Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 235 His Disciple

Time slipped away.

Two days quickly passed.

At this moment, most people had already left the Hundred Demon Tower.

"Buzz!"

A wave of spatial fluctuation transmitted.

A young man in white appeared on the Holy Battlefield.

"It’s Song Kaitian. He’s come out. My God, he actually made it to the thirty-ninth floor and moreover, killed eight hundred demon beasts on the thirty-ninth floor."

"Yeah, such terrifying killing methods, he’s practically a killing god."

"Thirty-ninth floor, this is a new record, right?"

...

Continuous discussions filled the field as everyone looked toward the figure in white, their eyes filled with awe and admiration.

The white-clad figure had a proud look in his eyes and an aura that seemed to dominate the world.

He raised his head to look at the rankings scroll in the sky, his gaze indifferent.

The name at the very top was his.

Points: 466

This round, he scored 398 points, plus the previous round’s 68 points.

Adding up to 466, directly leading as number one.

The second place was unexpectedly Long Zhan, with 451 points.

Long Zhan reached the thirty-eighth floor and killed seven hundred demon beasts on the eighth floor.

The third place was Yu Chenglin, with 425 points.

The fourth place went to the Sixth Prince, Qin Yue, with 421 points.

Yu Chenglin and Qin Yue both reached the thirty-sixth floor.

So the gap in their strength wasn’t large.

However, when Song Kaitian saw the fifth name, his brows furrowed.

Du Juan?

From the Five Elements Sect?

The other party actually made it to the thirty-seventh floor.

And right now, her points were still climbing, which meant her Holy Refinement was not yet over.

A no-name woman from the Five Elements Sect actually made it to the thirty-seventh floor?

Higher than Yu Chenglin and Qin Yue?

What sort of strength was this?

"Surprised? I was stunned myself when I came out." Long Zhan said with a smile as he walked over.

Song Kaitian looked at the image of Du Juan on the scroll.

In the image above, Du Juan’s sword light flickered, her killing methods were fierce, and with each slash of her sword, those Fifth Rank Seventh Layer Realm demon beasts were being consecutively slain, completely unable to approach her.

Her speed was very fast, seemingly with ease.

"She’s very strong. Her strength mustn’t be low, she might even surpass you," said Song Kaitian.

"Hmm, I’ve noticed it too. With the cultivation of the Fifth Rank First Layer Realm, yet her swordsmanship is extremely profound, I’m afraid that even if I were to face her in combat, I might not necessarily win," Long Zhan said thoughtfully.

"That’s what makes it interesting. I actually hope that the Holy Refinement produces a few demonic-level talents that can exert pressure on me, giving me more motivation to break through," Song Kaitian said with a faint smile.

Long Zhan laughed as well.

Exactly.

They too were demonic-level geniuses.

Were they afraid of facing formidable opponents?

Of course not. What they feared was the absence of opponents, the lack of pressure.

And Du Juan’s emergence had given them that pressure, which made their blood boil with excitement.

Meanwhile, Yu Chenglin and the Sixth Prince were also looking at the scroll, with their gaze naturally focusing on Du Juan.

"She’s very strong. It’s a pity she’s not that good-looking, otherwise I’d definitely pursue her," Yu Chenglin laughed.

"You, she might not be interested in you. But I am a bit curious about the woman’s identity. You might not know, but the Five Elements Sect is a power under my elder brother’s command," Qin Yue said gravely.

"Is she someone your elder brother has secretly cultivated?" Yu Chenglin asked, surprised.

"It shouldn’t be. He can’t bring up such a demonic talent. Forget it, let’s not think about it anymore," Qin Yue shook his head.

He didn’t understand, and he didn’t want to dwell on it.

"On the other hand, I think another is quite impressive, making it to the thirty-fourth floor, only one floor less than Tang Qingyu," Yu Chenglin said, looking in the direction of Li Qingyi and laughed.

At this moment, Li Qingyi had also exhausted her strength on the thirty-fourth floor after killing over six hundred demon beasts, finally meeting with failure.

At the same time, Tang Qingyu was also eliminated on the thirty-fifth floor.

"My Tenth Princess isn’t bad-looking either, and she was close to breaking through to the thirty-sixth floor. How about I introduce her to you?" Qin Yue chuckled.

Yu Chenglin glanced at the woman in the silver battle robe from afar.

