Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Then, she said to them, “I think you guys don’t need to fight for him because both of you don’t deserve him.”
Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia both turned to look at Duan Yao.
“Your senior brother won’t even look at you guys. He’s going to reach the Nascent Soul Realm soon. If he were to find a partner, he would find one who is at least in the Core Formation Realm,” Duan Yao said.
When Zhao Yanzi heard Duan Yao’s words, she looked at her angrily. For Xie Yujia, she only looked at her with frustration and didn’t know what was going on in Duan Yao’s head.
“If you guys put enough effort into cultivation and reach the Core Formation Realm, then maybe you guys would deserve him. But… I think he’d reach at least mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm. If you guys are still only at low-tier Core Formation Realm cultivators, it wouldn’t be a match,” Duan Yao said.
What she said was indeed the standard rules across the cultivation world. Those mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were only one step away top-tier Nascent Soul Realm, so they weren’t willing to keep a low-tier Core Formation Realm concubine by their sides.
Duan Yao felt sorry for Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia since they were only at the Foundation Establishment Realm and had to look up to their senior brother who was at Core Formation Realm and had hopes of charging at the Nascent Soul Realm.
Duan Yao thought back to the fact that she was at the Core Formation Realm, so she had a sense of superiority. Also, she was happy that she could strike them mentally.
“Jerk!” Zhao Yanzi picked up a bag of snack and threw it at Duan Yao.
Duan Yao leaned her head to one side and dodged. Although she couldn’t use nature essence, she was still very agile since she had practiced martial arts.
Zhao Yanzi looked at Duan Yao in anger. However, she suddenly thought that Duan Yao was a pitiful person who didn’t have chips to eat, television to watch, and computers to play with…
When Zhao Yanzi thought about these things, she felt like Duan Yao’s life was very boring!
Duan Yao was feeling uncomfortable because Zhao Yanzi was looking at her funny. She suddenly thought that maybe she had gone overboard with her words and destroyed Zhao Yanzi’s love fantasy. What if Zhao Yanzi was so mad that she would do something to her?
“Hao Ren said that he left you with us. I almost forgot that,” Zhao Yanzi said.
Duan Yao’s little face suddenly turned stiff.
Hao Ren wouldn’t do anything to her, so he left her to Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia.
After all, only they understood what had happened between them.
Now that the Sky Mountain Sect cultivators surrounded Ethereal Summit, Hao Ren had no interest in dealing with the arrogant Duan Yao.
“You almost killed the both of us.” Zhao Yanzi walked up to Duan Yao with a wry smile.
“Kill me if you want!” Duan Yao looked up proudly.
Zhao Yanzi had viewed Fifth Heaven as a tourist spot, but that was the wrong perception.
Duan Yao wanted to kill Zhao Yanzi because Zhao Yanzi took her stuff. If it were other stronger cultivators, they would have murdered Zhao Yanzi because of the dharma treasures she owned!
Zhao Yanzi looked at Duan Yao and thought that the latter lived a pitiful life; she now knew that Fifth Heaven wasn’t as safe as she had thought.
She was able to rob the evil cultivators on Fifth Heaven because they were all weak cultivators. However, she would not be able to withstand those cultivators from Sixth Heaven.
If it weren’t for the explosion of the golden bell on Little White’s neck, she would have either died in the hands of Duan Yao or the hands of that black-faced cultivator.
After some more thoughts, Duan Yao’s rudeness and unreasonableness were understandable since she grew up in such an environment. In reality, she was just cautious and looked after herself.
The cultivation world was indeed so. You would not know whether another person was going to start attacking you.
Foundation Building Realm cultivators looked scared in front of Core Formation Realm cultivators, but they might have tricks up their sleeves. If something went wrong, and they felt like their lives were in danger, the Foundation Building Realm cultivators would attack the Core Formation Realm cultivators without mercy!
Hao Ren was able to strike back at Hongyuan Master because of the same logic; he had secretly hidden three enhancement pills and six essence-locking notes on him to kill the Nascent Soul Realm master in one shot!
“It’s ok. I won’t fuss with you!” Zhao Yanzi suddenly turned around and sat on the stone bed.
Duan Yao looked at Zhao Yanzi with shock and was confused.
Xie Yujia also looked at Zhao Yanzi with confusion because she couldn’t guess what Zhao Yanzi was thinking.
Hao Ren left Duan Yao to them, but both Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia were not ruthless.
The room turned silent again.
Zhao Yanzi cultivated the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll while Xie Yujia continued making dharma notes.
Duan Yao sat there doing nothing. She thought for a while and suddenly said, “If you guys want to escape, then you have to escape fast. After tonight, my grand uncle-master will come out of seclusion cultivation.”
She looked very serious and wasn’t threatening at all.
Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi looked at each other before turning back to Duan Yao, but the latter had shut her eyes and didn’t say another word.
Bam!
An explosion shook the valley.
Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi rushed to the cave entrance and saw that over 200 cultivators were riding on snow lions and attacking from all directions.
Bang! All sorts of colorful lights lit up the valley as it shook violently again; it shook so violently that Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia almost fell outside the cave.
