The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 538 Heaven
Thunder and lightning flashed and roared.

A black waterspout roared down.

Arrows of starlight pierced through trees, shattered rocks, and kicked up billowing dust.

A white rainbow traversed the forest, shattering everything in its path, invincible in its path.

The four men's ferocious attack instantly shattered everything within a radius of several dozen feet.

Countless flowers, plants, and trees turned to dust in an instant.

Many rocks of varying sizes shattered into countless fragments that flew in all directions.

Gusts of mud shot into the sky, leaving huge craters in the ground.

The area was shrouded in smoke and dust, a scene of utter devastation.

Xu Xingchen's figure appeared and disappeared amidst the billowing dust, flashing and flickering.

It all seemed real, but when those fierce forces touched his body, they would dissipate like bubbles.

The five of them were unable to pinpoint Xu Xingchen's figure or his aura; they could only observe and scan him with their eyes.

As soon as the slightest trace is detected, an attack is launched.

Xu Xingchen's Yin-Yang Qi Gong is absolutely unparalleled in its ability to conceal one's aura.

Even though Wu Yazi and his group of five tried to detect Xu Xingchen's location with their keen senses, it was all in vain.

Suddenly.

A wisp of green mist shot out from the billowing dust, and halfway through its flight, it quickly condensed into a three-zhang-tall green mountain, carrying immense force and trailing a long tail of dust. It slammed heavily towards Xiao Feng in mid-air.

Xiao Feng was on the edge of a cliff. If Xu Xingchen could be forced to move aside, he would be able to escape from the encirclement of the five people.

Therefore, the three-zhang-high green mountain was both a means of attack and a smokescreen, concealing Xu Xingchen's subsequent actions.

Xiao Feng immediately sensed the attack, and his entire body crackled with lightning.

The next moment, it transformed into a bluish-white lightning dragon, drawing a perfect arc in the air, bypassing the fierce impact of the three-zhang green mountain, and instantly arriving behind the three-zhang green mountain.

"Kanglong has regrets!"

Xiao Feng shouted loudly, and his arms circled left and right, and two rings formed by lightning dragons immediately appeared in front of him.

Bluish-white lightning flashed and crackled incessantly.

Two large, thick hands suddenly pushed out from the center of the two lightning dragon-shaped rings.

Amidst the resounding roar of the dragon.

The two golden dragon shadows and the ring formed by the lightning dragon instantly generated a series of complex entanglements, resonances, compressions, and pushing forces.

Then, two abstract, lightning-like golden dragon shadows flashed by in the air ahead.

Then, rings of white air exploded, followed by a deafening roar as the air was blasted apart.

Xu Xingchen, who had just emerged from the billowing dust, saw the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, twice as ferocious, twice as powerful, and twice as domineering, rushing towards him. His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but marvel at Xiao Feng's quick reaction and strong ability to seize the opportunity. He truly deserved to be called the "Battle Saint Body" in Jin Yong's novels.

With a thought, black and white dragon shapes appeared around him, condensing into a magnetic ring that seemed almost tangible.

when! when!
The resounding sound of bells and chimes echoed through the mountains and forests.

The force exploded, sending Xu Xingchen flying diagonally upwards like a shooting star, instantly traveling more than ten feet away.

Xiao Feng, who is proficient in two different versions of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms from two different worlds, seems to have developed something extraordinary in just a few months, enabling him to unleash his power several times over in an instant.

The magnetic ring around Xu Xingchen seemed unable to absorb, transform, or reflect his power in time.

Under the force, it was instead sent flying.

In fact.

Even if Xu Xingchen's Yuan Magnetic Ring couldn't absorb and rebound the two golden light dragons, it shouldn't have sent him flying this far away in an instant.

This was merely a tactic Xu Xingchen used to escape.

Seeing this, the other four kept shouting.

"We'll chase them."

"Chase after them"

"We cannot allow him to divide and conquer us."

"Please maintain social distancing and cooperate with each other."

Five figures used their respective abilities to soar into the sky, chasing after Xu Xingchen above.

The white energy beneath Xu Xingchen's feet surged and rolled like boiling water, its violent movement carrying Xu Xingchen forward like a gust of wind.

Wu Yazi and his five companions chased after them from several feet away, swinging their arms and unleashing a series of fierce and violent attacks.

Rumble.

Lightning flashed, and a dragon's roar echoed.

Wherever it passed, flowers, trees, and even rocks and cliffs crumbled and fell apart, reflecting the surrounding scenery in a strange and astonishing way.

A white rainbow, chasing the wind and the moon, pierces through the void, seemingly unstoppable by anything.

