Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 225: Zhang Wentao’s Trump Card

"Fourth Rank, Seventh Layer Realm? Who are you?" Zhang Wentao asked Xu Ping’an with a stern look.

Although Xu Ping’an’s cultivation appeared somewhat low, Zhang Wentao didn’t take him lightly at all.

Just now, that guy’s punch almost shattered his bones.

So, at this moment, facing Xu Ping’an, he didn’t regard him as a Fourth Rank practitioner, but as a Fifth Rank Strongman, and at least at the Fifth Layer Realm.

"Beichen Sword Sect, Xu Ping’an," Xu Ping’an responded indifferently.

Zhang Wentao’s expression tightened, as if trying to recall which power the Beichen Sword Sect was.

But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn’t figure out what force the Beichen Sword Sect belonged to?

Many outsiders were also wondering, as most people had never heard of this power.

As a small Sect under Tianlong County, it was naturally little known.

Xu Ping’an didn’t care about these things, instead, he looked at Zhang Wentao in front of him and said, "A Fifth Rank, Fourth Layer, is barely good enough to practice my Shield Technique on, you’ll do."

Having said that, Xu Ping’an held up his shield and charged out, striking towards Zhang Wentao.

Zhang Wentao’s face turned cold, and a chill soon emerged in his eyes.

Using him to practice combat techniques?

What an arrogant fellow, a Fourth Rank, Seventh Layer facing him, a Fifth Rank, Fourth Layer at the peak, and still daring to make such wild claims?

Immediately, Zhang Wentao slashed with his sword, and a thin sword traced through the void, cutting out a wave of air a hundred meters long.

A terrifying Sword Radiance burst forth instantly.

This sword contained extremely strong Sword Intent and had already reached great accomplishment, not far from the peak.

It had to be said, Zhang Wentao was indeed strong.

The onlookers were also amazed, this sword was mighty, with the power to cleave mountains.

Mo Ya, who stood by, was also deeply moved; this sword was very strong.

If it were him, even a slight touch would have spelled certain death.

Xu Ping’an was sure to be unable to block it.

Just when Mo Ya thought Xu Ping’an was going to lose, Xu Ping’an didn’t dodge or flinch but charged directly toward Zhang Wentao.

Facing this sword, he swung his shield, a strike smashing the Sword Radiance into pieces instantly.

The wave of air spread out like a storm in all directions.

"What?" Mo Ya was shocked, it was blocked just like that?

How was that possible?

The outsiders were equally amazed, Xu Ping’an had actually blocked Zhang Wentao’s sword?

It seemed very effortless, too.

Just what level of strength did this guy have?

Zhang Wentao was also full of surprise; his own sword, even a common Fifth Layer Realm, even Sixth Layer Realm wouldn’t dare to take on head-on, yet this guy in front of him just scattered it with one shield?

"Buzz!"

However, at that moment, Zhang Wentao’s expression changed, and he hurriedly struck eighteen swords with the thin sword in his hand.

Eighteen swords, all completed in an instant.

Eighteen Swords Unified, massive in power, much stronger than the previous sword.

"The Eighteen Constellation Sword? Zhang Wentao even used this?" the people outside exclaimed in surprise.

The Eighteen Constellation Sword was a well-known Earth Rank peak combat technique of the Mysterious Sword Sect.

And Zhang Wentao seemed to use it quite masterfully.

In the eyes of the audience, Zhang Wentao’s sword was already comparable to the attack of a Fifth Layer Realm, Sixth Layer practitioner.

Could Xu Ping’an still withstand it?

At this moment, Xu Ping’an was less than two meters away from Zhang Wentao, facing those eighteen Stack Swords, his face showed no hint of panic, but rather a hint of a smile.

"Now it gets interesting. Stack Shield!"

Xu Ping’an’s True Yuan surged within his body, and instantly thunder shone brightly; his shield struck out.

The next moment, the shield seemed to have numerous shadows.

"Clang!"

The shield struck the eighteen Stack Swords, and once again, the Sword Radiance exploded.

And Xu Ping’an was shaken back two meters by the powerful recoil.

But the next moment, he was again hurtling towards Zhang Wentao.

By now, his Thunder Attribute True Elemental had completed one transformation, and the quality of his True Yuan was not inferior to that of a Fifth Rank, Third Layer.

