Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 725 - 724: Those Who Hinder My Path to Enlightenment Shall Die

"Have you said enough? If so, step aside," Xu Ping’an said coldly, his intent to kill growing stronger.

At this moment, his Dao Laws had yet to take shape, and his comprehension of them had not fully formed the path of Dao Laws.

If too much time passed, the path of the Dao Laws would completely collapse.

Right now, by blocking his way, Xing Feng was essentially cutting off his path of cultivation.

To sever someone’s path of cultivation was a hatred that could be said to rival that of the enmity for one’s parents.

"What if I don’t move aside? Your enlightenment isn’t complete yet, and I want to see you fail. What can you do to me? With your strength, do you think you can kill me?" Xing Feng said disdainfully.

Originally, he had intended to kill Xu Ping’an outright, end of story.

Now he had changed his mind, desiring instead to stop Xu Ping’an’s enlightenment and then watch his Dao Laws collapse in agony.

"Xing Feng, enough, step out of the way now," Yu Xianlan said agitatedly.

"Hmph, Yu Xianlan, do you think you can command me?" Xing Feng said contemptuously, though his eyes were filled with anger.

"Then let’s fight." Yu Xianlan produced a long sword in her hand, seemingly ready to fight Xing Feng.

The onlookers around them were shocked.

Was Yu Xianlan truly about to draw her sword and fight Xing Feng for this guy?

"Yu Xianlan, are you really going to strike me down for a stranger?" Xing Feng’s gaze became icy cold.

"Yes, if you dare to stop Xu Ping’an’s enlightenment, I will definitely fight you," Yu Xianlan’s eyes were fierce.

"Good, very good. I must stop him today. I want to see what you can do to me. To be honest, you’re not capable of stopping me," Xing Feng snorted coldly, his eyes brimming with scorn.

Even though Yu Xianlan had some skills, he was sure she wouldn’t dare kill him.

If she killed him, the entire Immortal Hall would turn chaotic.

And just because Yu Xianlan had tricks up her sleeve, did it mean he didn’t?

"If Xianlan alone isn’t enough, then add me," Gongsun Yao also stepped forward and said.

"Gongsun Yao, why are you joining in this mess?" Xing Feng said angrily.

He had not anticipated that Gongsun Yao would stand up.

"Xianlan’s affairs are my affairs," Gongsun Yao retorted coldly.

Xing Feng’s eyes burned with fury: "Even with you, you’re no match for me."

"Then count me in as well," a clear, cold voice said.

They saw Du Bingxin approaching from below, appearing beside Yu Xianlan.

The crowd below became stupefied.

Weren’t these the three great beauties of the Immortal Hall?

Were they all actually willing to take action against Xing Feng for one man?

Xing Feng’s gaze turned absolutely icy, his fists clenched, his killing intent surging.

These three women were all ones he had set his sights on.

Yet now, they were all willing to attack him over another man.

Far away, Qin Yuan’s face was also unspeakably sullen.

To the side, Qi Xuanbo chuckled lightly, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

He knew that Xing Feng and Qin Yuan were competing for the affections of these three women.

It seemed that both men had failed.

Instead, it was this Xu Ping’an who had managed to compel three women to draw their swords at once.

"Damn, just who is this Xu Ping’an that he could make the three beauties of the Immortal Hall draw their swords together?"

"If I could achieve that, I’d be willing to die happy."

…

Those male Cultivators below all looked at Xu Ping’an with intense envy in their eyes.

However, Xu Ping’an did not feel the slightest bit triumphant at the moment; instead, he coldly eyed Xing Feng ahead of him.

He knew that if he wanted to become enlightened today, he had to get past Xing Feng.

No one else could help him; only he himself could do it.

"Very well, since all three of you wish to take action, then no matter what, I absolutely will not allow his enlightenment to succeed today. I want you to watch with your own eyes as the man you care about fails in front of me," Xing Feng’s eyes gleamed with ruthlessness.

