Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 373 Brother, You Have a Kind Face

Xu Ping’an parted ways with Yu Xin and then headed toward Area Four.

Soon he arrived at the barrier of Area Four. The spatial barrier here wasn’t very strong, and basically any Seventh Rank Cultivator could break through it.

So quickly, Xu Ping’an passed directly through the barrier and entered Area Four.

Upon entering Area Four, Xu Ping’an immediately felt a scorching sensation.

The entire area seemed incredibly hot, and his skin had the sensation of being scorched.

And in the center of this region was a massive volcano.

This volcano was over five thousand zhang tall and was an active volcano.

If the volcano erupted, the entire area would be affected.

"This place really is a paradise for cultivators with fire attributes." Xu Ping’an sensed the rich Fire Attribute spiritual qi filling the air. Cultivating here would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort.

However, Xu Ping’an was not a Fire Attribute Cultivator. He had come here only to see if there was energy similar to the Earth Attribute Energy found in Area Five.

If there was, his Tyrant Heavenly Dragon Elephant Technique should be able to absorb it.

At that time, what would be strengthened would be his heart.

Once his heart was strengthened, Xu Ping’an’s strength and vitality would both receive great enhancement.

That would make killing him even more difficult, which was exactly what Xu Ping’an needed.

Thinking this, Xu Ping’an tried to run the Tyrant Heavenly Dragon Elephant Technique for a bit.

A tiny thread of fiery red energy from the surrounding Fire Attribute True Elemental permeated into his body and entered his heart.

"Indeed there is, but the energy spread through the air is too sparse to lead to any enhancement," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

But Xu Ping’an was not disheartened; on the contrary, he was filled with expectation.

If the air here was teeming with such energy, then there must be other places with a wealth of it.

Perhaps that gigantic volcano up ahead was the source of this energy.

"Let’s check out the volcano." Xu Ping’an thought for a moment, then streaked towards the direction of the volcano.

...

Meanwhile, about a dozen or so li away from Xu Ping’an.

Seven or eight figures awkwardly broke through the barrier of Area Four and appeared within it.

They happened upon a dozen or so cultivators who were preparing to move toward Area Five.

"Did you come from Area Five? Why are you in such a sorry state?" a Cultivator from Area Four curiously asked.

"Damn, who knows which bastard triggered that earthling’s Killing Formation and released freaking more than two thousand Seventh Rank Peak earthlings. They killed for a full Hour in Area Five," a youthful Seventh Rank Eighth Layer Realm Cultivator said in distress.

He was a genius from the Burning Heaven Sect, a first-tier power of the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty, but now his face was flushed with anger.

The others also nodded in agreement, clearly enraged.

The dozen or so Cultivators from Area Four were all wide-eyed with shock.

More than two thousand Seventh Rank Peak earthlings, killing for an Hour?

What the hell, is Area Five this terrifying?

Before the dozen could recover from their shock, another person who had come from Area Five sighed, "Luckily, we escaped quickly. Otherwise, we would have perished in there too. Several of my fellow disciples have died. If you plan to go to Area Five, you’d better be cautious."

"Right, someone triggered the Formation, and those earthlings came out of the Stone Forest killing anyone they saw. Area Five, originally with more than a hundred people, was decimated to just one-fifth," another Cultivator from the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty followed up, his face showing a teeth-gritted fury.

If they knew who had triggered the Formation at this moment, they would have torn them into countless pieces, for they were filled with hatred.

These dozen or so cultivators were utterly stupefied.

Still considering going to Area Five?

To hell with that.

Five is such a dangerous place, it’s much safer to stay in Four, or go to Three if it really comes to it.

In any case, Five is definitely off limits.

"What about Four? Is it dangerous?" a disciple of the Burning Heaven Sect asked.

"This Fourth Region isn’t too dangerous. The only danger would be this volcano. As long as we keep our distance from the volcano, there’s not much to be afraid of," a disciple from the Fourth Region said.

"So, the volcano won’t erupt?" a Seventh Rank Cultivator from the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty asked.

"No, we’ve checked. According to the magma and ash, the volcano last erupted ten years ago, and it hasn’t accumulated enough energy to erupt again. It won’t be possible for it to erupt within the next ten years," the Cultivator from the Fourth Region replied.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

As long as the volcano doesn’t erupt, the danger is minimal.

"Do you think that bastard will also come to Fourth Region?" Suddenly, a Cultivator from the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty asked a suffocating question.

The others glanced at him, rolling their eyes in unison.

Feeling awkward, he added, "Probably not. That bastard must be dead by now, given that he was facing over two thousand Earthlings. He couldn’t have escaped."

Hearing this, everyone nodded and started moving toward the volcano.

At this moment, all they wanted was to search for treasures quietly, without risking their lives.

However, they didn’t know that the very ’bastard’ they were talking about was speeding towards the volcano.

"There seem to be quite a few people in the Fourth Region. Looks like many from Regions One, Two, and Three have entered here," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Along the way, he had encountered over a hundred people.

In all, there were over three hundred people in the Fourth Region.

Regions One, Two, and Three had already been explored by most, so many Cultivators had chosen to leave.

That’s why there were so many people in the Fourth Region.

And these people largely came from four powers.

Three from Heaven Beyond Heavens and one from the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty.

As for which three Heaven Beyond Heavens they came from, Xu Ping’an wasn’t sure, as they weren’t from the ones he saw previously.

As for the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty, Xu Ping’an could tell because many of them wore clothes similar to what Luo Henfeng, the Young Sect Master of the Ghostly Nether Sect whom he had killed, had worn, all marked with a skull.

Xu Ping’an’s arrival didn’t draw much attention, and even those who noticed didn’t care much.

"Hey, brother, are you planning to search for treasure in this volcano?" Just as Xu Ping’an was speeding along, someone called out to him.

Xu Ping’an was startled and looked towards the source of the voice, only to see two disciples clad in Ghostly Nether Sect attire smiling at him.

"Yes, do you two need something?" Xu Ping’an asked with a slight frown.

Their Cultivation wasn’t high, one at the Sixth Layer Realm of Seventh Rank, and the other at the Seventh Layer Realm.

To the current Xu Ping’an, such Cultivation was barely worthy of attention.

"No big deal, just thought you seem like a nice guy and wanted to give you a heads up. If you want to get your hands on Fire Essence Crystal Stones, you’ll have to get within five hundred meters of the volcano. There’s no more Fire Essence Crystal Stones left on the outer area," the Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Realm Cultivator said with a smile.

"Fire Essence Crystal Stones?" Xu Ping’an’s eyes brightened.

This could be precisely what he was looking for.

"Are these Fire Essence Crystal Stones ejected from the volcano?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.

"Exactly, brother. These Fire Essence Crystal Stones are treasures. Although they can’t enhance Fire Attribute Cultivation, they can boost one’s aptitude for Fire Attributes. Even if you’re not a Cultivator of Fire Attributes, selling one to a Fire Attribute Cultivator would fetch a hefty price. Earlier on, someone traded one for a Low Grade Immortal Artifact," the Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Realm Cultivator said with a chuckle.

Xu Ping’an was a bit surprised hearing this.

It seemed the Fire Essence Crystal Stones were indeed valuable.

However, the two fellows in front of him were too eager to offer this tip, obviously harboring ill-intentions.
