The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 276 It’s Time to Return to Central Plains

The battle has now been fought and the outcome has been decided.

Mei Chaofeng was seriously injured and no longer had the strength to continue fighting.

The internal strength in her body was not even enough to support her to maintain her transformation form after breaking through the realm three times.

The bones that made up the armor on his body were shattered into smaller powders, like quicksand in an hourglass, floating in the air.

Xu Xingchen stood aside, watching this scene quietly, thinking to himself: "As expected, after the broken mirror has transformed three times, the internal force will be connected with the power of heaven and earth, thus prolonging the transformation time. Otherwise, it is impossible for a martial artist to maintain such a long time with his own internal force."

"However, when the transformation is over, this person's internal energy will be greatly depleted, and it will take a long time to recover."

When all the bone armors were shattered into powder and dissipated into the air, there was no longer a piece of armor covering Mei Chaofeng.

The pupils in her eyes returned to normal, her hair and eyebrows turned back to black, and even the pale sheen on her skin faded away.

She shielded her chest with her arms. Even though she was weak and shaky, Mei Chaofeng still stared at Xu Xingchen with hatred and said with difficulty: "I didn't expect that even if I became a master who broke through the realm three times, I would still not be your opponent."

"Now, I don't have the strength to fight you anymore."

"Go ahead! Kill me so that I can be reunited with the thief in the underground."

Xu Xingchen, whose figure was as tall as a mountain, shook his head and said, "I've said before, as long as you can survive, I'll spare your life this time!"

"Why did you say that?" Mei Chaofeng was obviously knocked unconscious by the stone, and didn't hear what Xu Xingchen said at all. She looked incredulous. Seeing Xu Xingchen's serious expression, she couldn't help but sneered again: "You know, even if you let me go this time, in the future, as long as my martial arts skills improve, I will still come to seek revenge on you."

Xu Xingchen said "Oh" casually: "Next time, when you come to me for revenge, I will not show mercy!"

Mei Chaofeng stared at Xu Xingchen's eyes for a long time, and it seemed that he was not joking. She couldn't help but laugh at herself, turned around and staggered out.

He walked to the entrance of the cave, bent his knees, squatted, and leaped forward with all his might. His slender figure bounced and leaped a few times in the distance and quickly disappeared behind the rocks not far away.

After running a few miles, the remaining internal energy that he had forcibly gathered suddenly dissipated.

Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, rolling and sliding three meters away.

He lay on the ground gasping for a long time before he slowly got up and moved his body under a big tree nearby. He supported his upper body with difficulty, leaned his back against the tree, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to concentrate.

One night passed
Mei Chaofeng could only barely stabilize the light of life that was like a candle in the wind, but her serious injuries had not recovered at all.

The sun rises in the east, and the sky and the earth become bright.

Three shepherds carried axes and went into the mountains to cut wood.

When they saw a beautiful naked woman under the big tree, their eyes lit up and they came over with some unspeakable impulse.

Just at this moment, the beautiful woman slowly opened her eyes and gave them a charming and seductive smile of joy.

Then, a shrill scream pierced the sky.

"Ah~~~~!"

"There is a ghost"

"Don't kill me.Ah."

……

in the cave.

Watching Mei Chaofeng's back disappear into the distance, Xu Xingchen's body quickly shrank amid crackling sounds, returning to its original size.

All the wounds on his body that were torn by the Nine Yin White Bone Claws have healed.

Except for the five finger holes on the back where there were still some scars, there was no trace of any scars on the rest of the body.

Looking down at his naked upper body and his lower body with the lower half of his trouser legs blown off, he couldn't help but let out a bitter smile: "Every battle takes too much clothes. It seems that I need to prepare a few more sets of clothes when I go out!"

Outside, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan saw Mei Chaofeng leaving, and then they dared to come in.

"Mr. Xu, you are fine!"

"I saw Mei Chaofeng staggering, she must be seriously injured. Mr. Xu, how are you?"

"Mr. Xu"

Several people came over to ask questions, expressing their concern, but at the same time they tacitly agreed not to mention the fact that Mei Chao was naked.

Xu Xingchen waved his hand: "Of course I'm fine. Mei Chaofeng is no match for me."

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan had been pressed to the ground by the momentum of the two men, and were only focused on resisting the influence of their mental power, and also did not pay attention to what Xu Xingchen said.

Therefore, they did not know that Mei Chaofeng was let go by Xu Xingchen on his own initiative, and they all spoke up to comfort her.

"Master Xu, don't worry about Mei Chaofeng's escape. I don't think she will dare to come back in the short term."

"That's right, if Master Xu can defeat her the first time, he can defeat her the second time." Someone also raised doubts: "Mei Chaofeng's martial arts progress is too fast. When we meet again next time, we don't know to what level her martial arts will progress. We must not be careless!"

