the people from the Prince’s Mansion were already on their way.

Once a city-wide manhunt began, escape would be difficult.

"Boy, hand over the Superior Grade Spiritual Treasure!" the Tianlong Trade Association’s Great Elder shouted fiercely.

He directly charged to attack Xu Ping’an.

From a distance, the middle-aged beautiful woman was still amassing power in the sword array, the might of the array becoming more and more terrifying.

If Xu Ping’an were held up by the Great Elder, he would surely die without a doubt.

"Since it’s come to this, then I’ll send you to your death!"

A glint of hatred flashed through Xu Ping’an’s eyes.

Watching the Sword Radiance from the Great Elder slashing toward him, he didn’t show any intention of dodging and instead charged straight toward the Great Elder to attack.

"Courting death!" Seeing Xu Ping’an didn’t dodge or avoid, the Great Elder sneered contemptuously.

With his sword strike, this young man would surely die.

Passersby from a distance were also alarmed.

Was this young man going to die?

"Clang!"

But just when the Great Elder’s sword was about to strike Xu Ping’an, he discovered that it couldn’t cut through at all.

"Superior Grade Spirit Instrument soft armor?" The Great Elder was instantly shocked.

The youth before him was actually wearing Superior Grade Spirit Instrument soft armor?

"Pu-chi!"

However, Xu Ping’an’s sword had already struck, instantly slicing the Great Elder in half.
