Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 693 - 692: The Terrifying Valley

```

"Buzz!"

A gigantic Flame Sword descended from the heavens, slashing directly downward.

Its Karmic Fire was terrifyingly powerful, inducing a numbness on one’s scalp.

Even Xu Ping’an felt his heart skip a beat.

If we talk about sins, he had his share, and not a few had died by his hands.

Although the majority of these people had deserved their deaths, some had not truly warranted death for their sins.

Hence, Xu Ping’an himself bore sins, and this Red Lotus Karmic Fire did indeed harm him somewhat.

Of course, such damage was limited, for his strength was more than enough to disregard this level of Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

"Die!"

Du Bingxin roared loudly.

That huge Flame Sword then aimed directly for the Yin Sha Fruit Tree’s trunk.

The Yin Sha Fruit Tree sensed a thick presence of death and its branches, like countless red snakes, shot out wildly towards the blazing Sharp Sword.

Yet, these branches were no match for the Blazing Sword of Karma.

They even fueled the Blazing Sword of Karma further.

Hundreds of branches were utterly incinerated by the Karmic Fire.

The Flame Sword’s assault did not weaken in the slightest, heading straight for the Yin Sha Fruit Tree.

"Roar!"

The Yin Sha Fruit Tree let out a reluctant roar.

The terrifying roar was as piercing as a woman’s scream.

"Bang!"

But the Blazing Sword of Karma showed no mercy, falling with one stroke and cleaving the Yin Sha Fruit Tree in two.

"Is it dead?" Xu Ping’an and Yin Xue exchanged glances, a hint of surprise on their faces.

This Blazing Sword of Karma was indeed fearsome; the Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm Yin Sha Fruit Tree was no match in the face of this Karmic Fire.

"Buzz!"

The form of the Yin Sha Fruit Tree burned to ashes, turning to dust.

Only three Yin Sha Blood Fruits remained.

"We did it." Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun were overjoyed.

"Buzz!"

Du Bingxin then collected the three Yin Sha Blood Fruits into her bag.

"Master, you’re not going to fight for them?" Yin Xue communicated telepathically.

"No need, it’s unnecessary," Xu Ping’an shook his head.

Although the three Yin Sha Blood Fruits could aid in strengthening him, the help wasn’t significant.

To make enemies with the Immortal Hall’s Sun Moon Lodge over three Yin Sha Blood Fruits was an unwise decision.

"Boom, boom!"

Just then, a rumbling noise came from within the valley.

Xu Ping’an and the others all furrowed their brows, looking towards the interior of the valley.

Du Bingxin and the others were also drawn by the commotion, turning their gaze to the depths of the valley.

Dust flew about, and the ground quaked continuously.

It seemed as though a large mass of something was rushing towards them.

"What’s happening, a monster tide?" Pan Zhen asked in astonishment.

Du Bingxin and the others looked equally clueless.

However, at this moment, the expressions on the faces of Yin Xue and Xu Ping’an changed drastically.

"Run." Xu Ping’an immediately shouted.

He and Yin Xue then swiftly flew towards the outside of the valley.

"Huh?" Du Bingxin and the others were puzzled.

But they quickly narrowed their eyes, their faces reflecting immense shock.

Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun were astonished, their faces showing a thick shock.

Before them now, a massive number of Yin Sha Fruit Trees were stampeding their way.

Endless and countless, no fewer than a thousand.

Moreover, each of these Yin Sha Fruit Trees bore Yin Sha Blood Fruits.

"How many Yin Sha Blood Fruits is that? Over ten thousand, surely," Pan Zhen said.

```

```

"Definitely, look at that Yin Sha Fruit Tree, it’s twice the size of the ones we killed, and that one alone has produced ten fruits," Tong Jianjun said.

"What are you babbling about? Run now! Do you want to be dismembered by these Yin Sha Fruit Trees?" Du Bingxin couldn’t help but curse, then quickly dashed toward the entrance of the valley.

"Sister Du, you can’t defeat them? But your Red Lotus Karmic Fire could burn a large area at once," he added.

Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun also hurried to follow Du Bingxin’s lead.

Du Bingxin gave them a glance.

Do you think my Red Lotus Karmic Fire is Divine Fire?

