Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 267 You Lost

"He succeeded? He actually succeeded?"

As the golden thunder appeared in an instant, a series of gasps sounded from the crowd.

Everyone felt their hearts tremble when they saw the True Yuan fluctuations on Xu Ping’an’s Golden Thunder Sword.

At this moment, the Golden Thunder True Yuan pulsated on Xu Ping’an’s sword, emitting an incredibly terrifying aura.

Dominant, sharp, destructive...

The mere aura emanating from the sharp sword was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.

And when that True Yuan turned into sword threads, everyone’s souls trembled.

A sense of deathly oppression suddenly arrived.

Those dreadful sword threads conjured a sensation of apocalyptic destruction.

Sword threads coiled around the Golden Thunder Sword, resembling golden thunder serpents.

One, two...

A total of thirty-six sword threads.

These threads wrapped around the sharp sword, directly shaking the void, cutting through space, leaving spatial rifts.

"How can I feel that this one sword could threaten me?" muttered a cultivator who had just entered the Seventh Rank.

"Is this attack really performed by a Fifth Rank Cultivator?" echoed a Seventh Rank Expert by his side, equally incredulous.

"Damn, it looks like I’ve practiced all my cultivation inside a dog’s belly. I must’ve broken through to a fake Seventh Rank," swore the cultivator.

The others were also left speechless in response.

These two were simply freaks, completely overturning the limitations of their ranks.

Xu Ping’an was oblivious to these reactions; by now, he had finished condensing the sword threads.

Looking ahead at Shangguan Lingyu, she, too, had completed the condensation of her Wind Blade.

The Wind Blade was also terrifyingly strong, forming a ten-meter spatial vortex outright.

It was evident that the power of the Wind Blade was truly immense.

"Take this, Absolute Blade," Shangguan Lingyu said, holding her sharp sword with a breath-taking and elusive aura.

With one slash, an extremely terrifying Wind Blade was instantly released.

The Wind Blade spun at a high speed, reaching an alarmingly fearsome rate.

The velocity of its spin alone might have surpassed the speed of sound a hundred times over.

Everything the Wind Blade passed through was cleaved apart.

All was reduced to fine powder.

The Wind Blade rapidly swept towards Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an, watching the oncoming Wind Blade, had eyes filled with an extremely fierce light.

"Heaven-Opening," he bellowed.

With a mighty shout, the Golden Thunder Sword in his hand instantly slashed down.

Thirty-six sword threads merged into one, transforming into a massive thread that poured down.

The sword thread flew out, colliding with the Wind Blade.

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering explosion.

The heavens and the earth seemed to split.

A terribly fierce wind swept across the entire venue in an instant.

The surrounding Defensive Array emitted a whistling sound as it was cut by the frightful wind.

This noise was enough to shatter eardrums.

Even the entire Formation began to seem as though it was on the verge of collapsing.

"Strengthen the Formation," yelled General Yan Wu.

Immediately after, more than a dozen Seventh Rank Experts dashed out, channeling their True Yuan to fortify the Formation.

However, the Formation still shook violently, on the brink of shattering.

Witnessing this scene, all spectators were dumbstruck.

These two were too strong.

So powerful that the audience thought they were watching two Seventh Rank Experts in battle.

"Boom!"

Another thunderous explosion.

The two forces detonated.

The entire battlefield was annihilated in an instant.

Smoke enveloped the area as the fierce wind swept through the whole Formation.

Fortunately, an Eighth Rank Strongman intervened at the last moment, stabilizing the Formation, otherwise it wouldn’t have held.

"Who won?" someone asked, looking at the smoke-filled battlefield, puzzled.

The rest of the people also looked anxiously towards the battlefield.

This battle was indeed beyond belief.

Shangguan Lingyu’s strength was to be expected to everyone, and that was only natural.

After all, Shangguan Lingyu was the Saintess of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, possessing some of the strongest top-tier resources.

But Xu Ping’an was from a minor sect that wouldn’t even count as third-rate.

