Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Zhou Mengyue's eyes were gloomy, with a hidden killing intent.

The elder with the surname Zhao seemed to have noticed something.

However, he didn't concern himself with other people's business and continued to assess the other disciples.

As for Xu Ping'an, like Zhou Mengyue, there was no need for any further assessment.

"Xu Ping'an, what's with your bloodline? Have you already received the Xu Family's heritage?"

Zhou Mengyue hesitated for a moment before she came over and asked.

"What's it to you?" Xu Ping'an replied coldly.

He had seen the killing intent in Zhou Mengyue's eyes just moments ago, clear as day.

If he were certain that he could kill Zhou Mengyue right now, he wouldn't have given her a chance to speak at all.

The gap between the Qi and Blood Realm and the Sea-Splitting Realm was still significant, and Zhou Mengyue, possessing the Innate Mysterious Yin Body, was obviously stronger than an ordinary cultivator at the First Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm.

"Xu Ping'an, you're seeking death. Don't think that just because you possess the Chaotic Thunder Tyrant Body, you have the right to challenge me. You haven't even reached the Sea-Splitting Realm. Killing you would be as easy as flipping my hand. In my eyes, you're still an ant," Zhou Mengyue said furiously.

"You can try it!" Xu Ping'an was utterly indifferent.

He had already grown tired of talking to Zhou Mengyue.

There was no way Zhou Mengyue would make a move on him with the elder Zhao still watching over them.

If Zhou Mengyue really attacked, she would be sure to be punished by Elder Zhao.

Wang Tianyu was a case in point.

Zhou Mengyue gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and the Qi Sea within her churned as her True Yuan vibrated.

Xu Ping'an felt Zhou Mengyue's aura and frowned slightly.

This Zhou Mengyue had refined his Innate Mysterious Veins and, with her own Innate Charming Body, was indeed not to be underestimated. Her strength was bound to surge shortly, and killing her would not be an easy task.

Although Xu Ping'an had recovered his memories from his previous life, those memories only added to his experience; his actual strength hadn't increased much.

"It seems I need to break through to the Ninth Layer of the Qi and Blood Realm soon and then enter the Sword Transformation Pool," Xu Ping'an muttered to himself.

Then he paid no more attention to Zhou Mengyue.

Seeing this, Zhou Mengyue's murderous intent grew even stronger.

In the past, Xu Ping'an would only fawn before her. How dared he speak to her with such an attitude?

"Don't worry, once he enters the outer sect, he is as good as dead. Although I can't make a move myself, there are several tough individuals in the outer sect who are well-acquainted with me. When the time comes, I will have them break his spine again and see if he can recover," Wang Tianyu came over and said to Zhou Mengyue.

His gaze, however, was fixed on Xu Ping'an, filled with a bloodthirsty madness.

How dare Xu Ping'an provoke him publicly? If he didn't kill Xu Ping'an, how would he quell the hatred in his heart?

"Good, he probably wants to break through to the Sea-Splitting Realm using the Sword Transformation Pool. We must not let him set foot in it," Zhou Mengyue's eyes flashed coldly.

"Stepping into the Sea-Splitting Realm? He's delusional. Within three days, he'll be dead," Wang Tianyu snorted coldly, with disdain in his eyes.

...

Xu Ping'an sensed the malicious gazes of the two and frowned slightly.

He knew they would definitely make a move against him, and he wasn't afraid; but if his aunt got hurt, he would regret it for a lifetime.

"It seems I need to break through as soon as possible and take out this adulterous couple," Xu Ping'an thought anxiously.

The assessment did not last too long, and once it was completed, the elder had someone take Xu Ping'an to his residence in the outer sect.

"The sect leader is trying to temper his will, letting a Chaos Body enter the outer sect. It's just unclear whether it's a good or bad thing," Elder Zhao watched Xu Ping'an's departing back and murmured to himself.

A Chaos Body, wherever it went, would be treasured. If the outside world knew that the Beichen Sword Sect had given him the status of an outer sect disciple, they would definitely try to win him over at any cost.

