Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 375: The Silly Duo

When the fourth Fire Essence was in hand, Xu Ping’an could hardly believe it.

"Is it really so easy to obtain Fire Essence? In just a short while, four Fire Essences? It seems the chances of obtaining Fire Essence is quite significant," Xu Ping’an mused aloud.

The two in the distance who heard Xu Ping’an’s words suddenly looked at each other speechlessly.

Lucky my ass, it’s just your own good fortune that you happened to encounter the Fire Essence outburst.

We waited for three hundred, and not a single Fire Essence appeared.

Who do we even complain to about this?

"It must be the eruption phase of the Fire Essences, the odds of acquiring Fire Essence now are quite good. Are we just going to stand here and watch?" the Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Realm Cultivator from the Ghostly Nether Sect asked aloud.

"Why don’t we give it a try? Maybe we could also make a great haul," suggested the Cultivator of the Ghostly Nether Sect who was at the Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Realm.

"But, the power of these Fire Essences is immense. I’m afraid we might not be able to handle it," the same Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Realm Cultivator said with some concern.

"Nonsense, didn’t you see that Sixth Rank Cultivator catch it with his bare hands? This means that the power of these erupting Fire Essences isn’t that strong," quickly retorted the Cultivator at the Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Realm.

The other nodded in agreement, then firmly nodded again.

Yes, if a Sixth Rank Cultivator can easily obtain it, there’s no reason why we, as Seventh Ranks, cannot.

With that thought in mind, the two swept out into the action.

Xu Ping’an saw the two appear and immediately revealed a smile.

It looks like these two can’t sit still after seeing me obtain the treasure.

"Are the two brothers here to pick up Fire Essence as well? The brothers are right; Fire Essence is indeed easy to acquire, and the power isn’t great, you can just lightly catch it," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

As he spoke, another Fire Essence flew out.

Xu Ping’an reached out with one hand and directly caught the Fire Essence in his hand.

The entire process was effortless and caused no harm whatsoever.

Seeing this, the two Seventh Rank Cultivators looked surprised.

It seems that the force with which the Fire Essence burst forth has decreased a lot; it must be from a Fire Essence Mine that was struck in this direction.

"It seems the power of the Fire Essence has indeed weakened a lot, he doesn’t even seem to be using full strength," said the Cultivator at the Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Realm from the Ghostly Nether Sect.

"Right, if it poses no threat to him, it will be even easier for us," laughed the Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Realm Cultivator.

Both were somewhat excited.

A Fire Essence Mine, ah, they might get a pile of Fire Essences this time.

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, a streak of fire shot out.

The two Cultivators from the Ghostly Nether Sect were startled.

"It’s a Fire Essence, I’ll take it," the Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Realm Cultivator immediately dashed out, reaching for the Fire Essence.

Xu Ping’an saw this scene and did not attempt to fight for it but instead let out a light chuckle.

The Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Realm Cultivator from the Ghostly Nether Sect was overjoyed, his eyes brimming with extreme excitement as he watched the Fire Essence about to be grasped by his hand.

"Bang!"

However, the very next moment, the facial expression of the Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Realm Cultivator changed drastically.

As soon as his arm touched the Fire Essence, it encountered a tremendous surge of energy from the Fire Essence.

The next instant, his arm couldn’t withstand that great force and exploded, turning into a mist of blood.

The Fire Essence then struck the ground and shattered on impact.

"No... " the Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Realm Cultivator from the Ghostly Nether Sect cried out in unbearable agony.

He had not anticipated the energy in the Fire Essence to be so incredibly terrifying.

His companion was stunned.

"What’s going on?" inquired the Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Realm Cultivator, completely baffled.

"Damn it, the power within the Fire Essence is too terrifying; my arm simply couldn’t endure it," cursed the Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Realm Cultivator.

At this moment, he was in immense pain.

For a Seventh Rank Cultivator, losing an arm was a very serious injury.

