Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

"Xu Ping’an, you won’t die a good death, the Zhou Family will certainly kill you!" Chen Hai shrieked venomously.

He was completely incapacitated.

With his Pill Sea shattered, even if he could cling to life, he would be thoroughly crippled.

Moreover, he had made many enemies over the years, now having lost his cultivation, he would die a more miserable death than anyone else.

"I am actually hoping they come for me. Today, I shall annihilate the Zhou Family," Xu Ping’an stated coldly.

Having said this, Xu Ping’an delivered a sword strike, decapitating Chen Hai in an instant.

Chen Hai was killed on the spot, utterly losing all signs of life, his blood staining the ground red.

Sun Qiu and Tang Qingheng stood there, stunned.

How much time had passed? They remembered that just a month ago, Xu Ping’an was still a worthless person unable to cultivate.

All he thought about was marrying into the Zhou Family.

But now, Chen Hai of the Sea-Splitting Realm Seventh Layer had stood utterly powerless before him?

Xu Ping’an’s rate of progress was truly shocking to them.

Of course, Xu Ping’an’s ruthlessly decisive actions were also shocking.

"Uncle Sun, Uncle Tang, this is the Heavenly Green Pill, an intermediate grade Third Rank healing elixir. Each of you take one, it should help with recovering from your injuries. Additionally, here are twenty Second Rank Superior Grade Spirit Origin Pills, ten for each of you, which should help you advance to the Ninth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm," Xu Ping’an offered, presenting two bottles of pills.

"How can we accept this?" Tang Qingheng hastily declined.

"I have plenty of these pills, Uncle Tang, don’t be polite. Besides, I am not giving them to you for nothing, I still need you to help look after the ancestral mansion," Xu Ping’an explained.

Tang Qingheng still hesitated.

"Alright, we’ll accept it. Ping’an, you’re quite the young man, to have become so strong," Sun Qiu said with a look of satisfaction.

Xu Ping’an gave a slight smile.

Sun Qiu and Tang Qingheng had indeed taken good care of him over the years.

Therefore, Xu Ping’an felt deep gratitude towards them, considering them his elders in his heart.

In his previous life, he was the Immortal Emperor, but now he had reincarnated; in this life, he was Xu Ping’an.

"Ping’an, although you are not weak now, the Zhou Family won’t let you off easily. They are about to arrive; you should leave quickly," Tang Qingheng advised, having taken the Heavenly Green Pill and recovered somewhat from his injuries.

Sun Qiu had also taken the medicine and spoke up to urge him, "Right, you should leave now. Now that Chen Hai is dead, they will no longer attack the Xu Family mansion. There’s still time for you to get away."

"I have no intention of leaving. I’ve come here fully prepared to obliterate the Zhou Family once and for all," Xu Ping’an stated indifferently, yet a chilling light flickered in his eyes.

"But the Zhou Family is very powerful. Zhou Kuiyu is at the Ninth Layer Peak of the Sea-Splitting Realm, the Great Elder Zhou Muye is also at the Ninth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm, and in addition, the second Zhou Lintian and third brother Zhou Tianhe of the Zhou Family are both at the Peak of the Eighth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm. With their involvement, you’ll be outnumbered, and you might not be a match for them," Tang Qingheng said anxiously.

"Rest assured, Uncle Tang, I have my methods. As for what follows, do not intervene. Trust me, the Zhou Family will be extinguished today," Xu Ping’an assured with a faint smile.

Tang Qingheng and Sun Qiu exchanged glances, both filled with immense astonishment.

They didn’t understand why Xu Ping’an was so confident.

Was it arrogance?

Li Qingyi, however, didn’t think so at that moment. As she observed the seemingly unaffected Xu Ping’an, her heart could not remain calm.

Although it seemed impossible to her,

For some reason, her instincts told her that Xu Ping’an could achieve it.

"They’re here!"

Just at that moment, Xu Ping’an suddenly looked up towards the gate.

The next second, dozens of cultivators surrounded the Xu Family estate.

These cultivators stood atop the courtyard walls, with crossbows in hand.

Zhou Kuiyu, the head of the Zhou Family, walked in leading a group of people, with Zhou Mengyue among them.

Zhou Kuiyu glanced at the corpses of Chen Hai and others on the ground, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

The other members of the Zhou Family also showed their astonishment.

