Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Li Qingyi actually took the initiative to propose a duel with Xu Ping'an, which totally caught everyone by surprise. "What is Li Qingyi trying to do? Isn't she on good terms with Xu Ping'an?" "Are you stupid? They're just sparring, flaunting their love, you idiot!" "So that's it, no wonder Li Qingyi is smiling so brilliantly, damn, it's such a knock to one's confidence." ... Disciples around the field were discussing nonstop. Many disciples felt extremely heartbroken. They had been romantically rejected! Their #1 goddess seemed to have really fallen for someone else. Even Tang Qingheng, Long Yan, and others wore helpless expressions. They usually wanted to spar with Li Qingyi, yet she wouldn't even acknowledge them. And now, Li Qingyi was actually taking the initiative to fight Xu Ping'an, which was simply enviable. Even the elders on the high platform were all showing their amazement. Zhou Mengyue's gaze grew dim, her heart filled with unwillingness. "Alright, then let's have a battle, don't hold back, I also want to see just how strong I am now," Xu Ping'an said with a smile. Hearing this, Li Qingyi immediately floated down onto the arena. "Junior Brother Xu, I have always been grateful to you, but never had the chance to say it. During the last sect trial, you saved me, and this time I could awaken my bloodline, it was all thanks to you. Without you, I, Li Qingyi, would not have made the progress I have now," Li Qingyi said earnestly. The disciples on the field were extremely surprised. Li Qingyi's bloodline awakening, was it Xu Ping'an who helped? And he had even saved Li Qingyi's life before? No wonder Li Qingyi held Xu Ping'an in such high regard! Many disciples realized this, and at the same time, they envied Xu Ping'an's deep entanglement with Li Qingyi. Xu Ping'an shook his head with a smile. He truly didn't care about these things. "Senior Sister Li, I know you don't care about these things, but I still want to say it. You probably already know, I admire you," Li Qingyi continued. All the male disciples in the audience gasped. Was Li Qingyi making a public confession? To confess in front of all the disciples? Countless male disciples clenched their fists tightly, their hearts bleeding. Their goddess, openly confessing her feelings to another man. This was like stabbing them right in the heart! The elders on the high platform were all taken aback. The proud Li Qingyi, actually confessing to a man, what kind of man had such great ability? Xu Ping'an gave a bitter smile, "Senior Sister Li, there's no need to say anymore." "No, I want to say this, Junior Brother Ping'an, I want everyone to know that I, Li Qingyi, admire you. Not because you saved me or helped me, but for your courage, talent, and grace. You are the most outstanding man I have ever met," she said. "I know you don't like me yet, but I, Li Qingyi, will strive to gain your recognition." Li Qingyi's eyes were determined, her smile revealing a radiant beauty that could topple empires. Her clothes danced around her, stunningly ethereal. So beautiful! Confident, audacious, alluring, bold in love and hate! At that moment, Li Qingyi's beauty was incomparable. All the disciples internally remarked how lucky Xu Ping'an was to be favored by Li Qingyi. Xu Ping'an was also moved, he never expected Li Qingyi to speak such words in front of the entire sect. "I also want to say something to Zhou Mengyue in the stands. You really are blind. Junior Brother Ping'an is so outstanding, yet you betrayed him for a piece of trash like Chen Tianqing. The person you, Zhou Mengyue, didn't want, in my view, Li Qingyi, is a treasure," Li Qingyi's gaze suddenly turned sharp as a sword as she looked down at Zhou Mengyue in the stands. All eyes turned towards Zhou Mengyue as well. Zhou Mengyue's face instantly turned deathly pale, biting her lips hard. She had not expected Li Qingyi to suddenly target her. In that moment, Chen Tianqing was inwardly cursing incessantly. Bitch! To actually call him trash! "Oh, you, Li Qingyi, think you're so proud?" "I'm going to make you pay for everything today." Chen Tianqing was furious and immediately turned to leave. Xu Ping'an hadn't expected Li Qingyi to say such a thing. Must say, it was really satisfying! This woman was truly exceptional, and if it weren't for his reluctance to be easily moved, he might have actually been touched by her. "Go ahead, I just want to see my true strength," Xu Ping'an said with a smile. "Good, I will also give it my all to prove to you my strength," Li Qingyi said with a determined look in her eyes. Xu Ping'an gave a slight smile. Li Qingyi was cool on the outside but warm on the inside—a woman hard not to make a deep impression. Such a woman was indeed a fatal poison for men. "Alright, in fighting with you, I won't use a shield, I'll use a sword," Xu Ping'an nodded, withdrawing the shield into his body and replacing it with the Sunrise Sword. Everyone was shocked to see Xu Ping'an choose a sword. Does this mean that people like Long Yan didn't even qualify to make Xu Ping'an use a sword? Xu Ping'an was actually this powerful. Li Qingyi was at the Intermediate Stage of the Third Rank, Fifth Layer Realm! This battle was probably going to be very exciting. On the high platform, the elders were also incredibly surprised; they couldn't see through Xu Ping'an at all. "Somehow, I suddenly feel a surge of excitement. Being young is truly great!" Dugu Tianyu said with a laugh. Looking at the two people on the stage, they seemed like a match made in heaven. If these two could be together, it would indeed be a wonderful story. Fifth Elder Song Ruoxi said nothing but looked towards Xu Ping'an. Was he really worth Li Qingyi going to such lengths? She didn't know Xu Ping'an well, but Li Qingyi was her disciple, treated like her own daughter. So she didn't want Li Qingyi to suffer setbacks in love. "Junior brother Ping'an, forgive my offense!" Li Qingyi suddenly smiled, and the Spirit Sword appeared in her hands. The next moment, her figure flashed, instantly covering a distance of thirty feet and appearing in front of Xu Ping'an. With a horizontal slash, continuous shadows of the sword appeared. Stack Waves Sword Technique, Ninth Layer! No, to be precise, it was the unification of Nine Swords! Many disciples in the field showed a look of surprise. Li Qingyi was really serious, actually executing the unification of Nine Swords in the Stack Waves Sword Technique! The elders were also shocked. "Qingyi's talent is truly strong, having mastered the unification of Nine Swords within the Stack Waves Sword Technique. This sword, within the Fifth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm, I'm afraid no one can stop it," Second Elder Xie Tianqiong couldn't help but praise. "Indeed very strong. The unification of Nine Swords, ordinarily people at most learn the Ninth Sword and could never think to unify all nine. Elder sister Song, you've really taught a good disciple," Great Elder Zhao Tianlong said. Song Ruoxi also showed a satisfied smile. But inside, she was puzzled; she didn't recall teaching Qingyi the fusion of the Sword Techniques, did she? Did she comprehend it on her own? Xu Ping'an looked at the sword strike coming from Li Qingyi and also showed a smile. This girl was trying to show off her understanding to him. Back in the ancestral land, she hadn't even been able to integrate eight swords! Now, being able to execute the unification of Nine Swords was enough to prove her strong talent. "Mountain-breaking!" Xu Ping'an likewise slashed with his sword. It collided with Li Qingyi's strike. "Clang!" Two streams of Sword Qi collided, sweeping through the entire arena. The two touched swords and quickly moved apart again. It seemed they were equally matched!
