Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

The third son of the Zhou Family, at the Eighth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm. Unleashing his power at this moment, he punched out with a force of over 8,000 jin. His fist struck the void, carrying a few fierce gusts of wind, incredibly sharp. However, Xu Ping'an just chuckled lightly, "Even at the Eighth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm, you dare to be arrogant." Without using any True Elemental Power, his Qi-Blood surged within him, and he threw a punch. Pure physical strength and the massive surge of Qi-Blood made his flesh wall suddenly thicken. The blow landed on Zhou Tianhe's fist. The two forces exploded, creating a violent booming in the air. It was as if thunder had burst forth. Xu Ping'an remained unmoved, but Zhou Tianhe was forced to retreat several steps, his arm numb and unable to move. "What? Physical strength?" Zhou Tianhe was incredibly surprised. His eyes filled with shock. At this moment, Xu Ping'an felt to him like a humanoid demon beast, his punch of physical strength comparable to his own all-out strike? Is this even human? The Zhou Family members were also stunned. In fact, not just them, even Li Qingyi, Sun Qiu, and Tang Qingheng were all dumbfounded. This physical body... too strong! Dominant and unequaled in strength. "He must have cultivated some powerful Body Refinement Techniques, but to have tempered his body to such a degree is too terrifying," Li Qingyi thought in astonishment. Her initial choice of Xu Ping'an was just intuition, feeling that he might be able to offer her some help. But now, Xu Ping'an's strength was beyond her expectations. His current strength might not be much less than hers, and facing so many from the Zhou Family, he didn't show the slightest fear; he must still have some cards up his sleeve. "Xu Ping'an, just what kind of person are you?" Li Qingyi murmured to herself, finding him increasingly inscrutable and mysterious. With this thought, she couldn't help but glance at Zhou Mengyue. This woman who had once been Xu Ping'an's wife for a day. It seemed that her judgment was not that great, having missed out on Xu Ping'an and chosen Chen Tianqing instead. No, it was that guy named Wang Tianyu whom she had chosen back then. How unwise? And while Li Qingyi was filled with various thoughts. Xu Ping'an had already launched another attack on Zhou Tianhe. This time, Xu Ping'an didn't solely rely on his physical strength; he harnessed his True Yuan. He struck in an instant, directly unleashing the Thunder Triple Layer Technique, Third Layer. With one sword strike, the Sword Radiance turned into a residual shadow, slashing towards Zhou Tianhe. Zhou Tianhe was taken aback. He felt an extremely strong sense of threat. The power of this sword strike seemed very strong. Zhou Tianhe did not hesitate and used all his strength, displaying the Zhou Family's Fist Technique, the Jade Dragon Fist. As he executed it, his fist turned into jade, smashing towards Xu Ping'an's Sharp Sword. However, Xu Ping'an's Sharp Sword was much more powerful than he had imagined. With one slash, it managed to shatter Zhou Tianhe's fist. Another extremely powerful force traveled up his arm and into his body, instantly injuring his internal organs. "Pu!" Zhou Tianhe spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, incredulous with shock. Such a domineering force! "Tianhe, retreat quickly!" However, just at that moment, Zhou Kuiyu bellowed out. Zhou Tianhe's heart skipped a beat, his liver and gallbladder on the brink of shattering. He saw that Xu Ping'an's second sword strike had already been unleashed, and this one was different from the previous one. This strike was extremely fast and incomparably sharp. "Puchi!" Zhou Tianhe had no time to react, as Xu Ping'an's sword had already come down. The next moment, a head rolled off. Dead silence fell over the scene. Zhou Tianhe, at the Eighth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm, had been killed? "Tianhe!" Zhou Kuiyu and Zhou Lintian bellowed, their eyes red with rage. Their brother had been killed? Zhou Mengyue was also dumbstruck. Their uncle killed? In just two moves? ``` How is this possible? How could Xu Ping'an be so strong? "You're courting death, give back my third brother's life," Zhou