Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 429 Primordial Ancient Star Holy Body

Ouyang Yan also looked at Xu Ping’an with a stunned expression on his face.

Lao Li had been following him for more than twenty years, watching him grow from a child.

Ouyang Yan was all too aware of Lao Li’s capabilities.

Though not as naturally gifted as those geniuses, he could still count as a veteran among those at the Eighth Rank Peak.

And yet, facing Xu Ping’an, was Lao Li not even a match for a single move from him?

The power of Heaven and Earth?

Xu Ping’an actually mastered the power of Heaven and Earth?

And his True Elemental Power seemed to be of extremely high quality.

It was precisely because of this unique and overpowering True Yuan that he was able to kill Lao Li with a single blow.

Ouyang Yan’s gaze towards Xu Ping’an suddenly turned solemn.

"I had no intentions of battling you, but you insisted on having this elder strike at me. For that, you can’t blame me for being ruthless," Xu Ping’an said coldly, his eyes fiercely fixed on Ouyang Yan.

Ouyang Yan instantly felt an immense pressure.

The oppression Xu Ping’an brought him was no less than the pressure from some geniuses.

At this moment, Ouyang Yan also realized he had underestimated Xu Ping’an.

The Xu Ping’an before him was extremely strong, and his talents were exceptionally high as well.

To be able to slay an Eighth Rank Peak strongman from the Seventh Rank First Layer Realm, his talents and potential were truly genuine, deserving of a place on the genius rankings.

"Xu Ping’an, I admit I have indeed underestimated you. However, precisely because of this, I am now even more eager to battle with you."

Ouyang Yan said coldly, his eyes brimming with a strong desire to fight.

The might of Xu Ping’an sparked an intense battle spirit within him, and he was determined to see who was superior.

If he retreated today, he might forever lose the qualification to reach the pinnacle of power.

The heart of a strong warrior cannot falter.

Xu Ping’an, sensing Ouyang Yan’s battle spirit, surprisingly showed a trace of surprise on his face.

It seemed that Ouyang Yan was no ordinary individual, possessing both pride and strength to rank on the genius list.

Indeed, the path of the strong sometimes depended on sheer willpower.

If that willpower were to deflate, then one might never be able to step onto the path of the strong again.

There have been mighty warriors who walked the path of the unbeaten, constantly challenging the strong.

Each battle was fought on the edge of life and death, yet he continued to sweep through, accumulating the conviction of victory.

This invincible conviction is also a kind of strong spirit, one of the strongest.

Once cowardice sets in, the path to invincibility is severed, and one may never become a peerless strong warrior again.

But the path of the invincible is not so easily traversed.

Since ancient times, beneath the path of the invincible lie countless bones; there have been very few who could walk it to the end.

Ouyang Yan was similar; though he had not walked the path of the invincible, the heart of a strong warrior should not be extinguished.

Therefore, Ouyang Yan’s choice was somewhat unexpected to Xu Ping’an.

"It seems we’re truly going to fight."

Duan Sirong’s face showed shock, with intense anticipation also bubbling in her eyes.

Although she had not made it to the genius ranking, she was still a notable talent.

At this moment, she was filled with strong anticipation for the battle between Xu Ping’an and Ouyang Yan.

Many around were also boiling with excitement.

Being able to witness a battle between exceptional geniuses of the genius rankings, even if they gained nothing else from Heavenly Dao Mountain, their trip was already worthwhile.

"Since you seek a battle, I shall grant you one. But this fight will determine life and death, do you dare?" Xu Ping’an asked with a light chuckle.

Having decided to fight, it would naturally be a battle to the death.

If Ouyang Yan didn’t even dare to accept this challenge, then there would be no need to continue fighting.

He too fostered the notion of walking the invincible path, slaying all the way up the genius rankings, wouldn’t that be delightful?

In fact, Xu Ping’an also wanted to seize this opportunity to properly hone himself.

His progress had been too rapid as of late; he needed to test his mettle against some unique geniuses.

Though Ouyang Yan was not yet a true top-tier genius, he was barely sufficient for the task.

"What is there to fear?" Ouyang Yan said with a domineering tone.

Xu Ping’an gave a slight smile and was about to make his move.

However, from afar, suddenly dozens of sounds of cutting through the air came.

Xu Ping’an furrowed his brows, and a surge of murderous intent emerged in his eyes.

A total of twenty-four people, with twenty at the Eighth Rank, among which six were at the Eighth Rank Peak. There were also three whose auras were even more terrifying than those at the Eighth Rank Peak, they could be considered half a step into the Ninth Rank.

The remaining Eighth Rankers varied in strength but each one’s aura was not weak either.

