Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 695 - 694 Scared to Death

"Xi Han, what’s going on?"

Mo Yun, an elder who was fighting in the distance, also noticed the commotion here and immediately roared.

The death of two disciples in a row was completely beyond his expectation.

These were core disciples of their sect, after all.

Even if they were not the most elite batch, nurturing such a disciple still required a massive amount of resources.

Moreover, talented disciples are hard to come by.

This mission, along with the previous Ding Yuan, had already cost them three disciples.

Even if this mission turned out to be successful, they were likely to face punishment upon their return.

"Huh?" Du Bingxin also looked at Xu Ping’an in surprise.

This guy actually had such a move, killing two Tenth Rank disciples of the Jade Immortal Sect?

Could it be because of that Soul Sword?

Quite interesting, seems like I underestimated this fellow.

But just with his cultivation alone, he won’t be able to turn the tide.

"Elder Mo, it was my oversight, I will personally take action now and slay this thief," Xi Han responded immediately, a strong intent to kill surging in his eyes.

"Hmph, if you cannot kill this child, don’t bother returning to the Jade Immortal Sect," Mo Yun snorted coldly.

"Yes," Xi Han immediately replied.

The next moment, his gaze toward Xu Ping’an was filled with endless killing intent.

"Boy, I underestimated you, I didn’t expect you to have such a treasure with you, now let’s see if you can withstand my attack," Xi Han said with a cold snort.

The next instant, he took a step forward, and a powerful force of Dao Principles surged around his body.

A massive power emerged from him.

With the influx of this power, his body radiated a yellowish glow.

As the Dao Principles operated, Xu Ping’an felt the gravity around his body suddenly increase by nearly a hundredfold.

"Heavy Gravity Dao Principle?" Xu Ping’an said with some surprise.

It turned out that Xi Han wielded the Earth Attribute Heavy Gravity Dao Principle.

A hundredfold gravity was even a bit too much for Xu Ping’an to get used to in an instant.

"Hmph, under my hundredfold gravity, let’s see how you can still use your Soul Sword, die," Xi Han snorted.

He launched a rapid attack on Xu Ping’an, and with one palm strike he brought with him a tremendously strong fluctuation of force.

This one strike was enough to severely injure a regular Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm cultivator.

Xu Ping’an watched as Xi Han’s palm strike came down, with a trace of a barely noticeable smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.

So he thought he could kill him with this?

Did he really think a hundredfold gravity could trap him?

Yet Xu Ping’an simply stood still without moving a muscle.

Elder Xi Han snorted coldly, "Under my hundredfold gravity, it’s probably hard for you even to stand, let alone use a treasure, boy, this is the disparity in realms."

"Is that so? You may be in for a disappointment," Xu Ping’an said with a light laugh.

Xi Han scoffed, disappointment?

What makes you think you can disappoint me?

"Puchi!"

However, in the next moment, his face stiffened instantly.

His charging figure came to an abrupt halt.

He looked in disbelief at the woman who had suddenly appeared behind him, his face showing an incredulous expression.

Because at that moment, a wooden sword was lodged in his chest.

The wooden sword had pierced through his heart, his life force was rapidly draining away at a terrifying speed.

"You... you are... a demon..." Xi Han looked at the woman behind him in disbelief, his eyes filled with intense unwillingness.

"That’s right, I am the demoness you’ve been looking for," Yin Xue said with a light chuckle.

Pulling out the wooden sword, Xi Han’s body immediately fell to the ground.

At this moment, all the Immortal Elemental and Soul Power within Xi Han had been devoured, leaving not even a trace of his life force behind.

His hair had become completely white as snow, and his face was full of wrinkles, as if he had aged tens of thousands of years in an instant.

"What? A demoness?"

The commotion here instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

An Eleventh-Rank First-Layer Realm elder was actually killed?

Even Du Bingxin was completely shocked at this moment.

How terrifying must this woman’s strength be to devour an Eleventh-Rank First-Layer Realm cultivator to nothingness in an instant?

A demoness?

What exactly is her background?

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?"

Pan Zhen, who had been blown away in the distance, wore a face filled with disbelief.

Tong Jianjun’s group also ceased their battle, all of them looking towards Yin Xue in utter shock.

It was one thing for Xu Ping’an to possess a formidable Soul Weapon.

What was the deal with this woman?

She could actually kill a Jade Immortal Sect elder in a second?

"It was you, the woman was actually you in disguise, dammit," Mo Yun roared furiously.

He had completely given up on fighting Du Bingxin and was staring intently at Yin Xue.

Yin Xue had now reverted to her true appearance, her gaze towards Mo Yun laced with a hint of playfulness and mockery.

"Old man, didn’t you want to capture me? This is the price for your attempt," Yin Xue said with a light laugh.

Mo Yun was gritting his teeth, his eyes filled with intense murderous intent.

Jiang Qing, who was wounded, flew over, and both Lu Jian and Zhong Suting stopped their fight to fly over as well.

"Elder Mo, what should we do next?" Lu Jian asked.

"We don’t need to worry about the Immortal Hall’s people for now, catching her is the priority," Elder Mo Yun said.

"Understood," Jiang Qing and the others instantly responded.

Immediately after, their gazes towards Yin Xue became incredibly sharp.

By now, Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun had also flown over to where Du Bingxin was.

All three had sustained varying degrees of injuries, and the expressions on their faces were extremely strange at the moment.

"Sister Du, what’s going on here? It seems these Jade Immortal Sect people want to capture this woman named Yin Xue," Pan Zhen asked, puzzled.

"Yes, it seems they came specifically for her. I never expected her to be so powerful, killing that Jade Immortal Sect elder with a single strike," Tong Jianjun also remarked, surprised.

He had been fighting before and was nearly scared silly by this scene.

A Ninth-Rank cultivator suddenly erupting and slaying an Eleventh-Rank powerhouse.

How could this not shock them?

"This woman was probably an Eleventh-Rank cultivator in her own right; she must have concealed her true cultivation level, and we failed to see it," Du Bingxin said.

"What about this Xu Ping’an? He isn’t also an Eleventh-Rank powerhouse, is he? He just killed two disciples of the Jade Immortal Sect, and both were one-hit kills," Pan Zhen hastily asked.

"He should be at the Ninth-Rank; the reason he could achieve those kills is due to that Soul Weapon," Du Bingxin revealed.

"That’s a relief. If he were also an Eleventh-Rank, I truly would have been scared to death. Earlier, I even suggested we kill them to silence them," Tong Jianjun said with a face full of lingering fear.

With a serious look in her eyes, Du Bingxin shook her head and watched Yin Xue and Xu Ping’an closely.

"Sister Du, what should we do now, whom should we help?" Pan Zhen asked.

"Let’s just wait and see for now; you guys focus on recovering from your injuries first," Du Bingxin instructed.

Upon hearing this, Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun both began to tend to their wounds.

On the other side, a tense moment had already reached a point where swords were drawn and bows were at the ready.
