Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 187: Slaying the Fifth Rank

Feng Daozi also looked towards Yu Xianlan, evidently he was aware of Yu Xianlan’s presence.

However, the latter clearly had no intention of intervening.

Xu Ping’an also turned his gaze towards Yu Xianlan.

Yu Xianlan seemed to feel Xu Ping’an’s gaze and smiled, saying, "Don’t look at me, I won’t make a move. This involves the power struggle of the Great Qin royal family. My father has said that if it concerns the royal family, we from the Jade Spirit Realm cannot intervene."

On hearing this, Xu Ping’an’s face was filled with helplessness.

That Feng Daozi, on the other hand, began to smile with a sneer, and his eyes turned extremely cruel as he looked at Xu Ping’an and the others.

To be exact, his gaze was fixed on Nangong Tianyin.

As for a minor character like Xu Ping’an, he didn’t take him seriously.

"Haha, today, none of you can escape, especially you, a fine beauty. Playing with you will certainly bring a unique flavor," Feng Daozi sneered with a chuckle.

His gaze towards Nangong Tianyin was unabashedly evil, completely unhidden.

"Feng Daozi, you’re courting death." Nangong Tianyin was furious and immediately charged at Feng Daozi.

"Fourth Sister, we’ll help you." The three middle-aged members of the Nangong Family immediately took action.

The four of them besieged Feng Daozi.

Even so, they were barely able to hold off the Sixth Rank Expert.

As a result, the seven Fifth Rank Experts were no longer restrained by anyone.

To be precise, there were eight, including the Yan family patriarch.

Fortunately, on the Nangong family’s side, there were also five generals, all of whom were of the Fifth Rank, restraining five of them.

Fu Wen’s father also went all out against the Yan family patriarch, Fu Changxing was not a fool.

If the Nangong family were to be finished, then the Fu family would be the next to be annihilated, as the Yan family would never allow them to survive.

Naturally, Fu Wen also faced off against a Fifth Rank Expert, completely suppressing the opponent.

This left one Fifth Rank Expert remaining.

And this Fifth Rank Expert was none other than the Great Elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect.

As for the Fourth Rank side, the situation was equally matched, after all, the Nangong family had a deep foundation.

As long as they did not lose at the Sixth and Fifth Rank battlefields, the Nangong family wouldn’t be defeated.

At this moment, the Great Elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect looked towards Xu Ping’an again, previously having been prevented from killing Xu Ping’an by Nangong Tianyin.

Now was an excellent opportunity.

Xu Ping’an frowned slightly, indeed this old man had not given up on dealing with him.

A Fifth Rank Second Layer Realm was not easy to handle, and with his current strength, he was not yet capable of dealing with a Fifth Rank Expert.

Of course, that didn’t mean he had no chance at all; if the opponent were careless, he still had the opportunity to catch them off guard and kill them.

However, after the previous battle, it was unlikely that the elder would let his guard down easily.

"Haha, now I want to see who will come to save you," the Great Elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect said with a sneer.

His gaze towards Xu Ping’an was like looking at a dead man.

Xu Ping’an smiled, turned his head towards Zhou Mengyue, who hadn’t made a move, and said, "Meng Yue, quickly have the senior behind you make a move. You and I are husband and wife, and I know you don’t want to see me die here."

As soon as Xu Ping’an spoke, the Great Elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect was taken aback.

Xu Ping’an and the Saintess of the Hehuan Sect are husband and wife?

He hurriedly turned towards the middle-aged beauty beside Zhou Mengyue.

This middle-aged beauty was also a Sixth Rank Expert, though it seemed she had only recently stepped into the Sixth Rank, making her a First Layer Realm.

Of course, even a Sixth Rank First Layer Realm would be more than enough to deal with the Great Elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect.

So he was indeed fearful that the middle-aged beauty might intervene.

The middle-aged beauty was likely to be Zhou Mengyue’s protector.

This operation hadn’t seen the participation of the Hehuan Sect, and Zhou Mengyue had only come at the invitation of Luo Bing.

The Crown Prince wasn’t yet in a position to mobilize the Hehuan Sect for action.

Zhou Mengyue, upon hearing Xu Ping’an’s words, was just about to refute, but her expression suddenly changed.

