Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Xu Ping'an paid no mind to the crowd and went straight back to his residence.

As for Wang Tianyu, he would slaughter him sooner or later, and that day would not be too far off.

After greeting his little aunt, Xu Ping'an directly entered closed-door cultivation.

This time he intended to break through to the Ninth Layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, and then proceed to the Sword Transformation Pool to break through the legendary Extreme Realm.

The Third Layer of the Extreme Realm was something he had never breached even in his previous life, so even Xu Ping'an himself was filled with anticipation.

Entering his room, Xu Ping'an immediately sat down cross-legged, popped the acquired Qi-Blood Elixirs into his mouth, and began to circulate the Chaotic Reversal Scripture.

The Chaotic Reversal Scripture absorbed the elixirs at a fast rate, almost managing to assimilate over ninety percent of their efficacy.

As for one hundred percent, that was nearly impossible.

Even for a genius, absorbing over fifty percent of an elixir was remarkable.

So Xu Ping'an being able to absorb ninety percent was definitely considered defying the heavens.

Over the next day and night, Xu Ping'an continuously popped pills and cultivated.

Thirty Qi-Blood Elixirs were completely absorbed by him, and his cultivation had already broken through to the peak of the Eighth Layer Realm.

"Thirty First Rank high-grade Qi-Blood Elixirs have only helped me break through one layer. For others, that would be enough to break through three or four layers," Xu Ping'an said, somewhat speechless.

Although the Chaotic Reversal Scripture was powerful, it also consumed a vast amount of resources.

His cultivation resources were at least ten times that of others.

"Enough of that. I still have one Second Rank lower-grade Qingyuan Pill. That should be enough to help me break through to the Ninth Layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, after all, it's an elixir meant for splitting the sea," Xu Ping'an murmured to himself.

He then swallowed the Qingyuan Pill and continued to absorb its power.

Once the Qingyuan Pill entered his body, a massive surge of energy exploded within him.

Xu Ping'an's Chaotic Reversal Scripture operated wildly, like a whale swallowing and a dragon sucking, frantically refining this energy.

…

Meanwhile, as Xu Ping'an was refining these elixirs,

Wang Tianyu had already arrived at Zhou Mengyue's residence.

"Mengyue, have you broken through to the Second Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm?" Wang Tianyu asked in disbelief.

It hadn't been long since Zhou Mengyue progressed from the First to the Second Layer Realm.

Normally, such a breakthrough would take at least three months to half a year for an ordinary person to achieve.

Even he had taken nearly four months to accomplish it.

"My innate Mysterious Yin Bloodline has awakened, accumulating a significant amount of Mysterious Yin Force, which is why I broke through so quickly. If I completely refine this part of the Mysterious Yin Force, my strength should reach the Fourth or even the Fifth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm," Zhou Mengyue said.

"Is the innate Mysterious Yin Body that powerful?" Wang Tianyu was somewhat surprised.

Although he expected Zhou Mengyue to improve rapidly, he did not anticipate such a swift ascent.

"Don't worry, Tianyu brother. Even if I become stronger, I am still yours. Once I've fully refined the Mysterious Yin Force, ask my father for my hand in marriage, and when we wed, my virginity will be yours," Zhou Mengyue said seductively.

Wang Tianyu was overjoyed in an instant.

Zhou Mengyue's virginity was comparable to a Third or even Fourth Grade Spirit Pill.

The stronger Zhou Mengyue became, the more effective her virginity would be.

If it became his, his strength would surge tremendously, and he might even become an elite disciple.

"By the way, Tianyu brother, have you killed Xu Ping'an?" Zhou Mengyue inquired.

"That guy is a bit difficult to deal with. He actually killed Li Qing, who was at the Ninth Layer of the Qi-Blood Realm while only at the Seventh Layer himself, and this time he even got a batch of elixirs," Wang Tianyu couldn't help but say angrily.

The thought alone filled him with rage.

"A Seventh Layer killing a Ninth Layer? It seems we truly underestimated him. But ultimately, being in the Qi-Blood Realm and not entering the Sea-Splitting Realm still makes him an ant," Zhou Mengyue said, a hint of surprise crossing her eyes, but soon she spoke with disdain.

