Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 655: The Terrifying Golden Winged Cloud Peng

"Enough!"

A thunderous shout rang out, followed by a terrifying surge of demon yuan that instantly erupted, sending Xu Ping’an flying.

Xu Ping’an’s figure retreated a full five hundred zhang before stabilizing from the impact of the dreadful demon yuan fluctuation.

"Such an immensely powerful demon yuan fluctuation, is this the power of a Demon Beast at the Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm?" Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

In fact, Xu Ping’an had intercepted the Golden Winged Cloud Peng also as an opportunity to test his own strength.

In the Mortal Realm, he hardly had any opponents.

He had originally planned to look for a chance to make a move after arriving at the Immortal Hall, but he didn’t expect to encounter such a nuisance upon his arrival in the Jade Immortal Realm.

Additionally, he wanted to use this opportunity to see if he could withstand the pressure from the Golden Winged Cloud Peng to break through to the Second Layer of the Fenghe Sword Technique.

"Interesting human, I didn’t expect a mere Ninth Rank to have such strength. Your physical body is very strong, and your flesh, delectable," the Golden Winged Cloud Peng said, its massive wings flapping voraciously as it eyed Xu Ping’an greedily.

Although Xu Ping’an had struck it a few times, in its view, those were merely like tickling.

"Big bird, you’re not fit to eat me," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Hmph, arrogant and ignorant human, you’re courting death," the Golden Winged Cloud Peng huffed coldly.

The next moment, with a flap of its wings, a terrifying hurricane swept toward Xu Ping’an in an instant.

The hurricane, as it whirled by, actually formed countless Wind Blades.

These Wind Blades tore through the void, creating a terrifying sound of friction as they sped toward Xu Ping’an at an extreme speed.

Every Wind Blade was as powerful as a full-strength strike from a Tenth Rank Peak expert.

Xu Ping’an was also startled, his eyes becoming extremely sharp as he stared at the terrifying Wind Blades wrapped in the hurricane.

A Superior Grade Immortal Sword appeared in his hand.

This was from an elder of the Earth Divine Sect whom he had slain.

Without any hesitation, Xu Ping’an immediately utilized the Fenghe Sword Technique, integrating his understanding of Spatial Momentum.

"Rift Sky Secret Technique—Rift Sky Slash!"

Xu Ping’an shouted as he slashed down with his sword, instantly creating countless Spatial Blades from the Sharp Sword in his hand, densely packed and colliding with the terrifying hurricane.

"Boom!"

Countless Wind Blades collided with the Spatial Blades, producing a sound similar to the intertwining of fine steel.

The two forces clashed, creating a massive boom.

The mountains and the earth were leveled by these forces, with the original vegetation vanishing without a trace.

"Pu!"

Under the impact of the two forces, Xu Ping’an was sent flying out, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"That’s all you’ve got. Human, your flesh is mine," the Golden Winged Cloud Peng declared.

At that moment, the figure of the Golden Winged Cloud Peng suddenly appeared beside Xu Ping’an.

Its terrifying claws reached out directly for Xu Ping’an.

"So fast!"

Xu Ping’an was shocked. The speed of the Golden Winged Cloud Peng was faster than he had imagined.

No wonder it let Tang Jun and the others get away, as it seemed to it, their speed was as slow as a snail’s.

"Snap!"

As the claw reached out, Xu Ping’an immediately transformed into a bolt of Thunder Light, directly entering the void.

The next time he appeared, he was a hundred meters away.

Xu Ping’an, clutching his chest, wore a solemn expression on his face.

The strength of the Golden Winged Cloud Peng was even greater than he had imagined.

The gap between the Eleventh Rank and the Tenth Rank Peak was not just ordinary.

Even though Xu Ping’an was almost invincible among those of the Tenth Rank, he was still no match for a Demon Beast of the Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm.

"Oh? Thunder and Spatial Law? No, it hasn’t reached the Dao Principle Realm yet, just a grand momentum, yet capable of spatial traversal? Human, you really are somewhat interesting," the Golden Winged Cloud Peng sneered.

