Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 577: Wu Han’s Combat Power

The surrounding scene shifted suddenly.

Xu Ping’an appeared in the midst of a vast wasteland.

Yet, on the wasteland, two silhouettes stood erect.

One appeared to be a youth in his early twenties, while the other was an elderly man.

Indeed, the young man in his twenties was none other than Wu Han.

At the moment, Wu Han’s cultivation was just at the beginning of the Immortal Level.

The elder in front of him, however, had already reached the Peak of the Ninth Layer Realm of the Immortals.

"Quite a gap in cultivation realms," Xu Ping’an murmured to himself.

He was very curious to see who would prevail in a battle between Wu Han and a cultivator at the Peak of the Ninth Layer Realm of Immortals.

Without any further ado, the elder made his move.

A tremendously powerful Power of Dao Principles burst forth from the body of the elder, the formidable force pressing down on the space, creating a terrifying momentum.

"This is the pressure of a Ninth Layer in the Dao Principle Realm," Xu Ping’an thought with surprise.

The elder in front of him was quite strong, and the Power of Dao Principles he controlled was potent.

It seemed to be a Frenzied Battle Dao Principle.

The Frenzied Battle Dao Principle mainly amplified one’s own Combat Power. This Power of Dao Principles was not exceptionally strong, but still not weak, roughly categorized as a Fourth Grade Dao Principle.

At this moment, the elder’s enhancement of his Combat Power has reached a ninefold increase.

Such an enhancement was undoubtedly extremely powerful.

His fist struck down, the earth shook, and the momentum was incredibly terrifying.

However, facing the elder’s attack, Wu Han did not attempt to dodge in the least.

He too unleashed a punch, one that was even more domineering than the elder’s attack.

"Boom!"

With the release of his punch, the elder’s arm exploded instantly, flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Xu Ping’an’s face was a picture of astonishment.

How did he manage that?

To him, Wu Han’s True Elemental Power didn’t seem all that daunting, presumably equivalent to about a Tenth Rank Fifth Layer Realm.

As for physical strength, Wu Han had never cultivated it.

Yet the power of that punch was unexpectedly formidable,

so much so that even the elder, amplified nine times at the Tenth Rank Peak, was no match.

"How did he do it?" Xu Ping’an was puzzled.

Just then, Wu Han attacked once more.

Again with a punch, the elder seemed to want to dodge this time.

But he found that he couldn’t dodge at all, as if his world had been reduced to nothing but that fist.

The power concentrated in that fist appeared even more overpowering than the previous one.

"Boom!"

A punch came down, the elder unable to resist, and finally, Wu Han’s punch blasted his physical body apart, resulting in instantaneous death.

Two punches?

At the Tenth Rank Peak level, he managed to crush a Tenth Rank Peak Cultivator with only two punches.

Moreover, throughout, Wu Han seemed not to have used his full strength.

In fact, Wu Han needed only one punch to kill the Tenth Rank Peak cultivator instantly.

His fist seemed to contain a powerful Power of Time and Space.

But why could the Power of Time and Space increase the strength of a punch?

"Buzz!"

As the heavens and earth shifted and the stars moved, Xu Ping’an returned to the grand hall.

"How was it, what do you feel, any insights?" Wu Han asked with a smile as he looked towards Xu Ping’an.

"I can’t make sense of it," Xu Ping’an admitted frankly.

"It’s normal to not understand. Go back, reflect on it at your leisure. I won’t give you any hints. Whether you can grasp the Dao Principle pattern in my fists depends on your own comprehension," Wu Han said with a smile.

Xu Ping’an didn’t reply, but he committed the details of those two punches to memory.

Indeed, there were profound Dao Principle patterns hidden within those punches, and they were not something he could grasp instantly.

If he could master them, his combat power was sure to greatly increase.

"Alright, this is an extra opportunity I’m giving you. You also have the inheritance images from the Inheritance Mirror to watch. Tell me what kind of image you want to see, and I can help you choose," Wu Han said with a smile.

"I can choose?" Xu Ping’an asked in surprise.

"Others certainly can’t choose, but you have a Space-Time Rune and fragments of the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror, so naturally you can. There are a total of three hundred and twelve images in this Inheritance Mirror, of which one hundred and fifty are battle images, similar to the one you just witnessed. Another one hundred and fifty are about the creation of Combat Techniques, none of which are much use to you," Wu Han explained.

Xu Ping’an nodded.

Indeed, those were not very useful to him.

He didn’t lack battle experience, and he wasn’t interested in the Dao Principles of others. There was only one image concerning space-time Dao Principles, which he had already watched.

As for Combat Techniques, he needed them even less.

In the later stages, he could completely create Combat Techniques that belonged to himself.

"So what about the remaining twelve?" Xu Ping’an continued to inquire.

"The remaining twelve are about the secrets of this world. Six of them involve Ancient Sects, four involve secrets of the Immortal Realm, one is related to the Heavenly Star Palace, and one to the Reincarnation God Ruins," Wu Han continued.

"The Heavenly Star Palace?" Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised.

He was aware of the images from the Reincarnation God Ruins but the Heavenly Star Palace was beyond his expectations.

"Yes, it contains images from above the seventh floor of the Heavenly Star Palace, but I don’t recommend that you view it," Wu Han said.

"Why?" Xu Ping’an asked, baffled.

"Because the content within that image could affect the essence of your soul. Your Soul origin simply can’t withstand it," Wu Han responded.

Xu Ping’an was somewhat taken aback.

What secret could it be that even the image was unbearable to him?

But he knew Wu Han wouldn’t deceive him. So he made his choice, "I’ll opt for the Reincarnation God Ruins."

Viewing the images from the Reincarnation God Ruins was also one of his objectives for coming here.

Given this chance, he naturally couldn’t miss it.

Moreover, he was indeed planning to venture to the Reincarnation God Ruins next.

Although he already possessed a map of the Reincarnation God Ruins, he was not very clear on many of its secrets.

"Since you’ve made your choice, let it be that one. This image is indeed the wisest choice for you. If you go to the Reincarnation God Ruins, it will be of great help," Wu Han said with a smile.

Xu Ping’an nodded.

Big help or not, he wouldn’t know until he watched.

Seeing Xu Ping’an’s skepticism, Wu Han said no more, began to activate the Space-Time Rune and the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror.

The next moment, the Space-Time Rune actually fused with the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror.

Then a Power of Space and Time fanned out, and the space where Xu Ping’an was changed once again.

This time, he seemed to have entered into a mysterious Ancient Palace.
