Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 300 Soul Combat Technique

```

He punched and killed a Seventh Rank Second Layer Realm expert.

And it seemed to be a frontal kill, which made Zhang Yu feel as if he was hallucinating.

A Fifth Rank Ninth Layer Realm cultivator possessing such terrifying strength?

He was a Sixth Rank First Layer Realm expert, and yet against a Seventh Rank, he was less than an ant.

How could a Fifth Rank possibly do that?

No, that’s not right, there has been a Fifth Rank cultivator who achieved this feat.

Xu Ping’an, the fellow who has recently become famous throughout the empire.

It is said that he alone killed five Seventh Rank experts, including one at the Eighth Layer Realm.

And that fellow’s cultivation was only at the Fifth Rank Second Layer Realm.

Xu Ping’an?

Xu Feng?

Could it be that the Xu Feng in front of them was Xu Ping’an?

This discovery made Zhang Yu’s heart skip a beat once again.

If the fellow in front of them was the god of slaughter, Xu Ping’an, were they not doomed?

Meanwhile, Li Shuangshuang and Song Yan were also discussing it.

"Senior sister, don’t you think this Xu Feng resembles that guy from the rumors?" Li Shuangshuang suddenly said.

"Are you talking about the god of slaughter, Xu Ping’an?" Song Yan immediately caught on and responded.

"Yes, Xu Ping’an. It’s said that when Xu Ping’an killed Seventh Ranks, he also relied on his fists, and he seemed to wear a black glove," Li Shuangshuang said.

Upon hearing this, both of them exchanged shocked glances.

Could this all be just a coincidence?

"Xu Ping’an? Right, now I remember, his name is Xu Ping’an; he tricked me before, claiming that he was named Xu Feng," Qin Yu said with a sudden realization.

Li Shuangshuang and Song Yan looked at Qin Yu in surprise.

"You’re saying his name is Xu Ping’an?" Li Shuangshuang asked hesitantly.

"Yes, when I first met him, he told me his name was Xu Ping’an, hmph, he even lied about being called Xu Feng, I knew something was amiss," Qin Yu said, hands on her hips in frustration.

"So it really is him?" Li Shuangshuang and Song Yan were both shocked.

"What’s wrong?" Qin Yu looked at them, puzzled.

"You might not know, but this guy is now a famous god of slaughter in the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty. Do you know how many Seventh Rank experts came to kill him when he left the capital?" Li Shuangshuang said with a sense of wonderment.

"How many? Five?" Qin Yu guessed.

"Fifteen," Li Shuangshuang replied.

"That many? And he didn’t die?" Qin Yu said with astonishment.

"Not only did he not die, but he also killed five Seventh Ranks in return," Li Shuangshuang said, stunned.

"Wow, that’s strong! Is he really a Fifth Rank?" Qin Yu also widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Yes, it’s said that when he left the capital, he was only at the Fifth Rank Second Layer Realm, and now he’s already reached the Ninth Layer," Li Shuangshuang explained.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu looked at Xu Ping’an in shock as well.

When she first saw Xu Ping’an, he was pathetically weak.

How did he become so powerful in just over a year?

Song Yan also looked up at Xu Ping’an in the sky, shocked.

Was this the number one in Holy Refinement, the Xu Ping’an who could kill a Seventh Rank with his bare hands as if slaughtering chickens?

So young?

Even excessively young.

...

Xu Ping’an stood proudly, his white robe stained with blood, which made him particularly conspicuous.

He looked up at the Seventh Rank Third Layer Realm expert not far away.

The latter’s expression had also become extremely grave at this moment.

"Xu Ping’an? Are you that Xu Ping’an who killed five Seventh Rank experts?" the middle-aged man with grey hair asked.

"It’s me, I didn’t expect my reputation to be this big," Xu Ping’an smiled and said.

He hadn’t anticipated his fame to reach such an extent.

A god of slaughter?

Wasn’t this title a bit too domineering? He felt somewhat unable to live up to it.

"You were able to kill Seventh Ranks, surely you have a Soul Defense Immortal Device, right? And that glove on your hand must also be an Immortal Artifact," the grey-haired man observed as he looked at Xu Ping’an.

"You have good eyesight," Xu Ping’an smiled and said.

Indeed, his Black Nether gloves were an Immortal Artifact.

His own physical body’s strength was about equivalent to the power of one dragon and fifty elephants, and with the addition of True Elemental Power, it was about the Power of Two Dragons.

Combined with the reinforcement from a fragment of the Dao Laws, he could exert the Power of Four Dragons.

With the Black Nether gloves enhancing his punches, the power he unleashed was no less than that of Five Dragons.

When he left the capital, Xu Ping’an could approximately harness the Power of Three Dragons, but now it had already reached Five Dragons.

So Xu Ping’an’s direct combat power was now comparable to the Seventh Rank Fifth Layer Realm.

However, this was also built on the premise that Lei Shi defended his Niwan Palace.

