The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 326 Peach Blossom Palm Force Petal Sword Qi
Whoosh whoosh.
A pink tornado swirled and danced in the peach orchard, drawing in more and more peach blossoms from the surrounding area.

A series of explosive sounds emanated from within, demonstrating the intensity of the battle.

Huang Yaoshi hid in the pink tornado, with one hand constantly reaching out from all directions, as fast as if seven or eight people were attacking at the same time.

However, when this palm touched the black and white magnetic rings surrounding the majestic figure in the center, the attack was completely deflected and could not penetrate even a little.

After more than ten moves, Huang Yaoshi still couldn't detect any flaws or weaknesses in the black and white aura.

It was more perfect than he had imagined!
However, he also discovered a weakness that wasn't really a weakness: as long as he didn't use ranged attacks and fought directly with his bare hands, the force reflected back by the black and white aura could be neutralized in time.

This is what makes this world special.
After undergoing repeated breakthroughs and transformations, every martial artist's physical body becomes several times stronger than those of the martial artists in the previous two worlds. As a result, they can easily withstand tremendous force and recover from injuries at an unbelievably fast pace.

These four martial arts masters can all exert incredibly precise and terrifying control over their own power during close-quarters combat.

Hong Qigong was able to destroy Xu Xingchen's Yuan Magnetic Ring in close combat.

Although Huang Yaoshi's palm strikes were not as powerful, domineering, and fierce as Hong Qigong's, he was the least bound by rules.

With a long howl, crackling sounds of bones bursting echoed from the swirling pink tornado, and a powerful aura soared into the sky.

boom!
The swirling, pink tornado suddenly exploded, transforming into countless fluttering raindrops that flew in all directions.

Huang Yaoshi, now revealed, had grown considerably taller, but his physique remained slender and upright. The addition of a peach branch on his back and the four or five peach blossom tattoos slanted across his body further enhanced his refined and scholarly air.

As soon as he appeared, he slapped Xu Xingchen's Yuan Magnetic Ring with his palm.

This palm strike was not only stronger and larger, but also more refined.

The countless peach blossom powers of the Falling Blossom Divine Sword Palm decomposed into a series of subtle energies, rushing into the Yuan Magnetic Ring one after another. Like many tiny particles appearing in the bearing of a rapidly spinning wheel, they quickly disrupted the Yuan Magnetic Ring's operating rules of absorption, neutralization, and rebound.

Click!

Amidst the sound of crystal shattering, numerous peach blossom petals burst forth from the magnetic ring.
At this point, the Yuan Magnetic Ring was broken!
Xu Xingchen's internal energy and blood were closely related to the Yuan Magnetic Ring, so he immediately groaned and took two steps back.

next moment.
A palm strike composed of countless pink peach blossoms sent him flying.

As it flew backward, the pink peach blossoms that made up the Falling Blossom Divine Sword Palm shattered into streaks of petal-shaped sword energy, shooting, cutting, slashing, and piercing everywhere.
Blood splattered and fell!
Xu Xingchen had numerous crisscrossing, narrow wounds on his chest and abdomen.

call out!
Another peach blossom petal pierced the sky, like a sharp arrow, rushing towards Xu Xingchen, who was being cut and injured by countless petal sword energies.

Xu Xingchen snorted angrily, and amidst the crackling sounds of his bones and muscles, his body rapidly grew taller and stronger, with his bulging, dragon-like muscles combining and piling up to form large, solid muscles.

Various colored patterns spread and diffused across the surface of his undulating muscles, quickly transforming him into a towering mountain like the Hulk.

Bang!
A powerful burst of energy exploded outwards, shattering all the surrounding pink peach blossom sword energy.

A thick, long arm suddenly reached out and shattered the flying peach blossom arrow with a single palm strike.

Xu Xingchen stretched his strong body after his second transformation and laughed loudly, "Alright, let's begin the second round of battle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground exploded with a bang, creating a crater two feet wide. His strong body leaped high into the air and crashed down like a mountain.

Before the attack even arrived, a powerful aura descended upon Huang Yaoshi, attempting to immobilize him.

Huang Yaoshi snorted coldly, and with a spin, he broke free from the powerful aura that had been binding him.

With slender hands sweeping through the air, the scattered peach blossoms quickly transformed into streaks of pink sword energy, piercing the sky and striking the figure that crashed down.

Boom!

The mountain-like body crashed to the ground, causing the ground to tremble, mud to fly everywhere, and creating a crater about ten feet wide and three feet deep.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
The pink sword, piercing through the air, tore through the curtain, sending mud flying like a curtain, which landed one after another on the majestic, mountain-like body inside.

Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah.
One after another, pink sword energies exploded into clumps of powder, which rose and fell on Xu Xingchen's body like tiny pink mushrooms, blooming in abundance; yet they did not harm his unusually strong and robust body in the slightest.

The physical body that Xu Xingchen manifested with the ultimate move of "The First Sword of Mount Hua" was incredibly powerful and as strong as a mountain; only the unparalleled and fierce moves such as Hong Qigong's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and Ouyang Feng's Toad Stance could effectively harm him.

Falling Petal Divine Sword Palm, Orchid Finger Acupoint Hand, Whirlwind Sweeping Leaf Leg
Such flashy martial arts skills are as easy to use against others as beating a dog, but against someone like Xu Xingchen whose body is as solid as a mountain, they are like a sharp spear meeting a solid shield, with very limited effect.

