Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 639 Shocking the Entire Audience

Xu Ping’an’s aura bore down on the Demon Cloud Heaven elder like a massive mountain.

The Great Elder of Demon Cloud Heaven immediately felt an overwhelming pressure.

Even for a Tenth Rank Peak power like him, this pressure was extremely oppressive.

"Xu Ping’an, you killed two of our young masters and now our Vice Sky Lord. You murderous fiend, you must pay the price today," the Great Elder of Demon Cloud Heaven roared.

Facing Xu Ping’an’s oppression, he let his own aura explode without reservation.

The Tenth Rank Peak aura soared into the heavens, clearing the clouds above.

"A murderous fiend? You’re allowed to kill me, but I’m not allowed to kill you? Is that the logic of your great sects?" Xu Ping’an sneered with disdain, a rebellious light in his eyes.

These major powers only bullied him because they thought he had no backing.

"Say what you will, but for killing our Heavenly Master, you must die," the Great Elder of Demon Cloud Heaven said, his eyes flashing with a cold and murderous light.

The next moment, a sharp sword appeared before him.

The sword emitted a heartbeat-skipping fluctuation.

"Is this..." Everyone around felt their hearts skip a beat.

The aura from the sword filled them with immense dread.

"Yes, it is the Blood Sacrifice Weapon of Demon Cloud Heaven. It is said that this sword was originally a Superior Grade Immortal Sword and was later tempered with the essence blood of successive Heavenly Masters of Demon Cloud Heaven, cultivating a certain level of spiritual intelligence, becoming a blood-tempered weapon," Lan Jing spoke.

"Blood-tempered weapon, I’m afraid its power is enough to slay an ordinary Tenth Rank, Ninth Layer Realm powerhouse," Xue Dong nodded in agreement, taking a deep breath as he spoke.

He truly hadn’t expected Demon Cloud Heaven to bring out such a treasure.

It can be said to be one of the Heavenly Suppressing Treasures of Demon Cloud Heaven.

"The Demon Cloud Sword? It seems Demon Cloud Heaven is truly determined to kill," a Great Elder from another major power spoke from the shadows.

Others nodded in agreement.

This Demon Cloud Sword, even they would not be able to withstand it.

At this moment, Xu Ping’an also felt the terrifying aura exuding from the sharp sword.

It had to be said, the sword also made him feel a sense of danger.

"Blood-tempered weapon? The Heavenly Suppressing Treasure of Demon Cloud Heaven? It’s a pity that it can only be tempered with the same bloodline, and others, even if they get the sword, cannot activate it," Xu Ping’an sighed.

Such a powerful weapon was almost comparable to a Divine Weapon.

Even if not, it wasn’t far behind a Semi-Divine Artifact.

If he could snatch it, it would surely be of great use.

But this blood-tempered weapon could not be controlled by outsiders; in his hands, it would be nothing but scrap metal.

"I need it, its Artifact Spirit can be devoured by me."

Just then, a voice echoed in Xu Ping’an’s mind.

"Cang Xue, are you saying you can devour this sword’s Artifact Spirit?" Xu Ping’an asked in surprise.

"Yes, by devouring it, I can at least raise my Soul Power to the initial stage of Tenth Rank," Cang Xue responded.

"By the way, Cang Xue, the last time you mentioned that a fragment of your true body was in that great hall, have you sensed it since?" Xu Ping’an asked.

He had almost forgotten about it, having intended to find it for Cang Xue before being teleported out.

"The fragment is already on you," Cang Xue spoke.

"On me? You mean that wooden token?" Xu Ping’an asked, utterly astonished.

"That’s right, the wooden token. I didn’t mention it because I discovered I still can’t merge with my true body. Let’s leave this for later, you have to face your enemy now," Cang Xue responded.

Inwardly, Xu Ping’an was extremely astonished.

He had been wondering what was so special about the wooden token.

Now hearing Cang Xue say that the token was actually a fragment of her true body, Xu Ping’an found it hard to believe.

He had always thought he missed the opportunity to find a fragment of Cang Xue’s true body for her.

It turned out that the fragment had been in his possession all along.

"It seems this wooden token is not just a simple carrier of legacy; it is not just an ordinary carrier. There is a greater secret hidden behind it," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

No wonder these powers all wanted to obtain the legacy of the Fenghe Immortal Emperor.

Was it for the inheritance itself, or was it for this wooden token?

This point, probably even the powerhouses who came to kill him did not know, right?

But behind these forces, there must be someone who knows.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping’an felt that the world was far more complex than he had imagined.

"To be distracted even by the Demon Cloud Sword, go to die," the Demon Cloud Heaven’s Great Elder snorted coldly.

He found that Xu Ping’an was actually losing focus, which instantly sparked an unprecedented surge of animosity in his heart.

The next moment, he directly urged the Demon Cloud Sword to kill Xu Ping’an.

The sharp sword pierced through the air, turning into a red flash.

A rich and intense blood-colored aura, with heart-terrifying fluctuations, rapidly approached Xu Ping’an.

The potency of the fluctuations contained within it was terrifying enough to instantly destroy the entire capital of the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty.

Everyone around felt as if they were facing King Yama himself.

Xu Ping’an’s gaze sharpened, and a murderous intent also surged in his eyes.

Watching the Blood Sword that was rapidly bearing down on him.

A faint smile unexpectedly curved the corners of Xu Ping’an’s mouth.

"A mere sword even thinks of killing me, Demon Cloud Heaven truly underestimates me too much."

Xu Ping’an simply uttered a sentence.

The next moment, he directly clenched his fist, and a nearly terrifying power burst forth from his body.

"Boom!"

Xu Ping’an threw a punch and actually collided head-on with the Blood Sword.

"What?"

A series of gasps echoed from the surroundings.

Everyone stood agape.

The Demon Cloud Heaven’s Great Elder was even more stunned.

Xu Ping’an actually blocked the attack from the Demon Cloud Sword with his fist?

This was the Demon Cloud Sword after all!

Even if he used the power of Dao Principles, he would still have to retreat three steps in the face of this sword.

Yet Xu Ping’an had chosen to meet it head-on with his fist?

And it seemed that he didn’t even lose ground?

How was this possible?

"Tenth Rank Peak of Ninth Layer Realm? Has his combat power actually reached the Tenth Rank Peak of Ninth Layer Realm?" Xue Dong also felt his heartbeat come to a sudden halt.

Lan Jing was also stupified.

Zhao Hanyue was too shocked to even speak.

Even Zhao Hanxing had an incredulous look on his face.

"Boom!"

The Demon Cloud Sword was still charging relentlessly, its terrifying might scattering the void time after time.

The blood-colored edge was sharp enough to penetrate anything.

But against the fist of Xu Ping’an, it couldn’t advance an inch.

"Hmph, indeed a divine weapon for killing, but today I will certainly disable you," Xu Ping’an’s eyes were icy cold.

Above his fist, a burst of Sword Intent erupted, instantly sending the Demon Cloud Sword flying.

The Demon Cloud Sword flew backwards, seemingly unwilling to give in, and charged towards Xu Ping’an again.

But Xu Ping’an just scoffed in disdain, continuously throwing punches.

Again and again, he blocked all of the Demon Cloud Sword’s attacks.

One man, one sword, fighting with earth-shattering intensity.
