Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 244: Provoking Qin Hanshuang

All the audience on the platform were also stunned.

How could such a level of attack not inflict any harm on Xu Ping’an?

This defensive capability is just too strong.

However, the crowd could see that Huang Yu had still forced Xu Ping’an to use the Shield.

Clearly, this level of attack did exert some pressure on Xu Ping’an.

"I said I don’t care about what you say, but you should never have spoken ill of Qingyi," Xu Ping’an said as he held the Shield and walked step by step towards Huang Yu.

Each step he took put a great pressure on Huang Yu.

"No... no, I won’t accept this, I’ll kill you," Huang Yu roared madly.

His war sabre kept slashing out, with dense and rapid strikes, Huang Yu unleashed over a hundred cuts in an instant.

But Xu Ping’an looked disdainful; his Shield constantly parried the blows.

These attacks, still, did not touch him in the slightest.

Even his pace was not hindered the least bit.

By the time Huang Yu’s attack ended, Xu Ping’an had already walked up to him.

At that moment, the look in Xu Ping’an’s eyes was as sharp as a sword blade, sending chills into Huang Yu’s heart.

"I... I admi..."

At that moment, Huang Yu finally felt a surge of fear.

But before he could finish surrendering, Xu Ping’an’s Shield smashed onto his face like a massive shield.

The Shield swung with terrifying force.

A horrifying wave of energy exploded directly.

Huang Yu’s body flew out like a deflated ball, then smashed into the walls of the Holy Battlefield in the distance.

The wall burst apart, leaving a huge crater.

The roaring sound caused the entire Holy Battlefield to tremble violently.

This...

Everyone gasped in shock.

Huang Yu is probably finished.

Even if he doesn’t die, he is likely to be crippled for life.

It has to be said, Xu Ping’an’s move was really ruthless.

That strike with the equivalent force of sixty Shields stacked together, how terrifying was its power?

For a moment, the way everyone looked at Xu Ping’an turned wary.

Clearly, this seemingly gentle fellow was not a soft target.

"What a ruthless person," the Sect Master of Shangxian Sect said angrily from the high platform.

As Xu Ping’an didn’t break any rules, there was no way for him to intervene.

But everyone could see that Huang Yu had intended to surrender at the end.

Nevertheless, Xu Ping’an still dealt a heavy blow.

After all, Huang Yu was a disciple of their Shangxian Sect; this was a complete disregard for their Sect.

"Sect Master Yu, Huang Yu was bent on killing Xu Ping’an, and all Xu Ping’an did was strike a bit harder, and you accuse him of being ruthless; aren’t you showing too much bias?" General Long Yan scoffed.

"Long Zhengchu, what do you mean by that? Have you forgotten that your son was also defeated by him, and yet you speak in his defense?" The Sect Master of Shangxian Sect looked at General Long Yan with a grim face.

"I’m just stating the plain truth, and I also have to thank him. Xu Ping’an didn’t strike my son too hard. On the contrary, your Sect’s Huang Yu is probably completely crippled; it is your Shangxian Sect that has suffered a loss," General Long Yan said with a smile.

The Sect Master of Shangxian Sect looked furious, but he did not retort.

General Long Yan was right, after all; he hadn’t suffered any substantial loss.

The duel between Xu Ping’an and Long Shan was arranged by Long Zhengchu himself.

And apparently, it had gone quite well.

Whereas Huang Yu was indeed completely ruined.

Moreover, since Huang Yu kept clamoring to kill Xu Ping’an, it was not good for the Sect Master to defend Huang Yu now.

Of course, the most crucial thing was that just now, the Sovereign of Great Qin had actually glanced at him.

Although it seemed unintentional, he could see it was a warning.

So he could only swallow his anger.

"Such a domineering guy, Tenth Sister, you better not be too aggressive when you face him later," Qin Mu said to Qin Hanshuang with a smile.

"Hmph, I am not a waste like Huang Yu. I’ll definitely make him beg for mercy on his knees," Qin Hanshuang said indignantly.

