Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 618: Unexpected Person

As the Dragon Soul continued to integrate, Ping’an’s Soul Breath also became more powerful.

Not only that, but within his soul, there was also a hint of the Dragon Race’s breath.

Before long, this Ninth Rank Peak Level Dragon Soul was completely absorbed by Ping’an’s Soul origin.

"Now, as long as I invade the body of the dragon corpse and take over its Monster Core, I should succeed," Ping’an murmured to himself.

With this thought in mind, his consciousness returned to his physical body, and he looked up at the dragon corpse still battling in the sky.

He needed to make contact with the dragon corpse to proceed, as this was the only way his Soul Entity infiltration would go undetected.

At that moment, the elders of those powers had also made their move, a full seven Tenth Rank Experts.

However, they did not use the Power of Dao Principles but were fighting with their own Immortal Elemental energy.

Clearly, these old folks were all holding back.

As such, subduing the dragon corpse was still a difficult task.

"I’ll assist you," Ping’an bellowed loudly.

Immediately, his figure dashed forward, charging towards the dragon corpse.

The onlookers around him were surprised to hear this.

Some appeared solemn, others perplexed.

Obviously, in their eyes, Ping’an’s intervention might not be a good thing.

But none of them stopped him, instead quietly observing the developments.

Ping’an charged directly at the dragon corpse, his power erupting, throwing a punch.

The Dragon King Fist burst forth with ultimate force.

"Boom!"

Ping’an’s punch landed on the dragon’s Scale Armor.

The power was earth-shattering.

However, the defense of the dragon corpse’s Scale Armor was somewhat beyond his expectations.

His punch failed to shatter the scales.

"What monstrous defense, this is a Tenth Rank Peak True Dragon, its own Scale Armor is harder than a Superior Grade Immortal Artifact," Ping’an thought to himself in astonishment.

"Roar!"

The True Dragon, feeling Ping’an’s power, let out a roar.

A Dragon Claw was swiftly swiped at Ping’an.

Ping’an immediately burst forth with all his might, bringing out the Immortal Weapon Knuckle Duster to strike another punch.

"Boom!"

Yet, the power coming from the Dragon Claw was even more terrifying than Ping’an had imagined.

"Puh!"

Ping’an spit out blood, his figure rapidly flying backwards.

Watching this scene, many showed expressions of mockery.

This fellow was overestimating his abilities.

To think he could take on a True Dragon in a direct confrontation, it was simply courting death.

Don’t they know that True Dragons are among the most terrifying creatures in the world?

Their physical bodies are unrivaled.

A single True Dragon could thrash ten champions of the same level from the Human Race.

Seeing Ping’an suffer a setback, Lan Jing also let out a small sigh of relief.

The only one, Zhao Hanxing, furrowed his brows slightly, as if having a bad premonition.

Ping’an flew backward a full hundred meters before stabilizing his figure.

Qi-Blood within his body was still churning uncomfortably.

"Such formidable strength, I now have roughly two hundred True Dragon Power when I unleash the power of my physical body along with the Indestructible Force, but the power the dragon corpse released is at least five hundred True Dragon, more than double mine," Ping’an murmured to himself in surprise.

If this True Dragon were still alive, that single strike just now would have been enough to kill him.

The might of a single Dragon Claw, a minimum of one thousand True Dragon.

With this in mind, Ping’an’s scalp tingled.

Fortunately, at the very moment he made his strike, he had already sent his Soul Entity into the dragon corpse’s body.

Now his Soul Entity was heading towards the Dragon Core of the dragon corpse.

"Cough cough!"

Xu Ping’an feigned an injured demeanor and did not make another move.

And this scene drew the sneers of many geniuses.

It seemed they had overestimated Xu Ping’an; he was nothing special after all.

Xu Ping’an was unconcerned with the opinions of others; on the contrary, he was pleased to see them think this way.

At this moment, he was carefully sensing the condition of his own soul entity.

"This is it."

The soul entity Xu Ping’an soon found the Dragon corpse’s Monster Core.

It had to be said that the Dragon corpse’s Monster Core was incredibly large, much larger than an ordinary Monster Core.

And the hardness of the Monster Core was also much greater than that of the ordinary ones.

A special force covered the surface of the Monster Core, seemingly very unique, enveloping the core.

It emitted an aura of a Dragon Soul.

Any soul power without the breath of a Dragon Soul would be blocked by this force upon approach.

"It seems this is a soul invasion defense method unique to the Dragon Race. I wonder if it’s man-made or natural. No wonder the physical bodies of the Dragon Race’s experts are so strong, yet so few manage to possess them," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

In the entire history, there were very few instances of the Dragon Race’s physical bodies being possessed.

You should know that many from the Human Race and the Demon Race covet the Dragon Race’s bodies.

There must have been attempts at possession, but successful cases were rare.

This clearly demonstrated the strength of the Dragon Race’s unique defensive measures.

However, Xu Ping’an had now swallowed the Xuan Tian Black Dragon’s Dragon Soul.

Though it was not a true True Dragon, its bloodline was already very close.

The breath of the Dragon Soul was a match, so Xu Ping’an entered the Dragon corpse’s Monster Core without any hindrance.

The space inside the Dragon Race’s Monster Core was very large, somewhat unexpected for Xu Ping’an.

The so-called Monster Core is essentially the power center of the Dragon Race, where both the Dragon Soul and demonic power are stored.

The Monster Core is divided into upper and lower layers, with the upper layer akin to a Niwan Palace space.

Below is a space similar to the Pill Sea.

Xu Ping’an was now invading the Dragon corpse’s Niwan Palace.

What surprised Xu Ping’an was that this Dragon corpse’s Niwan Palace was even larger than he had imagined, almost catching up to his own.

It’s known that his Niwan Palace was already eighty-one times that of an ordinary cultivator, which is the human limit.

But this True Dragon’s Niwan Palace was clearly not deliberately cultivated, yet its strength and size were far superior to that of humans.

"This is truly a race blessed by the heavens—a race like this, to perish in the Lower Realm, is utterly inconceivable," Xu Ping’an reflected.

This was his first encounter with a True Dragon, and his first time invading a True Dragon’s Monster Core.

Xu Ping’an continued towards the core of the True Dragon’s Monster Core.

Soon, he found his target.

In the center of the True Dragon’s Niwan Palace, a sphere of light was currently floating.

Within the sphere, a little dragon lay devoid of any signs of life.

Yet now, the surface of the sphere was covered with dense, complex patterns.

These patterns were the formations of the Dragon corpse puppet.

However, none of this was what truly drew Xu Ping’an’s interest.

What truly captivated him was the person standing below the sphere of light.

A woman.

The woman was so beautiful that she could put the moon to shame and surpass all flowers in her grace.

Her eyes were as deep as the stars.

The woman turned her head to look towards Xu Ping’an, her eyes similarly filled with a deep surprise.

"It’s you?" Xu Ping’an exclaimed in astonishment.

"Indeed, your sudden action was to invade the Dragon Ball," the woman said coldly to Xu Ping’an.

"Your methods also surprised me, managing to deceive everyone and enter this place. If I had arrived just a little later, perhaps you would have already taken control of this Dragon corpse," Xu Ping’an said with a light chuckle.

Looking at the beautiful woman before him, his eyes showed a trace of confusion.

She had no trace of the Dragon Soul’s breath about her; how did she get in?

Yes, the person before him was none other than Zhao Hanxing.
