The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 181 Let’s go! Set off!
The Yuan court was furious and treated Xu Xingchen's Mingjiao forces as their number one enemy. They continuously mobilized troops from all over the country to launch a brutal encirclement and annihilation campaign against them.

However, the power of the Ming Cult is deeply rooted among the lowest level of the people, and its followers can be said to be everywhere. Every encirclement and suppression campaign is known in advance, and the results are predictable.

At present, the number of members of the Ming Cult is not small, but they still lack a large number of weapons and horses. Therefore, when fighting with the Yuan Dynasty’s army, they usually use guerrilla warfare or ambush warfare, and rarely engage in frontal combat.

However, as time goes by, this situation will inevitably be reversed.
Before we knew it, autumn went and winter came, and winter went and spring came.

Xu Xingchen has been staying in the back mountain of Butterfly Valley. Except for one or two hours every day to deal with information from various parties and plan strategies and tactics around the world, the rest of his time is spent on his own martial arts research.

The Dragon Slaying Sword, which had been split into two pieces, had been forged by the sword-forging master into an eight-sided Han sword. It was thicker, heavier, and tougher than the ordinary three-foot-long Qingfeng sword. It was also one foot longer, just like the Yitian Sword.

This four-foot-long eight-sided Han sword inherited the name of the Dragon Slaying Blade and was called the Dragon Slaying Sword!

The scabbard is made of black shark skin, and the pattern on it is a five-clawed golden dragon outlined in gold thread, which exudes a majestic aura in its low-key manner.

With this dragon-slaying sword, Xu Xingchen can finally fully display his true energy to improve his swordsmanship.

In the process of practicing sword, he gradually abandoned all kinds of complicated and wonderful changes. His sword moves became simpler and simpler, and his sword momentum became more and more powerful. In the end, every time he swung the sword, it was accompanied by a strong wind like a tsunami, and the scene was shocking and terrifying.

This is also a version of "no moves are better than moves", but it goes one step further than "no moves are better than moves", and truly reaches the realm of "the heavy sword has no edge" and "great skill is not elaborate".

In addition to the continuous improvement in his swordsmanship, his ability to apply true Qi is also improving.

Because there are two more changes in the true Qi attributes, the previous name is no longer suitable. However, if the two new changes are also added, the name will become too long and complicated.

So, Xu Xingchen simply named it "Yin-Yang Qigong".

Simple and easy to understand, yet comprehensive.

In this way, even if the true Qi undergoes new changes in the future, this name will still be applicable.

There are three kinds of changes in Yin-Yang Qigong, one of which is the general outline of the exercises, and the remaining two are changes in properties. No matter whether it is the force of attraction and repulsion of the original magnetism, or the power of ice and fire that have the same origin of cold and hot, they are all opposite to each other and form an integral whole.

The true Qi formed by these three forces is varied and exquisite.

But there are very few application methods that can really satisfy Xu Xingchen.

Martial arts divine signs like "The First Sword of Mount Hua" or the ultimate changes of sword energy like "Sword Light" are not easy to comprehend.

Xu Xingchen was obsessed with improving his martial arts in the back mountain of Butterfly Valley, but the situation outside was constantly changing because of his thoughts.

Hu Qingniu and Wang Nangu, a couple, had already identified the herbal ingredients of the Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder.

Of the dozens of herbs that make up the Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder, eight out of ten can be found in the Central Plains. Only two of the main ingredients are only available in some remote areas of the Western Regions and are firmly controlled by a certain force.

Therefore, forget about making a poison like the Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder.

One of the main ingredients in the antidote was originally required to be a rare herb grown in the Western Regions, but Hu Qingniu found a substitute herb.

That kind of herb can be found everywhere in the Central Plains in large quantities, and the antidote made from it is much more effective than the original antidote.

Under Xu Xingchen's instructions, Hu Qingniu brought many doctors from the sect and began to produce a large amount of antidote for the Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder.

According to Xu Xingchen, the more antidotes there are, the better!
In addition to Hu Qingniu, the four Dharma Kings were also busy. They were busy with preparations before departure.

Xu Xingchen decided to return to the Mingjiao headquarters, Guangmingding, on September 8 this year.

From southern Anhui to Kunlun Mountain, the journey is tens of thousands of miles, and the various arrangements in between, as well as the people you need to bring before departure
There are so many things to consider and they are so complicated that we must start preparing in the spring and set out in the summer so that we can return to Guangmingding of Kunlun Mountain on the eighth day of September in autumn.

All the major martial arts sects and gangs, as well as the officials and generals of the Yuan court, are always paying attention to the latest developments of the Ming Cult.

Seeing them suddenly become busy, they thought they were going to have a big fight with the Yuan court and became nervous.

Spring is warm and summer is hot.
The passage of time cannot be changed by anyone's will.

On this day, Xu Xingchen was practicing sword in the forest. Every move he made was normal, a slash and a stab, and his movements were steady. There was no whistling sound of sword energy, nor the power to break monuments or split rocks.

However, wherever the sword passes, long white scratches are often left in the air, like the tail of a comet, beautiful and gorgeous.

