Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 317: Whoever believes you is a fool

"Young Master Zhao? Do you still think I lack the strength now, or would you care to face my sword?" Xu Ping’an looked at Zhao Qiming and said with a light laugh.

"There’s no need for that, I was short-sighted. Indeed, Xu Dao-friend has all the qualifications for the treasure," Zhao Qiming hurriedly responded with a sheepish grin.

He definitely didn’t want to take a sword strike from Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an’s sword had the capacity to cut down a Seventh Rank Peak expert, and it had already killed four Seventh Rankers.

If he were to take a strike from Xu Ping’an’s sword, his end would undoubtedly be miserable.

"I feel that Young Master Zhao still doesn’t fully understand my strength; it would be better if you took one sword strike," Xu Ping’an continued to press.

Zhao Qiming’s face instantly turned pale.

He had thought Xu Ping’an only intended to scare him, but from what he was saying now, it seemed as though he truly wanted to strike him with his sword.

"Xu Dao-friend, I think there’s no need, the previous incident was a misunderstanding. Your strength is great, I was blind not to see Mount Tai," Zhao Qiming hastily said.

Upon hearing this, both Qin Yu and Li Shuangshuang couldn’t help but scoff disdainfully.

"A coward that bullies the weak and fears the strong, have the guts to act so arrogantly again," Qin Yu said with a look of contempt.

Zhao Qiming gave an awkward smile but did not retort.

After all, Xu Ping’an was holding such a powerful weapon, and to confront him at this time would be purely seeking discomfort.

As for Qin Yu’s contempt, let her scorn if she wants to.

Xu Ping’an also laughed lightly, looking at Zhao Qiming with a sneer and said, "I still think Young Master Zhao doesn’t have a deep enough understanding of me. This sword strike must be delivered."

"Please, no, I’ve got a deep understanding now, Brother Xu, there seems to be only two more sword Qi left in this brush; when it’s used up, it’s gone—no need to waste it," Zhao Qiming was truly panicked now.

Xu Ping’an just sneered, looking at a flustered Zhao Qiming, he wielded the brush in his hand and burst forth another sky-shaking Sword Radiance.

As soon as this sword was unleashed, everyone’s faces changed.

F*ck!

Is Xu Ping’an for real?

Knowing there are still two strikes of Sword Qi left, he still used it?

"Bastard!" Zhao Qiming was even more furious.

He quickly brought out his own Defensive Immortal Device, and at the same time, the True Yuan in his body surged forth, instantly activating a Defensive Immortal Talisman.

However, the three companions traveling with Zhao Qiming didn’t have such defensive measures; they could only rely on their own strength to counter it.

"Puchi!"

Blood spurted out, staining the sky red.

The three Seventh Rank experts were directly slain by this sword strike.

"Puchi!"

Even with a Defensive Immortal Talisman, Zhao Qiming still ended up with the talisman shattered and spat out a mouthful of blood, seriously injured.

Everyone who witnessed this gasped in shock.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

Xu Ping’an had indeed delivered the second Sword Qi.

Xie Fengyun and the Third Prince also changed their expressions drastically, their gaze towards Xu Ping’an became extremely solemn.

A madman.

An absolute madman.

Zhao Qiming had clearly shown intentions of backing down, yet Xu Ping’an still launched that sword strike.

Everyone knew that such Sword Qi, once used, was gone forever.

Anyone would cherish it greatly.

But Xu Ping’an had launched the second sword without hesitation.

If this isn’t madness, what is?

At this moment, Zhao Qiming, clutching his chest, disheveled and with a look of deep resentment, was staring at Xu Ping’an.

His three Seventh Rank guards had all been killed, and he had even used a Low Grade Defensive Immortal Talisman.

Such treasures, even for him, were meant for preserving life.

Yet they were wasted here.

It wasn’t only Qin Yu and others who felt Xu Ping’an’s ruthlessness; even Li Xuanqing and the rest could now sense how fierce Xu Ping’an was.

However, in the next moment, they were completely stunned.

"Eh, you’re not dead yet? Then let me borrow you another sword," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

After speaking, he once again raised the brush in his hand.

Seeing this action, Zhao Qiming’s scalp went numb instantly.

Again?

F*ck!

This Xu Ping’an must be a mad dog, right?

