Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 600: Battle against Xia Wu

"Xu Ping’an?" Xia Wu looked at the restored true face of Xu Ping’an with surprise in his eyes, radiating disbelief.

He naturally knew the identity of Xu Ping’an, but he had not expected Xu Ping’an to appear here.

After all, everyone here was out to kill Xu Ping’an. His appearance was tantamount to seeking death.

"Are you very surprised?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.

"I just didn’t think you’d be bold enough to show up here. I wondered why Yan Wu came alone, but it turns out you were impersonating him," Xia Wu said with a cold snort.

Though he was surprised, he did not panic in the slightest.

In his view, even if Xu Ping’an possessed demi-immortal level combat power, he still wouldn’t be a match for him.

The combat power Xu Ping’an had previously shown was impressive but only of a demi-immortal at the intermediate stage.

And he had some life-saving measures. Today, the only one to die would be this Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an smiled and turned to Tang Qingyu and Song Xue, who were by his side, and asked, "Are you both alright?"

Both shook their heads.

"It’s fine, Xu Ping’an, is it really you?" Tang Qingyu asked incredulously.

"Of course it’s me, who else did you think it was?" Xu Ping’an responded with a laugh.

Tang Qingyu was overwhelmed with joy, and her gaze towards Xu Ping’an softened greatly.

"You guys rest on the side; I’ll deal with him," Xu Ping’an said, without elaborating further and instead continued to look at Xia Wu.

"Xu Ping’an, be careful, this guy is very strong. He has reached the peak of the demi-immortal late stage, and the disciples of Tianlong Hall must have means to protect their lives," Song Xue warned.

"Don’t worry, I can handle it," Xu Ping’an replied.

Hearing this, Tang Qingyu and Song Xue were still worried but did not know what to say, so they silently retreated to one side, watching anxiously.

"You think you can kill me? Xu Ping’an, today will be your day of death. By killing you, I can get quite a few rewards. I never expected the heavens to be so kind to me," Xia Wu said proudly.

His look towards Xu Ping’an became extraordinarily greedy.

In his eyes, Xu Ping’an was like a fat sheep ready for slaughter.

By killing Xu Ping’an, not only would he gain the treasures on Xu Ping’an’s body, but Demon Cloud Heaven and the Defying Heaven Alliance also had incredibly hefty bounties.

This was like a pie falling from the sky.

"Actually, I’m also very interested in you. I’ve heard that you have Immortal Emperor Seals? Is that true?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.

"Immortal Emperor Seals? You came to me for these?" Xia Wu realized.

So this guy’s appearance here was not by chance, but he had been targeting him all along.

This guy wanted the Immortal Emperor Seals, was he also trying to collect them?

"I do have Immortal Emperor Seals, three of them, in fact. Why, do you want them?" Xia Wu boasted.

"Three Immortal Emperor Seals?" Xu Ping’an was immediately delighted.

This was an unexpected windfall.

He had originally thought that Xia Wu only possessed one Immortal Emperor Seal, but now there were actually three.

He already had eight Immortal Emperor Seals and one Immortal Emperor Seal on him.

With these three, that made eleven Immortal Emperor Seals.

At this thought, Xu Ping’an’s heart surged with excitement.

With these Immortal Emperor Seals and the Immortal Emperor Seal, his soul cultivation should be able to break through to the ninth rank.

Currently, the Xue Hu had given him two Immortal Emperor Seals and one Immortal Emperor Seal, which he had already fused with the Immortal Emperor Seals, but he had not yet integrated the Immortal Emperor Seal.

However, just by merging with the two Immortal Emperor Seals, his soul cultivation had already reached the peak of the Eighth Layer Realm.

Once he obtained these three Immortal Emperor Seals, he might be able to use them, along with the Immortal Emperor Seal, to break through the Heavenly Gate and step into the Ninth Rank Realm.

At that time, his combat power would also be greatly enhanced.

