Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 278: Ultimate Counterkill

Luo Tianhe, upon meeting Xu Ping’an’s gaze, also adopted an icy look in his eyes.

Originally, three Sixth Rank Peak experts and one Seventh Rank coming to kill Xu Ping’an was a surefire thing, but unexpectedly, out of the four, three had died, one of whom was at the Seventh Rank.

"Xu Ping’an, I admit you are indeed a rare talent, and your ability to kill a Seventh Rank Expert with your methods is indeed terrifying. But now, I fear you don’t have much strength left," Luo Tianhe said coldly.

"You can try," Xu Ping’an replied with a light, indifferent chuckle.

But inside, he felt somewhat solemn.

What Luo Tianhe said wasn’t wrong.

He had just used up more than half of his Thunder Attribute True Elemental and Metal Attribute True Elemental to kill those two Sixth Rank and Seventh Rank experts, leaving him with very little True Yuan in his body now.

Furthermore, he had already used all of his Fusion True Elemental techniques. When killing the Seventh Rank Expert, to ensure a lethal strike,

he had used Fusion True Elemental, and now the Three Transformations True Yuan in his body were all gone, unable to fuse any further.

On top of that, most of his techniques had already been used up, so what Luo Tianhe said was correct.

Now, his power was significantly reduced.

And Luo Tianhe was a top talent, a near-Seventh Rank Expert.

Such a being, even in Xu Ping’an’s prime state, would require the utmost caution.

However, there wasn’t the slightest hint of fear in Xu Ping’an’s eyes.

Luo Tianhe’s eyes narrowed as a surge of murderous intent filled them.

Delay could lead to complications; Luo Tianhe knew this principle all too well. Therefore, he materialized a Sharp Sword in his hand and immediately launched an attack at Xu Ping’an.

It had to be said, Luo Tianhe’s attack was incredibly fierce and tyrannical.

Xu Ping’an, faced with his assault, found it somewhat hard to defend.

He was forced to retreat step by step.

Luo Tianhe’s Tianhe Sword Decision carried a majestic aura, with sweeping and powerful moves.

Xu Ping’an could only barely manage to defend, even spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

Luo Tianhe’s attack was formidable not for the sharpness of the sword but for the extremely powerful recoil force on his sword.

This force would transfer through Xu Ping’an’s sword to his body, shaking his internal organs and causing injury.

If Xu Ping’an’s physical body weren’t so strong, he probably would have suffered from shattered internal organs and died by now.

But even so, Xu Ping’an was still seriously injured.

"Haha, Xu Ping’an, is this the extent of your power? Right now, you are hardly my match. In just a moment, you will undoubtedly die," Luo Tianhe laughed heartily, his face filled with mockery.

Currently, Xu Ping’an could only put up a passive defense against him, while his attacks were able to continually inflict damage on Xu Ping’an.

In this way, Xu Ping’an was doomed.

At this moment, Xu Ping’an’s heart was weighed heavily.

His Fourth Transformation Metal Attribute True Yuan was still unable to inflict substantial damage on Luo Tianhe’s tyrannical attacks.

Just as Luo Tianhe said, if things continued like this, he was bound to lose.

"It looks like I have to risk everything," Xu Ping’an’s eyes revealed a ruthless determination.

The next instant, a ring on his finger briefly lit up.

A force, without making a sound, crept through the ring and entered his body.

"Boy, have you lost your mind? You forcibly drawing so much Indestructible Lightning into you, your physical body simply won’t hold up; it will collapse," Lei Shi’s voice echoed in Xu Ping’an’s mind.

"I can’t bother with that now; I must kill him," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself in his heart.

He continued to draw Indestructible Lightning into his body.

And as the Indestructible Lightning poured in, his physical body began to show signs of collapse.

Cracks started to form in his Meridians, and an unbearable pain burst within him.

However, Xu Ping’an’s face retained its composure.

Lei Shi was astonished, thinking this young man was truly ruthless, harsh not just on others but even more so on himself.

To kill this kid, Luo Tianhe was far from enough.

Luo Tianhe was unaware of Xu Ping’an’s actions; at this moment, he was exceedingly smug.

