The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 368 Xu Xingchen: Ouyang Feng, it's time to get out!
The battle in the center of the imperial city has entered its most intense phase!

Five top experts gathered together and unleashed their full power, creating billowing dust and flying debris.

Hong Qigong's eyes gleamed with golden light, his disheveled hair whipping wildly behind his head. With each push, pull, strike, and parry of his palms, nine golden dragons coiled and danced around him, meandering and surging, charging and crashing with unparalleled ferocity.
Nine figures, like streaks of golden wind, swept across all directions, suppressing all who dared to resist.

In a sudden burst of speed, it becomes as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder.

Huang Yaoshi's movements became increasingly swift, and the angles of his attacks became more and more novel.

Sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, sometimes in the south, sometimes in the north.
Wherever peach blossom petals flutter, that's where he appears.

At this critical juncture, he abandoned all his fancy illusion attacks, leaving only a few fluttering peach petals as anchors for his movements.

The original, massive illusions, such as towering peach trees and pink flower seas, could easily overwhelm even those who had broken through to the third, second, or first realm, as well as ordinary martial artists.

However, those illusions became useless against four individuals of the same level as himself.

Even if it can confuse the opponent, it won't last long before it's exposed.

Moreover, in that vast illusionary state, it would be impossible to inflict effective damage on the four people!
At this moment, he needs to concentrate his strength to unleash unparalleled power and compete with the other four.

Huang Yaoshi, appearing and disappearing constantly, unleashed a series of Falling Petal Divine Sword Palms amidst fluttering peach blossoms, and flicked his orchid fingers in various gestures.

Countless peach blossoms transformed into streaks of pink sword energy, tearing through the sky like a net, shooting and piercing fiercely.

Even if they are destroyed by attacks from others, those pink petals will transform into peach blossom fairies according to Huang Yaoshi's thoughts, flying around, smiling charmingly, captivating the mind and bewitching the senses.

The four Zhou Botongs joined together, their eight arms lashing out in all directions like a storm, making the air thud like drums.

One after another, bursts of energy exploded outwards, creating waves of chaotic air currents and swirling gusts of wind within a radius of three zhang.

In the blink of an eye, a mighty vortex appeared around the four Zhou Botongs. The vortex spun and roared, sweeping up all the peach blossom sword rain, golden dragon shadows, and toad kung fu shockwaves that rushed into its range. After spinning twice, it was flung away.

Within a radius of three zhang, it became almost Zhou Botong's absolute domain, and no attack could get close.

The three giant toads that Ouyang Feng had transformed into sat on the ground, rear-to-rear, forming a triangle.

Their bellies and necks throbbed and vibrated, sending shockwaves radiating outwards in concentric circles.

The three giant toads simultaneously released shockwaves outwards, influencing each other and, because they were of the same kind, amplifying each other's power, causing the shockwaves to double, increase, and increase again.

Like a rising tide, it stirred up towering waves!
The shockwave swept away everything within a radius of several feet.

The rampaging, raging dragon shadow collided with it, unleashing a deafening series of explosions.

No matter how resilient and tenacious Huang Yaoshi's pink peach blossom petals were, they became difficult and obscure under the sweeping circular shockwaves.

Each step closer requires tremendous effort and involves taking many detours.

Often, for every three feet forward, two feet must be retreated.

It seemed impossible for Huang Yaoshi to appear near the three giant toads.

Each of these four individuals possessed strengths and weaknesses in their martial arts. In such a fierce battle, even if they exerted their full power, they would still be somewhat unable to defeat the others.

However, this stalemate was immediately broken after Xu Xingchen returned to the battlefield!
A red ribbon swirled and danced, binding and entangling Hong Qigong's two golden dragons. Then, a raging fire erupted, burning them into turbulent air currents.

A massive, three-zhang-tall phantom of a green mountain crashed down on Zhou Botong, forcing him back with a deafening roar.

Behind Xu Xingchen, a cluster of peach blossoms swirled and fluttered, bursting open into a large bunch of pink petals.

Huang Yaoshi's figure rushed out from the middle and struck the magnetic ring around Xu Xuxingchen with a lightning-fast palm.

If Xu Xingchen had only one Yuan Magnetic Ring surrounding him, Huang Yaoshi, with his precise control over his own power, might have been able to shatter it with a single palm strike.

However, when the two magnetic rings run in a cross shape, their forces merge and their defensive capabilities, as well as their ability to pull, shift, and dissipate force, are greatly enhanced.

Huang Yaoshi's attack was blocked.

Even more surprisingly, the dual-element magnetic ring rebounded a powerful and domineering force, which rushed up Huang Yaoshi's palm, arm, and body, shattering him into countless pink peach blossom petals.

Even when Ouyang Feng's triple shockwave landed on the dual-elemental magnetic ring, the terrifying force was drawn and shifted in all directions, creating wave after wave of air turbulence around him.

Hong Qigong was taken aback when he saw his two golden dragons destroyed by Xu Xingchen's red ribbon. He sensed the same nature as the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms from the flying and swirling red ribbon, but the power of the flames was completely different from his internal energy.

