Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 376: Big Brother Xu, I Don’t Want to Play Anymore

"Damn it, we’ve been deceived; this guy’s strength definitely exceeds the Sixth Rank."

Lying on the ground, the two men who had crawled out of the ruins spoke with faces full of anger.

Even fools like them knew by now that they had been tricked.

It was not a matter of bad luck at all, but rather that this fellow before them was too strong.

By this point, they were certain that not only was this person’s strength superior to theirs, but it was also significantly greater, which is why he could catch those Fire Essences so effortlessly.

"He probably saw through our intentions long ago and was just toying with us," a Seventh Layer Seventh Rank Cultivator from the Ghostly Nether Sect said grimly.

Hearing this, a surge of intense anger also welled up on the face of the Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Cultivator.

They had never imagined that a Sixth Rank could be stronger than them.

"So what do we do now? Gang up and kill him?" the Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Cultivator said angrily.

However, the Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Cultivator looked at him as if he were looking at an idiot: "Are you sure it’s us killing him, and not him killing us?"

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Cultivator immediately stiffened.

Indeed.

This young man could catch the Fire Essence with ease.

Wouldn’t it be easy for him to kill them?

Catch the Fire Essence barehanded? What kind of strength is that?

Thinking of this, the Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Cultivator instantly felt a chill at the thought.

Fuck, just now, it was as if he had taken a stroll through the gates of hell.

"Let’s just be careful. He didn’t strike at us, probably because we didn’t make a move on him. As long as we keep a low profile and are polite to him, he most likely won’t kill us," the Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Cultivator immediately said.

And his junior brother nodded repeatedly in agreement.

What they needed to consider now was no longer whether they could obtain treasures, but rather whether they could survive.

"Are you two alright?"

Xu Ping’an, smiling, stepped on air and came over, looking at the two sorry figures and asking with a smile.

Both men stiffened immediately, looking at Xu Ping’an with faces full of reverence.

The Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Cultivator tried hard to squeeze out a smile, "No, no problem. Brother, you’re truly formidable. Even united, the two of us couldn’t catch these Fire Essences, yet you did it barehanded, that’s really amazing."

"Right, may I have the honor of knowing brother’s grand name?" the Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Cultivator asked.

"Xu Ping’an, and you two?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.

It seemed that these two were so courteous because they now knew of his strength.

"I am Zhu Beihai, and this is my junior brother Cheng Feng; we are both elders of the Ghostly Nether Sect," said the Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Cultivator right away.

The Seventh Rank Sixth Layer Cultivator next to him nodded his head repeatedly and forced a smile.

"So it’s Brother Zhu, Brother Cheng?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, you are the elder brother, Brother Xu. We’re both your juniors," Cheng Feng said excitedly.

"Exactly, exactly, although we’re more than a decade older than you, your strength is greater than ours, so you are rightly the elder brother," Zhu Beihai followed up.

Xu Ping’an, seeing their expressions, couldn’t help but feel a mix of laughter and tears.

Were they really so afraid that he would kill them?

But to tell the truth, he really had contemplated killing them not long ago.

Now, the two of them kept calling him ’big brother’, making him feel almost too embarrassed to act against them.

"Neither of you are Fire Attribute Cultivators, right? These Fire Essences should be of no use to us, I presume?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Right, I almost forgot; these Fire Essences are useless to us. Both of these Fire Essences, I’ll give them to you, big brother," Zhu Beihai said with a visible wince.

Meanwhile, Cheng Feng, although cursing inside, still managed to squeeze a smile upon seeing Xu Ping’an looking at him.

Only it was a hollow smile that looked uglier than crying.

Xu Ping’an found this sight rather amusing.

These two guys really were the type to bully the weak and fear the strong. If his own strength had been insufficient, they probably wouldn’t have let him off so easily.

Xu Ping’an unceremoniously accepted the two Fire Essences.

Having absorbed these two Fire Essences, the crimson red energy already occupied two percent of his heart.

As long as he continued to absorb them, his heart could receive complete enhancement.