Over 200 Core Formation Realm cultivators attacked Ethereal Summit with over 200 snow lions that were at least level 3!
Over 200 dharma treasures were thrown at the valley. Every time they attacked, the mountains on the sides would be shortened a little.
Almost all the mid-tier Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect came here and surrounded Ethereal Summit!
Bang! There was another attack, and the outer energy sphere immediately cracked!
The mountains around Ethereal Summit were all exploded!
The mountains were falling, and the ground was cracking!
Many cultivators in the three small sects around Ethereal Summit died!
Hua… A beam of light was shot out from Hao Ren’s cave.
The purple gold hairpin that was stuck to the ground flew up with the wind, and the golden shield which was sleeping on the peak of a mountain followed the light as well.
“Die!”
Hao Ren was furious. As he flew into the sky, he shot the 640 sword energies in all directions.
In reality, he was confident that he could have taken Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi with him and escape from Fifth Heaven.
However, he was afraid that the three small sects around here would be exterminated, and the spiritual fields that Xie Yujia put a lot of effort into would be wasted. Therefore, he decided to stay in the valley. He wanted to use his power of peak Qian-level to defeat the Grand Uncle-Master of Sky Mountain Sect and try to negotiate.
However, just when he was cultivating, Sky Mountain Sect came suddenly and attacked!
The cultivators in the three small sects ended up being sacrificed!
The Sky Mountain Sect cultivators didn’t care about the lives of these cultivators of small sects. Since they were affiliated with the Herb King Master, Sky Mountain Sect treated them as pure enemies and didn’t mind killing them all!
As sword energies dashed toward the hundreds of Core Formation Realm cultivators, Hao Ren crushed the Five-Mountain Bracelets.
“Nine-Sky Star-Breaking Array Formation!”
Over 200 Core Formation Realm cultivators shouted simultaneously.
Nine whi
te beams of light shot up high into the sky from the ground, and the nine circular light beams which had diameters of hundreds of meters moved around in a circular pattern. The mountains they touched immediately got crushed!
“Ultimate strike!” over 200 Core Formation Realm cultivators shouted again in unison.
This great array formation could kill any cultivator below mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm. The Sect Master had ordered that they needed to flatten Ethereal Summit before the Grand Uncle-Master finished his seclusion cultivation.
The nine light beams merged into one in the sky, forming a pillar with a radius of 500 meters; it was aimed toward Hao Ren!
Under such pressure, any cultivator below mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm would not be able to escape! This strike would be similar to the power of top-tier Nascent Soul Realm.
Under such a blow, it could flatten Ethereal Summit and crush Hao Ren so that nothing would be left!
Duan Yao could see the blazing white light in the sky, and her face turned pale.
Although she had her grand uncle-master’s lifesaving token, she might still not be able to live with her Core Formation Realm powers under such an earth-shattering attack!
Her nature essence was also locked, so she was like an ordinary person. If the Nine-Sky Star-Breaking Array Formation was fully unleashed, she would die for sure!
“Dad is too cold-hearted! To save the reputation of Sky Mountain Sect, he doesn’t even care about my life and wants to end the fight before tomorrow!’
Bam!
The 640 sword energies turned into 1280 sword energies!
Bam!
The 1,280 sword energies turned into 2,560 sword energies!
Bam!
The 2,560 sword energies turned into 5,120 sword energies!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
There were now 40,960 sword energies!
Peak Qian-level!
603 The Strongest Shield?
“Break!” Hao Ren pointed one hand toward the sky.
More than 40,000 sword energies merged from all directions and charged toward the thick white light beam that was falling from the sky.
These sword energies went against the flow!
In fact, the light beam created by the sword energies was twice as big than the light beam that was made from the array formation!
This light beam followed the direction that Hao Ren was pointing at, forcing back the power of the array formation.
Duan Yao’s arms and legs were tied, but she still stood up as she watched Hao Ren who was in the sky with shock.
Hao Ren had broken the ultimate array formation of the Sky Mountain Sect, Nine-Sky Star-Breaking Array Formation, on his own!
This proved that Hao Ren’s strength was at mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm!
This cultivator who she thought was only at top-tier Core Formation Realm was actually a top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
More than 200 mid-tier Core Formation Realm cultivators created the array formation and tried to crush Hao Ren with the thick light beam, but Hao Ren was able to withstand that pressure!
If the light beam were to strike down, the valley would no longer exist.
Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi held each other’s hands as they watched Hao Ren anxiously. Under such overwhelming power, they couldn’t help Hao Ren out at all.
They prayed that Hao Ren could break through this situation and create an opening!
It was the night on Fifth Heaven, but the sky was lit up so brightly as if it were daytime.
Duan Yao hoped that Hao Ren could withstand the light beam as well.
Colorful lights sparkled in Hao Ren’s arms, and he was further releasing Zhao Haoran’s 1000-year cultivation strength!
More than 40,000 sword energies all expanded at once, pushing the light beam up by 1,000 meters in the sky!
Bang… More than 200 Core Formation Realm cultivators were all knocked back.
“Yes!” Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi couldn’t help but shout and hugged each other once they felt safe again.