"I will be careful, you don't have to worry." Xu Xingchen responded with a smile, thinking to himself: "The reason why I let Mei Chaofeng go is because I feel that this girl is gifted. Without the Nine Yin Manual's internal power chapter, she has actually cultivated the Nine Yin Divine Claws into the sinister and strange Nine Yin Bone Claws, and can also further comprehend the martial arts and enter the realm of breakthrough three times."

"Her understanding, or luck, is not simple."

"I am really looking forward to seeing how much she can improve the power of the Nine Yin Bone Claw when we meet next time."

The fierce battle once again destroyed the entire cave, with spider web cracks, collapsed potholes, and large and small pieces of rubble everywhere.

Even the large stone bed was destroyed by his own hands.
In desperation, Xu Xingchen had to go to the cave of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and spend the night there.

Early the next morning, he used the Dragon Slaying Sword to create a new cave on the wall of a nearby mountain.

A wide stone bed was also cut out inside, leaving a wide, flat stone wall opposite the stone bed.

This time, he did not hesitate at all and left two lines of ordinary but profound words on it.

"The Jianghu is not about fighting and killing!"

"The Jianghu is about human relationships and worldly wisdom!"

Looking at the two rows of flamboyant handwriting on it, Xu Xingchen sheathed his sword and nodded with satisfaction.

In the following days, life returned to its previous peace.

Guo Jing would come here every morning and, under the instruction of several masters, practice martial arts, learn literature, shoot bows and arrows, or ride horses.

Every day's classes are fully scheduled and I can't go home until the evening.

This is the reasonable study time that Xu Xingchen has given to Guo Jing, and he will never allow Guo Jing to waste his time.

Because of such intense and hard study, Guo Jing and Temujin's daughter Huazheng and son Tolui had no time to play.

The relationship between the three people is limited to acquaintance; other than that, there is no deeper friendship.

This was also the result of Xu Xingchen's deliberate arrangement, so as to avoid any trouble when Guo Jing and Temujin had a conflict in the future.

After experiencing a breakthrough, Guo Jing's strength was greatly improved, but his attitude of hard work did not change, and he continued to study under Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen also taught Guo Jing the subsequent contents of the revised Nine Yang Divine Art.

Time flies, and the years fly by.

One day one year later.
Han Baoju, the third of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, took Guo Jing to the grassland to chase a herd of wild horses and captured a little red horse.

After confirmation by Han Baoju, it was found that the little red horse captured by Guo Jing himself was actually an extremely rare Arabian horse.

This made Han Baoju very excited, and he came back and chatted with the others for a long time.

Xu Xingchen looked at Guo Jing who was communicating with the little red horse, and then looked at the little red horse that had not grown up yet, and smiled secretly in his heart: "Okay, the carriage for Huang Rong has arrived, and the rest is gold"

Life goes on, practice goes on.

Seeing that their disciple Guo Jing was about to turn 18, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan all became excited.

In front of Xu Xingchen and Guo Jing, the martial arts competition at Zuixianlou in Jiaxing was mentioned more and more often.

Although the distance between the first breakthrough and the second breakthrough is not as far-fetched as the distance between the second breakthrough and the third breakthrough, it is not something that Guo Jing can achieve in just two years.

However, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were very satisfied with Guo Jing's current martial arts skills, and they felt that they would not lose to Qiu Chuji in this martial arts competition.

At the same time, under the instruction of Xu Xingchen, they began to do ideological work on Guo Jing's mother Li Ping.

At that time, let Li Ping return to the Central Plains with Guo Jing.
Li Ping had lived in the desert for eighteen years and had long been accustomed to everything here. She had always had some doubts in her heart about whether to follow her son back to the Central Plains.

As a mother, she was somewhat worried that her identity as a "wanted criminal of the Song Dynasty" would bring some unnecessary trouble to her son.
The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan actually had this worry in their hearts.
But Xu Xingchen scoffed and said bluntly: "If the Song Dynasty government dares to continue to embarrass Guo Jing and his mother, I, as their master, will definitely have a good talk with those officials."

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan had low martial arts skills, and they still had some awe for the Song Dynasty court.

Xu Xingchen is different. He used to be the leader of the Ming Cult, and his martial arts are extraordinary. He will not be blinded by the filter of the Song Dynasty court at all.

Things took a turn for the worse when Guo Jing was about to turn 18.

One morning, before daybreak, the sound of hurried horse hooves had already broken the tranquility of the desolate mountain valley.

When Xu Xingchen and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan came out of the cave, they saw Guo Jing riding a little red horse and coming with his mother.

Han Xiaoying saw the panic on Guo Jing and his mother's faces and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Jing'er, what happened? Why did you and your son come here at this time?"

Guo Jing jumped off the horse, and immediately helped his staggering mother down. He clasped his fists and said to the others, "Masters, our tribe has been attacked."

"The Khan's sworn brother Jamukha has betrayed the Khan and is now besieging the tribe with other Mongols."
