Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 732 - 731: Battle with Qin Yuan

Qin Yuan looked at Xu Ping’an, his eyes carrying a hint of disdain.

"It seems you haven’t disappointed me, First-rank Dao Principle holder, you are worthy of being my opponent. Killing you might even break through my Dao of Slaughter," Qin Yuan said with a light laugh as he looked at Xu Ping’an.

"Do you really want to fight me here? If I’m not mistaken, even you would be suppressed by the Dao Principles on this Purple Cloud Mountain," Xu Ping’an said with a light laugh.

"So what if that’s the case? Even with the Dao Principles suppressing, I can still kill you. Aren’t you suppressed by the Dao Principles as well?" Qin Yuan said with a light laugh.

"That may not be the case," Xu Ping’an said with a light laugh.

After speaking, his figure began to rise into the air.

The entire person was suspended in mid-air.

This scene left everyone present with their faces in shock.

Even Qin Yuan couldn’t manage to rise into the air.

Xu Ping’an could actually levitate here?

Could it be that he wasn’t suppressed by the Dao Principles of Purple Cloud Mountain?

"How is this possible?" Gongsun Yao said with a look of astonishment.

Immortal Auntie Yu and Du Bingxin also had faces full of surprise.

At this moment, Qi Xuanbo was also clenching his fists tightly, jealousy welling up in his eyes.

What did Xu Ping’an’s ability to levitate signify?

It meant that Xu Ping’an could easily fly to the palace on the mountainside.

Didn’t that mean the inheritance here was very likely to be snatched away by Xu Ping’an?

At the foot of the mountain, Xing Feng’s face was distorted with rage, his eyes bloodshot, filled with intense jealousy.

"You’re actually unaffected by the suppression of Purple Cloud Mountain. This really surprises me. It looks like I absolutely cannot let you pass today," Qin Yuan said coldly.

At this moment, he truly harbored a killing intent.

If he let Xu Ping’an go, it would be equivalent to giving away the opportunity of Purple Cloud Mountain.

Even if he couldn’t obtain it, he definitely couldn’t let Xu Ping’an have it.

"Is that so? That’s not up to you," Xu Ping’an’s eyes also filled with a cold intent.

He didn’t intend to fight Qin Yuan to the death.

At this moment, he wanted to ascend the mountain and enter the great hall.

The Qin Yuan before him was very strong; trying to kill him was almost an impossibility.

So instead of a death struggle with Qin Yuan, it was better to rush past him.

"Hmph, it seems you are quite confident. I would like to see how you get past me," Qin Yuan snorted coldly.

After speaking, a powerful surge of Immortal Elemental energy emerged from his body.

Xu Ping’an didn’t hesitate, immediately executing the Demon Elephant Tri-Transformation.

Chaotic Thunder and Chaotic Flame instantly bolstered his body, causing his physique to swell significantly.

In an instant, Xu Ping’an’s aura soared, the terrifying presence creating a horrendous pressure, like a demon god.

Golden patterns spread all over his body, conveying an invincible aura.

"Interesting, this Transformation Method of yours must also be a Divine Skill, otherwise it would not increase your power by so much. However, I’m not sure about its power," Qin Yuan said with a light laugh.

"Try it and you’ll know," Xu Ping’an said with a light laugh.

He then took a step on the void, which immediately erupted with an intense roaring noise.

Immediately after, Xu Ping’an’s figure vanished from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Qin Yuan.

No fancy tricks, just a direct punch.

All the muscles in Xu Ping’an’s body were squirming, terrible power transferring from his body to his fist.

