Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 667 - 666: It’s All Fake

"But this Golden Winged Cloud Peng is just too strong, I know you’re strong, but..."

Tang Qingyu seemed to want to say something else, but Xu Ping’an waved his hand and cut her off.

In the distance, Song Kaitian, Du Yuan, and Yu Chenglin all flew over, converging beside Xu Ping’an.

"You’ve broken through to the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm?" Song Kaitian exclaimed in surprise.

Because when they had parted ways earlier, Xu Ping’an had only been at the Ninth Rank Fourth Layer Realm, and in less than a day, he had actually broken through to the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm?

Yu Chenglin was also somewhat surprised, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Du Yuan’s eyes were even wider, his shock beyond measure.

What kind of advancement speed was this?

"I had a bit of an opportunity, so I consecutively broke through three layers," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"I see," Song Kaitian and the others nodded.

The crowd below, however, was full of astonishment.

"Xu Ping’an actually broke through to the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm, isn’t the speed too fast?" Long Zhan said.

"Indeed very fast, he’s almost catching up to my brother," Yu Chenshan also said in surprise.

"My master has always been strong, with this breakthrough, he must be even more formidable," Song Lingxue said proudly.

"No matter how formidable, can he defeat the Golden Winged Cloud Peng? He’s just a Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm, still far from the Eleventh Rank Golden Winged Cloud Peng," Tang Jun said, speechless.

In his view, whether Xu Ping’an was Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm or Ninth Rank Fourth Layer Realm, there was no difference.

Both were simply matters of being slain by the Golden Winged Cloud Peng with a single slap.

Just wait for the time to flee, definitely cannot draw the attention of the Golden Winged Cloud Peng.

These people insisted on staying to seek death; he didn’t want to accompany them.

Xu Ping’an was unaware of the happenings below, at this moment he had already turned his head to look at the Golden Winged Cloud Peng, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Xu Ping’an, let’s join forces," Song Kaitian said.

"No need, I alone am enough," Xu Ping’an shook his head and said.

"Alone? You want to face the Golden Winged Cloud Peng by yourself?" Song Kaitian looked at Xu Ping’an in disbelief.

"Yes, alone is enough," Xu Ping’an said.

"This is the Eleventh Rank Golden Winged Cloud Peng, do you want to fight it by yourself?" Yu Chenglin said, even more astonished.

Du Yuan, however, did not speak, because he knew that Xu Ping’an had already fought the Golden Winged Cloud Peng on his own before.

But he hadn’t witnessed the battle, so he didn’t know how Xu Ping’an had managed to survive under the Golden Winged Cloud Peng’s claws.

"You all step back, whether I can fight it or not, you’ll naturally find out soon enough," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

He paid no further attention to Song Kaitian and Yu Chenglin.

This scene, however, was observed by the many onlookers below, causing them to be filled with wonder.

One person to battle the Golden Winged Cloud Peng?

Has Xu Ping’an lost his mind?

Or has his cultivation grown so rapidly that he’s become arrogant?

"Pssh, he’s just trying to show off in front of us. Once he sees the true strength of the Golden Winged Cloud Peng, he’ll realize how ridiculous his words are," Tang Jun said with a sneer.

"Tang Jun, don’t go too far," Song Lingxue said through gritted teeth, angrily looking at Tang Jun.

Tang Jun, however, remained disdainful.

The crowd fell silent.

Though they found Tang Jun’s words unpleasant, there was some truth to them.

Xu Ping’an was indeed being rash.

"Let’s go, we shouldn’t disturb him," Tang Qingyu hesitated before speaking.

"But..." Yu Chenglin wanted to say more, but seeing that Tang Qingyu had already flown down to the ground, he had no choice but to give up and follow along.

Du Yuan and Song Kaitian had no choice but to follow along.

Thus, in the sky above, only Xu Ping’an and the Golden Winged Cloud Peng remained.

"Human child, we meet again. I thought you’d keep hiding and not come out," the Golden Winged Cloud Peng said with a light chuckle.

"Why would I? Your earlier assault left me in great pain; I’ve kept that grudge in mind—how could I not seek revenge?" Xu Ping’an replied with a smile.

"Arrogant boy, do you really think that by breaking through to the Third Layer Realm, you can fight me? The gap between us is far greater than you think," the Golden Winged Cloud Peng said with a laugh.

"Then try me," Xu Ping’an said, chuckling lightly.

"I want to see what gives you the audacity," the Golden Winged Cloud Peng huffed coldly.

Instantly, its figure shot out explosively, disappearing in a flash and reappearing right in front of Xu Ping’an.

Its claws, augmented with terrifying Vigor Qi and containing powerful demon yuan fluctuations, ferociously reached out to grab Xu Ping’an.

This claw nearly tore the very void apart.

The onlookers below felt a tingling on their scalps at the sight.

Especially Song Kaitian and the others.

Being faced with such an attack, they would undoubtedly be dead.

It seemed the Golden Winged Cloud Peng had truly been toying with them before.

They wondered if Xu Ping’an could withstand this strike.

However, just as everyone was sweating coldly for Xu Ping’an,

Xu Ping’an’s lips curled into a cold smile, "You think such an attack can kill me? Golden Winged Cloud Peng, you’re really underestimating me too much. Let me show you my true power."

No sooner had he finished speaking,

than the Grand Circulation naturally operated within Xu Ping’an’s body, and a tremendous force burst forth instantly.

Every muscle and bone in Xu Ping’an’s body, along with his True Yuan and True Power, erupted like a volcano, gathering at once in his fist.

"Boom!"

He threw a punch, and the power exploded instantaneously, striking directly on the Golden Winged Cloud Peng’s claw.

"Crack!"

A clear sound of bone breaking rang out.

The crowd then saw the bones in the claw of the Golden Winged Cloud Peng snatched and broken by Xu Ping’an’s fist.

The enormous body was thrown backwards, crashing to the ground and rolling for hundreds of meters before coming to a stop.

"What?"

The onlookers watching from below were petrified, staring incredulously at the scene.

Even Qin Mu, who had some understanding of Xu Ping’an’s strength, was shocked beyond measure.

He knew Xu Ping’an possessed Tenth Rank Peak combat power.

But the Golden Winged Cloud Peng had Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm combat power.

There was a huge gap between an Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm and a Tenth Rank Peak.

Furthermore, this Golden Winged Cloud Peng was a demon beast with a powerful Divine Beast Bloodline.

Tang Jun was also standing there with a stupefied expression.

"Impossible, this just can’t be true; it must be fake," he exclaimed in shock.

However, the people around him looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Fake?

Are all of us seeing an illusion?

Even Du Yuan couldn’t help but curse, "Idiot!"

Song Kaitian’s eyes were solemn, filled with a deep sense of defeat.

He had originally thought he had surpassed Xu Ping’an, but he hadn’t realized that he was already far behind him.
