Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 434 Mutual Calculations

Five people died, all within the span of a single breath.

The onlookers around were all dumbfounded.

Xu Ping’an was too strong; those Eighth Rank Cultivators stood no chance against him.

Moreover, his speed was too fast. With the boost of those azure wings, no one present could match his speed.

So even with three Semi-Step Ninth Rankers, it was to no avail.

Watching Xu Ping’an continuously absorbing the rewards from heaven and earth, everyone was both shocked and envious.

The guy kept making insane progress, and the rate of his improvement made everyone drool with envy.

"What a complete freak, this guy only ranked 98th on the Genius List? Has Wind and Cloud Pavilion lost their minds?" Duan Sirong said with a shocked face.

At this thought, she couldn’t help but glance over at Yan Zhenling.

At this moment, Yan Zhenling had already broken through to the Ninth Rank and had basically stabilized her cultivation.

Her aura was hidden and not revealed, and once she decided to act, no one present would be her match.

Others may not know, but she had personally heard Yan Zhenling address Xu Ping’an as ’Young Master’.

Which meant, Xu Ping’an had another Ninth Rank expert who had yet to make a move.

This time, it seems that Defying Heaven Alliance was going to take a fall.

Seemingly sensing Duan Sirong’s gaze, Yan Zhenling looked towards Duan Sirong.

The latter was instantly startled, thinking of her previous humiliation, she immediately felt a trace of fear.

Now, Yan Zhenling was someone she could no longer afford to provoke.

Yan Zhenling did not make a move towards Duan Sirong but continued to watch Xu Ping’an in the sky.

The combat power that Xu Ping’an displayed made even her express admiration.

Now that she had broken through to the Ninth Rank, she seemed to be only slightly stronger than Xu Ping’an.

If it came down to a fight to the death, it was still uncertain who would win and who would lose.

"Xu Ping’an won’t be in any trouble, will he?" Tang Qingyu asked.

"Don’t worry, Young Master won’t have any problems. These people can’t pose a real threat to him yet; instead, they will allow him to gain quite a few rewards," Yan Zhenling said.

Tang Qingyu nodded, she also felt that her worries were somewhat unnecessary.

Up to now, Xu Ping’an had never been at a disadvantage.

"Buzz!"

Xu Ping’an’s aura grew much stronger; his Water Attribute True Power had reached saturation, and within his body, Water Attribute Gang Energy was born anew.

His Taiyin True Force had also reached seventy percent, not far from saturation.

His Sun True Force had also reached fifty percent.

And his physical strength had reached about one hundred forty dragons.

Currently, his combat power had reached nine hundred and eighty dragons, getting very close to one thousand dragons.

Xu Ping’an felt that once his Taiyin and Sun True Forces saturated, he should be able to break the one thousand dragons limit.

"Continue!" Xu Ping’an immediately turned his gaze to those Eighth Rank Cultivators in the distance.

Those Eighth Rank Cultivators immediately shivered, feeling like they were being targeted by a fearsome tiger.

The roles between hunter and prey seemed to have switched.

"Damn it, this guy’s strength keeps increasing, and his speed is very fast; we can’t stop him at all," an elder with the last name Fang from Fire Divine Palace cursed angrily.

His speed was simply no match for Xu Ping’an’s.

Huang Ye was in the same position, not adept with speed either.

They had chased after Xu Ping’an for half a day, not even touching a piece of his clothing, and Xu Ping’an had killed five people in succession.

"Elder Yu, how is the progress with your soul attack? His Soul Power shouldn’t be so strong; why haven’t you made your move?" Huang Ye, also frustrated, looked towards the elder from Tianlong Hall.

Right now, they could only rely on the soul attack of this elder from Tianlong Hall.

Because compared to True Elemental Power, Xu Ping’an’s soul seemed somewhat weaker.

