Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 696 - 695 You Finally Decided to Make a Move

"Demoness, I had no idea you were hiding such profound depths. If you hadn’t exposed yourself, we really would have been unable to find you," Mo Yun said, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

This time around, the Jade Immortal Sect had suffered grievous losses.

The original eight were now reduced to merely four.

"It’s your ignorance. Did you really think that after being struck by your Ice Soul Cold Force I would be severely injured?" Yin Xue said with a light chuckle.

A frown creased Mo Yun’s brow.

It seemed Yin Xue had indeed expelled all of his Ice Cold Power.

But how did she manage it?

This baffled Mo Yun.

"Did you intentionally leave clues to lure us here?" Mo Yun seemed to realize something and spoke up.

"That’s right, I had planned to borrow the power of the Corpse Puppets to slay you all. However, the Corpse Puppets were nowhere to be found and didn’t appear, and you happened to show up, so I had to do it myself," Yin Xue said with a smile.

"So that’s it, hmph, thinking to kill us with the Corpse Puppets, you do have good schemes. I thought you had collaborated with the people from the Immortal Hall. It seems you were just using them," Mo Yun said with a cold snort.

"Merely a collaboration, do not try to sow discord," Yin Xue responded with a smile.

Mo Yun’s petty tricks were naturally all too clear to Yin Xue.

Similarly, Du Bingxin understood that Mo Yun was deliberately trying to stir up trouble, but now she also grasped the situation.

"It seems the Jade Immortal Sect really did come for this woman. What exactly is her identity that has prompted the Jade Immortal Sect to venture so deeply into our Immortal Hall’s territories to capture her?" Tong Jianjun mused to himself.

Du Bingxin’s expression was also solemn, clearly filled with endless doubts.

"Du Saintess, let’s collaborate to join forces and slay these demonesses together, how does that sound?" Mo Yun said, looking towards Du Bingxin.

"Demoness? Elder Mo, what is the identity of this woman that has prompted you to take such drastic measures?" Du Bingxin inquired.

"I knew you would have this question, Saintess Du. To be frank, this woman is none other than the daughter of the Songmu Immortal Emperor from the legends of Songmu City. You should understand the value of that," Mo Yun said with a smile.

The daughter of the Songmu Immortal Emperor?

Du Bingxin looked at Yin Xue with astonishment, her eyes filled with shock.

She was of course well-aware of the affairs of the Songmu Immortal Emperor, and now she finally understood why the Jade Immortal Sect valued this woman so highly.

The secrets this woman held were probably no less significant than those of this valley and might even be greater.

"The daughter of the Songmu Immortal Emperor, does that mean she knows the location of the Supreme Empress’s resting palace?" Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun also looked at Yin Xue with disbelief, their gazes filled with incredulity.

"How about it, Saintess Du? We collaborate, slay this demoness, and conduct a Soul Search on her. Then, the location of the Supreme Immortal Palace can be shared between us, how does that sound?" Mo Yun said with a smile.

He had already witnessed Yin Xue’s techniques and knew that with his current strength, he truly had no confidence in capturing her.

Therefore, he wanted to entice Du Bingxin to take action and join him in killing Yin Xue.

At this moment, Xu Ping’an had been completely forgotten by everyone.

He stood behind Yin Xue, silently watching the scene unfold, seemingly curious to see what choice Du Bingxin would make.

"Elder Mo, I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you. What I hate the most are hypocrites like you. If we join hands to kill her, would you really let us go?" Du Bingxin said with a cold huff.

"We can swear an oath, we will absolutely not make a move against the Saintess," Mo Yun continued.

"That’s impossible. Not only will I not join hands with you, but I’ll also collaborate with them to deal with you," Du Bingxin stated coldly.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yun’s gaze turned extremely cold, and he said hastily, "Du Bingxin, do you really not want to know the location of the Supreme Immortal Palace?"

"I do not wish to know," Du Bingxin responded outright.

"Seeking your own death," Mo Yun roared in anger, and a powerful aura erupted from his being.

It had to be said that the strength of an Eleventh Rank, Third Layer Realm was indeed terrifying, the mere pressure of it enough to intimidate the entire scene.

"Saintess Du, let’s attack together. With our combined effort, we’ll kill Mo Yun first," Yin Xue suggested jovially.

"Good, let’s do it together," Du Bingxin immediately replied.

In the next moment, Yin Xue and Du Bingxin both sprang into action, charging towards Mo Yun.

"Go and deal with the rest, I’ll hold them off. Once you’ve taken care of the others, come help me," Mo Yun immediately commanded.

Having finished speaking, he strode forward and charged towards Yin Xue and Du Bingxin.

In an instant, the three of them were engaged in battle, their exchange of blows sending shockwaves in every direction.

Mo Yun was directly suppressed by the combined efforts of Yin Xue and Du Bingxin.

Originally, Yin Xue alone was enough to suppress Mo Yun, and now with Du Bingxin’s assistance, it became even more effortless.

"You two take care of those two, I’ll deal with that kid," Jiang Qing said, pointing at Xu Ping’an.

"Yes, Elder," Lu Jian and Zhong Suting replied.

They then continued their assault towards Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man called Jiang Qing charged at Xu Ping’an.

"Kid, that Soul Sword of yours is quite good, hand it over, and I’ll leave you a whole corpse," Jiang Qing said with a cold snort.

"And what if I say no?" Xu Ping’an said with a light chuckle.

"Then I will make you wish you were..." Jiang Qing began, with another cold snort.

But before he could finish, his pupils suddenly constricted.

What?

Because Xu Ping’an’s figure had inexplicably appeared before him.

How could he be so fast?

Jiang Qing was shocked, having not seen how Xu Ping’an had approached.

What kind of terrifying speed was this?

"Were you about to say, ’wish you were dead’?" Xu Ping’an chuckled.

"Seeking your own death!" Shocked, Jiang Qing swung a punch at Xu Ping’an.

But Xu Ping’an just chuckled and threw his own punch.

Striking from behind!

He landed a direct blow to Jiang Qing’s abdomen.

"Bang!"

Jiang Qing’s back instantly burst open, turning into a mist of blood.

His body flew backward like a meteor crashing down.

Boom!

Jiang Qing’s body slammed into a boulder in the distance, which shattered on impact.

This abrupt turn of events once again drew everyone’s attention.

What?

Everyone was once again stunned.

What had happened?

Lu Jian and Zhong Suting, just about to make their move, stood frozen in place.

Similarly, the battle involving Mo Yun and others came to an abrupt halt.

Mo Yun and Du Bingxin both looked at Xu Ping’an with disbelief written all over their faces.

Only Yin Xue had a smile on her face, looking at Xu Ping’an and saying, "Master, you’ve finally made your move."

"Master... Master?"

Mo Yun and Du Bingxin’s scalps tingled instantly.

Tong Jianjun and Pan Zhen also had twitching at the corners of their mouths.

What did Yin Xue just call him?

Master?
