The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 466 Look into my eyes: The Soul Transfer Technique!
In the apricot grove, a sword beam with the momentum of destroying a city and capturing a stronghold flashed with multicolored light, and its chilling killing intent was colder than the ice and snow of the coldest winter.

Everyone in the Apricot Grove, whether it was the group of experts from the Western Xia First-Class Hall along with their many subordinates, or the Beggar Clan disciples who had been poisoned by the Sorrowful Breeze and collapsed to the ground and then tied up, felt a chill in their hearts, their minds went blank, and they knew nothing more.

They were not killed by Xu Xingchen's ten-foot-long sword beam that combined the Six Meridians Divine Sword, but their minds were instantly bewitched and suppressed.

One by one, their eyes were blank, and their bodies fell straight down.

The martial artists in this world, due to the increase of that mysterious aura between heaven and earth, have gained a certain degree of power within their internal energy that can resist the influence of the martial arts divine image.

When they face those martial arts techniques, their mental state is not greatly affected. At most, they will be a little frightened and unable to fight freely, but they will not be completely suppressed by their opponents and unable to move.

However, Xu Xingchen's sword beam, which was ten feet long and incorporated the Six Meridians Divine Sword, was far too powerful. Its overwhelming aura swept across the field, leaving everyone present with a blank and empty mind.

Oh, right, there's one person who wasn't affected.

That was Qiao Feng, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect, who was sitting on the ground the whole time.

Qiao Feng was resolute and strong-willed. Even when he encountered someone with higher martial arts skills than himself, he dared to attack them without fear.

Such a person can only be killed by Xu Xingchen's sword light, but will not be frightened or intimidated by the aura of this sword light.

However, he was also feeling unwell.

Already poisoned by the Xixia Yipintang's "Sad Breeze" poison, he was weak all over and his eyes were sore. In this extremely negative state, it was bound to be very difficult for him to resist the power of Xu Xingchen's sword light.

Large beads of sweat were seeping from his forehead, and before he knew it, they covered his entire face.

Mr. Xu had not expected that the sword aura he had suppressed and restrained would be so astonishing; before he had even made a move, it had already cleared all obstacles. He couldn't help but laugh and flicked his right hand to withdraw the sword aura from his palm into his body.

Under Qiao Feng's bewildered gaze, Xu Xingchen stepped forward and began to search the dozen or so experts from the Western Xia First-Class Hall.

They searched all the hidden weapons, darts, gold and silver jewelry, silver notes, and porcelain bottles in their arms and piled them up on the ground.

Then he laid out the porcelain bottles in a row, uncorked them one by one, and smelled the aroma of the elixirs inside.

He was immune to all poisons and was not afraid of the poisonous gases or pills in those porcelain bottles. Even the gentle breeze would only make his nose feel uncomfortable and cause him to sneeze.

When he smelled an extremely unpleasant and pungent odor, he knew that he had found the antidote to the bitter and refreshing breeze.

The porcelain bottle was placed under the nose of a beggar who had fainted nearby for a moment. Although the beggar did not wake up, his body did not change, and his face did not turn blue, red, purple, green, or blue, so it was known that it was probably harmless.

It is both harmless and pungent, so the identity of the antidote for the sour and refreshing breeze is almost certain.

Xu Xingchen turned back and brought the porcelain bottle to Qiao Feng's nose, whose face looked somewhat blank but seemed to understand something: "Smell it, this should be the antidote!"

Qiao Feng felt an extremely unpleasant and pungent odor rush into his nostrils, straight to his head, almost blowing the top of his head off.

The fumes made his eyes sting and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't help but shudder, and then he felt as if some of his strength had returned.

A moment later, Qiao Feng jumped up from the ground, his face grim, and clasped his hands in thanks to Xu Xingchen, saying, "Thank you for your help, Master Xu. In the future, if you need my help, I, Qiao Feng, will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Chief Qiao, ah! No, I mean Qiao Feng, with your words, my efforts this time have not been in vain." Xu Xingchen smiled as he tightened the cap on the porcelain bottle in his hand and tossed it to Qiao Feng: "The rest is up to you. Will you cure your former brothers? Or will you let them be taken away by the people from Xixia Yipintang? It's all up to you."

Qiao Feng gripped the porcelain bottle in his hand, gave Xu Xingchen a deep look, hesitated for a moment, then went to the unconscious Beggar Clan elder on the ground, pulled out the stopper, and placed it under the elder's nose until the elder twitched. Only then did he move on to the nose of a second elder.

While treating the Beggars' Sect elders and disciples for their poisoning, Qiao Feng grabbed a long sword that someone had left behind on the ground. With flashes of light, he cut all the ropes binding the Beggars' Sect disciples.

Xu Xingchen said that she let Qiao Feng make his own decisions and did not stop Qiao Feng from "repaying evil with kindness" now.

However, during Qiao Feng's rescue of the Beggars' Sect disciples, he casually remarked, "Although your Beggars' Sect's Vice Leader Ma Dayuan died from his own ultimate move, the murderer was not Murong Fu, but Ma Dayuan's widow, Kang Min, who conspired with your Beggars' Sect Elder Bai Shijing to kill him."

Qiao Feng paused slightly, then remained silent and continued to detoxify and untie the Beggars' Sect disciples.

Xu Xingchen continued speaking.

"The letter in Ma Dayuan's hand concerning your background was indeed left behind by your master, the previous leader of the Beggars' Sect, Wang Jiantong. Your master feared that you would do evil in the future, so he left that letter as a final means of control."

