Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 707 - 706 The Person Without a Future is You

"Xu Ping’an, looking at you, the Immortal Hall Academy didn’t accept you, did it?" Tang Jun looked at Xu Ping’an with a smug expression, like a villain reveling in his triumph.

"Was it you who played tricks?" Xu Ping’an raised an eyebrow and looked toward Tang Jun.

"That’s right, I simply reported your deeds in the Mortal Realm to the Immortal Hall, is there anything wrong with that?" Tang Jun said.

"My deeds in the Mortal Realm?" Xu Ping’an chuckled softly.

It seemed that Tang Jun had likely only reported some rumors from the Heavenly Star Palace, unaware of Xu Ping’an’s doings within the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty.

Moreover, he probably hadn’t mentioned that Xu Ping’an possessed the strength of the Eleventh Rank.

Thus, the so-called Immortal Hall Academy had no idea of his true capabilities, nor did they know that he was the same Xu Ping’an who ranked twenty-ninth on the list of geniuses, simply assuming it was someone with the same name.

"How does it feel, Xu Ping’an, to be disappointed? Your talent is indeed high, but it’s a pity you can’t enter the Immortal Hall Academy. You can only become a dog without a home," Tang Jun said maliciously.

"It seems I haven’t offended you, have I?" Xu Ping’an looked at Tang Jun and chuckled softly.

"Not offended me? Song Lingxue is the woman I’ve set my heart on, yet she admires you endlessly, while she only shows disgust towards me. Tell me, how have you not offended me?" Tang Jun’s face twisted maliciously, his heart filling with intense fury at the thought of Song Lingxue.

"That’s your incompetence. If you were strong enough, you could have made Song Lingxue admire you as well." Xu Ping’an chuckled, finding Tang Jun’s lack of ability laughable.

"Humph, smooth talker. One day I will surpass you. Once you’re dead, Song Lingxue will naturally be mine," Tang Jun snorted coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Xu Ping’an chuckled and shook his head, not bothering to explain any further.

Without him, there would be another Xu Ping’an. It would never be Tang Jun’s turn anyway.

"So, are you here to kill me today?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.

"That’s right. This is my master, who possesses the Cultivation of the Eleventh Rank Third Layer Realm. How would you stand a chance with your Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm combat power against him? Killing you would be as easy as flipping one’s hand," Tang Jun said with a cold laugh.

"As easy as flipping one’s hand?" Xu Ping’an laughed lightly, looking at the middle-aged man with a mustache.

The man had been observing Xu Ping’an all along, disdain in his eyes.

He had also heard of Xu Ping’an’s feat of slaying the Golden Winged Cloud Peng of the Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm, but to him, Xu Ping’an must have relied on some trick.

Even if it were true that Xu Ping’an had such strength, he himself could easily kill him.

"Master, he only has the Cultivation of the Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm, yet he holds the combat power of the Eleventh Rank and hasn’t even condensed the Power of Dao Principles. There must be a treasure on him. Presumably, he was just lucky and got it from the Heavenly Star Palace," Tang Jun said.

The middle-aged man nodded upon hearing this and looked at Xu Ping’an, "Boy, hand over your storage ring and all the treasures on you, and I might spare your life."

"And what if I don’t?" Xu Ping’an asked with a cold smile.

"Then you can go meet King Yama," the middle-aged man said, his eyes flashing with a hint of murderous intent.

In the next instant, he appeared right in front of Xu Ping’an, his palm harshly pressing towards Xu Ping’an’s face.

"Boy, today I will teach you what true strength is. Don’t act so arrogant just because you have some talent. Today’s humiliation will be the treasure of your future, except, of course, you have no future," the middle-aged man said with a cold sneer, an extreme look of contempt in his eyes.

His palm contained the terrifying Power of Dao Principles of the Eleventh Rank Third Layer Realm.

Frightening flames rose on his palm, imbued with a strong burning force.

Once pressed against a person’s face, it would instantaneously vaporize it, leaving it completely disfigured.

Indeed, the Dao Law he had comprehended was that of burning.

