Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 325: The Origin of the Thunder Devouring Sword

The demonic creature lay in the exploded cave on the mountain side, its face seemingly contorted with a hint of pain.

Its gaze towards Xu Ping’an was filled with intense astonishment.

The power of the Sword Array itself hadn’t harmed it, but the Indestructible Thunderous Force contained within the Sword Array had eroded a portion of its essential elemental power.

This made it feel extremely displeased, that it had actually been injured by a Fifth Rank ant.

"Human child, you have enraged me," the demonic creature glared at Xu Ping’an with a gaze dense with killing intent.

However, Xu Nian’s face showed not a trace of fear; instead, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

The Indestructible Lightning was indeed effective against the demonic creature, as he had clearly sensed its aura weakening somewhat just now.

This indicated that the Indestructible Lightning had indeed inflicted substantial harm on it.

However, the effect of the Indestructible Lightning seemed to be lacking somewhat.

But he still had the power of Chaotic Thunder, and with the Chaotic Thunderous Sword Qi, he should be able to kill or severely injure the demonic creature.

Of course, he only had one chance.

Once he deployed the Chaotic Thunder, if he couldn’t deliver a fatal blow to the demonic creature, it would likely be on guard.

The current Indestructible Lightning, although it had caused harm, was not enough to fully garner its attention.

So, he only had one chance.

"Brother Li, it seems to fear fire and thunder. I possess an extremely powerful thunder force, but I need some time. Can you hold it off for a while?" Xu Ping’an conveyed his message to Li Xuanqing through a focused transmission.

"That’s great, I have a trump card that happens to be a fire attribute treasure. I can suppress it for a while, but not for too long. If Brother Xu can kill it, then nothing could be better," Li Xuanqing responded eagerly with joy upon hearing Xu Ping’an’s transmission.

He hadn’t expected that apart from the Indestructible Lightning, Xu Ping’an also possessed an even more formidable thunder power?

Keep in mind, the Indestructible Lightning was a rare treasure even for them from the Heaven Beyond Heavens.

"Then I’ll leave it to you, Brother Li," Xu Ping’an responded.

Li Xuanqing nodded and then turned his gaze towards the demonic creature.

"Die!"

The demonic creature stepped onto the ground, causing it to burst open, and charged at Xu Ping’an once again.

This time, its claws surged with an incredibly dense evil force, as strong as the power of the Nine Dragons.

Apparently, it felt threatened by Xu Ping’an and wanted to kill him.

Seeing this, Xu Ping’an used Thunder Imperial Nine Heavens, retreating at great speed.

"Your opponent is me."

At the same time, Li Xuanqing lunged forward with his spear.

A crimson elixir appeared in his hand, from which surged an immensely powerful flame aura.

"Is this a Heavenly Fire Pill condensed from the Nine Mysteries Heavenly Fire?" Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected Li Xuanqing to also have a Heavenly Fire Elixir?

As an Artifact Refiner, Xu Ping’an was naturally aware of the power of Heavenly Fire.

Heavenly Fire was a flame from the heavens and earth, and this type of fire possessed incredibly potent power.

Furthermore, the Nine Mysteries Heavenly Fire was an especially powerful type of Heavenly Fire, capable of inflicting severe damage and also known for its ability to purify evil forces.

At that moment, as Li Xuanqing took the elixir, a formidable force of Heavenly Fire exploded within him.

An extremely terrifying energy emerged.

Empowered by the force of Heavenly Fire and fueled by Li Xuanqing’s True Yuan, the fire now enveloped his entire long spear.

Li Xuanqing thrust his spear, colliding instantly with the demonic creature’s claws.

Heavenly Fire scorched, and the formidable fire power instantly incinerated the evil force.

"Ah!"

The demonic creature let out a painful cry.

Xu Ping’an, witnessing this scene, was also full of astonishment.

He had not expected Li Xuanqing to have such a tactic; with this power of Heavenly Fire, Li Xuanqing should have combat power not inferior to a Seventh Rank Peak Level.

Of course, consuming the Heavenly Fire Pill also had a significant effect of overexertion on Li Xuanqing, not only would his True Yuan be depleted afterward, but his physical body would also be scorched by the Heavenly Fire.

It could be said that Li Xuanqing was fighting desperately.

