Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 675 - 674: Demon Elephant Tri-Transformation

After briefly interacting with Song Lingxue and Tang Qingyu, Xu Ping’an returned to his room.

Once inside, Xu Ping’an set up some prohibitions around the room and then entered the Demon Elephant Tower.

Demon Elephant Tower, First Layer.

Xu Ping’an was standing in the middle of the main hall, but there was also a figure in front of him.

This figure was none other than Songxiang.

Although Xu Ping’an had not fought Songxiang, their previous physical contact came when he covered Songxiang’s mouth.

Therefore, the Demon Elephant Tower also judged that she could be considered an opponent.

"As expected, Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm," Xu Ping’an said as he looked at Songxiang in front of him.

The Songxiang before him looked exactly the same as the real one, scarcely any difference could be discerned.

Both her aura and strength gave him an extremely real sensation.

"I want to see how strong you really are," Xu Ping’an smiled and said.

He had initially used Thunder Movement Void to appear directly in front of Songxiang.

With a punch thrown, the circulation of energy within his body formed a vast force that instantly turned into a terrifying wave of qi, brutally pressing down on Songxiang.

However, what happened next was beyond Xu Ping’an’s expectations.

Songxiang reacted in an instant, merely slapping out with one palm.

The next moment, it collided with Xu Ping’an’s fist.

Xu Ping’an felt as if his punch had landed on a sponge pad, all his power seemingly absorbed in an instant.

"My power was absorbed? What’s going on?" Xu Ping’an said in surprise.

But before Xu Ping’an could figure it out, a vast force instantly came from Songxiang’s palm.

This force was extremely immense, even more powerful and domineering than the punch Xu Ping’an had just thrown.

"Pfft!"

Xu Ping’an was instantly sent flying, his whole arm exploding into a mist of blood.

"Bang!"

Hitting the wall of the main hall, Xu Ping’an made a huge booming sound.

"What kind of Dao Laws is this, capable of absorbing and returning my power?" Xu Ping’an was astounded.

The reason why Songxiang had absorbed his power was clearly due to some sort of Power of Dao Principles.

Yet, Xu Ping’an had not expected that the power Songxiang returned would be so terrifyingly strong.

It was stronger than the force he had exerted.

"Hum!"

With a thought, Xu Ping’an’s arm grew back once more.

This was the function of the Demon Elephant Tower; any injury could recover in an instant.

"Huh?"

However, Xu Ping’an discovered that Songxiang had disappeared.

Xu Ping’an immediately searched for Songxiang’s location.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he quickly used Thunder Movement Void.

But it was ultimately a step too late.

He saw two things resembling tree branches shooting out from the ground, instantly entangling Xu Ping’an’s legs.

With a fierce pull, Xu Ping’an was dragged to the ground.

Then, several other branches quickly wrapped around Xu Ping’an’s body, making it impossible for him to move.

Xu Ping’an circulated his energy, trying to break free from these constraints with his strength.

But the next moment, he found that his strength was being devoured by these branches.

The branches that devoured Xu Ping’an’s power became even tougher, as hard as divine iron.

"Devouring again, could it be that she has comprehended the Devouring Dao? This is Second Grade Dao Laws." Xu Ping’an was shocked beyond measure.

Had Songxiang comprehended Second Grade Dao Laws?

A Second Grade Dao Laws monster plant, and at the Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm, how could he fight this?

Damn!

Xu Ping’an silently felt alarmed in his heart and quietly felt fortunate that he hadn’t engaged Songxiang today.

Otherwise, he really would have suffered a great loss.

The branches grew increasingly tight, almost completely swallowing up Xu Ping’an.

"Hmph, don’t even think about trapping me," Xu Ping’an snorted coldly.

Chaotic Thunder burst forth from his body in an instant.

The terrifying thunder exploded directly, shattering the branches entwining Xu Ping’an in a single moment.

Xu Ping’an immediately used Thunder Escape to flee through the void.

However, at this moment he felt extremely weak; a considerable amount of his strength had been consumed by the pine’s branches.

If he had to truly fight, he would probably be at a great disadvantage.

"Hmph!"

Yet before Xu Ping’an could catch his breath, a branch shot out like a ghost and pierced through his back in an instant.

"Pfft!"

Xu Ping’an felt his strength crazily draining away in an instant.

Even his vitality was being continuously devoured.

Xu Ping’an tried to mobilize the power of Chaotic Thunder and Chaotic Flame within him, but found he was completely unable to condense it.

This gave rise to a sense of fear in Xu Ping’an’s heart.

"It’s over!"

Xu Ping’an hastily commanded the Demon Elephant Tower to stop.

The figure of the pine disappeared.

Everything returned to calm, and Xu Ping’an’s wounds healed completely in an instant.

But Xu Ping’an’s heart still trembled with residual fear.

It was too terrifying.

That pine was very strong.

As she said, she was at least at the Tenth Rank Third Layer Realm, and her Devouring Dao was extremely fearsome.

At this thought, Xu Ping’an felt even more fortunate that he hadn’t made a move.

If there had really been a battle, his chances of winning were less than ten percent, and that was only because he had Chaotic Flame and Chaotic Thunder.

Without these two powers, he would have had almost no chance of winning.

"I never expected this pine to be so terrifyingly strong. It seems I need to find a way to improve myself, or else if she comes looking for trouble again, won’t I be at a great disadvantage?" Xu Ping’an murmured to himself.

Then he went straight to the Third Layer of the Demon Elephant Tower.

Without hesitation, Xu Ping’an took out the Demon Elephant Tri-Transformation.

Right now, the only way to rapidly improve his strength was to practice the Demon Elephant Tri-Transformation.

With this in mind, Xu Ping’an began to read.

Soon, the contents of the Demon Elephant Tri-Transformation were completely memorized by him.

And these contents greatly surprised Xu Ping’an.

"Demon Elephant Tri-Transformation is actually about borrowing external forces to strengthen oneself in a short time?" Xu Ping’an mused internally.

In that case, this secret technique was quite suitable for him.

He possessed Chaotic Thunder, Chaotic True Fire, and the sharpest Mysterious Yellow Qi in the world.

All three forces could be borrowed.

He had never before thought of a proper way to utilize these three forces.

Now, it seemed entirely possible to merge these three forces to complete the Demon Elephant Tri-Transformation.

With this thought, Xu Ping’an was overjoyed.

If he could use these three forces to complete the Demon Elephant Tri-Transformation, wouldn’t his strength increase dramatically in an instant?

With this thought, Xu Ping’an immediately began attempting to draw out the Chaotic Thunder for the First Transformation of the Demon Elephant.

However, practicing the Demon Elephant Tri-Transformation was not so easy.

The first time, Xu Ping’an tried to merge the Chaotic Thunder with his flesh and blood to stimulate greater potential, but he soon failed.

"Again!"

Xu Ping’an was not discouraged in the least and immediately began to try again.

After failing, he continued to try, persistently attempting to draw the Chaotic Thunder to strengthen his Physical Body.

After countless attempts, Xu Ping’an finally mastered the technique and began to get proficient.
