The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 154: Brother, come with us to assassinate King Ruyang
The forest was in a mess.
Xu Xingchen and Yin Tianzheng looked at each other for a moment, then bowed and said, "Thank you, senior. Please show some mercy!"

Yin Tianzheng looked solemn, staring at the young man not far away for a long while, and then slowly said: "It's not that I'm showing mercy, but your martial arts are so powerful."

"He is so young, yet he has such strength. There are indeed countless geniuses in the world."

Xu Xingchen smiled and continued to express humility.

Although the two did not use their most powerful "Martial Arts Divine Aspects" in the fight just now, they had already performed at their normal level.

From the beginning to the end, Yin Tianzheng was unable to find out the depth of the young man's martial arts skills. He only felt that he was like a fog, weak when facing the weak and strong when facing the strong.

Xu Xingchen also admired the White-browed Eagle King in his heart. He was still strong despite his old age. His internal and external skills were so pure and his Eagle Claw skills were so fierce that he truly deserved the words "unparalleled in the world".

Xie Xun, who was watching the fight from the side, had fought with Xu Xingchen twice before, but today was the first time he saw his body movements with his own eyes. He muttered in his heart, "If I want to deal with that kid's cloud agility, it's better not to watch it with my eyes."

The fight ended with both sides in a draw.

But the three of them all understood one thing: a martial arts veteran and a rising young man, the two sides ended up in a tie, which meant that the young man had the upper hand.
And this advantage will become more and more obvious as time goes by.
The three of them returned to the wooden house and sat down, and Yin Susu once again brought a pot of freshly hot tea.

The following chat was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

It was not easy for Yin Tian to see his grandson, so he was very happy and stayed here for one night.

There are extra empty houses here where he can live.

That night
As the night drew to a close, Yin Tianzheng watched his grandson being slowly sealed in the ice in agony. He felt pity and sorrow in his heart, yet at the same time, he deeply hated the viciousness of the person who had done the deed.

The next morning, the sun rose and the ice melted.

When Xiao Wuji woke up, it was time for Yin Tianzheng to leave.

As the leader of the Sky Eagle Cult, he has many affairs to deal with every day. Being able to stay here for one night has already delayed a lot of things.

Before leaving, Yin Tianzheng hesitated for a moment, and said to Xu Xingchen in a serious tone: "Little brother, after yesterday's detailed discussion, I know that you also have the ambition to drive out the Tartars and restore our country."

"The Yuan Dynasty's military commander, the Prince of Ruyang, Chahan Temur, was brave and skilled in warfare, and well versed in the art of war. He led the Mongolian cavalry to raid the various forces north of the Yangtze River several times, causing them to suffer heavy losses."

"Right now, my Sky Eagle Cult is conspiring with various forces in the north to find a day to sneak into Dadu and assassinate this person."

"I don't know. Little brother, are you interested in going?"

Xu Xingchen was stunned for a moment, thinking: "Prince Ruyang, Zhao Min's biological father. Zhao Min should be about the same age as Xiao Wuji now."

Then he thought again: "The Grand Marshal of the Army is indeed a high-ranking official with great power. Moreover, he is a hero and we are an enemy. If we can really assassinate him, it will have a great impact on the anti-Yuan movement in the world."

"What's more, there are many experts around King Ruyang, whether it's the two Xuanming elders or the masters of the Vajra Sect, they are all worth my going to ask for advice."

Thinking of this, Xu Xingchen nodded and said, "Okay, if you have discussed it, you can let me know at any time!"

Yin Tianzheng clapped his hands, laughed loudly, and said, "Little brother, I was right about you. When the time comes, let's join forces to fight the enemy and eliminate the most powerful opponent in Yuan Meng."

"By then, the anti-Yuan cause will be in full swing!"

After that, he turned to Xie Xun and said, "Brother Xie, please take me out. I also have something to say to you."

Not to mention the return of Xu Xingchen, Yin Susu, and Xiao Wuji.

After Xie Xun and Yin Tianzheng walked a distance away, they stopped.

Xie Xun asked: "Brother Yin, what do you want to tell me? Are you trying to tell me that you agree to my request?!"

Yin Tianzheng glanced at the other party and said in a deep voice: "How can you agree to that kind of request just by saying yes?"

"Brother Xu, you are indeed very skilled and have a broad mind, but if you want to be the leader of my Ming Cult, it won't work with just one or two sentences."

Xie Xun sneered, "Humph! Then why did you invite him to join you in assassinating the Prince of Ruyang in the Yuan court?"

Yin Tianzheng smiled and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you."

"The identity he used to help you fake your death and get out of your shell, although the name sounds majestic and domineering, but he had to wear a mask and couldn't show his face to others. Moreover, he still lacked some righteousness."

"This time, the reason why I invited him to come to Dadu and accompany us to assassinate Prince Ruyang is to let him make up for his lack of righteousness."

"With his martial arts skills, he will surely shine in that battle and shock the world."

"Then I will have an excuse to recommend him to become the leader of my Ming Cult."