Such a character was truly astonishing.

Even Song Kaitian and the others were so shocked they were rendered speechless at this moment.

This battle could definitely be documented in history as a milestone of the Sovereign of Great Qin’s Holy Refinement.

"They couldn’t all be dead, could they?" someone suggested a thought.

"Shouldn’t be, at least Shangguan Lingyu wouldn’t die, she is a Sixth Rank Expert herself," someone said.

The news of Shangguan Lingyu sealing her cultivation had already spread, so when they learned that she had sealed her own cultivation, they were even more amazed at her strength.

If she hadn’t sealed it, perhaps some Seventh Rank Experts wouldn’t be her match.

"Look over there!"

At that moment, someone suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone immediately turned their attention in that direction.

They saw Shangguan Lingyu standing up from the ruins, her clothes somewhat shattered and traces of blood on her body.

Clearly, she had been injured, and it seemed not lightly.

"Shangguan Lingyu is still standing, does that mean Xu Ping’an lost?" someone said in surprise.

Upon hearing this, many people also showed expressions of disappointment.

Had Xu Ping’an lost?

They had held some hope before, hoping Xu Ping’an could defeat Shangguan Lingyu.

This was not just because Xu Ping’an was a scion of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, but more so because Xu Ping’an represented the hope of mortals overcoming the prodigies of the Spirit Realm.

But now...

"Look, Xu Ping’an is also standing, he hasn’t lost yet," just then, someone suddenly shouted.

Everyone immediately turned towards the source of the sound.

Indeed, Xu Ping’an was leaning on the sword in his hand, standing unsteadily in a deep pit.

Xu Ping’an’s upper garment had been completely torn, revealing his perfect muscular contours.

The trousers below were also torn to shreds, and his body was covered with many more bloodstains.

And the True Yuan inside his body had been completely exhausted.

"Who won?" someone voiced the doubt in their heart.

Many people were also full of curiosity.

Were they going to continue fighting?

But looking at the two of them in their current state, it seemed they were unable to fight anymore, right?

"Xu Ping’an has won," however, at this moment, Song Kaitian suddenly spoke up.

As soon as he said this, the whole place was in an uproar.

Many Seventh Rank and even Eighth Rank Strongmen were also shocked.

Xu Ping’an had won.

"You’ve lost," Xu Ping’an looked at Shangguan Lingyu and smiled.

Shangguan Lingyu’s expression grew serious and a bit unpleasant.

Unexpectedly, she had lost, and it was at the very last moment that she had unlocked the seal.

If she hadn’t unsealed it, she would’ve died.

So she had lost this battle.

"I lost; this belongs to you now," Shangguan Lingyu didn’t waste words and threw over a Jade Vial.

Xu Ping’an caught the Jade Vial, his face also revealing a weary smile.

Storing the Jade Vial in his storage ring, he looked at Shangguan Lingyu and smiled, "I will eventually go to the Heavenly Spirit Realm, but not now."

Shangguan Lingyu looked deeply at Xu Ping’an and finally spoke, "Xu Ping’an, although I’ve lost to you in this battle, this doesn’t mean you can always defeat me, and if we talk about true strength, you are no match for me."

Xu Ping’an smiled lightly, Shangguan Lingyu was right.

In a real battle to the death, who would seal their cultivation to fight evenly with you?

But he would eventually catch up to her.

"Xu Ping’an, the next time we meet I will fight you again, but next time, I won’t seal my cultivation. If you are not as good as me, then you only have one path to death."

Having said that, Shangguan Lingyu crushed a Jade Token.

Wu Tianjian also flew over from afar.

A giant beam of light descended.

Xu Ping’an knew it was a Teleportation Array that could directly transport someone to the Spirit Realm.

The Sovereign of Great Qin frowned slightly but did not stop her.

Xu Ping’an was also surprised, was she leaving just like that?

"Xu Ping’an, we will meet again very soon." Having said that, the figures of Shangguan Lingyu and Wu Tianjian disappeared into the light beam.