The Tianshan Six Yang Palms, swirling and dancing like white plum blossoms, rained down, striking the trees, rocks, cliffs, and ground along the way with a thunderous roar.

Wu Yazi's figure completely merged into the black waterspout, like a black divine dragon, winding and dancing in pursuit.

The seven stars in front of Murong Fu spun so fast that they were like streaks of afterimages, completely engulfing his body.

He was like a huge and dazzling meteor, trailing a long comet tail, shooting straight forward.

It hurtled past flying logs and rocks, cutting through billowing dust and creating powerful, swirling eddies.

However.
The five of them chased after the figure ahead with all their might, launching fierce attacks in an attempt to stop Xu Xingchen from escaping.

But Xu Xingchen's movements were equally agile, constantly dodging the fierce attacks coming from behind.

If you can dodge, then dodge; if you can't dodge, then block.

They never managed to catch up with the five men.

In the eyes of the martial arts practitioners on the surrounding mountains.

The six figures raced around the majestic mountains, through forests, cliffs, precipices, and waterfalls, their speed unbelievably fast.

Wherever you go.

The dense forest, like a young man's hair, was forcefully sculpted into a long furrow by clippers.

Along that bald-like path, one large tree after another fell and cracked, countless wood chips flew everywhere, and broken branches and leaves rushed in all directions.

Along the way, rocks of varying sizes were blasted into countless flying fragments, tracing long arcs and scattering to great distances.

A waterfall, resembling a white dragon hanging upside down, was immediately cut in half after the six people passed by.

Large amounts of water splashed and sprayed in all directions, instantly evaporating into vast expanses of white mist that enveloped a large area.

Six figures flew and roamed around the majestic mountain, frequently making moves as they chased each other.

The powerful martial arts techniques erupted one after another, causing the martial arts practitioners on the surrounding mountains to tremble with fear.

but.

Others had solemn expressions and shifty eyes.

Some people were greatly encouraged and cheered with joy.

The people with solemn gazes were Kumārajīva, Duan Zhengchun, Duan Yanqing, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, the leaders of various sects in the martial arts world, members of the Western Xia First-Class Hall, martial arts figures from the Liao Kingdom, or renowned masters.
These people are all renowned figures in the martial arts world, and their martial arts skills are extraordinary. In fact, some of them have even cultivated to the Heavenly Realm.

Therefore, they gained a deeper understanding and more thorough insight into the chase and fight between the six people on that towering mountain.

Other martial arts practitioners merely watched a battle that left them speechless and deeply awestruck. At most, afterward, they might give the six fighters a thumbs-up and sincerely praise them, saying, "They are truly divine figures."

Only true masters can discern the true extent of the martial arts skills of these six individuals from their battle.

It was precisely because they saw it so clearly that their fear intensified.

The remaining group of people, who were in high spirits and overjoyed, were all martial arts practitioners who had close relationships with one of the six.

For example: the four great generals of the Murong family, and A'Zhu, A'Bi, Wang Yuyan, and seven others.

They watched with bated breath and surging excitement, while also worrying constantly about their young master falling into a disadvantageous position.

Azhu and Abi stood on either side of Wang Yuyan, their four little hands tightly gripping Wang Yuyan's sleeves, watching the battle while chattering away and asking questions.

"Miss, look! Young Master has been smashed into the cliff face!"

"Miss, is the young master alright?"

"Miss, Master Xu dodged all of Young Master's attacks."

"Miss, do you think the young master and his men will be able to catch up with Master Xu?"

"."

Wang Yuyan's head was throbbing from the two chattering voices beside her, but her eyes remained fixed on the figures on the battlefield ahead, responding to Azhu and Abi's questions from time to time.

"My cousin is the weakest in martial arts among those six, so we must be careful."

"However, my cousin's family's 'Star Shifting Technique' makes him invincible."

"At least we won't be easily defeated by Master Xu!"

"Master Xu's martial arts skills are even more impressive than I imagined. Dodging my cousin's attacks is a very common thing for him."

"If my cousin and the others continue chasing Master Xu like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up."

"Unless... one or two of my cousins ​​manage to take a detour and block Master Xu's path."

As soon as Wang Yuyan finished speaking, she saw two figures separate from the several figures chasing each other halfway up the towering mountain ahead.

The two figures changed direction and went up the mountain.

Judging from the direction they were heading, it was clear that, just as Wang Yuyan had analyzed, they were preparing to run ahead and block Xu Xingchen's path.

As Xu Xingchen flew ahead, he was caught off guard by the barrage of attacks from several people behind him. He was so caught up in the chaos that he didn't even realize that two of the pursuers behind him had disappeared.

Fly for a while longer.

Suddenly, a huge rock shot out from a forest ahead and crashed towards Xu Xingchen.