The elder from Tianlong Hall frowned deeply upon hearing this, grumbling in irritation, "This guy’s Niwan Palace is very peculiar and unbreakable, my Soul Attack was cast three whole times, yet it failed to breach his Niwan Palace. It’s as if his Niwan Palace is guarded by some powerful soul-type Immortal Artifact, making it very difficult to penetrate."

Upon hearing these words, Huang Ye and Fang Duanshan both showed expressions of astonishment.

Even Elder Yu Tu’s Soul Attack could not break through Xu Ping’an’s Niwan Palace?

After all, even they were extremely cautious of Yu Tu’s Soul Attack.

But now that Yu Tu had failed to penetrate Xu Ping’an’s Niwan Palace, how could they not be shocked?

"Damn it, this guy has too many secrets on him, trying to kill him without Ninth Rank strength is truly difficult," Fang Duanshan cursed angrily.

So many of their Eighth Rank, along with three Semi-Step Ninth Rank, had not been able to kill Xu Ping’an, which was infuriating.

"Are we supposed to retreat now? If we go back like this, we’re likely to be punished," Huang Ye also said with a face full of frustration.

He couldn’t help but look in the direction of Xu Ping’an.

Just as they were talking, Xu Ping’an had actually slain two more Eighth Rank Cultivators, both of whom were in the late stages of Eighth Rank.

The Taiyin and Sun True Forces descended, enveloping Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an frantically devoured them, continuously converting this power into his own.

No one present could absorb it, and of course, no one dared to come forward to fight for it.

These Eighth Rank Cultivators had directly become Xu Ping’an’s cash machines.

"We can’t retreat, if we retreat now, it will be even harder to kill him in the future. I have a powerful Soul Secret Technique that can kill him, but I need some time, and you have to hold him off," Yu Tu transmitted his voice immediately.

"That would be excellent, how long do you need?" Huang Ye’s eyes brightened immediately.

"Ten breaths," Yu Tu responded.

"Ten breaths should be enough, let’s go, stop him. As long as we delay his killing speed, he won’t leave easily," Huang Ye said.

Fang Duanshan also nodded and immediately made his move towards Xu Ping’an.

In their hearts, they had already given up on the others.

They planned to use these people to delay Xu Ping’an’s time, to give Yu Tu the chance for a one-strike kill.

Xu Ping’an did not know about these plans; at this moment, he was still pursuing the other seven Eighth Rank Strongmen.

His Sun True Force and Taiyin True Force were almost at saturation.

Once they reached saturation, his power could break through a thousand dragons; by then, even these Semi-Step Ninth Rank would not be his match.

However, the following events were not as smooth as he had imagined, every time he tried to strike down one of them.

Huang Ye and Fang Duanshan would intervene, striking at him directly.

Clearly, these two did not care at all for the lives of these people, aiming to take the opportunity to kill him during the moment of his attack.

Huang Ye was responsible for four, Fang Duanshan for three. Even though the two Semi-Step Ninth Rank were not as fast as Xu Ping’an, it was still difficult for him to kill them.

"Blocking my kills but not letting these people leave; are they just buying time?" Although Xu Ping’an was continuously attempting to strike, his mind was actively speculating.

He was not foolish; if these two truly wanted to protect those people, they could have easily gathered them together.

However, they did not do that. Instead, they allowed them to keep a distance from each other, which was inherently unreasonable.

The only explanation was, these people wanted to use these people to attract him, to hold him back.

What was the purpose of holding him back?

Where other powerhouses coming?

Or…

Suddenly, it was as if Xu Ping’an had realized something; he looked toward the distant Yu Tu.

Right, there’s another Semi-Step Ninth Rank, this Ninth Rank is actually standing on the lake surface, not making a move.

"This fluctuation, Soul Power, he is using a Soul Secret Art, aiming to strike me down in one blow?" Xu Ping’an suddenly understood the intentions of these people.

To kill him with Soul Power?

Why not use this opportunity to possibly counterattack?

With that thought, Xu Ping’an suddenly had a plan, and a trace of amusement surfaced in the depths of his eyes.
