The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 29: Using Dugu Nine Swords to Feed
The sun sets, and the afterglow remains!
On the Yunu Peak, the snow has not melted in many places, and it is still covered with silver and looks vast.

There was no snow at all on the open space next to the Siguo Cliff.

Xu Xingchen practiced sword skills here every day, and had already worn away all the ice and snow on the ground.

Standing opposite Linghu Chong, three meters away, Xu Xingchen was expectant: "Could it be that Senior Brother has already learned the Dugu Nine Swords from Grand Master Feng?"

For people who practice martial arts, a few days of training will not bring much improvement, so Yue Buqun stipulated that his disciples should compete once a month.

The two had just competed a few days ago. Now, Linghu Chong challenged him again. He must have felt that his swordsmanship had improved greatly.

In just a few days, a person's swordsmanship can be greatly improved. Apart from the "Everything will be quick" Sword Manual of Exorcism, the only other skill that is highly compatible with Linghu Chong's aptitude is the "Nine Swords of Dugu".

The book describes that it took Feng Qingyang three months to learn the "general sword stance" of the first sword of the Dugu Nine Swords. In order to deal with Tian Boguang, Linghu Chong learned the "broken sword stance" of the Nine Swords. He comprehended 20% to 30% of it in one night, and then spent another day and night to comprehend it all.

Although later, Feng Qingyang said: "Even if you have mastered the skills of Dugu Nine Swords, you will still need to practice hard for twenty years before you can compete with the heroes of the world."

But in terms of comprehension alone, Linghu Chong is even better than Feng Qingyang, and his compatibility with the Dugu Nine Swords is absolutely terrifyingly high.

Of course, as the protagonist of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, it is normal for Linghu Chong to behave like this.

On open ground.
The two sides saluted and then drew their swords to fight.

After this fight, Xu Xingchen immediately felt the huge change in Linghu Chong's swordsmanship.

The Huashan sword technique and Xiyi sword technique were still used, but the connection and transition between the moves were more unrestrained and imaginative than before.

Sometimes, just when a sword move is halfway through, it will smoothly switch to another sword move, as if breaking free from the constraints of previous moves and becoming more sophisticated, mysterious and unpredictable.

The most terrifying thing is that Linghu Chong's moves are always aimed at the flaws in Xu Xingchen's swordsmanship.

As soon as Xu Xingchen began to perform his sword moves, Linghu Chong had already stabbed his arms, shoulders, legs, feet, chest and abdomen, which were about to move to the next position.

"Predict the opponent's body shape when he attacks, start the prelude, and take the lead in drawing the sword to interrupt the opponent's action."

"If this isn't Dugu Nine Swords, what else could it be?!"

Xu Xingchen was restrained everywhere when he made his moves, but he was not surprised at all. Instead, he became more and more happy.

By speeding up a bit, Linghu Chong's sword could no longer lock onto the movement of his limbs and could only snipe at him halfway, hitting the unaffected middle part of his sword or the area near the hilt before his sword could exert force, thus forcing the sword's trajectory to change.

On the open ground, two figures moved quickly, and a sword light stabbed repeatedly, like rain hitting banana leaves, destroying the other side's sword light into pieces, and the army was completely defeated.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Xu Xingchen laughed joyfully. The defeated sword light was like a dead tree sprouting again in spring, suddenly producing new subtle changes in impossible places, blocking Linghu Chong's sharp and swift sword skills one by one.

Feng Qingyang, who was hiding in the dark, saw this and narrowed his dim eyes slightly, thinking: "The magic of the sword technique is beginning to show!"

Linghu Chong's Dugu Nine Swords can predict the opponent's movements and pierce the opponent's flaws in advance.

Xu Xingchen's sword skills also allow him to be observant of details during the battle, detect changes in the opponent's moves in time, and respond immediately.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

The clear sound of swords clashing was as rapid as a rainstorm and continued without interruption.

The two men swung their swords faster and faster, and the changes became more and more sophisticated. After just a dozen moves, they had already passed the warm-up stage and were fighting fiercely.

Xu Xingchen looked at the increasingly excited expression on Linghu Chong's face and thought to himself, "After meeting Master Feng, Senior Brother is indeed like a phoenix that breaks the jade cage and releases the golden lock, and a dragon that escapes. His momentum to soar into the sky has been formed since then!"

Yue Buqun was extremely strict when teaching his disciples martial arts. Every move had to be performed in a standard and orderly manner without any mistakes or omissions.

Such teaching is naturally a great thing for other disciples, but for the spiritually gifted Linghu Chong, it is like binding him with a golden rope or locking him with a jade lock, which can only bring out 20% to 30% of his potential.

Even so, if there had not been the unexpected visitor Xu Xingchen, Linghu Chong would still be the number one disciple under Yue Buqun.

Now, he has received guidance from Feng Qingyang and learned the world's top-notch swordsmanship. It is really like "suddenly breaking the golden rope and breaking the jade lock". He is very happy and the power of his swordsmanship is increasing by leaps and bounds.