"Ma Dayuan was an upright man and never intended to use this letter to force you to abdicate; however, he failed to see through his wife's true nature, and Kang Min accidentally saw the contents of the letter. Thus, she forced Ma Dayuan to reveal your true identity." "So, why did Ma Dayuan's wife, Kang Min, harbor resentment towards you, Qiao Feng? It was because Kang Min appeared pure and innocent, but was actually alluring and promiscuous by nature. Her hardships in her youth fostered a strong sense of jealousy, and to achieve her goals, she disregarded human relationships and used any means necessary."

"At a flower festival in Luoyang, Kang Min saw you, Qiao Feng, such a tall and imposing man, for the first time, and her heart trembled; she couldn't help but fall in love with you."

"Who knew that you, Qiao Feng, are such an upright person, that you would never even glance at your own brother's wife, let alone harbor any improper thoughts."

"Seeing your cold and heartless attitude, Kang Min's love turned to hatred, and she vowed to destroy you."

When Xu Xingchen finished speaking, Qiao Feng finally couldn't hold back any longer. He suddenly stood up, turned around with a cold glint in his eyes, and said, "Master Xu, please watch your words and don't slander Vice Chief Ma's widow!"

"Oh, don't you want to know the real cause of Ma Dayuan's death? Don't you want to avenge Ma Dayuan? Do you want Ma Dayuan to die with resentment?" Xu Xingchen asked three questions in a row, leaving Qiao Feng's face turning pale and then red. He then snorted angrily, squatted down again, and continued to detoxify and untie the other Beggar Clan disciples.

Xu Xingchen continued to reveal the secret: "When Kang Min saw the letter about your background from Ma Dayuan, she knew it was time to ruin you."

"She strongly urged Ma Dayuan to expose your background, but Ma Dayuan refused and even reprimanded her for it."

"Kang Min was as ruthless as a snake. When she couldn't persuade Ma Dayuan, she seduced Elder Bai Shijing. The two conspired to kill Ma Dayuan. Then, she gathered her male favorites, Quan Guanqing and Elder Xu, and had the letter forwarded to the other Beggar Clan elders."

"The Beggars' Sect elders were shocked upon seeing the contents of the letter; some, believing in your great loyalty, suggested keeping the matter a secret; however, they couldn't withstand the interference of Quan Guanqing, Bai Shijing, Elder Xu, and others, which led to today's events."

"This is the cause and effect of today's Beggars' Sect gathering in Xingzilin."

After revealing these secrets, Xu Xingchen noticed that although Qiao Feng's expression changed repeatedly and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger, he did not lash out. So she smiled lightly and began to stroll leisurely in the apricot grove.

Soon, he saw some people dressed differently from the Beggars' Sect disciples under several large trees on the outskirts of the battlefield.

One of the beautiful women, aged between thirty and forty, had a plump and full figure like a peach. Even though she was lying on the ground unconscious with her eyes closed, she still exuded a strange charm that combined dignity and maturity.

It is likely that this woman is Kang Min, the widow of Ma Dayuan, a woman with a heart of stone.

She was indeed stunningly beautiful; no wonder she could bewitch Bai Shijing, Quan Guanqing, Elder Xu, and others so much that they committed the heinous act of ambushing and assassinating Ma Dayuan.

There were also some unconscious people nearby, men and women, all around fifty or sixty years old, dressed in normal martial arts attire.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Xu Xingchen guessed that these people should be the survivors who followed the leader to Yanmen Pass to ambush the Liao Kingdom's pilgrimage team more than 30 years ago.

These survivors naturally knew Qiao Feng's true background and origins, so they were invited by Kang Min and the elders of the Beggars' Sect to come and testify.

Now, these people were first knocked to the ground by the Beisu Qingfeng of Xixia Yipintang, and then their minds were swept by Xu Xingchen's ferocious sword force, causing them to completely faint.

the other side.

No matter how fast Qiao Feng could treat them, there were still thousands of Beggar Clan disciples lying on the ground, which would keep him busy for a while.

Half a day later.

Qiao Feng cured all the Beggars' Sect disciples of the poison, cut the ropes binding them, and walked coldly to Xu Xingchen's side, looking at Kang Min on the ground.

After a moment of silence, he asked in a cold voice, "Do you have any evidence to prove what you said earlier?"

Xu Xingchen smiled and said, "How could they possibly leave any concrete evidence for something like this? However, I am proficient in a martial art called the Soul Transfer Technique, which can captivate souls and bewitch minds, making them reveal their most secret thoughts. If you want to know whether what I'm saying is true or false, you can wake this woman up and let her tell you what happened herself."

Qiao Feng glanced at Xu Xingchen, then decisively stepped forward, squatted down, and placed his palm on Kang Min's shoulder to channel his internal energy into her, helping her quickly regulate her disordered qi and awaken her as soon as possible.

However, this woman's martial arts skills were mediocre. She suffered from the double torment of the poisonous aura of Beisu Qingfeng and the sword aura of Xu Xingchen, and was quite unconscious.

After Qiao Feng exerted himself for a long time, Kang Min finally let out a soft moan and opened her eyes in a daze.

Those were beautiful, dignified, yet lifeless eyes.

Clearly, although she had woken up, her mind, which had been haunted by the aura of Xu Xingchen's sword light, had not yet recovered.

Before Qiao Feng could speak, Xu Xingchen stepped forward and whispered to Kang Min, "Look me in the eyes!"
