Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 641: Thunder Escape into the Void

"Everyone, follow my lead and make your move. Don’t hold back, strike to kill with all your might," Wu Quan’s voice rang out once again.

"Alright, we from Tianlong Hall will give it our all," another elder’s voice resonated.

"Earth Divine Sect will also take action," said a middle-aged man from Earth Divine Sect.

"I, from Shaoyang Heaven, second that."

"I, from Yuheng Heaven, second that."

"I, from Moon Cloud Heaven, also second that."

...

Soon, the powerful figures in the shadows all agreed to join forces and strike with their full might.

There were thirty Tenth Rank Experts, half of whom were at the Tenth Rank Peak.

Such a massive force was already equivalent to the strength of a superpower Sect.

The spectators around were all incredibly astonished by this. With all these experts joining forces, was Xu Ping’an not doomed?

"This Xu Ping’an is in trouble now. With thirty Tenth Rank Experts banding together, not to mention an ordinary Tenth Rank Peak, even an Eleventh Rank Expert would have to stay clear," Xue Dong remarked with a sigh.

"It’s not just that. These forces have all brought their trump cards. Now that they have joined forces, their power is definitely more than the sum of its parts," Lan Jing spoke.

"Only Xu Ping’an himself is to blame. If I were him, I would have played it coy from the start, killed half of them first, then unleashed my full might," Zhao Hanyue said with a light chuckle.

Zhao Hanxing did not speak, merely watching silently.

...

However, upon hearing these elders planning to join forces, Xu Ping’an showed not the slightest sign of nervousness.

He stood there calmly from beginning to end, watching everything unfold.

The cooperation of thirty Tenth Rank Experts was quite the honor for him.

But he also wanted to see just where his limits lay.

"Xu Ping’an, are you scared now?" Wu Quan sneered with a hint of ridicule in his gaze towards Xu Ping’an.

"Scared? Do you think I look scared? All of you come at me together. I want to see what you have that can kill me," Xu Ping’an took a step forward, his Semi-Divine Artifact Battle Armor instantly appearing on him.

A powerful aura burst forth from his body.

At the same time, an Intermediate Grade Immortal Sword appeared in Xu Ping’an’s hand.

"To death with him, everyone! Go all out and kill him," Wu Quan shouted loudly.

Immediately, all thirty elders unleashed their attacks, assaulting Xu Ping’an from all directions.

Blades, sword flashes, spear glows, and ax glimmers...

Thirty attacks descended from the sky, sweeping toward Xu Ping’an in a torrent.

Each of these attacks was powerful enough to shatter a mountain peak.

With so many attacks, Xu Ping’an had absolutely nowhere to hide or evade.

Gazing at the sky full of assaults, an unprecedented fighting spirit surged in Xu Ping’an’s eyes.

"You really think I, Xu Ping’an, am easy to bully? Today, you shall taste what my true strength is," Xu Ping’an snorted coldly.

The next moment, a supreme sword cry emanated from within him.

Xu Ping’an unleashed a sword strike.

A hugely immense, shocking Sword Radiance instantly tore through the void, colliding with those attacks.

"Boom!"

The Sword Radiance collided with the attacks, exploding instantly.

A terrifying energy storm immediately swept across the outskirts of Imperial Capital City.

The trees within a hundred li radius, caught in the fearsome energy storm, were uprooted and reduced to naught.

Even the walls of the Imperial Capital burst apart under the onslaught of the energy storm.

The thirty attacking experts were all knocked back, spitting blood.

"Puh!"

Blood welled up at the corner of Xu Ping’an’s mouth, yet his eyes were sharper than ever before.

"This... is too horrifying."

The onlookers were utterly terrified.

Just now, they had seen several Cultivators standing in the front get blasted into a bloody mush by the energy storm.

Even those standing in the back were left vomiting blood from the shock.

Indeed, the joint attack of thirty Tenth Rank Experts was terrifying in its power.

However, Xu Ping’an blocking all the attacks with a single sword strike was also staggeringly powerful.

"This is too strong," Xue Dong said sincerely.

"Yeah, even if it’s not Eleventh Rank, that’s definitely the limit of Tenth Rank," Lan Jing said, clenching her fist tightly.

A person with lower cultivation than her possessed strength far surpassing hers.

How could she, who considered herself a genius, remain calm?

"But he’s also injured, and he probably won’t be able to block a second strike," Xue Dong shook his head and said.

Lan Jing nodded, being able to block one strike was probably already the limit.

Xu Ping’an was now clutching his chest with his hair disheveled, looking like a god of slaughter.

Indeed, he was injured, and not lightly so.

That strike just now, being able to block it was indeed his limit.

"It’s a pity I haven’t comprehended the second layer of Fenghe Sword Technique, Heaven Penetrating, otherwise blocking that strike just now wouldn’t have been a problem," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

The Fenghe Sword Intent consisted of three layers of intent.

The First Layer, Heart Penetrating;

The Second Layer, Spirit Penetrating;

The Third Layer, Heaven Penetrating.

Now, Xu Ping’an had only mastered the First Layer, Heart Penetrating.

Heart Penetrating meant skillfully mobilizing all of one’s strength, unifying all forces within oneself into one.

Whereas Spirit Penetrating enabled one to merge heart and mind, exerting strength far beyond what one’s own body could normally produce.

Only with Heaven Penetrating could one’s self and the Dao Laws become one.

With one sword at the extreme path, heaven and earth unified.

Currently, Xu Ping’an had only mastered the First Layer of Sword Intent, which meant maximizing command over all his own strength.

That sword just now was the culmination of all his own strength.

If he could achieve Spirit Penetrating, to exert strength beyond his own, then blocking the attacks of those experts just now would have been much easier.

"Xu Ping’an, that strike just now must have been your limit, right? If so, you’re surely going to die today," Wu Quan said with a cold sneer.

Although they were also wounded, their injuries were only minor.

And they still had some killer moves that they had not used yet; Xu Ping’an was doomed to die today.

"You’re right, that strike just now was indeed my limit, but who told you that I have no strength beyond my own?" Xu Ping’an said with a light chuckle.

The next moment, Xu Ping’an’s figure directly vanished from where he stood.

"Ah!"

A sudden scream rang out.

In the rear of the group of thirty experts, a Tenth Rank Seventh Layer Realm warrior was pierced through the heart by a Sharp Sword.

"What?" everyone exclaimed in shock.

Xu Ping’an pushed away the corpse of the Tenth Rank Seventh Layer expert, looked at the surprised experts, and chuckled, "I forgot to tell you—I’ve not only comprehended the Fenghe Sword Technique but also created a Body Method Secret Technique of my own—’Thunder Escape into the Void’."

After saying that, Xu Ping’an’s figure disappeared once again.

"Puchi!"

A flash of Sword Radiance.

On the other side, another elder at Tenth Rank Ninth Layer Realm’s head rolled off his shoulders, killed instantly.

"Teleportation? How is this possible?" Wu Quan exclaimed in horror.

The other elders also began to panic.

How could Xu Ping’an possibly master teleportation?

That was an ability only possessed by the Spatial Law.

Even if Xu Ping’an had comprehended the Spatial Law, he should not have been able to use it in the Mortal Realm.

But how did he do it?

"Ah!"

Another scream echoed.

A third expert was stealthily slain by Xu Ping’an without a sound.

The people around stood there, staring, dumbfounded.

And the experts were now thoroughly panicked.

If this continued, wouldn’t they all die?