Now that she was about to refine the Mysterious Yin Force within her, she would be able to reach the Fifth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm.

Xu Ping'an, no matter how strong, was still nothing but an ant in her eyes.

"Indeed, but this kid is likely to enter the Sword Transformation Pool next. With the energy of the Sword Transformation Pool, he might have already broken through to the Sea-Splitting Realm. It'll be troublesome then," Wang Tianyu said, frowning.

"Then we kill him. He wants to enter the Sword Transformation Pool, doesn't he? Then let him die there," Zhou Mengyue said with a cold laugh.

"But the Sword Transformation Pool is a sacred place of the Beichen Sword Sect, inaccessible without a token from the sect elders," Wang Tianyu said with a frown.

"That's easy. Don't you know the young master? With his status, it shouldn't be difficult to get a Sea-Splitting Realm disciple in, right?" Zhou Mengyue said with a light laugh.

"Right, the young master has a good relationship with Elder Qin of the Inner Sect. As long as we get Elder Qin to show the token, we should be able to sneak someone in," Wang Tianyu said, his eyes lighting up.

"Have you thought about who will go in? Even with the token, someone will have to take responsibility for Xu Ping'an's death," Zhou Mengyue said with a seductive smile.

"Li Tianyuan, Li Qing's brother. Furious at hearing of Li Qing's murder and bent on revenge, with his First Layer strength of the Sea-Splitting Realm, killing Xu Ping'an will be a piece of cake," Wang Tianyu said with a sinister look in his eyes, immediately going to find the young master to plan the matter.

Zhou Mengyue looked at the mysterious moon outside the window, her eyes cold,"Xu Ping'an, I, Zhou Mengyue, am destined to become a powerhouse, and you are nothing but a stepping stone that should die!"

Then her gaze turned indifferent as she looked at the departing Wang Tianyu.

Want my primal red essence?

You, Wang Tianyu, are not worthy!

...

"Qi and Blood Realm Ninth Layer peak?"

In his room, Xu Ping'an felt the qi-blood in his body surge like thunder, and a glint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Refining a Second Grade Qingyuan Pill had directly brought his qi-blood to the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm.

"Bang bang!"

Xu Ping'an tried throwing a punch.

One punch yielded two explosive sounds.

External Strength and Dark Force erupted simultaneously, the power incredibly astonishing.

"Now my strength should be comparable to that of someone at the First Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm. If I unleash the power of the Thunder Sword Bone, even someone at the First Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm could be instantly killed," Xu Ping'an's eyes sparkled with sharpness.

He still had limited mastery over the power of the Thunder Sword Bone, only capable of utilizing a fraction of it.

But even this fraction was terribly formidable.

The reason he instantly killed Li Qing before was that he had tapped into a trace of this power, which was extremely potent.

After quickly getting ready, Xu Ping'an stepped out of his room.

"Auntie, what's wrong?" Xu Ping'an asked, puzzled as he saw Su Chan sitting in the courtyard in a daze.

"Nothing...I just miss the Xu residence," his aunt replied sheepishly.

"Miss the Xu residence? Once I'm done with things here, I'll take you back to visit," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

"Alright, Ping'an... I want to ask you something..." His aunt nodded, then hesitated.

"What is it?" Xu Ping'an asked, perplexed.

"If... I mean if, I left... to do my own thing, would you be angry?" his aunt pondered and asked.

"Silly auntie, of course I wouldn't be angry. Whatever you want to do, I will support you. Are you planning to leave?" Xu Ping'an said with a smile as he playfully swiped at Su Chan's nose.

Su Chan blushed at his words, hastily saying, "No, it was just a thought."

"That's good. Without my auntie around, I'll miss her. Alright, auntie, I'm going to get ready to enter the Sword Transformation Pool to make my breakthrough. Wait for me to return," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

"Okay!" Su Chan nodded earnestly, obedient like a child.

Xu Ping'an smiled slightly and then left the courtyard.

But as soon as Xu Ping'an was gone, Su Chan's expression turned somber. Facing the empty house behind her, she said coldly, "One month, I'll leave after one more month. If you push me further, I'd rather die!"

Behind her, the void remained silent, with no one responding!
