Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 548: Making Quite the Stir

""Boom!"

Xu Ping’an punched a Flame Divine Eagle directly, bursting it apart and sending blood splattering.

This was a Flame Divine Eagle with a cultivation of the Ninth Rank Third Layer Realm, its strength at least at the peak of the Ninth Rank Fifth Layer.

Xu Ping’an had to exert a bit of effort to kill it.

"I actually had to use my True Yuan, and it’s only the twelfth level. It seems like the trials of the Divine Flame Hall are indeed tough to breach," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

In the previous battles, he had been relying on his physical strength.

But faced with the Flame Divine Eagle, whose strength could be compared to the peak of the Ninth Rank Fifth Layer, Xu Ping’an found it difficult to kill it instantly.

Eventually, Xu Ping’an didn’t want to waste more time, and finally used his Fire Attribute True Elemental to directly kill the Flame Divine Eagle.

With the Flame Divine Eagle dead, Xu Ping’an smoothly passed the twelfth level.

Outside, the crowd watching the numbers on the stele jump to thirteen displayed shock.

This Wang Tao actually passed the twelfth level?

It seems Wang Tao’s strength is genuinely strong.

Luo Yong’an’s face was also extremely somber.

Indeed, this guy was much stronger than him, having passed the twelfth level so quickly.

Previously, facing the twelfth level’s Flame Divine Eagle, he had no chance to defend himself.

Now seeing Xu Ping’an pass the twelfth level, how could he not be jealous?

Xie Jizong was also astonished.

When did their Fire Divine Palace produce such a genius?

While everyone was surprised, Xu Ping’an had already reached the thirteenth level.

This level, it turned out, was facing a Blazing Basilisk whose strength was around the Ninth Rank Sixth Layer.

The giant serpent hissed, staring fixedly at Xu Ping’an.

"Since I’ve already used True Yuan, let’s not waste time," Xu Ping’an said to himself.

The next moment, he directly activated his Fire Attribute True Yuan and threw a punch.

"Boom!"

The Chaotic Flame surged as a terrifying aura of fire exploded from Xu Ping’an’s fist.

"Puff!"

The giant serpent was blown apart once again, having no chance to retaliate against Xu Ping’an’s overwhelming power.

One must know that Xu Ping’an’s True Yuan had undergone the True Elemental Nine Transformations.

The power of the True Yuan after the Nine Transformations was quite terrifying.

Additionally, with the enhancement of Xu Ping’an’s Chaotic Flame, his punch was too much for the Ninth Rank Sixth Layer Demon Beast.

Following that, the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth levels, Xu Ping’an resolved them all with a single punch.

The Demon Beasts in these levels couldn’t pose a threat to Xu Ping’an at all.

And just like that, Xu Ping’an directly advanced to the twentieth level.

By this point, everyone outside was completely stunned.

"Damn, he reached the twentieth level so quickly? He probably used less than a breath of time for each level."

"Yeah, it looks like he’s resolving these tests with a single move each."

"Incredible, the challenges up to the twentieth level have reached the peak strength of the Ninth Rank Sixth Layer Realm, and this guy resolved them all with a single move, isn’t his strength a bit too much?"

"Peak of the Ninth Rank Sixth Layer Realm, resolved with a single move, then his strength must at least be above the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm."

...

The surrounding people continuously debated, all shocked by the ’Wang Tao’s’ strength.

A Cultivator at the Seventh Rank Peak, instantly killing a Ninth Rank Seventh Layer?

How is that possible?

Luo Yong’an was completely dazed as well.

Although he knew Xu Ping’an’s strength might be strong, he had not anticipated it to be this formidable."

With such strength, how could it be just Seventh Rank Peak?

Xie Jizong was also full of surprise, he hadn’t expected that one of his Fire Divine Palace’s seed disciples would actually be surpassed?

What on earth is going on?

It wasn’t just them feeling astonished; even Li Qingyi was somewhat stunned at the moment.

The power displayed by Xu Ping’an had completely surpassed her expectations.