With so many Yin Sha Fruit Trees, the force of their Yin Sha could easily extinguish her Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

It’s not just about burning a large area; the very density of this Yin Sha force prevents her Fire Lotus Karmic Fire from even getting close to these Yin Sha Fruit Trees.

After all, such a number of Yin Sha Fruit Trees, forming such a terrifying force of Yin Sha.

Unless her control over the force of Yin Sha reached the Eleventh Rank Peak, attempting to contend with so many Yin Sha Fruit Trees would be suicidal.

The Yin Sha Fruit Trees chased furiously behind as Xu Ping’an and his group made a swift escape.

They soon arrived at the entrance of the valley, crossing the boundary marked by the Stele.

And the Yin Sha Fruit Trees had already caught up.

"Hum!"

However, just at that moment, the ancient Stele, seemingly void of any energy fluctuations, suddenly burst into a powerful radiance.

Boom!

A powerful surge of energy instantly obliterated the leading dozen Yin Sha Fruit Trees.

The remaining Yin Sha Fruit Trees braked sharply, not daring to move even a Semi-Step forward.

Xu Ping’an and his group, witnessing this scene, also let out a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the Stele is a barrier, meant to prevent these Yin Sha Fruit Trees from escaping. However, the valley is terrifyingly horrifying to contain so many Yin Sha Fruit Trees," Yin Xue said.

Du Bingxin and the others also breathed easier, narrowly avoiding being caught.

Had they been caught by those Yin Sha Fruit Trees, death would have been almost certain.

"Luckily, we were barely missed being caught. Once caught, it would’ve been the end," Pan Zhen remarked.

He even felt the branches of the Yin Sha Fruit Trees mere meters away from him at one point.

Had he been any slower, he might have been pulled back by the branches of the Yin Sha Fruit Trees.

"What exactly is going on with this valley? Why are there so many Yin Sha Fruit Trees, and why are they all so terrifying? This valley is too dreadful. If not for this Stele’s barrier, we would all be dead," Tong Jianjun said.

"What a pity, that barrier not only destroyed those Yin Sha Fruit Trees but also obliterated their Yin Sha Blood Fruits along with them. Otherwise, with so many Yin Sha Fruit Trees, there’d be at least twenty Yin Sha Blood Fruits," Pan Zhen lamented, looking at the pulverized remains of the Yin Sha Fruit Trees.

"This place seems extremely unusual; after we return, we must report to the Immortal Hall," Du Bingxin declared.

Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun nodded in agreement.

The valley indeed held a sinister secret, perhaps a vast one.

But it was no longer within their capability to explore, as they could not even handle these Yin Sha Fruit Trees.

Let alone the greater secrets that surely lay behind the Yin Sha Fruit Trees.

"This is your second Ascension Immortal Pill; we must thank you this time. Our mission is also considered complete," Du Bingxin handed Xu Ping’an and his group another Ascension Immortal Pill, speaking up.

Xu Ping’an and the others accepted the Ascension Immortal Pill, a look of surprise on their faces.

Du Bingxin was actually giving them the Ascension Immortal Pill just like that?

He had even thought Du Bingxin and her group might kill them to silence.

"Sister Du, I don’t think we should let them leave," Tong Jianjun suddenly said.

"Yes, such a huge secret of the valley, if they were to spread it, it would be detrimental to us," Pan Zhen added.

Xu Ping’an’s eyebrows rose, this was the expected reasoning.

However, Du Bingxin dismissed the suggestion with a wave of her hand, "No need, even if they talk, it won’t matter. The secrets of this place simply aren’t within the reach of the ordinary."

"But..." Tong Jianjun tried to argue.

But Du Bingxin seemed resolute, looking coldly at Tong Jianjun.

He immediately fell silent.

Xu Ping’an looked at Du Bingxin with some surprise, realizing that perhaps this woman wasn’t as heartless as he thought.

If they had dared to make a move, he would have definitely left them behind in this place.

"Ha-ha, who would have thought there would be such secrets here? Since that’s the case, none of you need to leave," a loud laughter echoed just then.

Du Bingxin and the others’ faces instantly changed.

Xu Ping’an and Yin Xue exchanged a look, with a hint of amusement inside.

As expected, someone had arrived!
