Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 468: Gathering at the Bronze Ancient Palace

"Savage Ape King, kill him," Xu Ping’an commanded immediately.

"Rest assured, he must die," the Savage Ape King declared as his figure transformed into a gigantic ape five meters tall.

He then erupted forth, charging towards He Xiao to kill him.

"Damn it, a Ninth Rank Demon Beast, the Savage Ape King?" He Xiao cursed angrily.

The Savage Ape King’s cultivation was now at the same level as his, both at the Ninth Rank Third Layer Realm, but in terms of combat power, the Savage Ape King was much stronger than him.

He had never imagined that the monkey on Xu Ping’an’s shoulder was actually the Ninth Rank Demon Beast, the Savage Ape King.

Seeing the Savage Ape King charging at him, He Xiao cursed in his heart a hundred times over, but he had no choice but to defend.

Xu Ping’an, of course, wasn’t idling either, continuously launching attacks that merged his three types of attributes.

It could be said that He Xiao was being attacked in a pincer move, every time he tried to kill Xu Ping’an first.

Xu Ping’an would quickly dodge, and with his movement technique, He Xiao couldn’t catch up at all.

Thus, leading to a very frustrating situation for He Xiao, who was constantly being suppressed by the Savage Ape King.

Each of the Savage Ape King’s attacks was extremely powerful, and although He Xiao could barely block them, he was still shaken and injured to some extent.

He Xiao kept spitting out blood, his injuries worsening.

"This won’t do, I can’t keep going like this. If it continues, I will surely die," He Xiao muttered to himself.

At this moment, he had already abandoned the idea of killing Xu Ping’an to seize the treasure and was instead looking for an opportunity to escape.

"Thinking of escaping?" Xu Ping’an sneered, immediately using his own movement technique to block He Xiao, resulting in every one of He Xiao’s escape attempts ending in failure.

"Damn it, you’re forcing my hand," He Xiao raged.

He proceeded to summon a square cauldron.

The square cauldron instantly enlarged, becoming a colossal giant cauldron.

Above the giant cauldron, an extremely terrifying aura pulsed.

Xu Ping’an’s expression changed at this scene.

"The Immortal King Cauldron? This guy has that thing?" Xu Ping’an said in surprise.

As a former ruler of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, he naturally knew the situation of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

The Immortal King Cauldron was a famous Immortal Artifact in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and it possessed massive power.

"Boom!" The Immortal King Cauldron smashed down.

A torrential might, like a tsunami, surged towards Xu Ping’an and the Savage Ape King.

The Savage Ape King attempted to resist but was directly blasted away by this terrifying surge.

Xu Ping’an, too, was not spared, rapidly retreating. The terror of this surge made his heart pound with fear.

After executing the giant cauldron, He Xiao’s face was also exceedingly pale.

With a wave of his hand, he took the square cauldron and vanished from the spot in a streak of light.

"He got away," Xu Ping’an sighed in resignation, watching He Xiao escape.

The Savage Ape King pounded his chest in fury as well.

Clearly, he was also exceptionally angry.

"Enough, if he’s escaped, then he’s escaped. Next time I see him, I’ll make sure to kill him," Xu Ping’an murmured to himself.

His current cultivation was not enough; he was no match for He Xiao.

However, the next time they met, he was certain he could slay him.

"Hmph, I didn’t expect he had such an artifact. That Immortal Cauldron had an aura of Immortal Level might; it’s normal that I couldn’t withstand it," the Savage Ape King grumbled in explanation.

Xu Ping’an chuckled and offered no rebuttal.

Indeed, with the strength of a Tenth Rank Expert imbued in it, how could the Savage Ape King, who had just entered the Ninth Rank, possibly resist?

"Boom!"

Just at that moment, a loud booming sound suddenly came from a distance.

Xu Ping’an and the Savage Ape King both turned towards the source of the sound.

"It’s the Bronze Anceint Palace; the Bronze Ancient Palace is about to open," Xu Ping’an observed, eyeing the direction of the commotion. It was precisely where the Bronze Ancient Palace was situated.

The Bronze Ancient Palace, located in the central region of the Sixth Layer, was the core of the Sixth Layer.

All chances and fortunes were actually related to the Bronze Ancient Palace.

