Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 242: What’s Wrong with Hitting Your Son?

The atmosphere at the arena became extremely tense.

Everyone looked forward to the scene with anticipation, they were also curious just how strong Xu Ping’an’s abilities were and whether he could truly defeat Long Shan.

Although Xu Ping’an had shown remarkable performance in the first and second matches,

they were not real confrontations after all, so many were curious about the true extent of Xu Ping’an’s abilities.

Long Shan was very strong, and although he was only at the Fifth Rank Second Layer Realm, his strength was no weaker than Zhang Wentao’s.

Many people watched this scene unfold, including the likes of Long Zhan.

They were also curious as to whether Xu Ping’an had the qualifications to be their opponent.

"Do you think this Xu Ping’an can defeat Long Shan?" Yu Chenglin asked with a smile.

"I think Xu Ping’an has a pretty good chance of winning, he made it to the thirty-sixth floor, while Long Shan only reached the thirty-first floor," Tang Qingyu said.

"I actually think it won’t be easy for Xu Ping’an to win, I know this kid Long Shan; he has a ruthless streak in him. The stronger his opponent, the stronger he gets. This duel will be very exciting," Long Zhan said with a smile.

He and Long Shan were relatives, although the connection was quite distant now, Long Shan could still be considered his brother.

So he paid some attention to Long Shan.

"Hmm, I’ve also interacted with Long Shan, he has been toughened up since childhood in the military, with extreme resilience and a very ruthless fighting style, he is a seedling with great potential," Qin Yue also nodded in agreement.

For a time, everyone had their own opinions, obviously feeling that Xu Ping’an had better odds but wouldn’t win easily.

Li Daoming and others felt the same way.

...

In the arena, Xu Ping’an and Long Shan stood facing each other.

The latter’s eyes were sharp, filled with unyielding pride.

Xu Ping’an chuckled lightly; indeed, Long Shan was just as arrogant as when they first met.

This arrogance stemmed from an inherent self-confidence, born from a long history of fighting and killing.

Xu Ping’an didn’t find anything improper about this.

"Draw your sword! I remember when you passed the second test, you used swordsmanship, you seem more proficient with a sword," Long Shan said haughtily.

"No need, to deal with you, it’s not necessary," Xu Ping’an said with a faint smile.

At this remark, the arena erupted with gasps.

Long Shan’s eyes immediately blazed with fury.

Was Xu Ping’an looking down on him?

Not even drawing his sword, he was completely disregarding him.

On the high platform, the Seventh Rank and Eighth Rank Strongmen were also chatting idly.

"General Long Yan, it seems the opponent is underestimating your son, not even using his sword? Do you want him as a whetstone for your son, aren’t you afraid he will break your son’s steel blade?" the sect leader of Shangxian Sect said with a smile.

"If he cannot endure even this bit of humiliation, then let it break," General Long Yan said indifferently.

"Oh, so you think your son is bound to lose?" the sect leader of Shangxian Sect asked, surprised.

General Long Yan, however, did not respond, silently watching the scene below.

The sect leader of Shangxian Sect looked surprised. Did Long Yan have such confidence in Xu Ping’an? He even specially arranged for his son to fight against the opponent, wanting to use the opponent’s hand to temper his son?

At this thought, the sect leader of Shangxian Sect couldn’t help but glance at the distant Sovereign of Great Qin.

Was this at the behest of that esteemed individual?

If so, that was frightening.

It indicated that the Sovereign of Great Qin held Xu Ping’an in high regard.

What was so special about Xu Ping’an that he caught the attention of the Sovereign of Great Qin?

...

"You are very arrogant, so let me see if you truly have the capital to be arrogant," Long Shan said, enraged.

With one step, he shot forward, appearing instantly in front of Xu Ping’an, and threw a punch with formidable power.

The air around them roared violently.

This was a Fist Technique from the Long Yan Army, the Dragon Slaying Fist, known for its ferocity.