Before the mud that had been splashed in the air could land, a green body burst out of the ground and rushed toward Huang Yaoshi.

Bang!
Huang Yaoshi's body exploded into countless pink peach blossoms.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in a swirling vortex of peach blossoms not far away. Xu Xingchen, transformed into a majestic green mountain, unleashed a wide and powerful attack, fighting with unparalleled and terrifying strength.

Huang Yaoshi, meanwhile, danced and circled around Xu Xingchen amidst the bursts of peach blossoms.
One attack after another erupted, with a flurry of peach blossom palms and petal-shaped sword energies piercing the sky within a radius of about ten feet.

The sounds of air explosions and sword slashes piercing the air were continuous and varied.

Xu Xingchen's movements were much slower than Huang Yaoshi's attacks, forcing him to use his body to withstand attacks from all directions.

Each punch he threw shattered the air and destroyed several peach blossom palm strikes.

With each strike, countless fierce and incomparable petal-like sword energies dissipated.
Every move and every stance displays overwhelming power and fierce might!
However, after a dozen or so moves...
During the battle, Xu Xingchen was astonished to discover that only a small portion of the peach blossom palm strikes and petal sword energies he had shattered completely dissipated into the air. The majority, under Huang Yaoshi's control, swirled and danced, regrouping to form subsequent second, third, and fourth waves of attacks.
The pink peach blossoms that Huang Yaoshi used to form the Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm could actually be reused and used for repeated attacks.
This was beyond Xu Xingchen's imagination!

Although his Yuan Magnetic Ring can fly out to launch long-range attacks, if it is destroyed, it is truly destroyed and cannot be recycled and reused like Huang Yaoshi's peach blossom power.

After fighting for a while longer, Xu Xingchen gradually got the hang of it.

The Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm is a unique martial art that combines both strength and gentleness. Huang Yaoshi has integrated its characteristics of combining strength and gentleness into a wonderful and ultimate state.

While sacrificing some offensive power, this approach adds a touch of subtlety and versatility to the design.

This is a unique style of martial arts, completely different from those of Ouyang Feng and Hong Qigong.

A profound martial art that primarily pursues subtle variations!

This may be related to Huang Yaoshi's interest in studying the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, astronomy, geography, commerce, and agriculture.

Xu Xingchen stood firm like a majestic green mountain, his two arms transforming into the eight-armed Nezha, unleashing a furious barrage in all directions.

Huang Yaoshi's figure appeared and disappeared repeatedly amidst the swirling and dancing peach blossoms surrounding Xu Xingchen.
Large clusters of peach blossoms converged into a powerful palm strike, while the separated petals transformed into sharp sword energies.

In this dazzling battle filled with falling petals, the power of the Falling Petal Divine Sword Palm was brought to its fullest potential.

The battle between the two sides seemed to have reached a stalemate, but in reality, Xu Xingchen was the one who was at a disadvantage.

He withstood the frenzied attacks of the remaining foe with his bare hands; the peach blossoms he scattered with his fists and palms were then used by Huang Yaoshi to launch a relentless offensive.
As time passed, Huang Yaoshi seemed to have found Xu Xingchen's weakness and began to shoot flower petals, which resembled sword energy, towards Xu Xingchen's eyes.

As a result, Xu Xingchen had to carefully protect his eyes, and the frequency of his attacks on the surroundings was immediately reduced by half.

"My magnetic ring has two uses."

One approach is to protect one's own safety by providing comprehensive and thorough protection.

One option is to fly out and launch a ranged attack.

"Those magnetic rings used for ranged attacks, even if destroyed, will at most cause some mental strain; it's not a big problem."

"However, if the protective ring that safeguards my safety is destroyed, it will affect the circulation of my internal energy and the application of my mental power, making it impossible for me to use it again for a short period of time."

"Otherwise, if I were to unleash these detestable peach blossom palm techniques and petal sword energies now, they would surely be unable to harm me."

Xu Xingchen was speechless and could only continue to tough it out.

After another dozen or so moves, the Yuan Magnetic Ring finally "cooled down" and could be used again.

next moment.
Two streaks of light, one black and one white, shot out from his body, swirling around him and buzzing.

All the peach blossom palm energy and petal sword energy that rushed into the three-foot radius around him were blasted away, turning into a shower of pink meteors that rushed in all directions.

This time, Huang Yaoshi was finally unable to recall the peach blossoms manifested by his internal energy.
"An opponent like you is just as detestable as the old beggar and the old poisoner!"

Huang Yaoshi coldly shouted, his figure appearing behind Xu Xingchen like a ghost, and his palms struck the Yuan Magnetic Ring in succession.

The Yuan Magnetic Ring vibrated and hummed violently, constantly neutralizing and rebounding Huang Yaoshi's palm strikes.

Compared to the previous Yuan Magnetic Ring that was destroyed, this Yuan Magnetic Ring is significantly stronger.

At the same time, Xu Xingchen turned around and threw a punch.

Huang Yaoshi's figure exploded into a shower of peach blossoms that filled the sky and disappeared.

In the blink of an eye.
It then coalesced and manifested in another location, and the palms struck the primordial magnetic ring with lightning speed once more.