Xu Xingchen was extremely happy when he saw the amazing power of Dugu Nine Swords.

From Huashan Sword Technique to Yangwu Sword Technique, and from Yangwu Sword Technique to Lady Sword Technique, and then there are Xiyi Sword Technique and Jade Girl Sword Technique.
Linghu Chong was familiar with Huashan Sword Technique and Xiyi Sword Technique, and was able to decipher them extremely quickly. He also had a lot of knowledge about the other three sword techniques, and it was not difficult for him to decipher them either.

Later in the fight, Xu Xingchen completely abandoned the Huashan swordsmanship that he had mastered to perfection, and used only the four swordsmanship that he had practiced for half a year. He used round after round, but was broken by Linghu Chong's long sword again and again. "Oh? So this Yangwu swordsmanship actually has such a loophole?"

"Is this flaw in the Lady's swordsmanship so hidden?"

".Can this method be used to suppress the use of Xiyi Sword Technique?"

"The Jade Maiden Sword Technique is so complex and varied that these few moves become a bit redundant."

Xu Xingchen became more and more happy and excited as the fight went on. Many unexpected flaws and omissions in the four sword techniques were revealed one by one under the power of the Dugu Nine Swords.

For a time, his comprehension of the four sword techniques increased steadily, and was already comparable to his own progress in practicing hard for a month.

As he continued to understand and deepen his knowledge of the four sword techniques, the inspiration in his mind also burst out and exploded, as brilliant as fireworks.

This is why Xu Xingchen, who has grasped the spirit of swordsmanship, can immediately move on to the next move when one sword move is broken and continue the battle.

If it were any other martial artist, even the famous "Walking Alone for Thousands of Miles" Tian Boguang, he would not be able to last more than a few moves under Linghu Chong's Dugu Nine Swords and would be stabbed to the ground.

Halfway through the fight, Xu Xingchen had an idea: "I'm worried about how to further improve my newly created Swordsmanship of the Fiery Woman and the Swordsmanship of the Yin Man. Isn't this a good time to use the Dugu Nine Swords to check for any deficiencies?"

As soon as his mind was made up, his sword technique changed again, and he unfolded a set of complex, varied, swift and fierce sword techniques.

Swish, swish, swish, several swords attacked, and Linghu Chong was a little unprepared, but he quickly calmed down and responded steadily.

The seventy-two moves of the heroic female sword technique are all about using fierce and swift sword techniques to perform complex and varied moves.

Although it is in its infancy, it has already shown extraordinary power in Xu Xingchen's hands.

But after this fierce battle, Linghu Chong's understanding of Dugu Nine Swords also improved by leaps and bounds. When facing Xu Xingchen's Sword Skills of the Fierce Woman, he was still able to quickly find the flaws and break it with one sword.

"Good! Good!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

The more moves of the Lie Nu Sword Technique were cracked, the brighter Xu Xingchen's eyes became. New inspirations gushed out like springs, and he made further revisions to the sword technique.

After several revisions, many of the errors and omissions in the Sword Technique of the Lie Nu have been corrected.

Then, Xu Xingchen used thirty-six moves of "Yin Nan Sword Technique". His moves were elegant, steady, and combined defense and attack. On the surface, he was calm, but secretly he was turbulent. An occasional attack was like a bolt from the blue, extremely fierce, but also insidious and frightening.

Linghu Chong was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. His continuous sword attack was interrupted for the first time and he jumped back.

Later, even though he was familiar with Yin Nan's swordsmanship, Linghu Chong still did not dare to be careless every time he faced that insidious and ferocious sword.

He performed the "Fierce Woman Sword Technique" and the "Yin Man Sword Technique" in turn for several times. Under the constant "feeding" of the Dugu Nine Swords, Xu Xingchen perfected more than a dozen mistakes that were usually difficult to detect.

The fierce battle lasted for quite some time.
Seeing that Linghu Chong's breathing began to become rapid and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, Xu Xingchen immediately suppressed the fighting spirit in his heart.

The long sword in his hand once again used one of the most familiar thirteen moves of Huashan swordsmanship.

The pines welcome you!

Dozens of sword lights rushed forward, like an ancient pine tree rooted in the rock wall, arching its waist, and leaning its huge branches and needles towards Linghu Chong, just like the gesture of bowing to welcome a guest.

Swish swish!

Linghu Chong stabbed out with his sword for more than ten times in succession, breaking the dozen or so sword lights coming towards him one by one.

The sword lights that were like pine branches kept disintegrating, leaving only the last ray of sword light, which was collected by Xu Xingchen in front of him and held upright in front of his chest, like the last root of a pine tree, standing still.

Linghu Chong thrust his sword forward and hit the sword's spine straight away. With a slight ding sound, the sword suddenly stopped moving.

"Huh?" Linghu Chong looked puzzled.

Feng Qingyang, who was hiding in the darkness, also uttered an almost imperceptible "eh" sound.

　Collect, follow, recommend, thank you everyone!
