Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 390: You Want to Kill Me?

"Tang Xinyue, what’s the point of talking about this? Just hand over the treasures and divine artifacts you have. Before entering the Heavenly Star Palace, your cultivation was at the Seventh Rank Peak, and now it has reached the Eighth Rank Third Layer, with combat power that is comparable to the Eighth Rank Peak. Are you still saying you didn’t obtain any treasures? Besides, the heavenly edicts appeared here earlier; I’m afraid that was your doing," said Huang Xinglong with a sneer.

As soon as these words were spoken, many people’s eyes lit up around them.

Entering the Heavenly Star Palace and advancing four layers in cultivation, and with combat power equivalent to the Eighth Rank Peak—this was surely an enormous opportunity.

They had all felt the pressure of the heavenly mandate before. Without a divine artifact-level treasure, how could such a significant upheaval occur, even prompting a heavenly edict to appear?

In a moment, everyone’s gaze toward Tang Xinyue was filled with boundless greed.

Although Tang Xinyue had the backing of two major powers—the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty and the Divine Seal Sect.

The powers present were not to be underestimated.

If they could really obtain a massive fortune, such a risk was worth taking.

"Saint Heir Huang is right, treasures are for those with destiny. We of the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty cultivate the fire attribute, and since the treasures here come from within this volcano, that means they are fated to be with our Great Flame Immortal Dynasty; therefore, we also wish to ask Princess Tang to present the treasures for us all to see," Jiang Feng spoke with an apparently noble intention.

The words were spoken with a veneer of righteousness.

"Pfft!"

Xu Ping’an laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Xu Ping’an, what are you laughing at?" Jiang Feng immediately erupted in anger.

"I’m laughing at how utterly shameless your words are. Just because the people of your Great Flame Immortal Dynasty cultivate the fire attribute, does it mean that all fire attribute treasures under heaven belong to your royal family? Does that also mean the treasures of the Fire Divine Palace belong to you too?" Xu Ping’an laughed.

"Hmph, you’re twisting the facts. Xu Ping’an, you activated the Earth Formation in Sector Five and released over two thousand terra-cotta warriors, causing the death of dozens of people. I haven’t settled this account with you yet," Jiang Feng said angrily.

Upon hearing this, many showed a look of surprise.

Was the tragedy in Sector Five all caused by this guy?

This Xu Ping’an, he’s that ruthless guy?

He actually survived?

In that moment, Zhu Beihai and Cheng Feng from the Ghostly Nether Sect exchanged glances, both wearing expressions of relief.

Holy shit, this guy is the ruthless one from Sector Five?

They felt incredibly lucky just to be alive at this moment.

At this time, Tang Xinyue also looked at Xu Ping’an in amazement, having some knowledge of the events in Sector Five.

She had not expected Xu Ping’an to be the cause.

Was he really so heartless and ruthless?

But Xu Ping’an ignored them and replied with a sneer, "Jiang Feng, had you not tried to kill me first, why would I have activated the Earth Formation? So, you’re allowed to set fires, and I’m not allowed to light a lamp?"

As Jiang Feng was about to retort, a prince from the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty chuckled and said, "Murder is murder. Prince Jiang only aimed to kill you, without involving the innocent. But you activated the Earth Formation, killing many. That means you deserve to die."

Xu Ping’an looked at the prince from the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty, his gaze instantly flashing with a trace of coldness.

He turned his head to look at Tang Xinyue.

She also spoke up, "He is the Fourth Prince of our Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty, named Tang Yunjian. He is my half-brother from the same father but different mothers. And it was his mother, along with the Empress, who poisoned and killed my mother."

As she spoke, a surge of intense killing intent welled up in Tang Xinyue’s eyes.

Xu Ping’an was momentarily taken aback.

He had not expected Tang Xinyue to have such a background.

In other words, Tang Yunjian was not really her brother, but her enemy.

Otherwise, Tang Yunjian would not be standing against her.

However, Tang Yunjian’s combat power wasn’t very strong—just at the Seventh Rank Peak.

It was the elderly man standing behind him that had an impressive strength that seemed to have reached the Eighth Rank Peak in the Ninth Layer Realm.

The elder was clad in a delicate crimson silk robe, his complexion pale without a trace of facial hair, clearly identifying him as a eunuch.

The old eunuch looked toward Xu Ping’an with a frosty gaze.

In that instant, the fierceness within Xu Ping’an’s mind vibrated.

A powerful soul fluctuation assaulted him, and without any hesitation, Xu Ping’an immediately summoned the Supreme Immortal Seal to suppress the Niwan Palace.

"Pfft!"

A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of Xu Ping’an’s mouth.

It was silent and swift.

Although Xu Ping’an had fended off the elder’s soul attack, his soul origin had been shaken and injured.

"Eh!"

The elder uttered a surprised sound, apparently not expecting his soul attack to be blocked by Xu Ping’an, and only causing a trickle of blood to spill.

Seeing this, Tang Xinyue’s eyes surged with a strong killing intent.

She glared at the eunuch with eyes sharp as knives, "Xie Guangcai, for a mere eunuch to dare lay a hand on my people, aren’t you afraid I’ll inform the emperor and have your head?"

Tang Xinyue’s words were laced with intense killing intent.

"What’s the princess talking about? I wasn’t aware that Xu Ping’an was the princess’s man. I only knew that he was disrespectful to the Fourth Prince, and I merely wanted to teach him a lesson," the old eunuch immediately said, his voice full of smiles.

He was not at all afraid of Tang Xinyue’s threat.

Tang Yunjian, who was standing aside, said with a smile, "Rest assured, Elder Xie, with me here, no one will prosecute you."

"Thank you, Fourth Prince," the old eunuch said, still smiling.

Tang Xinyue grew even colder when she witnessed this scene.

She turned her head to Xu Ping’an, "You see, we are in a checkmate here, won’t you leave?"

Xu Ping’an, however, was smiling, "Do you think I can leave?"

Jiang Feng spoke, "Xu Ping’an, don’t even dream of leaving alive today, none of you will escape."

At his words, Huang Xinglong of the Ghostly Nether Sect nodded in agreement right away.

Xu Ping’an chuckled and turned to look at the other three individuals from Heaven Beyond Heavens.

The leaders of the three from Heaven Beyond Heavens were all youths, two men around thirty and one woman around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

"What about you? Are you also intent on killing us?" Xu Ping’an asked the three with a smile.

Upon hearing this, all three let out a light laugh.

One of the men spoke up with a dismissive tone, "We don’t care about your life or death; all we want are the treasures. Hand over the treasures, and we won’t get involved."

"Exactly, we have no interest in your life. Of course, the treasures you carry must be handed over; otherwise, the facade of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty wouldn’t be relentlessly after you," the woman added.

The remaining man also nodded with a smile, signaling his agreement.

Hearing this, Xu Ping’an burst into laughter.

Good!

Very good!

If that’s the case, he had nothing else to worry about.

"If you all want me dead, then I will make sure all of you die here," Xu Ping’an’s eyes turned icy, brimming with murderous intent.
