Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Song Qing and the other two were nearly driven mad.

They had just been chased by a Vajra Giant Ape, and now they were being hunted down by an even stronger Purple-patterned Single-horned Python.

This Purple-patterned Single-horned Python was adept at using Thunder and was extremely fast.

The three of them were almost completely overpowered.

Li Mu had an arm swallowed by the Purple-patterned Single-horned Python and was now seriously injured.

Wang Qi didn’t fare much better, his chest struck by Thunder, charred black, and he was on the brink of death.

As for Song Qing, he too was in a dire state, with severe injuries, and his internal organs were all but shattered.

Even if healed, his path in cultivation would have come to an end.

At this moment, the three had just managed to escape the pursuit of the Purple-patterned Single-horned Python, filled with immense anger.

"Damn it, how could there be a Purple-patterned Single-horned Python? Was Xu Ping’an swallowed by this Purple-patterned Single-horned Python?" Li Mu said in confusion.

"I think we’ve been had. This Purple-patterned Single-horned Python was probably brought here by that Xu Ping’an. He intentionally delayed us, causing us to entangle with the Vajra Giant Ape for a long time, and then he brought the python to kill us," Song Qing said with a cold glint in his eyes.

They had intended to outsmart Xu Ping’an, but hadn’t expected to be outsmarted in return.

"Did Xu Ping’an discover our plan?" Li Mu frowned.

"He must have. I didn’t expect this guy to be so cunning, pretending to be unaware and then turning the tables on us," Song Qing said with a frown.

"They all deserve to die!" Wang Qi clenched his fists, his eyes filled with a murderous intent.

Li Mu’s face was also grim, his heart brimming with towering rage.

They had actually been tricked by Xu Ping’an; it was like capsizing in the gutter.

"Xu Ping’an, if I don’t kill you, I, Song Qing, will not consider myself human," Song Qing roared.

"Oh? You’re not going to be human, so are you planning to become a dog?"

However, just then, a mocking laugh sounded.

Song Qing and the other two immediately looked towards the direction of the sound, their eyes instantly turning blood-red.

"Xu Ping’an, you actually dare to show up!" Song Qing said with a look that wanted to devour someone alive.

Li Mu and Wang Qi’s eyes were also filled with extreme anger, brimming with murderous intent.

"Why wouldn’t I dare to show up? You tried to set me up first. I just did the opposite to you. The real problem is you attempted to harm others first," Xu Ping’an said with a light chuckle.

"Hmph, even if we wanted to set you up, so what? We may be severely injured, but you, a mere Sea-Splitting Realm First Layer, can still be killed by the three of us," Song Qing said with a cold snort.

Although they were heavily injured, they still had the strength to fight. Xu Ping’an showing up now was simply courting death.

"You are welcome to try!" Xu Ping’an said calmly with a smile.

"Kill!" Suddenly, Wang Qi burst forth, his Sea-Splitting Realm Fourth Layer cultivation erupting completely.

With a hefty True Yuan, he lunged with his spear towards Xu Ping’an.

Despite the injury, his speed was extremely fast, his Combat Power still no weaker than that of a general Sea-Splitting Realm Third Layer.

"Hmph!"

With a cold hum, Xu Ping’an didn’t even draw his sword but simply flashed his figure and appeared in front of Wang Qi.

"Bang!"

A punch landed squarely on Wang Qi’s chest.

Wang Qi’s chest exploded on impact.

"Puh!"

Blood spurted from Wang Qi’s mouth as his body was sent flying, crashing into a distant tree trunk that burst apart.

Wang Qi fell to the ground, his life hanging by a thread.

Seeing this, Li Mu and Song Qing’s faces drastically changed.

That punch was extremely domineering and fierce.

Xu Ping’an’s strength was definitely more than just Sea-Splitting Realm First Layer!

"Did you really think I was just an ordinary Sea-Splitting Realm First Layer?" Xu Ping’an chuckled, turning his head to look at Song Qing and Li Mu.