"Xing Feng, you..." Yu Xianlan was furiously about to make her move.

However, at this moment, Xu Ping’an was step by step ascending the stairs.

"Xu..." Yu Xianlan had just begun to speak when she suddenly sensed something off about Xu Ping’an’s aura.

"Boom!"

A tangible killing intent surged forth from Xu Ping’an’s body.

This terrifying killing intent made everyone’s heart turn cold.

The three women looked at Xu Ping’an in astonishment, their eyes filled with disbelief.

How many people must one kill to unleash such horrifying killing intent?

Xing Feng was also startled by Xu Ping’an’s frightening killing intent, but he soon scoffed.

"What, you want to take action yourself? I originally thought you were nothing but a coward who only knew how to hide behind women. Now it seems you have some guts, shame it’s just too foolish," Xing Feng said with a mocking tone.

The crowd below chuckled lightly to themselves.

Xu Ping’an was truly foolish.

What use was having guts at a time like this? Since Yu Xianlan and the others had already stepped forward, why not let them hold off Xing Feng while he ascends to Dao?

To act the hero now was clearly seeking death.

"It seems Xu Ping’an is likely to fail in his ascension. Once he fails, he’s done for," said the Black-hearted Old Ghost from the sky above, smirking and not forgetting to mockingly glance at Immortal Auntie Yu.

Immortal Auntie Yu’s complexion was not good, and at this moment, she also felt that Xu Ping’an’s actions were too impulsive.

How could he possibly be Xing Feng’s opponent?

Acting now would only hasten his failure to ascend.

The Qingyun Sword Emperor also showed disdain and cursed, calling him an idiot.

Xu Ping’an was unaware of these comments, and at this moment, he was not far from Xing Feng.

Looking at Xing Feng’s disdainful face up ahead, Xu Ping’an’s inner killing intent was surging like a tide.

"I originally didn’t want to kill you, but since you obstruct my ascension, you must die today. Nobody can save you," Xu Ping’an declared with sky-high killing intent, his fists clenched tight.

"Kill me? Are you joking?" Xing Feng laughed scornfully, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

The people below also wore smiles of light disdain.

Xing Feng was ranked eighteenth on the list of geniuses.

And Xu Ping’an wants to kill him even before his own ascension?

At this moment, Yu Xianlan and the other two also furrowed their brows, their expressions solemn.

Clearly, they all thought Xu Ping’an was being impulsive.

Yet Xu Ping’an remained unstoppable, continuing to move forward.

He took a step, and Chaotic Thunder surged around him.

Instantly, Chaotic Thunder augmented his body, causing his bones to grow, and muscles to swell as if inflating.

His height, originally around 1.8 meters, shot up to 2.5 meters in an instant.

His terrifying muscles resembled coiling dragons, yet his body proportions remained perfect, conveying a sense of explosive power.

"Huh?" The crowd below revealed expressions of surprise at this spectacle.

They could all feel the explosive power pulsing from Xu Ping’an.

The fearsome wave of energy even scattered the Dao Laws’ pressure.

Yu Xianlan and the others also felt the wild surge of power within Xu Ping’an, their astonishment evident on their faces.

"A secret technique to enhance physical strength, you think you can defeat me with this?" Xing Feng was taken aback at first, but he quickly began to sneer.

Xu Ping’an, however, did not respond and took another step forward.

Chaotic Flame burst forth in an instant, transforming into a giant flame dragon that rushed into Xu Ping’an’s body.

This time, Xu Ping’an’s body grew even more, towering from 2.5 meters to 3.2 meters.

At this moment, Xu Ping’an was like a tall giant, his body’s muscles even more exaggeratedly powerful.

The fearsome wave of energy even pushed Yu Xianlan and the other two back dozens of steps.

Their eyes, now looking at Xu Ping’an, brimmed with thick disbelief.

Especially Gongsun Yao, witnessing the flames swirling around Xu Ping’an, her heart was filled with shock.