But for now, the task at hand was to kill Xia Wu and take the Immortal Emperor Seals from his grasp.

"Want my Immortal Emperor Seals? You’d have to be alive to take them," Xia Wu sneered.

He then charged at Xu Ping’an.

He was very fast, closing the distance to Xu Ping’an in the blink of an eye.

With a punch aimed at Xu Ping’an, his fist contained an unfathomably terrifying power.

His body erupted with unmatched presence, fueled by the powerful surges of Immortal Elemental energy.

"Boom!"

Xu Ping’an didn’t hesitate to throw a punch either.

The collision of their fists set off a terrifying roaring sound.

Xia Wu and Xu Ping’an both retreated.

"How is this possible, you actually managed to block my punch?" Xia Wu was somewhat surprised.

He clearly hadn’t expected Xu Ping’an to be able to block his punch.

The cultivation technique he practiced was the extremely powerful Emperor Dragon Technique from Tianlong Hall.

By cultivating this technique, one could possess a peerless physical body.

With a single punch, let alone a semi-immortal in the intermediate stage, even regular semi-immortals at the latter stage would find it hard to withstand.

Yet Xu Ping’an was able to block his punch, and it seemed as though he didn’t even fall short.

Xu Ping’an was also a bit astonished at this moment; Xia Wu’s physical body also seemed to be not weak.

To actually be able to stand toe-to-toe with him in physical strength.

It should be known that his own physical strength had already reached a terrifying level.

"Again." Xia Wu let out a reluctant roar and then once again charged at Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an’s eyes also surged with a strong desire to fight.

He charged at Xia Wu as well.

Both men were going head-to-head with their physical bodies, their fearsome attacks continuously exploding in the sky.

"So powerful, these two are like humanoid ferocious beasts," Xue Hu, hiding to one side, saw this scene and exuded a look of amazement.

The combat power unleashed by Xu Ping’an and Xia Wu was truly chilling.

Song Xue and Tang Qing Yu were also watching, dumbstruck.

Just how strong were these two men?

With such attacks, if it were them, they wouldn’t even be able to block a single punch.

"Boom!"

The two once again exchanged punches, erupting with a deafening sound.

Eventually, both men retreated nearly ninety feet.

Xia Wu’s expression turned extremely grave; the combat power displayed by Xu Ping’an was no less than his own.

How could this guy’s growth be so fast?

After all, the last report he received was that Xu Ping’an had just entered the semi-immortal level.

How did he improve so much all of a sudden?

Xu Ping’an was also feeling the pressure at this moment.

Xia Wu’s combat power was indeed strong, edging infinitely close to the peak of the semi-immortal level.

"Xu Ping’an, I didn’t expect you to be so powerful. However, if that’s all you’re capable of, today you will still die," Xia Wu stepped forward and a terrifying aura erupted from him.

The next moment, a golden giant dragon appeared on his body.

The dragon coiled around him, multiplying his combat power a few times in an instant.

He stepped straight into the peak level of a semi-immortal.

"This is the secret technique of Tianlong Hall, the Great Golden Dragon Technique. It is said that this technique can increase a cultivator’s combat power by ten times in a short period," Song Xue said solemnly.

"Increase by ten times? Isn’t Xu Ping’an in danger now?" Tang Qing Yu immediately expressed her concern.

Song Xue nodded, her gaze towards Xu Ping’an also turning serious.

"A secret technique that increases strength, it’s indeed a good technique," Xu Ping’an didn’t care, instead he was interested in the secret technique Xia Wu used.

"You want my secret technique? Xu Ping’an, you have no chance," Xia Wu scoffed as he noticed Xu Ping’an’s intent.

"Whether I have a chance or not, you’ll know in a moment. Let’s fight, let me see just how strong your secret technique really is," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"You’re seeking death, Dragon King Fist!" Xia Wu shouted and immediately attacked Xu Ping’an.

This time his speed was even faster than before.

And the power in his fist was even more terrifying.
