Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Xu Ping'an faced two Ninth Layer warriors of the Sea-Splitting Realm, and neither of them was at the initial stage. The Zhou Family's Great Elder had reached the intermediate stage of the Ninth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm, while Zhou Kuiyu was even stronger, having reached the late stage of the Ninth Layer. Together, they were undoubtedly comparable to the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm. Although Xu Ping'an possessed strength that surpassed his own, at most he could match the initial stage of the Ninth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm. Now facing the two of them, the pressure was indeed great. However, Xu Ping'an had not a trace of fear, but on the contrary, he was extremely calm at this moment. In the face of both their attacks, he responded calmly, dissolving each one. Moreover, he was tempering, tempering both his physical body and True Yuan. The power of the Purple Spirit Pill he had taken earlier continuously surged within his body, replenishing his True Yuan without end. He wanted to use the pressure from both men to break through the Fifth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm in one fell swoop while also honing some of his physical strength. Moreover, because his breakthrough had been too rapid previously, although his foundation was solid, his True Yuan was somewhat bloated; now was the perfect opportunity to temper it. It must be said that in exchanging blows with the two of them, Xu Ping'an's mastery of his own strength became more proficient. And the speed at which his True Yuan circulated also became faster. The Pill Sea began to expand bit by bit under the impact of the True Yuan. This was a sign of an imminent breakthrough. "Damn it, this guy is using our power to temper himself; he wants to break through," Zhou Kuiyu immediately raged. Damn it, this guy isn't threatened by my attack, and he's even thinking of breaking through in the midst of combat? Zhou Muye also felt extremely distressed, had he become just a whetstone? If this got out, wouldn't he become a laughing stock in Tian Wu City? "Ping'an is using their strength to temper himself?" Sun Qiu was incredibly surprised. He had originally thought that Xu Ping'an would be in extreme danger facing the attacks of the two. Now it seemed that he had worried for nothing; Xu Ping'an was not concerned in the slightest and was even intending to break through during combat. Tang Qingheng was also extremely surprised, what kind of genius was this? To have such a terrifying idea. If it were them, their only thought would probably be to run away. Li Qingyi was also shocked. This was the real Xu Ping'an, the Xu Ping'an of grand ambition. She ultimately underestimated Xu Ping'an. With the demeanor of someone who could swallow mountains and rivers, what did two powerful enemies matter to Xu Ping'an? To him, these two powerful enemies were nothing more than his whetstones. Zhou Mengyue was completely stunned. Initially seeing Xu Ping'an suppressed and beaten by her father and the Great Elder, she was very happy. But seeing Xu Ping'an treating her own father as a whetstone, how could she not be shocked? How had Xu Ping'an become so powerful? "Looking for death!" Zhou Kuiyu was completely enraged and directly unleashed a Third Rank combat technique in an outburst, seemingly intending to completely kill Xu Ping'an. The Zhou Family's Great Elder Zhou Muye also executed a combat swordsman technique, slashing towards Xu Ping'an like a storm. The two great powers suddenly erupted, and the pressure Xu Ping'an faced soared. Of course, Xu Ping'an was also at a critical moment in his breakthrough. Using the gap when he repelled the two, Xu Ping'an tossed a Third Rank Superior Grade Jade Spirit Pill into his mouth. "Boom!" The terrifying spiritual energy exploded instantly. Xu Ping'an absorbed it frantically, and the True Yuan within his body expanded several times in an instant. His entire Pill Sea seemed as if it was about to burst. If the meridians within his body had not been tempered previously by the Sword Transformation Pool, plus his own physical body being extremely strong, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the power of this Third Rank Superior Grade elixir. Even so, the terrifying spiritual energy still almost burst his body. Xu Ping'an frantically executed the Sky-breaking Sword Decision and