With one punch, the power was overwhelmingly fierce.

Xu Ping’an also felt an extremely terrifying Fist Force.

Yet his face remained as calm as ever.

He, too, threw a punch, which appeared ordinary.

But the next moment, Long Shan was sent flying backward.

He retreated more than ten meters before steadying himself, with a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

And his arm was violently numb, almost unable to move.

"This..."

Everyone gasped in shock.

Long Shan was actually sent flying by a punch?

And that was even after he used the Dragon Slaying Fist?

Even Long Yan was somewhat surprised; Long Shan’s Dragon Slaying Fist had clearly reached the Great Achievement Realm, easily handling any average Fifth Rank practitioner of the Fifth Layer Realm.

Yet he was still sent flying by Xu Ping’an’s punch?

One could only imagine how overbearing Xu Ping’an’s punch was?

At this moment, Long Shan was also immensely shocked.

The instant their fists met, he felt as if his own fist had been struck by more than fifty punches all at once.

If it weren’t for his long-term conditioning of his arms, and his regular soaking in Spiritual Medicine baths, which gave him an extremely tough physical body.

Perhaps that one punch would have been enough to shatter his bones.

For a while, he looked at Xu Ping’an with an extremely wary gaze.

At this moment, he truly realized Xu Ping’an’s strength.

Perhaps the Xu Ping’an before him was not a bit weaker than Long Zhan and the others.

Of course, while he was shocked, he was also a bit excited.

To battle with such a powerful opponent was an extremely exhilarating matter for him.

"Again!"

Long Shan let out a furious shout, and then he charged at Xu Ping’an once more.

This time he didn’t attack head-on but continuously targeted Xu Ping’an’s vital points.

His speed was extremely fast, and his moves were ruthless.

If hit by him, most likely it would mean death.

And his fighting style was extremely ruthless, even willing to trade injury for injury.

For a while, even Xu Ping’an felt some pressure.

Of course, such a fighting style depended on being nearly equal in strength or the gap being not too large.

After a struggle, Xu Ping’an also became somewhat annoyed and unleashed his full power.

Long Shan was forced to retreat step by step under his relentless assault.

Even after the latter brought out a spear, he was still suppressed by Xu Ping’an.

His ribs were broken in ten places, both arms were fractured, and even a leg bone was broken.

The sight made many in the audience’s scalp tingle.

Xu Ping’an was indeed ruthless, dealing such a heavy hand to Long Shan.

The guy’s father is still here, right?

You’re beating his son so brutally, aren’t you afraid of reprisal?

At this moment, Long Zhengchu also had a dark expression on his face, seeing his son being beaten so badly made his complexion look bad.

This indicated that the other party didn’t take him seriously at all.

However, he didn’t say anything; it was he who had arranged for the battle between Xu Ping’an and Long Shan.

So, if there was anyone to blame, it could only be himself.

"Bang!"

Xu Ping’an punched and sent Long Shan flying.

The latter was completely knocked out.

The arena fell into silence.

Xu Ping’an had actually beaten Long Shan into a pulp.

He indeed had a damn heavy hand.

Even the geniuses twitched at the corners of their mouths, each looking at Long Shan with speechlessness on their faces.

If it were them, even if they could defeat Long Shan, they wouldn’t be so excessively brutal.

Xu Ping’an, however, looked toward General Long Yan as if to say, aren’t you going to declare it?

General Long Yan’s mouth twitched as well, somewhat speechless.

At this moment, he even doubted whether asking Long Shan to battle Xu Ping’an was the right decision or not.

His son wouldn’t really become introverted from the beating, would he?

If so, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

"This round, Xu Ping’an wins," declared General Long Yan with a cold face, his eyes intensely fixed on Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an smiled with satisfaction, not looking at General Long Yan, brushed off the dust from his body, and then strode off the platform unperturbed.

Everyone was speechless, so it turns out Long Shan only managed to dirty Xu Ping’an’s clothes?