"Xu Ping’an, do you know? I have obtained the ’Xuantian Divine Record,’ a Twelfth Rank Cultivation Technique. This technique is extremely profound, with True Elemental Power incredibly strong. The power of my attacks has doubled, which is why you have no chance of being my match," Luo Tianhe sneered.

With one sword strike,

Clang!

He cleaved as if to split mountains and rivers.

Xu Ping’an held his sword horizontally for defense.

But the force on the sword was extremely terrifying.

"Puh!"

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

His internal organs felt as if they were being viciously hammered, causing him excruciating pain.

He was sent flying backward at high speed.

"Haha, Xu Ping’an, you’re doomed to lose." Luo Tianhe laughed wildly.

He was the number one genius.

Xu Ping’an was nothing but an ant who was lucky for a moment.

Only those who truly survive and make it to the end are the real geniuses.

While Xu Ping’an would simply be forgotten by time.

Xu Ping’an’s body crashed into a distant wall, which collapsed, leaving nothing but ruins.

Ever since their battle began, the noise had been enormous.

Yet no guards had come, so Xu Ping’an knew, just as he had suspected, that the guards had been bought off.

Now he could only rely on himself.

Luo Tianhe walked step by step towards the ruins where Xu Ping’an lay, with undisguised contempt in his eyes.

"Xu Ping’an, no one will come to your rescue. This place has been sealed off, and all those related to you have been contained. Today, you will undoubtedly die," Luo Tianhe said with a cold smile.

"That’s a bold move, it must be the Crown Prince who sent you," Xu Ping’an said as he climbed out of the debris, looking somewhat disheveled.

It had to be said, Luo Tianhe’s strength was formidable.

He was significantly stronger than Shangguan Lingyu with her sealed cultivation.

"There’s no harm in telling you. You can only blame yourself for choosing the wrong side. If you had chosen to be on the Crown Prince’s side, even I wouldn’t have been able to touch you," Luo Tianhe said with a chuckle.

"So it is him," a fierce killing intent flashed in Xu Ping’an’s eyes.

The Crown Prince was indeed a ruthless person; Xu Ping’an had just chosen his side, and the Crown Prince was already trying to kill him.

"Hmph, perhaps this is your fate. Don’t worry, I’ll make it quick for you, and I will gladly take the Dao Laws fragments you’ve acquired. Also, after your death, I will ’visit’ that beautiful woman of yours. If she submits to me, I might spare her life, but if not, don’t blame me for tormenting her," Luo Tianhe said with a sinister smile, his eyes filled with barely concealed pride.

In his view, Xu Ping’an was already like a fish on the chopping board.

A surge of intense killing intention flashed in Xu Ping’an’s eyes.

Luo Tianhe was seeking death by even thinking of laying a hand on Li Qingyi.

"You deserve to die," Xu Ping’an said coldly.

Luo Tianhe, however, was unconcerned, looking at Xu Ping’an with disdain.

The next moment, he was going to swing his sword and kill Xu Ping’an.

But just then, Xu Ping’an suddenly burst forth.

Immense Thunder Power converged on his arm.

And his arm swelled in size instantly.

"I said you deserve to die."

In a flash, Xu Ping’an appeared right in front of Luo Tianhe.

He threw a punch, carrying fearsome Thunder Light.

Luo Tianhe was startled and hastily summoned all his True Yuan to strike with his sword.

However, he had ultimately underestimated the power of Xu Ping’an’s punch.

Xu Ping’an released his punch.

The terrifying Thunder Power surged out in an instant.

Upon contact with the Thunder Light, Luo Tianhe’s long sword burst apart immediately.

Then Xu Ping’an’s fist landed on his chest.

As the power exploded, Luo Tianhe’s body seemed to be vaporized by an incredibly terrifying force, completely shattered.

Not only that, but everything within a hundred meters behind Luo Tianhe turned into a huge fan-shaped deep crater.

Even Xu Ping’an’s arm, with its blood vessels and meridians, burst open, a mess of blood and flesh.

But Xu Ping’an didn’t linger, he quickly took Luo Tianhe’s storage ring and vanished from the spot.