Then, his physical strength would surely rise to a new level.

With that in mind, Xu Ping’an wasted no more time talking to these people and instead looked towards the distant volcano.

"Has anyone been in that volcano?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"There are people inside, but those who went in never came back out. There was a Ninth Rank Expert who tried to enter, looking for a Fire Essence Vein, but unfortunately, he encountered a volcanic eruption and was directly devoured. The energy fluctuations of a Ninth Rank Expert are too strong and easily provoke the volcano’s energy, so for a Seventh or Eighth Rank Cultivator to enter is tantamount to seeking death," Cheng Feng responded.

Xu Ping’an fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

Zhu Beihai, who was standing to the side, turned his eyes and said, "But Brother Xu, with your formidable strength, you should be able to give it a try. You’re so lucky; you might find the Fire Essence Vein and make a fortune."

"Really? Didn’t your junior brother just say that basically no one comes out after going in?" Xu Ping’an asked in his heart.

Zhu Beihai hurriedly explained, "What my junior brother meant was for ordinary people. Brother Xu, you are blessed with good fortune, not like ordinary people, right, junior brother?"

"Exactly, exactly. Brother Xu, you are the most powerful and youngest Cultivator I have ever seen. There’s naturally no problem for you to enter the volcano," Cheng Feng quickly added his agreement.

At this moment, he understood his senior brother’s intention.

They wanted to trick Xu Ping’an into entering the volcano. Once he embarked on this deadly path, they could escape from calamity.

Xu Ping’an saw the smiles on their faces; how could he not understand their intentions?

He smiled immediately and said, "Since you both say so, I’ll take a look inside."

The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this. Cheng Feng even said, "Brother Xu, you will definitely find the Fire Essence Vein and obtain a huge fortune."

Zhu Beihai also nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing Xu Ping’an’s decision to enter the volcano, they could hardly contain their laughter inside.

This utterly ignorant guy actually wants to venture into the volcano seeking death.

Ha ha ha, does he really think he’s invincible?

However, their faces still showed a look of admiration.

"Alas, we share weal and woe together. Since there’s such a good opportunity, how could I leave my brothers out of it? You two might as well come into the volcano with me," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, the smiles on their faces instantly stiffened.

Enter the volcano together?

Fuck that.

I really don’t want to court death.

They cursed inwardly.

However, they still forced a stiff smile and said, "Brother Xu, I think it’s better not to. Our strength is insufficient. If we go in, we will certainly die, and we also don’t need Fire Essence. How could we compete with you for treasure?"

"Yes, yes, we will wait for Brother Xu outside," Cheng Feng hastily added.

But Xu Ping’an smiled and said, "Don’t be so polite, gentlemen. Since we are brought together by fate, we should share our blessings. As for the danger? Don’t worry, I will protect the two of you."

With that, Xu Ping’an threw a punch.

A terrifying force erupted, and the void was directly burst open.

Seeing this scene, both of them were dumbfounded.

So strong!

That’s fucking terrifying.

Is this really the strength of a Sixth Rank Peak Cultivator?

Maybe not even a Seventh Rank Peak could compare.

No wonder he could catch those Fire Essences barehanded.

At that moment, they had fully witnessed Xu Ping’an’s strength.

Of course, as they witnessed it, the corners of their mouths twitched incessantly.

Xu Ping’an was intimidating them.

If they continued to reject him now, they would probably be blown up by one of his punches.

They had seen that punch just now; even the void was fractured. How could they endure it?

But going in was also a death sentence.

They were on the verge of tears.

They wished they could slap themselves twice. Why did they suggest Xu Ping’an go into the volcano?

"Let’s go. Let’s take a look inside. I’ve never seen the interior of a volcano. Don’t you want to see it?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Damn it.

I really don’t.

Both of them cursed inwardly simultaneously, but still managed to squeeze out a smile on their faces.

Those smiles were uglier than crying.

Xu Ping’an, however, paid them no heed and dragged them along toward the volcano.