“Incredible…” Duan Yao shouted as well. However, she suddenly thought it wasn’t right, so she immediately closed her mouth.
Luckily, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia were too excited and didn’t notice Duan Yao’s words.
The cultivators of the three small sects who survived the initial attack were all shocked.
They had never seen a troop of almost 300 Core Formation Realm cultivators. Moreover, they had never seen someone defeat a low-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and break the super array formation made up of over 200 Core Formation Realm cultivators!
“Kill!”
The tens of Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect charged toward the valley since the array formation around the valley was broken.
Those cultivators of the small sects who were looking up at Hao Ren didn’t have time to react before a few sharp swords pierced through them.
These disciples of the small sects were mainly at the Qi Refinement Realm, and some of them were at the Foundation Building Realm; there were only a few Core Formation Realm cultivators.
Therefore, the cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect were able to dash over and kill these little cultivators. To them, it was as easy as killing ants.
Although there were two to three Core Formation Realm cultivators within the small sects, they were unable to withstand the attacks.
This time, Sky Mountain Sect was massacring!
“Die!”
Hao Ren uttered this word again.
If the last shout was a warning, then this time, he was going to take action!
More than 40,000 sword energies covered the entire mountain! Each sword energy had a bit of Hao Ren’s spiritual senses in it!
All the swords pierced through hearts!
The colorful sword energies pierced through the Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect with lightning speed!
In seconds, over 60 Core Formation Realm cultivators fell to the ground!
They had thought that Hao Ren’s sword energies couldn’t be that agile, so they wanted to disturb Hao Ren. However, they did not know that Hao Ren’s sword energies were like his eyes and could trace them!
The sword energies circled Hao Ren and formed a dense sword sphere. Then, they suddenly shot at over 200 Core Formation Realm cultivators who had created the array formation!
Buzz… A white energy sphere appeared.
Since Nine-Sky Star-Breaking Array Formation could kill Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, it could be used to defend against attacks as well.
Ten Sides Ambush Array Formation! Since Hao Ren was now at peak Qian-level, he was able to jump over levels and use this powerful sword array formation documented in the book that Old Grandma gave him.
Hao Ren used his 40960 sword energies to create ten layers of sword formations, using array formation to attack array formation!
Pop!
The array formation was popped like a bubble, and Hao Ren’s sword energies broke the Sky Mountain Sect’s array formation which was made by hundreds of people in the blink of an eye!
The hundreds of Core Formation Realm cultivators wanted to recreate it but were too late!
The sword energies had pierced through their shoulders, bellies, and knees. Over 200 Core Formation Realm cultivators went flying in all directions as if a lotus was blooming!
Whether it was those 60 cultivators who had been pierced through their chests or the 250 cultivators whose acupoints were destroyed, they might never be able to cultivate again!
The 250 Core Formation Realm cultivators who were knocked away could still potentially survive, but those 60 Core Formation Realm cultivators who tried to attack the weak cultivators of the three sects were in danger. Right now, even the Qi Refinement Realm cultivators charged at them with long swords; they might die under the attacks of the people who they tried to kill.
Suddenly, the Sky Mountain Sect had lost over 300 Core Formation Realm cultivators! Their troop was completely
destroyed while attacking Ethereal Summit!
Duan Yao looked up in the sky helplessly, and her mind went blank.
“How dare you!”
A bursting pressure came gushing from Sixth Heaven.
The Grand Uncle-Master of Sky Mountain Sect who was about to end his seclusion cultivation finally came out early!
Having more than 300 Core Formation Realm cultivators destroyed was equivalent to the sect being extinguished!
If he still didn’t come out, all Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect would be killed!
Hundreds of elixir pills fell from the sky along with Lingwu Master’s loud voice. “Use the foundation establishment pills to secure your foundations!”
Hao Ren didn’t completely crush these 250 Core Formation Realm cultivators’ golden cores, so they still had the foundation to cultivate. If they ate the foundation establishment pills in time, they could still save some strength. If they were lucky, they could maintain the low-tier Core Formation Realm. If they weren’t, they would fall back into the Foundation Establishment Realm!
The arms and legs of these cultivators were all covered with blood, but they had to climb to get the foundation establishment pills. As long as they didn’t turn into ordinary people and maintained some cultivation strength, they could still cultivate again.
After all, they were cultivators, and they couldn’t be able to withstand falling back to be mortals. The people who cultivated would have hundreds of years to live while mortals lived much shorter.
After giving out the elixir pills, this Grand Uncle-Master of Sky Mountain Sect appeared!
His body was burly, and his face was red. He was wearing a black eight-trigram robe, and he pointed one finger at Hao Ren!
Peak Nascent Soul Realm!
The strong aura made hundreds of surrounding mountains explode, and the ground was flattened tens of meters!
The inner energy sphere of Ethereal Summit was destroyed!
The 72 small flags that constructed the array formation were pulled out of the ground and shattered.
Duan Yao who was standing at the entrance of the cave rolled down the cliff. As she rolled down, the strings around her ankles and wrists were rubbed on rocks and broken.
