Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 791 - 790: The Strongest Trump Card

In Xia Cheng’s view, a simple palm strike from a Tenth Rank Third Layer Realm practitioner could easily crush someone to death.

However, he hadn’t expected that the Tenth Rank Third Layer Realm figure before him was far from ordinary.

Sure enough, the moment Xia Cheng’s attack was unleashed, Xu Ping’an had already vanished from his original spot.

"Young Sect Master, be careful." The elder, who hadn’t been paying much attention, suddenly sensed something amiss and hastened to act.

But Xu Ping’an was faster than he had anticipated.

He appeared instantaneously in front of Xia Cheng and threw a punch that was astonishingly powerful.

"What?"

Xia Cheng too was incredibly surprised.

Facing this punch, he actually felt a fear of death.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar echoed.

Xia Cheng was sent flying, but he didn’t meet his end.

Instead, he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, having sustained only minor injuries.

Over his body, a blood-colored Divine Armor emerged, radiating a bloody, ghostly glow.

"Low Grade Divine Armor?" Xu Ping’an said in surprise.

He hadn’t expected this guy to possess a Low Grade Divine Armor.

The majority of the force from his punch just now was blocked by the Low Grade Divine Armor.

So, he hadn’t been hurt too severely.

"Seeking death!"

At that moment, the elder appeared in front of Xu Ping’an.

With a palm strike, his power was enormously strong.

Xu Ping’an immediately deployed the Eight Wastelands Xuanwu Shield and summoned his Semi-Divine Artifact Battle Armor.

However, the Mysterious Nether Immortal Emperor’s power was simply too great; Xu Ping’an’s greatly accomplished Eight Wastelands Xuanwu Shield was almost useless against him.

"Bang!"

Xu Ping’an was instantly knocked away, crashing into a distant wall and creating a huge, deep pit.

"Xu Ping’an." Tang Xinyue called out anxiously.

Yao Feifei and the others covered their mouths with their hands, their eyes filled with concern.

"I... I’m okay."

Xu Ping’an climbed out from the deep pit, looking extremely disheveled and with fresh blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Fortunately, his physical body was strong; otherwise, that palm strike would have been enough to take his life.

The attack from a practitioner at the Eighth Layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm was not something to be underestimated.

"Such a strong attack; even without using his full strength, it’s not something I can withstand right now. The gap in strength is just too large," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

Even now, with a combat power nearing the limit of the Third Layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm, he was no match for this Eighth Layer Immortal Emperor Realm adversary.

The opponent, without even deploying the Power of Dao Principles and relying solely on his own Immortal Elemental power, was beyond Xu Ping’an’s ability to contend with.

"You’ve got some ability, to take my palm strike head-on. Even with a Semi-Divine Artifact Battle Armor, you managed to stand up. It seems you possess strength close to the Immortal Emperor Realm," the elder said coldly.

Surprise flashed in his eyes.

A Tenth Rank with the combat power of an Immortal Emperor Realm; it seemed this youngster had quite a few secrets.

"Elder Xuanming, kill him for me, I want to crush him into dust," Xia Cheng said, clenching his fist, his eyes filled with intense rage.

The elder smiled and turned to Xu Ping’an, "You’re quite durable. Your physical body seems to be perfect material for a Corpse Puppet. Tell me, how do you wish to die?"

"Are you so confident that you can kill me?" Xu Ping’an scoffed.

"You’re merely an early-stage Immortal Emperor Realm youngster. Do you think it’s difficult for me to kill you?" Elder Xuanming said with amusement, looking at Xu Ping’an as if he were a turtle caught in a jar.

"Xu Ping’an, you must have a way to escape. Run now, don’t worry about us," Tang Xinyue said hurriedly.

"Yes, you should run. If you can escape, then escape," Yao Feifei added.

The others nodded in agreement.

Xu Ping’an just chuckled.

He indeed had a way to escape. Now that his mission was completed, he could transport directly back to the great hall with a single thought.

But he couldn’t do that.

If he left, then Tang Xinyue and the others would have no doubt about their impending deaths.

"Enough, let’s have a go at it, and let me see just how strong the Remnant Soul Power inside the Demon Elephant Tower truly is," muttered Xu Ping’an to himself.

Then his gaze hardened, and looking at the elder before him, he sneered, "You say if I were to kill you today, wouldn’t my name become renowned throughout the entire Spirit Realm?"

"Courting death!" The elder scoffed, immediately filled with murderous intent.

Tang Xinyue and the rest also furrowed their brows in worry. What nonsense was Xu Ping’an talking about?

How could an Immortal Emperor of the Eighth Layer possibly be easily slain?

Xia Cheng also smirked, thinking Xu Ping’an was delusional.

"Boy, prepare to die."

The elder’s eyes instantly turned fierce, and then he stepped forward, his figure vanishing from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared right in front of Xu Ping’an, with another palm strike.

But this time, the power of the palm was dozens of times greater than before, containing extremely strong Power of Dao Principles.

"Xu Ping’an!" Tang Xinyue was immediately distressed, but it was already too late to do anything.

"Die!"

The elder sneered coldly, as if foreseeing Xu Ping’an being turned into dust under this palm.

However, the corners of Xu Ping’an’s mouth revealed a trace of cold laughter.

"Roar!"

Just as the elder’s palm was about to hit him, a terrifying elephant roar burst forth from his body, accompanied by an immensely terrifying force.

A colossal elephant deity phantom punched out.

The punch shocked the heavens and the earth, making ghosts and gods weep.

Carrying a surge of overwhelming force, it bore down on the Mysterious Nether Immortal Emperor.

"What?" The elder was greatly alarmed.

He immediately retracted his attack to defend.

But the distance was too short, and the force was simply too strong.

"Boom!"

The elder was instantly sent flying, his figure crashing into a distant mountainside.

The entire mountain burst in an instant, collapsing with a thunderous noise.

Everyone who witnessed the scene was shocked beyond measure.

This…

How is this possible?

Tang Xinyue, seeing the colossal elephant deity phantom emerge from Xu Ping’an’s body, had an expression of deep surprise on her face.

"The Elephant God Clan? He has actually received the legacy of the Elephant God Clan," Tang Xinyue murmured.

"What is the Elephant God Clan?" Yao Feifei asked, puzzled.

The others also had faces full of confusion.

"The Elephant God Clan is an ancient race from the Divine Realm; they are born with great strength and a masterful grasp of physical power, an extremely fearsome race, very strong. The secret technique Xu Ping’an used before to enhance his physical body seems to be from the Elephant God Clan, and the phantom behind him now should be the Remnant Soul Power of the Elephant God," explained Tang Xinyue.

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately remembered Xu Ping’an’s previous transformation into a towering figure.

Moreover, the patterns that appeared on his body were identical to the ones on the phantom of the elephant deity.

"Elephant God Remnant Soul, what is his current strength?" Yao Feifei asked in astonishment.

"It should be the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm," Tang Xinyue said.

"Peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm?" Yao Feifei was incredibly shocked.

The others were rendered speechless.

Could this really be Xu Ping’an’s true strength?

"Nevertheless, this Remnant Soul can probably only be used once; it must be his true trump card," Tang Xinyue added.

Hearing this, the crowd was filled with complex emotions.

Xu Ping’an had actually sacrificed such a trump card for their sake.
