Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 697 - 696: He is Xu Ping’an

"This kid is the master of that enchantress?"

"How is that possible."

"Since when did this enchantress have a master, and who would be qualified to be her master?"

"Besides, this enchantress clearly has Eleventh Rank cultivation, how could she acknowledge a Ninth Rank cultivator as her master?"

"However, this kid is also quite eerie, he actually sent Jiang Qing flying with a single punch."

"At this moment, Jiang Qing is already devoid of any life signs, which means he was directly killed by a punch from Xu Ping’an."

"Huh?" Du Bingxin looked at Xu Ping’an with continuous surprise.

"When Yin Xue revealed her cultivation level before, she once again probed Xu Ping’an’s.

"But Xu Ping’an’s cultivation is indeed at the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer."

"Did I misjudge again?"

"Otherwise, how could he kill a Jade Immortal Sect elder of the Eleventh Rank with a single punch?"

"Who are you, and why are you making an enemy of our Jade Immortal Sect?" Mo Yun asked coldly, staring intensely at Xu Ping’an.

"I originally did not want to kill anyone from your Jade Immortal Sect; it was you who provoked me first," Xu Ping’an said with a light laugh, his eyes shimmering with a sharp and domineering gleam.

"Provoked you first? When did my Jade Immortal Sect provoke you? Could it be that you are mistaken?" Mo Yun asked in a cold voice.

"Mistaken? The disciple from your sect called Ding Yuan captured two women who are my fellow disciples. Do you think I could be mistaken?" Xu Ping’an sneered.

"So it was you who killed Ding Yuan." Mo Yun understood in an instant.

He wondered why Ding Yuan had died but the two women disappeared; it turned out this person was the one who made the move.

"Yes!" Xu Ping’an responded succinctly.

"Since it has come to this, why are you still concealing your cultivation?" Mo Yun said, glancing at Xu Ping’an with a cold tone.

"Who says I’m hiding my cultivation? I am at the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm; it’s just that the elders of your Jade Immortal Sect are too weak," Xu Ping’an replied with a dismissive laugh.

What?

Ninth Rank Seventh Layer?

Everyone was astonished.

"Impossible, how could you be at the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer? How could someone at the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer be so strong?" Zhong Suting immediately asked.

That was what everyone else was thinking.

Xu Ping’an just laughed lightly, "It’s not that I’m too strong, it’s just that you are too weak. My cultivation is indeed at the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm - it’s the genuine article."

Hearing these words, Mo Yun and the others all furrowed their brows.

Off to the side, Du Bingxin also furrowed her brows tightly.

"Master, why waste words with them? Let’s join forces and kill him together," Yin Xue said.

"No need, I can handle it on my own. It’s a good opportunity for me to test my skills," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"By yourself, Master? But he is at the Eleventh Rank Third Layer Realm, could it be a bit…" Yin Xue said, somewhat worried.

"It’s okay, if I truly can’t handle it, then it’s not too late for you to make a move," Xu Ping’an replied.

"Alright then, just be careful, Master," Yin Xue said, and then she stepped to one side.

Du Bingxin hesitated for a moment and then moved aside as well.

Clearly, she also wanted to see what kind of strength this youth named Xu Ping’an truly possessed.

"This guy wants to fight Elder Mo by himself, is he really at the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm?" Zhong Suting exclaimed in surprise.

A confrontation between Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm and Eleventh Rank Third Layer Realm; this completely overturned her understanding.

"Elder Mo Yun is not so easy to deal with. I think this man is just too arrogant. Once they exchange blows, he will understand the true power of the Eleventh Rank Third Layer Realm," Lu Jian said.

Zhong Suting nodded her head, clearly also of the opinion that the young man was no match for Elder Mo Yun.

"Kid, you want to face me alone. I know you possess strength far beyond your cultivation level, but you still don’t qualify to defeat me," Mo Yun snorted coldly, his eyes filled with arrogance.

Although Xu Ping’an killed Jiang Qing with a single punch, there’s absolutely no chance he could defeat him.

There was a huge gap between him and Jiang Qing.

"Whether I’m qualified or not, we’ll know once we fight," Xu Ping’an said with a light chuckle.

The next moment, Lei Dun Virtual Void was executed.

His figure appeared in front of Mo Yun, and Xu Ping’an circulated his inner energy through his meridians, launching a punch.

With this punch, Xu Ping’an directly employed the Qiankun Dao Principle.

The strength was incredibly astonishing, pushing forth like a massive mountain with an overwhelming momentum.

"So strong," the crowd exclaimed in astonishment.

This punch was too terrifying.

Du Bingxin was also shocked beyond measure, knowing that even if she could receive such a punch, she would be seriously injured.

It had to be said, the power of this punch was indeed close to reaching the Eleventh Rank Third Layer Realm.

"The power is decent, but unfortunately still not enough, Ice Palm," Mo Yun sneered.

The power of the Ice Dao Principle emerged instantly. Mo Yun struck out with a palm, his power extremely astounding.

"Boom!"

As fist met palm, a colossal impact ensued.

Xu Ping’an was sent flying backward, tumbling through the air for a full hundred zhang before he stabilized his figure.

Mo Yun, however, only took one step back and easily dissipated the force of the impact.

Clearly, with this move, Xu Ping’an fell into the disadvantage.

"To think you could contest me with such strength, you’re far too delusional," Mo Yun scoffed with disdain.

Xu Ping’an’s punch was indeed powerful, but it barely reached the might of someone in the Eleventh Rank Third Layer Realm.

Imagining such an attack could kill him was simply a dream.

"I said he wouldn’t be a match for the elder, and now the difference between them is clear," Lu Jian spoke.

"However, for him to possess such strength at the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm is already defying the heavens," Zhong Suting nodded as she spoke.

"Indeed, he’s formidable, but today will mark his end," Lu Jian said, his eyes filled with intense jealousy.

He harbored affection for Zhong Suting, and now hearing her praise another, how could he not feel jealous?

Du Bingxin, standing aside, had a sharp look in her eyes.

"It seems this kid isn’t as exaggerated as imagined, daring to face the elder of the Jade Immortal Sect alone," Pan Zhen said with a light laugh.

"Indeed, a bit too arrogant. An Eleventh Rank Third Layer Realm is not so easy to deal with," Tong Jianjun nodded in agreement.

"Hmph, he may not be a match for Mo Yun, but he at least possesses the combat power of an Eleventh Rank Third Layer Realm. How many have you seen with such a terrifying combat power at the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm?" Du Bingxin retorted coldly.

"Du junior sister, why are you speaking in his favor?" Pan Zhen said, not convinced.

"If I’m not mistaken, he should be the one ranked 29th on the Genius List, that Xu Ping’an," Du Bingxin mentioned.

"He’s that Xu Ping’an? Yes, he did say his name was Xu Ping’an earlier, it really is him," Tong Jianjun exclaimed in surprise.

Pan Zhen was also visibly shocked.

They had heard the name Xu Ping’an before and even said that Du Bingxin could definitely defeat him upon meeting.

But they had not expected Xu Ping’an to be so young, and his cultivation to be merely at the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm?

At this moment, Du Bingxin clenched her fists tightly, feeling a great blow to her heart.

She too had thought she wouldn’t be much inferior to that Xu Ping’an.

But now, she felt that the gap between her and Xu Ping’an was not small at all.

A Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm, possessing the combat power of an Eleventh Rank Third Layer Realm—how monstrous was that?