Xie Xun laughed loudly twice and said cheerfully: "You, Eagle King, are really foolproof in your work. Brother, I admire you! I admire you!"

Yin Tianzheng said seriously: "Now, there is still one omission, which is about Brother Xu's identity and origin."

"It's best to put his origin in my Ming Cult." "As long as he is a member of my Ming Cult, it will be more logical for him to become the leader, and there won't be too many people opposing him."

Xie Xun said, "This matter is simple. I will ask him directly when I get back. With that boy's character, he will definitely agree."

"In that case, let's discuss this carefully."

The two of them discussed quietly for a while. Just as Yin Tian was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly asked, "Is Xu Xiaoyou's swordsmanship more powerful than his palm skills?"

Xie Xun nodded and said: "Of course, his swordsmanship is amazing and unparalleled in the world."

Yin Tianzheng was silent for a while, then he sighed, "Really, the young are really formidable!"

Xie Xun turned around and went directly to Xu Xingchen's wooden house.

At this time, it was still early and it was not time to take Xiao Wuji to practice, so Xu Xingchen stayed alone in the house, either practicing quietly or studying and thinking.

In the past six months, with the guidance and observation of Xiao Wuji's practice of the Nine Yang Magic Skill, he has gained a lot and can further improve his Yin Yang Yuan Magnetic Magic Skill.
He is doing this these days and will soon succeed!

Benedict! Tuk Tuk!

With the knock on the door, Xu Xingchen woke up from the pile of white papers on the table, got up and walked to the door, opened the door, and saw that it was Xie Xun, so he quickly invited him to come in and sit down.

While Xu Xingchen was looking for a teapot to boil water, Xie Xun glanced at the mountain of papers on the large desk not far away.

Some were bound into books and placed neatly on the side of the table.
There were also some unbound white papers piled up in a mess, covered with scribblings and dense black handwriting.
Xie Xun knew that those books and piles of white paper were all the research handwriting of this young man, which should record the young man's thoughts and descriptions on many martial arts principles.
For half a year, this young man, apart from his own practice, guiding Xiao Wuji, eating and sleeping, spent all his time studying and thinking about martial arts.

Such crazy performance made Xie Xun amazed and feel inferior.

At the same time, he was convinced and thought to himself: "No wonder this kid, at such a young age, has such outstanding martial arts skills. With such a hardworking attitude, no matter what he does, he will achieve great success."

When Xu Xingchen sat down across the table, Xie Xun asked bluntly, "Xu boy, since you have accepted the invitation of the Eagle King, have you ever thought about what identity you will use to participate in the assassination operation?"

Xu Xingchen smiled and said: "It's simple. Whether you use the identity of a righteous man, or the identity of a Mingjiao member, or like before, put on a mask and pretend to be Dongfang Bubai."

“Can all these identities be used?”

Xie Xun thought to himself: "Good boy, he is really smart. I haven't even suggested that he pretend to be a member of the Ming Cult, but he already suggested it."

"When ordinary martial artists encounter such an assassination attempt, they will think that it is a good opportunity to become famous. Even if they die on the spot, they want the world to know their names."

"This kid doesn't seem to care too much about gaining fame in the martial arts world."

"You are so indifferent to fame and fortune, and you know how to adapt. Such a character is really suitable for me to be the leader of the Ming Cult."

Thinking of this, he said, "No need to pretend to be Dongfang Bubai anymore. Xu kid, for this assassination operation, you can pretend to be a member of the Ming Cult, is that ok?"

"Alright!" Xu Xingchen smiled calmly, "As long as the assassination is successful, your Ming Cult will truly become the number one anti-Yuan force in the world."

Xie Xun smiled calmly and said, "Whether it will succeed or not is still unknown."

"Then Prince Ruyang, as the Grand Marshal of the Yuan Mongolian court, must be surrounded and protected by many experts."

"You are attempting to assassinate someone on their territory this time. If you delay, you will be surrounded by a large number of Yuan soldiers."

"When the time comes, with thousands of arrows fired at you, not many of you will be able to survive."

Xu Xingchen sighed and said, "This kind of thing is inherently risky. I hope that by then, all the people with lofty ideals will be able to escape unscathed."

Xie Xun said coldly: "When doing great things, there will be bloodshed and death. If you die on the spot, it can be considered a worthy death."

Then, he added: "Your identity should be regarded as a distant nephew of mine, Xie Xun!"

"If anyone asks, just say that you joined the Ming Cult under my arrangement, but have been practicing martial arts in the mountains and have never come out to the world."

"Now that I have mastered martial arts, and have been invited by the Eagle King, I have participated in the assassination operation."

In the following time, Xie Xun told Xu Xingchen some about the rules and taboos of the Ming Cult, and also told him a lot of his own things, so that Xu Xingchen could answer other people's questions.

It was not until Xie Xun left the cabin and closed the door that Xu Xingchen's face showed a thoughtful look.

"You want me to pretend to be your distant nephew, and also pretend to be invited out of the mountains by the White-browed Eagle King."

"What on earth are you going through all this trouble for?"
