Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 619: The Powerful Zhao Hanxing

"You’ve also surprised me by managing to come here."

Zhao Hanxing looked at Xu Ping’an, her eyes carrying a hint of coldness.

A powerful soul oppression emanated from her.

This soul oppression was so intense that even Xu Ping’an felt his scalp tingle.

"Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm soul power, is this your true strength?" Xu Ping’an exclaimed in surprise.

While surprised, he was also cursing inwardly.

Damn it, this woman’s soul strength has actually reached the Eleventh Rank.

How is this possible?

Back in reality, Xu Ping’an subconsciously looked at Zhao Hanxing.

At this moment, Zhao Hanxing was still battling; sensing Xu Ping’an’s gaze, she gave him a cold glance.

Xu Ping’an was instantly speechless.

This person is engaged in battle, indicating that Zhao Hanxing must possess at least two soul origins.

Otherwise, she couldn’t possibly invade the dragon corpse while also fighting.

Could it be that she also cultivates the same Soul Cultivation Method as myself?

But it doesn’t seem like it.

Suddenly, Xu Ping’an seemed to realize something.

"Are you a Twin Soul?" Xu Ping’an asked, astonished.

"Correct. It seems you know quite a bit. I am indeed a Twin Soul, so I’ve always had two soul origins, and the soul origins are interconnected. Although the soul origin in the outside world is only at the Tenth Rank First Layer, this soul origin has reached the Eleventh Rank, which is my true strength," Zhao Hanxing said.

Xu Ping’an was rendered speechless to the extreme.

Twin Souls are extremely rare, even rarer than a Chaotic Body.

This woman not only possesses an extremely powerful Chaotic Star Body but also has Twin Souls.

Having Twin Souls means this person could have an avatar.

However, Zhao Hanxing doesn’t have an avatar at the moment; clearly, she’s considering turning this dragon corpse into her avatar.

"You want to refine this dragon corpse into your avatar?" Xu Ping’an understood everything and asked with surprise.

"Yes, although this is a dragon corpse from the last generation, it can still be said to be the strongest physical body in the Lower Realm, plus it’s a female dragon, only three years old, which couldn’t be more perfect. The key question is, do you know what kind of dragon it is?" Zhao Hanxing, who seldom spoke, seemed to have more to say at this moment.

Xu Ping’an felt it might be because this soul had always been quietly cultivating, rarely speaking.

"I don’t know," Xu Ping’an shook his head.

He only knew that the dragon’s corpse had purple scales of the Ice Attribute.

As for the exact type of dragon, he truly didn’t know.

"It is called the Purple Moon Nether Dragon. Although it doesn’t rank in the top ten among the Dragon Race, it is very suitable for me, as I also have the Ice Attribute," Zhao Hanxing said.

Xu Ping’an frowned.

Purple Moon Nether Dragon, quite a feminine name.

He even suspected that Zhao Hanxing made up the name on the spot.

"After saying so much, are you trying to tell me that you’re dead set on this dragon corpse?" Xu Ping’an said.

"Exactly, I am determined to have this dragon corpse. I don’t wish to live inside the main body anymore. Although we share a physical body and can both feel everything about the body, and our soul perceptions are interconnected, I wish to have a new physical body, I yearn for an additional sense," Zhao Hanxing said, her eyes showing a trace of madness.

Xu Ping’an’s brow knitted slightly.

This was going to be difficult.

It seemed Zhao Hanxing would not easily give up.

As for fighting, how to fight?

This was an Eleventh Rank Peak level soul combat power.

Such combat power was enough to easily shatter his soul entity.

Although the shattering of this soul entity wouldn’t affect him greatly,

what would happen to his physical body’s breakthrough if Zhao Hanxing obtained this dragon corpse?

"You must have been able to come here by virtue of your cultivation technique, and you have the aura of a Dragon Soul on you, presumably because you have devoured the power of a Dragon Soul," Zhao Hanxing refocused his gaze on Xu Ping’an and spoke.

"So what if I have?" Xu Ping’an asked.

He felt that Zhao Hanxing had not attacked him yet and seemed to have other motives.

Could it be, soul seizure?

Soul seizing a Dragon Soul required a process.

Once the puppet mark above was broken, the dragon corpse would become motionless, and by then, people from the outside world would definitely notice.

"Do you want me to control the dragon corpse to cover for you?" Xu Ping’an asked in astonishment.

"Correct, my soul seizure needs time, and the dragon corpse cannot stop. That’s why even though I arrived early, I haven’t attempted the seizure yet— your presence now couldn’t be more timely," Zhao Hanxing explained.

"And if I refuse?" Xu Ping’an asked with a frown.

"Then I will imprison your soul entity and subject it to endless torture," Zhao Hanxing’s eyes shone with a starlight.

The next moment, Xu Ping’an felt his soul entity immobilized.

An Eleventh Rank soul was simply too powerful, and Xu Ping’an faced a force more than a hundred times greater than his.

With such a disparity, Xu Ping’an had absolutely no power to resist in its presence.

At this moment, any struggle by Xu Ping’an was futile.

"No need to struggle, my soul strength is authentically Eleventh Rank, and your soul cultivation is completely incapable of breaking free; you can’t even self-destruct in front of me," Zhao Hanxing said coldly.

Xu Ping’an’s heart was filled with bitterness.

This person was unexpectedly strong.

This wasn’t the strength of someone ranked forty-seventh on the Genius List.

This power was at least top ten on the Genius List.

He never expected this person to hide so deeply.

"If you want me to help you control the dragon corpse, what’s in it for me?" Xu Ping’an ceased his struggle and started to negotiate with Zhao Hanxing.

Since Zhao Hanxing needed him, there was an opportunity to negotiate.

"Golden Winged Cloud Peng, I know you want the dragon corpse to strengthen your physical body. The Golden Winged Cloud Peng can do that too. If you help me seize the dragon corpse, I’ll help you kill the Golden Winged Cloud Peng and obtain its secrets," Zhao Hanxing offered.

"Huh? Don’t you want to know its secrets?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"No interest. In fact, I can probably guess some of them. That Golden Winged Cloud Peng witnessed a secret of the Ancient Times; many want to know what it saw, but it’s nothing more than how to open the Source Ground of Dao Principle. I’m not very interested in these things," Zhao Hanxing said arrogantly.

Her beautiful face radiated pride unique to her.

"A Tenth Rank Peak Golden Winged Cloud Peng, you can kill it?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"Yes, once I seize the body, I will possess Tenth Rank Peak combat power. This Golden Winged Cloud Peng has been sealed for many years, and its strength is but a fraction of its former self. It’s no match for me," Zhao Hanxing stated indifferently.

"Then how can I trust you? What if you decide to kill me to keep the secret?" Xu Ping’an queried.

This was his most pressing concern.

With combat power at Tenth Rank Peak, he truly stood no chance against her.

"I always keep my word, but if you doubt me, I can swear an oath by heaven and earth," Zhao Hanxing proposed.

"Fine! Swear the oath first," Xu Ping’an asserted.

Zhao Hanxing glared at Xu Ping’an furiously but still took the oath, "I, Zhao Hanxing, swear by the heavenly dao that if Xu Ping’an helps me to successfully seize the body, I shall not kill him and will assist him in killing the Golden Winged Cloud Peng."

As the words were spoken, a force enveloped Zhao Hanxing and then penetrated into her soul body.

Seeing this, Xu Ping’an also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Let’s start then. What should I do?" Xu Ping’an asked.
