Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 293: A Hero of the Generation

Xu Ping’an climbed out of the deep pit.

Five deep gashes on his chest were bone-deep, his skin split open and flesh torn.

His white robe was already in tatters, and he looked extremely wretched.

However, Xu Ping’an’s eyes remained sharp, looking at the middle-aged man standing in the sky, his gaze as sharp as a knife.

The middle-aged man looked down at Xu Ping’an with an indifferent gaze.

"Is that all the strength you have? Young man, do you really think you can turn the tide?" the middle-aged man sneered.

"It’s enough to kill you," Xu Ping’an said coldly.

"Sharp-tongued. Today, you will die, and so will they all. It’s your fate. You have offended the Tiankui Sect, offended the noble Consort, and there is only one outcome for you," said the middle-aged man, as if pronouncing Xu Ping’an’s death sentence.

"Fate?" Xu Ping’an sneered, looking at the middle-aged man: "A consort of the Immortal Dynasty and a second-rate sect from the Mortal Realm, you speak as though you rule the world."

"It seems you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin. In that case, I’ll beat you until you have only a breath left, then refine you into a puppet," a sinister gleam flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes.

The next moment, the dark green puppet beside him transformed into a beam of light and charged at Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an dodged again, avoiding the puppet’s attack.

On the other side, the middle-aged man sneered with contempt: Have you run out of tricks?

"Then let me send you on your way," said the middle-aged man coldly.

The next instant, he saw an opening in Xu Ping’an’s defense, and his figure flashed, appearing on Xu Ping’an’s left.

At that moment, Xu Ping’an was facing the puppet’s attack and was about to dodge.

The spot where the middle-aged man appeared was exactly where Xu Ping’an intended to dodge.

"Die!"

The middle-aged man sneered as his Yin Claw reached for Xu Ping’an’s Heavenly Spirit Cover.

Once Xu Ping’an dodged the puppet’s attack, he would immediately be caught by the Yin Claw and die under its grasp.

The middle-aged man already envisioned the scene of prying open Xu Ping’an’s Heavenly Spirit Cover, a smug smile on his face.

"The one who is going to die is you."

However, at that moment, Xu Ping’an’s eyes flashed with a lethal glint.

He didn’t dodge the puppet’s heavy punch.

Instead, he allowed the puppet’s attack to come.

"Clang!"

A Xuanwu Shield appeared in Xu Ping’an’s hands, and the puppet’s punch smashed straight onto the shield.

The power was tremendously horrifying; a fistprint appeared on the shield instantly, and despite the shield, the force still made Xu Ping’an spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Xu Ping’an’s body was thrown backward rapidly.

"Hmph, seeking death," scoffed the middle-aged man, his face full of disdain.

Xu Ping’an’s choice not to dodge the puppet’s attack was but to delay his inevitable death.

Yet the next moment, his expression completely froze.

At Xu Ping’an’s previous location, there was now a thunder ball the size of a head suspended in mid-air.

The thunder ball was emitting an extremely destructive power.

"No..."

The middle-aged man’s face paled with horror, hurriedly summoning the puppet to shield him.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous explosion,

the thunder ball burst open, forming a gigantic thunder sphere with a diameter of a hundred meters.

Everything in the vicinity turned to charred black, swallowed by the terrifying thunder.

A massive mushroom cloud appeared in the sky, enormous shockwaves sweeping across the area.

Everyone was stunned by the scene.

What the heck!

Did Xu Ping’an cause this?

That thunder ball wasn’t ordinary, was it?

For a moment, everyone was dumbstruck.

Even the silver-armored dead soldiers fighting nearby and the people from the Tiankui Sect were dumbfounded.

Xu Ping’an’s figure flew backward, striking against a massive boulder.

The boulder exploded, and Xu Ping’an’s blood gushed out uncontrollably.

Though he was thrown far away quickly, he still got hit by the blast of thunder.

This was a thunder ball formed from many compressed Indestructible Lightnings.

At this moment, the explosion of the Indestructible Lightning thunder ball’s force could kill not just a Seventh Rank, but even an Eighth Rank.

As the smoke gradually dissipated,

a huge black pit appeared in everyone’s view.

In the pit, there now lay a man whose face was unrecognizable, and as for the puppet, it had melted to nearly half its size.

"Cough, cough!"

