The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 369 The Limit! The Limit!
In the center of the imperial city, smoke and dust billowed.

The explosive sounds of the energy blasts were like thunderclaps, never ceasing; shockwaves stirred up dust and smoke, obscuring the five figures locked in fierce combat.

However.
The pink peach blossoms fluttering about were exceptionally beautiful.
Nine golden dragons roared and soared, their domineering power unmatched.
The four Zhou Botongs worked together to control a huge vortex of energy, moving back and forth.
Immediately afterwards, an incomparably sharp sword beam tore through numerous obstacles, shattering the three giant toads formed from Ouyang Feng's inner force into countless transparent crystals that dissipated into the air.

Xu Xingchen rushed to Ouyang Feng's vicinity. A dazzling red ribbon emerged from the dust like a divine dragon and quickly wrapped around Ouyang Feng's body as he once again assumed an attack stance.

The red ribbon danced like a dragon, spinning and coiling, and in the blink of an eye, it had wrapped around Ouyang Feng seven or eight times.

They not only wrapped his legs, waist, chest and back around his body, but also his arms.

scoff!

As Hong Ling tightened her grip, her two outstretched arms immediately pressed tightly against her sides.

Ouyang Feng wanted to shout angrily, but his face was tightly wrapped in red silk; he wanted to struggle, but could only huddle like a worm.

Even the giant toad-like shadow behind him, composed of billowing dust, vanished with a roar amidst a series of undulations.

How could Ouyang Feng be willing to fail like this? His belly and neck swelled and shrank, emitting muffled, thunderous croaks, as he tried to gather his inner strength again and launch a counterattack!
But would Xu Xingchen give him that chance?!

Boom!

A ball of red flame rose into the air, about ten feet in size.

It burned fiercely, emitting an extremely intense and dazzling light, with the scorching heat reaching several meters away.

However, the red ribbon burned for a very short time.
Hong Qigong's golden dragon shadow, Zhou Botong's vortex of energy, and Huang Yaoshi's ever-present surprise attacks.
This quickly drew Xu Xingchen back into the battle, preventing him from concentrating his full strength to deal with Ouyang Feng.

Bang!
A massive ring of flames suddenly exploded, scattering outwards, interspersed with several fragments of red silk torn apart by brute force.

In the critical moment, Ouyang Feng finally broke free from the red ribbon's restraints and escaped from its entanglement.

However, he was also scorched black by that incredibly fierce flame, his whole body looking like a human-shaped piece of coal.

In many places, wisps of white smoke are still drifting outwards!
The aura surrounding Ouyang Feng was surging and turbulent.

However, Xu Xingchen, Hong Qigong, Huang Yaoshi, and Zhou Botong could clearly sense his weak nature, which was all bark and no bite!
"Impossible! I won't fail! How could I possibly be defeated by you?"

Ouyang Feng shouted unwillingly, his body transforming into a swift shadow as he charged once again towards the battle not far away.

However.
He had just rushed in when Huang Yaoshi, who appeared out of a shower of pink peach blossoms, slapped him away with a single palm strike.

Then, a golden dragon roared and soared, carrying his figure into the sky!

Finally, they were pulled into the huge vortex stirred up by the four Zhou Botongs, and like clothes in a washing machine, they were spun around involuntarily a few times before being violently thrown back out.

Bang!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.
Ouyang Feng, swept up and attacked by the three men's energy, was like a stone skipping across the water, launched out of the battle circle, bouncing up and falling repeatedly on the bluestone slabs of the ground.
They only stopped when they were several feet away!

Where his body bounced and landed, large slabs of bluestone slabs cracked open with huge, spiderweb-like fissures.

The old eunuch quickly appeared near Ouyang Feng, who was lying on the ground. Looking at the one of the Four Great Martial Arts Masters, whose body was covered in wisps of white smoke and resembled charcoal, he shook his head and exclaimed, "I never thought that you, the mighty Ouyang Feng, would be defeated one day!"

Ouyang Feng, who was lying in the pit in the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the old eunuch with lightning speed.

Just as he was about to say something, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood!

He frowned at his high brow ridges, which had been burned off, slapped the ground with both hands, and his prone body immediately rose into the air, flipped in mid-air, and sat cross-legged on the ground.

His messy hair was scorched by the flames, curling up in many places, with a lot of hair melted together, like charcoal, hanging down his shoulders and back.

He took two deep breaths, trying to calm the turbulent energy within him, and said coldly, "What are you going to do? Are you trying to take advantage of my situation and capture me?!"

The old eunuch was not intimidated by his bluff. He calmly looked him up and down for a while before smiling slightly: "It seems that your injury is not too serious. As long as you rest well, you will be fine in a few days. However, it is not light either. It is absolutely impossible for you to participate in the battle again!"

"Tell me, should I take this opportunity to capture you?!"

Ouyang Feng snorted coldly, displaying the composure of a grandmaster of martial arts, and said calmly, "You can give it a try!"

The old eunuch smiled and remained silent, turning his head to look at the fierce battlefield not far away.

Half a day later, he said leisurely, "After all, you are one of the Four Great Masters of the Martial World. If I were to take you down now, those guys over there might not just stand by and do nothing."

