Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 734 - 733 Sudden Change

Qin Yuan’s spear shadows were all blocked by Xu Ping’an’s shield.

The overwhelmingly powerful spear shadows actually failed to penetrate Xu Ping’an’s defense, shocking everyone present.

"What kind of defensive technique is this that it’s so formidable? It can even block the Tyrant Spear Technique?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"Indeed, it’s a bit outrageous. The shield looks like a tortoise shell, but who would have thought its defense would be so strong?" Others nodded in agreement, indicating that Xu Ping’an’s defense was somewhat abnormal.

"This must be an extremely powerful Defensive Divine Ability; otherwise, it couldn’t possibly block Qin Yuan’s Spear Technique so easily," Yu Xianlan said.

"It certainly is a Divine Skill, likely one of the Xuanwu lineage which is known for its focus on defense," Gongsun Yao said.

"Xuanwu?" Du Bingxin seemed to have thought of something, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.

Could it be that time.

But why hadn’t she noticed?

At this moment, Qin Yuan’s face was also filled with astonishment. His Tyrant Spear Technique’s first move had actually been blocked.

"Interesting, you really surprise me. You could even take on my first move of the Tyrant Spear Technique. Not many people below the Immortal Emperor Realm can do that," Qin Yuan said arrogantly.

"Too bad I am not among them," Xu Ping’an said with a light laugh.

In fact, this was the first time he had used the Eight Wastelands Xuanwu Shield.

It had to be said that the Eight Wastelands Xuanwu Shield was indeed very strong.

Its defensive capabilities were comparable to a Divine Artifact, so naturally, blocking Qin Yuan’s Tyrant Spear Technique was no problem.

"Hmph, it seems I must show some real skill to kill you. You could block my first move, but I wonder if you can block my second one," Qin Yuan said with a cold snort.

As he finished speaking, a surging aura exploded from him, and a massive shadow loomed behind him.

The shadow was like a powerful deity, with an air of destruction capable of annihilating heaven and earth.

An oppressive terror instantly swept the venue, making the young Cultivators unable to look directly at it, with those of lower Cultivation almost succumbing to the urge to kneel.

The immense shadow wielded a long spear, and the power contained in the spear was so terrifying it made hearts tremble.

A thick aura of death enveloped Xu Ping’an.

Should this spear strike with full force, it would undoubtedly be exceedingly terrifying.

"Xu Ping’an, let’s see if your tortoise shell can block my next move. Go, Tyrant King’s Heavenlifting Spear!" Qin Yuan roared, thrusting his spear.

The shadow behind him thrust its spear as well, unleashing terrifying power.

The moment the long spear was thrust, the void itself seemed to burst, showing signs of shattering everywhere.

The power of this spear was nearly equivalent to the strength of a First Layer Immortal Emperor Realm expert.

Witnessing the incoming spear, everyone felt their scalps go numb.

The power of this spear was too horrendous.

Xu Ping’an also felt immense pressure.

Faced with this spear, his eyes erupted with an unprecedented fierce gleam.

It was still the Eight Wastelands Xuanwu Shield.

But this time, the Eight Wastelands Xuanwu Shield summoned by Xu Ping’an was ten times larger than before.

Its defensive power had also increased significantly.

"Boom!"

The horrific long spear collided with the shield, setting off a tremendously terrifying wave.

The dreadful surge of Immortal Elemental energy spread out like waves, scattering continuously.

The crowd backed away, wielding their life-saving treasures for protection.

Still, many were wounded by the terrifying aftershocks, with some spitting blood.

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion resounded.

Two forces detonated.

Xu Ping’an’s Xuanwu Shield shattered, and the massive shadow burst apart as well.

Both Xu Ping’an and Qin Yuan were sent flying.

The surrounding crowd, witnessing this spectacle, revealed expressions of surprise.

Was it a draw?

"Impossible, how could you have withstood my attack?" Qin Yuan said unwillingly, his face showing dissatisfaction as he too was injured by the terrifying shockwave, a trace of fresh blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

This had been his strongest strike, and he had not expected that Xu Ping’an would actually be able to block it.

Of course, Xu Ping’an wasn’t feeling much better at this point, his internal organs were shattered from the impact.

If it weren’t for his strong physical body, he would probably be seriously injured by now, utterly incapable of standing.

"Nothing is impossible, your attack is indeed strong, but it is not invincible," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Although he was injured, he still had the strength to fight.

Now he had a measure of his own power, even though defeating Qin Yuan still seemed unlikely.

But for Qin Yuan to kill him, that was also an impossible task.

"Do you still want to continue fighting with me?" Xu Ping’an asked with a cold laugh.

Qin Yuan’s face grew serious, his eyes filled with intense murderous intent as he looked at Xu Ping’an.

However, Qin Yuan had nearly exhausted his methods, and the moves he had not yet used were not ones to be pulled out at this time.

For a moment, even Qin Yuan hesitated.

The surrounding crowd all showed a bit of curiosity, wondering if these two would continue to fight.

"Hmph, do you think I would let you get away so easily? Allow you to obtain the legacy?" Qin Yuan said with a cold snort, his eyes fierce.

"Then you can try, I don’t mind continuing the fight," Xu Ping’an retorted with a cold huff, his gaze also becoming intensely fierce.

The people around were all surprised.

Would they really continue to fight?

"Boom!"

Just then, a terrifying roar came from above Purple Cloud Mountain.

Following that, the entire Purple Cloud Mountain began to shake violently, as if a massive earthquake had struck.

"What’s happening? Why is this happening?" someone yelled in alarm.

"Look quickly, the mountain path is closing up, the clouds and mist are coming back, run!" the crowd shouted in panic.

Everyone was astonished by this scene.

The mountain path of Purple Cloud Mountain was closing up again?

Xu Ping’an and Qin Yuan were both startled.

Once these mists enveloped the stairway again, their death was almost certain.

"Quick, Xu Ping’an, leave this place now," Yu Xianlan urged.

Du Bingxin and Gongsun Yao among others also wore anxious expressions.

The closing of Purple Cloud was happening too fast.

If they didn’t run now, it would truly be too late.

Xu Ping’an’s gaze also flashed with gravity, and he ultimately chose to leave.

Now, even if he could reach the halfway up the mountain, once the Purple Cloud closed up, he would be trapped here forever.

No matter how great the opportunity, it was not worth his life.

"Thinking of leaving, dream on," However, at that moment, Qin Yuan coldly snorted.

A Immortal Talisman appeared in his hand.

The moment the Immortal Talisman was released, it unleashed a powerful fluctuation.

An invisible wall directly sealed off Xu Ping’an’s path of escape.

No matter how Xu Ping’an attacked, he couldn’t break through this invisible barrier.

"A Twelfth Rank Immortal Talisman? Damn it!" Xu Ping’an cursed inwardly.

"Xu Ping’an!" Yu Xianlan cried out in shock, wanting to rush to Xu Ping’an’s aid.

"Hurry," Gongsun Yao next to her grabbed both her and Du Bingxin, not giving them a chance to leave.

She led them towards the foot of the mountain.

And just as they reached the base of the mountain, the Purple Cloud had completely covered the staircase.