"Damn it, the power of Heavenly Fire, you actually possess the power of Heavenly Fire, I want to see just how long you can maintain it," the evil demon cursed angrily.

It wasn’t foolish enough to clash head-on with Li Xuanqing.

Instead, it constantly dodged, obviously understanding that Li Xuanqing’s power of Heavenly Fire couldn’t be maintained for too long.

However, Li Xuanqing had no intention of stopping at all, driving the power of Heavenly Fire, and kept attacking the evil demon relentlessly.

For a moment, the evil demon was being suppressed.

Seeing this, Xu Ping’an’s heart began to settle down, and he concentrated his mind, starting to urge the Thunder Devouring Sword.

Initially, the Thunder Devouring Sword started as his spinal bone, and now a new Sword Bone had been nurtured in his spine.

Therefore, the Thunder Devouring Sword now resided in Xu Ping’an’s Niwan Palace.

For Xu Ping’an to activate the Thunder Devouring Sword was not an easy task.

Before, he simply used the power of the Thunder Devouring Sword, but this time, to kill the evil demon, he had to use the extremely powerful Sword Qi in the Thunder Devouring Sword.

And this Chaotic Thunderous Sword Qi needed Xu Ping’an to continuously draw it out.

Xu Ping’an urged his True Yuan, pouring his True Yuan into the Thunder Devouring Sword.

To the Thunder Devouring Sword, Xu Ping’an’s True Yuan seemed too insignificant, and the transformed Chaotic Thunderous Sword Qi was also extremely weak.

But Xu Ping’an did not give up and started to summon his Fourth Transformation Thunder True Yuan.

With the infusion of the Fourth Transformation Thunder True Yuan, finally, the Thunder Devouring Sword emitted more of the Chaotic Thunderous Sword Qi.

As the Chaotic Thunderous Sword Qi was continuously devoured, Xu Ping’an didn’t stop, continuously popping Elixirs into his mouth.

All the power of these Elixirs turned into True Yuan, flowing into the Thunder Devouring Sword, and transformed into Chaotic Thunderous Sword Qi.

This Chaotic Thunderous Sword Qi was incredibly strong; even a hint of it possessed immensely destructive power.

Even Xu Ping’an was alarmed by the strength of it.

"Eh, such terrifying thunder energy fluctuations. Is this Chaotic Thunder? You actually have such a thing?"

Just then, the voice of the lady in the painting rang out.

Xu Ping’an wasn’t surprised by this, since with Cang Xue’s perspective, it was impossible for her not to know about Chaotic Thunder.

"I ask Senior Cang Xue to help me conceal it for a bit. I’m afraid the aura of this Chaotic Thunder will leak out and catch the evil demon’s attention," said Xu Ping’an.

"That is possible, but may I see what is emitting this Chaotic Thunder?" Cang Xue asked.

Xu Ping’an hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Alright."

The Thunder Devouring Sword was one of his greatest secrets, which Xu Ping’an hadn’t wanted to expose before.

But presently, it seemed there was no other choice.

Thus, Xu Ping’an lifted the restriction, allowing Cang Xue to observe.

"It’s that, this item is actually with you," as soon as Cang Xue saw the Thunder Devouring Sword, she exclaimed in shock.

Xu Ping’an was startled and hastily asked, "Does Senior Cang Xue know what this sword is?"

"Of course, the legendary Thunder Devouring Sword, I didn’t expect it to be in the hands of a mere mortal. Boy, possessing this item, I really don’t know whether it’s fortune or misfortune," Cang Xue sighed, seemingly reluctant to delve into the matter.

"Why would Senior say that?" Xu Ping’an asked, puzzled.

"This item is ominous," Cang Xue stated.

"Ominous?" Xu Ping’an was surprised and somewhat confused.

"Yes, ominous. Many who obtained it met with very tragic ends," Cang Xue continued.

Xu Ping’an was shocked and asked anxiously, "Can Senior tell me the origins of this Thunder Devouring Sword?"

Xu Ping’an was profoundly moved; he hadn’t expected Cang Xue to actually know the origins of the Thunder Devouring Sword.

However, as Xu Ping’an’s words fell, he received no response; Cang Xue seemed unwilling to say more.

Xu Ping’an felt a bit of regret, but at the moment, he could only let it be.

Because Li Xuanqing in the distance seemed to be having a hard time holding on.