And the blow Xu Ping’an struck was at least twenty shields stacked together.

So when Xu Ping’an’s shield struck down, those Eighteen Constellation Swords were no match for it in front of his shield.

"What?" the outsiders were dumbfounded.

How did he do it?

"Such a strong Sword Radiance, it was actually shattered?"

"Is this shield some kind of priceless treasure?"

On the high platform, those Seventh Rank and Eighth Rank strongmen also revealed a hint of astonishment.

"Can you see how he did it?" asked a Seventh Rank Sect Leader.

The others shook their heads slightly, unable to ascertain the reason.

After all, not being on the scene, they couldn’t use their Immortal Sense to investigate.

But at this moment, Yan Wu’s eyes lit up.

Indeed it was him.

This is the hammer technique used in smithing.

Others might not see it, but he saw it clear as day.

The shield thrust just now was like a hammer smashing down, only it was a stack of twenty hammers.

"This kid is integrating the smithing hammer technique into his shield, so he’s using Zhang Wentao to train?" Yan Wu suddenly understood Xu Ping’an’s intention, and he couldn’t help but laugh and cry in his heart.

Using Mysterious Sword Sect’s genius to hone a combat technique?

This guy really dares to dream, isn’t he afraid of angering the Mysterious Sword Sect?

However, he was also amazed by Xu Ping’an’s talent. Did that count as creating his own combat technique?

Of course it did!

Moreover, it was a Heaven Rank Battle Skill. Once fifty shields were stacked, he feared even Zhang Wentao would be flattened into a meat paste by a single shield strike.

"What a terrifying kid," Yan Wu exclaimed in his heart.

The Martial King and the General of stable Nation seemed to have noticed something, their faces showing a hint of doubt.

And the Sovereign of Great Qin had a face full of surprise, a self-created Heaven Rank Battle Skill?

Xu Ping’an was unaware of the changes in the outside world. At this moment, he had already charged to Zhang Wentao’s face.

It was still a shield coming down, this time with twenty-five afterimages.

Yes, Xu Ping’an had integrated even more into it.

Zhang Wentao’s face greatly changed, and the True Yuan in his body burst out without stint, as his thin sword frenziedly executed consecutive cuts.

Constantly bombarding Xu Ping’an’s shield, trying to offset the force on Xu Ping’an’s shield.

However, the power on the shield was stronger than Zhang Wentao had imagined, especially the stacked force on the shield, which was far too terrifying.

"Bang!"

Zhang Wentao was instantly slapped away, turning into a straight line as he collided with the mountain wall thousands of meters away.

The mountain wall trembled violently, and huge boulders rolled down.

Zhang Wentao’s figure was buried in the dust.

Mo Ya stared in disbelief.

Isn’t this guy too abnormal?

He even slapped away Zhang Wentao?

Did Zhang Wentao die?

Xu Ping’an did not continue to attack but hovered in the air, carefully savoring that last slap.

He seemed to have gained some new insight in his heart.

The outside world at this moment was dead silent.

A Fourth Order Seventh Layer defeating Zhang Wentao of Fifth Order Fourth Layer with a single strike?

Is this guy leaping seven levels in battle?

And there’s also a large realm gap in between.

Zhang Wentao lost?

The Mysterious Sword Sect elders also had solemn expressions at this moment.

Bang!

Zhang Wentao flew out from the ruins, his figure somewhat disheveled, and blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"You are strong, and your Shield Technique is very... odd!" said Zhang Wentao.

"Show me your true strength. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even qualify to help me refine my shield, there must be more to the Mysterious Sword Sect’s genius than this," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Zhang Wentao’s face turned frosty, then he said, "Fine, let me show you my true power. I was planning to wait until the third match to reveal it, but then I met you."

After speaking, Zhang Wentao’s Sword Qi soared to the sky.

One after another, Sword Talismans appeared in front of him.

"Sword Talisman Technique, that’s interesting. So this is your trump card," Xu Ping’an said with a laugh.

He didn’t expect Zhang Wentao to have cultivated the ancient Sword Talisman Technique.

On the high platform, many strongmen also wore faces of surprise.

The lost Sword Talisman Technique?
