The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 327 Huang Yaoshi: I can't even defeat you.
Amidst a gentle, falling rain of peach blossoms.
Xu Xingchen spun around like the wind, but he couldn't keep up with Huang Yaoshi's ever-changing speed.

When the peach blossoms scatter, the person disappears; when the peach blossoms gather, the person reappears.
Huang Yaoshi flashed and changed shape around Xu Xingchen several times, his palms continuously striking the Yuan Magnetic Ring that circulated black and white wisdom light.

The oscillations of the magnetic ring became more and more violent, and the tremors became more and more obvious.

"...It actually uses a method of resonance to cause destruction."

"Huang Yaoshi truly lives up to his reputation as one of the Four Great Masters; he found a way to break my Yuan Magnetic Ring so quickly."

"If this continues, my Magnetic Ring will probably be destroyed again."

Xu Xingchen was amazed by Huang Yaoshi's sharp reaction and knew that he couldn't remain unchanged.

A vast aura suddenly erupted, and his tall and powerful body rose higher and higher with the cracking of his bones, while black and white hues quickly covered his body.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a man who was 2.5 meters tall, with one half of his body as black as ink and the other half as white as jade.

The left eye shone with a blazing white light, while the right eye gleamed with a deep, dark black light.
The air within a radius of several feet sometimes became as heavy as a mountain, and sometimes as light as a feather.

The constant shifts and rapid alternations between heaviness and lightness immediately disrupted Huang Yaoshi's movements and interrupted his attack.

At the same time, the magnetic rings surrounding him shone brightly, suddenly expanding outwards and sending Huang Yaoshi flying.

The Yuan Magnetic Ring quickly flew away from his body, spun once in the air, and turned into a bracelet that was placed on Xu Xingchen's left wrist.

next moment.
Xu Xingchen suddenly leaped into the air, her figure as light and agile as a bird, soaring high into the sky, about four or five zhang high.

Looking down at Huang Yaoshi, who had smashed several peach trees in succession, Huang Yaoshi suddenly pressed down with his jet-black left hand.

A heavy, mountain-like pressure suddenly descended from the sky, slamming Huang Yaoshi, who was still flying backwards, to the ground.

Boom!

The mud surged into the sky like a waterfall, and the ground suddenly collapsed, forming a handprint about ten feet in size and three feet deep.

Huang Yaoshi then sank deeply into the soil in the middle of the palm print.

Xu Xingchen fell from the sky, her jet-black left arm not retracting, continuing to push downwards.
The moonlight of the night sky fell here, and the space itself seemed to be slightly distorted.

As his palm continued to press down, the pit in the ground slowly sank. Huang Yaoshi's hair danced wildly like weeds, and his body creaked and groaned, as if he could not bear the weight.

Huang Yaoshi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he gritted his teeth and hissed, "Outrageous!"

Amidst the crackling and popping sounds of his bones, his body rapidly swelled and grew stronger, beginning his third transformation.
The tattoo of peach blossoms and slanted branches on his back spread and grew wildly, like a real tree sprouting new branches and growing strong, extending from his shoulders and ribs, quickly covering his chest and abdomen.
A few peach blossoms spread from his neck to his left cheeks, adding to Huang Yaoshi's refined and elegant appearance, and dashing demeanor.

All the changes were completed in a very short time!
Wow!
His body suddenly exploded into a shower of pink peach blossoms, filling the large crater of the palm print.

Even with the constant pressure from the black hand falling from the sky, it still couldn't stop them from soaring into the sky, circling and hovering, and flying diagonally to the ground outside the palm print pit.

The peach blossoms swirled and danced, eventually coalescing back into the figure of Huang Yaoshi.

As Xu Xingchen landed in the air, he frowned and withdrew his jet-black left hand. At the same time, his doubts were finally confirmed.

"As expected, Huang Yaoshi's martial arts initially focused on subtle variations; however, as he continued to unleash his power after breaking through to higher realms, those subtle variations gradually evolved into a kind of illusion, or rather, an illusion technique!"

"Whether it's his human form exploding into countless peach blossoms, or the peach blossoms gathering to form his figure, it's all an illusion, a trick to bewitch others."

"This illusion technique seems to be closely related to the bewitching power of the Peach Blossom Array."

"Could it be that Huang Yaoshi's martial arts incorporated elements of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation?"

Xu Xingchen was filled with countless thoughts.

call out!
A short, sharp whistle suddenly pierced the air.

But Huang Yaoshi, who had escaped, raised his hand and flicked a pebble.

The stone was moving so fast and rapidly that it created a long trail of fire due to intense friction with the air.

As Xu Xingchen fell, he waved his jade-white right hand, causing the fiery line of pebbles that had been aimed at him for about ten feet to deflect and dart past him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Huang Yaoshi used his finger-flicking technique with both hands in succession, and streaks of fire tore through the sky and rushed towards Xu Xingchen.

With a wave of his jet-black left hand, Xu Xingchen caused the fire lines to slow down rapidly, like bullets stuck in glue, and then stop in front of him.

With a forceful downward push of his black left palm, all the small pebbles that had revealed themselves bounced back and hurtled towards Huang Yaoshi on the ground. Whoosh!
Huang Yaoshi's figure transformed once again into a pink peach blossom ribbon, soaring into the sky and swirling as it approached Xu Xingchen.

