Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 593: The Single-Horned Silver Python

Xu Ping’an sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Zhao Hanxing and his gaze became a few shades more solemn.

Indeed, those ranked in the top fifty of the genius list really do have impressive strength.

If he were to go all out, the outcome of who would win or lose was still uncertain.

Seeing Xu Ping’an and the others arrive, Zhao Hanxing and her sister quickly flew over.

"Did you find the entrance?" Zhao Hanxing asked.

"No, I’ve nearly searched the entire western area and still haven’t found the spatial entrance," Li Xuanqing shook his head and said.

"We haven’t found it either, it’s probably not on our side," Zhao Hanxing frowned and said.

Aside, Zhao Hanyue glanced at Xu Ping’an and furrowed her brows slightly, then pondered and asked, "Yan Wu, are you really sure you saw that Xu Ping’an?"

"Yes, I saw him. He killed Song Lingyue, Shao Tianyu, and Yu Xuanshan, I witnessed it with my own eyes," Xu Ping’an glanced at Zhao Hanyue and replied.

However, in his heart, he secretly shook his head; this woman was still looking for him.

It seemed her hatred for him was not light.

Moreover, her hatred was justified; Zhao Hanyue had been stomped to death by him at the Heavenly Star Ancient Palace.

Now that she was able to resurrect, it was mostly due to the methods of Hanyue Heaven.

"Hmph, Xu Ping’an, this demon, if I find him, I will tear his body into ten thousand pieces," Zhao Hanyue gritted her teeth.

"Hanyue, don’t be careless. Although I haven’t seen this person, from the information gathered, his strength is at least above the intermediate stage of a Demi Immortal. You must not engage him if you encounter him," Zhao Hanxing urgently warned.

"Yes, his strength is very formidable," Yan Wu chimed in hastily.

"No matter how strong, I have to kill him! He crushed me to death at the Heavenly Star Ancient Palace. If I didn’t have the protective talisman, the Soul Jade Butterfly, to shield my soul in time, and if father hadn’t spent a great price to rebuild my physical body, I might have completely died. How can I rest without avenging this grudge?" Zhao Hanyue’s fists were clenched tightly, and her eyes flickered with endless murderous intent.

Xu Ping’an understood upon hearing this.

It turned out that back then the treasure had protected her soul, and then the people of Hanyue Heaven took her back to reconstruct her body so she could survive.

Yet, in his heart, he silently shook his head; this Zhao Hanyue really didn’t know how to cherish her life.

She had already been killed by him once, and now she still didn’t know how to treasure her existence.

With Zhao Hanyue’s current cultivation, he could easily kill her in seconds.

"Hanyue, don’t get agitated. If we really encounter that guy, I’ll take revenge for you," Zhao Hanxing hurriedly said.

She also harbored resentment toward Xu Ping’an.

Having her younger sister’s body beheaded, she wanted to properly teach that guy a lesson for her sister.

"Yes, Xu Ping’an indeed deserves to die," Xue Hu on the side added with a grin on his face.

Xu Ping’an glanced at Xue Hu.

This guy, daring to speak out just to please Zhao Hanxing.

He just didn’t know if this guy would still dare to say these words if he revealed his true identity.

"Actually, Brother Xu’s nature isn’t bad. Everything he did was forced by circumstances. The conflict between you and him was all because of the Crown Prince of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty. Now that person is dead, there’s no need for you to dwell on it," Li Xuanqing then spoke up for Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an felt warmth in his heart upon hearing this.

Indeed, Li Xuanqing still considered him as a brother.

"Hmph, Li Xuanqing, I know you have connections with Xu Ping’an, but this matter must not be let go," Zhao Hanyue responded coldly.

"Let’s focus on finding the spatial door instead," Xu Ping’an didn’t want to linger on this topic.

Zhao Hanyue’s hatred for him was not so easily dissolved.

If she truly sought an unending vendetta, he wouldn’t mind letting her die a second time.

Zhao Hanxing was the same; she definitely would not soften her heart simply because she was a beautiful woman.

"Boom!"

Just then, a violent booming sound suddenly came from the distance.

This booming was incredibly loud and almost spread across the entire Hidden Dragon Mountain.

Xu Ping’an and the others immediately looked toward the direction of the sound.

"The sound is coming from the east; could it be that the entrance has been found?" Qin Yu spoke up.

"Let’s go and take a look," Xue Hu immediately said, eager to try.

Zhao Hanxing and Zhao Hanyue also nodded repeatedly, and then they all swept toward the east.

Naturally, Xu Ping’an followed as well.

He also wanted to see if the entrance had been found.

Soon, they arrived in the eastern area.

The scene that met their eyes was somewhat shocking.

They saw that the waist of a giant mountain in front of them had been blasted open, creating a huge hole.

The hole was unfathomably deep, with hints of spatial fluctuations within.

However, at this moment, entwined at the entrance of this massive hole was an enormous python measuring a kilometer in length.

The python was incredibly huge, its scale armor emitting a silvery metallic luster, giving off an impression of invincibility.

A single, exceedingly sharp horn grew on its forehead.

"A single-horned silver python? Yes, this is the place; this cave is the entrance to the space," someone exclaimed in amazement.

Figures constantly swept over from all around.

Everyone looked towards the hole behind the silver python with a look of surprise on their faces.

Xu Ping’an also hastily used his space-vision ability to look towards the cave.

Indeed, deep within the cave, there truly was a spatial gateway.

Xu Ping’an then turned his gaze back to the silver python.

"This silver python is no ordinary creature; it has probably reached the cultivation level of a Tenth Rank Peak," Xu Ping’an sensed the aura of the giant python in front of him and spoke.

"Indeed, it is Tenth Rank Peak, very strong. It must be the guardian beast that watches over this minor world," Zhao Hanxing also spoke with a sharp look in her eyes.

"Tenth Rank? Then it should be able to transform into human form," Qin Yu said, surprised.

"Yes, Tenth Rank demon beasts can indeed transform, and if it is the guardian beast of this place, then it won’t be so easy for us to enter the minor world," Li Xuanqing spoke.

Similar discussions were also happening elsewhere.

All eyes on the single-horned silver python bore a hint of solemnity.

"Roar!"

Just at that moment, the single-horned silver python let out a terrifying roar.

The next second, it shockingly spoke in human language, "Humans, leave. This is not a place you can set foot in; should you refuse to leave, don’t blame me for being rude."

The sound was deafening.

Everyone felt a strong sense of threat.

At this moment, everyone understood that this giant python was the guardian demon beast of this place.

If they wanted to enter the minor world, they would have to slay this python first.
