The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 347 Xu Xingchen: Qiu Qianren, come to Lin'an.
A small river, a wooden bridge.
Two figures moved swiftly, like rabbits leaping and falcons swooping down.

One man's iron palm formed a curtain, pushing and shoving, causing the air to surge and churn.

One man's sword flashed like water, flowing back and forth, its exquisite skill revealing a hint of sharpness.

Qiu Qianren unleashed dozens of palm strikes, all of which were effortlessly neutralized by the sword light, much like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox. His anger intensified.

"You fucking look down on me so much that you still won't use your breakthrough power?!"

"Fine, in that case, I'll see how long you can hold out."

Qiu Qianren roared angrily, and crackling sounds of bones popping emanated from his body once again. His muscles swelled and grew larger as they rapidly writhed, and he quickly grew to a height of about two meters.

A layer of dark, iron-like sheen covered his strong body.
As the iron palm swung and attacked, a slight "crackling" friction sound was heard.

Its power is increasing exponentially!

With each strike, a circular energy ring, about ten feet in diameter, explodes in the air.

Thump thump thump thump thump thump.
After a series of palm strikes, several rings of energy surged outwards in all directions.

Click! Click! Click!

The wooden bridge beneath their feet burst open, leaving gaps the size of washbasins.

Countless wood chips flew and scattered in all directions.

If the wooden bridge hadn't been made of sturdy materials, it would have been broken in half by the aftershock of his palm strike and fallen into the river below.

Even so, the wooden bridge is already in a precarious state.

Under such a fierce and domineering attack, Xu Xingchen had no choice but to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack and quickly flew backward.

Bang!
Qiu Qianren stepped onto the wooden bridge plank, finally breaking the bridge surface, which had several huge gaps, in two.

Wow!
Countless pieces of wood, large and small, fell into the river below.

Qiu Qianren's enormous, steel-like body transformed into a blur as he swiftly reached the opposite bank.

The right palm suddenly pushed out
A three-foot-long, dark palm print shot out, trailing a long, meteor-like tail, and struck Xu Xingchen.

Iron Palm Floats on Water.

Qiu Qianren possesses both the domineering and fierce Iron Sand Palm and the extraordinary lightness skill of walking on water.

The lightning bolt approached, striking with incredible speed, faster than lightning could catch anyone off guard.

This left Xu Xingchen with nowhere to hide and nowhere to avoid.

In the rush, he only had time to hold the Dragon Slayer Sword in front of him.

Dang~~~!

Amidst the high-pitched and stirring sounds of metal clashing.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword bent sharply backward and slammed into Xu Xingchen's chest.

The iron sand palm print continued forward, striking Xu Xingchen.

Bang!
With a loud bang, Xu Xingchen's body flew backward like a cannonball.

Click!Click!
Two sturdy trees split in two, their dense canopies slowly collapsing.

boom!
Its body finally crashed into a huge boulder, shattering it into pieces, sending fragments flying everywhere.

"Come on! Either unleash your power to break through to the next realm, or... die!"

With a single palm strike, Qiu Qianren sent Xu Xingchen flying, then stomped his feet hard on the ground.

The earth trembled, mud flew everywhere, and a black body, as hard as steel, shot into the sky, reaching a height of several meters.

Amidst angry shouts.

The body expanded and grew larger again with a crackling sound.

Qiu Qianren had already unleashed the terrifying power of breaking through three realms!
Wait until the upward momentum is close.

That body had grown to a height of 2.3 meters.

The muscles all over his body had completely transformed into a well-defined and orderly combination, like steel.

Even his pupils had turned a cold, metallic gray.

The afternoon sun shone on this steel body, reflecting a dark, cold light.

His thick arms were raised high in the air, his two heavy hands clasped together.

Black, iron-like energy swirled and swirled around his body, flowing like water to converge on his hands, which were raised above his head, condensing into a three-foot-long round iron hammer.

The hammer slammed down.

This propelled Qiu Qianren's body down from the air, his target the young man lying in the shattered rock pit on the ground.

Inside the spiderweb-like cracks and pits of the mountain rocks
Xu Xingchen spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling that his body had been damaged both inside and out.

As his internal energy circulated, the five elements rapidly healed his injuries.

Looking up at Qiu Qianren falling like a shooting star, Xu Xingchen exclaimed inwardly, "This guy is truly decisive and ruthless, going straight for the ultimate move."

"Looks like I need to get more serious."

Crackling!

His muscles swelled up rapidly.

The clothes she had just bought at the market were once again shattered into pieces, fluttering among the potholes.

Boom!

Qiu Qianren, transformed into a black iron-colored meteor, crashed into a crater in the rocks on the ground.

The huge explosion shook the ground.

Countless pebbles flew everywhere, hitting the surrounding trees and making a crackling sound; they landed on the hard rocks and shattered into even smaller pieces.

At the same time, a huge plume of smoke rose from the sky, obscuring the view of the rocky, cratered mountains.

After a few breaths.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated with the wind, revealing the scene in the center.

