Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 751 - 750 Gongsun Yao’s Provocation

```

The mastery of Stack Hammering had also given Xu Ping’an increased confidence in the artifact refining contest.

Now that he had mastered Stack Hammering, his forging technique had improved substantially.

"It’s a pity that I can’t use Immortal Elemental to perform the Stack Hammering technique, otherwise my attack power could have seen a huge increase."

The sword move Purple Extreme Reincarnation he created before contained the power of Eighty-one Layers stacked together.

If he could form a stack of One hundred sixty-two Layers of power, then the might of his sword move would certainly be greatly enhanced.

But for now, his control over Immortal Elemental was not yet capable of completing two extreme stacks at once.

Therefore, it would still take some time before he could apply Stack Hammering to his sword moves.

"Well, let’s talk about sword moves later. It’s already a huge improvement to be able to break through in the forging technique," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

Then he stepped out of his residence and headed towards the refining square.

Today was the second round of the artifact refining contest.

When he arrived at the square, there were only a little over two thousand people left.

Compared to yesterday, it was scarcely one-tenth of the number.

The massive elimination made everyone realize the cruelty of this competition.

More than two thousand Immortal Instrument Masters, it seems there are quite a lot of them, and all these masters are young, with limitless achievements ahead.

Some forces have already sent out invitations to these Immortal Instrument Masters.

This is the purpose of some cultivators participating in this contest.

"Brother Qin, over here," Zhang Zhantian called out urgently as soon as Xu Ping’an arrived at the square.

Xu Ping’an smiled and walked over.

It seemed like Zhang Zhantian was no longer planning to hide.

In the first round, he had deliberately avoided Xu Ping’an to prevent him from discovering his identity.

Now, probably guessing that Xu Ping’an had already figured out his identity, he felt there was no need to hide anymore.

"Brother Zhang, you’re not planning to avoid me anymore?" Xu Ping’an joked with a smile.

"Don’t joke, Brother Qin. In fact, you had already guessed my identity yesterday, hadn’t you?" Zhang Zhantian said awkwardly.

"I only guessed a little," Xu Ping’an responded.

"Please keep it a secret for me, Brother Qin. I don’t want others to know yet, to avoid unnecessary trouble for my sect," Zhang Zhantian replied.

Xu Ping’an nodded, "Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone."

"Thank you, Brother Qin. Actually, I have always felt that you are extraordinary. After all, not many can discern my forging technique, not even the Elders of the Refining Alliance," Zhang Zhantian said with a smile.

Xu Ping’an smiled and said, "It was by chance that I saw this forging technique in an ancient book."

"So it is, Brother Qin is experienced and knowledgeable. I admire that," Zhang Zhantian said with a smile.

Xu Ping’an smiled nonchalantly.

Just then, a figure, purer and whiter than snow, approached.

Xu Ping’an frowned slightly.

Zhang Zhantian looked even more surprised.

Dongfang Qingxue?

Why had she come?

Zhang Zhantian couldn’t help but look at Xu Ping’an and sent a message, "Brother Qin, you said you didn’t know her, yet she seems to be sticking to you now!"

Xu Ping’an was also helpless.

This woman probably wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to observe his forging technique.

"Don’t mind her," Xu Ping’an replied.

Zhang Zhantian appeared somewhat resigned, How could you not be moved by such a great beauty?

Many surrounding people were watching this scene with amazement; many knew about Dongfang Qingxue actively seeking out Xu Ping’an yesterday.

Now that Dongfang Qingxue had once again taken the initiative to find Xu Ping’an, it was inevitable that envy would arise in the hearts of the onlookers.

Xu Ping’an could even clearly perceive several gazes filled with intense hostility directed his way.

```

And just when the crowd was filled with hostility towards Xu Ping’an, another stunning figure approached him.

This figure was even more eye-catching than Dongfang Qingxue.

"Hello, my name is Gongsun Yao." Gongsun Yao looked at Xu Ping’an with a charming smile on her face.

Her captivating face was irresistibly enchanting, making it hard for one not to be intoxicated by her presence.

Many men couldn’t help but feel elated, their eyes filled with a hint of fascination.

Although they all knew that Gongsun Yao was a poisonous rose, that didn’t stop them from admiring her beauty.

Of course, their gazes towards Xu Ping’an turned even angrier.

Dongfang Qingxue was already enough, but now even Gongsun Yao was taking the initiative to greet this guy—what on earth was his background that made two great beauties approach him at the same time?

"Qin Feng," Xu Ping’an replied indifferently.

He naturally knew the purpose of Gongsun Yao’s approach; clearly, she wanted to make him a target for all.

It seemed she had a close relationship with Dongfang Qingxue and wanted to take revenge on her behalf.

Considering only he could save her now, it was likely that there would come a day when she would be crying and begging him for help.

Xu Ping’an was also aware of Gongsun Yao’s personality.

This woman seemed quite spirited, having pulled off similar maneuvers for the sake of Yu Xianlan before.

Now she was repeating the same old tricks, unfortunately unaware that the target of her schemes was the same person.

"So it’s Young Master Qin Feng. I’ve heard that Young Master Qin is very adept at artifact refining. I’ve long admired you, and now that I’ve seen you, you truly are a person of remarkable bearing," Gongsun Yao said with an admiring smile.

Hearing this, the artifact refiners around Xu Ping’an looked at him with even more murderous intent in their eyes.

Among them were some superior grade artifact refiners.

At this moment, Xu Ping’an undoubtedly became the common enemy of these artifact refiners.

"Oh? Miss Gongsun Yao admires me so much, why don’t you come to my room tonight to talk further?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Gongsun Yao was taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter.

Clearly, she had not expected Xu Ping’an to say such a thing to her.

"Good, I would be overjoyed, but I’m afraid Young Master Qin might not dare—Young Master Qin may not know that my body harbors a toxic poison," Gongsun Yao said arrogantly, laughing.

The people around, upon hearing this, didn’t become angry but instead sneered.

This guy wants to touch Gongsun Yao?

Is he courting death?

If she were so easy to approach, how could it be his turn?

"A toxic poison is nothing to fear. A man would rather die beneath a peony flower and be a happy ghost. With a beauty like Miss Gongsun Yao, even death would be worth it," Xu Ping’an replied with a smile.

These words left Gongsun Yao stunned.

She had thought that Xu Ping’an would be frightened by her poison; she never expected him to behave as if he already knew about it.

Despite knowing, did he still have designs on her?

Could it be that he really wasn’t afraid of death?

Suddenly, Gongsun Yao didn’t know how to respond.

How could she possibly admire this Qin Feng? It was just a joke.

Dongfang Qingxue frowned slightly on the side, as her impression of Qin Feng clearly took a sharp downturn.

Zhang Zhantian looked at Xu Ping’an with an admiring gaze as if to say, "Brother, you’re awesome!"

"Miss Gongsun," Xu Ping’an said with a half-smile, "I will be awaiting the honor of your visit tonight at my residence. You’ll surely regret it if you don’t come."

Gongsun Yao did not reply but her face turned solemn.

She never expected him to turn the tables on her, putting her in a difficult position instead.

Xu Ping’an observed Gongsun Yao’s troubled expression, his face revealing a mocking smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since everyone is here, let’s begin the second round of the competition," he announced.

Just then, the grand elder of the Refining Alliance arrived, alleviating some of Gongsun Yao’s embarrassment.
