The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 364 Color! Color! Color!
The full moon on the fifteenth of August cast its clear, watery light, covering the area inside and outside the imperial city.

Many martial arts practitioners waiting outside the imperial city stood on rooftops and streets, gazing longingly towards the city walls.

They naturally heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from inside the imperial city, and saw the commotion on the city walls, as well as the sudden appearance of many heads.

Even the occasional exclamations from the Song Dynasty soldiers and spectators on the city wall were constantly stimulating their nerves and stirring their hearts.

At this time, some people even began to envy the soldiers on the wall.

Those soldiers were originally deployed to guard against these martial arts figures who might take the opportunity to break into the imperial city and cause trouble!
But now they've come out on top!

Standing on the city wall, one can directly observe the exciting battles within the imperial city.
The soldiers on the city wall probably thought the same thing.

From initial tension, seriousness, and resentment, to present feelings of relief, awe, and joy.
The shift in emotions was incredibly smooth and seamless.

When they saw the refined and elegant man play the pink flute, a towering tree sprouted and quickly grew from the center of the imperial city. Its roots twisted like dragons, its trunk was thick and tall, its branches spread across the sky, and it was covered with countless pink peach blossoms.
The shock to my soul was indescribable!
Is this still a martial artist? Is this still martial arts?
Shouldn't this be the kind of trick only gods or demons would use?!
Subsequently
They watched as a giant toad smashed the jovial, plump old man into four pieces in an instant, and they let out a worried cry.

When they saw that the plump old man's body had split into four parts, turning into four plump old men, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

Someone couldn't help but point at the four plump old men and shout, "A clone technique! It must be a clone technique from the immortals!"

Upon hearing this, some of the other spectators remained silent, while others responded loudly.

The crowd was incredibly excited, and the atmosphere was incredibly lively!
Bang!
A burst of energy exploded outwards.

With a cannonball-like charge, the giant toad split Zhou Botong into four.

Among the four figures.
Someone bumped into the peach tree behind them with a thud and cried out in pain!

Someone somersaulted and jumped to the side, shouting in surprise!

Some people rolled like gourds, rolling several meters away!
Some people tumbled and jumped all the way up to a high place, landing on a thick branch of a towering peach tree.

The four old rascals displayed four completely different movements, four different expressions, and even four different speech sounds.

They seemed to have truly transformed into four individuals with independent thoughts, jumping and swearing all at once.

"You old poisoner, you ambushed me!"

"You old poisoner, you're too despicable!"

"You old poisoner, that hit me really hard!"

"Wow, this peach tree is so realistic! Huang Yaoshi's illusion magic is getting more and more powerful!"

The giant toad that smashed Zhou Botong into four pieces flew past the peach tree trunk and landed on the ground on the other side.

The peach tree trunk that was brushed by its huge body exploded into pink peach blossoms flying everywhere.

However, accompanied by the melodious sound of the flute echoing through the imperial city, the pink peach blossoms swirled around the towering peach tree, forming long, thin pink ribbons, and like birds returning to their nests, they flocked to the gaps in the tree trunk to fill and repair them.

The sound of the flute suddenly became as fierce as swords!
The rain of peach blossoms falling from the sky suddenly accelerated, transforming into streaks of pink meteor sword energy that pierced towards the four Zhou Botongs from all directions.

Nearly half of the peach blossom rain sword energy rushed towards the giant toad not far away.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh.
Streams of pink sword energy pierced the sky like shooting stars, their power comparable to a volley of ten thousand arrows.

The four Zhou Botongs leaped and bounded, unleashing a flurry of punches that sent all the approaching peach blossom sword rain flying.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.
Fists clashed fiercely with the pink peach blossom sword rain, unleashing wave after wave of powerful gusts of wind.

Many of the peach blossom sword energies, impacted, transformed into streaks of beautiful pink fireflies and dissipated into the air.

A small portion of the peach blossom sword rain had not yet dissipated. As the sound of the flute echoed, it once again danced and swirled in the air, gathering its strength before transforming into a rain of falling sword meteors.

the other side.
The countless pink meteor-like swords fired at the giant toad also received a powerful counterattack.

Cluck cluck!

Cluck cluck!

Cluck cluck!

With each deafening croak, shockwaves erupted from the giant toad's body.

The pink sword rain that fell from the sky like a whirlwind was shaken and collapsed one after another!
Within a radius of three zhang around the giant toad's body, the area became a forbidden zone for the pink rain of swords, and not even a single peach blossom petal could get close.

The scenes on both sides were spectacular, yet fraught with danger.

The onlookers on the wall watched as the four white-haired elders shattered the dense rain of peach blossom swords with each punch; they saw the giant toad unleash a shockwave with every croak, continuously collapsing and forcing back the pink peach blossom sword rain.
A strange sense of dissonance arose in my mind: "The power of those peach blossom sword rains doesn't seem that great!"

