The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 118: Cliffs, Cable Basket, Fierce Fight

The sky is covered with dark clouds.
There is light shining through the cracks, and between heaven and earth, light and darkness are cut, and light and shadow are intertwined, which is a spectacular sight!
The thousand-foot-high flying ship glides between the bright and dark sky and earth, occasionally entering a fog, looming in the distance.
In full view of everyone, it approached the dense fog surrounding the top of Blackwood Cliff and disappeared into it without stopping.
In the third fortress halfway up the Blackwood Cliff, the man in red stared at the sky for a long time, an expression of uncontrollable amazement on his face, and he couldn't help clapping his hands and saying, "Magnificent! Magnificent! Miracle! Miracle!"

Then, he lowered his head, looked at the young man in the audience, and exclaimed: "Your idea is really wonderful. You can actually think of letting kites take people flying and Kongming lanterns take people to the sky."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, clever, clever!"

Yang Lianting and the others watched the flying ship disappear into the clouds above their heads, and reluctantly withdrew their gazes, but the look of horror on their faces was difficult to dissipate for a while.

Xu Xingchen cupped his hands and said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment. These ideas of mine are just a piece of window paper. After they were pointed out, they were handed over to the talented people under Master Ren to study and develop on their own, which led to the miracle today."

"Originally, our plan was to fly the giant kite to break through the three-layer iron gate fortress; the leaders of the seven major sects and Master Ren and others would take the flying ship and fly directly to the top of the Black Wood Cliff, seize the position of the iron rope basket, and then release the iron rope basket to pick us up."

"I didn't expect that you didn't put away the iron chain basket. You, the leader, are still sitting in the fortress halfway up the mountain."

"This way, the headmaster and the others can save a lot of effort!"

The red-clothed man sneered upon hearing this: "This tactic of yours was indeed beyond my expectations, but your master and his men's move to rush directly to the top of Blackwood Cliff was a big mistake, a ridiculous mistake."

"There are not only the ten great elders of our Sun Moon Sect, but also seventy-two guards holding halberds, and that person."

When it came to the last two words "that person", the man in red did not continue speaking, as if he was extremely afraid of that person!

"Sure enough, the real Dongfang Bubai is on the top of the mountain!" Xu Xingchen muttered to himself, his face gloomy, and then he pulled himself together: "I will catch up now, and I can fight side by side with Master and his wife!"

After saying that, he immediately jumped up and climbed onto the roof of a nearby house.

"Haha, I was originally planning to let you go, but now, I want to keep you here for a while."

The voice of the man in red floats in the air
On the high platform, a red cloud of smoke passed by a nearby guard, and with a clang, it pulled out a long sword from his hand. Then, it flew up diagonally, reached the roof, and blocked Xu Xingchen in front of him.

"When you go up there, you will see the bodies of your master and his wife, as well as the bodies of other leaders, lying on the ground. I'm sure you will feel very painful!"

The voice came from the drifting and scattered red smoke, carrying a strong sense of malice.

Xu Xingchen's eyes became serious, and he said in a cold voice: "You can't stop me anymore!"

The echo was still lingering in the air. Xu Xingchen took a step forward and his figure turned into a misty cloud and flew forward.
The speed seems slow but is actually fast!
In the blink of an eye, it collided with the red smoke!
"what!"

A cry of surprise came from the red smoke.

Two lightning-fast sword lights had already burst out violently between the red smoke and the misty clouds.

Ding ding ding ding
The clanging of metal was as sudden as rain.

Sparks fly and bloom like continuous fireworks!

Red smoke and misty clouds leaped across the rooftop, moving at high speed, yet entangled with each other and moving forward at the same pace.

One moment, he was on the roof, the next moment, he was already on the roof several feet away, and suddenly, he appeared on the ground again.
The sword light that burst out from inside was sharp and swift, and wherever it passed, wooden walls were broken and tiles flew everywhere. Then, with a loud bang, the walls collapsed and the houses collapsed, turning into a dusty ruin.

Red smoke, as swift as a ghost!
Misty clouds, flowing slowly!
The two showed different motion states, but their speeds were strangely similar.
The mixture of fast and slow speeds made the cult members in the playground dizzy and feel nauseous.

After watching for a while, some people could no longer bear it and started to hunch over and retch.

The others immediately became alert and quickly looked away, and the reaction in their stomachs subsided a little.

"Your body skills."

"What's your name for this skill?"

"It's incredible that you can keep up with the speed of this leader!"

The fast-moving red smoke and misty clouds, with the sound of "bang bang bang", demolished walls and destroyed houses, while surprising sounds were heard.

Xu Xingchen drew his sword quickly, the sword light was agile and swift, sometimes the shadow of a phoenix flashed by, and a white rainbow chased the red smoke, which turned into sword lights and fell one after another.
Every move of Huashan swordsmanship has been streamlined to the extreme and performed at an astonishing speed!