His Physical Body had entered the Qi-Blood Realm Twelfth Layer, and his physical strength was already terrifying.

Having reached the Sea-Splitting Realm with four meridians fully connected.

The Thunder Third Layer Sword was only a step away from the third layer, and when applied to his fist technique, the power was extremely terrifying.

Even in his prime, Wang Qi wouldn’t have been able to withstand this punch, let alone when he was injured.

"This guy has hidden his strength, let’s go together and kill him," Song Qing said immediately.

After speaking, he and Li Mu attacked at the same time, one wielding a sword and the other a cleaver, both employing formidable combat techniques as they charged at Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an chuckled lightly, took out a Mysterious Iron Sword from the token space, and then immediately swung his sword.

The sword light was chilling, with hints of thunder surging within.

"Puchi!"

Li Mu was directly cleaved into two halves, along with his cleaver.

Song Qing, who was attacking from the side, instantly became stupefied, and the next moment, he turned his head without looking back and fled.

"Thinking of leaving, I’m afraid it’s too late!" Xu Ping’an chuckled, executed the Ghost Cloud Step, and in a blink, he had caught up with Song Qing.

With a swing of his sword, Song Qing’s head rolled to the ground.

The other party didn’t even have a chance to defend.

Looking at the three people he had slain, Xu Ping’an slightly furrowed his brows.

"I’m just a hair away from breaking through to the third layer of Thunder Third Layer Sword. It’s a pity they were too weak to apply any pressure on me. Otherwise, I might have been able to break through to the third layer of the Thunder Third Layer Sword. Once I break through to the third layer, even those at the sixth layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm would be no match for me," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

After searching their bodies, he found some gold coins and two second-rank healing pills.

These two healing pills both came from Song Qing, it seemed the other two didn’t know about them. It’s unsure if they were also deceived by Song Qing in the end.

"Perhaps if I want to break through, I should try with the Vajra Giant Ape," Xu Ping’an mused to himself.

So he headed straight for the Vajra Giant Ape’s cave.

He wasn’t after the treasure, only the breakthrough.

The arrival of Xu Ping’an naturally provoked the rage of the Vajra Giant Ape once again.

Xu Ping’an was not a match for the Vajra Giant Ape, and so he was completely suppressed by it.

Luckily, his Ghost Cloud Step was already at a near-perfect level, and with his elusive movement technique, Xu Ping’an managed to fight the Vajra Giant Ape for an incense stick’s time.

In the end, at the very last moment, Xu Ping’an broke through to the third layer of the Thunder Third Layer Sword, Energy Transformation.

Although he didn’t manage to kill the giant ape, he did leave several sword marks on its body.

Eventually, Xu Ping’an retreated, leaving the giant ape to roar in fury.

From afar, Xu Ping’an was also feeling extremely helpless.

"It’s a pity that the sword I wield is too short, otherwise I might have been able to kill this giant ape. It seems that if I want to obtain the Soleil Fruit, I’ll have to think of another way," Xu Ping’an thought to himself.

"Perhaps..."

Suddenly, Xu Ping’an’s eyes lit up as he came up with a good idea.

Thus, his figure immediately disappeared into the jungle again.

At this moment, it was already the fourth night.

Xu Ping’an hid in a large tree, watching the distant campfire and sneering to himself.

How could someone dare to light a fire in the Wilderness Forest?

Were they here to enjoy the scenery?

Looking at the four people in front of the campfire, Xu Ping’an sneered coldly to himself.

Indeed, the four people in front of the campfire were Zhou Mengyue, Chen Tianqing, and two others whom Xu Ping’an had been searching for, all day.

At the moment, Zhou Mengyue was leaning against Chen Tianqing, speaking in a seductive manner about something.

Chen Tianqing had a smug look on his face.

As for Chen Wanshan and Chen Qinglong, they stood to one side, vigilantly watching their surroundings to guard against a surprise demon beast attack.

Xu Ping’an hid in the large tree, completely silent.

Merging with the night, he waited for the right moment to strike.
