The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 365 The Sound of the Flute, Petals, and the Peach Blossom Fairy
Bang!
An inconspicuous branch burst into countless pink peach blossoms.

Huang Yaoshi's figure flashed by inside.

The sound of the flute was melodious and winding, and peach blossoms from all directions gathered and swirled together to form a magnificent pink tornado.

The golden dragon shadow hovered in the sky, roaring as it charged towards the pink tornado again and again.

Each time, they would just pass through, taking away at most some scattered peach blossoms, but they could never find any trace of Huang Yaoshi.

As it passed through once again, the entire thick, pink tornado suddenly exploded.

They danced and swirled around the golden dragon shadow, condensing into pink ribbons that intertwined and surged in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the depths of the branches and trunks of the towering peach tree.

As Xu Xingchen descended from the sky, a glint flashed in his eyes. With a wave of his arm, a black and white magnetic ring shot down, striking a branch of the towering peach tree.

Although his eyes couldn't see anything wrong, his intuition told him that Huang Yaoshi was hiding in that place.

as expected
With a loud bang, the branch shattered once again into countless pink peach blossoms flying everywhere.

Huang Yaoshi's figure appeared and disappeared within, graceful and ethereal.

Xu Xingchen swung his other arm forward and down suddenly, and a phantom of a green mountain, about three zhang in size, crashed down from the sky.

The whooshing sound that cut through the air was as deep and muffled as thunder!
The pink peach blossom ribbon carrying Huang Yaoshi's image intersected with other pink peach blossom ribbons fluttering and swirling around it, and then disappeared without a trace.

The illusory image of the green mountain suddenly crashed onto the canopy of the towering peach tree.

Boom!

Amidst a tremendous, explosive roar.

Countless pink peach blossoms trembled and broke free from the branches, fluttering in the night sky.

The moonlight, like water, spilled onto the fluttering petals.

Like countless showers of petals, their beauty is dazzling and mesmerizing, captivating the soul.

Numerous broken branches and trunks weathered into large handfuls of pink petals as they fell.

The melodious sound of the flute turned sharp.

The pink peach blossoms fluttering in the air suddenly accelerated their spinning and flying speed, then transformed into streaks of pink flower rain sword energy, which rushed towards Xu Xingchen who was falling from the sky, and also towards the golden dragon shadow that was still flying and circling among the branches of the towering peach tree.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.
With a wave of his arm, Xu Xingchen sent the black and white magnetic rings shooting forward. As they spun rapidly, they created layers of flying ring phantoms, blocking all the peach blossom sword rain that was rushing towards them.

The other arm swung downwards repeatedly.

The illusory image of the green mountain appeared again and again, crashing down and smashing the lush canopy of the peach tree, breaking branches and sending peach blossoms flying!

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The illusory image of the green mountain slammed down three times in succession, smashing half of the crown of the towering peach tree.

The golden dragon shadow that Hong Qigong had transformed into roared and rampaged wildly in all directions.

Each impact shatters a large number of tree branches and shatters countless peach petals.

After several repetitions, the remaining half of the tree canopy was completely shattered and blown away.

Click! Click! Click!

Amidst the continuous cracking sounds of trees breaking, the towering peach tree finally shattered and collapsed with a deafening roar.

Huang Yaoshi was still nowhere to be seen, but the changing melody of the flute grew increasingly cheerful and urgent.

The towering peach tree, shattered and collapsed with a crash, was transformed into countless pink petals that danced and swirled in the wind.

One time
The pink petals were so numerous and vast that they were beyond measure, resembling a pink sea of ​​flowers that rose and fell across the ruins in the center of the imperial city, changing in countless ways.

Pfft!
With her feet firmly on the ground, Xu Xingchen continued to control the Yuan Magnetic Ring, which swirled and danced around her to block the incoming pink peach blossom sword energy. At the same time, she tightly gripped the three-inch mountain, ready to throw it at any moment.

Looking into the distance, all around are peach blossom petals fluttering and swirling.

As far as the eye can see, there is a pink ocean.

Waves rise and fall, soaring and swirling, changing endlessly with the ethereal sound of the flute, gathering and dispersing as desired.

Xu Xingchen's figure, Ouyang Feng's giant toad, Hong Qigong's golden dragon shadow, and the four Zhou Botongs shouting in unison were all submerged by this pink peach blossom sea that covered an area of ​​dozens of feet.
The sound of the flute continued to rise, rising and falling.
The crowd watching from the four city walls also saw pink petals falling in front of them.

Although the number of these petals was far less than the undulating pink ocean in the center of the imperial city, they still sparsely and sporadically occupied the night sky of the entire imperial city.

Pink peach blossom petals were falling all around the entire imperial city.
Countless people gasped in disbelief.

"Peach blossoms! So many peach blossoms!"

"What a beautiful shower of peach blossoms!"

"This, how is this possible?"

"Hallucinations, these are all hallucinations."

In the imperial city.

The old eunuch who had taken Qiu Qianren away and locked him up returned to the battlefield. Suddenly, his vision blurred, and he saw pink petals fluttering around him.

