Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 681 - 680: The Terrible Pine Resin

"Huh?"

Song Xiang felt utterly frustrated at this moment.

She had the sense that she had missed something, her eyes filled with intense confusion.

How could this guy’s soul entity leave his body and run in front of her to self-destruct?

Was he trying to attract the attention of the people above with this act?

To use such a method to perish together with her?

"Ridiculous, what an idiot. Lucky for me, I had already laid down a prohibition spell around us; your self-destruction won’t possibly catch the attention of those above. You want to die together with me? Truly foolishly laughable."

As Song Xiang came to this conclusion, she spoke disdainfully.

She thought over and over again, and finally still believed there was only this possibility.

Although she didn’t understand why Xu Ping’an would choose to self-destruct his soul entity, she supposed her guess about his intent was not wrong.

And she had long since set up a prohibition spell, so not a hint of the disturbance here could get out.

...

Just as Song Xiang regarded Xu Ping’an’s actions as idiotic, a smile appeared on Xu Ping’an’s face.

"Song Xiang is somewhat clever to have set up a prohibition spell in advance. My soul entity’s self-destruction didn’t cause the slightest stir, but what you failed to consider is that it wasn’t just my soul entity that self-destructed," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

With this thought, Xu Ping’an looked towards the front where people from Jade Immortal Sect and others were fighting.

Just as an old man, who was about to defeat the Jade Immortal Sect, was bewildered and stopped, his hand now held a broken jade pendant.

At this moment, the jade pendant was shattered and the soul breath on it had dissipated.

"Ding Yuan is dead?" Two elders at the Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm said in surprise.

"Ding Yuan died; he couldn’t have really died on a woman’s belly, could he?" Du Qijun said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him.

Du Qijun immediately clamped his mouth shut.

"Was someone killed by Ding Yuan?" A disciple named Lu Jian asked.

"Was he killed at the old temple?" A woman with the surname Fang asked.

"No, it’s underground, someone is underground," the white-haired elder said, suddenly turning a piercing gaze towards the ground beneath his feet.

"Underground?" Everyone was clearly startled.

Who could it be that was hiding deep underground?

Before the people could hesitate, the elder made a fierce move, punching the ground.

"Boom!"

A thunderous sound shook the heavens.

The earth seemed to tremble violently, a powerful wave reaching into the underground.

"Damn it!"

Song Xiang cursed in the dark.

She couldn’t understand why she had been found even though she had clearly laid down a prohibition spell.

Was it because of the soul entity that had just been blown up together?

Was the destroyed soul entity someone from Jade Immortal Sect?

At this thought, Song Xiang instantly understood.

But by this moment, the vibrations coming from underground were overwhelmingly strong.

Underground she could no longer hide, or she would be nothing but a sitting duck.

So she could only rush out from underground to appear in the view of all.

"It really is you; I knew you were not so easy to capture. It seems the one we have been battling with was a fake," the elder said, his eyes suddenly bursting with intense fury upon seeing the figure of Song Xiang.

Yet Song Xiang displayed utter contempt.

If it weren’t for that kid messing things up, you wouldn’t have found out.

"We have been fighting a demonic plant that turned out to be fake; then who is she?" Du Qijun said in surprise, looking at the original Song Xiang.

"Idiot, that’s a clone," the woman with the surname Fang couldn’t help but blurt out.

Instantly, Du Qijun had a realization.

They had been fighting until now with just a clone?

"So it was Ding Yuan who discovered her real body, sneaked underground, and was killed by her?" Du Qijun asked.

The Fang-named woman and others fell silent.

Discovered by Ding Yuan?

Is that possible?

Did that guy really have such ability?

But if it wasn’t Ding Yuan who found out, how could Ding Yuan have died underground?

"Perhaps it was a coincidence. Ding Yuan just happened upon it, and in the end, she discovered him and killed him to silence him," Lu Jian speculated.

Du Qijun nodded, feeling that it made a lot of sense.

Although Elder Mo and the others felt something was off, they couldn’t pinpoint the problem at the moment.

Meanwhile, Xu Ping’an in the shadows was taking in all these details, a smile appearing on his face.

"As expected, I still managed to force you out. Now the real show begins," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

However, soon Xu Ping’an frowned.

Because he discovered that Song Xiang’s soul power was searching around.

Clearly, this person did not fully believe that he was dead and was looking for his figure.

But now, with the Demon Elephant Tower concealing his presence, Song Xiang would never be able to find him.

"Could he really be dead? But that doesn’t quite make sense, why would he want to harm me in this way?" At this moment, Song Xiang was endlessly frustrated.

She suspected that Xu Ping’an was not dead, so she carefully searched the surroundings.

But she found no trace of Xu Ping’an.

This made her very frustrated.

If Xu Ping’an were truly dead, it wouldn’t make logical sense.

If he weren’t dead, she had seen with her own eyes his soul entity self-destruct.

Can one survive after self-destructing their soul entity?

Xu Ping’an saw the frustrated expression on Song Xiang’s face and his own face grew even more smug.

Couldn’t figure it out?

That’s right, you couldn’t.

Fight, you must fight until you are both badly injured. How else can I benefit?

However, soon a smile appeared on Song Xiang’s lips.

"Demoness, you killed a disciple of the Jade Immortal Sect, today you must pay the price," Elder Mo shouted.

Then he launched himself at Song Xiang.

Song Xiang immediately withdrew her avatar upon seeing this and erupting with a powerful Dao Law fluctuation, she engaged in combat with Elder Mo.

"Boom!"

Song Xiang punched out, directly sending Elder Mo flying.

Clearly, Elder Mo was at a disadvantage; the strength he had used was actually devoured by Song Xiang.

Then, it was returned to him with even greater power by Song Xiang.

"Pfft!"

Mo Yun spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes filled with astonishment as he looked towards Song Xiang.

"Devouring Dao Laws? You’ve actually comprehended the Dao Laws of Devouring?" Elder Mo said in surprise to Song Xiang.

"Hmph, only now you realize," Song Xiang snorted coldly.

Immediately, she attacked Elder Mo again.

This time, Song Xiang alone pressed down on Elder Mo, making him continuously retreat in defeat.

Even when two other Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm members intervened, they were also suppressed.

This turned the situation completely opposite to the previous battle with her avatar.

Song Xiang alone suppressed the three of them, beating them so much that they kept vomiting blood.

Xu Ping’an, witnessing this scene, also revealed an astonished expression.

Song Xiang’s strength was truly formidable.

Feared that she hadn’t even displayed her full power inside the Demon Elephant Tower.