The middle-aged man kept coughing up blood, and now there was only air going in, with no air coming out.

His right arm and both legs were gone, and only half of his head remained.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but inhale a breath of cold air.

It was too brutal.

An expert at the Seventh Rank Eighth Layer Realm, to be dealt with so miserably by Xu Ping’an?

However, Xu Ping’an walked towards the middle-aged man step by step, and at last, crushed the middle-aged man’s head with a stomp under his horrified gaze.

Xu Ping’an’s injuries were extremely severe as well, but his eyes had already become as sharp as knives.

From a distance, many people’s regard for Xu Ping’an suddenly transformed into respect.

Somehow, when they looked at Xu Ping’an, they even felt a bit of fear in their hearts.

This guy was ruthless, the kind who would do anything to kill, sparing no effort.

Trading injury for killing, it could be said that the middle-aged man’s death was not at all unjust.

Qin Hanshuang, from afar, had also become completely stupefied.

The figure of Xu Ping’an, as seen in her eyes, filled her heart with tremendous shock.

Only at this moment did she understand what true battle was.

In the past, when Xu Ping’an said her fighting was too false, she had felt unconvinced, but now, witnessing this scene, she completely understood.

What true life-and-death struggle was.

Everything was within Xu Ping’an’s calculations.

Although Xu Ping’an’s strength was clearly inferior to his adversary’s, he managed to kill his foe with the smallest of sacrifices in the end.

This was control over the entire battle.

The dead soldiers were also greatly shocked at this moment; Xu Ping’an’s maneuvers seemed simple, but they were extremely dangerous in reality.

A slight mishap could have resulted in his own death, leaving nothing behind but bones.

Just by seeing the already cracked Xuanwu Shield, everyone understood the horrific power of the explosion that had occurred just before.

"No... impossible, even Elder Wu couldn’t kill him, how could this be?" the middle-aged beauty went completely mad.

A Seventh Layer expert trying to kill a Fifth Rank, not only failing to kill his opponent, but also getting killed in return?

This young man must have immense luck on his side.

Many powerful individuals nearby also sighed with emotion.

"No, I want you dead, everyone attack, kill Xu Ping’an, ignore the others," the middle-aged beauty screamed hysterically, her eyes filled with rage.

She had gone completely mad.

She refused to believe that so many people could not kill just one Xu Ping’an.

The remaining ten people hesitated upon hearing the middle-aged beauty’s command, but eventually, they steeled their hearts and all abandoned their opponents to attack Xu Ping’an.

Ten Seventh Rank experts, plus puppets, a total of fourteen individuals.

Not just a Fifth Rank, even an Eighth Rank strongman would be terrified to see this.

However, Xu Ping’an, facing the ten attackers, had eyes that were cold to the extreme.

"You think you can kill me? You’re not qualified yet. Sect Master Yu, you’ve been watching the show for so long, isn’t it time for you to make a move?"

At that moment, Xu Ping’an suddenly looked towards the sky and spoke indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Sect Master Yu?

Who?

The middle-aged beauty’s heart skipped a beat at once, a very bad feeling surging within her.

"Haha, young friend, you truly have opened my eyes. I, Yu Fengcheng, always keep my word," a hearty laugh resonated at that moment.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place exploded in uproar.

Yu Fengcheng?

The Sect Master of the Shangxian Sect, Yu Fengcheng?

How could this be possible?

"No good, run!" the middle-aged beauty shouted immediately.

Yu Fengcheng was a Ninth Rank expert. For such an expert to kill a Seventh Rank was complete slaughter.

"Run? Do you think you can escape from my hands?" A man in a green robe stepped through the air, his soul power transformed into an invisible sword, striking out swiftly.

"No..."

"Ahh..."

A series of screams followed.

The Seventh Rank experts didn’t have the slightest chance to fight back and were slaughtered by Yu Fengcheng’s soul sword.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The Shangxian Sect had really made a move. How did Xu Ping’an manage this?

Qin Hanshuang was also in disbelief.

She had never imagined Xu Ping’an had such an ace up his sleeve.

How on earth did he manage to enlist the aid of the Sect Master of the Shangxian Sect?

All around, many were silenced as if struck by cold, their gazes towards Xu Ping’an turning even more terrifying.

This young man was indeed ruthless.

He had the help of Yu Fengcheng, yet he insisted on dragging things out to the very end.
