Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 249: The Powerful Song Kaitian

Song Kaitian battled Long Hen.

To many people, the outcome of this battle seemed to have no suspense.

Long Hen’s strength was decent, but compared to Song Kaitian, he was an entire rank lower.

Such a disparity isn’t so easily bridged.

Long Hen was aware of this fact, and at this moment, he had little hope for advancing to the next round.

"Song Kaitian, I know I am no match for you, but I still want to give my all in a battle with you, to see how big the gap between us really is," Long Hen said as he looked at Song Kaitian.

"I’ll indulge you, how about we decide the winner with a single move?" Song Kaitian suggested, looking back at Long Hen.

"Agreed!" Long Hen pondered for a moment and then nodded in assent.

Since the gap in strength between him and Song Kaitian was significant, he might as well unleash his strongest attack.

Having said that, Long Hen began to channel all his power, and a long spear appeared in his hands.

As his aura continued to concentrate, the atmosphere around him became incredibly terrifying.

A dreadful dragon roar resounded from within his body.

"Tyrant Dragon Spear Technique? It’s actually the Tyrant Dragon Spear Technique, the signature skill of the Martial King. I can’t believe Long Hen has mastered one of its moves."

"Yes, the Tyrant Dragon Spear Technique, overwhelmingly fierce and tyrannical. Once the spear is unleashed, heaven and earth shatter. The Martial King used this technique to slay countless enemies back in the day. Many people would lose their courage just hearing the name of the Tyrant Dragon Spear Technique."

"Indeed, the Martial King’s valor was unmatched. It’s uncertain how much of his true legacy Long Hen has received."

...

The crowd around them buzzed with ongoing discussions.

Everyone was curious to what extent Long Hen could execute the Tyrant Dragon Spear Technique.

"Not bad at all, your grandson is quite strong. He definitely carries some of your legacy," the Sovereign of Great Qin said with a light laugh.

"Old fellow, don’t think I can’t hear the insinuation in your words. My grandson may be a bit lacking, but there’s another, and my Long Family will claim one of the top five spots," the Martial King said with a cold laugh.

"That remains to be seen. Long Zhan facing Du Juan, it’s not certain he could win," the general said.

"Hmph, then you are underestimating Long Zhan too much," the Martial King huffed coldly.

"I’m not underestimating Long Zhan, nor am I trying to provoke you, but I find this Du Juan rather peculiar," said the general seriously.

Hearing this, the Martial King did not retort for a change.

He too found it peculiar, but couldn’t quite put his finger on where the peculiarity lay.

The Sovereign of Great Qin, overhearing their conversation, let a barely detectable smile slip onto his face.

"A direct descendant of the Immortal Emperor from the Heavenly Spirit Realm? That is quite interesting," the Sovereign of Great Qin muttered to himself.

In fact, he had long since recognized Du Juan’s identity.

He simply hadn’t exposed her.

After all, Shangguan Lingyu had genuinely suppressed her cultivation to the Fifth Rank First Layer Realm.

Being at such a Cultivation Realm was already a disadvantage.

What reason did he have to intervene?

However, he was even more curious about Shangguan Lingyu’s motives. With her status, how could she possibly be interested in such a Holy Refinement?

So she must have another purpose.

For now, he was unable to see through Shangguan Lingyu’s true intentions.

Of course, in the end, if Shangguan Lingyu obtained a spot, he would still make her give it up.

"Hum!"

At this moment, Long Hen’s aura had soared to its peak.

On the other side, Song Kaitian still held his blade, standing serenely.

He did not gather strength, nor did he interrupt Long Hen’s gathering of strength.

Since he had agreed to a full-powered battle with Long Hen, he naturally would not go back on his word.

"Unleash your spear," Long Hen declared, having completed his charge-up.

A giant dragon phantom coiled behind him, and the energy emanating from him was extremely terrifying.

Everyone could feel that the power of this spear would reach an incredibly fearsome level.

Hearing Long Hen’s words, Song Kaitian didn’t hold back, his eyes instantly becoming sharp.

He swung his blade down.

The Blade Gang that could shock the heavens swiftly tore through the void, slashing viciously towards Long Hen.

The power of this slash was astonishingly terrifying.

Long Hen’s eyes, too, were condensed to the utmost seriousness.

With a thrust of his spear, a colossal dragon roared.

The Spear Gang burst forth, clashing against the terrifying Blade Gang.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the two formidable forces collided.

Everyone in the stands changed color.

This kind of battle made them all feel an intense sense of oppression.

The dreadful storm scattered everything in its path.

The recently repaired arena was once again shattered into pieces.

"Boom!"

Ultimately, the two forces exploded apart.

Long Hen was sent flying, retreating to the edge before stopping.

Song Kaitian, however, stood unmoved like a mountain, seemingly unaffected by the horrific gusts of wind.

"How strong, this Song Kaitian is actually completely unaffected by this terrifying storm. It seems that this slash didn’t require his full strength at all," someone exclaimed in awe.

All were astonished, Song Kaitian’s strength was probably even greater than they had seen.

Long Hen’s face was also incredibly grave.

"I admit defeat," Long Hen finally gritted his teeth and shouted.

He had lost.

He had given it his all, yet he still hadn’t been able to inflict even a scratch on Song Kaitian.

This was sufficient to show the immense gap in strength between him and Song Kaitian.

Even with his desperate efforts, he could not affect him.

Everyone in the audience gasped in admiration.

Indeed, Song Kaitian lived up to his name.

With just a single move, he had made his opponent submit.

No one knew who could make him use his true full strength.

Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised as well.

This Song Kaitian was very strong; that slash probably hadn’t even used half of his strength.

Truly powerful.

To be honest, he now wanted to battle with him as well.

Sensing Xu Ping’an’s gaze, Song Kaitian turned to Xu Ping’an and said, "I’ll wait for you in the finals."

Upon hearing this, everyone was astir.

All turned their gazes towards Xu Ping’an.

Could it be that in Song Kaitian’s eyes, Xu Ping’an was his worthy opponent?

Although Xu Ping’an was very powerful, hadn’t reached that level, had he?

Did he truly qualify to be Song Kaitian’s opponent?

Xu Ping’an did not pay attention to the gazes of those around him, but instead looked at Song Kaitian responding, "Sure, I too wish to fight with you."

Song Kaitian heard this, nodded in satisfaction, and left.

All eyes followed him.

Of course, many were also watching Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an didn’t care; since he had come this far, there was no chance of staying low profile. Rather than do that, it was better to fight freely.

"It’s my turn to fight," Li Qingyi suddenly said at that moment.

"I believe in you," Xu Ping’an said.

Li Qingyi nodded, without another word, she directly soared onto the battle stage.
