Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 360: You Will Regret Provoking Me

Seeing his spear blocked by a mere flick of Yu Qianzong’s finger, Xu Ping’an knew how futile his attack was in the face of Yu Qianzong.

Eighth Rank Strongmen are too powerful.

This strength of Yu Qianzong is too formidable.

The gap between his combat power and Yu Qianzong’s was simply too vast.

Even with the fusion of his two types of Five Transformations True Yuan, plus the enhancement of his Physical Strength and the Power of Giant Character Dao Principle.

In the face of Yu Qianzong’s move with the Power of Three Hundred and Sixty Dragons, he seemed far too insignificant.

Yu Qianzong was right; he was indeed just like an egg smashing against a rock.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Xu Ping’an still felt somewhat disheartened.

However, Xu Ping’an quickly pulled himself together.

He had never intended for that move to harm Yu Qianzong in the first place.

"Clang!"

Yu Qianzong flicked his finger.

The spear immediately shot back at an even more terrifying speed.

In terms of both speed and power, it far exceeded Xu Ping’an’s strength.

"Buzz!"

Xu Ping’an’s expression changed, and he instantly summoned the Immortal Artifact Shield from Xiu Ya’s storage ring.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar shook the heavens.

The spear collided with the shield.

The terrifying force, akin to a bombardment, sent Xu Ping’an flying backwards in an instant.

His entire body slammed directly into the spatial membrane.

"Crack!"

The Spatial Barrier directly shattered.

"Pfft!"

Xu Ping’an spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Xu Ping’an felt his arms go numb with intense pain, his internal organs were completely displaced, and some were even ruptured.

Even his ribs had broken in three places.

The intense pain made Xu Ping’an’s scalp tingle.

It had been a long time since he was injured to such an extent by someone else.

Eighth Rank Strongmen were indeed terrifying.

That flick just now probably only exhibited about ten percent of his True Yuan.

That would be less than the Power of One Hundred Dragons.

And yet, Xu Ping’an still couldn’t withstand it.

"I’m still too weak. After this battle, I need to break through to Seventh Rank as soon as possible, strengthen my Niwan Palace, and then think about the rest," Xu Ping’an said to himself.

He has now realized his shortcomings. He could slaughter Seventh Rankers as if they were dogs by relying on his own Physical Strength and the Power of Dao Principles.

But facing an Eighth Rank Strongman, he was no match.

In fact, it was because he had not yet encountered a true genius. Some geniuses from the very large forces could exert far beyond their own combat power even at Seventh Rank.

Such geniuses, Xu Ping’an feared he would not be able to handle.

Therefore, Xu Ping’an planned to take this opportunity at the Heavenly Star Palace to quickly break through to Seventh Rank.

Only then could he obtain even greater opportunities.

However, right now, the most important thing was how to face the current crisis.

With that in mind, Xu Ping’an’s eyes became even more sharp and piercing.

He needed a chance, an opportunity to either kill or severely injure his opponent.

The Heavenly Spirit Pill he had taken earlier was continuously taking effect, repairing the damage to his internal organs.

The broken ribs were also reconnecting.

The expended True Yuan and physical strength were also steadily recovering.

"Kid, do you really think you can hurt me? You’re way too delusional. Everything from Xiu Ya is on you. If I’m not wrong, it was you who killed Xiu Ya," Yu Qianzong’s figure was ice-cold.

He walked through the void, each step causing the emptiness to tremble.

"I was the one who killed him. What of it? It was your Demon Cloud Sect who wanted to kill me first. I was only fighting back," Xu Ping’an said.

From the beginning when the Seventh Rank disciples of Demon Cloud Heaven tried to kill him, to the later encounter with Qian Gui.

It was Demon Cloud Heaven who made the first move.

Only afterwards did he seek ways to retaliate against the two powers.

"What does it matter if my Demon Cloud Heaven killed you? You, as a Loose Cultivator, resist; you deserve to die," Yu Qianzong said arrogantly.

In this moment, as a member of Heaven Beyond Heavens, he looked upon the beings of Mortal Realm as mere ants.

They from Heaven Beyond Heavens originally came from the Immortal Realm, inhabitants of the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Whether it was bloodline or status, they couldn’t be compared to these mortals.

"Then what if I kill the people of your Demon Cloud Sect?" Xu Ping’an replied coldly.

He didn’t understand where the arrogance of Demon Cloud Heaven came from.