He frowned, focused his mind, and blocked the sound of the flute that was affecting him from his eardrums.

The pink petals fluttering around her vanished instantly!
Turning to look at the central battlefield, the pink ocean there was still rising and falling like the tide, swirling and dancing.

The old eunuch muttered to himself, "The flute playing of this Eastern Heretic is truly amazing!"

"It actually managed to affect those fools on the four city walls, and even my mind, causing us to hallucinate."

"The hallucination I'm experiencing is easy to resolve."

"What's terrifying are the peach blossom petals on the battlefield; some are illusions created by the sound of the flute, and some are manifestations of his inner energy."

"With truth and falsehood intertwined, even the other members of the Four Great Martial Arts Masters would find it difficult to distinguish between them in a short time."

After observing for a while longer, the old eunuch's expression became even more solemn: "No, those peach blossom petals were all formed from Huang Yaoshi's internal energy."

"However, 99% of them are illusions, with only a tiny bit of internal energy."

"The two are intertwined, real and unreal, and can be added to or subtracted at will, making them even more indistinguishable."

"This Eastern Heretic's martial arts have reached an unbelievable level, terrifying and awe-inspiring!"

The spectators on the four city walls did not possess the skill of the old eunuch.

Their minds were completely affected by Huang Yaoshi's flute music, and pink peach blossoms kept falling before their eyes.

Some people were stunned, while others were mesmerized.
But in their hearts, they all felt a sense of admiration and even worship.

The reputation of the Four Great Martial Arts Masters is indeed well-deserved!
The melody of the flute became cheerful.

The spectators on the wall seemed to hear a woman's soft, bell-like laughter.

Then, their surroundings changed again.

Amidst the fluttering pink petals, some ethereal fairy figures appeared.

With their snow-white skin, flowing long sleeves, and colorful ribbons draped over them, they flew through the air, scattering a string of joyful laughter.

Sometimes it appears, sometimes it disappears.
This left the observers even more bewildered and incredulous.

On the battlefield in the center of the imperial city
A sea of ​​pink peach blossoms, rising and falling like tides, swirling and dancing.

A woman's light, melodious laughter rang out as well.

Some peach blossom petals suddenly coalesced into the shape of a peach blossom fairy, drifting and swaying in the sea of ​​flowers.
They surrounded Xu Xingchen, dancing gracefully, their smiles captivating, and a faint, sweet fragrance of peach blossoms wafted through the air.

In a daze.
Xu Xingchen seemed to sense a woman silently approaching from behind, her hair gently brushing against her neck, sending a tingling, itchy sensation through her.

As a result, more and more peach blossom fairies constantly shifted between illusion and reality, drifting and flying closer.

Their fingertips gently traced Xu Xingchen's body, strands of hair brushed against his cheeks, and sleeves brushed against his back.
The movements were incredibly gentle and tender.

Wherever it passed, it left a tingling sensation on Xu Xingchen's body.

Subsequently
Thin, long streaks of blood appeared on Xu Xingchen's fair, jade-like skin, with drops of blood flowing and condensing.

At this moment, the thin, shimmering light covering Xu Xingchen seemed to have completely lost its protective function.

"This illusion is terrifying!"

"Neither real nor illusory, seemingly true yet false, its power can penetrate my defenses and directly harm my body."

"Huang Yaoshi's martial arts, in its final stages, truly became a perfect combination of illusion and internal energy."

"Attacks are everywhere! They're impossible to defend against!"

Xu Xingchen focused his mind, and the black and white Yuan Magnetic Ring immediately swirled and danced around him, forcing back all the beautiful women who approached.

*Clap clap clap clap clap clap*
The figure of the beautiful woman constantly shifted and floated between reality and illusion.

The delightful laughter continued unabated!
However, some strands of hair, sleeves, and ribbons fluttering around them were actually struck by the Yuan Magnetic Ring, shattering into pink fireflies that disappeared into the air.

As a result, those beautiful peach blossom fairies became incomplete.

However, soon, new peach blossom petals filled the gaps in their bodies.
This time, the peach blossom fairies waved their arms, and pink longswords made of peach blossom petals appeared in their palms.

Suddenly, the peach blossom fairies rushed in from all directions, attacking Xu Xingchen in the center.

The magnetic ring surrounding Xu Xingchen swiftly passed by the figures of several peach blossom fairies.

bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
Amidst a series of explosive bursts, the figures of the Peach Blossom Fairies were all blasted into countless pink peach blossoms fluttering in the sky.

Such real and undeniable power slightly slowed down the speed at which the Yuan Magnetic Ring flew, allowing the other Peach Blossom Fairies to take the opportunity to get closer.

Beautiful peach blossom swords, shimmering with a captivating pink luster, pierced out with lightning speed.

*Clap clap clap clap clap clap*
A phantom image of a green mountain suddenly enveloped Xu Xingchen within a radius of three zhang.

A dozen or so peach blossom swords, swiftly thrusting towards the target, landed on the illusory image of the green mountain, shattering into handfuls of pink peach blossoms.
