Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 458: Ninth Rank Sneak Attack

Xu Ping’an continually unleashed Sword Qi, each strike infused with the mighty fluctuations of Heaven and Earth’s forces.

By now, he had reached the late stage of integrating with the Heaven and Earth forces.

Each slash contained powerful tremors of the terrestrial forces.

Such tremors, even if the opponent managed to block his Sword Qi, could transmit the terrifying vibrations into the opponent’s body, inflicting severe damage.

The combined combat technique of the four guards before him was decently powerful, but not enough to trouble him.

The only thing causing Xu Ping’an a headache was that group of five successive puppet guards.

These puppets were made from Low Grade Immortal Artifact Grade gold refinement, and every time Xu Ping’an repelled them, they rapidly counterattacked.

Because these puppets felt no pain.

That was the reason Xu Ping’an was being held back.

Of course, the main reason was that Xu Ping’an didn’t wish to be, otherwise these nine Eighth Rank individuals couldn’t have stopped him at all.

What truly made Xu Ping’an apprehensive was the almost imperceptible fluctuation around Qin Li.

"A Ninth Rank Expert?" Xu Ping’an murmured to himself.

A Ninth Rank Expert was lurking in the vicinity of Qin Li, covertly protecting him.

Clearly, the opponent was waiting for him to attempt an assassination on Qin Li, so they could take this opportunity to inflict a serious injury on him.

"Thinking to catch the cicada?" Xu Ping’an sneered inwardly.

If that was the case, then he might as well slay these nine Eighth Rankers first, clip your wings, at least that would cause you much pain.

With this thought, Xu Ping’an no longer held back, as the Metal Attribute and Thunder Attribute True Elemental Energy burst forth.

In the next instant, Xu Ping’an’s combat power surged.

An Eighth Rank guard swung his sword towards Xu Ping’an, executing the Tianlong Slash, which combined the strength of four people, producing a force of over a thousand dragons.

Such force, despite not being able to hurt Xu Ping’an, could barely withstand his attacks each time they collided.

He thought it would be the same this time, but it was completely beyond his expectation.

Xu Ping’an’s sword was too fast, its power terrifying beyond measure.

The moment his attack collided with Xu Ping’an’s, it was crushed as if it were a decaying wood being snapped effortlessly.

"No…" Before the guard could react, he was cut in half by Xu Ping’an, along with his sword.

"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback.

Why had Xu Ping’an’s attack power suddenly increased by so much?

Before they had time for further thought, Xu Ping’an turned into a bolt of Thunder Light, reappearing behind another guard, behind whom now spread a pair of azure wings.

"Pu-chi!"

Another sword strike.

Another guard was directly sliced.

Subsequently, the remaining two guards could not escape Xu Ping’an’s Sharp Sword either.

With Xu Ping’an’s terrifying speed, they stood absolutely no chance of dodging.

Without their combined combat technique, Xu Ping’an slaughtered them as if he were chopping vegetables.

The surrounding crowd was in utter shock.

Four Eighth Rankers were killed in merely an instant.

Too fast.

Many in the crowd hadn’t even processed what had happened before all four were dead.

Seeing this scene, Qin Li’s complexion turned to the darkest shade of gloom.

These four guards were cultivated at a tremendous cost by him.

But now they had been easily slain by Xu Ping’an.

"Make your move?" Qin Li transmitted his voice to the void behind him.

"Wait a bit longer, now is not the right time to strike." A voice echoed in Qin Li’s mind.

Qin Li didn’t respond, but his heart couldn’t help feeling extremely irritated.

"Pu-chi!"

An Eighth Rank Cultivator from Tiankui Sect was pierced through the brow with a delicately crafted Jade Knife and killed on the spot.

The remaining four disciples of Tiankui Sect were immensely shocked, overtaken by terror.

Seeing their companion quickly fall dead beside them, they too felt the fear of death.

And with Xu Ping’an exhibiting terrifying speed, their puppets could no longer keep up with him.