Without being at the Ninth Rank, regrowing an arm relied solely on heavenly and earthly treasures.

But such regenerative treasures were also extremely rare and valuable for them.

"How is this possible? Just now, that Sixth Rank Cultivator seemed to catch it easily. Maybe the one you just tried to catch happened to be more powerful?" the Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Realm Cultivator said, puzzled.

The Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Cultivator looked frustrated and was at a loss for words.

Only Xu Ping’an at the side kept chuckling.

He was able to catch the Fire Essence with his bare hands not because the eruptive power had decreased, but because his own Physical Body was incredibly strong.

Besides, as he continually absorbed the energy from the Fire Essence, his own Physical Body strength was constantly increasing.

```

"Crack!"

A Fire Essence was directly and completely absorbed by Xu Ping’an, instantly turning into ordinary crushed Crystal Stones.

"The energy of a single Fire Essence almost allows my heart to complete one percent of its evolution," Xu Ping’an murmured to himself.

Although it was only one percent, for Xu Ping’an, this was already quite fast.

At this rate, he only needed to absorb ninety-nine more Fire Essences for his heart to fully evolve, and then his Physical Body’s strength would ascend to a new level.

Thinking this, Xu Ping’an took out the second Fire Essence to absorb.

As for these two before him, Xu Ping’an was merely toying with them.

"Swoosh!"

Another Fire Essence flew out.

The Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Realm Cultivator immediately darted out, this time with a measure of caution, covering himself with a powerful True Yuan in front, attempting to catch the Fire Essence with the strength of his True Elemental Power.

But he still underestimated the power of the Fire Essence.

His True Yuan defense exploded the instant the Fire Essence made contact.

And the Fire Essence hit him squarely in the chest.

"Pfft!"

Blood spurted wildly.

That Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Realm cultist from the Ghostly Nether Sect was slammed into the ground like a meteorite.

"Pfft!"

Blood sprayed again as the Seventh Layer Realm Cultivator had twelve of his ribs broken, and his internal organs were also severely damaged.

Such an impact nearly cost him half his life.

"No... How could this be?" The Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Realm Cultivator’s face was filled with frustration.

The power of the Fire Essence hadn’t diminished, had it?

Why was that Sixth Rank Cultivator handling it so effortlessly?

Just then, another Fire Essence flew out.

Xu Ping’an stepped forward and instantly arrived in front of the Fire Essence, grabbing it with one hand.

Easily and securely.

Both Ghostly Nether Sect Cultivators were dumbfounded, their faces questioning their existence.

Impossible...

How could this be?

"You... how can you catch this Fire Essence so easily?" The Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Realm Cultivator asked, his face filled with frustration.

Xu Ping’an feigned innocence and replied cheekily, "Eh? The power of this Fire Essence isn’t that great, it’s easy enough to catch. It just makes my hand feel a bit numb, that’s all. I thought the two big brothers were just putting on a performance?"

Perform your ass.

Both of them had a nearly overwhelming urge to vomit blood.

Who the hell plays around by blowing up their own arm?

Who in their right mind plays at vomiting blood wildly, nearly losing half their life?

At this moment, they both had the urge to strangle Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an, upon seeing their expressions, couldn’t help but laugh softly and continued, "Don’t worry, big brothers, maybe it was just those two Fire Essences that were powerful. The rest should be fine. You guys probably just had a bit of bad luck."

"Really?" The two of them exchanged glances, somewhat skeptical yet somewhat believing.

Just a bit of bad luck?

Maybe it actually was possible.

"Swoosh!"

Just then, a Fire Essence flew their way.

The two of them instantly focused, choosing to act together.

Joining forces, their True Yuan burst forth in a desperate attempt to counter the Fire Essence’s impact.

However, the power of the Fire Essence was still as terrifying as ever.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

Again, both were smashed into the ground, grievously injured.

Seeing this scene, Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but be caught between laughter and tears.

These two idiots... they were all too naive.

They actually believed it.
