Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 612: Settling Old Scores

Xu Ping’an soared through the sky, feeling much lighter than before.

The explosive strength in his body made the density of his flesh incredibly massive.

Logically, his weight should now be more than ten times what it had been, but he felt as light as a feather.

Moreover, with a casual grasp, he could burst the very void.

This powerful sensation filled him with an incomparable sense of exhilaration.

"They should all be waiting there for me," Xu Ping’an chuckled lightly, "With the Holy Sword in my hands, they can’t activate the formation and can only watch helplessly."

With a step on the void, space shattered, and Xu Ping’an shot forward like an arrow released from its bowstring.

The mountains and trees beside him rapidly receded.

Even without the Azure Divine Feather, his speed had now surpassed the speed of sound.

Soon, Xu Ping’an arrived in front of the altar.

And his arrival had drawn the attention of many.

Just as Xu Ping’an had guessed, people from Heaven Beyond Heavens, Fire Divine Palace, Tianlong Hall, the Imperial Academy, and various other powers were all gathered here.

Naturally, leading them were geniuses like Zhao Hanxing, Lan Jing, and Yu Wenbai.

Li Xuanqing, Qin Yu, and Xue Hu, among others, were also present.

Seeing Xu Ping’an appear, everyone showed a look of surprise.

Because at this moment, Xu Ping’an had not altered his appearance, but presented himself in his original state.

"Xu Ping’an, I’m going to kill you."

The moment she saw Xu Ping’an, Zhao Hanyue immediately burst forth with intense killing intent.

Then she thrust her sword at Xu Ping’an, unleashing power that was quite formidable at the Ninth Rank Peak level.

However, to the Xu Ping’an of today, such an attack could no longer cause him any harm.

With a thought, a surge of Soul Power emerged.

It instantly formed an invisible large hand that grasped Zhao Hanyue’s Immortal Sword.

"Huh?" Zhao Hanyue was stunned, finding that her sword seemed to be pinned down by two massive mountains, completely immovable.

Yet, throughout this, Xu Ping’an didn’t even spare her a glance.

"You are no match for me. Do not entangle yourself, or else, if I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time," Xu Ping’an said coldly.

With a wave of his hand, a burst of Soul Power exploded, immediately sending Zhao Hanyue flying away.

Zhao Hanxing immediately swooped in to catch Zhao Hanyue.

Then her dazzling starry eyes fixed on Xu Ping’an, her gaze filled with an intense chill.

Xu Ping’an stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the many geniuses before him as well as the elders of various powers hidden in the void.

He wasn’t the slightest bit flustered, and even in the face of so many powerful figures, he had no fear.

Nowadays, there was no one present who could make him feel apprehensive.

Even Lan Jing, ranked thirty-ninth in strength, was no exception.

"Xu Ping’an, you actually dare to show yourself?" Yu Wenbai asked coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Why shouldn’t I appear? Weren’t you all just waiting for me?" Xu Ping’an said with a slight smile.

With a thought, the Holy Sword floated in front of him.

"The Holy Sword? Was it you who killed Takeda and the others?" Yu Wenbai immediately asked.

The others all showed surprised expressions, looking incredulously at Xu Ping’an.

They had all been aware of the deaths of Takeda, Xia Wu, and the others, but did not know who the killer was.

They were waiting here for the killer to reveal themselves.

After all, whoever had taken the Holy Sword would definitely appear here.

Now that the Holy Sword was in Xu Ping’an’s hands, it meant that Xu Ping’an was the killer.

"Daring to kill a core disciple of the Tianlong Hall, seeking death," an elder of the Tenth Rank Fifth Layer Realm bellowed furiously as he suddenly burst from the shadows, charging straight for Xu Ping’an.

His speed was incredibly fast, and his decisiveness in killing was absolute.

From the outset, he employed his killing move, the Dragon King Fist.

At this moment, the Dragon King Fist unleashed, and its power reached an astonishing peak.

Its might was directly comparable to the combat power of a Demi Immortal at the peak level.

"You think you can kill me?" Ping’an flicked his finger.

The Holy Sword instantly transformed into a streak of light.

This streak of light was extremely fast, leaving absolutely no time for the opponent to react.

Spurt!

The Holy Sword pierced through the elder’s forehead, dyeing the sky with blood, killing him instantly.

Throughout the entire process, Ping’an stood in place, not moving even half a step.

Having opened the Heavenly Gate, his Soul Power alone was already comparable to the limit of a Demi Immortal.

In the end, the elder was overly confident and did not utilize the Power of Dao Principles, ultimately being killed by Ping’an.

"What?"

Everyone who witnessed the scene had their pupils constrict.

Just with Soul Power, he killed an elder of the Tenth Rank Fifth Layer Realm?

Within the ranks of those at the peak of Demi Immortal, there were not many who could withstand that strike.

"It’s the Yao Light from the Holy Sword Decision; this guy has cultivated the Holy Sword Decision, and his Soul Power is extremely strong, quickly approaching the level of Immortals in the First Layer Realm of Dao Principles," Lan Jing stated indifferently, her eyes also showing a trace of surprise.

"The limit of a Demi Immortal? Without utilizing Dao Principles, this Soul Power can indeed be said to be invincible among Demi Immortals," Xue Dong also spoke, his eyes filled with a touch of eagerness for battle.

Yu Wenbai, on the other hand, clenched his fists, his eyes burning with a strong killing intent.

Has Ping’an grown this quickly?

The limit of a Demi Immortal?

He might be catching up with him soon.

Thinking this, Yu Wenbai’s murderous intent grew even denser.

Zhao Hanxing was also extremely astonished at this moment.

The strength that Ping’an had displayed was by no means weak.

"Sister, help me kill him," Zhao Hanyue said unwillingly.

"Don’t be rash. If he wanted to kill you, you’d already be dead. Xu Ping’an is no simple character; we can’t act recklessly," Zhao Hanxing advised.

Zhao Hanyue was shocked and quickly said, "Sister, are you not his match either?"

"That’s not necessarily the case. His strength is still inferior to mine, it’s just that it might not be my turn to act," Zhao Hanyue spoke.

Xu Ping’an had offended many people; many forces from the Heaven Beyond Heavens wanted to kill him.

In comparison, their enmity from Hanyue Heaven with Xu Ping’an was relatively minor.

Instead, it was better to wait and see how things unfold.

"Xu Ping’an, you act recklessly and kill the innocent. Today, I shall act on heaven’s behalf and execute you right here."

Just then, Yu Wenbai could no longer hold back and stepped forward.

"You can’t hold back any longer?" Xu Ping’an chuckled softly.

Looking at Yu Wenbai, his eyes carried a hint of mockery.

He had been watching Yu Wenbai all along, curious to see how long he could endure.

Now it seemed that the strength he’d displayed had already made Yu Wenbai feel threatened, and so he could no longer contain himself.

Good, it was time to settle everything.
