Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 157: The Six-Eyed Rakshasa

"Damn it, the Six-eyed Rakshasa actually appears at this time," Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

He looked back at Shangguan Lingyu behind him.

The latter also looked back at Xu Ping’an, her eyes still filled with extreme anger.

If it wasn’t for this guy in front of her, she wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

"If you don’t want to die, do as I say. Your soul realm should not be low, at least you have reached the Perception Realm, right?" Xu Ping’an turned to Shangguan Lingyu and said.

"What do you want to do?" Shangguan Lingyu didn’t answer but instead asked back.

"What else can we do, fight the Six-eyed Rakshasa together. With our combined strength, if we fight on our own, we would both face certain death. Only by joining forces do we stand a slim chance of winning," Xu Ping’an said.

"Then give me the antidote first," Shangguan Lingyu did not refuse, she knew that what Xu Ping’an said was true.

The Six-eyed Rakshasa, a seventh-rank fierce creature.

Even if just a part of the Six-eyed Rakshasa’s remnant soul was released, it was not something ordinary people could contend with.

"Sorry, I don’t have any elixir to cure the poison. This poison pill is from Chen Wentian’s Heavenly Dragon Commerce, it’s not refined by me," Xu Ping’an replied.

"You..." Shangguan Lingyu was immediately furious upon hearing this.

Now she wished she could kill this guy in front of her with a sword.

"You’ve always wanted to break through your cultivation technique, right? Now is a great opportunity. Only by facing the fear of death can you make the breakthrough to the second layer of the Wind Control Nine Heavens," Xu Ping’an said.

"Easy for you to say, I can’t use my True Yuan right now, how am I supposed to break through!" Shangguan Lingyu yelled again in anger.

At this moment, she really doubted the identity of the man before her.

It seemed that he was very knowledgeable about the Wind Control Nine Heavens. Could it be that he was really that person?

But that person is clearly already dead, how could a dead person be reborn?

Xu Ping’an chuckled inwardly.

He did not care about Shangguan Lingyu’s suspicions. Even if Shangguan Lingyu really shared these doubts with Ling Qingyao, he wouldn’t care.

If Ling Qingyao truly came to kill him, he would simply hide.

If he truly wanted to hide, even Ling Qingyao would not be able to find him.

"It’s here!"

Just at this moment, Xu Ping’an suddenly had a grim expression, as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

A thick scent of blood rushed towards him.

A man dressed in Lei Family’s attire was seen approaching rapidly from afar.

The man had a ferocious countenance, with six eyes and a pair of flesh wings on his back, his palms had already transformed into sharp claws.

Right now, those claws, carrying a thick scent of blood, were hurtling towards Xu Ping’an with great speed.

Xu Ping’an was well prepared, directly summoning the Xuanwu Shield.

"Clang!"

The claws struck the shield, instantly tearing five long scrapes into it.

And Xu Ping’an was sent flying by this terrifying force.

"Such formidable strength!"

Xu Ping’an retreated by thirty feet before he could dispel this terrifying force.

The stone slabs of the ground were marked with long traces from the tips of his toes.

Shangguan Lingyu’s expression also changed dramatically, her eyes intensely solemn.

The Six-eyed Rakshasa before them was not its real body, but a part of its soul that had possessed a Lei Family disciple.

But just this avatar alone had a strength comparable to a sixth-rank peak.

"Roar!" The Six-eyed Rakshasa let out a deafening roar.

Then, looking at Xu Ping’an with a playful sneer, it said, "A fourth-rank actually withstood my full-force attack? Quite an amusing prey."

Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised; the Six-eyed Rakshasa before him could actually speak.

It seemed like it had completely taken control of this body, and the body’s original soul must have been completely devoured.

This meant that the Six-eyed Rakshasa in front of him had very strong combat power.

"Give me the healing pills, quick!" Shangguan Lingyu rapidly retreated next to Xu Ping’an and yelled at him.

She had given her storage ring to Xu Ping’an, and she had absolutely no elixir on her own. If she faced an attack from the Six-eyed Rakshasa now, she would be left with only one path—death.