```

Otherwise, a Seventh Rank expert’s Soul Power could instantly destroy his soul origin, causing him to die on the spot.

The Seventh Rank, Second Layer Realm cultivator from just now had Soul Power that was roughly equivalent to the Power of One Dragon, and his True Elemental Power didn’t even reach the Power of Two Dragons.

To defend against Xu Ping’an’s attack was almost an impossibility.

"After killing you, all these will be mine," the Seventh Rank cultivator’s eyes surged with intense greed.

Having said that, a Sharp Sword appeared in the grey-haired cultivator’s hand.

"A Semi-Immortal Artifact?" Xu Ping’an’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

These three Seventh Rank cultivators seemed to have quite considerable resources.

One possessed a Defensive Immortal Device, and another a Semi-Immortal Artifact?

The so-called Semi-Immortal Artifact was different from the pseudo-Immortal Artifact that Xu Ping’an had refined.

A Semi-Immortal Artifact truly reached the level of an Immortal Artifact, though its power was somewhat weaker than a standardized Immortal Artifact.

However, the force it unleashed was quite formidable.

"Be careful, he may have Soul-based Combat Techniques, and if he really does, I might not be able to defend against them," Lei Shi’s voice echoed in Xu Ping’an’s mind.

Xu Ping’an nodded his head.

He had guessed as much.

The opponent didn’t seem to be a Loose Cultivator but came from some powerful faction.

Thus, the likelihood of the opponent having Soul Combat Techniques was extremely high.

"Die! Soul Annihilating Sword Gang," the grey-haired man attacked, urging the Immortal Sword in his hand.

A terrifying force immediately exploded from the Immortal Sword.

This force did not come from True Yuan, but from Soul Power.

Xu Ping’an’s expression changed.

It was indeed a Soul-based Combat Technique.

Although it wasn’t an especially powerful Soul-based Combat Technique, this move, once executed, posed a significant threat to Xu Ping’an.

Luckily, the guy was not well-versed in this combat technique.

At this moment, as the sword slashed down, a dreadful Soul Sword Light instantly tore through the void, slashing viciously towards Xu Ping’an.

This one strike, if it hit an ordinary Seventh Rank low-layer cultivator, would instantly annihilate the opponent’s soul origin.

To defend against this strike, relying on True Elemental Power was impossible.

"No good, I can’t block this one," Lei Shi’s voice rang out again in Xu Ping’an’s mind.

Lei Shi had expended a huge amount of energy during this period, and the last battle had left him extremely weak.

If he forcibly blocked this attack, even his soul origin might not hold out.

"Step back," Xu Ping’an immediately ordered.

"But..." Lei Shi wanted to say something else.

"Step back," Xu Ping’an explosively shouted.

Upon hearing these words, Lei Shi could only retreat back into the Golden Radiance Ring.

As Lei Shi retreated into the Golden Radiance Ring, Xu Ping’an instantly activated the Thunder Devouring Sword.

The Thunder Devouring Sword was a Divine Artifact; although it was not a defensive or mainly soul-based artifact, it still had a certain effect on Soul Defense.

"Boom!"

The Seventh Rank expert’s Soul Sword Qi struck Xu Ping’an’s Niwan Palace.

The Thunder Devouring Sword immediately burst forth with a terrifying Thunder Power.

"Boom!"

As the two forces collided, Xu Ping’an felt as though his head would split apart from the pain.

Nevertheless, the sword qi was ultimately warded off by the power of Xu Ping’an’s Thunder Devouring Sword.

"Thank goodness, I blocked it," Xu Ping’an’s head throbbed with pain, but he also let out a slight sigh of relief.

Had it not been for the Thunder Devouring Sword, he would have perished.

"What? You’re actually not dead?" The Seventh Rank expert was astonished to see that Xu Ping’an hadn’t died and immediately showed a look of surprise.

"The one who will die is you!"

Xu Ping’an acted in an instant, executing Thunder Imperial Nine Heavens to its limits and appeared before his opponent in the blink of an eye.

He absolutely could not give his opponent a second chance to use Soul Combat Techniques.

Although the opponent was greatly drained and likely didn’t have a second opportunity to execute them, Xu Ping’an couldn’t afford to take that risk.

The moment he appeared before his opponent, Xu Ping’an struck with all his might.

This punch even caused the void to crack.

The Seventh Rank expert was also deeply shocked and hastily tried to defend against it.

But Xu Ping’an’s attack was too strong and too fast, directly breaking through his defenses and striking his body.

"Bang!"

The grey-haired man’s body instantly exploded, scattering flesh and blood everywhere.

"Another one killed?"

Song Yan and the others were once again shocked.