The rocky pit grew even larger, reaching a diameter of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), with a deep depression in its center. A majestic body, entirely black and as hard as steel, stood in the depths of the pit, its aura extremely imposing and domineering.

"...It's a complete failure!"

Qiu Qianren slowly raised his head, looked at the grassy sky not far from the pit, and said in a buzzing voice, "You're very fast!"

Above the meadow, a tall, handsome figure, half black and half white, floated, with long, half-black and half-white hair fluttering in the air behind his head.

The dragon-slaying sword in his hand was nowhere to be found, and his expression was as calm as that of a high and mighty god.

In response to Qiu Qianren's praise, he returned the praise: "Your martial arts are not weak either; you were able to smash such a big crater!"

"Hmph! Since you've also unleashed your power to break through to a higher realm, then let's continue the fight!"

Qiu Qianren's voice became increasingly inhuman.

Inside the pit.
The rubble flew out again, and a black afterimage instantly traversed several meters, crashing into Xu Xingchen.

Before the person even arrived, a strong and domineering aura had already locked onto Xu Xingchen's mind.

Xu Xingchen smiled slightly, and with a rotation of the Yin-Yang Elemental Magnetic Force, he deflected the aura that had been locking onto him.

His body seemed to be guided by an invisible thread, drawing a perfect arc in mid-air and skillfully dodging the violent collision of the black figure.

Then, a black and white afterimage appeared and followed closely behind.

Before Qiu Qianren could react, his strong, long, black left arm was raised high and then slammed down.

Before the momentum had dissipated, Qiu Qianren felt an astonishing pressure suddenly coming down from above, as if a five-fingered mountain was pressing down on him.

Boom!

The ground shook, dust billowed, and countless fragments of stone flew everywhere.

A large tree affected by this figure snapped in two with a crack.

The upper half of the tree crown flew out with a whoosh and crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

A long trench appeared on the ground.

Qiu Qianren's steel body lay at the end of the ravine wound, wisps of white smoke rising from his body.

Xu Xingchen placed her feet on the top of a nearby tree and soared several meters into the air, then plummeted headfirst to the ground.

Halfway
The black left hand suddenly pushed downwards.

The air below is distorted, causing light to refract.

The ground shook again, and the pit at the end of the ravine immediately collapsed three feet down, forming a five-finger print about ten feet in size.

In the center of the five-finger palm print, the steel figure had vanished.

Before the five-finger palm print landed, Qiu Qianren escaped the pit at an incredible speed and leaped several meters into the air to Xu Xingchen's side.

A pitch-black steel giant
A tall figure in black and white
In the blink of an eye, more than ten moves were exchanged.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.
Amidst the continuous bursts of energy, shockwaves spread out in layers.

"Qiu Qianren! You are no match for me, get down here!"

With a cold shout from Xu Xingchen, his body drew a perfect arc in the air and arrived above Qiu Qianren's head.

Her right hand, as white as jade, pulled backward.

Qiu Qianren's body seemed to be a weightless feather, suspended in mid-air. No matter how he struggled or made moves, he could not move his body more than ten feet away.

Qiu Qianren was startled and immediately looked up, only to see a pitch-black hand suddenly fall towards him.

In an instant, an invisible, immense gravity enveloped and pressed down on his entire body!
His body once again transformed into a shooting star, plummeting straight to the ground.

Boom!

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a crater riddled with spiderweb-like cracks was blasted open in the ground.

Xu Xingchen remained suspended high in the sky, waving her arms downwards repeatedly.

One after another, black and white magnetic rings shot out in a frenzy.

They drew perfect arcs, tearing through the sky, their shrill cries as rapid and dense as those of bombers.

During its descent, its size rapidly increased from the size of a palm to about a foot.

Like chasing a swarm of bees, they rushed down into the pit from all directions.

"Damn it!"

With an angry shout, Qiu Qianren suddenly turned over and stood up.

The two steel arms swung and immediately unleashed more than a dozen dark palm prints in all directions.

The wind was fierce and violent, its power overwhelming mountains and rivers!
Ding ding ding ding ding ding.
High-pitched, sharp clangs of metal echoed through the pit and the open ground.

The black and white magnetic rings collided with the dark palm prints, creating incredibly intense sparks.

Like bursts of brilliant fireworks, they enveloped Qiu Qianren's steel body.

Although Qiu Qianren's iron palm was fierce and domineering, it failed to shatter those magnetic rings, but only knocked them away one by one.

The Magnetic Ring, which had been knocked away, spun and danced in the air, like birds returning to their nests, as it flew towards the black and white figure falling from the sky.

As Xu Xingchen retrieved the Yuan Magnetic Rings, he glanced at Qiu Qianren in the pit.

The loud voice echoed through the woods along the riverbank.

"Qiu Qianren, let's end this battle here!"

"If you want to fight me again..."

"Then let's go to Lin'an."

"On the night of the full moon, atop the imperial palace, heroes vie for supremacy, vying for the title of the greatest under heaven."

As the lingering sound faded, Xu Xingchen's figure had already disappeared.