Those with keen eyesight saw the aftershocks of the pink peach blossom sword rain striking the bluestone slabs with a series of "plop, plop, plop" sounds, creating finger-sized craters and spraying out a series of towering plumes of smoke and dust. Their faces turned grim, and a chill ran down their spines. Especially the Song Dynasty generals, eunuchs, imperial guards, and other court officials; cold sweat poured down their foreheads, and they secretly rejoiced at their good fortune in not having to deal with those terrifying, god-like figures below.

at this time
The intense explosions coming from high above drew their attention to another battlefield.

In the center of the imperial city, a figure treads on the ever-blooming and surging white clouds, leaping left and right, jumping up and down, using every part of the void as a stepping stone.

With one hand he commanded a constantly spinning black and white ring, while with the other he smashed down a phantom of a green mountain of varying sizes, engaged in a fierce battle with a golden dragon shadow.

The golden dragon shadow emitted bursts of dragon roars as it swirled and danced in the air, moving as fast as a golden whirlwind. Occasionally, it would burst forth with lightning speed, catching everyone off guard!
It shook its head and wagged its tail, repeatedly knocking away the black and white flying rings that landed on its head, and repeatedly overturning the illusory image of the green mountain that crashed down on it.

Each violent collision creates a massive, ring-shaped shockwave.

The intensity and the strangeness of their battle made the onlookers on the surrounding walls think they were watching gods fight.

Do not!
It should be a battle between gods and dragons!

Inconceivable, yet terrifyingly astonishing!
As the five were engaged in fierce combat...
The old eunuch's figure quietly appeared beside Qiu Qianren, who was lying on the ground unable to move.

The old eunuch glanced at the magnificent and spectacular battlefield in the distance, then looked down at Qiu Qianren in the pit and said softly, "Although you have also broken through to the fourth level of the Breakthrough Realm, you are still far behind those five terrifying guys over there."

Lying on the ground, Qiu Qianren's face was blackened and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Even from the corner of his bloodshot eyes, he could see the towering pink tree in the distance, the rain of peach blossom swords flying and shooting around, and the two figures engaged in fierce battle in the sky.

His eyes held a mixture of shock, resentment, frustration, and annoyance.

The complexity of the emotions is self-evident!

Hearing the old eunuch's teasing, he rolled his eyes and focused his attention on the old eunuch's cold and indifferent face.

The old eunuch squatted down, touched his body, and sneered, "Many of your bones are broken, your internal organs are severely injured, and your body's energy is in disarray."

"With injuries like yours, anyone else would have died on the spot."

"But what can I do? You're a top-tier expert who has broken through four realms."

"Your life potential is incredibly abundant, enough to barely prolong your life and prevent you from dying on the spot."

Even if you recover completely in the future, your martial arts skills will likely be greatly diminished.

Qiu Qianren knew that his current physical condition was extremely bad, but he didn't understand what the old eunuch meant by saying these words to him.
The old eunuch saw the doubt in his eyes and said calmly, "The only top expert in our Great Song Dynasty is myself!"

"I'm afraid I have no chance; I won't be able to take down any of those five guys."

"But the dignity of my Great Song Dynasty cannot be compromised!"

"Someone must be held responsible for this major incident tonight."

"If we could use you, a top-tier expert, as a scapegoat and behead you as a warning to all the villains in the world, that would surely deter them."

"It won't allow the Great Jin Kingdom or some uncouth martial artists in the Jianghu to develop contempt for our Great Song Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Qianren glared angrily, his throat bobbing as if he wanted to unleash a string of profanities to express his agitated state of mind.

However, he only coughed up mouthful after mouthful of blood, but could not utter a word.

The old eunuch pressed several acupoints on his body and sealed several vital points, completely severing the powerful healing process that was underway in his body.

Then, he grabbed it, and with a swift movement, left behind a series of spiraling afterimages before disappearing without a trace.

Bang bang bang bang!

Amidst a series of explosive bursts of energy, the golden dragon shadow that had been soaring and circling high in the sky finally exhausted its last breath.

Xu Xingchen seized the opportunity and unleashed a phantom image of a green mountain, knocking it down.

The golden dragon shadow fell in the direction of the towering pink peach tree in the center!
Click! Click! Click!

During its descent, it broke countless tree branches and twigs.

The broken branches and twigs burst into a shower of pink peach blossoms, which then transformed into pink ribbons under the guidance of the flute music. These ribbons swirled and converged from all directions at the broken gaps, where they regenerated into branches and twigs.

The golden dragon shadow crashed down to the middle of the towering peach tree, finally catching its breath. It then circled the thick trunk of the tree, spinning and dancing a few times.

A dragon's roar resounded.

It suddenly charged toward one of the most inconspicuous tree branches.

Bang!
The tree branch broke off, scattering into countless pink petals that danced in the air.

Huang Yaoshi's figure was faintly visible inside.
