The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 52 Come! Ward off evil spirits in exchange for your Crane Crying in the Ninth Heaven
The bamboos in the bamboo forest fell down in large pieces after the fierce fight between the two men.

Seeing Yu Canghai once again using the "Crane's Lie in the Nine Skies Divine Art", a sword drew a long, sparkling light in the air and stabbed towards him quickly and fiercely. Xu Xingchen tapped his feet and instantly flashed to the side, avoiding the frontal attack.

Then he thrust out a sword, aiming directly at Yu Canghai's waist and ribs.

Yu Canghai's sword light circled, swinging away Xu Xingchen's long sword. His feet stepped on four or five bamboo poles around him. His figure was as fast as the wind and as fast as a crane. He circled and danced, and once again stabbed out a bright, shining, narrow and sharp sword light.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xingchen dodged in time and immediately raised his hand to fight back.

This happened three times, and Xu Xingchen made a strange cackle. "I was right, Sect Leader Yu. Although your Crane's Lie in the Nine Skies magical skill is extremely powerful and unstoppable, every time you draw your sword, you need to gather your energy in advance before you can launch an attack. This way, your movements will not be coherent, and your swordsmanship will have flaws!"

"As long as I hide fast enough, you can't do anything to me!"

After Yu Canghai's sword strikes failed several times, he retracted the sword light, turned over and landed on the top of a half-broken bamboo pole, his face grimly said: "Humph, if it weren't for my Crane's Lie Nine Heavens Divine Art, which was still a little short of perfection, how could there be such an obvious flaw."

"Haha!" Xu Xingchen laughed twice and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Yu, if you don't have any other more powerful martial arts, then be prepared to accept failure!"

"Hmph, arrogant!" Yu Canghai was furious.

The two figures entangled again, and the two sword lights flickered and flickered extremely fiercely, but this time the collision brought about earth-shaking changes.

The long sword in Xu Xingchen's hand changed more and more exquisitely. Every move and every style was like an antelope hanging on a horn, full of unpredictable magical changes.

Yu Canghai's swift and sharp sword light quickly collapsed, so fast that Yu Canghai could not react further, and saw a sword light coming straight towards his chest.

Yu Canghai was shocked and his figure suddenly rose from the ground. He stepped on the bamboo pole and circled in the air gracefully, leaving behind a bright and slender sword light.

Seeing this, Xu Xingchen retreated and moved the sword light following behind to avoid the sharp edge.

After the sharp edge of the sword had passed, he chased after it again, covering Yu Canghai's figure in the swift sword light.

After fighting for some time, Xu Xingchen also realized that, apart from the Crane's Lie Nine Skies magical skill, Yu Canghai's martial arts skills were only comparable to those of his master's wife Ning Zhongze.

As long as he pays attention to dodging the sharp attacks of Heli Jiuxiao Divine Art during the fight, Yu Canghai will not be his opponent!

Xu Xingchen's internal strength has been improving rapidly. After the encirclement and suppression battle with the top ten underworld masters, it has increased again. Now, in terms of internal strength alone, he is not inferior to his master's wife.

As for swordsmanship, there is no need to say more!

His sword skills have always been a magical existence that surpasses his internal strength.
Possessing the charm of swordsmanship, he can defeat the strong with the weak in this world and do what the Dugu Nine Swords can do.

At this time, his internal strength was not inferior to Yu Canghai's. In terms of swordsmanship, except for the Heli Jiuxiao magic skill where he needed to avoid its edge, he was superior in all other aspects.

Unless Yu Canghai suddenly perfected the "Crane's Lie in the Nine Skies Divine Art" and saved the process of gathering strength and energy before making a move, he would not be able to compete with Xu Xingchen on equal terms.

As expected, in the following battles, except for the time when Yu Canghai used the magical skill "Crane's Lie in the Ninth Heaven" to make the masked man avoid his attack, at other times, his swordsmanship always collapsed and fell apart at a speed that made him shudder.

The whole process was a complete defeat, and the defeat was without any suspense!

Ding Ding Ding!
Xu Xingchen swung out three swords in succession, each one faster and stronger than the last. The long sword in Yu Canghai's hand was immediately shaken away, and with a slight "chi" sound, it inserted into a bamboo pole a few feet away and passed through the bamboo.

The tip of the sword pointed at Yu Canghai's throat, and Xu Xingchen said in a muffled voice: "Master Yu, you lose!"

Yu Canghai stared blankly at his empty right hand, then looked up at the sword stuck in the bamboo pole a few feet away. His face was ashen, as if he had lost his parents. The powerful aura on his body quickly faded. After a long while, he came to his senses and said helplessly: "I lost. You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"

"This guy accepted his failure so quickly. His mentality is really strong!" Xu Xingchen secretly admired in his heart, and continued in a hoarse voice: "Master Yu, why should I kill you?! The reason why I came to pay my respects to the mountain and brought the Sword Manual of Exorcism is just to do business with you!"

"Master Yu, do you want to listen?"

Yu Canghai uttered an "oh", stared at the long sword in front of him, and sneered: "When doing business, is it reasonable to have someone point a sword at your neck? Are you planning to force a sale?"

"Ah! I'm so sorry!" Xu Xingchen sheathed his sword, his hoarse voice extremely calm: "I was just thinking that as a martial artist, Master Yu would not sit down calmly and discuss this deal with me if the outcome was not decided by swordsmanship!"

Yu Canghai snorted coldly, and had nothing to say, because what the masked man said was very correct. With his character, how could he exchange something with others fairly if he could just snatch it away? !
This is not a business of going down the mountain to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice, grain and tea.
He walked over and slapped the bamboo pole with his palm. The long sword inserted into the bamboo pole immediately jumped out. Yu Canghai caught it with one hand and then put it back into the scabbard.