"Xu Ping’an, don’t really think I’m afraid of you. This is your last Sword Qi. Do you truly want to waste this chance on me? And if you kill me, Yuheng Heaven will never let you off," Zhao Qiming threatened hastily.

Qin Yu and Xie Fengyun in the distance were also extremely shocked.

However, at this moment, they actually hoped Xu Ping’an would unleash that sword strike.

Li Xuanqing and Qin Yu were also stunned, wasn’t Xu Ping’an being a bit too ruthless?

Even the Snow Spirit Guards of the Snow King’s Residence felt the terror of Xu Ping’an at this moment.

This guy is a madman.

However, they thought that Xu Ping’an should save this opportunity, after all, with Sword Qi present, he could deter others.

"Forget it, I’ll spare your life,"

Just as Zhao Qiming was preparing to fight for his life, Xu Ping’an suddenly said.

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Qiming immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at that moment, Xu Ping’an’s eyes turned ice cold, and his hand holding the brush slashed unhesitatingly.

"Xu Ping’an."

Just as Zhao Qiming relaxed, he felt a terrifying Sword Qi attacking him.

That instant, Zhao Qiming was furiously enraged, and he bellowed with all his might.

Was Xu Ping’an actually attacking?

Everyone else was also shocked.

What the hell, Xu Ping’an actually unleashed the third sword strike?

Zhao Qiming is really miserable.

At this moment, Zhao Qiming couldn’t care less, a Jade Pendant appeared in his hand, which he quickly crushed.

A powerful force erupted, instantly colliding with the Sword Qi.

Once again struck by the aftershocks, Zhao Qiming’s figure was sent flying backward, becoming extremely disheveled.

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering roar.

"Huh, an Eighth Rank Soul Power Jade Talisman? Indeed you still have treasures," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

The crowd at a distance was also surprised, but they weren’t amazed by Zhao Qiming’s defensive technique, rather they were amazed that Xu Ping’an had used all three Sword Qi strikes.

Didn’t this guy feel it was a pity?

Zhao Qiming gritted his teeth, staring fiercely at Xu Ping’an.

The Immortal Talisman and the Jade Token were his life-saving treasures, originally intended for critical moments upon entering the Heavenly Star Divine Palace.

But now they were consumed here.

Xu Ping’an, this madman.

"Why did Zhao Qiming have to provoke Xu Ping’an of all people?" Xue Hu had a look of someone enjoying the drama, clicking his tongue as he spoke.

The guard following Xue Hu felt a sense of regret, Zhao Qiming was really down on his luck.

Two protective treasures had been used up.

That was equivalent to losing two chances to save his life; with that, it would be much easier for others to kill him.

"Xu Ping’an, you’ve probably used up all the Sword Qi in that pen, haven’t you? To kill me, you’ve wasted such a treasure, and now without Sword Qi, what else can you rely on?"

Zhao Qiming had bloodshot eyes, looking at Xu Ping’an with a bloodthirsty murderous intent.

Suddenly everyone’s eyes were on Xu Ping’an, especially the Third Prince and Xie Fengyun and the others who were slightly moved.

That’s right, now without Sword Qi, Xu Ping’an couldn’t pose a threat to them anymore, could he?

Li Xuanqing and the others were also slightly frowning.

The Snow Spirit Guards shook their heads, after all, too young and a bit impulsive.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’an seemed to wake from a dream, saying with a scared face, "Right, without Sword Qi, wouldn’t I be at your mercy? What should I do if you come to kill me for my treasures?"

His words had barely left his mouth when Zhao Qiming’s face immediately stiffened.

Damn!

Could their expressions be any faker?

Are they trying to trick me again?

Xie Fengyun and Qin Yu also instantly dismissed the idea of dealing with Xu Ping’an.

This guy must be acting, right?

Is he trying to lure someone into a trap and then backstab them severely?

Li Xuanqing and others were speechless.

Xu Ping’an must have a backup plan, or else he definitely wouldn’t look like this.

"I really don’t have a backup plan, come and kill me for my treasures," Xu Ping’an quickly called out.

Hearing this, Xie Fengyun, Qin Yu, and Zhao Qiming all rolled their eyes.

Go to hell.

If we believe that, we’d be your grandsons.

If you didn’t have a backup plan, would you have used your three Sword Qi’s so readily?

Who would believe that?