Mountain-breaking, launching one move after another. This move was originally hugely draining, but this time Xu Ping'an slashed out over a dozen swords in quick succession, only then preventing his True Yuan from exploding out of his body. "How crazy!" Li Qingyi who was watching was dumbfounded. Xu Ping'an had actually taken a Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Pill during combat. Such a pill, even if taken by a Second Rank Ninth Layer Realm warrior, could cause their body to burst. Yet Xu Ping'an not only withstood the strain but also launched over a dozen terrifying attacks in succession. The Mountain-breaking Sword Move erupted, not only shattering Zhou Kuishan and Zhou Muye's combat techniques but also causing them to retreat repeatedly, and even injuring them in several places with Sword Qi. "Damn it, this kid is crazy," Zhou Kuiyu cursed inwardly. He had never imagined Xu Ping'an would be so reckless as to fight while consuming a third-rank superior grade elixir. It was simply a frivolous waste of precious resources! Such an elixir was enough for him to break through the third rank. "Boom!" After Xu Ping'an executed more than a dozen Mountain-breaking Sword Moves, his Pill Sea suddenly expanded. He had achieved a realm breakthrough! He had advanced to the fifth layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm, and not just to the initial stage but straight to the peak of the fifth layer. "Again!" Xu Ping'an, feeling the changes in his cultivation, was immediately overjoyed. Once more, he fiercely attacked Zhou Kuiyu and Zhou Muye. The True Yuan inside Xu Ping'an, who had just broken through, was even more powerful and domineering, and each attack he launched was stronger. The feeling of being overextended from the breakthrough was steadily eliminated as he continued to engage in combat. "Damn it!" Zhou Kuiyu inwardly swore furiously. Xu Ping'an's sword moves were too exquisite. Before the breakthrough, Xu Ping'an was already capable of fighting both opponents, and now after the breakthrough, with his mastery over the sword moves, he and Zhou Muye were the ones being pressured. This made Zhou Kuiyu feel an urge to spew blood. Zhou Muye's face also went pale, his heart filled with extreme frustration. "Good, very good," Sun Qiu exclaimed with great joy. Tang Qingheng's face also showed a look of pleasure. Li Qingyi, although still with a calm expression, breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Far away, Zhou Mengyue's face was ashen, her fists clenched tight. Xu Ping'an was actually taking on two enemies at once and still gaining the upper hand. That was too terrifying! How long had he been cultivating? Half a month? Zhou Mengyue felt horrified just thinking about it. "Great Elder, don't hold back, kill him," Zhou Kuiyu suddenly bellowed. The next moment, a sharp sword appeared in his hands. As soon as the sword was revealed, Xu Ping'an's complexion instantly changed. "A semi-spiritual weapon? Even better than the Spirit Sword I obtained from Chen Tianqing?" Xu Ping'an was shocked and immediately felt a sense of crisis. He had not expected Zhou Kuiyu to have such a treasure. It seemed the Zhou family had really deep hidden resources. And just as Zhou Kuiyu brandished the Spirit Sword, Zhou Muye suddenly exploded into action, directly engaging Xu Ping'an. Xu Ping'an understood Zhou Muye's intention. He wanted to hold him off, while on the other side, Zhou Kuiyu was also gathering strength, apparently aiming to deliver a fatal blow to Xu Ping'an. Li Qingyi's face immediately changed. A semi-spiritual weapon? Wasn't Xu Ping'an in danger? "Ah!" However, at that moment, a scream suddenly rang out. All the onlookers' pupils contracted. What? Zhou Mengyue was even more stunned. Zhou Kuiyu, who was beside the building energy, also shook, nearly losing his focus and interrupting the buildup. Zhou Muye looked at Xu Ping'an's sword in shock, his eyes filled with utter astonishment. Just then, a long sword had suddenly appeared in Xu Ping'an's left hand. With one thrust, it pierced through his heart in an instant. "You... how do you have a semi-spiritual weapon?" Zhou Muye's eyes were filled with despair as he spoke unwillingly. At that moment, his life force was rapidly draining away. "Go ask King Yama!" Xu Ping'an pulled out the Spirit Sword and then immediately slashed with it. He directly decapitated Zhou Muye on the spot. The head rolled to the ground. There was total silence all around.
