Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 727 - 726: Qin Yuan’s Decision

"No, I’m not content, I must kill you today," bellowed Xing Feng, his eyes turning blood red as he glared at Xu Ping’an.

The next moment, he summoned a tombstone which erupted with a terrifying fluctuation of death aura.

"Buzz!"

A colossal black path phantom appeared behind him.

"The Road of the Death Dao Principle, that’s the Divine Stele Stone, Xing Feng’s object of embodiment. It seems like Xing Feng is fully invoking the power of Dao principles. He is truly going all out now."

Below, the crowd, upon witnessing this scene, immediately displayed a look of utter astonishment.

The object of embodiment emerged, and the path of Dao principles’ phantom was projected.

This signified that Xing Feng had fully exerted all the power of Dao principles.

Manifesting the Road of Dao principles would also bring him unparalleled augmentation.

"Buzz!"

An enormous Black Shadow appeared behind Xing Feng, akin to a gigantic bull-headed giant.

"It’s Xing Feng’s killer move, the Bull-Head Mantra."

"My God, Xing Feng has actually used that move, the legendary figures of Hell, the bull-headed and horse-faced spirits, symbolizing the advent of the will of death."

"This time Xu Ping’an is probably going to lose. This Bull-Head Mantra possesses supreme might, it is the bearer of death, imbued with Yama’s will."

...

The people below were in a state of shock.

They hadn’t anticipated that Xing Feng would be forced to this extent.

Yu Xianlan and the other two were also full of worry.

The Bull-Head Mantra was an ancient Divine Skill, and Xing Feng had actually resorted to such a strike.

Could Xu Ping’an withstand it?

Xing Feng’s gaze towards Xu Ping’an was fierce and ferocious.

"Xu Ping’an, you have pushed me this far; you can be proud of yourself. However, today marks your end. This Bull-Head Mantra is a Divine Level Divine Skill I command, containing the supreme will of Yama. Today, your death is certain," Xing Feng said coldly.

Immediately, a terrifying death aura pressed down towards Xu Ping’an like a storm.

At that moment, Xu Ping’an felt as if both heaven and earth were being devoured by a dreadful dark force, threatening to drown him in darkness at any moment.

The approach of that death aura filled his heart with an inexplicable panic.

However, Xu Ping’an’s eyes quickly became resolute, and as he looked up at the gigantic Bull-Head Mantra in the sky, a deep disdain filled his gaze.

In his hands appeared a Superior Grade Immortal Sword that vibrated rapidly.

Terrible Sword Intent soared into the sky, shattering the darkness and cleaving a path of light.

Xu Ping’an held the Sharp Sword above his head.

His eyes were as sharp as Sword Radiance.

"I’ve said that anyone who blocks my path to enlightenment shall die, and that doesn’t change even if you are merely a bull-head from Hell, let alone if you were Yama," Xu Ping’an said coldly, his killing intent surging like a tide.

All his epiphanies converged into this one sword strike.

"Die!" roared Xing Feng.

The bull-head moved in an instant, throwing a punch towards Xu Ping’an.

The massive fist covered the sky and brought an exceedingly terrifying wave of might.

Everyone around felt an unprecedented oppression, as if the dense aura of death would suffocate them.

Is this an ancient Divine Skill?

Too terrifying.

Yu Xianlan and the other two women’s complexions greatly changed, tense with nervousness.

It wasn’t only them; even Qin Yuan and Qi Xuanbo felt a pressure.

Such a strike, even they could not ignore.

But Xu Ping’an’s eyes remained resolute as he watched the punch from the bull-head approaching. Xu Ping’an brought his sword down in a slash.

At the instant the Sharp Sword cut through, it was as if time and space stood still, the void being split asunder.

A flash of Sword Radiance, and the colossal Bull-Head Mantra towering thousands of feet tall was bisected.

"Crack!"

A clear sword mark appeared directly on the tombstone that served as Xing Feng’s object of embodiment.

Everyone was agape with astonishment.

