The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 360 The Seven Masters of Quanzhen: Out of the Game!

When Xu Xingchen and the others unleashed their power after breaking through three realms, the battle immediately entered a fierce stage.

Wherever the battle formation, covering an area of ​​dozens of feet, went, a gale swept through the air, and powerful energy surged through the sky. The bluestone floor on the ground shattered with countless cracks, and pebbles flew everywhere. The sharp sound of air being torn apart could not be completely covered up even by the explosive sound of the energy blasts.

Then came the palaces, regardless of their size or the extent of their carving, one after another they crumbled and collapsed.

The crowd watching nearby gasped in alarm and hurriedly fled to a distance.

Those who run fast are good, but those who run slowly suffer.

The lucky ones.
Struck by a burst of energy that was accidentally leaked out, he cried out in pain and rolled like a gourd, tumbling several meters away.

The unfortunate ones.
He was sent flying into the sky, and even if he managed to land far away from the battlefield, he would still be severely injured with broken bones and blood gushing from his mouth.

As the onlookers scattered and fled, dozens of people were caught in the crossfire, some were shot flying in all directions, some suffered broken bones, and some were knocked out of their skin.

The onlookers around finally realized they were afraid.

"Quick! Quick! Get out of the capital! We can't stay here any longer!"

"Get to the city wall! Get to the city wall now!"

"Where is the Emperor? Where is the Emperor?"

"Don't worry, His Majesty is of noble health and will definitely not appear in this chaotic battlefield!"

The crowd gasped in surprise, leaping up like startled grasshoppers and heading towards the top of the distant city wall.

The generals on the city wall were still shaken by the chaotic state of the imperial city and the astonishing destruction caused by the dozen or so top-notch experts.

They stopped the restless soldiers and cleared out some areas to accommodate the eunuchs, imperial guards, and martial arts masters who were watching the battle.

Many soldiers were originally hidden in the palace courtyard.
Originally, it was intended as a precaution, to protect the safety of the imperial city, and to assist the old eunuch and others in taking down those martial arts figures who came to "cause trouble" at a critical moment.

As a result, they were thoroughly baptized by Huang Yaoshi's opening aria, "The Azure Sea Rises."

His mind was filled with hallucinations, his body was in turmoil, and he fell to the ground, clutching his ears and struggling in pain.

They only came back to life, covered in sweat, after Huang Yaoshi stopped playing the flute!
The soldiers' commanders finally realized the harsh reality: they knew that not only could they not capture the martial arts masters who had come to cause trouble, but they would also become a burden to the eunuchs and imperial guards. They pleaded and begged for mercy, and finally, the soldiers were allowed to lead their troops out of the capital.

As for the officials, palace maids, and others...
He had left the palace a month ago and was temporarily residing in a mountain villa outside the city.

The eunuchs, imperial guards, and martial arts masters who were watching the battle all retreated to the surrounding city walls.

Within the entire imperial city, apart from the dozen or so people still fighting, only the old eunuch remained unaffected by the chaotic battle, leisurely following not far behind, occasionally sweeping away the rubble and energy blasts that were hurtling towards him.

Apart from these people, there was no one else in the palace!

In the midst of a chaotic battle.
Under normal circumstances, and when they have broken through to the next realm once or twice, the difference between them is not that great.

When they reach the transformed state after breaking through three realms, the difference in their martial arts skills truly becomes apparent.

Among all the masters, Qiu Qianren, the Iron Palm Water-Walking Master, showed the most signs of decline!
Relying on his indestructible body of steel, he charged through the battlefield, withstanding the ferocious attacks from all directions, and fought a remarkable battle against the enemy.

But after being attacked hundreds of times, his body finally couldn't take it anymore. Ouyang Feng's Toad Skill caused his internal organs to tremble violently, and he spat out blood.

Then, like a volleyball, it was hit and scattered around by the crowd, finally flying away with a whoosh.

Boom!

A nearby palace wall shook violently, sending bricks flying and creating a hole about ten feet in size.

Qiu Qianren's body disappeared inside!
The second group that couldn't withstand the intense fighting were the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

Despite the fact that all seven disciples of Quanzhen had unleashed their power after breaking through three realms and formed the incredibly powerful Big Dipper Formation, they could only barely protect themselves in the fierce battlefield. As for attacking, they were willing but unable to do so.

If it were the seven of them facing off against one of them individually, they might have been able to hold out for a long time.

In such a chaotic, violent, and highly skilled melee, being able to hold on until now is already a remarkable achievement.

This is all thanks to the magic of the Big Dipper Formation!

Otherwise, they wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the war.

Xu Xingchen, Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, Ouyang Feng, Zhou Botong.
These people also seemed to find the Seven Masters of Quanzhen somewhat of a hindrance. After knocking away Qiu Qianren, who had the weakest martial arts skills, they took turns throwing punches and palm strikes at the Seven Masters' Big Dipper Formation, intentionally or unintentionally.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Amidst the continuous bursts of energy, ripples of powerful wind spread and impacted.