Its speed and momentum were so great that it resembled a giant stone projectile launched by a catapult used in a siege.

Xu Xingchen raised an eyebrow, unable to dodge in time, and took a detour. He struck out with his palm, instantly shattering the boulder into pieces, sending fragments flying everywhere.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
One after another, huge rocks burst out of the forest and hurtled towards them.

bang bang bang
Xu Xingchen smashed all the flying rocks to pieces with his fists and palms.

However, this inevitably slowed him down a bit.

Behind them, the three carefree elders, who were in hot pursuit, immediately closed in.

A white streak tore through the air and arrived suddenly, aiming once again at Xu Xingchen's waist and legs, intending to bind and drag him again.

Xu Xingchen flicked his right hand, and a magnetic ring surrounded by black and white dragon patterns shot out, gently tapping the approaching white rainbow.

Like striking a snake at its vital spot.

The astonishingly fast white rainbow suddenly stopped, then began to dance wildly, like a dying snake struggling.

In this way, let alone continuing to pursue Xu Xingchen, it would be difficult to even maintain one's own form.

When Li Qiushui flew up to the white rainbow, the wildly dancing white rainbow exploded with a bang and disappeared in a gust of wind.

"How is this possible?" Li Qiushui was shocked. While continuing to fly, she thought to herself, "That kid's attack just now was clearly not strong, so how was it able to disperse my attack?"

"It's as if he targeted the only weakness in my power."

Li Qiushui was completely baffled, unaware that Xu Xingchen had just used the "Qi-Breaking Style" from the Dugu Nine Swords.

However, the Dugu Nine Swords is a set of sword techniques, used with a sword, while Xu Xingchen has now integrated its techniques and concepts into his Yuan Magnetic Ring.

It is evident that Xu Xingchen's martial arts skills have long transcended the limitations of mere techniques, reaching beyond the realm of skill to the essence of Tao.

A thousand changes, but all lies in the mind!
In front.

A flash of lightning and a deafening dragon's roar erupted from the forest where several giant rocks flew out.

A bluish-white lightning dragon instantly traversed several meters and arrived in front of Xu Xingchen.

Click!
Then came a thunderous sound that shook the air and bombarded Xu Xingchen's eardrums.

Xu Xingchen stretched out his right arm, his five fingers loosely clenched, and a three-zhang sword beam shot out from his tiger's mouth, flashing with an incomparably cold light, instantly colliding with the lightning dragon that came in front of him more than ten times.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
The intense clanging of metal echoed through the mountains and forests, and huge, dazzling sparks exploded one after another like fireworks on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

"Ouch~~~!"

Amidst a deafening dragon's roar.

The pale blue lightning dragon shimmered with golden light and quickly transformed into a golden lightning dragon with more restrained and concentrated power.

An immense and unparalleled force erupted, attempting to send Xu Xingchen flying.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xingchen suddenly raised his left hand and immediately sent out a magnetic ring surrounded by black and white dragon shadows.

One rise, one fall.

It just barely slipped around the neck of that golden light dragon.

Then, he darted to the side and pulled and dragged backward with all his might with his left arm.

The golden light dragon, which was temporarily "controlled", flashed past Xu Xingchen and crashed hard into the black water tornado that was rolling and overturning behind him.

Boom!

Two incredibly powerful forces exploded, and a gust of wind mixed with golden lightning within a circle of black water waves rushed in all directions.

Just at this time.

Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui arrived at the same time.

One person unleashed a series of Tianshan Six Yang Palms that spun like plum blossoms.

One person transformed into a white rainbow and came to an abrupt halt.

The three-zhang sword light in Xu Xingchen's right hand flashed in the air more than a dozen times, which would surely shatter all the rain-like Tianshan Six Yang Palms.

With his left hand, he threw out another spinning magnetic ring, which hurtled towards the white rainbow that Li Qiushui had transformed into, like a storm.

A white rainbow, twisting and turning as if on cue, soaring up and down, changing position more than ten times in succession as it rushed towards us, incredibly agile.

But every change and every turning point in her life seemed to be blocked by the oncoming magnetic ring.

With her brows furrowed, Li Qiushui could only engage in a fierce, head-on collision with the Yuan Magnetic Ring.

This collision, which was beyond her control, made her feel very awkward and uncomfortable.

The magnetic ring that Xu Xingchen unleashed, distracted by other matters, was not as powerful as Li Qiushui's.

However, in the constant collisions with her, this magnetic ring continuously devoured and deflected her power, and each time the magnetic ring attacked, it coincidentally struck the weak points in her attack route.

Although those flaws were fleeting, they forced Li Qiushui to constantly change her position.
