Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 741 - 740: Artifact Refining Competition

"Hmph, if my master is just a cat or a dog, then what does that make you?"

Xu Ping’an did not get angry, but the Savage Ape King following him let out an angry snort.

Having acknowledged Xu Ping’an as his master, Xu Ping’an had become his owner, and hearing someone insult Xu Ping’an, how could it bear it with its fiery temper?

"Master? You must be a Demon Beast, how interesting. No wonder you’re so temperamental. A shape-shifting Demon Beast must have a not so low bloodline grade. How about you take me as your new master?" the young man in the red robe glanced at the Savage Ape King and said with a light laugh, his eyes showing some appreciation for the Savage Ape King.

A Demon Beast capable of taking human form was extremely rare.

How did this youngster get so lucky as to obtain such a Demon Beast?

"Hmph, you’re worthy to be my master? I wouldn’t even take you as a pet," the Savage Ape King retorted angrily.

"What an arrogant Demon Beast," the young man in the red robe showed a hint of anger in his eyes.

This mere Demon Beast dared to disrespect him?

"Presumptuous, a mere Demon Beast dares to disrespect my family’s Young Lord. Do you know who you are speaking to?" a maidservant behind the young man immediately chided.

"Young Lord? Are you people from Heaven Beyond Heavens?" Xu Ping’an said with a light chuckle.

"You do have some insight. Yes, indeed, my family’s Young Lord is the legitimate son of the Heavenly Master of Crimson Refinement Heaven and possesses extremely strong talent in artifact refining. If you could become the Young Lord’s spiritual beast, it would be your honor," the maidservant said with a cold snort.

This maidservant’s cultivation was not low, having reached the Tenth Rank Third Layer Realm.

For a servant to possess such cultivation, it showed that this Crimson Refinement Heaven was truly extraordinary.

"Crimson Refinement Heaven, one of the thirty-six superior Heavens Beyond Heavens. It is said that the Heavenly Master of Crimson Refinement Heaven is a genius in artifact refining himself, with strength at the Immortal Emperor Realm, and commands three other Immortal Emperor Realm experts. Their status among the thirty-six superior Heavens Beyond Heavens is also quite high," Yin Xue transmitted to Xu Ping’an.

"I know, I have met the Heavenly Master of Crimson Refinement Heaven," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

The Heavenly Master of Crimson Refinement Heaven had once sought his guidance on artifact refining, indeed possessing profound knowledge in the art.

But he had not expected his son to be so arrogant.

"Are you scared? If you’re sensible, hand over your Demon Beast to me, or don’t blame my family’s Young Lord for being impolite," the maidservant, seeing the surprised look on Xu Ping’an’s face, said with a scornful light laugh.

"Me, scared? Let alone a Young Lord, even if your father himself came, I would not fear him," Xu Ping’an said with a light chuckle.

"Arrogant to the extreme, you are not even worthy to meet my family’s Heavenly Master," the maidservant said disdainfully.

The other servants also chuckled disdainfully.

The Young Lord himself laughed mockingly, his eyes filled with contempt.

Another braggart spouting nonsense.

Looking at his attire, he clearly did not come from any significant force.

"Young man, I’ll give you three days to bring your spiritual beast to my residence. If you do so, I might spare your life. Otherwise, I doubt you’ll leave Divine Artifact City alive," the young man in the red robe sneered, then no longer paying attention to Xu Ping’an, headed into the city.

The other maidservants and guards quickly followed.

However, an elder took a glance at Xu Ping’an, and the oppressive force of an Eleventh Rank Ninth Layer Realm bore down on Xu Ping’an as if to caution him.

Xu Ping’an pretended to stumble as if he was about to fall.

Seeing this scene, the elder sneered, and then entered the city following the young man.

"Master, they’ve gone too far, why didn’t you retaliate?" the Savage Ape King said unwillingly.

It knew how formidable Xu Ping’an was; the elder at the peak of the Eleventh Rank Ninth Layer Realm was no match for Xu Ping’an at all.

It could be said that Xu Ping’an could kill him effortlessly, without any need to show weakness to them.

"I have my own matters to attend to, and it wouldn’t be wise to reveal my strength so easily. Once I display my power, others will surely guess that it’s me," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

His current cultivation was only at the Tenth Rank First Layer Realm.

Once he displayed strength at the Semi-Emperor Realm, the first person others would think of would be him.

After all, it would be very difficult to find a second person who could show such strength at the Tenth Rank First Layer Realm.

"But they’re too much, Master, are you afraid of that Heaven Beyond Heavens?" The Savage Ape King still couldn’t accept it.

"Idiot, do you think Master would be afraid? Master just can’t be bothered to quarrel with them, how many people from Heaven Beyond Heavens has Master killed before, have you forgotten?" Yin Xue said.

She had also heard about Ping’an’s deeds from Xiao Jin.

The stories of Xu Ping’an’s massacre in the Mortal Realm made her blood boil with excitement.

"But..." The Savage Ape King still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Jin at his side.

"Big Brother Ape, Master has come here for the Divine Fire, how can we get the Divine Fire if we cause a big commotion now?" Xiao Jin said.

"But what about after three days? Is Master really going to give me away to them?" The Savage Ape King said unwillingly.

"Don’t worry, although I don’t want to make trouble, I won’t let others bully me either. If he dares to trouble me again, I don’t mind teaching him a lesson. Let’s go, let’s enter the city," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Hearing this, the Savage Ape King didn’t say anything else.

He followed Xu Ping’an towards the city.

Once inside the city, they discovered that there were indeed many powerful beings who had entered this place.

Tenth Rank Experts seemed to be everywhere.

And most of these people were Cultivators with Fire Attributes, obviously Artifact Refiners.

Xu Ping’an arrived at the headquarters of the Refining Alliance.

This Refining Alliance was located in the center of Divine Artifact City and occupied an area as large as a royal city.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

In front of the gate of the Refining Alliance stood a huge hammer statue, which contained a profound atmosphere, symbolizing the status of Artifact Refiners.

Following the requirements, Xu Ping’an went to the registration point and registered for the contest.

Of course, he also paid the registration fee of ten thousand Low Grade Immortal Stones.

It must be said, there really were a lot of people registering for the Artifact Refining contest.

Just now he asked someone about the registration, and with five days left until the contest, there were already thirty thousand people registered.

By the end of the registration period, at least fifty thousand Artifact Refiners would probably come to participate.

After registering, Xu Ping’an and the others were arranged by the Refining Alliance servants to stay in a courtyard.

To avoid attracting too much attention, Xu Ping’an still brought the Savage Ape King and Xiao Jin into the Demon Elephant Tower, leaving only Yin Xue outside.

"You’re here to participate in the Artifact Refining contest as well, aren’t you? Hello, my name is Zhang Zhantian, I’m also a participant in this Artifact Refining contest,"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, a warm-hearted young man greeted him with a smile.

The courtyard was not occupied by just one group of people; evidently, this person was another contestant living in the same courtyard.

Besides Zhang Zhantian, there were two other people.

However, both of them had no intention of greeting him and just coldly glanced at Xu Ping’an before retracting their gaze.

"My name is Qin Feng," Xu Ping’an responded with a smile.

Looking at the enthusiastic young man before him, his eyes carried a light chuckle.

The young man before him appeared to have the cultivation of Tenth Rank First Layer Realm, but in reality, it was Tenth Rank Ninth Layer Realm.

He sure hid it deeply.