The Big Dipper Formation trembled violently again and again, with the frequency increasing and the intervals becoming shorter and shorter.

A few breaths.

The forty-nine ethereal phantoms conjured by the Seven Masters of Quanzhen were like images projected by a malfunctioning projector, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

"Hahaha, my seven junior disciples, you should go and rest first. Don't disturb our martial arts competition!"

Amidst Zhou Botong's loud laughter, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, who were fully unleashing the Heavenly Dipper Formation, were suddenly blasted away by several immense and terrifying forces.

The "projector" finally lost power completely. The overlapping, hazy phantoms disappeared rapidly, one after another.

When the figures of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen landed on the ground several feet away, all the illusions vanished.

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen, their blood and qi surging within them, struggled to steady themselves, exchanged bewildered glances, and their faces were filled with helplessness.

The battle has reached its current stage, which represents the limit of their martial arts skills.

If they continue fighting, they will inevitably enter the true fourth stage of breaking through the realm, which is the highest realm of martial arts in this world.

If that time really comes, even if the seven of them use the Heavenly Dipper Formation in a dazzling and elaborate manner, they won't last more than a few moves before being knocked out.

Unless you break through to the fourth stage of the Breakthrough Realm, you are not qualified to participate in the next battle.

"Fellow disciples, we have done our best!"

"Let's retreat to the city wall together and become spectators!"

This time, even Qiu Chuji, who was bold and warlike, had nothing to say and silently followed Ma Yu behind him, retreating with his fellow disciples towards the city wall not far away.

In the fierce battleground
With eight fewer people, the space has become much larger.

But the intensity of the battle did not diminish at all. On the contrary, with a few less troublesome guys gone, the remaining few began to really put their strength into action.

Huang Yaoshi's figure appeared and disappeared amidst the blooming pink peach blossoms.

Sometimes it appears here, sometimes it appears there, sometimes it appears on the left, sometimes it appears on the right.

His figure disappeared and reappeared without any warning.

His martial arts skills have reached the incredible realm of "entering illusion through martial arts"!

Peach Blossom is him!

He is Peach Blossom!

A single peach blossom is him, a few peach blossoms are still him, and the pink river of peach blossoms flowing everywhere is still him.

In the midst of this chaotic battle, wherever peach blossoms bloomed, his figure could be found.

even
Because the flashing was too fast and too rapid, multiple layers of phantom images appeared.

His illusion was different from the hazy, indistinct state when the Seven Masters of Quanzhen performed the Big Dipper Formation.

The phantoms he conjured were all extremely realistic, each with different movements, postures, and expressions.

Truly, peach blossoms bloom in abundance, sword energy surges swiftly and powerfully, ethereal and otherworldly, standing proudly in the mortal realm!

Amidst a billowing mass of green poisonous gas, the deafening croaking of toads could be heard intermittently, and a burly figure with broad shoulders and a thick back could be seen appearing and disappearing within it.

Ouyang Feng, enveloped in green poisonous gas, roamed the battlefield, fighting fiercely and relentlessly.

In terms of sheer domineering martial arts skills, his Toad Style is even superior to Hong Qigong's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and Qiu Qianren's Iron Sand Palm.

With each cry of the toad, with each attack, a violent shockwave surged outwards in all directions.

Anyone affected by this light green shockwave will experience a tremor throughout their entire body, including limbs, internal organs, blood, and internal energy.

The smooth and effortless martial arts moves of everyone would pause for a moment.

Although the pause was extremely brief, even those watching from the surrounding city walls noticed it, but seizing this brief opportunity to launch an attack was difficult.
But not everyone can do that.

Even Ouyang Feng himself couldn't do that.

If he were fighting one-on-one with one of them, he might be able to seize this moment of stagnation and gain a slight advantage in the battle.

In this chaotic and chaotic battle, this sliver of opportunity was truly negligible.

Even so
This also fully demonstrates the power of Ouyang Feng's Toad Skill, how earth-shattering and terrifying it is.

Aside from the shockwaves from the Toad Style Kung Fu, the swirling green poisonous gas surrounding him was also formidable.

Any flowers and plants touched by this green poisonous gas withered, turned black, and then died and decayed in the blink of an eye!
The group of people involved in the battle were inevitably affected by Ouyang Feng's poison gas.

However, these individuals possessed unbelievably profound skills and incredibly strong physical bodies.

These deadly poisons, capable of killing ordinary martial arts practitioners instantly, would be expelled from the body within a single breath, even if inhaled by those few individuals.

However, as they inhale more and more poisonous gas, the rate at which it is neutralized slows down, which gradually affects their martial arts performance.

The first person to feel his attack speed slow down was none other than the unlucky Qiu Qianren.

His movements slowed down, revealing an opening, and he was then swatted away by several people.

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen's Heavenly Gang Formation was originally capable of effectively defending against the poisonous gas, but their skill level was indeed somewhat weak.

Before they could even enjoy the effects of being exposed to the poisonous gas, they were eliminated.
