The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 162: Become famous, and then... explode!

In a house as cold as an ice cellar
A layer of icy white frost with tiny pits covered the furniture, floors, beams and pillars, turning this place into a pale and lonely little world.

The snowman ice sculpture sitting next to the table looks like a fine work of art, or like a lonely onlooker, sitting quietly and silently in this world of ice and snow.

Until a certain moment comes
A fiery red glow shone through the interior of the ice sculpture, bringing a hint of warmth.

After a while, the outermost layer of white frost on the ice sculpture snowman turned into crystal clear water droplets, which blended with each other and gathered into small streams, dripping down along the uneven curves, forming a pool of clear water on the ground.

As the red light grew brighter and the warm breath became more obvious, the momentum of the frost melting into water was like turning on a faucet, showing the joy and heroism of a hundred boats competing in the current on the ice sculptures.

When all the frost melted, revealing Xu Xingchen's figure, he looked like a crab cooked in a big iron pot. Not only was his skin red, but it was also emitting hot steam.

Breathe in
Breathe in
There were two streams of red air coming out of his nostrils, like snakes breathing in and out.
boom!
Suddenly, a fiery red aura rose up, wrapping Xu Xingchen's whole body in a burning "flame". Even his black hair broke free from the restraints of the belt and flew upwards, each strand and every wisp was covered with a layer of light and gorgeous red light.

Under the reflection of this red breath like a blazing fire, all the white frost in the house was rapidly melting into water, dripping and flowing to the ground, and then in the continuous high temperature, it evaporated and turned into a misty and rolling white water mist.
The mist was quickly burned away and disappeared, revealing Xu Xingchen's figure again.

Just at this moment, his eyes opened, and his pupils were dancing with red flames, from which a needle-tip-sized bit of white light spread out, and then quickly spread in all directions, transforming the red flames into two snow-white ice flames.

The layer of flames that enveloped the body changed accordingly, from fiery red to snow-white.

Xu Xingchen's body was safe and sound in the blazing white ice flames, but the surrounding furniture, walls, beams and other things were once again in trouble.

A biting cold air spread, covering it with a layer of white frost again.

The flames around Xu Xingchen changed from fiery red to snow-white, and then from snow-white to fiery red. After several cycles, the whole room was charred like charcoal, and then covered with frost. The image was so miserable, as if it had been completely destroyed.
When he became almost familiar with the conversion between the icy true qi and the fiery true qi, he retracted the true qi and returned it to the qi sea.

At this point, Xu Xingchen not only eliminated the Xuanming Qi in his body and healed his injuries, but also realized his own power of ice and fire.

This is yet another upgrade of the Yin-Yang Yuanci Magic Art, and the extent of the improvement is unprecedented. It can be said that it has fundamentally changed some of the attributes of this magic art.

Now it’s a bit inappropriate to call it by its original name!

Xu Xingchen couldn't think of a new name for a while, so he gave up for the time being.

As if sensing the change in the atmosphere in the room, Yin Tianzheng quickly pushed the door open. Seeing that Xu Xingchen was fine, he felt relieved. However, when he saw other changes in the room, he was shocked again. He felt that the young man in front of him was becoming increasingly difficult for him to understand.

The two men sat down in another room and finally had the energy to talk about the assassination attempt three days ago.

Yin Tianzheng's left shoulder was tightly wrapped in white cloth. His originally strong and sturdy arm was now as soft as a boneless noodle.

Xu Xingchen poured two cups of tea from a small red clay teapot, and brought one of them to the tough guy opposite him. He asked with concern, "Uncle Yin, how is your injury?"

Yin Tianzheng grabbed the teacup with his right hand and drank it in one gulp, his movements as heroic as if he was drinking wine.

"The bones are broken and the meridians are severed. This arm is temporarily useless, but it doesn't matter. When we return to Butterfly Valley, I will let Doctor Hu treat it. It should be able to recover."

"How's your injury?"

Xu Xingchen said calmly: "As long as the cold poison of the Mysterious Nether Palm is forced out, my injuries will be fine."

"Did you find out who leaked the secrets in this assassination operation?"

Hearing this question, Yin Tianzheng's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a rice field: "There are too many people who know about our assassination plan, and they are too diverse. It is impossible to find out who they are."

Xu Xingchen, on the other hand, was calm. As early as when he first arrived in Dadu and heard the plan from Yin Tianzheng, he had no hope for this assassination.

Assassination is a secret matter that cannot be known to outsiders. Although you did not publicize it with weapons and firearms all over the world, there are many people with different opinions, and there are heroes from various rebel armies, so the confidentiality must not be very good.

What's more, you haven't even figured out which experts are around Prince Ruyang, which has caused the success rate of this assassination operation to drop again and again.

The fact that they were not caught in one fell swoop by King Ruyang and so many of them were able to escape was already a very good result.

Yin Tianzheng frowned and said helplessly: "We didn't expect that there would be so many top masters around King Ruyang."

"After this failure, I'm afraid I won't be able to find another chance to assassinate Prince Ruyang in the future."