The latter seemed to sense the gaze and immediately glared back fiercely.

Yu Chenglin was startled and awkwardly said, "Forget it, the Tenth Princess is domineering to an incomparable degree, and I can’t afford to provoke her."

Qin Yue couldn’t help but smile at his words.

His younger sister, indeed, was overwhelmingly tyrannical and only admired the strong.

Probably no man could ever make her submit.

Even Song Kaitian wouldn’t do.

Next, a number of talents began to emerge from the Beast Tower.

Li Daoming, Yu Chengshan, Li Fuchen, and others had all made it past the thirtieth layer.

But all stopped at the thirty-third layer.

Soon, nearly all of the five hundred had exited the Beast Tower, leaving only one person behind.

This person was none other than Xu Ping’an.

At the moment, Xu Ping’an was on the fifteenth layer, being chased all over by a thousand Thunder-Devouring Golden Striped Tigers.

Many people witnessing this scene were rendered speechless.

They were all too familiar with it, having seen it over a dozen times.

This guy would get chased for more than an Hour on each layer, then suddenly burst forth near the end to kill all the demon beasts.

Luo Ling too was at a loss for words, as she had already fallen out of the top hundred.

So, she didn’t have much to look forward to anymore.

Meanwhile, Huang Yu had an ashen face.

Right now, he ranked fiftieth, and if Xu Ping’an made it past the sixteenth layer, he would fall out of the top fifty.

Could Xu Ping’an make it through?

The chances were high.

Because up to now, it seemed like this guy hadn’t even used his real strength.

Thinking back to when he had lectured Xu Ping’an, he now felt like he had just been played with.

If Xu Ping’an surpasses him in rank, the previous lessons would become a laughingstock.

At the same time, those geniuses were also discussing among themselves.

"This Xu Ping’an is quite interesting, actually absorbing the Primordial Qi released by these injured demon beasts," said Yu Chenglin with a smile.

"It’s just a little cleverness. We noticed it too but simply disdained to absorb it," Qin Yue said, shaking his head.

"Indeed, with his cultivation, reaching the Fifth Rank First Layer Realm is his limit. Such cultivation poses no threat to us," Long Zhan said indifferently.

In his eyes, the only opponents worth considering were a few others.

Song Kaitian, Yu Chenglin, Qin Yue, plus Du Juan.

This Xu Ping’an was still far behind.

"I do find him somewhat familiar, as if I’ve seen him somewhere before," Tang Qingyu said, frowning as she looked at Xu Ping’an’s figure.

She always felt Xu Ping’an looked familiar.

"You have indeed seen him before; he was also at that banquet," Qin Yue said.

"Not that time, I mean I seem to have seen him before that, but I can’t remember where," said Tang Qingyu, still frowning.

"Perhaps it’s your imagination. Even if you’ve seen him, what does it prove? Qingyu, could it be that you fancy someone like him?" Yu Chenglin joked.

"Brother Yu is joking. I just find it strange," said Tang Qingyu, deciding not to dwell on it any longer.

Not far from them, Du Juan stood proudly, her gaze fixed intently on Xu Ping’an.

"Do you really have something to do with that man? Would the heir of that person care for such a trace of Primordial Qi?" Shangguan Lingyu mused to herself.

Yes, the reason she wanted to compete with Xu Ping’an was not just because of the setback she suffered at his hands earlier.

Another reason was her suspicion that Xu Ping’an might be the successor of that man, or at least connected to him.

As for her master’s talk of resurrection from death, she saw it as impossible.

How can one return to life after death has claimed them?

Every time her master mentioned that individual, she would be filled with complex emotions.

Those complex feelings included admiration, reverence, and even a trace of determination.

Her master, in her eyes, was the strongest in the world. So, what kind of person would command such admiration from her?

Therefore, when she guessed that Xu Ping’an might be the heir of that man, she was filled with a desire to compare.

...

Unaware of these thoughts, Xu Ping’an was presently being chased by these demon beasts, running while frantically absorbing the Primordial Qi.

At this point, his ninth Body Refining was almost complete.

Once the Body Refining was completed, he would be able to break through to the Fifth Rank.

At that time, his cultivation would surely leap qualitatively.

"The time is almost up; it’s time to head to the sixteenth layer," Xu Ping’an chuckled to himself.

Then he began the slaughter anew.

Soon, he arrived at the sixteenth layer.