As for the other four, Xu Ping’an did recognize them; they were precisely the four from the Earth Divine Sect that he had seen before, led by Yuan Chengbing.

"Is it them? Ping’an, they probably have no good intentions. These people are all from the Earth Divine Sect and Fire Divine Palace, most likely they’re targeting you," Tang Qingyu hurriedly transmitted her voice.

"Mhm, I know, be careful later on. They are probably targeting me and might not attack you. Once the fight starts, you should leave quickly, don’t worry about me," Xu Ping’an transmitted back.

Just now, the character for "ferocity" in his mind had also started to pulsate, indicating that these people were indeed coming for him.

"But..." Tang Qingyu was startled and bit her lip firmly.

"Rest assured, nothing will happen to me. It’s fine if they don’t strike against me, but if they really do, I’ll make sure they know the consequences of targeting me," Xu Ping’an responded dominantly, his eyes brimming with a tangible murderous intent.

He was not someone to be trifled with, especially with the corpse of an ancestor of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty nearby.

"Alright, then you be careful," Tang Qingyu agreed, but a strong desire to become stronger welled up in her heart.

Before, she had not realized how great the gap between her and Xu Ping’an was, but now, seeing Xu Ping’an’s enemies all being Eighth Rank Strongmen, she truly understood the massive gulf between them.

She liked Xu Ping’an and wanted to fight for him.

But when Xu Ping’an faced his enemies, she could do nothing, and might even become a burden to him.

This sense of powerlessness made her, who once considered herself a genius, feel a strong sense of inferiority.

At the same time though, this self-doubt also sparked a desire to grow stronger within her.

"Xu Ping’an, even if I can’t keep up with your pace, I will try my best to always be able to see your back," Tang Qingyu murmured as she gazed at Xu Ping’an’s upright figure.

Xu Ping’an was unaware of Tang Qingyu’s thoughts; at this moment, he transmitted once again to Yan Zhenling.

"How is your breakthrough going?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"Soon, the Heavenly Gate is already half open, in just one more incense stick’s time I will break through to the Ninth Rank. My lord, do you need me to take action?" Yan Zhenling inquired.

She had also noticed the arrival of this group.

"No need, after you break through, help me take care of Tang Qingyu. I’ll handle the rest myself," Xu Ping’an replied.

"Understood, my lord," Yan Zhenling immediately responded.

If before she might have doubted Xu Ping’an’s words, now she believed in him unconditionally.

...

"It’s him, that is Xu Ping’an, he’s indeed here," Yuan Chengbing declared as he pointed at Xu Ping’an.

Instantly, all twenty Eighth Rank Strongmen turned their gazes to Xu Ping’an, sizing him up.

"Elder, should we make our move?" Li Mu asked right away.

"No rush, let’s watch for a while, he seems to be about to engage in a decisive battle," the leading elder spoke.

"The one he is confronting is Ouyang Yan, from the Heavenly Spirit Realm’s Immortal Hall. He is currently ranked 99th on the list of geniuses. It appears he has sought out Xu Ping’an to compete for a ranking on the list of geniuses," Bai Feng, a disciple of Upper Profound Heaven, said as he looked towards Ouyang Yan.

Upon hearing this, the strongmen instantly understood the identity of the person confronting Xu Ping’an.

The Heavenly Spirit Realm’s Immortal Hall? That was their Defying Heaven Alliance’s faction too.

With this in mind, they were even less in a hurry to take action.

If Xu Ping’an were to fall to Ouyang Yan, it would save them quite a bit of trouble.

"It seems your trouble has arrived, the people from the Defying Heaven Alliance are here," Ouyang Yan said with a cold smirk.

"So you’re saying that roar of yours at the beginning was deliberate?" Xu Ping’an asked indifferently.

"Indeed, it was on purpose. After all, our Heavenly Spirit Realm is also a force within the Defying Heaven Alliance. There was an order to hunt you down in the alliance, and although it’s not a mission for our Heavenly Spirit Realm, helping out when possible is only natural," Ouyang Yan replied with a cold laugh.

"Is that so, you aren’t confident about killing me?" Xu Ping’an asked with a cold smirk.

"It’s just an extra layer of insurance. Don’t worry, they probably won’t attack right now and in the end, you will still die by my hand."

Ouyang Yan took a step forward, his body erupting with a strong, star-like radiance.

A powerful Power of Taiyin emanated from him.

Ouyang Yan appeared like a dazzling star hanging in the sky, with an aura of ancient oppression.

Majestic, cold, earth-shattering.

"Such a strong aura, is that the Primordial Ancient Star Body?" the surrounding crowd was immediately astonished.

Was Ouyang Yan planning to use the Primordial Ancient Star Body right from the start?
