Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 262 Shangguan Lingyu

"Sword Silk Realm? How can that be possible? How old is he?" the Martial King exclaimed in excitement.

Some of the Seventh Rank Experts on the high platform were also showing faces of shock.

Among these older generation, most were not at the Sword Silk Realm.

Even some had not reached the Sword Silk Realm, and now they saw Xu Ping’an displaying sword silk.

And even if they could reach it, it had taken them decades or even a hundred years to reach that realm.

Now, a youngster under twenty years old like Xu Ping’an had actually reached the Sword Silk Realm.

How could they not be shocked?

Long Zhan, Yu Chenglin and others also had faces full of shock beyond compare.

Song Kaitian had also come around by this time.

He had been knocked unconscious by the power on the sword silk just now.

His expression now was also one of complexity.

If Xu Ping’an had wanted to kill him just now, he would probably be a corpse by now.

The terror of the Sword Silk Realm was something that even he could not withstand.

"I lost, your strength is truly strong. Even if I had used that power, with my current level of control, I am not your match," Song Kaitian said earnestly.

He was totally convinced in his defeat.

Xu Ping’an’s strength was indeed very powerful, powerfully terrifying to an extreme degree.

"However, I will still strive to surpass you. I hope that when the time comes, you will not be stingy about battling me," Song Kaitian said with a smile.

"I’m ready anytime," Xu Ping’an smiled and said.

This battle, he had not won easily.

His trump cards had been almost completely revealed.

Now, he had only one Metal Attribute Fourth Transformation of True Yuan that he hadn’t used.

Furthermore, this True Yuan was not abundant, only enough for one move.

So, the upcoming battle with Shangguan Lingyu would not be easy for Xu Ping’an.

As General Long Yan announced the results, Xu Ping’an also left the battle platform.

This battle had consumed a lot of him, but defeating Song Kaitian had indeed gained him tremendous fame.

"Dual Attribute True Elemental, Heavenly Sword Manual, True Elemental Three Transformations, Sword Silk Realm, your strength is indeed not bad. Such strength is hard to find a second one in the entire Spirit Realm," Du Juan approached and said.

"Are you saying you’re certain to win?" Xu Ping’an said with a light laugh.

"That’s one way to put it. Your strength is strong, but not strong enough for me," Du Juan stated.

"Let’s talk after your fight is finished," Xu Ping’an responded indifferently.

Hearing this response, Du Juan did not argue and walked directly towards the battle platform.

Xu Ping’an watched Du Juan leaving, with a grave look in his eyes.

This Shangguan Lingyu seemed to be even stronger than he had imagined.

After all, he had already shown so much combat power, yet she still managed to speak such words, which more than proved her impressive strength.

But Xu Ping’an did not take it to heart; defeating him would likely not be easy.

He took an Elixir and began to recuperate his True Yuan.

And at this moment, Du Juan had also stepped onto the battle platform with Qin Mu.

As General Long Yan gave the signal, Du Juan and Qin Mu began their battle.

Both their combat powers were strong. Qin Mu had finally brought out all his strength.

With Qin Mu’s capabilities, he should be stronger than Long Zhan and Yu Chenglin, only slightly inferior to Song Kaitian.

However, facing the formidable strength of Du Juan, ultimately, she displayed the Sword Silk Realm and defeated Qin Mu outright.

"Another Sword Silk Realm? Since when did the Sword Silk Realm become so devalued?" an expert couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.

The sword realm mastery displayed by Xu Ping’an and Du Juan seriously impacted them, causing some to feel on the verge of collapse.

Xu Ping’an, on the other hand, was not surprised by this.

It was within reason that Shangguan Lingyu could execute the Sword Silk Realm.

After all, she was a disciple chosen by Ling Qingyao. As an Immortal Emperor, how lofty must her vision be?

If Shangguan Lingyu had not understood it, that would have been the truly surprising event.

The audience was also astounded.

They had not anticipated that the final contenders for first place would be two dark horses whom they had previously underrated.

Of course, they didn’t know Du Juan’s true identity.

The battle between Shangguan Lingyu and her opponent ended, and it wasn’t time for the showdown between Xu Ping’an and Du Juan.

It was the battle between Song Kaitian and Qin Mu.

Both had sustained certain degrees of injury, but in the end, Song Kaitian proved to be the stronger one and secured the third place.

Qin Mu ended up fourth.

With the conclusion of the battle between Qin Mu and Song Kaitian, the final showdown of the Holy Refinement was upon them.

Xu Ping’an versus Du Juan.

"Who do you think is stronger between these two?"

"I think Xu Ping’an is stronger. He even defeated Song Kaitian."

"I actually think Du Juan is more powerful. She defeated Qin Mu so effortlessly that she obviously didn’t use her full strength."

"Both of them are very powerful, and the gap in their strengths shouldn’t be large. Plus, they both reached the Sword Silk Realm, so it’s really hard to say who will win and who will lose."

"Indeed, but I still favor Xu Ping’an."

...

The debate continued non-stop in the arena.

Many had different speculations about the strengths of Xu Ping’an and Du Juan.

However, there were clearly more people supporting Du Juan.

After all, Du Juan seemed too at ease when she previously defeated Qin Mu.

"The final battle will now commence, and whoever wins will be the champion of this Holy Refinement," General Long Yan announced.

Suddenly, the crowd burst into exclamations.

Everyone watched the field with great anticipation.

This was going to be a battle between the top geniuses of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty.

All the geniuses had serious expressions on their faces, wanting to see just how far they stood from the top combat power.

"Swoosh!"

With a light flutter, Du Juan landed on the battle platform.

All eyes were immediately drawn to her.

Many still harbored doubts about Du Juan’s strength.

How could a previously unknown disciple of the Five Elements Sect suddenly become so powerful?

But in the next moment, all doubts were dispelled.

Du Juan transformed back to her original appearance, unveiling her breathtakingly beautiful visage.

Everyone was captivated by her beauty.

"So beautiful, who is she? She can’t be Du Juan, can she?"

"It must not be her, truly beautiful. Who is she exactly?"

Everyone finally understood why Du Juan had become so powerful.

Because all along, it wasn’t Du Juan herself who was fighting.

But now, a new question arose: who exactly was this woman?

"Who are you?" General Long Yan also asked, furrowing his brows.

However, Shangguan Lingyu did not respond and instead looked towards the Sovereign of Great Qin, saying, "Disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Realm’s Qingyao Immortal Emperor and the Saintess of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Shangguan Lingyu, pays respect to the Sovereign of Great Qin."

Upon hearing these words, the entire place erupted into a commotion.

The Saintess of the Heavenly Spirit Realm?

The disciple of the Spirit Realm Immortal Emperor?

At this moment, everyone couldn’t help but be astonished.

So this woman was the Saintess of the Heavenly Spirit Realm?

No wonder she was so formidable, but why would she appear here?

"Saintess Shangguan, by appearing as a citizen of our Great Qin Immortal Dynasty to participate in the trial, do you have some hidden agenda?" the Sovereign of Great Qin inquired.

All eyes turned to Shangguan Lingyu.

At this moment, Shangguan Lingyu floated in mid-air, her presence emanating a supremely holy aura.

She looked just like a descending fairy.