"No, I must keep an eye on things," the elder surnamed Zhao finally nodded, took a step forward, and transformed into an afterimage that disappeared from the spot.

Xu Ping'an soon arrived at his residence, led by an outer sect disciple.

The residence was relatively secluded, a private house with its own courtyard. It wasn't big, but it was clean and refreshing.

Su Chan very much liked it, happily looking around everywhere in the courtyard.

Seeing Su Chan happy, Xu Ping'an felt joy in his heart as well.

After sending the outer sect disciple away, Xu Ping'an approached and said, "Auntie, it looks like you really like this place?"

"Yes, I quite like it. The winding paths lead to a tranquil spot, it's clean and quiet. The key part is that I can stay with you," the auntie said with a smile.

"Auntie likes staying with me?" Xu Ping'an teased with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Su Chan immediately blushed with shyness, then quickly changed the subject, "Ping'an, both Zhou Mengyue and Wang Tianyu looked at you with very fierce eyes. I'm afraid they'll harm you."

"I know. Now that I have appeared before them showing off strong capabilities and revealing my talent, naturally, they won't let me off easily, and of course, I won't let them go either," Xu Ping'an's eyes flashed sharply as he spoke.

"I've heard that they have already reached the Sea-Splitting Realm. You must be very careful," Su Chan said anxiously.

Although she was unable to cultivate, she knew the huge gap in strength between the Qi and Blood Realm and the Sea-Splitting Realm.

To be precise, as one advances in their cultivation, the gap in strength between each realm becomes increasingly significant.

"Auntie, don't worry. If they dare to come, I'll make sure they can't return. Moreover, I'll soon step into the Sea-Splitting Realm myself," Xu Ping'an assured her with a smile.

Seeing Xu Ping'an say so, Su Chan gave a few words of admonition, then said no more.

Although Xu Ping'an spoke confidently, his heart still felt somewhat heavy.

"It seems I need to practice a set of Combat Techniques. Currently, my strength has reached the Seventh Layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, and without having learned any Combat Techniques, I can't unleash my true power. If I want to improve my strength, I need to practice these Combat Techniques. I don't remember many of the lower-level ones, but I do recall a few, and among them, there is indeed a set that suits me now," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

Thunder Third Layer Sword!

This was a Basic Sword Technique that emphasized three levels of force. With each level, the power doubled.

Xu Ping'an did not hesitate and immediately took out an iron sword, starting to chop and slash around the courtyard.

Although he retained the experience from his past life, his body had not yet mastered this way of channeling force, so even with the Combat Techniques, he had to learn them again from scratch.

However, due to his experience, Xu Ping'an's speed in practicing the Combat Techniques was tens if not hundreds of times faster than that of ordinary people.

By the end of the night, Xu Ping'an had already fully grasped the First Layer of force.

If it were someone else, it would have taken at least three to four months.

"The First Layer of Thunder Third Layer Sword can be considered a great accomplishment. It can unleash First Layer Dark Energy, which isn't too bad. My strength has also increased a little, but there's still some gap before breaking through to the Eighth Layer of the Qi and Blood Realm. I need to think of a way," Xu Ping'an murmured to himself.

"Xu Ping'an, come out here!"

Just then, a loud shout came from outside the courtyard gate.

Xu Ping'an's eyebrows furrowed.

The auntie was also startled and came out of the house, looking at Xu Ping'an with confusion.

Xu Ping'an shook his head slightly and advised, "Auntie, you go inside first. I'll go to open the door."

"Then be careful," Su Chan said with some hesitation, but she still went into the room.

After seeing that the auntie had gone in, Xu Ping'an went over to open the courtyard door.

As he opened the door, Xu Ping'an saw three young men dressed in the attire of the outer court standing outside.

Two of them were at the Eighth Layer of the Qi-Blood Realm, and one was at the Ninth Layer of the Breath Realm.

All three had a fierce and malevolent appearance, obviously coming to cause trouble.