But Zhou Mengyue’s gaze fell upon Li Qingyi.

```

Why is Li Qingyi here?

What is her relationship with Xu Ping’an?

As for the corpses on the ground, in her view, they were probably killed by Li Qingyi’s hand.

"That really surprised me, Chen Hai actually died. Did you join forces to kill him?" Zhou Kuiyu smiled as he looked toward Xu Ping’an and the others.

In his opinion, it must have been a joint effort by Xu Ping’an and his companions that resulted in Chen Hai’s death, so he did not pay it much attention.

Moreover, with Chen Hai being merely at the Seventh Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm, such cultivation was nothing in front of him.

"Zhou Kuiyu, Chen Hai was called here by you, wasn’t he?" Xu Ping’an said with a cold smile.

"How dare you, Xu Ping’an! My father’s name is not for you to casually call out." Zhou Mengyue immediately scolded.

Xu Ping’an looked at Zhou Mengyue and chuckled, "If I don’t call him Zhou Kuiyu, what should I call him? Zhou Family Head? Uncle Zhou? Or perhaps... Father-in-law?"

When Xu Ping’an got to the last part, the expression on his face was full of self-mockery.

"Hmph, you aren’t worthy to call him father-in-law!" Zhou Mengyue snorted coldly, her gaze filled with disdain.

After today, Xu Ping’an was bound to be a dead man.

And her past with Xu Ping’an would be forgotten by everyone.

"Xu Ping’an, the speed of your growth has indeed surprised me, hand over the opportunity you acquired from my Zhou Family, and I can spare your life," Zhou Kuiyu said with a smile.

"The opportunity I acquired from your Zhou Family?" Xu Ping’an started laughing.

He suspected he had heard wrong.

"Xu Ping’an, you stole the Zhou Family’s ancestral heritage treasure, which is why you could rise so rapidly in such a short amount of time and become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Beichen Sword Sect. Do you still plan to deny it?" the Zhou Family’s Great Elder, Zhou Muye, immediately shouted.

"That’s right, hand over our Zhou Family’s ancestral heritage treasure." The second elder of the Zhou Family, Zhou Lintian, also followed suit and shouted.

"Hand over the Zhou Family treasure." The Zhou Family crowd shouted in unison.

Xu Ping’an laughed, shaking his head repeatedly.

Zhou Family’s treasure?

He had never taken a single thing from the Zhou Family.

The Zhou Family’s ancestral heritage treasure they mentioned clearly stemmed from their belief that his rapid rise was due to an opportunity he had acquired, and they were coveting whatever opportunity he had.

"The Zhou Family treasure you’re talking about, is it this?" Xu Ping’an chuckled, taking out a piece of the Heaven Peering Mirror shard from his bosom.

Zhou Kuiyu took one look and his eyes immediately lit up.

An ancient aura, it was definitely a treasure!

"Yes, that is indeed the Zhou Family’s ancestral heritage treasure, left by our Zhou Family ancestors. You took advantage of the wedding night to steal it, and now it is time to return it," Zhou Kuiyu said right away.

"How audacious, Xu Ping’an! Hand over the treasure and kneel down to accept your punishment." Zhou Muye shouted loudly.

The Zhou Family members were all issuing orders arrogantly.

Xu Ping’an laughed.

"Left by the Zhou Family ancestors," that was an item he had used in his previous life; he had none of these unfilial descendants.

By his side, Li Qingyi’s lips also curved into a cold smile.

Because she knew that it was something she and Xu Ping’an had obtained from a cave.

How could it have become the Zhou Family’s ancestral heritage treasure?

Clearly, these people were slandering.

"I used to think there was a limit to the shamelessness of the Zhou Family, but now I see I was wrong. You Zhou Family, a nest of rats and snakes, are nothing but a bunch of despicable characters. I can’t be bothered to waste more words with you. If you want to seize the opportunity that I, Xu Ping’an, have obtained, then you’ll have to see if you’ve got the life for it," Xu Ping’an said, his face growing colder.

The Meteorite Iron Sword in his hand was flashing with a cold light as he looked at the Zhou Family members.

"Come on, then. After today, there will be no Zhou Family in Tian Wu City."

Xu Ping’an’s shout was thunderous, his voice echoing throughout the whole of Tian Wu City.

"You brat, seek death!"

The third elder of the Zhou Family, Zhou Tianhe, raged and was the first to charge toward Xu Ping’an.