"Very well! Let's wait and see if the four of them fight to the death, then I'll make a decision."

Ouyang Feng remained silent, circulating his internal energy to quickly repair his injuries while looking up at the battle not far away, his eyes filled with gloom and frustration.

He was extremely unwilling to be the first to be eliminated!

In particular, he was defeated by that young man he once looked down upon.
That guy came from behind and surpassed me.

The new generation pushes the old one aside, leaving him, the predecessor, on the beach!
This cruel reality was something he couldn't accept for a while.

Of course, Qiu Qianren, the Iron Palm Water-Drifter whom he had previously defeated, was not considered one of his true opponents. At the same time, he did not truly believe the old eunuch's lies and always maintained a strong sense of vigilance towards him.

If the old eunuch really wants to make a move, Ouyang Feng is not without a desperate trick up his sleeve!

This is the real reason why the old eunuch is unwilling to take action for the time being.
The onlookers on the four city walls were shocked to discover that Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, had been knocked out of the battle and could no longer fight, causing an uproar.

"Defeated! Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, was the first to fall?"

"It seems he was still defeated by that young man."

"That's right! If he hadn't been severely injured by that young man, he wouldn't have been sent flying by the residual force of the other three's attacks."

"Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying! Who would have thought that the second person to be eliminated would be Ouyang Feng?"

Among the crowd watching the battle, the most anxious person was Ouyang Ke, dressed in white, and the group of men and women in white surrounding him.

Even Lingzhi Shangren, Thousand-Handed Butcher Peng Lianhu, Ghost Gate Dragon King Sha Tongtian, and Ginseng Immortal Old Monster Liang Ziweng all had their expressions darken and their eyes become solemn.

Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, was the only top-tier martial arts master their prince could invite.
Now that this top expert, on whom they had placed such high hopes, had been defeated, their feelings were incredibly complex and difficult to describe.

Some looked dazed, some had worried eyes, and some had their mouths agape in disbelief.
A variety of expressions, too many to count!

The commotion on the city wall immediately aroused the curiosity of the group of martial arts practitioners and soldiers maintaining order who were waiting outside.

Some people asked loudly, while others spread the news of the battle in the imperial city.

As a result, the martial arts practitioners and government soldiers outside were also in an uproar.

Not to mention the fierce reactions from the people on the city wall and outside the city.

On the battlefield within the imperial city.
The battle has reached its final stage!
Nine golden dragons, a vast vortex of energy, peach petals swirling and dancing everywhere, and Xu Xingchen surrounded by a double magnetic ring are colliding fiercely time and time again.

Thump thump thump thump thump thump.
The explosive sound, like a series of firecrackers, shook the air in the imperial city.

One ring after another of energy burst forth, sweeping in all directions.

The bluestone slabs on the ground shattered with a crisp crackling sound, turning into dust and rising into the sky as they were swept away by the force of the air, becoming a swirling cloud of smoke and dust.

The smoke and dust obscuring the view was instantly dispersed by the powerful shockwave, revealing the fierce battle inside.

The ground became pitted and uneven, with holes of varying depths everywhere.

Layers of mud splashed into the sky, only to be blown away by the gale.

As a result, those pits became deeper and bigger!

In this fierce battle, Ouyang Feng actually suffered a loss he couldn't speak of.

Whether it's Xu Xingchen, Hong Qigong, Huang Yaoshi, or Zhou Botong, they have all read the contents of the Nine Yin Manual, the number one extraordinary book in the world, to varying degrees.

As a result, their martial arts skills were all improved to a certain extent!

In other words, their martial arts skills had reached the pinnacle, making even the slightest improvement extremely difficult.

That's why Ouyang Feng was able to fight these four guys for so long before being eliminated.

This glimpse reveals just how astonishing and powerful Ouyang Feng's martial arts were, making him a force to be reckoned with throughout the world.

On the battlefield.
The red ribbon that had been torn apart by Ouyang Feng was reassembled by Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen, unleashing his full power, used the dual magnetic rings surrounding him to counter Huang Yaoshi's unpredictable sneak attacks.

The illusory image of the green mountain suppressed the vortex of energy stirred up by the four Zhou Botongs.

With a red ribbon several feet long, she fought against Hong Qigong's nine golden dragons.

A sword beam, ten feet long, danced and crisscrossed, addressing any oversights that arose during the battle from various directions.

Hong Qigong's nine golden dragons, ferocious and savage, rampaged across the battlefield, dealing with the complex and ever-changing battle situation around them.

Huang Yaoshi's movements were still incredibly swift, with the peach blossom petals fluttering and swirling around him. Sometimes they transformed into streaks of pink sword energy that crisscrossed the void, and sometimes they condensed into peach blossom fairies that drifted erratically.

Sometimes the four Zhou Botongs would gather together, creating a powerful vortex of energy to deal with all changes; other times they would separate and rush towards a target, fighting hand-to-hand, creating a fierce and exciting battle.

The battle between the four appears to be still intense and violent.

But everyone knows that they have already pushed their martial arts skills to their limits.

The distinction between victory and defeat
It could happen in an instant!