Gazing upon this unbelievable scene, their eyes were filled with an intense shock.

Just a moment ago, they felt as though their thoughts had ceased to flow.

They had not even seen clearly how Xu Ping’an’s sword had been slashed out.

"Broken? He actually broke Xing Feng’s ancient divine skill?" Gongsun Yao wore a look of stupefaction.

In her view, despite Xu Ping’an’s strength, he should not have been able to match Xing Feng employing ancient divine skills.

But now, it seemed she was mistaken, Xu Ping’an’s power was far more frightening than she had imagined.

That sword strike just now had reached a terribly extreme extent.

The one most shocked at this moment was Xing Feng.

He had never anticipated that his use of an ancient divine skill could be neutralized by Xu Ping’an.

Not only that, but Xu Ping’an had even left a sword mark on his Divine Stele Stone?

This was truly an inconceivable matter.

"You... you’re really just Ninth Rank?" Xing Feng could hardly believe it.

However, Xu Ping’an merely sneered and once again swung his sharp sword.

This sword stroke was no less terrifying than the one before.

Seeing the sword cleaving towards him, a strong sense of fear surged in Xing Feng’s heart.

"Xu Ping’an, I’ll remember today’s humiliation, but don’t think killing me will be that easy," Xing Feng snorted coldly.

A jade token appeared in his hand, which he proceeded to crush.

A light flashed, and the next moment, he disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already below the stairs.

Xu Ping’an’s sword missed its target, leaving a clear sword mark on the stairs.

The crowd, witnessing this, were all amazed beyond measure.

If Xing Feng had not had a teleportation talisman at hand, he would likely be dead by now.

Standing beneath, Xing Feng looked up at Xu Ping’an on the stairs, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

Xu Ping’an also gazed down at Xing Feng, his eyes piercingly sharp.

But soon, Xu Ping’an sheathed his sharp sword and continued on towards the fifty-thousand steps.

As he walked, Xu Ping’an’s figure gradually returned to its original form.

Nonetheless, his muscular body and fair skin still made his physique seem exceptionally perfect.

Seeing this, many female cultivators couldn’t help but swallow.

Such a perfect body, like an uncut jade, was simply too appealing to the eye.

Yu Xianlan and the two other ladies looking at Xu Ping’an’s physique also couldn’t help but blush.

Ahead, Qin Yuan and Qi Xuanbo exchanged glances, seemingly hesitant.

"You’re not going to make your move?" Qi Xuanbo asked.

"I did indeed plan to intervene, but now, I’ve suddenly changed my mind," Qin Yuan said with a light chuckle.

"Oh? You want him to achieve his Dao, but once he does, his power is sure to soar. Then, neither you nor I may be his match," Qi Xuanbo pointed out.

"Hmph, you think too highly of him. He’s just achieved his Dao. How strong can he really get? Let him complete it. Once he’s done, killing him might even help me achieve the Immortal Emperor Realm," said Qin Yuan, his eyes revealing a sense of arrogance.

"You plan to kill him to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm?" Qi Xuanbo said in surprise.

He knew Qin Yuan had comprehended the Slaughter Dao, also known as the principle of slaughter, pursuing an invincible path.

Qin Yuan actually intended to kill Xu Ping’an to aid his own enlightenment and breakthrough.

And indeed, there was such a possibility. If Xu Ping’an became powerful enough to achieve his Dao, battling with Qin Yuan could truly facilitate Qin Yuan’s breakthrough.

"You’d better not interfere, or I’ll kill you to achieve the Immortal Emperor Realm," Qin Yuan warned, as if he noticed Qi Xuanbo’s intentions, and spoke with a cold huff.

Qi Xuanbo hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to give up.

Indeed, he had been contemplating killing Xu Ping’an to thwart Qin Yuan.

Having heard what Qin Yuan said, he now abandoned the thought.

Not because he was frightened of Qin Yuan but because being entangled with this madman was exceptionally troublesome.