Seeing that his speed could really keep up with the changes in the red smoke, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and responded, "This is a new light-weight body movement technique I created, called 'Cloud Escape'."

The red-clothed man couldn't hide his curiosity: "Boy, you bring more and more surprises to this leader."

"How about you just leave Huashan Sect and come to my Sun Moon Sect?" "When the time comes, I will let you be the Left Envoy of the Light."

The misty clouds continued to break through the red smoke and drifted towards the cliff behind. At the same time, Xu Xingchen sneered: "I'm doing well in Huashan Sect. Why did I come to your demon sect that is about to be destroyed?"

The red-clothed man's voice was not tense at all, and even seemed calm and indifferent: "Don't think that you are in a good situation now. Your master, Fang Zheng and others have also reached the top of the cliff."

"But as long as that person makes a move, all of you are nothing but chickens and dogs, and will be vulnerable to a single blow!"

Xu Xingchen became even more anxious and asked tentatively: "With your martial arts, how will you perform against that person?"

The red-clothed man was silent for a long time, and then his voice sounded again: "He has comprehended the spirit of martial arts. I am also vulnerable in front of him!"

"What?" Xu Xingchen was shocked and asked in astonishment, "Is the gap between you really that huge?"

While the two were talking, they had already moved away from the crowd on the playground.

Boom!

Another house collapsed, and countless broken wood flew into the sky. Fragments of rubble splashed and flew, filling the air with billowing dust and smoke, which suddenly split into two, from which a red cloud of smoke and a misty cloud flew out.

When we got here, we were not far from the cliffs.

The red-clothed man sneered and said, "Now that things have come to this, I am not afraid to tell you that I am indeed not the real Dongfang Bubai, but I am indeed the leader of the Sun Moon Sect."

"Ever since Dongfang Bubai practiced the Sunflower Manual, he has become unlike a human being."

"He has lost interest in everything in the world, including sexual desire, power and money, and even the position of leader of the Sun Moon Sect."

"He saw that I looked similar to him, so he asked me to practice the Sunflower Manual and pushed me out to help him control the Sun Moon Sect."

"He himself hid in the hall on the top of the mountain, practicing in seclusion, and rarely saw people."

"Tell me, can a person who has no attachment to the world and no emotional changes like this still be considered a human being?"

After hearing these words, Xu Xingchen felt an even more creepy feeling in his heart.

At this time, red smoke and misty clouds came under the cliff.

The misty clouds once again broke through the obstruction of the red smoke, and swirled up along an iron rope basket hanging from the ground at an astonishing speed!

The red smoke followed closely, also climbing up along the iron rope. Rays of sword light burst out from it, extending rapidly upward along the iron rope, like sword-like poisonous snakes, vying with each other to chase the misty clouds above.

Red smoke and misty clouds surrounded an iron chain, fighting fiercely as they rose.

Sometimes it appears on the descending iron cage nearby, and sometimes it moves to the ascending iron cage on the other side.
Dozens of iron rope baskets moving up and down became the battlefield for the two men.

The misty clouds danced and circled on the cliffs, rising continuously; occasionally, without the assistance of the iron rope basket, a beam of sword light would fall on some tiny protrusions on the stone wall, and change direction with the help of the rebound force.

The red smoke leaped quickly, like a ghost, following closely.
Every time the misty clouds and red smoke approached and intertwined, a fierce sound of metal clashing would erupt between them.

The sharp sword light fell on the stone wall beside it, and a streak of sparks flashed, leaving a clear sword mark.
It fell on the iron cage, leaving gaps the size of a fingernail.
If the two men had not kept moving and fought in one position for a while longer, the thick iron chain would have been cut through by their swords!
After a while, the two followed the iron chain and entered the clouds above their heads.

From time to time, sparks would erupt and the sound of metal clashing could be heard, but the intensity suddenly dropped a lot.

In this harsh environment, they couldn't see each other clearly from several feet away, so they had to be extremely careful every time they moved.

After a while, the two passed through the clouds and mist and came to the sea of clouds.
It’s a pity that there are layers of dark clouds covering the higher places, and the view is also divided into light and dark, with light and shadow intertwined!
Misty clouds and red smoke rushed out of the cliff and landed on the open space at the edge of the cliff.

The terrain here is open, with few houses, but it is filled with huge mechanical wrenches, bearing wheels, and thick and long iron chains, which are intertwined but distributed in an orderly manner.

At this time, the members of the Demon Cult who were responsible for operating the mechanism continued to operate the mechanism obediently.

Beside them stood several people with swords stained in blood. They were none other than the masters under Ren Woxing!
Seeing the red smoke and misty clouds rushing out of the cliff and falling to the ground, those people immediately became extremely nervous. However, a familiar voice came at the right time, which made them feel relieved and secretly surprised at the same time.

"Where did the head of my Huashan Sect and your leader Ren go?"