Meaning, they couldn’t predict whether Xu Ping’an might suddenly appear beside them.

"Pff!"

Xu Ping’an reappeared behind a Tiankui Sect Eighth Rank Cultivator of the Ninth Layer Realm.

With a slash of his sword, a head rolled to the ground.

The sword light was cold and piercing, blood dripped profusely.

Everyone around was completely stunned.

This guy was too ruthless.

None of these Eighth Rank Cultivators had any chance of resisting in front of Xu Ping’an.

"If you don’t take action now, all your Eighth Rank brothers from the Tiankui Sect will be dead," Qin Li could no longer suppress the rage in his heart.

The figure in the dark could no longer hold back either.

He immediately made a move towards Xu Ping’an.

Just as Qin Li had said, if he didn’t take action, the Eighth Rank Cultivators of the Tiankui Sect would all be dead.

By then, even if they could kill Xu Ping’an, the price would be more than they could bear.

As he was about to kill the third Tiankui Sect Cultivator, the character for "ferocity" in Xu Ping’an’s mind suddenly began to pulsate rapidly.

Xu Ping’an’s heart skipped a beat.

That Ninth Rank Expert couldn’t hold back any longer and had made his move?

Sure enough, Xu Ping’an felt an inexplicable force rapidly closing in on him.

"Meteorfall."

Without any hesitation, Xu Ping’an fused his Metal Attribute, Thunder Attribute, and Fire Attribute True Elementals together.

With a slash of his sword, his Gang Energy also erupted instantaneously.

With this strike, Xu Ping’an unleashed his power to the extreme.

He knew his opponent was of the Ninth Rank and if he allowed his foe any time to prepare, his all-out strike might not be effective.

Now, taking advantage of his opponent’s attack and going all out himself, he caught the enemy off guard.

"What?"

Indeed, the Tiankui Sect’s Sect Master, hidden in the shadows, saw the sword coming towards him and his expression changed dramatically.

The power of this sword was so immense that even he felt a severe threat.

"Buzz!"

The Sect Master of the Tiankui Sect had no choice but to use the Indestructible Force to mount a full defense.

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion shook the heavens.

The two forces collided.

The other Tiankui Sect Cultivators nearby were instantly killed by the terrifying blast of energy.

Xu Ping’an was also sent flying backward.

However, as Xu Ping’an flew backward, a middle-aged man in a black robe was also sent flying from the center of the explosion.

Xu Ping’an’s figure flew a hundred zhang before finally stabilizing.

Covering his chest, a trace of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

His gaze was fixed on the black-robed man in the distance.

At this moment, the man coughed up blood, his eyes filled with astonishment as he looked at Xu Ping’an.

"Sect Master of Tiankui Sect, Zhang Yan? He really did come," Qin Mu immediately said.

Li Xuanqing and the others frowned slightly, "Isn’t the Sect Master of Tiankui Sect an Eighth Rank Cultivator?"

"It looks like he was hiding his cultivation level, but judging by his strength, he should be of the Ninth Rank First Layer Realm," Xue Hu said.

"Ninth Rank First Layer Realm? And he actually attempted to ambush Brother Xu? And failed?" Li Xuanqing was quite shocked.

"Brother Xu is truly unfathomable. He must have already noticed this Zhang Yan. You also saw the explosion just now, the fusion of three kinds of True Elementals, the power was no less than that of a Ninth Rank First Layer Realm," Xue Hu couldn’t help but feel amazed.

Li Xuanqing nodded his head.

Xu Ping’an’s strength refreshed his understanding once again.

A Seventh Rank Third Layer with the strength comparable to a Ninth Rank First Layer Realm.

If this were told to others, probably no one would believe it.

"An ambush that failed?" Qin Li was extremely irritable.

He had originally thought that with Zhang Yan making a move, Xu Ping’an would be swiftly killed, but not only did that not happen, Zhang Yan had even been injured?
