Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

"Zhao Tianlong, what do you mean by this?" Yu Lin roared furiously.

The Second Elder of the Yudao Sect also flew over, his gaze unfriendly.

His eyes, when looking at Xu Ping’an, were filled with extreme murderous intent.

"What do I mean? Yu Lin, you were the one who broke the rules first, and now you want to kill a disciple of the Beichen Sword Sect, do you think the Beichen Sword Sect has no one to stand for it?" Zhao Tianlong huffed coldly.

A Fourth Rank Peak tier aura burst forth, not the slightest bit inferior to Yu Lin.

It has to be said, although the younger generation of the Beichen Sword Sect was at a disadvantage, the older generation was still exceptionally formidable.

Xie Tianqiong also erupted with a powerful aura, ready to take action at any moment.

"Hmph, he killed two disciples of my Yudao Sect, this boy must die," Yu Lin bellowed, then proceeded to make a move.

Zhao Tianlong immediately prepared to respond to the battle.

They could not just stand by and watch Xu Ping’an get killed.

"Enough!"

At that moment, a thunderous shout rang out.

Mo Qingtian, the Sect Master of the Li Huo Sect, appeared directly between the two parties, his True Yuan bursting forth and immediately repelled both sides back.

"Sect Master Mo, what are you trying to do?" Yu Lin immediately demanded.

"Elder Yu, you have broken the rules by participating in the disciples’ battle yourself," Mo Qingtian said coldly.

If Yu Lin had only stopped Xu Ping’an’s previous sword strike, he wouldn’t have interfered.

But Yu Lin went further and made a move directly against Xu Ping’an, which was clearly a violation of the rules.

If he didn’t step in now, then the fairness of this competition might be called into question.

Moreover, the Ninth Prince was also present.

As for the fact that Xu Ping’an could kill Xue Wen right under Yu Lin’s watch, this was also unexpected to him.

"This boy is ruthless and had killed our Sect’s disciples. How is it wrong for me to strike him down?" Yu Lin continued indignantly.

"It was clearly you who wanted to kill me first. Elder Yu really knows how to twist the truth," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"You’re courting death!" Yu Lin was enraged.

However, Mo Qingtian acted instantaneously, unleashing a palm strike that sent Yu Lin flying.

After all, as a Fifth Layer Realm expert, dealing with Yu Lin was effortless for Mo Qingtian.

"Pfft!"

Yu Lin spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, flew back twenty zhang before stabilizing himself, and his gaze towards Mo Qingtian was also tinged with a hint of wariness.

"Elder Yu, everyone saw it. It was you who took action against Xu Ping’an first. As for Xu Ping’an killing Xue Wen, that occurred after your intervention," Mo Qingtian huffed.

Hearing this, Yu Lin’s face was pained, but he offered no rebuttal.

The fact that Xu Ping’an could still kill Xue Wen under his attack was something he did not anticipate.

Now, with Mo Qingtian stepping in, the likelihood of killing Xu Ping’an had become nearly impossible.

"Kid, just you wait, my Yudao Sect will not let this go. Let’s go," Yu Lin said coldly as he glanced at Xu Ping’an, then turned to leave.

All the disciples of the Yudao Sect followed suit and withdrew.

They had already lost this battle, and there was no point in staying any longer.

Originally, even if Xue Wen had been defeated, he could still have competed for the fifth place.

But with Xue Wen dead, what was there to compete for?

"I’ll certainly accompany you to the end," Xu Ping’an responded to Yu Lin’s threat without any sign of backing down.

If the Yudao Sect wanted to play this game, then he would accompany them to the bitter end.

Upon hearing this, Yu Lin gave Xu Ping’an a venomous look, and then led the people of the Yudao Sect away from the area.

All the people present were left in deep contemplation.

Xu Ping’an had actually killed Xue Wen.

This was completely beyond everyone’s expectations.

It appeared that Xu Ping’an truly was a ruthless person.

And the speed he displayed was also extremely terrifying.

He was actually able to dodge Yu Lin’s attack.

"The competition continues!"

Mo Qingtian gave Xu Ping’an a look and immediately called out.

After speaking, he returned to his principal seat.

"Are you alright?" Zhao Tianlong also looked at Xu Ping’an and asked.

"I’m fine, Great Elder," Xu Ping’an replied with a smile.

"What movement technique did you just use?" Zhao Tianlong asked with curiosity.

Just now, the speed at which Xu Ping’an dodged Yu Lin’s attack was incredibly fast.

"It’s a movement technique I created myself, called Thunder Nine Flashes. It’s not completely perfected yet, I can only execute two flashes," Xu Ping’an explained.

"Thunder Nine Flashes? A self-created combat technique?" Zhao Tianlong was slightly surprised.

If it were someone else making such a claim, he would have called it nonsense.

A third-rank disciple creating his own combat technique?

It would be good if he didn’t end up cultivating his way into deviating from the path.

But he knew Xu Ping’an was a reincarnated expert, whose insight and vision could likely surpass his own.

So, the fact that Xu Ping’an could create his own combat technique didn’t surprise him.

Nevertheless, this self-created movement technique was indeed a bit terrifying.

Xu Ping’an smiled slightly; in fact, Thunder Nine Flashes was indeed powerful.

But with his current strength, he actually couldn’t even perform a single flash.

The reason he was able to execute it just now was by borrowing the Chaotic Thunderous Sword Qi from the Thunder Devouring Sword.

Otherwise, he couldn’t have dodged an attack from a fourth-rank practitioner at the peak of the Ninth Layer.

"In that case, focus on your match," Zhao Tianlong said.

After speaking, he left the arena with Xie Tianqiong.

Xu Ping’an also returned to the stands.

"Amazing!" Long Yan and Zhao Kai were both extremely excited.

Xu Ping’an had actually killed Xue Wen.

Before, Xue Wen was so arrogant and even injured Tang Qingheng.

They had all been holding back their anger.

Now, seeing Xue Wen killed, they also felt extremely satisfied.

Li Qingyi’s eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Xu Ping’an.

The man she had set her heart on was indeed incomparably strong.

With a single move, he shocked everyone.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile when he saw Li Qingyi staring at him.

"I’m wondering how many Li Huo Sect girls would swoon if you used your full strength," Li Qingyi said.

Xu Ping’an didn’t know whether to laugh or cry upon hearing this.

"Don’t you realize that you’re very charming right now?" Li Qingyi added.

Xu Ping’an looked around and indeed noticed many Li Huo Sect female disciples looking at him with heated gazes.

That look was clearly one of admiration.

Xu Ping’an saw this and again didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"How do you know I haven’t used my full strength?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Just a guess!" Li Qingyi responded.

Xu Ping’an smiled slightly and said no more.

The top four spots had now been decided, leaving only the fifth spot remaining.

This spot would be determined by the four people who had just fought.

Undoubtedly, this spot belonged to Tang Yu.

After all, Xue Wen was dead, and neither Li Wanshan nor Chen Tai stood a chance against Tang Yu.

Of course, the top four still had to compete in the final showdown.

So the tournament was still far from over.

"I announce, the final competition will now begin. Those who attain one of the top three spots will be awarded rich prizes. The following match-ups will be Situ Feng against Li Qingyi, Lei Hu against Xu Ping’an. The winners will contend for first place, and the losers will fight for third," the Great Elder of the Li Huo Sect declared.

At these words, the entire audience was boiling with excitement.

A battle for the top three?

This would be the fiercest combat.

It remained to be seen who would emerge as the true number one.
