Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 654: Encounter Trouble

```

Golden Winged Cloud Peng?

Xu Ping’an was also full of astonishment.

He had not expected that the first thing he would encounter in the Jade Spirit Realm would be a Golden Winged Cloud Peng?

And it was also a Ninth Rank demon beast.

Fortunately, this Golden Winged Cloud Peng was only at the Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm, otherwise even Xu Ping’an would have cursed his luck.

"Damn it, it’s coming straight for us, have we invaded its territory?" Tang Jun said nervously.

His strength was the weakest among those present, at the Eighth Rank Fourth Layer Realm.

Such strength was utterly ineffectual in the face of an Eleventh Rank Golden Winged Cloud Peng.

However, no one answered his words because everyone was extremely tense at the moment.

"Impossible, this mountain range did not have this Golden Winged Cloud Peng before, which is why I dared to use the immortal ship. Could it have just arrived recently?" Du Yuan was also extremely tense.

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly felt the urge to throttle Du Yuan.

But right now, they could only rely on Du Yuan.

"Whoosh!"

The Golden Winged Cloud Peng tore through the sky at incredible speed, crossing dozens of miles in the blink of an eye, viciously crashing into the immortal ship.

"Boom!"

A loud noise resounded.

The immortal ship instantly shattered into pieces.

Everyone was sent flying by the terrifying impact.

However, thankfully, none of them had been struck by the Golden Winged Cloud Peng; they had all stabilized their forms and were suspended in the air.

Du Yuan took the lead, standing in front of the others, holding an Immortal Spear, his eyes fixated on the Golden Winged Cloud Peng.

"Peng King, we are from the Jade Immortal Temple; we are just passing by this place and will leave immediately. Please spare us," Du Yuan hastily pleaded respectfully.

Song Lingxue and others all looked nervously towards the immense Golden Winged Cloud Peng ahead.

Clearly, they were all worried about what they would do next if the Golden Winged Cloud Peng did not agree to let them leave.

Even Du Yuan’s strength was no more than the Tenth Rank First Layer.

With such strength, he stood no chance against the Golden Winged Cloud Peng.

"Hmph, from the Jade Immortal Temple? If it were the Jade Immortal Temple of the past, I might have been wary of it, but you dare to use the current Jade Immortal Temple to threaten this Holy King?" The Golden Winged Cloud Peng spoke human language, its tone filled with contempt.

Hearing this, everyone felt their hearts sink.

Damn, this Golden Winged Cloud Peng isn’t buying it; we’re done for.

They hadn’t expected the Jade Spirit Realm’s Immortal Temple to be so ineffective that even a demon beast didn’t respect it.

Xu Ping’an’s brow was also deeply furrowed, it seemed like the Golden Winged Cloud Peng would not give up on killing them.

"You all go first, escape, the farther the better, I’ll hold it off," Du Yuan urgently said to everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed drastically.

Although Du Yuan had told them something like this before, and they were somewhat prepared for it,

they really didn’t expect this moment to come so quickly?

It had only been a few hours, and now they had to run for their lives?

"Whoosh!"

As everyone hesitated, Tang Jun was the first to turn into a streak of light, quickly fleeing into the distance.

Long Zhan and others hesitated for a moment but then also turned into streaks of light and shot away.

Song Kaitian and others hesitated for a moment, too, and then scattered.

Soon, only Xu Ping’an, Tang Qingyu, and Song Lingxue were left in the sky.

"Master, let’s run quickly," Song Lingxue said with a worried face.

But Xu Ping’an shook his head, "It’s no use, none of us can escape. Look at the Golden Winged Cloud Peng, isn’t it smiling?"

Upon hearing this, Song Lingxue immediately looked towards the Golden Winged Cloud Peng.

Indeed, the Golden Winged Cloud Peng, watching the departing Song Kaitian and the others, had a hint of amusement in its eyes.

Song Lingxue felt a chill in her heart.

"It’s playing with us. To it, we are no more than mice, and it is enjoying the thrill of the chase," Xu Ping’an said.

Hearing this, Song Lingxue felt her scalp tingle.