However, unfortunately for him, the Power of Dao Principles in his palm was not as formidable as that within Xu Ping’an’s Fierce Flame Bow.

Of course, to deal with this man, Xu Ping’an wouldn’t even need to use Dao Laws at all.

"Xu Ping’an, once your face is ruined, I want to see if Song Lingxue will still admire you," Tang Jun chuckled endlessly.

As if he could already see Xu Ping’an turned into a grotesque monster.

"Slap!"

A loud sound rang out, and a figure flew out directly.

The smile on Tang Jun’s face abruptly stopped, his expression one of shocked disbelief at the scene.

No... it can’t be!

It just cannot be possible!

Tang Jun screamed frantically in his heart, yet the reality before him was indisputable.

"Bang!"

The middle-aged man crashed into a nearby wall, which collapsed with a loud noise upon impact, as he spat out blood violently, his gaze toward Xu Ping’an filled with disbelief.

"You…" The middle-aged man wanted to say something else.

But suddenly, his pupils shrank violently.

Because Xu Ping’an’s figure had already appeared in front of him.

"What ’you’?" Xu Ping’an chuckled lightly.

He grabbed the middle-aged man’s head, lifted him into the air, then delivered a whip kick, which exploded against the man’s abdomen like thunder.

"Boom!"

The air burst open, like the roar of a giant thunder.

The middle-aged man’s body then flew backward at supersonic speed, crashing through fully ten ancient halls before stopping.

Such a huge roar also drew the attention of many people.

The disciples surrounding them were all utterly shocked to see the figure flying out.

The one being hit was Elder Mo from the Elixer Academy?

Wasn’t he an expert of the Eleventh Rank Third Layer Realm?

Who was the one hitting him?

For a moment, everyone was astonished as they looked towards Xu Ping’an, especially when they saw how young he was, finding it inconceivable.

Tang Jun was even more stunned, struck speechless by shock.

How could Xu Ping’an be... this strong?

Wasn’t he supposed to have the combat power of only Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm?

How could his own master have no power to fight back against him?

The middle-aged man lay amidst the ruins, like a dying dog, barely clinging to life.

"It seems the one without a future is you, not me," Xu Ping’an said with a light laugh.

Having said that, he then turned his gaze towards Tang Jun.

Tang Jun instantly felt a terrifying chill rushing from the soles of his feet up to his Heavenly Spirit Cover, causing his scalp to tingle violently.

An unprecedented fear sprouted from the bottom of his heart, as if he had been targeted by a huge, peerless beast, and he was as insignificant as an ant.

"Buzz!"

Xu Ping’an’s figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Tang Jun.

"Xu... Brother Xu... I..." Tang Jun was just about to speak.

Xu Ping’an slapped Tang Jun across the face.

Tang Jun’s face immediately distorted, and his entire head was hard spun dozens of times by the terrifying force.

Dead?

Everyone around felt an immense fear.

Who was this guy who dared to kill someone at the Immortal Hall Academy?

At this moment, Qin Mu, Tang Qingyu, Song Lingxue had also just arrived and were utterly shocked by the scene.

Of course, it wasn’t just them that arrived; a group of elders from the Immortal Hall had come as well.

"Presumptuous, daring to kill at the Immortal Hall Academy, you’ve got a lot of nerve," the leading elder from the Heavenly Academy berated right away.

A dreadful pressure bore down on Xu Ping’an.

The pressure from an expert of the Semi-Emperor Realm was indeed extremely terrifying.

Xu Ping’an’s body suddenly sank, and he nearly got pressed to the ground; the ground beneath his feet burst apart, creating a massive pit.

"My heavens, he actually withstood President Chen’s pressure, who is this person? Do we have such a frightening individual in our Academy?" The watching disciples were all amazed, their eyes filled with awe when they looked towards Xu Ping’an.

Being able to withstand the pressure of a Semi-Emperor Realm expert was no small feat.

The surrounding elders were equally astonished; Xu Ping’an actually possessed such strength?

When they saw Elder Mo lying on the ground, their pupils shrank even more.

Was this the work of Xu Ping’an?
