Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 650: The Genius of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty

Inside the Imperial Capital City, within a gigantic martial arts arena.

At this moment, a man and a woman were deeply engaged in battle, with the sounds of their combat thunderously resounding.

One wielded a saber, the other a sword; it could be said that their fight was in a deadlock.

Meanwhile, around the perimeter of the martial arts arena, a number of young men and women were gathered.

They watched the battle in the arena, cheering continuously.

"Who would have thought that Tang Qingyu could actually fight to a standstill with Song Kaitian, and neither of them is outmatched," a muscular young man said with a feeling of awe.

"Isn’t that so? It’s only been half a year, and both of them have already reached the Ninth Rank Peak. Their combat power is even close to that of an early-stage Demi Immortal. The speed of their progress is just too fast; I haven’t even broken through the Ninth Rank," another young man followed up.

"Yu Chenshan, stop talking about yourself. Excluding your older brother Yu Chenglin, Prince Qin Mu, and these two monsters, who else here has broken through the Ninth Rank?" a young man in a Daoist robe said with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces showed a hint of a sigh.

In half a year, they were able to progress from the Sixth Rank to the Eighth Rank. This rate was already incredibly fast.

"By the way, it’s the day to head to the Jade Spirit Realm today, and both Xu Ping’an and Li Qingyi haven’t shown up. Could it be that they won’t come?" the previously muscular young man spoke up.

This person was none other than Long Zhan from the Martial King’s Mansion.

"Don’t worry, he will definitely come. However, Li Qingyi truly can’t make it, so his spot was given to Li Fuchen," Qin Mu said with a smile.

"So that’s how it is. I was wondering how the opportunity fell to me. Turns out it was Li Qingyi’s spot that he gave up," Li Fuchen said in sudden realization.

"I’m also not sure what Cultivation Realm Xu Ping’an is at now," Yu Chenglin spoke up, his eyes brimming with a fighting spirit.

"Right, Xu Ping’an was the champion at that time. I wonder what kind of strength he has now," Long Zhan also spoke up.

These people had all been in Closed-door Cultivation this half year and didn’t know much about the outside world.

Only Prince Qin Mu’s lips curved into a smile.

Xu Ping’an’s strength?

If he spoke it out, he might just scare everyone to death.

Even he had been so frightened upon receiving those reports that he couldn’t speak for quite some time.

"What strength Xu Ping’an has, won’t we know once he arrives?" Prince Qin Mu asked somewhat cryptically.

"I guess Xu Ping’an’s Cultivation shouldn’t be too low. He should also have broken through the Ninth Rank by now, but probably only around the second or third layer," Li Fuchen speculated.

The others nodded in agreement, thinking it made sense.

Qin Mu smiled faintly, not expecting him to actually guess correctly.

But how could Xu Ping’an’s ability be measured merely by the apparent Realm?

"If it’s the Ninth Rank Second or Third Layer, I might be able to fight him. I just broke through the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm yesterday. My combat power is comparable to an average Ninth Rank Peak, he should be no match for me," Yu Chenglin said confidently.

"That’s right, big brother, you’ve mastered our Yu Family’s Spear Technique to perfection and even set foot on the threshold of the Spear Path. Xu Ping’an shouldn’t be your opponent," Yu Chenshan quickly added.

Qin Mu merely smiled and said nothing.

Ninth Rank Peak?

Even if you were at the Tenth Rank Peak, you might not be a match for Xu Ping’an.

However, he chose not to reveal this, simply smiling gently.

"Impossible. My master is the strongest. Not to mention you all, even they are no match for my master," a displeased voice interjected at this moment.

Hearing this, everyone looked towards the speaker.

A stunningly beautiful woman emerged, followed by a young man dressed in luxurious attire.

Embroidered on the chest of the young man’s garment was the character for "Elixir."

