Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 671 - 670: Mysterious Woman

"What’s wrong?" Tang Qing Yu noticed that Xu Ping’an was acting strangely and asked anxiously.

"It’s nothing, just a rat following us, no big deal," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"A rat?" Tang Qing Yu’s expression grew serious.

They had just entered the Spirit Realm, so how had they been targeted so quickly?

Standing by, Du Yuan also furrowed his brows, seemingly coming to some realization.

"Brother Du, why don’t you take them to our lodging first? I’ll go meet this rat," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Be careful, they might be from the Immortal Hall," Du Yuan warned.

He had originally thought those extra spots obtained by the Mortal Realm were somewhat wasteful, but all along the way,

he discovered that besides Xu Ping’an, people like Tang Qing Yu and Song Kaitian also possessed great potential.

Not to mention the monstrous talent that Xu Ping’an represented?

That’s why he offered the reminder.

"From the Immortal Hall? I understand," Xu Ping’an said with a faint smile.

Indeed, those guys wouldn’t easily let the people from the Mortal Realm claim those spots.

But isn’t this a little too impatient?

There was still half a year to go, and they had started to make their move even before they reached the Immortal Hall?

This was a clear sign that they did not take them seriously at all!

Xu Ping’an chuckled softly, and with a flash of thunder, he vanished into thin air the next moment.

Du Yuan and the others were taken aback, their faces revealing shock.

They hadn’t seen how Xu Ping’an had disappeared.

Song Kaitian’s expression turned extremely grave as he exchanged a glance with Yu Chenglin, both of their eyes filled with wry smiles.

The gap between them was not small at all!

...

Inside a secluded forest in Songmu City,

Xu Ping’an flew in, stopped, and waited in silence.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before a figure caught up.

"Fellow, you’ve been following us for quite a while, what’s your purpose?" Xu Ping’an said, laughing lightly.

The other party seemed somewhat surprised, not expecting that this young man would have discovered their tracking.

"So, you deliberately left the group alone to lure me here?" the middle-aged man asked in astonishment.

"What else would you think? Don’t you find me easy to kill when I’m alone?" Xu Ping’an said with a light chuckle.

"Since you know, do you still dare to come here seeking death?" the middle-aged man sneered coldly, his eyes revealing a trace of chill.

However, he was scanning the surroundings with his Soul Power.

"You don’t need to look around, there’s no one else here, only me," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

The middle-aged man grew even more astonished; he had checked and indeed there was no ambush.

But how could a Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm youngster dare to lure him here alone? It was quite strange.

"Speak, who sent you? If you tell me and choose not to attack, I might spare your life," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Spare my life? Kid, are you joking? Do you really think Yuan Qipeng here is a three-year-old child?" the middle-aged man said, scoffing.

"It looks like you won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin," Xu Ping’an laughed softly.

The next moment, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

The middle-aged man was suddenly startled.

In the next instant, his pupils shrank dramatically as he found that this Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm ant had appeared right in front of him.

Then, before he could resist, the other party stretched out a hand lightning-fast, gripping his neck with a nearly terrifying force, instantly immobilizing all the power in his body.

"How... how is this possible?" Yuan Qipeng was utterly shocked, feeling the power within his body being completely locked down, unable to even utilize the Power of Dao Principles, his heart roiling like a tempest.

How could this be possible?

Was he, a Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm, just strangled by the neck without any power to fight back?

If it weren’t for his own experience, even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn’t dare believe it.

"Do you still think I’m joking now?" Xu Ping’an laughed lightly.

Although he did not deliberately release any oppressive aura, the terrifying demeanor flowing from his entire body still left Yuan Qipeng in utter fear.

This aura was too terrifying; at this moment, he felt as if he were not facing a human, but a primordial ancient beast of incomparable horror.

"You... you’re not Ninth Rank, you’re an Eleventh Rank powerhouse," Yuan Qipeng hastily said.

In his eyes, only an Eleventh Rank powerhouse could exude such terrifying pressure.

"Think what you will, I’m only giving you one chance. Tell me who sent you. If you don’t, then prepare to die," Xu Ping’an’s eyes were like blades, and a sharp murderous intent burst forth from him.

Yuan Qipeng instantly felt a chill in his heart.

"It was... it was Young Master Feng who sent me," the other party hurriedly said.

Too terrifying.

His gaze made him shiver all over, even his spine felt ice-cold.

Keep in mind, he was a Tenth Rank Sixth Layer Realm powerhouse, able to make him feel this way, the other person’s strength had to far surpass his by a lot.

Therefore, he did not dare to hide anything and responded immediately.

He knew that if he didn’t speak, the other party would surely kill him.

"Who is Young Master Feng?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"Young Master Feng is the son of the master of Tianqing Hall of the Immortal Hall, ranked sixty-fifth on the genius list, with exceptional talent and extremely strong gifts; he has already reached the Tenth Rank Sixth Layer Realm in cultivation at the young age of twenty-four," Yuan Qipeng said.

"Tenth Rank Sixth Layer Realm? Sixty-fifth on the genius list? Not so impressive after all," Xu Ping’an laughed lightly again.

Yuan Qipeng wanted to say something more, but as he glanced at the young man before him,

he found that the young man seemed even younger than Young Master Feng, and was incredibly shocked.

An Eleventh Rank powerhouse younger than Young Master Feng?

How is that possible?

This level of cultivation at this age could probably put him in the top ten on the genius list, right?

Is this guy really from the Mortal Realm?

"Did this Young Master Feng send you to kill us for the Reincarnation God Ruins’ spot?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.

"You know?" Yuan Qipeng exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Ping’an chuckled.

"Do you have any other useful information?" Xu Ping’an said.

"No... there’s no more," the other party responded.

In Xu Ping’an’s eyes, a hint of cold light flashed momentarily.

Suddenly, an overwhelming force surged out, instantly twisting Yuan Qipeng’s neck, and shattering his Soul Entity.

After doing all this, Xu Ping’an casually tossed Yuan Qipeng’s body aside.

However, Xu Ping’an did not leave but spoke coldly, "Since you’ve seen everything, why not show yourself? Or do you want me to take action?"

As his voice fell, a petite figure finally jumped down from a large tree in the distance.

"I wasn’t eavesdropping on purpose; I’ve been here for a while," the person hurriedly explained.

Xu Ping’an looked at the newcomer.

It was a young woman who appeared to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

She was extremely pretty, like a porcelain doll.

However, the aura about her gave Xu Ping’an a profound feeling, and even he could not see through her cultivation level.

At this moment, the young woman wore a look of terror on her face, seemingly very wary of Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an, however, slightly frowned.

His Soul Power had failed to detect her.

If it weren’t for the slight spatial fluctuation she caused at the end, he would not have noticed her presence at all.

"This woman is definitely not simple," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

He even sensed a dangerous aura coming from her.