"The most terrible thing is that the various rebel armies north of the Yangtze River will definitely face a massive counterattack and liquidation." "By then, we don't know how many rebel armies will be dispersed or killed."

Xu Xingchen drank tea while listening to the various news that Yin Tianzheng said. After a while, he said, "The northern rebels are best to shrink their sphere of influence and form alliances to help each other, so that they have a chance to escape this stranglehold."

Yin Tianzheng shook his head and said: "Those rebel armies have already joined forces, but King Ruyang is proficient in strategy, and his son Wang Baobao is also brave and good at fighting, and is skilled in using troops."

"With these two around, the various rebel armies in the north were often beaten by them and fled everywhere, becoming completely defeated."

When Xu Xingchen heard the name "Wang Baobao", he remembered that this person was a real figure in history. He was brave and good at fighting, and had great achievements. He was one of the most famous generals in the late Yuan Dynasty.

In the book world, this person is Zhao Min's brother, but he is not mentioned much. But in fact, he is a more powerful person than his sister.
Now that Xu Xingchen has come to this world, when considering things, he can no longer just consider the factor of Prince Ruyang's daughter, but also needs to include Prince Ruyang and Wang Baobao.

Then the two talked about other things, including the black-robed monks who used the Shaolin Vajra Palm and Shaolin Vajra Finger.

After the heroes from the north retreated, they thought about it and realized that those monks in black must be from the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions.

There have been rumors about them in the martial arts world for a long time, and now it has just been confirmed.

Finally, the number of casualties mentioned this time
The entire assassination process was very short, but the two black-robed monks were too terrifying. In a short period of time, they killed nearly half of the people, and their attacks were so cruel that no one survived.

Over the next few days, the Yuan soldiers continued to send people to search for the assassin's whereabouts, and posted portraits of White-browed Eagle King and Xu Xingchen at the gates of major cities, issuing arrest warrants for both of them.

Those northern heroes hid in the basements of several houses, but were unexpectedly found out.

After more than ten days, the situation in Dadu began to ease, and everyone immediately disguised themselves and left Dadu.

White-browed Eagle King and Xu Xingchen were no exception. They also walked out of the city gate easily and left.

With the return of the heroes of the northern rebel forces, the reputation and martial arts characteristics of the four top masters around King Ruyang began to spread throughout the world.

There was an uproar in the martial arts community.
Many people were shocked to find that the martial arts characteristics left by the murderers in some of the murder cases that had caused the major sects to suspect each other were very consistent with the martial arts of the four top masters.
All martial artists in the world know exactly what this means.

The Yuan Mongolian court has been secretly stirring up feuds between the major sects and gangs, causing them to kill each other, suspect each other, and live in restlessness!

If this kind of thing happened in a normal martial arts fight, it would definitely arouse public outrage and cause everyone to fight against it together.

But facing the behemoth that ruled the entire world, even though many martial artists were resentful, they did not dare to go to Dadu to cause trouble for King Ruyang.

Haven't you seen that even the top martial arts masters, such as the White-browed Eagle King, the leader of the Sky Eagle Sect, who personally took action, were defeated?
How could anyone dare to take the head of King Ruyang under the siege of four top masters? !

Therefore, all the martial artists were just "angry" for a while, and after that, they did not take any other action except being more vigilant.

At the same time, another piece of news spread in the martial arts world.

On the day when the assassination of King Ruyang took place on the street, there was a young man among the heroes who, at a young age, had already mastered the unique sword skill "Sword Light" in the martial arts world. He successfully escaped from the siege of the two Xuanming elders.
His martial arts skills have reached the pinnacle!

He is a man of courage and courage, and full of heroic spirit!

Most importantly, this person has an extraordinary origin. He is one of the four great Dharma Kings of the Ming Cult and the distant nephew of Xie Xun, the Golden Lion King who has been "dead" for three years.
Rumor has it that when the Golden Lion King used to drink and chat with the White-browed Eagle King, he often praised his nephew, calling him a rare martial arts prodigy in the world, and held an initiation ceremony for his nephew when he was very young, making him a member of the Ming Cult.
However, the nephew had been hiding in the mountains to practice martial arts and had never appeared in the world. Now that his martial arts skills have been perfected, he was invited by the White-browed Eagle King to come out of the mountains and participate in the assassination operation.
If this boy hadn't appeared, none of the northern heroes who participated in the assassination plan, including the White-browed Eagle King, would have been able to escape.
In addition, there are some stories about the deep friendship between the uncle and nephew of the Golden Lion King, which are told vividly and seriously.

With the deliberate propaganda of the Sky Eagle Cult members, news about Xu Xingchen was everywhere.

True and false, false and true, it caused countless people in the martial arts world to talk about it and marvel at it.

Every time I get together and drink, I can't help but mention that young man's name and make wild guesses.

But in the end, it was just a topic of conversation after dinner.

until one day.
Suddenly, a shocking piece of news came out in the martial arts world, completely detonating the public opinion!

"The leader of the Sky Eagle Cult, the White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng, respects Xu Xingchen as the leader of the Ming Cult."