So what about Heaven Beyond Heavens?

What about the Primordial Immortal Realm?

Even Immortals originally came from the Human Race.

This point, whether it was the former Xu Ping’an or the current Xu Ping’an, had always been believed.

Even the legendary gods were said to have originated from humans.

"Coward, you killed Xiu Ya and deserve to die. It seems you have secrets on you, but no matter, once I kill you and take your head back, I’ll still be able to restore your memories using the Xuantian Mirror," Yu Qianzong sneered.

The next moment, his figure flashed and he appeared directly in front of Xu Ping’an.

He lifted his hand to slap toward Xu Ping’an’s heart.

Before achieving the Emperor’s Body, the heart was always one of a person’s greatest vulnerabilities.

Once the heart was shattered, Xu Ping’an would have no chance of survival.

Yet, seeing this scene, Xu Ping’an’s eyes sparkled.

Opportunity had arrived!

"You shouldn’t have opposed me," Xu Ping’an snorted coldly.

The next moment, a light instantly flew out from Xu Ping’an’s Niwan Palace.

It was a character, a giant character.

The giant character flew out and instantly entered Yu Qianzong’s forehead.

"Not good, this is..." Yu Qianzong was shocked and attempted to defend himself.

However, Xu Ping’an sneered and shouted loudly, "Explode!"

"Boom!"

A terrifying power of the Giant Character Dao Principle exploded instantly within Yu Qianzong’s Niwan Palace.

"No!"

Yu Qianzong was aghast and hurried to stabilize his Niwan Palace.

But Yu Qianzong still underestimated the power of the Dao Principle.

The frightful power of the Dao Principle swept through Yu Qianzong’s Niwan Palace, directly shattering it.

Even Yu Qianzong’s soul origin suffered a heavy hit and almost burst.

Of course, Xu Ping’an was also hit in the chest by the other party’s punch.

Fortunately, Xu Ping’an had managed to shift his body a few inches at the last moment.

At the same time, he used all his True Yuan to protect his heart.

"Spurt!"

Blood spurted wildly; other than his heart, his other internal organs turned into mush.

He broke twelve ribs in an instant.

His entire chest caved in; his body was nearly fatally injured.

This punch nearly cost Xu Ping’an his life.

Had it not been for the Heavenly Spirit Pill he had taken earlier, which was now desperately keeping him alive,

Xu Ping’an would already be dead or passed out.

Without hesitation, Xu Ping’an immediately took out a Ninth Rank Low Grade Healing Holy Pill, a Creation Pill, and a Superior Grade Eighth Rank Healing Elixir from Xiu Ya’s storage ring, and tossed them into his mouth.

The elixirs were taken and rapidly repaired Xu Ping’an’s organs.

However, Xu Ping’an’s injuries were too severe, and even the Ninth Rank Healing Pills would struggle to heal him quickly.

On the other side, Yu Qianzong also resisted the Dao Principle’s power.

But his soul origin and Niwan Palace were severely damaged.

At this moment, with blood flowing from his seven orifices, his eyes blazed with intense murderous intent.

"You actually detonated a Dao Principle Fragment, a rare treasure of heaven and earth; you dared to explode it?" Yu Qianzong stared dead at Xu Ping’an, his crimson eyes filled with boundless killing intent.

Such a Dao Principle Fragment could have propelled him into the Tenth Rank, making him a top-tier strongman, a Heavenly Master.

Yet Xu Ping’an had detonated it, how could that not enrage him?

It was a precious treasure.

Xu Ping’an merely chuckled, "Yes, I exploded it, and I’m not giving it to you."

"You’re seeking death. This time I will crush you to dust," Yu Qianzong’s killing intent surged.

The next moment, he was about to make another move.

"You won’t get the chance," Xu Ping’an said with a light laugh.

Yu Qianzong was stunned and suddenly looked down at his feet.

Only to find a translucent, crystal-clear bead underfoot.

"Mysterious... Mysterious Ice Soul Bead... No..." Yu Qianzong turned pale with fright.

Xu Ping’an sneered.

He detonated it, then without looking back, broke through the already shattered Spatial Barrier and passed through in an instant.

Just as he passed through, the place where Yu Qianzong stood instantly turned into a huge block of ice; everything was frozen.

Xu Ping’an, however, was shielded by the Spatial Barrier and was not frozen, thus narrowly escaping disaster.