Xu Ping’an did not hesitate and immediately threw three fifth-rank healing pills to her.

She did not hesitate either, swallowing them immediately and then silently circulating her cultivation technique to suppress the poison and injuries inside her body.

Right now, she had to fight with her back against the wall.

"How interesting, a Sixth Rank Cultivator and a supreme beauty at that; seems quite strong, too. Shame about the severe injury, that makes her a delightful treat,"

the six-eyed Greedy Rakshasa demon eyed Shangguan Lingyu, a hint of greed flashing in its gaze.

Seeing the greed in the demon’s eyes, Shangguan Lingyu felt a surge of disgust.

"Little beauty, time to die!" the Greedy Rakshasa declared greedily.

The next moment, it dashed towards Shangguan Lingyu with incredible speed.

Shangguan Lingyu’s eyes turned icy as she immediately brandished her superior-grade Spirit Sword to fend off her opponent.

It has to be said, Shangguan Lingyu’s strength was indeed formidable.

Even injured and poisoned, she still managed to withstand the Greedy Rakshasa’s attacks.

She was slightly outmatched, but not to the point of being completely overrun.

Xu Ping’an, watching from the sidelines, didn’t rush to help; instead, he observed every single movement of the six-eyed Greedy Rakshasa closely.

At this moment, his soul’s Perception reached its peak, not missing a single detail.

"What are you doing? At this rate, we’re both going to die." Shangguan Lingyu was struggling to hold on and began to cough up blood repeatedly.

However, she noticed that Xu Ping’an was just looking on, seemingly without any intention of lifting a finger.

This further incensed her.

If it hadn’t been for the difficult fight against the six-eyed Greedy Rakshasa, she would have already lunged at Xu Ping’an, intending to tear him to pieces.

In response to Shangguan Lingyu’s words, Xu Ping’an remained indifferent.

He showed no sign of taking action.

This made Shangguan Lingyu grind her teeth in frustration.

"If you don’t help now, I really won’t be able to hold on much longer." Shangguan Lingyu roared in anger.

"Just hold on a little longer, ten breaths, give me ten breaths," Xu Ping’an finally responded.

Shangguan Lingyu was livid with rage, wishing she could tear Xu Ping’an to shreds.

But in her current situation, she had no choice but to trust Xu Ping’an.

Time ticked away.

"Haha, you’re all going to die!" the Greedy Rakshasa cackled menacingly.

Its claws continued to assault Shangguan Lingyu, forcing her to retreat step by step, and she was wounded several times.

Blood flowed crimson, her body covered with wounds.

Xu Ping’an paid no heed, carefully observing the demon’s assault without missing any detail.

"If you don’t come now, I really can’t hold on any longer." Shangguan Lingyu screamed hoarsely.

At this moment, she was utterly at her limit, and in the next instant, she would be torn apart by the Greedy Rakshasa.

"Die!" the Greedy Rakshasa laughed loudly.

Shangguan Lingyu felt both rage and unwillingness but had no means to change the situation.

"I’ve found it!"

Finally, at that moment, a smirk formed on Xu Ping’an’s lips.

The next second, he rushed towards the six-eyed Greedy Rakshasa at high speed.

"Seeking death!"

The Greedy Rakshasa turned its murderous intent towards the approaching Xu Ping’an, ready to target him instead.

Originally, the demon hadn’t considered this Fourth Rank as a threat at all; now that Xu Ping’an sought death, it was ready to oblige.

"You’re the one who’ll die!"

Xu Ping’an sneered coldly.

As he drew near to the six-eyed Greedy Rakshasa, he suddenly activated the Heaven Peering Mirror.

In an instant, the demon’s body was immobilized.

At that moment, Xu Ping’an took his move, sticking the fragment of a superior-grade talisman onto the Crimson Edge Sword.

He thrust the sword forward and pierced one of the six-eyed Greedy Rakshasa’s eyes in a flash.

"Pugh!"

The Sharp Sword instantly penetrated the Greedy Rakshasa’s eye.

"No…."

The six-eyed Greedy Rakshasa let out an agonized roar as its figure staggered back, its facial features twisted in pain.
