Dragon King’s Son-In-Law

Hao Ren stepped on two energy spheres and moved with a speed of the Nascent Soul Realm.

More than 8000 heavenly lightning bolts were aimed toward Lingwu Master.

Lingwu Master’s ten Heavenly Lightning Balls were condensed heavenly lightning bolts which were capable of killing Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, but Hao Ren’s 8,192 heavenly lightning bolts could turn Nascent Soul Realm cultivators into thin air.

Lingwu Master opened his eyes wide in shock because he couldn’t believe that Hao Ren could use such heavenly lightning bolts!

A bright red ax appeared under his feet; it was his natal dharma treasure! The big ax carried Lingwu Master as he desperately flew toward Sixth Heaven.

“Lightning induction!”

Hao Ren shot a sword energy up at the sky, inducing tens of heavenly lightning bolts to shot down!

There were 8,192 lightning bolts under his feet while tens of heavenly lightning bolts were above him; there was nowhere to hide for Lingwu Master.

The Sky-Turning Stamp expanded rapidly as Lingwu Master injected all of his nature essence into it.

In his thousand years of cultivation, he had run into situations where it was life and death, but none of them were like today. Today was the first time that he felt like his life was deeply threatened!

His experience as a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator told him that there was no escape!

Bam! Bam! Bam! The heavenly lightning bolts that Hao Ren induced hit Lingwu Master’s Sky-Turning Stamp.

The Sky-Turning Stamp dashed into the sky, and the Phoenix soul which was resting in it jumped to its surface. However, the heavenly lightning bolts crushed the Sky-Turning Stamp into pieces!

The power of the heavenly lightning was not something regular dharma treasures could handle!

The red giant ax under Lingwu Master’s feet shined bright and enveloped Lingwu Master.

He was about to activate his secret technique, Blood Escape Technique. By using half of his essence blood, he could teleport himself to somewhere thousands of kilometers away.

If he were able to escape successfully, his realm would at least fall to low-tier Nascent Soul Realm from peak Nascent Soul Realm, but it was still better than dying on the spot!

Pa… Lingwu Master crushed his ten fingers, and fresh blood spattered within the red energy sphere.

Whoosh… The heavenly lightning bolts that had chased to Lingwu Master’s feet numbed his body, but they quickly disappeared.

Hao Ren’s body could not withstand Zhao Haoran’s 1,000-year cultivation strength, so those streaks of mystical energy in his body locked this power!

Lingwu Master stood there in surprise. He hesitated for a few seconds and suddenly burst into laughter. “It’s fate! It’s fate!”

He looked around and realized that he was still the strongest within the area.

He thought that he heard a woman’s voice, but when he looked around carefully, he couldn’t see a woman at all.

Hao Ren’s nature essence was used up, so he fell straight toward the valley.

Lingwu Master’s red, giant ax floated up to his side while his hands were dripping with blood.

If the 8,192 heavenly lightning bots lasted one second long, Lingwu Master would need to use up half of his essence blood and try to escape!

“Grand Uncle-Master!” Duan Yao was standing on her Purple Green Treasure Sword as she looked down at Hao Ren who had fallen into the valley. Then, she flew toward Lingwu Master.

Now that the array formation of Ethereal Summit was destroyed, all the mist disappeared.

Duan Yao and Lingwu Master stood high in the sky as they looked down at the valley, capable of seeing everything.

“Hao Ren!” Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia looked up and shouted together.

Whoosh! Little White flew up and caught Hao Ren.

The cultivators of the three small sects were all dead silent.

Even Core Formation Realm cultivators couldn’t escape from a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. They had also killed tens of Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect, so their tragic endings were unpreventable.

Lingwu Master had escaped from death, and he looked down slowly at the valley.

His Mystic Sun Shield and Sky-Turning Stamp were destroyed, and he used ten Heavenly Lightning Balls… Also, 60 Core Formation Realm cultivators had died, and over 200 Core Formation Realm cultivators were spared from death but were now powerless, equivalent to dying.

Sky Mountain Sect incurred a huge loss!

“Yao, look carefully at how much it took for me to save you! Look at how many disciples died for you!” Lingwu Master pointed at the valley and growled.

Duan Yao clenched her teeth while her face turned pale.

The Sky Mountain Sect had tens of thousands of cultivators. She didn’t know most of them, but she knew a few Core Formation Realm cultivators among them.

“I will give you another chance to redeem yourself; you have to kill all the cultivators in this valley!”

Lingwu Master started his sentence with a calm tone, but he suddenly turned murderous when he got to the second half.

Duan Yao was scared, and her body shivered uncontrollably.

Hao Ren had fallen to the valley. He raised both his arms, and the sword energies flew out of his body and formed an umbrella to protect Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia.

However, his realm had fallen from peak Qian-level to top-tier Gen-level; he could only shoot out 320 sword energies.

Duan Yao’s face was pale. She held the Purple Green Treasure Sword as she looked at Hao Ren and the others with hesitation.

“Yao, I walked on many corpses before reaching my current realm. If my realm is weak, I would have been killed already.”

Lingwu Master lightly tapped Duan Yao on the back, and she fell back into the valley with her sword.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Xie Yujia pulled on her bow and shot out two arrows at Duan Yao.