"Let’s go over there and have a look," Xu Ping’an immediately said.

The Savage Ape King did not hesitate and transformed into a small monkey once again.

Xu Ping’an deployed his azure wings, and his figure turned into a rapid stream of light, flying towards the direction of the ancient bronze Demon Palace.

Soon, Xu Ping’an appeared at the location of the ancient bronze Demon Palace.

There were many people near the ancient bronze temple, at least three to four hundred.

The ones in the innermost part were essentially all Ninth Rank Experts.

These Ninth Rank Experts surrounded the innermost area, floating in the void, staring intently at the ancient bronze temple.

The arrival of Xu Ping’an and others did not attract anyone’s attention.

Their attention was all on the bronze Demon Palace at this moment.

Xu Ping’an took a look, there were many Ninth Rank Experts, at least seventy-something of them, including old men, middle-aged individuals, and younger generations.

However, Xu Ping’an did not see who among them was a Tenth Rank Expert.

Clearly, these Tenth Rank Experts were very well hidden.

Aside from the Ninth Rank Experts, the rest were mostly Eighth Rank, and there were fewer Seventh Rank Cultivators.

As for those below the Seventh Rank, they did not even have the qualifications to get close.

At this moment, the halo on the ancient bronze temple was disappearing.

That was a powerful energy enveloping the ancient bronze temple.

Once the energy completely vanished, the great doors of the ancient bronze temple would open.

Then, everyone would be able to enter.

Xu Ping’an took a deep breath, once the bronze Demon Palace opened, he would face the most intense scene.

There would probably be a fierce battle at that time.

"All those below the Ninth Rank, retreat ten miles away and do not approach, or they will be killed without mercy,"

Just at this moment, a thunderous shout suddenly came from the front.

The roar spread throughout the Sixth Layer, carrying with it an undeniable air of authority.

"Ninth Rank Peak?" Xu Ping’an frowned and looked towards the black-clothed man at the forefront.

The man who had just spoken was indeed him.

"He’s an elder from Tianlong Hall, named Lv Xuanzong, extremely domineering. It’s said his strength is formidable," Yu Xianlan appeared beside Xu Ping’an.

At this moment, she still seemed calm and collected, while Gongsun You in the distance looked wretched, having been seriously injured.

Yu Xianlan hadn’t killed him, but she had made him suffer a great deal.

"Hmm," Xu Ping’an nodded.

He had no fondness for Tianlong Hall.

The people from the Defying Heaven Alliance who had pursued him before included some from Tianlong Hall.

Now this Lv Xuanzong was actually demanding all those below the Ninth Rank to retreat, which showed his extreme dominance.

"Elder Lv, asking those below the Ninth Rank to retreat is a bit too much, isn’t it? Everyone is entering the ancient palace in search of opportunities. And this ancient bronze temple is considered the greatest opportunity in the lower six layers. By asking them to retreat, aren’t you cutting off the younger generation’s chance?" The speaker was a golden-haired man wearing Immortal Armor, overflowing with Immortal Qi.

"That’s General Jin Peng from Jade Immortal Temple, he’s a Demon Beast, his original form is a Golden Feather Heavenly Peng, an offspring of the Golden Winged Great Peng. His Cultivation has also reached the Ninth Rank Peak," Yu Xianlan said.

Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised, looking at the golden-haired man who had now taken human form. An offspring of the Golden Winged Great Peng?

No wonder this golden-haired man emanated such a powerful aura.

It seemed that Jin Peng had also taken a Shape Shifting Pill.

A Ninth Rank Peak Demon Beast’s strength was indeed quite terrifying.

Sure enough, once Jin Peng spoke, Lv Xuanzong’s momentum also weakened a bit.

"General Jin, this bronze Demon Palace is fraught with danger. I was merely worried that they would die within. Since General Jin has spoken in such a manner, let’s be more lenient. How about this—those below the Eighth Rank are not allowed to approach?" Lv Xuanzong spoke.

"I disagree. Life and death are predetermined, and it all depends on their own luck. If they die within, it is their fate," another old man in a white robe, stroking his white beard, said.

Xu Ping’an glanced at him, recognizing the man’s identity.

This person should be an elder of the Imperial Academy, because on him,

Xu Ping’an could feel an aura of righteousness associated with the academy.