Yu Canghai had no intention of running away. Instead, he walked back anxiously. Without waiting for Xu Xingchen to speak, he took the lead and asked, "Is the deal you mentioned related to the Sword Manual of Exorcism?"

Xu Xingchen was stunned by the passion in Yu Canghai's eyes, and then he came back to his senses. He thought to himself, "It seems that the attraction of the Sword Manual of Exorcism to Yu Canghai is far beyond my imagination." "Hey! The secret manual of magical skills that once defeated all opponents in the world is really like that to these martial artists. They are obsessed with it and are extremely eager for it."

The ups and downs of his thoughts did not affect Xu Xingchen's answer: "Yes, I came to pay homage to the mountain with the Sword Manual of Exorcism, and I wanted to use it to do business."

At this point, he paused for a moment and said meaningfully, "I want to exchange for your Songfeng Temple's unique martial arts, the Crane's Lie in the Nine Skies Divine Art. I wonder, Sect Leader Yu, are you willing to exchange?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Canghai's eyes sparkled and he said happily, "Is that true? Are you really willing to exchange?"

Xu Xingchen was stunned again, then nodded and said, "It's genuine, eh! I'm really willing to exchange!"

Yu Canghai was delighted, but also had a bit of doubt on his face: "Have you ever learned the sword technique of exorcising evil spirits?"

"No!" Xu Xingchen shook his head and said, "The requirements for learning the Exorcist Sword Technique are extremely harsh. I am unwilling to pay that price, so I have only read it but never learned it!"

Yu Canghai's face showed even more doubt: "Lin Yuantu once relied on the Exorcism Sword Technique to defeat all opponents in the world. How could you resist not learning his technique?"

Seeing Xu Xingchen nod again, he couldn't help but frown: "It seems that the price of learning the Exorcist Sword Technique is very huge!"

After hesitating for a moment, he asked again, "What is the price to learn the Sword of Exorcism? After paying that price, can I really learn the Sword of Exorcism?"

Xu Xingchen said: "What is the price? We have made a deal, and you can see for yourself when the time comes."

"I can only tell you now that although the price is heavy, once you pay that price, there is a 99% chance that you will be able to learn the Sword of Exorcism, and it will allow you to quickly cultivate to an incredible level in a short period of time."

Yu Canghai's eyes became more eager, and he was ready to make a move, but when he thought that he really couldn't beat the masked man in front of him, he became discouraged.

".Wait here for a while, I will go back to get He Li Jiu Xiao's secret book!"

After hesitating for a long time, Yu Canghai said this and immediately turned around and left in a hurry.

Xu Xingchen looked at the figure in the green cloth Taoist robe that quickly disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest, and couldn't help but think to himself: "I thought that defeating Yu Canghai would require more persuasion before he agreed to the exchange, but I didn't expect that things would go more smoothly than I thought!!!"

Then he couldn't help but think immorally: "Yu Canghai's height is indeed a permanent pain in men's hearts!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, less than 1.5 meters."

His thoughts continued to drift as he reviewed the plan for this mountain visit, which had three purposes.

First, use the Sword Manual of Exorcism to exchange for the Crane's Lie in the Nine Skies Divine Art of Songfeng Temple to increase your knowledge.
Second, after testing the power of the Exorcism Sword on Yu Canghai, he was unwilling to let the people close to him practice this useless thing.

Third, with Yu Canghai's vicious nature, after training, it will inevitably backfire on him. At that time, it will not be "punishing without teaching", but a desperate counterattack, a just self-defense.
In the world of the book, Yu Canghai has done many evil things and made people hate him; but in this world, Yu Canghai has not done such things yet, so he should not kill people in advance for something that has not happened in the future.

This behavior is immoral!
Therefore, in order to make himself feel at ease, Xu Xingchen chose to conduct a sting operation and then launch a just counterattack!
In this way, the goal is achieved and Lin Zhennan's worries are solved, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
As for whether a just trial could be held in the end, Xu Xingchen felt somewhat confident.

Ever since he encountered the siege of the top ten underworld masters and created the "No. 1 Sword of Mount Hua", not only has his internal strength made great strides forward, but his swordsmanship level has also been significantly improved again.

Since then, he finally had the confidence to compete with the "Nine Swords of Dugu"!

As for the Sword of Exorcism
Isn’t this one of the purposes of his coming down the mountain this time?

Besides, how can we do things without taking some risks? !
Yu Canghai's speed of return once again surprised Xu Xingchen.

"Although this place is not far from Songfeng Temple, it takes less than a quarter of an hour."

Looking at Yu Canghai, whose breath was a little disordered, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but shook his head.

"This is the secret manual of the Crane's Lie in the Nine Skies Divine Art in my Songfeng Temple!" Yu Canghai showed the old blue book in his hand and asked impatiently, "Where is the Sword Manual of Exorcism on you? Take it out and let me see it?"

Xu Xingchen did not hesitate, and took out a book from his bosom, raised it in his hand, and explained: "This is the copy I copied from Lin Yuantu's red cassock. I can swear that every word and sentence here has not been changed in any way. It is the authentic Sword Manual of Exorcism!"

Seeing this, Yu Canghai showed some suspicion in his eyes. After hesitating for a while, he barely came up with a solution for both parties to swear an oath to the sky, and then placed the books in their hands in a place where both parties could see them.

The two of them circled their steps, crossed each other's paths, and finally got the martial arts secrets they had been dreaming of.