Duan Yao used her Purple Green Treasure Sword and cut the arrows. Hao Ren’s 320 sword energies were immediately activated and aimed toward Duan Yao as well.

Hao Ren seemed to have heard Lady Zhen’s voice, but he couldn’t see her nearby. He couldn’t really guess where she was.

“Yao, look! Even if you don’t attack, they will! There’s nothing called compassion in this world. There’s only killing!” Lingwu Master’s voice sounded in the sky like thunder.

Duan Yao looked at Hao Ren’s firm expression as the 320 sword energies dashed at her. She clenched her teeth and activated the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll and fought off the first batch of sword energies.

“Yes, he doesn’t care. We are enemies!” Anger grew within Duan Yao, and her Purple Green Treasure Sword was lit up with flashes of green lights. She released Tianshu, Tianxuan, and Tianqi together.

Zhao Yanzi took out the essence-locking notes and threw them at Duan Yao.

Xie Yujia had made these essence-locking note for Hao Ren, but Hao Ren had already run out before she could give them to him. Therefore, she gave them to Zhao Yanzi.

Different from dharma treasures, dharma notes could be activated as long as one had sufficient nature essence, regardless of what elemental attribute he or she had.

There were different types of dharma notes.

For instance, a wood-elemental cultivator could use a fire note to cast fireballs, and an earth-elemental cultivator could use water notes to send out ice arrows. Dharma notes were generally used by those cultivators who didn’t have dharma treasures to protect themselves.

Zhao Yanzi didn’t have any weapons, so she could only shoot out these dharma notes. The good thing was that they were quite effective. However, she could shoot out a few dharma notes in a second.

It took Xie Yujia half a night to make 100 dharma notes, but Zhao Yanzi had shot out 20 in a blink of an eye. It was worth mentioning that Xie Yujia wasn’t slow at making dharma notes. Normal cultivators would not waste dharma notes at this speed!

Sword energies, spiritual arrows, dharma notes all flew toward Duan Yao.

Before Duan Yao had even landed, she was already busy fighting off these attacks. Of all the attacks, she was most afraid of the essence-locking notes.

If an essence-locking note hit her, all her nature essence would be locked, and the sword energies and spiritual arrows would run through her body.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Three of Hao Ren’s sword energies went through Duan Yao’s shoulder, and one of Xie Yujia’s spiritual arrows hit Duan Yao’s leg.

Blood flowed out of the wounds and dyed her green silk dress bright red!

When Duan Yao saw the three’s determined looks and ruthless attacks, she felt wronged and sad.

The few hours where she was captured in the valley seemed to be the warmest and most heartfelt!

They gave her water and food and even healed her!

“Yao. Open your eyes wide! If you don’t kill them, they will kill you!” Lingwu Master shouted in the sky.

He knew that Duan Yao was no match for all three of them but wanted her to feel the pain of being attacked!

“Kill!”

Duan Yao landed on the grass in the valley and swung the Purple Green Treasure Sword five times before charging toward Hao Ren.

Her foundation in martial arts was better than Zhao Yanzi’s, the Purple Green Treasure Sword was originally hers, and her realm was also higher. Therefore, Duan Yao’s attack with the Purple Green Treasure Sword was much more powerful.

Hao Ren’s sword energies merged to form a longsword. With just a small tick, it was able to knock away Duan Yao’s Purple Green Treasure Sword.

Duan Yao’s old injuries reopened, and her new wounds were also bleeding. She was unable to withstand the attack and was obviously half a second late in her reactions.

Hao Ren pointed the sword at her neck easily.

Duan Yao stared back at Hao Ren and stopped all her movements.

Hao Ren was able to pierce through her throat without moving his arm since his longsword could turn back into sword energies.

It seemed like time had suddenly frozen. Duan Yao and Hao Ren were one sword’s distance away from each other, and Duan Yao clearly saw the coldness in Hao Ren’s eyes.

“Yao. If I am not here, you would have lost your life! Why don’t you see this?”

Lingwu Master cast a red light from the sky.

Bam!

That red light crushed Hao Ren’s colorful longsword.

Then, another giant red light beam struck toward Hao Ren.

“Yao. You have strength but don’t dare to kill! Your sword techniques aren’t as brisk as before. Is it because you have grown feelings for him? If that’s the case, I will cut all the ties you have with him!”

The red light beam blew Duan Yao tens of meters away and crushed at Hao Ren.

“Hahaha, I was wondering why this little guy isn’t happy; it turned out that there is someone much more murderous,” a crisp and moving voice suddenly sounded in the valley. It wasn’t a shout, but everyone heard it clearly. It was like someone whispered beside all the cultivators at once.

An alluring figure appeared on the top of the mountain to the west.

She was wearing a light blue dress and holding a floral umbrella. As a light wind blew by, it felt like she had been standing there for a long time.

She flicked her fingers lightly, and the giant red light beam was blown thousands of meters away. The light beam hit a mountain, and the mountain was crushed to bits.

“Little brat, how dare you try to kill my new nephew? Have you grown tired of living?” Lady Zhen stood on top of the mountain as she questioned Lingwu Master.
