Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 689 - 688: Karmic Fire Dao Laws

Du Bingxin’s sword was as fast as lightning, swiftly slashing and turning into a sky full of sword shadows.

With each sweep of Sword Radiance, at least ten or more Yin Sha Bone Soldiers were slain.

However, the number of Yin Sha Bone Soldiers was simply too great.

By now, the number of Yin Sha Bone Soldiers charging at them was already no less than a thousand.

"Damn it, there are so many bone soldiers, and their combat power is so strong; if this goes on, our Immortal Elemental will eventually become exhausted," Pan Zhen cursed under his breath.

"Less nonsense, kill them quickly, break through, and perhaps there will be a slim chance of survival," Tong Jianjun shouted, his battle blade continuously waving in his hand.

The trio continuously slew the Yin Sha Bone Soldiers from three different directions.

Xu Ping’an and Yin Xue, on the other hand, were quite relaxed.

They stood inside the encirclement formed by the trio, hardly affected by the attacks of the Yin Soldiers.

"Master, these Yin Sha Bone Soldiers were likely cultivated by that Corpse Puppet and have transformed from people who had once entered this place," Yin Xue communicated through a mental message.

Xu Ping’an nodded; these Yin Soldiers were not much of a threat to him.

It was just that with Du Bingxin and the others present, it was not convenient for him to act since, after all, he was only of the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm in cultivation.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a Yin Soldier broke through Pan Zhen’s defense and sped towards Xu Ping’an.

The Yin Soldier held a Bone Knife and quickly slashed at Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an watched the attacking Yin Soldier, whose combat power was comparable to the Tenth Rank First Layer Realm.

At this moment, with a slash coming at him, a Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm was certainly unable to block it.

Xu Ping’an’s brow furrowed slightly, hesitating whether or not to act.

If he acted and blew up the Yin Soldier, he could easily reveal his strength and arouse suspicion.

Even using a movement technique would lead to suspicion.

But if he did not act, the attack of the Yin Soldier would land on him.

While it would not be fatal, it would certainly result in an injury.

As the Bone Knife of the Yin Sha Bone Soldier drew closer and closer, Xu Ping’an’s mind raced, seeking a way to break the deadlock.

"Boom!"

However, just as Xu Ping’an hesitated, a Sword Radiance flashed by instantaneously, directly slaying the Yin Soldier.

Xu Ping’an looked at the person who had acted, and it was Du Bing’er who stood beside him.

"If you don’t want to die, stay closer to me," Du Bing’er commanded.

She then promptly continued to strike at the incoming Yin Soldiers.

Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun, on the other hand, looked at Xu Ping’an with disdain and then turned away.

A thought flickered through Xu Ping’an’s mind; that Yin Soldier had been deliberately let in by Pan Zhen to test him.

Obviously, he wanted to use this opportunity to see if both he and Yin Xue were hiding their true strength.

"This guy is quite crafty, trying to test your strength, Master. Luckily Du Bing’er acted, or else I would have hardly been able to stop myself from acting," Yin Xue said through a mental message.

"It must have been Tong Jianjun’s idea. That guy is extremely cautious, and it seems he wanted to check if we were hiding any strength," Xu Ping’an said.

It looked like he had passed this test.

"This can’t go on, I’ll use the Power of Dao Principles to slay all these Yin Soldiers," Du Bingxin said with intense eyes.

Upon saying this, a potent and fiercely hot aura surged forth from her.

An immensely strong Fire Attribute Dao Principle power radiated from her body.

This flame, although not too high in temperature, gave one a tingling sensation on the scalp.

"Karmic Fire Dao Principle?" Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised.

He had not expected Du Bingxin to have comprehended the Red Lotus Karma Fire Dao Principle.

The so-called Karmic Fire Principle is in fact a terrifying flame capable of burning away any evil forces.

This fire’s power receives a significant boost when it encounters the force of malevolent spirits.

As long as your hands have been stained with blood, you will be scorched by Karmic Fire, endlessly, until you are burned to ashes.

The harm inflicted by the power of Karmic Fire is immense, and as her control over the Karmic Fire Principle grows stronger, so does its prowess become even more fearsome.

In other words, Du Bingxin is the absolute nemesis of all ghostly creatures.

"Purify Hell," Du Bingxin snorted coldly.

After speaking, an incomparable fluctuation suddenly erupted from the Sharp Sword in her hand.

With both hands on her sword, Du Bingxin thrust it directly into the ground.

"Buzz!"

The dreadful Karmic Fire burst forth in an instant like thousands of serpents flashing out.

As soon as these flames touched the Yin Sha Bone Soldiers, they ignited like fire meeting oil, bursting into flames immediately.

"Ah!"

The Yin Sha Bone Soldiers let out pitiful screams.

Under the incineration of Karmic Fire, they had no power to resist at all, their bones were burned into ashes.

Even their souls turned to ash under the power of Karmic Fire.

In just a moment, all the white-boned Yin Soldiers had vanished, reduced to mounds of black ash.

"Is this the power of Karmic Fire, Second Grade Dao Principle?" Xu Ping’an marveled in his heart.

Within the Fire Attribute Dao Principles, there are ten Flame Dao Principles that are extremely powerful.

Mastering these ten Flame Dao Principles is as if being aided by the gods themselves.

And Du Bing’er’s mastery of Karmic Fire is one of them, specifically a powerful weapon against these kinds of Yin Sha.

"No wonder she dared to come here, having mastered the Power of Dao Principles such as the Red Lotus Karmic Fire," Yin Xue communicated telepathically.

"Aren’t you afraid of this flame?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"I am afraid, of course, but it’s not as terrifying as your Chaotic Divine Fire. It targets Yin Sha forces, and I am not a malevolent spirit. However, we of the Wood Attribute naturally fear fire," Yin Xue conveyed through mental transmission.

Xu Ping’an nodded.

The so-called flame is essentially a manifestation of Dao Principle power, the force of the laws of heaven and earth.

The Chaotic True Fire he possesses is also an embodiment of Dao Principle.

Furthermore, his Chaotic Thunder and the profound energies of heaven and earth are all Powers of Dao Principles.

What he possesses are mere rudiments of this force, and he has not yet mastered these Dao Principles.

Of course, should he wish to master these Dao Powers, it would be much easier for him than for others.

But these were not his desires, and thus he had not pursued this path.

However, Du Bingxin’s mastery of the Karmic Fire Dao Principle was already quite remarkable.

"Junior Sister Du, your Dao Principle is indeed powerful, dealing with these Yin beings is like taking candy from a baby," Pan Zhen hurriedly praised.

"Yes, Junior Sister Du’s power of Karmic Fire truly is the bane of these creatures, no wonder the Immortal Hall assigned you this mission," Tong Jianjun also added.

Despite their compliments, Du Bingxin’s face remained proud, and she did not relax her vigilance, "Let’s keep moving forward. I sense something unusual about this place, and the mission might not be as simple as we think."

"Alright," Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun nodded in agreement.

Then Du Bingxin looked towards Xu Ping’an and Yin Xue and said, "You two, stick close to me. If you get killed, don’t blame me."

"Certainly, certainly," Xu Ping’an quickly replied.

Hearing this, Du Bingxin did not say anything more and continued onwards.

Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun wore faint smiles on their faces, glancing at Xu Ping’an and Yin Xue with a more relaxed look.