"Seventh Rank Peak? With combat power above the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm, Junior Brother Ping’an should be even stronger than that Wu Qing," Li Qingyi suddenly thought of something, and a smile emerged on her face.

Indeed, her Junior Brother Ping’an was the most heaven-defying genius.

However, she quickly felt that something was not quite right.

All Seventh Rank Peak?

Could it be too much of a coincidence?

While Li Qingyi was pondering, Xu Ping’an had already drawn his Immortal Sword.

With one slash, it was also Flame True Elemental power, with a blaze that filled the sky.

A Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm strength Flame Phoenix was thus slain by Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an smoothly passed the twenty-fifth level.

For the twenty-first, twenty-second, up to the twenty-fourth levels, Xu Ping’an defeated them all with a single sword strike.

He used Fire Attribute True Elemental power for all of them.

After slaying the demon beast of the twenty-fourth level, a hint of surprise appeared on Xu Ping’an’s face.

"This twenty-fourth level demon beast has combat power comparable to the peak of Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm. Qingyi managed to reach this level; it seems her strength is comparable to the peak of Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm?" Xu Ping’an was a bit astonished.

Qingyi had just broken through to the Ninth Rank First Layer Realm, and yet she possessed such formidable combat power?

The outsiders were extremely surprised to see Xu Ping’an make it to the twenty-fifth level.

This Wang Tao has already surpassed Li Qingyi.

The key is that he is still of Seventh Rank Peak level cultivation.

Even someone as heavenly as Li Qingyi only made it to the twenty-fourth level with Ninth Rank First Layer Realm cultivation.

"How is this possible? This definitely isn’t Wang Tao," Zhao Ling’er said excitedly.

Many people around were looking towards Zhao Ling’er.

Some were nodding in admiration, while others felt that Zhao Ling’er simply couldn’t accept the fact that Wang Tao was so powerful and regretted it in their hearts.

However, Luo Yong’an was already certain at this point that this Wang Tao was an imposter.

Xu Ping’an was unaware of all this, as he was currently attempting the twenty-fifth level.

This time, Xu Ping’an couldn’t kill a Ninth Rank Eighth Layer Realm demon beast instantly with just the superiority of his True Elemental power.

Thus, this time, Xu Ping’an utilized the Sky-breaking Sword Decision along with the Heavenly Sword Manual.

In the end, within three moves, Xu Ping’an killed a Purple Flame Dragon Fox with cultivation at the Ninth Rank Sixth Layer Realm but combat power at the Ninth Rank Eighth Layer Realm.

For the twenty-sixth level, it was still a Divine Beast Bloodline Monster with Ninth Rank Sixth Layer Realm cultivation, but its true form had changed to a Yan Yang Red Serpent; its strength was clearly stronger, approximately at the middling level of Ninth Rank Eighth Layer Realm combat power.

This time, Xu Ping’an used Thunder Attribute True Elemental power to kill it.

On the twenty-seventh level, Xu Ping’an fused Thunder Attribute and Fire Attribute True Elemental powers to claim victory.

By the twenty-eighth level, Xu Ping’an had utilized three types of True Elemental powers.

Only by merging three types of True Elemental powers could he kill a Black Flame Demon Spider with strength comparable to the peak of the Ninth Rank Eighth Layer Realm.

At the twenty-ninth level, the demon beast’s cultivation had reached the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm, and its combat power was comparable to the early stages of the Ninth Rank Ninth Layer Realm.

Xu Ping’an had to resort to four types of Attribute True Elemental powers and, after nearly fifty moves in battle, he finally defeated it.

Of course, Xu Ping’an had not yet exerted the power of the heavens and the earth, but even so, he still felt immense pressure.

There are seven more levels to go; even if he gives it his all, he probably won’t be able to break through, will he?

What he didn’t know was that the outside world was already in complete turmoil at that moment.

The entire Fire Divine Palace had been alerted.

All disciples rushed over, and when they saw Xu Ping’an had reached the thirtieth level, they were all stunned.
