Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 340: Ninth Rank Expert

```

"Boom!"

The sword light slashed down, instantly severing the large tree where Xu Ping’an and his companions were situated.

The ground was torn apart, creating a vast chasm.

"Eh, they actually dodged it."

One of the tall cultivators among the two Seventh Rank Cultivators let out a surprised murmur.

Both of them then turned their gaze toward Xu Ping’an and Gu Lingyan.

When they saw Gu Lingyan’s appearance, an extremely greedy look instantly surged in their eyes.

"A superb beauty, I didn’t expect to find such a gem here," the tall man said excitedly.

"Yeah, that guy Wang Lei caught a beauty earlier, played with her for quite a while, and boasted in front of us for a long time. But compared to this one, that beauty was nothing; this is truly a superb one," the bald man said with a lewd laugh.

"Haha, we are in luck. Since there’s still time before the teleportation formation activates, we can enjoy ourselves thoroughly," the tall man said.

"Right, let’s kill this man first and then capture the woman. Be careful, the woman has a Seventh Rank Sixth Layer cultivation, but as for the man, a worthless Sixth Rank, just slay him directly," the bald man said with a disdainful laugh.

The lust in their eyes toward Gu Lingyan was palpable.

Hearing their words, Gu Lingyan’s face instantly darkened.

"Beasts," Gu Lingyan cursed vehemently, her eyes filled with intense anger.

Xu Ping’an also felt a surge of murderous intent at this moment.

If these people had merely been acting on orders from those stronger than themselves to claim the teleportation gate and exterminate loose cultivators, it might have been somewhat justifiable.

But their words now made it clear to him that these people were rotten to the core.

"You by Heaven Beyond Heavens developement cultivators, not only massacre loose cultivators but also plan to violate women? Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?" Xu Ping’an asked coldly.

"Haha, too far? You, a Sixth Rank, think you can act as the arbiter of justice? Boy, strength dictates everything. We are powerful, and therefore, we do as we please," the tall man laughed heartily.

The bald man also showed a face full of disdain, impatiently said: "Zhang Junior Brother, you go, get rid of this kid."

"Yes, thank you Senior Brother. A Sixth Rank Fourth Layer is as easy to kill as slaughtering a chicken," the tall man said disdainfully.

Xu Ping’an’s eyes, however, gleamed with a chilling light.

It seemed there was no need for further words.

Without hesitation, Xu Ping’an immediately unleashed Thunder Imperial Nine Heavens and charged rapidly towards the tall man.

He needed to resolve these two quickly; otherwise, it would be disadvantageous for them if dragged on.

The tall man in front of him was not weak, with a cultivation close to that of Gu Lingyan, both at Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Realm.

As for the bald man nearby, he was one layer higher, at Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Realm.

That was why they were so arrogant.

"Seeking death," scorn flashed in the tall man’s eyes.

A Sixth Rank Cultivator, instead of fleeing, was actually charging towards him; wasn’t this courting death?

Thus, in the next moment, the man immediately stimulated his Soul Power, transforming it into a Sharp Sword, stabbing towards Xu Ping’an’s Niwan Palace.

To him, the Niwan Palace of a Sixth Rank Cultivator was like paper – pierce it, and it would break, completely incapable of withstanding an attack.

The bald man also had a look of scorn.

A moth to the flame, seeking its own destruction.

"Hum!"

However, just as the tall man thought his Soul-Powered Sharp Sword would instantly kill Xu Ping’an, he was shocked to find that it seemed to have struck an iron plate.

It couldn’t penetrate Xu Ping’an’s Niwan Palace?

"What?"

The man was greatly startled, showing an extremely shocked expression.

His Soul-Powered Sharp Sword couldn’t shake the Niwan Palace of a Sixth Rank Cultivator?

Xu Ping’an, on the other hand, scoffed, throwing a punch.

On his fist, the power was immense.

He had previously consumed two Heavenly Dragon Fruits, the effects of which had not yet been fully digested.

After killing Luo Henfeng, Xu Ping’an had absorbed some of the remaining medicinal power, further strengthening his Niwan Palace.

The Soul Attack from the Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Realm cultivator couldn’t breach his Niwan Palace without using a Combat Technique.

```

The tall man felt the terrifying force on his fist and immediately attempted to defend himself.

But it was still too late. Xu Ping’an was already too close, less than two meters away.

At such a distance, it was almost instantaneous.

So before the man could defend, he was struck in the chest by a fist.

His body instantly burst open under this horrific force, turning into a mist of blood.

"What?" The bald man’s complexion changed instantly.

His junior brother was killed by a punch?

How is that possible?

Even if my own strength isn’t great, I shouldn’t be unable to kill someone at the Sixth Rank Fourth Layer Realm, right?

Xu Ping’an, however, sneered coldly as his figure flashed again, charging towards the bald man.

The bald man’s eyes also instantly sharpened, and he immediately used all his Soul Power to conjure a fierce tiger that charged towards Xu Ping’an.

At the same time, a pseudo Immortal Artifact Shield appeared in his hand, apparently to block Xu Ping’an’s punch attack.

Xu Ping’an felt a piercing pain in his head as the bald man’s soul tiger tore through his Niwan Palace.

At this moment, the soul tiger was slashing at Xu Ping’an’s Soul Origin Liquid.

"What? This is the Niwan Palace?" the man exclaimed in shock.

Upon breaching Xu Ping’an’s Niwan Palace, the bald man was stunned.

How could the Niwan Palace be so huge?

Holy shit, the volume of this Niwan Palace is almost twenty times the size of his own Niwan Palace.

How is this possible?

Let alone the opponent being at Sixth Rank, even if he were at Seventh Rank, Eighth Rank, or even Ninth Rank, the Niwan Palace couldn’t possibly be this large.

Seeing the other party stunned, Xu Ping’an chuckled lightly.

This time he didn’t use his fist but instead brought out a pen.

He also deployed the Heavenly Sword Manual.

"Heaven-Opening!"

With a light shout, Xu Ping’an’s Thunder Attribute True Elemental surged wildly within him.

A whopping two hundred thousand sword-shaped True Elementals instantly poured into the Immortal Artifact pen, further strengthened by the Giant Character Dao Force.

The force instantly reached the power of thirteen dragons.

With one slash, the sword light was extremely fierce.

The next moment, both the bald man and the shield in his hand were cut in half by Xu Ping’an.

"No..."

The bald man let out an unwilling roar.

But at this moment, he had completely lost the ability to think.

Without his consciousness to control it, the soul tiger instantly turned into a mass of pure Soul Power and merged into Xu Ping’an’s Soul Origin Liquid.

This portion of Soul Power was instantly refined by Xu Ping’an.

"Not bad, I didn’t expect to be able to devour this guy’s Soul Power," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

However, in the next instant, Xu Ping’an’s expression changed.

Aggression surged wildly through his mind.

Xu Ping’an swiftly looked towards the direction of the distant Teleportation Gate.

Just then, an elder in front of the Teleportation Gate was looking his way, and upon making eye contact, Xu Ping’an immediately felt an unbearable pain in his head.

"Not good, it’s a Ninth Rank Expert," Xu Ping’an’s complexion changed drastically.

The next moment, without a second thought, he grabbed Gu Lingyan and fled at high speed.

"Eh, interesting. He can make eye contact with me without his soul collapsing? Qian Gui, go capture him and bring him back, this kid seems to have secrets on him," the elder said to a man behind him at the Eighth Rank First Layer Realm.

"Yes, Master," the man immediately responded.

The next instant, the Eighth Rank Strongman turned into a beam of light and rushed towards the direction Xu Ping’an had fled.
