The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 173: Nun Miejue, please leave the Sword of Heavenly Protection!
Hearing the coughing sound coming from the side, Hu Qingniu immediately stopped talking, turned to look at the young man approaching, bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Master!"

Xu Xingchen nodded to him, walked up to Nun Miejue, and said calmly, "Nun Miejue, I have heard of your great name for a long time!"

Nun Miejue looked coldly at the young man who suddenly appeared. Her mind was racing with thoughts. She soon understood the other party's identity and asked with a little surprise, "Are you Xu Xingchen, the new leader of the Ming Cult?"

Without waiting for Xu Xingchen's response, his face darkened and he said coldly, "What do you mean by interrupting Hu Qingniu just now?"

"But my disciple was ambushed by you in Butterfly Valley, or did she die in your hands?"

Xu Xingchen shook his head and said, "A few days ago, many disciples from various sects and gangs suddenly came to Butterfly Valley to seek medical treatment. Hu Qingniu has cured all of their injuries and poisons and let them leave. Even the disciples of your Emei Sect have been allowed to leave. How could he secretly harm your disciples?!"

Nun Miejue swept a cold gaze over Hu Qingniu and said expressionlessly, "Hu Qingniu's reputation in the martial arts world is that he will not help anyone who is not a member of the Ming Cult."

"Why is he willing to take action now? Is his reputation fake?"

Xu Xingchen said: "It was this leader who told him to do this. He is a member of the Ming Cult, so he has to obey this leader's orders!"

Nun Miejue stared at the young man in front of her, looking him up and down. Ding Minjun at the side could not help but shouting, "You, the Demon Sect, have brought chaos to the world and committed all kinds of evil. When did you become so kind? This is simply ridiculous!"

Xu Xingchen glanced at the woman and guessed her identity from her harsh appearance and noisy words.

After all, the only person in the Emei Sect who spoke so harshly was Ding Minjun, besides Master Miejue!

Xu Xingchen ignored Ding Minjun's words and said directly to Master Miejue: "Master Miejue, your disciple is really annoying."

Ding Minjun was extremely angry and stared at Xu Xingchen fiercely. Just as she was about to speak, Nun Miejue raised her hand to stop her and sneered, "What my disciple said is absolutely correct. You, the members of the Demon Sect, are to be killed by everyone!"

She hated the Demon Cult so much in her heart that even when she was facing the new leader of the Ming Cult, and even though there were three or four people on the opposite side whose strength she couldn't fathom, her strong temper still allowed her to speak her mind without reservation.

Just like the sword in her hand, she moved forward courageously, without any fear, and without any room for flexibility.

Xie Xun and Yin Tianzheng couldn't help but snort coldly to show their dissatisfaction.

But they also knew that the Ming Cult was too powerful, with a mixed bag of good and bad people, and there were many unworthy people in it, so it could not be said that what Master Miejue said was wrong.

Xu Xingchen had long known that Nun Miejue had a deep prejudice against the Ming Cult. When he heard her say that, he didn't take it seriously and just said, "I don't want to say anything else. I'll just say two things now."

"First of all, your Emei disciple has indeed left Butterfly Valley. As the leader of the Ming Cult, I will not deceive you on this matter."

"As for the second thing." After a pause, he looked meaningfully at the long sword in Nun Miejue's hand, and said slowly: "I know the secret of the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Saber!"

"what?!"

Nun Miejue, who had always been as cold as ice, suddenly changed color for the first time. She clenched the hand holding the Heavenly Sword tightly, and a sharp cold light flashed in her eyes. She stared at the young man in front of her and said word by word: "How did you know the secrets of the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Sabre? Are you trying to trick me?"

Xu Xingchen ignored Nun Miejue's aggressive gaze and turned to Xie Xun and said, "Give me the knife!"

Xie Xun waved his long arms, and the black cloth strip that he had been holding in his arms immediately shot out like lightning and flew towards Xu Xingchen.

Nun Miejue's eyes flashed, and she subconsciously wanted to intercept him, but she forced herself to suppress the impulse in her heart.

If she didn't know that it would be futile even if she took action, she would definitely snatch the sword that she had been coveting for many years.

Xu Xingchen reached out and grabbed the middle of the black cloth, and his true energy burst out.

Swish~~!

With the sound of tearing cloth, the black cloth was torn into countless black butterflies, which danced and flew in all directions, revealing a long sword of ancient style inside.

The sword and the scabbard have smooth lines, forming the shape of a dragon. The pattern on it is exquisite and dark, revealing a sense of low-key luxury.

Although its shape is similar to the Sword of the Heavenly Sword in the hands of Nun Miejue, and they are both swords, our identical decorative styles indicate that they were forged by the same person.

Nun Miejue's eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "It is indeed the Dragon Slaying Sword!"

Her eyes lingered on the Dragon Slaying Sword for a moment before she looked up at the young man in front of her and said slowly in a solemn tone, "I didn't expect that this Dragon Slaying Sword would eventually fall into the hands of your Demon Cult."