Lintian roared furiously. Drawing out a long spear, he charged towards Xu Ping'an. With a thrust of the spear, an intensely hot breath accompanied it. It seemed as if red flames surged on the tip of the spear, with tremendous power. Yet Xu Ping'an merely sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. Immediately afterward, an extremely strong Sword Qi surged to the sky. "No good, Lintian, retreat quickly!" Zhou Kuiyu seemed to realize something and immediately shouted in alarm. The Great Elder of the Zhou Family also condensed his gaze and intervened in an instant. Zhou Lintian's pupils contracted, and a sense of great danger suddenly descended in his heart, prompting him to immediately attempt to withdraw. "Thinking of retreating now? Too late!" Xu Ping'an sneered, as the Sky-breaking Sword Technique was executed. One sword felled a fir tree; True Yuan flowed out from within him without reservation. With one slash, his figure turned into an afterimage, brushing past Zhou Lintian. The onlookers all around were shocked. So fast! What a fierce sword strike. With Xu Ping'an's sword slash, they felt as if a giant mountain had been cleaved in two. That Mountain-breaking momentum was domineering and unmatched. "Is that the Beichen Sword Sect's Sky-breaking Sword Technique? He actually mastered it?" Li Qingyi was extremely shocked. She had also practiced this Sword Decision but had failed. She had not expected Xu Ping'an to have learned it, and even though this strike had clearly not reached the Great Achievement Realm, its power was so terrifying. If this sword were to reach Great Accomplishment, wouldn't the power be even more frightening? "Bang!" The stiff body of Zhou Lintian suddenly burst open, splitting into two halves, falling to the ground. Yet on his face was an expression of incredible shock; had he really been killed with a single move? The people of the Zhou Family were all stunned. Although Zhou Lintian was not the strongest combat power within the Zhou Family, he was still at the peak level. Yet now, he had been slain by Xu Ping'an with a single move. Was Xu Ping'an this terrifying? And his method of killing was so brutal, splitting a person in half? The guards atop the surrounding wall of the Zhou Family compound all inhaled sharply. What a terrifying guy. "You scoundrel, accept your death!" The Great Elder of the Zhou Family was furious, slapping his palm towards Xu Ping'an. The True Yuan of the Ninth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm erupted, the aura incredibly domineering. Having just executed that sword technique, Xu Ping'an's True Yuan was hugely depleted; facing this palm, he too found it difficult to continue. "Bang!" Xu Ping'an was struck flying by the Great Elder of the Zhou Family, with a trickle of blood emerging from the corner of his mouth. "Hmph!" The Great Elder of the Zhou Family snorted coldly and continued to attack Xu Ping'an. He intended to completely eliminate Xu Ping'an, not giving him a chance to recover. "Xu Ping'an," Li Qingyi's face changed. With a flash, she appeared in front of Xu Ping'an, her Sharp Sword slicing through the air, turning into several sword shadows. The Great Elder of the Zhou Family's face changed, and he quickly released his True Yuan, striking the void numerous times with his palms to neutralize the Sword Qi. But he was also pushed back by the residual shockwave. "The Li Family's girl? You want to meddle in the affairs of the Zhou Family?" The Great Elder of the Zhou Family barked angrily, his eyes sharp. They had taken notice of Li Qingyi before, but since she hadn't made a move, they had ignored her. Now that Li Qingyi had intervened, they had no choice but to take her seriously. Among the three great cultivating families of the Tianlong River region, the Li Family was first, the Wang Family second, and the Zhou Family third. Was the Li Family going to support Xu Ping'an? This was their greatest concern. Xu Ping'an, seeing Li Qingyi taking action, was also somewhat surprised. He stuffed two Low Grade, Third Rank Purple Spirit Pills into his mouth; the Chaos Reverse Heaven Technique began to circulate, instantly dissolving the power of the Elixirs. The previously depleted Pill Sea was instantly restored with True Yuan. Purple Spirit Pills could quickly replenish the consumed True Yuan. ```
