Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 678 - 677: I Want Your Life

Within the dense forest, trees grew thickly with a profusion of branches and lush leaves.

Occasionally, from the depths of the dense forest, the roar of beasts could still be heard.

A few hundred meters into the forest, there was almost a ruined temple.

Ding Yuan waved his hand, throwing Tang Qingyu and Song Lingxue onto the pile of grass in the dilapidated temple, with a fierce and evil intent on his face.

Tang Qingyu and Song Lingxue both had dramatically changed complexions, their eyes filled with panic.

At this moment, their cultivation was sealed, rendering them no different from ordinary people.

In front of Ding Yuan, who was at the Tenth Rank, they had absolutely no power to fight back and were at his mercy to be slaughtered.

"Heh heh, two little beauties, who among you wants to start first, or do you want to go together?" Ding Yuan said with a cold laugh.

"Hmph, don’t even think about it, we would rather die than give in to you," Song Lingxue said through clenched teeth.

"Die? Do you even have the right to die in front of me? Let’s start with you, and as for the other beauty, you just wait," Ding Yuan said with a light chuckle.

After speaking, a surge of Immortal Elemental Power enveloped Tang Qingyu and pinned her against the wall.

Meanwhile, Ding Yuan himself started walking step by step towards Song Lingxue.

He did not restrain Song Lingxue because he liked to watch women struggle in front of him.

The pleasure of conquest was much more enjoyable than dealing with an unresponsive block of wood.

"You... don’t come any closer," Song Lingxue said in terror, retreating again and again.

But Ding Yuan did not listen at all; instead, the more intensely Song Lingxue screamed, the more excited he became.

Tang Qingyu also frowned tightly, her eyes solemn, closing her eyes and not wanting to watch anymore.

"Haha, beauty, as long as you’re obedient, I might spare your life," Ding Yuan said loudly, laughing.

Upon hearing that, Song Lingxue’s eyes filled with venomous resentment, and she immediately attempted to self-destruct out of desperation.

However, it seemed Ding Yuan had anticipated this, and with a sealing technique, he swiftly sealed Song Lingxue’s Soul Power.

Thus, even self-destruction became impossible for Song Lingxue.

Song Lingxue instantly felt despair in her heart.

"Still thinking about self-detonating, did you think I wouldn’t know? Today, no one can save you," Ding Yuan laughed loudly.

After speaking, he was about to pounce on Song Lingxue.

"If you dare touch a hair on her head, I’ll make sure you wish you were dead."

However, at that moment, an extremely icy voice arose within the ancient temple.

"Who?" Ding Yuan turned in alarm, swiftly scanning his surroundings with caution.

Song Lingxue and Tang Qingyu both opened their eyes wide, their eyes sparking with a sharp light.

"It’s him, he’s come," Tang Qingyu immediately exclaimed with joy.

"Master, it’s Master coming to save me, I knew Master would surely come," Song Lingxue wept with joy, overwhelmed with happiness.

"Master?" Ding Yuan was taken aback.

This girl actually had a master?

How could he have failed to notice someone’s approach?

"Just who are you, stop hiding in the shadows. You should know that I am a Core Disciple of the Jade Immortal Sect," Ding Yuan threatened.

"A Core Disciple of the Jade Immortal Sect? Is that supposed to be impressive?"

Xu Ping’an emerged from the shadows, his figure appearing within the ancient temple, looking at Ding Yuan before him with deep disdain in his eyes.

"Master, I’m so glad you’re here," Song Lingxue called out excitedly.

Tang Qingyu also had a face full of joy.

This guy always shows up at the crucial moment.

"You are her master?" Ding Yuan looked at Xu Ping’an with some surprise, soon revealing a look of disdain on his face.

Not because Xu Ping’an was powerful, but because Xu Ping’an was too young.

He had heard "master" and thought some old predecessor had come.

Seeing Xu Ping’an’s appearance, he was a mere twenty years old or so.