The strength of this punch was enough to shatter a mountain peak.

```

However, facing Xu Ping’an’s terrifying punch, Qin Yuan remained completely unconcerned, his face still as serene as a light breeze and gentle clouds.

"Boom!"

Qin Yuan struck out with a palm, colliding with Xu Ping’an’s fist head-on.

The clash of the two sent out a heaven-shaking roar, and a fearful tide of energy rippled outwards.

Young Cultivators who were still climbing the steps below were blown away, tumbling down to the base of the mountain.

Even Yu Xianlan and others were forced to retreat hundreds of steps before stabilizing their figures.

Qi Xuanbo himself had to employ Immortal Elemental to withstand it.

"What an intense confrontation. The power of these two is terrifying, just their clash of Immortal Elemental is no less than a collision at the Eleventh Rank Peak," the Cultivators in the crowd exclaimed in shock.

It was not surprising that Qin Yuan was so powerful.

But Xu Ping’an at this moment was equally fierce.

"Bang bang bang!"

And at that moment, the void seemed to crack repeatedly.

Xu Ping’an and Qin Yuan were exchanging blows continuously, their striking speed as fast as lightning.

Let alone Ninth Rank Cultivators, even those at the Tenth Rank could not see the movements of their attacks.

In just the span of a breath, the two had already exchanged over a hundred moves, evenly matched in strength.

"Boom!"

Their Immortal Elemental powers collided once again, creating a fearsome shockwave.

Xu Ping’an was pushed back dozens of feet by the force of the impact before neutralizing its power.

As for Qin Yuan, he took more than a dozen steps back, cracking the steps beneath him before stabilizing his form.

After their exchange, it appeared they were indeed evenly matched.

"Evenly matched? Did they actually fight to a draw? My God, is Xu Ping’an already that strong?" someone from the crowd below exclaimed in surprise.

"But Qin Yuan probably hasn’t used his full strength yet; he hasn’t employed the Power of Dao Principles," someone else responded.

"Xu Ping’an hasn’t used it either, right? But since Xu Ping’an has just recently established his Dao, his Power of Dao Principles is probably not as strong as Qin Yuan’s. I fear the victory in this battle might still go to Qin Yuan," another person analyzed.

People were astonished by Xu Ping’an’s strength, yet many felt his chances of winning were slim.

"Interesting, your strength is indeed commendable, you’ve even sparked a slight interest in me to take action. But if this is the extent of your power, then I’m afraid you’re bound to lose," Qin Yuan said with a cold sneer.

After he spoke, a frightfully murderous aura burst forth from his being.

This terrifying aura of slaughter seemed to envelop everyone at once, instilling immense fear in their hearts.

It was as if everyone had suddenly been plunged into an ice cellar, experiencing an extreme chill.

Not only that, but deep within their hearts, it seemed as though a powerful desire to kill was taking root, igniting any suppressed hatred as if setting it ablaze.

"This is Qin Yuan’s Death Dao Principle of slaughter. How terrifying. Just under the pressure of this Dao Principle, I feel extreme fear and can’t even muster 70% of my usual strength," a Tenth Rank Peak cultivator said.

"Seventy percent? I can’t even reach 50%. This pressure is too frightening. I feel like he could slay me in an instant, and I also want to kill someone," another cultivator at the Sixth Layer Realm said grimly.

"I must seek revenge, ah, I can’t hold back anymore, I want to kill," someone was affected mentally, screaming crazily.

Even Gongsun Yao and her two companions wore grave expressions.

Facing the oppressive might of Qin Yuan’s Death Dao Principle, they too were affected, utterly unable to bring forth their full strength.

"This is the slaughter Dao Principle? Such intense murderous intent, to establish his Dao with killing, Qin Yuan really is strong," Immortal Auntie Yu couldn’t help saying.

It wasn’t just the younger generation; even her resolve was a bit affected under this Dao Principle of slaughter.

"Qin Yuan’s slaughter Dao Principle can affect one’s state of mind. On one hand, it induces fear, and on the other, it brings forth a desire to kill, driving people insane," the wily Old Ghost said with a snide laugh.

Immortal Auntie Yu didn’t speak, but she had to admit that Qin Yuan’s slaughter Dao Principle was powerful.

Xu Ping’an might be in danger.