Then, a pink hand about ten feet in size appeared and pushed upwards.

Xu Xingchen thrust out his left palm again, the heavy force pressing down rapidly, colliding with the pink handprint that rushed in from the side.

Boom!

A thunderclap seemed to resound in mid-air, and a shockwave, black with pink peach blossoms mixed in, spread in all directions.

A delicate petal somehow pierced through the shockwave, swirling and fluttering in the air before brushing past Xu Xingchen's cheek.

A line of blood appeared clearly, and a drop of blood flowed out!

The petal shot skyward, bursting into a shower of peach blossoms that blanketed the sky, spreading out a pink hue.

Huang Yaoshi's figure appeared and disappeared among the swirling peach blossoms, and then vanished completely again in the next moment.

Xu Xingchen somersaulted to the ground, looked up at the pink peach blossom ribbons swirling in the air, and exclaimed in amazement, "Huang Yaoshi's illusionary skills are simply unbelievable!"

The hidden peach blossoms can not only gather and disperse at will, but can also transform from ten thousand blossoms into one, and from one one blossom into ten thousand flowers.
This was a martial arts power that Xu Xingchen had never encountered before, and the excitement in his heart surged, filling him with a high fighting spirit.

"Hahaha, Island Master Huang's divine skills have truly broadened my horizons; let's do it again! Again!"

Xu Xingchen frantically swung his arms, and one after another, black and white magnetic rings shot into the sky, tracing ever-changing arcs, crashing into the swirling pink ribbon from all directions.

However, those magnetic rings only disrupted the movement trajectory of a small number of peach blossoms in certain areas of the ribbon, but could not cause a greater impact.

When the missed magnetic rings circled back with a buzzing sound, Xu Xingchen knew that this battle would not be easy!
"Hong Qigong was right after all. Whether it's Ouyang Feng's poison gas or Island Master Huang's illusions, I seem to be powerless against them."

With a series of quick movements, he collected all the magnetic rings and converted them back into internal energy, which he then returned to his body.

At this moment, the pink peach blossom ribbon that was flying in the sky made a turn, landed with a thud, and then transformed into a long peach blossom path that stretched across the sky.

The speed was so fast that it was too fast for anyone to hear.
Just as Xu Xingchen retracted those Yuan Magnetic Rings, the horizontal peach blossom ribbon had already swallowed and submerged his body.

Xu Xingchen felt as if the peach blossoms were rushing past him at lightning speed, as if he had entered a pink passage made up of peach blossoms, a scene of unimaginable magnificence.

Most terrifyingly, Xu Xingchen felt her heart wavering and her mind becoming disoriented.

It seemed as if it too wished to transform into a petal, a peach blossom, and dance gracefully.
That momentary lapse in concentration was enough to deliver a devastating blow to him.

Huang Yaoshi's figure suddenly materialized from a flurry of peach blossoms, and he struck Xu Xingchen on the back with a palm.

Amidst the surging energy, his figure once again exploded into dozens of peach blossoms, fluttering in the wind.

Just a moment later, Huang Yaoshi's figure materialized from another peach blossom and slapped Xu Xingchen's left shoulder with a palm.

With a burst of energy, his figure shattered once again into countless flying peach blossoms.
Thump thump thump thump thump thump.
The peach blossoms fluttering around Xu Xingchen transformed one after another into the figure of Huang Yaoshi, bombarding Xu Xingchen from all directions. Then, they exploded into countless pink peach blossoms, continuing to bewitch Xu Xingchen's mind.

Xu Xingchen's mind was only momentarily distracted before he was struck by more than a dozen Falling Flower Divine Sword Palms, his body swaying left and right, leaning forward and backward.

Then, seven or eight Huang Yaoshi appeared one after another, almost like multiple phantoms, their palms striking Xu Xingchen with lightning speed.

Bang!
A shockwave of peach blossoms exploded out instantly, sending Xu Xingchen flying.

Click! Click! Click! Click! Click!
Its towering body transformed into a black and white afterimage, tumbling and crashing along the way, breaking the trunks of more than a dozen peach trees before finally shaking the ground with a deafening roar and sending up countless handfuls of soil.
When the soil fell back to the ground with a crackling sound and the dust settled, a deep pit about ten feet in size appeared on the ground.

Xu Xingchen huddled at the bottom of the pit, her limbs twitching occasionally, her eyes gazing at the sky, seemingly still carrying a trace of lingering daze.

Hurala!
Pink peach blossom ribbons fluttered and swirled as they flew by, landing on the ground beside the pit.

A bare foot stepped on the ground, then dragged Huang Yaoshi's tall and handsome body out from the swirling rain of peach blossoms.

Surrounded by dancing peach blossoms, Huang Yaoshi looked at Xu Xingchen in the pit and frowned, saying, "I didn't expect your martial arts to have reached such a level; even with my strength from breaking through three realms, I couldn't defeat you."

Bottom of the pit
Xu Xingchen moved his hands and feet, and the surrounding soil loosened a little, and his tall, half-black and half-white body slowly rose up.

A moment later, he hovered about ten feet above the pit, his eyes shining as he looked at Huang Yaoshi and said happily, "Island Master Huang, your martial arts are truly amazing and unparalleled, worthy of my admiration."