The Great Elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect was also taken by surprise, feeling a strong force bearing down on him.

"Damn it!"

The elder turned around and discovered Xu Ping’an had already made his move, now holding an extremely fierce dark purple Sharp Sword in his hand.

The aura emanating from the Sharp Sword was incredibly powerful, similar to that of the Sword Nurturing Technique Xu Ping’an had used to slay Song Wen earlier.

The old man realized in an instant that this guy had even nurtured a second sword.

But he was not Song Wen, he was a fifth rank expert.

Xu Ping’an’s attack might be fierce, but that was only if he could actually hit him.

Xu Ping’an’s attack speed was clearly much slower than his, otherwise, he wouldn’t have resorted to such petty tricks to launch a sneak attack.

It’s just a pity that such petty tricks were utterly useless in front of an absolute powerhouse like himself.

"If you really had hit me, I still would be a fifth rank expert, kid. You’ve nurtured it for so long, I’m afraid it’s all been in vain," the old man said with a cold laugh.

Having said that, he prepared to use his movement technique to dodge the strike.

It must be said that the power of this sword was indeed quite impressive.

But he had to be hit by it for that to matter.

If he didn’t get hit, then even the strongest attack would be futile.

In his heart, the old man sneered with disdain, a fourth rank trying to kill him was simply courting death.

"Really? I can’t hit you?"

However, Xu Ping just laughed lightly, and then a bronze mirror suddenly appeared above his head.

A surge of extremely powerful light burst forth from the bronze mirror.

"No!"

The old man suddenly cried out in alarm, his face filled with an immense sense of shock and fear.

The moment the light beam shone on him, he found that his body was unable to move.

Though it was just for an instant, that instant was fatal.

Because at this moment, Xu Ping’an’s sword was already coming down, and he had missed the opportunity to dodge.

It was already too late to try to dodge now.

"Puchi!"

Xu Ping’an’s sword came down, carrying a tremendously terrifying metal attribute sword radiance, and directly cleaved the old man’s body in two.

Not only that, the sword mark created by Xu Ping’an’s strike was extremely terrifying, extending nearly a hundred meters in distance.

The onlookers revealed looks of surprise upon witnessing this scene.

"Heaven Peering Mirror? No, that’s not right, this is a replica, it should be of the superior grade spiritual treasure level. Is this artifact something he refined himself or something he came upon by chance? The Heaven Peering Mirror is the treasure of that person, said to be shattered," Yu Xianlan said to herself.

As she looked at Xu Ping’an, her eyes became incredibly complex.

For some reason, she found that she understood this man even less now.

Could it be that this guy was the disciple of that person?

This thought made Yu Xianlan all the more convinced that it might be the case.

Because everything that Xu Ping’an demonstrated seemed to bear the shadow of that person.

"Is he the obstacle you mentioned before? Do you want me to help you kill him?" the middle-aged beautiful woman next to Zhou Mengyue asked as she looked towards Xu Ping’an.

A fourth rank killing a fifth rank was beyond her expectations.

If Xu Ping’an really had a feud with Zhou Mengyue, then he truly could not be left alive.

At this moment, Zhou Mengyue’s expression was also extremely complex.

Xu Ping’an had actually slain a fifth rank expert?

What kind of talent was that?

If she hadn’t treated him the way she did back then, would she still be his beloved now?

As she thought about this, Zhou Mengyue suddenly felt a pang in her heart, even beginning to feel some regret.

Zhou Mengyue just wanted to marry an unparalleled talent in the world, right?

But such a genius, she had once possessed and yet discarded without mercy.

"No need, let’s leave," Zhou Mengyue thought it over and in the end chose not to have the middle-aged beautiful woman kill Xu Ping’an.

Because she wanted to see how far Xu Ping’an could ultimately go.

The middle-aged beautiful woman did not object and eventually left the estate with Zhou Mengyue.

Xu Ping’an felt a sigh of relief when he saw Zhou Mengyue and the middle-aged beautiful woman leaving.

He definitely had no ability to kill another sixth rank expert now.

Then, Xu Ping’an shifted his gaze to Nangong Tianyin and the others.

It seemed that aunt and her group were starting to show signs of defeat.