"Song Lingxue, even if Xu Ping’an is your master, you don’t need to defend him like this. My brother’s strength is witnessed by everyone. Not too long ago, my brother single-handedly killed a Ninth Rank Peak Black Nether Demon Tiger," Yu Chenshan boasted proudly.

"Black Nether Demon Tiger? That’s the powerful Demon Beast with the Black Primordial Spirit Tiger bloodline. Big brother Cheng Lin is truly amazing," the luxuriously dressed young man exclaimed right away.

```

"That’s true, my brother’s spear technique has reached an incredible level of mastery. Once he goes to the Jade Spirit Realm, he’ll be able to set foot on the Spear Path and achieve immortality," Yu Chenshan continued.

"Achieve immortality? So soon?" The youth in luxurious clothing immediately showed an admiring look.

Long Zhan, Li Fuchen, and others also showed surprised expressions.

Had Yu Chenglin actually grasped the Dao Principle Realm?

"Hmph, what does achieving immortality amount to? My master will only be stronger," Song Lingxue rebutted unconvinced.

"Song Lingxue, I know you admire your master greatly, but my big brother has trained very hard this half year, and he has changed beyond recognition, surpassing Xu Ping’an is to be expected," Yu Chenshan continued.

"Yes, Brother Chenglin has indeed trained very hard this half year. I heard he even went alone to the deepest parts of the Wilderness Forest. Lingxue, even if you’re unwilling to admit it, this is a fact," said the youth in luxurious clothing.

"Tang Jun, what do you know? My master will only be stronger than them, definitely not weaker," Song Lingxue said, her face showing her defiance.

During this half year, she had also been confined to the Refining Room, continuously working on Artifact Refining, without going anywhere.

She had wanted to go to the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty to play with her master, but she didn’t even make it out of the Imperial Capital City, as she was taken back by the people from the Refining Alliance.

However, now her level of Artifact Refining had reached the point where she could refine Low Grade Immortal Artifacts.

She was the only Immortal Instrument Master in the entire Imperial Capital City.

As for this Tang Jun, he was a genius from the Heavenly Elixir Sect, able to refine Superior Grade Immortal Pills of the Ninth Rank, a talented figure in Alchemy.

This guy was always sticking close to her, docile to her every command, but unexpectedly today, he seemed to join others in looking down on her master.

"Boom!"

A loud noise erupted.

Tang Qingyu was sent flying, retreating hundreds of meters before stabilizing her figure.

Song Kaitian, on the other hand, only took three steps back.

Thus, the victor was clear without saying.

"I’ve lost, Brother Song’s strength is indeed extraordinary," Tang Qingyu said.

"Sister Tang’s Cultivation is also very strong, especially your swordsmanship, which I’m afraid is not far from stepping into the Dao Principle," Song Kaitian said solemnly.

"Brother Song must have already travelled some distance on the path of the Dao Principle, right?" Tang Qingyu pondered aloud.

"Not far, less than two hundred meters," Song Kaitian said.

"Less than two hundred meters? Does that mean Song Kaitian could achieve immortality at any time once he goes to the Spirit Realm?" The surrounding people were astonished.

Yu Chenglin also wore a look of surprise, as Song Kaitian’s strength was likely even above his own.

Even Qin Mu felt somewhat taken aback.

"Brother Song is truly a genius of the academy. It looks like you’ll be the first among us to achieve immortality in the Jade Spirit Realm," Li Fuchen spoke with respect.

The others nodded in agreement.

Song Kaitian did not speak but looked around; he was curious about Xu Ping’an’s current strength.

He wanted to see if his half year of bitter training could allow him to contend with Xu Ping’an.

"Look, someone is coming!"

"So fast!"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed in surprise.

The others quickly turned their gaze in the direction pointed out.

When they saw who was approaching, Song Lingxue was the first to jump up excitedly.

"Master, it’s Master!"

Song Lingxue shouted with excitement.

Xu Ping’an?

The others also looked on with curiosity.