Qin Mu couldn’t help but feel helpless and said no more.

He knew Qin Hanshuang’s personality— the more you tried to persuade her, the more she wouldn’t listen.

Only after she had thoroughly suffered a loss would she stop.

Now, all he could hope was that Xu Ping’an would take it easy on her out of consideration for him.

After all, Xu Ping’an was not someone to show mercy just because Qin Hanshuang was a princess.

"I declare, Xu Ping’an is the winner of this match. Xu Ping’an, you can rest for a while before the next battle," General Long Yan announced.

"No need, let’s move on to the next one," Xu Ping’an shook his head.

A gasp of cold air could be heard from the countless spectators.

Arrogant!

Truly arrogant.

He was completely disregarding the Tenth Princess.

Qin Hanshuang clenched her fist in anger, her face filled with fury.

"Xu Ping’an, you should rest a bit. Otherwise, when I defeat you, you’ll feel that I didn’t win fairly," Qin Hanshuang shouted.

"No need, my energy is hardly spent. We can fight now, and besides, you can’t win against me," Xu Ping’an still said calmly.

Everyone was shocked once again.

Xu Ping’an really was extremely arrogant.

He actually said the Tenth Princess couldn’t win.

Was he getting too full of himself?

"Rest," Qin Hanshuang said gritting her teeth.

"I’ve said there’s no need. Are you fighting or not?" Xu Ping’an suddenly roared.

He was somewhat intolerant of Qin Hanshuang’s arrogance.

She wanted to defeat him at his peak to prove she was stronger than him.

To Xu Ping’an, such arrogance was just conceit.

Qin Hanshuang, startled by Xu Ping’an’s shout, froze in place.

She was momentarily at a loss.

This was the first time in her life she had been yelled at.

Even the Sovereign of Great Qin had never shouted at her.

Everyone held their breath and dared not speak.

Xu Ping’an’s audacity was off the charts.

This was the Tenth Princess, and the Sovereign of Great Qin was right there.

And yet he dared to speak to Qin Hanshuang with such an attitude?

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the Sovereign of Great Qin, only to find that the latter seemed not the least bit angry, instead, there was a barely discernible smile on his face.

"What are you yelling for?" Qin Hanshuang, after a brief moment of being stunned, angrily shouted back.

Xu Ping’an didn’t back down in the slightest and met Qin Hanshuang’s fierce gaze, saying coldly, "I usually don’t like to trouble others, and that’s because I detest hassle, but if someone bothers me, no matter who they are, don’t blame me for being impolite."

"We’ve never crossed paths before, yet you’ve repeatedly provoked me time and again. Qin Hanshuang, do you really think I’m intimidated by your status? Don’t think just because you’re a princess that the whole world revolves around you. You think you’re invincible and despise everyone else, don’t you? Today, I’ll let you understand that aside from that title of princess, you are nothing."

Xu Ping’an’s words echoed throughout the venue.

Everyone felt a tingling on their scalp.

This guy was actually lecturing the Tenth Princess?

"Emperor, should we..." the Martial King couldn’t help but say.

Clearly, he thought Xu Ping’an had gone too far, showing no respect for the imperial family.

Even the stalwart general remained silent.

"No need. Shuang’er indeed needs a lesson. I’ve spoiled her too much, resulting in her disdainful character. This isn’t good in the long run. Xu Ping’an is right; the Great Qin Empire isn’t the sky, and I can’t protect her for the rest of her life," the Sovereign of Great Qin said sternly.

The Martial King and the stalwart general didn’t speak.

But deep down, they still felt Xu Ping’an was far too arrogant.

How could the majesty of the royal family be violated?

But since the Sovereign of Great Qin had spoken, they couldn’t say much else.

As for Qin Hanshuang, who had been admonished by Xu Ping’an, her face turned extremely sullen.

"Very well, I want to see what makes you so confident," Qin Hanshuang was completely enraged.

Her figure flew up onto the battle platform, looking at Xu Ping’an with piercing eyes.