The next moment, its figure flashed again, and its massive body appeared once more in front of Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an’s pupils contracted immediately, and he once again transformed into Thunder Light to flee.

```plaintext

But this time, as soon as he appeared, the Golden Winged Cloud Peng was already behind him.

"At this distance, you can’t escape my claws, die," the Golden Winged Cloud Peng’s claw struck down.

This time, Xu Ping’an had no time to dodge.

"It’s useless, I’ll have to use the Dao Principles," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

The next moment, a terrifying melting aura burst forth from his body.

As Xu Ping’an slashed with his sword, a huge, flaming sword aura clashed fiercely with the Golden Winged Cloud Peng’s sharp claw.

"Puchi!"

Blood splattered as the Golden Winged Cloud Peng let out a scream and was sent flying backward.

A sword mark a meter long could be seen on its massive claw, with signs of being scorched at the edges.

"Flame Dao Principle? Fourth Layer of Dao Principles? How is this possible?" The Golden Winged Cloud Peng looked at Xu Ping’an with furious, malicious eyes.

Xu Ping’an held his sharp sword, his eyes also filled with a strong will to fight.

Yes, he had borrowed the power of the Melting Dao Principle.

Although the Melting Dao Principle was an Eleventh Rank Peak Dao Principle, Xu Ping’an’s soul power was only comparable to the Fourth Layer Realm of the Tenth Rank, so he could only wield the power of the Fourth Layer of Fusion Dao.

However, with the enhancement of this Fourth Layer Dao Principle, Xu Ping’an’s power had almost reached the First Layer Realm of the Eleventh Rank.

"Big bird, I told you that you’re not qualified to eat me, let’s fight again," Xu Ping’an sneered, a majestic battle intent soaring to the heavens.

A powerful aura emanated from him, creating terrifying waves of heat that distorted the air around.

At this moment, Xu Ping’an appeared as if enveloped in a layer of flames, his aura astonishingly formidable.

"Hmph, this is not your own Dao Principle, you’re merely borrowing the power of Dao Principles, human, do you really think that by using a borrowed Dao Principle, you can kill me when I have not even used the power of Dao Principles from the beginning until now?" The Golden Winged Cloud Peng scoffed.

"Eh?" Xu Ping’an was shocked.

Indeed, from the beginning until now, the Golden Winged Cloud Peng had not used any Dao Principles.

And it was an Eleventh Rank Demon Beast; if it used the power of Dao Principles, wouldn’t its power be...

With this thought, Xu Ping’an cursed under his breath.

Was this Demon Beast with the bloodline of an Eleventh Rank Divine Beast so terrifying?

"No, I cannot prolong this battle, I must end it quickly," Xu Ping’an said to himself.

"Human, today I will show you what true speed is," the Golden Winged Cloud Peng laughed heartily.

In the next instant, its figure blurred and then disappeared.

The gigantic body vanished without a trace.

"What?" Xu Ping’an was shocked and quickly looked for the Golden Winged Cloud Peng’s position.

But to his surprise, he found that his eyes couldn’t keep up with the Golden Winged Cloud Peng’s moving speed.

"Not good!"

Xu Ping’an was alarmed and quickly summoned his Divine Armor.

And just as the Semi-Divine Battle Armor materialized.

A golden claw, as if emerging from the void, fiercely grabbed his chest.

"Clang!"

The claw scraped against Xu Ping’an’s Semi-Divine Battle Armor, creating dazzling sparks.

Then Xu Ping’an’s figure flew backward like a falling meteor, smashing all the distant trees and rocks in its path.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, Xu Ping’an finally stopped when he crashed into a mountain ten thousand meters away.

Looking at his chest, there were three clear claw marks.

Xu Ping’an’s internal organs had been ruptured by the shaking, nearly turning into mush.

"Cough cough!"

Xu Ping’an spat out blood, feeling as if his body was exploding with pain.

He hadn’t felt such agony in a long time.

The strength of this Golden Winged Cloud Peng was too terrifying.