Moreover, Xu Ping’an’s cultivation level was only at the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm, which, in his view, was as insignificant as an ant.

"Yes," Xu Ping’an replied.

"I thought some formidable senior had come, but it turns out it’s just an ant at the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm. Boy, you’re trying to take disciples with that level of cultivation; it’s simply a joke," Ding Yuan said with a cold laugh, his eyes full of scornful mockery.

Xu Ping’an’s gaze was icy, watching Ding Yuan bound before him with heavy killing intent.

"How do you want to die?" Xu Ping’an asked coldly.

Ding Yuan was amused. Was he actually asking him how he wanted to die?

A Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm actually threatening him?

"Kid, it looks like you’re tired of living. You’re his master, right? I’m going to cripple your cultivation right now, and let you watch with your own eyes as I torment your disciple," Ding Yuan sneered.

After speaking, a surge of Immortal Elemental Energy instantly transformed into a whip-like force and fiercely struck towards Xu Ping’an.

Having launched the attack, the smile on Ding Yuan’s face grew even wider, as if he had already seen Xu Ping’an crippled by his own Immortal Elemental Energy.

However, when his Immortal Elemental Energy crashed into Xu Ping’an, it was as if it had hit a peerless Divine Weapon.

It didn’t cause any fluctuation whatsoever.

It didn’t even make Xu Ping’an take a semi-step back.

"How... how is this possible?" Ding Yuan’s face showed a look of astonishment.

He wanted to attack again right away.

But suddenly, his vision darkened as a figure appeared directly in front of him.

Ding Yuan was immediately shocked. What kind of speed was this?

"You should die." Before he could react,

Xu Ping’an had already grabbed his arm and with a forceful tug, he tore it off violently.

"Ah!" Ding Yuan screamed in pain.

But the area around them had already been sealed by Xu Ping’an, so there was no way the scream could escape.

"You... if you kill me, the Jade Immortal Sect won’t let you off," Ding Yuan threatened.

"Do you think I would be afraid?" Xu Ping’an scoffed.

After speaking, he exerted force again and ripped off Ding Yuan’s other arm.

Ah!

Ding Yuan’s screams were filled with unimaginable pain, and blood nearly covered the floor.

Even Tang Qingyu and Song Lingxue, who were close by, felt the pain.

"Please... please let me go," Ding Yuan finally became afraid and tried to break free from Xu Ping’an’s restraint.

But Xu Ping’an’s strength was simply too great; even his spiritual pressure made Ding Yuan completely unable to move.

What kind of terrifying power was this?

Ding Yuan roared frantically in his heart, filling him with endless fear.

The feeling Xu Ping’an gave him was not a bit inferior to that elder outside on the boulder.

Too terrifying!

This was clearly not Ninth Rank. It must be Eleventh Rank.

"Hmph!"

Xu Ping’an just snorted coldly, completely disregarding Ding Yuan’s pleas.

He punched him in the abdomen.

"Boom!"

A loud noise followed, and Xu Ping’an’s punch pierced through Ding Yuan’s Pill Sea, causing the Immortal Elemental Energy to dissipate instantly.

"No... you’ve crippled my cultivation, no..." Ding Yuan’s eyes were filled with extreme terror.

At that moment, he was truly afraid.

Xu Ping’an sneered with disdain in his eyes.

"I’m going to do more than just cripple your cultivation. I want your life as well," Xu Ping’an declared as he threw another punch.

It connected with Ding Yuan’s head instantly.

The next moment, Ding Yuan’s skull burst open, and his head exploded, killing him on the spot.

Xu Ping’an reached out into the void and grabbed the Soul Entity of Ding Yuan.

"Please... I’m begging you, don’t kill me, don’t kill me. If you kill me, the elders outside will immediately know," the Soul Entity screamed out in utter terror.

Huh?

Xu Ping’an frowned and suddenly stopped.

This made it truly difficult to just kill the man on the spot.