"This is God's will. We, the Ming Cult, are destined to be the force that commands the heroes and drives out the Tartars!"

Xu Xingchen spoke loudly, then pressed the retaining spring, and with a clang, he pulled out half of the blade. The back of the blade was thick and the blade was sharp. At first glance, it felt cold and dazzling, and it was extraordinary.

Pointing at an inconspicuous notch on the blade near the handle, Xu Xingchen looked at Nun Miejue: "I guess your Yitian Sword also has this notch, right?!"

"When the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Saber hit each other's gap, their secrets will be revealed." "Master Miejue, am I right?!"

When Master Miejue saw that the young man in front of her actually announced the secret in public, she was anxious and angry for a moment, and her face was so cold that a layer of frost could be scraped off.

If a secret is told in public, can it still be a secret?

In this way, wouldn't the conservative behavior of the three generations of Emei Sect leaders, who had passed it down from generation to generation, become a joke? !

She shouted angrily: "Xu Xingchen, although I don't know where you got this secret from..."

"But if you want to take the Heavenly Sword from me by relying on your numbers, it is absolutely impossible!"

Xu Xingchen knew the character of this Nun Miejue, she was extremely extreme and fierce.
Three years ago, Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang sect and the number one man in the world, personally wrote a letter to Mount Emei, wanting to exchange for the Emei Nine Yang Gong. However, Master Miejue returned the letter intact, which shows how stubborn she was.

Therefore, he never thought of reasoning with Nun Miejue. He just acted tough and said seriously, "Today, I will not rely on my numbers to bully you, but you must hand over the Heavenly Sword!"

"Come on, let's have a fight!"

"As long as you can defeat me, I will not only let you go, but also let you take the Dragon Slaying Sword with you!"

"After all, whether it is the secret in the Heavenly Sword or the secret in the Dragon Slaying Saber, they are not indispensable to me."

Nun Miejue was obviously dissatisfied with the young man's arrogant words, but she also knew that she would not be able to escape from the battle today, so she immediately responded positively: "In this case, let me, the headmaster, experience the skills of you, the leader of the demon sect!"

Having said this, she turned her head and ordered the disciples behind her who were on edge, "Step aside, don't get too close!"

Seeing the tense atmosphere at the scene, Ding Minjun did not dare to get angry or say anything, and obediently retreated to a distance with the other senior and junior sisters.

Xu Xingchen also instructed Xie Xun and the others, "You guys should step aside as well!"

"Yes, Master!" Xie Xun and the others clasped their fists, turned around and stepped aside.

The two men stood in the middle of the field, facing each other, and before they launched an attack, their momentum was already stirring.

Xu Xingchen rarely acts aggressively except when punishing evil, but today is an exception.

"Master Miejue, today, you must leave behind the Heavenly Sword!"

Nun Miejue shouted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, come and fight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure turned into a flash of lightning and instantly appeared three feet in front of Xu Xingchen.

Before the sword was unsheathed, the left palm moved first, and with a bang, the air exploded.

A circle of white ripples spread to a range of one foot and turned into a ring, spinning sharply, shrinking back and wrapping around the palm print that had become square at some point.

The technique that Master Miejue used was the Four Symbols Palm of the Emei School.

The round one on the outside is yang, the square one in the middle is yin; the round and moving one is the sky, the square and still one is the earth; the heaven and earth, yin and yang, square and round, movement and stillness, their wonder and mystery lie in one heart!
The Four Symbols Palm, which was round on the outside and square on the inside, with a charm as steady as the earth yet as agile as the sky, hit Xu Xingchen's chest fiercely.

As soon as the palm print came within a foot, Xu Xingchen felt a tightness in his chest. His body seemed to be fixed in place by the palm print, making him unable to move.

"What a powerful palm technique!"

Xu Xingchen's true energy surged, and he immediately broke free from the restraints of the Four Symbols Palm. He moved his feet and dodged to the side.

Just at this moment, the Four Symbols Palm Seal, which was as steady as the earth, suddenly became extremely agile. It turned in the air and immediately caught up with Xu Xingchen's figure, landing on his chest.

Xu Xingchen raised his palm and struck out in time, colliding with the white palm print which was round on the outside and square on the inside.

Bang!
Amid the sound of gas explosion, the two men retreated at the same time.

The next moment, they collided violently again.

Bang bang bang bang bang!
A series of four-symbol palm prints, which were round on the outside and square on the inside, kept blowing up the air and imprinting the void, forming a strange white cage, trying to imprison Xu Xingchen's figure inside.

The true energy of Emei Nine Yang Gong swirled and danced, connecting with each other, extremely powerful and tenacious!

Xu Xingchen's left palm was surrounded by thick black energy, and with an aura as heavy as a mountain, he slapped out one palm after another, firmly blocking out the white cage that kept falling around him.

The two were conducting preliminary tests, from martial arts moves to the depth of their skills.
Xu Xingchen understood Master Miejue's unyielding temper, and knew that when the test was over and the real battle came, the battle would definitely be more intense than the battle between him and the Purple-Robed Dragon King yesterday!