"This kid, after learning my Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, actually modified it into this form and possessed such astonishing power. He's truly a prodigy! A genius! A prodigy!"

A thought flashed through Hong Qigong's mind. With a wave of his arms, the turbulent air currents from the self-destruction of the seven golden dragons swept past, carrying away some of the power that still existed in his spiritual will.

In an instant, two more golden dragons emerged, bringing the total to nine dragons, which circled and roared around him.

Xu Xingchen burned Hong Qigong's two golden dragons, used the Misty Green Mountain to knock back Zhou Botong, and used the Yuan Magnetic Ring around her to force back Huang Yaoshi who was launching a sneak attack.

Then, a glint flashed in his eyes!
A thin, white sword aura, about ten feet long, carrying a sharp edge capable of cleaving through everything in the world, shot towards the giant toad not far away.

This sword energy is so sharp and fierce that it is unparalleled and hard to find anywhere else in the world!

Wherever they went.
The chaotic and violent air tore open a hole!
The pink peach blossoms that swirled and danced in all directions burst into streaks of crimson fireflies and vanished without a trace!
A roaring, rampaging golden dragon had its horns severed and its tail cut off.
The massive vortex, which was being controlled by four Zhou Botongs, had no effect on it whatsoever!

The shockwaves emanating from the three giant toads passed through them as if puncturing illusory bubbles.
Everything it touched was pierced and split in two.

No obstacles!

All of Xu Xingchen's martial arts skills were created by absorbing the essence of divine skills and unique techniques from various worlds.

such as
The Elemental Magnetic Ring is unparalleled in both defense and offense.
A cloud-escaping movement technique that allows one to walk on clouds.
The illusory green mountain formed by the ultimate sword technique
The vibrant red ribbon that emerged from the fusion of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and his own flame power.
These martial arts all possess outstanding and wondrous characteristics, and all have extraordinary and profound mysteries.

However, it is only in terms of its penetrating sharpness and its ability to cut through all things.
Only the sword's edge!

It is undoubtedly the best in the world!

This peerless sword light, which roamed the world in the previous world, resonating with countless sword practitioners and causing their swords to vibrate and resonate, did not appear in this world with such grandeur. However, it contained the same all-piercing sharpness.

The martial artists watching from the city walls on all four sides felt a surge of immense fear as soon as their eyes fell upon the incredibly sharp sword light. Their hair stood on end, and they couldn't help but shiver.

The sword beam, having pierced through countless attacks, sliced ​​through the eyes and forehead of one of the three giant toads as easily as a knife cutting through tofu.

In the blink of an eye, it burst out from behind its head, spun once in the air, and swept past the waists of the other two giant toads.

As the sword beam, over ten feet long, turned back, the three giant toads shattered into countless transparent crystals amidst a series of loud bangs.

Then, it turned into wisps of white vapor and dissipated into the air!
"Ah! Kid, you've gone too far! This is the second time you've broken my Toad Kung Fu!"

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust stirred up by the explosion of the three giant toads, came Ouyang Feng's furious roar.

While wielding the Red Silk, the Phantom of Green Mountain, and the Yuan Magnetic Ring to fiercely battle Hong Qigong, Zhou Botong, and Huang Yaoshi, Xu Xingchen shouted back, "So what?! Senior Ouyang, you're the next one to be eliminated!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xingchen stomped his right foot on the void, and a three-foot-sized white cloud of energy bloomed from the bottom of his foot. As it rolled and tumbled, it burst forth with an incomparably powerful lifting force, sending Xu Xingchen's body flying away.

The battle has reached this stage.
The five of them had used all their strength, and although the power was strong, it could not be sustained!

So, the time has come to truly determine the winner!
Xu Xingchen, who sprang forward at lightning speed, dodged Huang Yaoshi's sneak attack, Zhou Botong's attack, and Hong Qigong's Golden Dragon Charge.
Relying on the rapidly rotating dual magnetic ring around his body, he pushed all the turbulent energy in front of him forward, backward, left, right, and in all directions.

In this state, his body charged straight in, plunging into the swirling dust and smoke, where he saw the blurry figure of Ouyang Feng.

"Boy, how dare you!"

Ouyang Feng, disheveled and furious, was enraged.

His Toad Style technique, which he had used to its fullest extent, was broken once again, causing his internal energy to surge and his reactions to become somewhat sluggish. However, facing Xu Xingchen who was approaching him with impunity, an uncontrollable raging fire still rose in his heart.

Ignoring the churning energy within him, he stretched his arms out to the sides once more.

The billowing dust around him quickly gathered behind him, condensing into a giant, floating toad-like shadow.

As he inhaled, the giant toad shadow behind him also took a deep breath, its belly bulging out.

"Too slow!"

As Xu Xingchen spoke softly, a red ribbon, like a divine dragon, emerged from the dust beside Ouyang Feng and quickly wrapped around his body.
