Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 186: Sixth Rank Expert

Xu Ping’an looked at Nangong Tianyin, who suddenly appeared before him, and his heart was filled with surprise.

The speed that Nangong Tianyin just displayed was simply too fast.

One cannot deny that Nangong Tianyin’s strength is truly formidable, worthy of a Fifth Rank Peak expert.

The cultivation of the Imperial Spirit Sect’s Great Elder at the Fifth Rank Second Layer seemed so fragile in front of her.

"Ping’an, are you alright?" Nangong Tianyin asked urgently.

"I’m fine, Auntie," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Hearing Xu Ping’an call her auntie, Nangong Tianyin immediately beamed with joy, obviously very happy.

"That’s good. Not bad, you haven’t dishonored your mother," Nangong Tianyin praised.

Xu Ping’an smiled, feeling a touch of warmth in his heart.

"Nangong Tianyin, he killed an elder of our Imperial Spirit Sect. Do you really intend to shelter him?" the Great Elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect glared at Nangong Tianyin.

He had never expected Nangong Tianyin to intervene.

"Shelter? It was clearly your Imperial Spirit Sect who was aggressive to begin with. Ping’an was merely protecting himself," Nangong Tianyin said with a light laugh.

At those words, the Great Elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect immediately gritted his teeth in anger.

It was clearly Xu Ping’an who made the first move, how could it be turned into self-defense?

Xu Ping’an also laughed helplessly, never expecting his aunt to speak so imposingly.

"Nangong Tianyin, this is a matter for the Imperial Spirit Sect, I advise you not to meddle in others’ business," the Great Elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect narrowed his eyes.

"A matter for the Imperial Spirit Sect? This place is the Prince’s Mansion, and moreover, Ping’an is also part of our Nangong Family. Are you saying I shouldn’t get involved?" Nangong Tianyin countered.

Everyone was astonished to discover that Xu Ping’an was a member of the Nangong Family.

They then remembered that the Nangong Family had a daughter who had married out.

Could it be that Xu Ping’an was the son of that daughter?

At this thought, the surrounding crowd was filled with surprise, not expecting Xu Ping’an to have such a connection with the Nangong Family.

The face of the Great Elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect had turned iron blue at this moment.

If Nangong Tianyin was determined to protect Xu Ping’an, he really had no recourse.

"What are you still waiting for, just do it!" Just then, the Great Elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect shouted at those outside the hall.

Xu Ping’an’s eyes instantly became fierce as he witnessed this scene.

Finally couldn’t hold back, huh?

Indeed, following the Great Elder’s voice, dozens of figures swept into the hall from outside.

The strength of these people was all above Fourth Rank, with nearly seven of them being Fifth Rank experts.

There were even two Sixth Rank experts among them.

"It’s them," Nangong Tianyin said, her expression turning grave as she looked at the two elders walking in.

Xu Ping’an also turned his gaze towards the two Sixth Rank experts.

Both elders were very strong.

One was dressed in a Daoist robe, with white hair and beard, giving off the impression of a celestial master.

This person’s strength had reached the Seventh Layer Realm of Sixth Rank.

The other elder had a towering figure, incredibly tall, at least two meters in height.

And his strength was clearly stronger, having reached the Ninth Layer Realm of Sixth Rank.

"Feng Daozi, Duan Haishan, so it’s you two. I didn’t expect the Crown Prince to send you. He truly holds me in high regard," Nangong Bo said with a smile as he stood up, his eyes sharpening as he looked at the two elders.

"What, he’s the murderous madman Feng Daozi?" someone in the crowd exclaimed in shock.

"That’s right, it’s him. They say he kills without blinking an eye, specializing in slaying women. Countless young women have fallen victims to him; he is an unscrupulous devil cultivator." Someone explained.

Xu Ping’an frowned upon hearing this.

He hadn’t expected this Daoist to have such a reputation.

"You’ve only heard of Feng Daozi’s infamous name, but have you not heard of the butcher Duan Haishan?" Yet, someone else spoke up.

"Are you referring to the butcher who slaughtered two thousand people from the Yuanyang Sect?" Someone immediately exclaimed in horror.

"Yes, that’s him. Ten years ago, for personal gain, he slaughtered two thousand from the Yuanyang Sect. However, after that battle, he disappeared without a trace; I didn’t expect him to still be alive," the person said with a nod, fear evident in their eyes.

"The Nangong Family is probably in trouble today. These people clearly came prepared; now they must be after taking control of the Prince’s Mansion." Someone added.

The others nodded in agreement.

Clearly, they all understood that the Nangong Family was in big trouble.

"Nangong Bo? Since you know us, why don’t you willingly submit to the Crown Prince? Otherwise, don’t blame us for being unkind," Duan Haishan said coldly.

His voice was incredibly loud, booming like thunder and deafening to the ear.

"Such strong True Yuan fluctuations, his voice even contains soundwave attacks," Xu Ping’an thought in astonishment.

The strength of Duan Haishan before him was formidable and likely difficult to deal with.

Nangong Bo was only at the Eighth Layer Realm of the Sixth Rank; facing the two of them, he probably wouldn’t be able to hold out.

"Nangong Bo, you can also choose not to submit. Then we can just kill everyone in your household. However, your daughter is quite something; I could have a good time with her," Feng Daozi said with a laugh.

His voice was cold and carried a sinister tone.

"To hell with you!" Nangong Tianyin shouted furiously, glaring daggers at Feng Daozi.

The latter, however, wore a sinister grin, paying no heed to Nangong Tianyin.

A strong intent to kill surged in Xu Ping’an’s eyes.

Feng Daozi dared to covet his aunt; no matter what, he had to kill him.

Feng Daozi paid no attention to Xu Ping’an. In his eyes, Xu Ping’an was no more than an ant.

Thus, even though he felt Xu Ping’an’s rage, he didn’t take it seriously.

Who would care about the anger of an ant?

Nangong Bo’s face had completely darkened at this moment.

Facing these two, he had no chance of victory whatsoever.

As for those at the Fifth and Fourth Rank, they were easier to deal with, after all, this was the Prince’s Mansion.

"Have you made up your mind? I will give you three breaths’ time; after three breaths, I will begin a massacre," Duan Haishan stated.

"No need to wait for three breaths. I can tell you now that I could never submit to that cruel and ruthless Crown Prince," Nangong Bo declared defiantly.

"If that is the case, then I have no choice but to send you on your way," Duan Haishan said, wasting no time in idle chatter, and charged directly at Nangong Bo.

Nangong Bo also struck out in an instant, clashing fiercely with Duan Haishan.

Both being Sixth Rank Peak experts, the power they unleashed in their full-force confrontation was terrifying.

The mere dispersal of their True Yuan forced Xu Ping’an and others to continuously retreat.

The two took their fight from inside the hall to the outdoors.

The sky dimmed, and the surrounding buildings were shattered.

However, no victor emerged between the two for a short while.

This meant Nangong Bo was tied up.

With him occupied, the Prince’s Mansion now lacked a Sixth Rank expert.

There was still Feng Daozi on the other side, a formidable enemy at the Seventh Layer Realm of the Sixth Rank. Other than Yu Xianlan within the hall, it seemed unlikely anyone could contain him.