His swordsmanship has reached the state of returning to the original state, and all external appearances are not revealed! After finishing a set of swordsmanship and sheathing the sword, Xu Xingchen let out a long sigh and exclaimed happily: "Finally, I have completed the improvement of martial arts before the departure."

When he turned to leave, after a while, a mountain breeze suddenly blew past.

At the place where he had just practiced swordsmanship, a huge tree that two people could hug suddenly exploded in the middle of the tree. With a crackling sound, the white core of the tree broke into countless flying wood fibers and sawdust that floated in the air.

The explosion continued upwards, the treetops and branches broke into countless pieces, countless green leaves were shaken into the sky, and then scattered like rain.

The explosion spread downwards, along the roots and deep into the earth. As the ground shook and trembled, streams of tree roots and wood chips continued to spray out from the hole in the tree pit. The scene was extremely mysterious.

When we returned to the wooden house, the four Dharma Kings were already waiting there.

Yin Tianzheng clasped his fists and said, "Master, everything is ready. We can set off early tomorrow morning!"

Xu Xingchen glanced at the four people's solemn and expectant faces, nodded, and said calmly: "Okay, we will set off early tomorrow morning!"

On the morning of the second day, mountain fog filled the forest, rolled down the hillside, and extended to the shore of Nushan Lake, connecting with the thick water vapor on the lake surface.

The sky above Nushan Lake was filled with water vapor, which evaporated and dissipated rapidly under the shining sun that had just emerged from the eastern sky. In less than half an hour, it had evaporated completely, revealing the calm lake surface that reflected the blue sky and a spacious open space by the lake.

At some point, the place was already filled with three thousand Mingjiao disciples wearing white clothes, red belts, and red flame symbols sewn on their cuffs.

Each of them has a strong build, a straight back, bright eyes, and weapons carried behind their backs.

Near the inner circle, there are seventy-two male and female masters wearing red cloaks. Each of them has a condensed aura and their momentum is even more astonishing!
Three thousand good players and seventy-two masters.

These people are basically warriors who have improved through the martial arts of Cangwu Pavilion, and each of them is extremely loyal and respectful to the legendary leader.

They were also selected by the four Dharma Kings to follow the leader back to the headquarters, Guangmingding!
At this moment, they are standing here, waiting for the arrival of the leader.
Everyone was excited and their eyes were shining, like fans at a star-chasing scene, looking forward to the moment when their favorite star would appear on stage.

They didn't know what the mysterious and powerful leader looked like. They only knew that he was very young and naturally intelligent. Whether it was studying or practicing martial arts, he was self-taught. He was like a god from heaven.
Therefore, they were all looking forward to the scene where the leader would appear.

In the center of the venue, there was a carriage pulled by eight horses. The carriage was made of sandalwood and golden nanmu, and was engraved with countless flame patterns. It was gorgeous and exquisite. The space inside was large enough to seat ten people.

White gauze hung on the open windows on all four sides, covering up a quaint chair inside.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King, the White-Browed Eagle King, the Green-Winged Bat King, and the "Golden-Armored Lion King" who replaced the Golden-Haired Lion King.

The four Dharma Kings, wearing cloaks of purple, white, gold and blue, were also dressed solemnly and had solemn expressions. They gathered at the four corners of the carriage and waited quietly for the arrival of the leader together with other believers around them.

When the morning mist on the surface of Nushan Lake dissipated, a long and clear roar like a dragon's roar sounded from the mountains.

Everyone was energized, their eyes lit up, and they looked excitedly in the direction where the long roar came from.

Opposite the shore of Nushan Lake, a drifting cloud was flying and dancing through the mountains and forests, flowing slowly. Its speed seemed not fast, but in just a few blinks of an eye, it had approached a long distance.

The long howl became louder and louder as the misty clouds approached.

Everyone's eyes were fixed without blinking on the misty cloud that was now sweeping across the lake, watching it leave slowly spreading ripples on the calm surface of the lake, watching its otherworldly and ethereal appearance, the excitement in their hearts grew stronger and stronger, an indescribable heat began to accumulate and burn in their chests, waiting for the moment to explode.

In full view of everyone, misty clouds swept across the surface of Nushan Lake and came to the open space by the lake. They passed by everyone without stopping all the way until they reached the vicinity of the carriage in the center.

The misty clouds danced around the carriage, then rose from the ground and rushed to a height of three feet above the carriage.

The clouds rolled away, revealing a figure in white.

Her face was as flawless as white jade, her eyes were as bright as lightning; her figure was tall and straight, and her aura was imposing and outstanding.

He was originally a handsome young man. When he walked on the street on weekdays, people would at most look at him twice. But now, everyone is looking at him with filtered eyes, and they feel that he is indeed extraordinary and different from others.

Just at this moment, two streams of light, one black and one white, appeared around him, circling around him and rapidly slowing down his descent.

When it was only three feet away from the roof of the carriage, it suddenly stopped and miraculously floated in the air.

"Meet the leader!"

The four Dharma Kings were the first to half-kneel on the ground and shouted loudly!