```

They were actually treated as rats?

Tang Qingyu’s face was also exceedingly solemn.

Although she knew that Xu Ping’an’s strength was not weak, the Golden Winged Cloud Peng in front of them was at the Eleventh Rank, and Xu Ping’an could not possibly be its match.

"I will make a move later, hold it back, and you all follow Du Yuan and leave together," Xu Ping’an said to Song Lingxue and Tang Qingyu.

"What about you?" Tang Qingyu asked anxiously.

"Don’t worry, although I’m not its opponent, it will not be easy for it to kill me," Xu Ping’an’s eyes sharpened, and a strong will to battle surged in his heart.

"Haha, I haven’t eaten humans in a long time, the hunt begins, and I’ll start with you first," the Golden Winged Cloud Peng laughed heartily.

Immediately, it rushed towards Du Yuan at high speed.

Du Yuan was shocked, and quickly mobilized his Immortal Elemental and the power of Dao Principles.

He wielded the spear in his hand and fiercely thrust it towards the Golden Winged Cloud Peng.

Du Yuan had comprehended the sharpness of Metal Attribute Dao Laws, and now, when added to the spear, the power of the spear increased tenfold.

With one thrust, a terrifying blast of air erupted, spreading hundreds of meters.

However, such an attack seemed trivial in the eyes of the Golden Winged Cloud Peng.

It didn’t even bother to defend, charging straight at Du Yuan, and collided with his spear with its physical body.

"Crack!"

The spear snapped instantly.

What?

Du Yuan was terrified, utterly shocked.

"Die, delicious blood," the Golden Winged Cloud Peng laughed wildly, and its terrifying claws reached straight for Du Yuan.

If that claw were to strike, Du Yuan’s body would be torn to shreds like paper.

Du Yuan seemed to realize this, his complexion full of utter terror, but he had no strength to fight back.

"Boom!"

However, just when Du Yuan thought he was undoubtedly doomed, a muffled sound like a mountain collapsing echoed through the air.

Then he saw the previously invincible Golden Winged Cloud Peng suddenly flung backward.

Eventually, it heavily crashed into a mountain peak five hundred meters away, collapsing the summit of the mountain.

"What..." Du Yuan looked in utter astonishment at Xu Ping’an, who had appeared before him out of nowhere, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Commander Du, take these two and go, I’ll hold it off," Xu Ping’an said to Du Yuan.

After speaking, Xu Ping’an’s figure turned into a bolt of Thunder Light and disappeared instantly.

The next second, he appeared right in front of the Golden Winged Cloud Peng.

He threw a punch.

Like a colossal mountain pushing horizontally, the force was terrifying as if a heavenly pillar had collapsed.

As a result, the Golden Winged Cloud Peng was once again thrown backward hundreds of meters.

Du Yuan watched, dumbfounded.

Beating up the Golden Winged Cloud Peng?

What kind of strength was this?

Was he really just a cultivator from the Lower Realm?

Was he really only at the Ninth Rank of cultivation?

"What are you still dazed for? Take them and go, I’m only suppressing it momentarily," Xu Ping’an bellowed.

Hearing these words, Du Yuan also instantly snapped back to reality.

"Go!"

With that, he took Tang Qingyu and Song Lingxue and left.

The two women seemed reluctant to leave, but they knew that if they stayed, they would not be able to help and would only be a burden.

In the end, they had no choice but to follow Commander Du and leave.

Meanwhile, Xu Ping’an was unleashing the Time Fist Technique, furiously suppressing the Golden Winged Cloud Peng.

Not giving it any chance to counterattack.

However, from beginning to end, he never broke through the defense of the Golden Winged Cloud Peng’s Scale Armor.
